New courses given last year for the first time included Child Guidance, Problems of Child Development, Men- tal Hygiene, Psychology of the Ele- mentary School Subject, Measurement of School Room Procedure and Educa- tional Materials. Miss Baker told of the organization of a Department of Parental Educa- tion in response to the growing recog- nition of the need for courses of this type both for the parents and for the teachers. An enthusiastic response to the inauguration of the department was given by north shore mothers, 76 registering for the two courses offered last year. These were given by special- ists in the college, supplemented by lectures from outside authorities on various subjects. Many of the moth- ers took advantage of the opportun- ities offered by the child study clinic for the diagnosis and suggested treat- ment of difficult problems in behavior presented by invidual children. One hundred and sixty-seven were enrolled in the children's school, an important phase of the work of the college which gives the students an opportunity of seeing theories in child training put into actual practice and at the same time gives a large group of north shore children the advantage of the finest type of modern educa- tion. Elective afternoon courses in French, folk dancing, art, nature study and physical education were introduced and proved extremely popular. 50 Enroll in Nursery School Fifty children were enrolled last year in the Mary Crane Nursery school, Hull house, which is conducted by the college. A moving picture of the day's activities at Mary Crane has been used by groups of educators in various parts of the country in illus- trating the work and program of the nursery school. An interesting report of the work of the Mary Crane auxil- jary was given by Mrs. George M. Groves, president of the organization. In conclusion Miss Baker emphasized the need for the completion of the third floor of Harrison hall during the present year in order to accommodate the inevitable growth of the college and the children's school. "With the enrichment of the third and fourth year courses, need for the right housing of these departments is urgent," said Miss Baker. "That the college has fully deserved the support its alumnae and friends have so splendidly given it during the past fire years is amply proved by the record of this one year's growth and achieve- ment, but the college stands upon a history of vision and service in the field of childhood education covering forty-three years. Harrison hall is a monument commemorating that serv- ice, as well as the present home of a vigorous institution with a youthful spirit. It should be a matter of great pride to the alumnae and friends to complete Harrison hall and make it a perfect monument in beauty and serviceableness." Jens Jensen, the well-known land- scape architect who has planned the college grounds, gave to the meeting a touch of inspiration in his vision for the beauty of the out-of-doors in the school environment which is the birth- right of boys and girls, not only in this school but in every schoo! in our country, and which would make for the development of better manhood and womanhood in the coming genera- tions. aii
