Normal Schools of Illinois are officially connected with the School in the capacity of Special Lecturers, each speaking before its students two or more times each year. Other educators of prominence are also invited from time to time to do similar service. PRACTICE TEACHING Although it is impossible to introduce into the work of any professional school, the actual conditions under which the profession must be practiced, nevertheless, it is important to do so as fully as possible. In the School of Education this is done through observation and practice teaching in some organized school system. For this purpose the Academy of the University, and neighboring high schools are utilized. Both observation and practice are under the direction of competent critic-teachers, criticizing their work and offering helpful suggestions. UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS PEDAGOGICAL INSTITUTE This is an organization of the students and faculty of the School of Education conducted in every respect as are teachers' associations among those actually engaged in school work. It holds monthly sessions from October to May inclusive. At each session an address is delivered by some one of the special lecturers of the School of Education, while another part of the session is devoted to papers, addresses, and discussions by the members of the association. All members of the University, as well as the public school teachers of the State, are eligible as associate members of the association. Graduates of the School of Education retain their active membership. THE PEDAGOGICAL LIBRARY AND MUSEUM In the rooms of the Department of Education in University Hall is a considerable collection of photographs of school buildings, drawings and constructive work by pupils in the public schools, and the nucleus of a representative collection of apparatus for the school laboratory. In addition to this are more than 8,000 text-books, national, state and city reports, courses of study and other educational documents of value. A card catalog of 9,000 titles carefully classified, covering recent educational magazine literature is also in the rooms of the Department. The special announcement of the School of Education describing the work in greater detail may be had by addressing the Registrar of University.

To train and prepare men for the efficient practice of the different professions of engineering and that of architecure, as well as to become managers of great business and industrial enterprises. Both professional and cultural studies are prescribed, since the successful engineer must possess broad views and be able to write and speak correct and vigorous English in order to present his views clearly and effectively. Training in proper methods for solving engineering problems is of much greater importance than the collection of stores and data, however valuable. But the graduate must be an efficient worker at the beginning of his career in some specialty of his chosen profession. 2. To provide instruction for graduates and to supervise their studies in selected fields, thus meeting a demand for highly specialized instruction and research. 3. To make original investigations and experiments in those lines of research which are of greatest interest and promise to the engineering and industrial enterprises of the citizens of this state. EQUIPMENT The buildings are described on pages 47-51. The special equipment of each department is described in connection with that department. The general equipment of the College consists of a good reference library of indexes, pocket-books, mathematical tables, and other works, together with a very valuable collection of apparatus for economizing time and ensuring accuracy of engineering calculations, and checking computations. |
