THE UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL [For the Faculty of the University High School, see p. 34 of this Register.] THE UNIVERSITY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION The School of Education of the University of Chicago was formed by the consolidation with the University of the Chicago Institute, founded by Mrs. Emmons McCormick Blaine and presided over by the late Colonel Francis W. Parker; the Laboratory School of the Department of Education in the University, the founder and director of which was Professor John Dewey, Head of the Department of Education; the South Side Academy, the Dean of which was Associate Professor William B. Owen, of the University; and the Chicago Manual Training School, whose head for many years has been Dr. Henry H. Belfield. There is, therefore, gathered in one group of buildings a complete school system-kindergarten, elementary, high school, and college grades-with opportunities for training teachers under the most favorable educational surroundings, and with all the privileges of a great university. The fundamental element in the significance of this School of Education, as expressed in an address given by Dr. John Dewey, is the desire and resolute purpose to promote the cause of education, not only here, but everywhere, through inspiring teachers with more vital and adequate conceptions of the nature of their work, and through furnishing them with the intellectual equipments necessary to make them effective and apt in carrying out such broadened and deep ideals. THE BUILDINGS The buildings of the School of Education are situated on Scammon court, between Kimbark and Monroe avenues, the main building facing the Midway Plaisance. When finally completed, there will be one large building in the form of a quadrangle, but at present the east and west wings are incomplete. The result is that there are really two buildings, the one housing the College of Education, the Elementary School, and the academic part of the High School; the other housing the Manual Training Department of the High School. The buildings are of stone, with tile roofs to correspond with the other buildings of the University, although the actual details of architectural style are different. The main building has a frontage of 350 feet and a depth through its two wings of 162 feet. It is four stories high, but passenger and freight elevators give easy access to the upper floors. First floor-On the first floor are the administrative offices of the College and of the Elementary School, the Kindergarten and first four grades of the Elementary School, the departments of Mathematics and Physics of the College and High School, and other classrooms. Second floor-On the second floor is the Library, with some 15,000 volumes; a reading-room; a Seminar room; the departments of Geography, History, and Oral Reading; a gymnasium for the primary grades; and classrooms for grades from the fifth to seventh of the Elementary School. There is also a complete theater with stage, footlights, drop curtain, etc. This room will accommodate about 200 persons, and in it are given during the year many plays by the children of the Elementary School. Third floor-Immediately above the Library is the Museum, which is one of the special features of the school; the departments of Psychology, Nature Study, Home Economics, and Chemistry; the Eighth Grade of the Elementary School; and a rest room for the women of the College. Fourth floor-On the fourth floor are the departments of Music, Elementary Woodworking, Drawing and Painting, Clay-Modeling and Pottery, Sewing and Textiles, Photography. by means of which a large picture of any section of the surrounding landscape can be projected into a dark room immediately below. In the basement of the building are the kiln-room and the casting-room. The building is equipped with a complete telephone system, with an automatic central switchboard. The Manual-Training Building of the School of Education is immediately in the rear of the main building, and is completely adapted to its purpose and up to date in every respect. Its dimensions are 350 by 65 feet. The two ends are each three stories in height, and the shops between are one-story high and are lighted by a saw-tooth roof. The drawing-rooms are well lighted and are furnished with the latest appliances, including facilities for blue-printing. The wood-shops have a complete outfit of benches, carpenters' and turners' tools, lathes, planer, band and circular saw, and complete facilities for cabinet-making. The forge-shop is furnished with down-draft forges, pressure blower and exhaust fan, a complete outfit of smithing tools, gas furnace for tempering and brazing, and also drill and emery wheels. The foundry is equipped with a cupola, facilities for floor and benchwork, two brass furnaces, core oven with revolving iron shelves, and a large assortment of patterns and flasks. The machine shop is equipped with eighteen lathes from twelve to twenty inches swing, planer, shaper, two universal milling machines, two drill presses, sensitive drill, water tool grinder, universal grinder, and a large assortment of small tools. All machinery in the building is driven by electric motors. GENERAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COLLEGE OF EDUCATION The College of Education is organized for the purpose of training persons who desire to teach in elementary schools, high schools, and colleges. It is not only a college of the University with all college privileges, but also a professional school for the training of teachers, and has therefore a very intimate connection with the University High and Manual Training School, and the University Elementary School. This union of educational forces makes it possible to combine theory and practice in a very satisfactory way and thus attain the desired end of giving the studentsin-training not only inspiration, practical insight and skill, but also command of the fundamental intellectual tools of the work which they are about to undertake. Chapel Assembly-Students in the College of Education meet in Chapel Assembly on Tuesdays at 10:30 A. M., Room 214. Attendance is required. Physical Culture-Two hours a week during four Quarters are required of students in Courses A and B; during two Quarters, of students in the Arts and Technology courses. College of Education Council-The Council is com posed of five members elected as follows: one from students in Course A, one from those in the Kindergarten course, one from those in Arts and Technology, and two from those in Course B. This Council serves as the Executive Committee of the students of the College of Education in relation to the Administrative Board of the Senior Colleges, and only those may be chosen as Councilors whose academic records make them eligible for public appearance. Unclassified students-Undergraduate students not seeking a degree may be admitted to the courses of instruction offered in the University, under the fol lowing conditions: (1) The student must be not less than twenty-one years of age. (2) There must be a sufficient reason for not entering a regular course. (3) Such examinations as the Dean and the instructors concerned may deem proper prerequisites to the work to be undertaken must be satisfactorily passed. (4) Unclassified students are not received for elementary subjects only. For example, students are not received for beginning French, beginning German, etc., unless advanced work in some other line is also taken. (5) It is understood that the admission of unclassified students to the University is a privilege which will be terminated in the case of any individual, if, at any time, the Faculties have reason to believe that the best use is not being made of it. (6) It is also understood that when a student has admission and college credits amounting to fifteen units he may on recommendation of the Dean, and by vote of the Faculty of the Junior Colleges, be admitted to a Junior College. Practice-teaching.