Page 2 THE KF.BRASKAN Welhroik lalcs , . , Teachers consider music, art as leisure time subjects Unwillingnes of school adminis trators to consider nnisic and art us basic subjects and to grant credit for them is owing in part to the use many persons make of them as avocations dining leisure time, declared Dr. Arthur E. West brook, director of the schol of fine arts, Tuesday evening at the state conference on teacher educa tion being considered this week at tthe Student Union. "Those who study music and art enjoy their work too much, and educators arc suspicious of courses unless a certain amount of 'mental pain' accompanies them," he stated. The speaker contended that the general teacher can learn enough about these fields to be aware of what is going on in them and to help students understand them, but that it requires a maximum of specialization in college training to really prepare a teacher as an in structor in music or art. Specialized Subjects. "They are highly specialized subjects, and both school systems arftl communities expect a great deal from those who attempt to teach them," said Dr. Westbrook. He introduced Dr. Frank K. Sorenson of teachers college who explained the operation of this summer's hobby shop in the Stu dent Union.

Noted Alaskan tells of north Edgar C. Raine, called "the world's best authority on Alaska," presented a travelogue in natural colors on "Alaska, the Frontier Wonderland of the World" at the Student Union Monday evening. The public was invited to hear Raine without charge. Now mak ing his 2-tth annual tour of the United States, the noted lecturer has resided in and traveled ex tensively through Alaska during the last 23 years, during ten of which, as the representative of the U. S. treasury department, he visited every town and village in Alaska and many villages in Si beria once a year. A confirmed believer in the "lure of the north," Raine packed an outfit over the famous Chil eoot Pass in 1S97, during the stampede to the Klondike. In his hour and a half lecture and mo tion picture he showed beautiful color shots of glaciers, waterfalls, seal and walrus herds. Eskimo igloos and Siberian Mazinka houses, quaint natives, whaling, the Midnight Sun, and Northern Lights.

M., Monday, July 28 Union Porlors XYZ Teachers clinic considers many Morking points Four working groups were formed to facilitate consideration of various problems of teacher ed ucation at the state conference in session at the university Student Union. They are respectively con cerned with the following ques tions: 1. Who shall teach? What are the characteristics, abilities, and functions of a good teacher? How can they be determined and evalu ated? Should there be a selective program in teachers colleges? If so, what devices and standards should be set up for it? 2. What should be the relation of general and special education in preparation of teachers? How can teachers be properly prepared to teach from two to five sub jects? Can superintendents help by agreeing upon teaching com binations to be followed in their schools? Should specialization be in fields rather than subjects and is a broad general education also neccs&ary ? Educational psych. 3. How can educational psychol ogy help teachers to understand human growth and development and various other aspects of hu man behavior? 4. What are some of the in service education plans being used by various colleges, and how can they be expanded and improved?
