In a recent address to the (acuity,
President A. K. Drtibachor explained the
way in which Slate College attempts to
carry out ils aim, a professional Irniung education for High School teachers,
'New York Slate Education," in printing (he address, MVS, "ll is (he clearest
statement we ha\c ever seen of (he
peculiar function of a college for high
.iliool teachers. President Dntbachcr
has accomplished the impossible al the
•ilate College—a liberal arts course lead-'
ing fairly and honestly to the customary
bachelor's degree and al the same time
directly and adequately to the high school'
classroom." The President first justified the claim of leaching to the name
of a profession, and then explained Stale
College as a professional college, lie
said:
"The claim that leaching is a profession is based on the proposition that
there is a clearly defined body of knowledge and an accompanying body of special
skills which arc indispensable to the successful practitioner, We have irrevocably turned our backs on the old
belief that anyone who has a knowledge
of the subject mailer can, by that fact
alone, leach that subject matter.
"The State College for Teachers is
dedicated to the professional ideal for
high school teachers. Our college was
organized in its present form for (be
''xorcis purpose of professionalizing high
school leaching to the same extent that
the normal schools have professionalized
leaching in (he elementary schools,
liriefly slated, the Slate College for
Teachers is directed by the Board of
Regents to devote itself to the training
of high school teachers by providing a
liberal education together with a thorough
introduction to the science of education
and a careful training in the art of
leaching. In the effort to fulfill its
obligations under ibis specific mandate
from the Hoard of Regents, State College for Teachers selects its materials
of instruction in all courses, liberal a n i
professional, with a view to their immediate relation to high school teaching.
The ideal of the college is a subject
matter coulcnt that is saturated witli
professional purpose. It will clarify our
ideal and intensify our professional purpose to formulate the procedure by
which we strive to attain our ends, a
procedure that demands continual adjustment in the light of experience.
" The liberal arts content of our curriculum must be adequate as a basis for
high school teaching and must perform
its full part in giving the liberal education prescribed by the Regents resolution
of authorization. It is obvious that the
subject matter of the high school curriculum will in part point the way.

Former Dean Recently Visited
Scenes Of Lincoln's Years
As Lawyer
LIFE HAD
FOUR
EPOCHS
Dr. Harlan II. Horner, former dean,
addressed b'Qtll sections of the assembly,
Friday, Dr. Horner's subject was "The
Growing Faith of Abraham Lincoln,
He divided Lincoln's life into periods,
as follows: The wonder of the child;
(he metal of the youth; the mind of the
man; the sold of the president, On each
of these periods, he elaborated, likening
the life of our ideal American to the
gradual ripening of a harvest. "The
wonder of the child, when a tot at his
mother's knee was taught and guided into
the paths of faith by her wisdom and
his feet firmly fixed on the right road.
The child was made a man when the
hand of death struck down her who had
been everything to him, and the first great
sorrow, in the life of sorrow which
followed, he witnessed at the grave of
bis mother."
The metal of the youth was proven
by bis upward struggle against fate, his
self-education, and the triumph over the
greatest sorrow of his life, the death of
Anne Rtltlcdgc, The faces of '29 beamed
joyously when Dr. Horner completed his
sketch of the youth by saying that from
the descriptions handed down to us by
foregoing generations, be was sure,
Lincoln, the ideal American, looked very
much like a freshman.
Dr. Horner said of his manhood,
"Although Lincoln was not a church
member, he was a firm believer in the
right, The sublime faith of the president
wajs shown in that he more often c
suited Cod, than his cabinet, in the trying
times through which (he Great Captain
piloted our Ship of State,, that Lincoln
was. a miniature Christ, a chosen earthly
messenger who lived in close companionship with God, and thai God and Lincoln
saved our nation in its greatest crisis
when destruction seemed inevitable."
Dr. Horner did not apologize for linking
the name of the Deity with that of Lincoln, because of the great faith of the
man (hat enabled him to be led by the
hand of God and to sec the right, to
gain strength to carry on.
Dr. Horner has recently visited several
places in Illinois, that figured importantly
in Lincoln's life and career. He had
lately stood on the spot where Lincoln
dismounted from his borrowed horse
with his license to practice law under
his arm and all his worldly possessions
in his saddlebags. He also visited the
place where Lincoln made bis farewell
speech, at his departure for Congress,
upon his election to the Senate. Dr.
Horner said, "Just twenty-eight years
later the whole country was plunged into
its greatest mourning when Lincoln was
slain by the hand of the assassin. During liis life such enemies as Seward,
Chase and Douglas showed their greatest
devotion and respect to the man who
pnwed himself 'A Man for the Ages.' "
Ethel DuBois led the assembly in a
cheer for Dr. Horner. Myskania attended both chapel sessions in honor of
Dr. Horner, and the first section sang
the College song comprised in his honor.