-No person may receive the diploma, certificate, or degree of the College of Education who has not satisfied the requirements in regard to practice-teaching. These are outlined in connection with the curricula of the various courses. The general statement is as follows: Students registering for practice are required to give at least one hour a day to the work. In addition, they must attend the critic meetings conducted by the principal and the grade teachers at prearranged hours, and to allow for such other time to the practice school as may be necessary to insure efficiency on their part and to protect the best interests of the pupils. CURRICULA Four classes of Curricula have been arranged in the College of Education: I. General Course A: two years, based upon graduation from a high school having a four years' course and recognized by the University. For elementary-school teachers. A Kindergarten Course for the training of persons who desire to teach in the kindergarten grades has been arranged, which differs but slightly from the general course. It has the same admission requirements and extends over the same amount of time. II. General Course B: four years, based upon graduation from a high school having a fouryears' course and recognized by the University. Of the fifteen units, eight and a half are prescribed. The degree of Ed. B. is conferred at the successful completion of this course. For persons intending to teach in almost any division of school work, but especially as secondary-school teachers, critic teachers, departmental supervisors in elementary and normal schools, etc. III. Courses for students preparing to teach in secondary and normal schools: four years, based upon the general admission requirements for the degrees A.B., S.B., and Ph.B. IV. Courses in Arts and Technology: two years, based in general upon the same admission requirements as for General Course A, and intended for those who wish to become teachers of special subjects in elementary schools; also those who wish to become supervisors and special or departmental teachers in normal schools, mechanical and agricultural colleges, high schools, and large city school systems. These courses have their own specific requirements indicated in the detailed statements on pages, 127, 128 and should be carefully studied. General Requirements for Admission Preparation for admission to the College of Education is expected to cover a period of four years in a first-class high school or institution of similar grade. Admission credits are reckoned in units, and a unit corresponds to a course of study comprising not less than 150 hours of prepared work. Two hours of laboratory work are regarded as the equivalent of one hour of prepared work. Fifteen units are required for admission to the College of Education. For admission to Course B eight and a half are prescribed. For details see admission under each curriculum given below. For requirements of admission to the University, see pp. 57-66 of this Register. Graduation and Diploma 1. No candidate will receive a diploma, certificate, or degree from the College of Education until the Faculty is convinced of his ability to teach successfully in some specified grade, department, or school. 2. A minimum of one year's residence work in the College of Education is required before a student can be granted a certificate, diploma or degree. I. GENERAL COURSE A. (TWO YEARS) Admission 1. To regular standing — classified students.Granted to students who offer any fifteen of the units accepted for admission to a Junior College of the University. This admits (a) graduates of universities, colleges, and normal schools; (b) students who have taken partial courses in approved colleges or normal schools, provided they have honorable dismissal from the same, and provided they offer at least fifteen units of admis sion work; (c) graduates of high schools and academies affiliated or co-operating with the University. 2. Not to regular standing—unclassified students.— (a) To teachers of at least one year's successful experience, when recommended by the Director and the Dean of the College of Education; (b) to graduates of high schools and academies not in affiliation or co-operation with the University, provided such high schools and academies have standard four-year courses such as are accepted by the leading state universities; (c) to students who have had, in private schools, courses which are fully equivalent to those mentioned under (b). Applicants for admission as unclassified students must present official testimonials or certificates showing the amount and kind of work which they have done. When the work of unclassified students has been shown to be satisfactory, they shall be given regular standing in the College of Education, provided they present the requisite number of admission credits. For admission, either as regular or as unclassified students in the College of Education, students must be free from physical defects likely to impair their usefulness as teachers. Admission to Advanced Standing All work over and above that included in the highschool course which has been done by a student in a reputable normal school, college, or other institution of like standing and grade, on being submitted to the University Examiner will receive due advanced credit in the College of Education. Graduation and Diploma 1. On the completion of the two-year course, a diploma is given to the student.

All courses in the other Colleges of the University for which students in the College of Education are qualified are open to them. Practice-teaching.-Three Majors of practice work in the University Elementary School are required for graduation, at least two of which must be taken in the second year. KINDERGARTEN TRAINING COURSE (TWO YEARS) The admission requirements are the same as for General Course A. The duration of time is two years, and upon the completion of the course a diploma is given. The object of this special course is to give those who desire to teach in the kindergarten grades a thorough preparation for their work, and at the same time furnish some insight into the work of the elementary grades. To this end the course has been made as broad as possible, and the results have justified this innovation. Observation and practice-teaching are required to the extent of three Majors, and opportunity for this work is afforded in the kindergarten grades of the University Elementary School and in other schools in the vicinity. These three Majors are under the Department of Education. |
