...will attempt also a measure of completeness we have not heretofore been able to attain. No student will be recommended for the degree of Master of Education who has had only such instruction and training as may develop his craftsmanship in teaching or school management without giving him a grasp of education as a whole. The new plan will provide a more thorough and more unfilled professional preparation. With only one year at its disposal, the School has been under pressure to give practical training at the expense of courses of a more fundamental character. Hereafter, our program will...
