Department of History and Institutes of Education, Course I. In any department or departments, either Major or Minor courses. There is also a two years’ course for the training of Kindergartners, on the completion of which a certificate is granted, and a post-graduate course for those who desire it. One hundred and twenty-six students were in training when I visited it, and of these only three or four were men. The whole course of training centres round the School of Observation and Practice. The lecturers on method also teach in the school, and are responsible there for the teaching of their own special subjects. They give lessons on these, which are listened to by the students, and they also criticise lessons given by the latter. A good deal of the time devoted to the study of methods is employed in the learning how to make simple apparatus and illustrations. Classes are held on Saturdays for those who are engaged in teaching during the rest of the week. The college has also undertaken the publication of a series of pamphlets on educational subjects. The whole work of this college impressed me as being of a very high character, and there was such an atmosphere of life and enthusiasm that it would seem that teachers must go forth from thence inspired with a love for their work and a determination to advance it by every means in their power. It is just this rousing to enthusiasm which seems to lie at the root of training, and the surest means of bringing this about is for those who undertake it to be enthusiastic themselves. I had the opportunity of talking to most of the lecturers, and shall not readily forget the keen interest and pleasure they all seemed to take in their special departments, the readiness, nay eagerness, with which they appeared to welcome new ideas and work them out, and the willingness with which they shared with others the results of their own experience and research. One of the most interesting of the many institutions which I visited was the Clark University at Worcester. It is entirely devoted to Graduate work, and consists of a group of five departments: 1. Mathematics; 2. Physics; 3. Chemistry; 4. Biology; 5. Psychology (with sub-department of Education). Two or three years’ work at the University and an original thesis are the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. There is no very clearly marked line between professors and students. Students are often specialists, and as such asked to give short courses in their special subjects, and professors and lecturers attend each other’s courses. Docents, or those who, having fulfilled certain conditions, desire to undertake research work, are provided with rooms and apparatus for their work. The President, Dr. Stanley Hall, is especially interested in the department of Education. The following outline of the course is from the University Calendar:--
