FUTURE SCHOOL TEACHERS TRAIN IN CLASSROOM 56 Butler Students Spend Hour Daily Teaching Pupils-at Arsenal High. About fifty-six students of s the' education department of Butler University are spending one hour every day facing the “terrors” of the school rooms at Arsenal Technical High School as part of their training to become future teachers. “The attitude of the high school students toward their practice teachers’ is very good,” said Prof. Lee O. Garber, a director of practice teaching of the education course at Butler. “They seem to take the Butler cadets as seriously as if they were their real teachers.” # Teach Every Day The cadets teach their major subject one hour every day at Technical. In the summer they practice on classes at Shortridge High School. The colored students will now go to the new Crispus Attucks High j School. Each Butler student goes j into the class and substitutes for the ! real teacher. They are visited once! every two weeks by Prof. Garber who checks them “in action.” • The course in practice teaching was first offered at Butler in 1920, three ySars before the State Department of Education required it of all applicants for first grade teachers’ i licensesAt that time, Dr. W. L. Richardson, head of the education depart- I ment, was the only member of the practice teaching department. The first year the course attracted only seven students. Last yipar 137 were enrolled. Six faculty members now spend most of their time supervis-; ing the cadets. Work With Same Class The course has proved a success in giving senior students actual experience in the classroom before they graduate. They are assigned at the beginning of the semester to one of a staff of regular teachers of the schq*l. The cadets then meet the same class every day during the entire semester, either helping the # teacher, doing actual teaching, or observing the regular teacher at work. ' The work at Butler is similar to Indiana University, the University of Chicago, the University of Cleveland, and others where the city schools used to give the cadets experience. The Butler University Student Teachers Association is made up of students who are going to teach. The organization is social and professional. SENIOR CLASS ELECTS Robert Howerton Chosen President at Manual Training High. New officers of the Senior class of 1928 at. Mrnual Training High School have been elected.

PAPER PROJECTS KEEP HANDS OF CHILDREN BUSY Ingenuity Shown in Exhibit of School Pupils’ Work At Teachers’ Library. While all the Indianapolis grownups fussed around last year with the heavy problems of running the town, building memorials and digging ditches, thousands of little hands and minds of Indianapolis school children were intent upon book and paper projects. But for all the fussing, rushing and money grabbing the school children may have as much to show for a year's work as the whole town together. Over in the Teachers’ Special Library dozens of pictures, books, costumes, notebooks, musical instruments, dolls and pictures are on display representing the music activities and materials of all the Indianapolis public schools for last year. 83 Schools Represented Which goes to show that if a child can’t, build a house neither can dad or mother make a drum out of an oat meal box or play Hansen and Gretel. All the high schools as well as elementary schools have music work on display. Only six schools besides the new schools our of eighty-nine are not represented in the exhibit. Every type of music study from the chants of the American Indian to foreign folk lore is represented by drawings, costumes, pictures and other work. Many of the lower grades of the elementary schools were organized into juvenile bands and orchestras. Little hand-made hats, coats and trousers of the "musicians” were exhibited around the library wins. Many school bands made their own instruments using cerdal boxes and heavy wire for drums and triangles, or baby fattlers for sleigh bells. Daily Musical Programs In one comer is a marionette setting with miniature characters made by the children. In another, is a brilliantly painted scene from “Hansel and Gretel.” Two lone Indians, gifts of the educational museum, stand solemly by their birch bark canoe and tepee representing the study of Indian music in the schools. Stacks of music notebooks from bqth high schools and grades are shown. On the display boards may be found original musical compositions of students or drawings showing the correlations between music and geography, history, or art. The exhibit is given under the auspices of the music department and directed by Miss Lorle Krull and Ernest G. Hesser, head of the department. Musical programs were given each afternoon of this week.
