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 pp. 156-157), 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 p. 158), 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
as instructors in colleges and normal schools, as superintendents, as supervisors
in special subjects, as principals or department teachers in high
schools, and as principals 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.
For Undergraduates and Graduates.

Latin D1: Latin C1 or C2 prerequisite.—This course extends through
three years and is intended for those who desire to specialize for one, two or
three years in classical philology. It contemplates especially the needs of 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,
since the language, literature, and life of the Romans are saturated with Greek
influence. 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, the common source of the Romanic tongues, 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:
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.—Friday,
Saturday, 12-2. Cabell Hall. Professor Fitz-Hugh.

The Rouss Physical Laboratory is a commodious building, characterized
throughout by structural stability. The rooms are abundantly lighted, while
some may be darkened for optical experiments. There is a general distribution
of water and all the rooms are supplied with gas and electricity. The
equipment includes an exceptionally complete collection of demonstration
apparatus, and a good stock of apparatus for elementary laboratory instruction.
In addition to this there is a special line of electrical and optical instruments,
a 21½-foot concave grating with Rowland mounting, photographic
dark room, liquid air plant and storage battery, and an instrument
shop for the repair and construction of physical instruments. For advanced
work in some lines the facilities offered are excellent.
