The Purpose of the School of Education.—In the rapid development of
educational science and the resulting attention given to the improvement of
the several phases of public education, it is important that all who are interested
in the growth of this great agency of democracy, generally or professionally,
be given ample opportunity to study its underlying principles, organization
and most practical applications. Those who aim to teach or to administer public-school
affairs require instruction and training in the scientific principles and in
the technique of their calling. The study of the principles, ways and means of
formal education is incumbent on all citizens who earnestly seek an intelligent
and conscientious balloting on public-school affairs. For these reasons the
courses in the School of Education aim to supply the needs of the two classes
of citizens referred to.
Besides those courses which, as contributing toward a liberal education,
may be advantageously included in programs of study leading to the cultural
academic degrees (see pages 143-144), the School of Education offers a wide
range of courses for the professional training of teachers and public school
administrators. One curriculum is offered leading to the degree of B.S. in Education
(see page 145), and one curriculum leading to a teacher's certificate only.
1. Students receiving the B.S. in Education will receive the Professional
Collegiate Certificate issued by the Department of Public Instruction of Virginia.
2. A student who cannot complete the requirements for the B.S. in Education,
or who must delay the completion of them, may elect the following two-year
course which leads to a Teacher's Certificate issued by the Department of
Public Instruction of Virginia. This work may later be credited toward the
B.S. in Education. The course, comprising 30 session-hours, embraces the following
requirements:
(a) From the School of Education: Education B2, B3, B6, and B7 or
B8. Total: 12 session-hours.
(b) From the other Academic Schools: One modern language course
from Group I and one course each from Groups II, III, IV and V. Total:
18 session-hours.
Courses for Teachers in Service.—Saturday courses in any subject offered
in the School of Education will be arranged for teachers in service, if
requested by at least five teachers. Degree credit will be allowed on the same
basis as in regular courses, provided that not more than one and one-half
session-hours of credit shall be given for the work in any course for one year.
Recommendation of Teachers.—The recommendation of teachers is in
charge of the Bureau of Appointments, through which positions are secured,
not only for students in the School of Education, but for other students who
are known to be fitted to fill vacancies reported. In response to requests from
the proper authorities, teachers are recommended for positions as instructors
in colleges and normal schools, as superintendents, as supervisors in special
of elementary schools. The demand for teachers has been greater than the
supply. Correspondence in regard to this matter may be addressed to the
Bureau of Appointments, University, Virginia.

Latin D: Latin C1 or C2 prerequisite.—A three-year course for those who
desire to specialize in classical philology, especially those who choose Latin as
their major for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. If the candidate's major
be Latin, a respectable familiarity with Greek is required. If the candidate's
major be Romanic, the technical Greek requirement is waived as far as practically
possible, and he is guided into the history of the Roman popular vernacular
and into an acquaintance with the authors illustrating the Vulgar Latin
in literature.
For the sake of first-hand access to important modern authorities in Latin
philology, the candidate is required to have a good reading knowledge of German
and French.
It is the aim of this course to prepare the candidate to investigate independently
the sources of our knowledge of the language, monuments (literary
and objective), and life of the Romans. The following is, therefore, an outline
of the course: I. In Language: Elements of comparative grammar; introduction
to Latin historical grammar; systematic grammar; reading of epigraphic
and literary monuments illustrating the history of the Latin Language. II. In
the Literary and Objective Monuments of the Romans: Reading of authors in
groups systematically planned to illustrate the literary life of the Romans;
history and interpretation of texts; elements of palaeography, epigraphy, numismatics,
topography and remains. III. In Roman Life: Constructive study of
Roman culture-history; reading of authors illustrating the development of
Roman civilization; study of modern authorities in Roman culture-history.—
