House Democrats don’t like the STATE SCHOOL MEN URGE BIG CHANGES Recommend Elimination of Du- plication of Courses’ in N. D. Colleges REPORT IS MADE TO BOARD Back More Rigid Program of Selective Admission to Teacher Courses Recommendations for elimination of duplications and for coordinating courses of study, agreed on unanim- ously at a two-day conference of heads of state educational intsitutions, ‘were announced Monday by Nelson Sauvain, chairman of the state board of administration, who presided over the meetings. The recommendations were made in an effort to conform with a 1933 leg- islative act directing that duplication of courses be eliminated in the cur- ricula of institutions of higher learn- ing in North Dakota. Meeting with the presidents were members of the state board of admin- istration, which has taken the report of the college heads under considera- tion. The recommendations made are: That the agricultural college dis- continue all work of preparing high school teachers except that of train- ing for Smith-Hughes work in the high schools and certain phases of teaching applied science in those schools. That the teachers colleges, science school and school of forestry offer only so much domestic science as may be included in the two-year courses and not to exceed a college major of 36 quarter hours, That teachers colleges offer not continue the teaching of Spanish and bookkeeping and other associated Practical business courses associated with bookkeeping. That the university discontinue its department of architecture and that instruction be centered at the agri- cultural college. That the teachers colleges discon- tinue the so-called special curricula and be limited on their offerings in art, music, commerce, home eco- nomics, industrial arts and physical education to not more than a college major or 36 quarter hours. Summer School Abandoned The conference called attention to the discontinuance of summer school at the agricultural college and to the abandonment of the preparation of teachers for elementary grades at the university and agricultural college. It also was pointed out reductions in courses already have been made at the teachers colleges, science school, school of forestry and the agri- cultural college, including in the lat- ter the reduction of major depart- ments from nine to four, the normal courses from the school of forestry, science school and the university. The college presidents devoted con- siderable attention to the problem of securing adequately-preparcd teach- ers and adjusting supply and demand in this respect. They took the view tic | that there is not a serious over-supply of adequately-prepared teachers; that the “new deal” requires a new teach- er, and that the old problem of a (Continued on Page Two) ml OEE BIG INCREASE acquired tion, jlar, has f 5 E : Bae e z § & if ENG; itil i nll rele i : i i i IN GOLD IMPORTS Well Over $600,000,000 Brought to Nation Since Devaluation Move brought well over $60,000,000 in monetary to the United States. ‘The amount of metal im H E INSTATE' SYSTEM TALIANKACS HAnRnKA {more than two languages in addition That the agricultural college dis- the Named New U.S. Envoy to Austria George S.
