In considering the problems Involved In this responsibility Butler University's college of education and other teacher-training institutions have appraised their field and focused their efforts that today's work may be guided efficiently In view of tomorrow's expectations. There is a definite recognition that teacher-education Institutions are confronted with the challenging task of preparing teachers for a society beset with many social, political and economic problems. Whether or not democracy can survive will depend to a large extent upon the teachers who are training and guiding children in the democratic purposes of society. In a crisis such as exists in the world today there is added responsibility placed upon teacher-education institutions to prepare teachers who, in turn, can train the youth in their charge to function efficiently in the preservation of our American way of life. There are a number of functions to be served by a teacher-education institution as it prepares teachers for schools of our modern society, in the fulfillment of which Butler seeks to conform to the following Ideals.

Here we must base our training upon a sound philosophy of education and realistic psychology of teaching and learning.

Our task is to prepare teachers who know and understand the society in which they live and the place of the school In that society; teachers who know boys and girls understand their differences, their interests and their needs and who like to work with them; teachers with a vigorous training in realistic thinking, able to adjust themselves to any situation as a result of their ability to think; teachers who know what to teach, how to teach it and who have demonstrated their ability through a rigorous practice teaching program and Internship under the guidance of outstanding critic teachers. 4.

The department of elemrntary education is devoted to the fulfillment of two tasks. One Is to promote general interest In the purposes and problems of elementary education; the other Is to develop young men and women of character and outstanding ability for the profession of teaching In the kindergarten and elementary grades of the public schools.

The curricula followed by the department are approved fully by the Indiana State Department of Education. They provide adequate training for teachers and supervisors at all levels of the elementary field In hoth undergraduate and graduate divisions. A unique feature In the training of undergraduate students at Butler Includes the opportunity for observation and practice under superior supervising teachers in elementary schools in the city of Indianapolis. This practice takes on the character of an asslslantship in which the student teacher is expected to render a definite service in the classroom by participating directly in the conduct of the school program for a full half day throughout the year or a complete day throughout one semester. Thus the student is made familiar with modern practices in teaching and with the task of managing and In teaching, her contribution to extracurricular activities and the devotion and respect she inspires by her character."
