The Daily Bulletin VOL. VIII. COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS, SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1925. NO. 148. 10 QUALIFIED TO TEAGH NEXT YEAR School of Vocational Teaching Finish- es Seniors with Teaching Methods. The graduating class of this sprng of the A. & M. College of Texas will credit the institution very strong- ly as a teacher-training agency for public schools. A total of 59 out of its 225 graduates will have certifi- cates to teach agriculture, the trades, general science subjects and to coach athletics in high schools. In addition 16 men who will complete the fresh- man course will be eligible for cer- tificates as elementary teachers, mak- ing a total of 75 men which the Col- lege will supply to school boards as teachers next session. This is by far the largest class of teachers ever turned out by the institution, The nearest to this year’s number was the class of last year which was less than 50. This is the first year uvh. elementary certificates have been granted, the introduction of a coursc in educational methods to enable freshmen to meet the requirements of the state department for a teach er’s certificate in the elemertary grades was made for the first timc last fall. Other higher educational institutions have been giving the edu- ‘cation work and fitting its first year students to teach for many years, bu the A. & M. College only preparec teachers from its four year graduates. Of the 59 graduates in this year’s class who will receive high school certificates, 25 will be invocational ag- riculture, 22 in industrial education and 12 in general education. It is expected that the majority of these will accept positions as teachers. The vocatioral agriculture students, es- pecially, will be attracted to the teach- ing profession by the very effective demand for teachers of this kind made by the rural high schools and the smaller rural schools which are in- troducing the work in vocational ag- riculture under the Smith-Hughes law. With the addition of those. men A. & M. will have about 120 teachers (Continued on page 4) Modernism Subject of Men’s Class Tomorrow Modernism, the much discussed sub- ject of this day and time, will be the topic for discussion before the Men’s Bible Class tomorrow morning at 9:45 in the conference room of the Experiment Station building.

BASEBALL AND DRILL WILL ADD T0 DANCES Mess Hall Being Decorated as Beau- tiful Setting for Ross VYol- unteer Festivities. Athletics and fancy military drills will give variety to the three big dances that are the chief events of the Ross Volunteer festivities that will be celebrated the week-end of April 16, 17 and 18. The. celebration will open with a dance on Thursday evening. At 1:30 Friday afternoon the Volunteers will have their banquet and will adjourn in time for the base- ball game between the Aggies and the Rice Owls. The second dance will be given on Friday evening. Satur- day the Volunteers will give the first drill of the year and the period will be ended Saturday evening with the third dance. The company has been drilling regularly for the maneuvers and fancy movements and should be able to display as much ingenious- ness as is typical of the exhibitions of this famous organization. One of the most attractive decora- tions that have ever been placed in the great Mess Hall will make it the beautiful setting of the dances. Al- ready the roof of the high dining room has been lowered by the gsus- pension of a sky blue crepe paper canopy about half the distance from the floor to the ceiling. This week there will be erected along the sides and ends of the interior vine covered trellises which will . form a narrow avenue passing completely around the tloor area, in which. pedestrians and strollers may pass without interfer- ence with the dancers, and giving the effect of an arcade surroundirg a courtyard with its arched openings on to the main floor. There will be ma- ny other beautiful supplementary fea- tures of the decorations. The Queen’s Ball on Thursday even- ing will formally begin the festivities. At this dance the coronation of the King and Queen of the celebration will be held. The official uriform for the dance will be number one, for the R., V.’s as well as other cadets.
