Author Description

Excerpt from State Teacher College Duluth, Minnesota, Twentieth Annual Catalogue, 1921-1922: With Announcement for 1922-1923 The distinctive purpose of the institution is to prepare teachers for the public elementary schools of the State. At the same time the completion of a year of work in addition to that ordinarily required will qualify for teaching any of the elementary subjects in junior high schools, for principalships of graded schools, and for principalships and teaching positions in the teacher training departments of high schools. The general organization of the College conforms to the two-fold aspect of the work involved in the preparation of teachers. In the Academic Department instruction is given in the subjects of the elementary school curriculum and those special subjects necessary to an understanding of the problems of elementary education. The Training Department, which in eludes a kindergarten and the usual eight grades, provides the opportunity for observation and student-teaching. The college maintains an elementary school of its own and is in the fortunate position of being able to arrange for each student teacher to have a part of her preliminary teaching experience in the city schools of Duluth. Both the academic work and that of the training department are so differentiated as to meet the special requirements in the preparation of teachers for the several classes or departments of the elementary school.
