CURRICULA PREPARATORY TO T H E TEACHING OF ENGLISH AND SPEECH The administration of the curricula in English and Speech will be entrusted to a committee, or perhaps two committees, appointed by the University Council on Teacher Education, on the training of teachers in Speech and English. The committee, or committees, shall be responsible for advising students who enter the curricula and shall, under the general direction of the University Council on Teacher Education, recommend to the Dean of the college in which the students are registered adequate substitutions for required courses. Summary of Requirements

ENGLISH

The following courses and electives will constitute the program in subject: Engl. 23—Shakespeare Rhet. 3—Exposition Engl. 16—Modern English Grammar Lib.

Five hours of speech will be required of all English-teaching majors, except that the requirements here stated will be waived for students who elect Speech as a minor teaching subject. T w o of these hours must be in Speech 10 (Oral Interpretation of L i t e r a t u r e ) . T h e other three must be taken from one of two new courses, designated temporarily a s : Speech X (Fundamentals of

Six of these hours must be in courses restricted to advanced undergraduates. * The list of courses given here is purely tentative. It is necessary that an agreement be reached so that the advisers of future teachers in English have a definite understanding of the restrictions under which they must work. The Committee believes that substitutes, perhaps combined courses, may be found to take the place of Library Science 7, Journalism 47, Political Science ia, American History 3b, and Education 69. The Committee would like to see a new reading course which would give the training now available only through Library Science 7 and Education 69. Political Science ia and History 3b are being used until special courses are created to take their place. All of these courses give training that administrators and teachers in high school consider essential. At present, these seem to be the only courses through which the prospective teacher may get this training.
