June 19, with a reception to incoming students and a lecture by the president of the college, Miss Edna Dean Baker. Representatives from twenty-six states responded to roll-call, including young women from Texas, Tennessee, Massa- chusetts, Virginia, California and New Mexico. President Baker spoke on "The Ob- jectives for Teacher Training" at the College. "The ability to place the edu- cation of children on a scientific basis is a first essential" said Miss Baker. Progress in school is measured each year by a more scientific yardstick as standardized tests become the tool of every teacher. Such measurement does not disturb the spontaneity and self-ex- pression of the child. If the time comes when we can compute the growth in purpose as accurately as we now weigh a pound of butter we shall not have less but more purposeful children. The ability to maintain health for themselves as teachers and for the chil- dren in their care is no less essential in Miss Baker's estimation. Another objective which challenges today, she said, is the ability to guide the moral and social development of children so that right habits and atti- tudes are formed in these early years. "In this age of the aeroplane, the radio and the automobile," said President Bak- er, "it is increasingly difficult to keep God 'and the great moral principles of our American fathers in the child's world. On every side are signs of moral decay and social mal-adjustment. Our schools need supremely teachers who are alert to the situation and who with un- erring skill meet the subtle inner foe that perils our civilization."
