VOLUME 2 West Georgia College Begins Second Year WEST GEORGIA COLLEGE LABORATORY SCHOOL Through the co-operation of the pub lic school system of Carrollton and the authorities of West Georgia College, a laboratory school has been set up fon the education department of West Georgia College at Maple street school. The college gives the children and teachers the benefit of the supervisor and direct contacts with college teach ers and modern, progressive theories and practices of education; also the col lege library extends faculty privileges to the city teachers. The public school provides a normal, practical situation for observation and practice teaching for second year stu dents and observation for first year students. This quarter, 17 students are doing practice teaching in the seven grades daily and 50 students are observing twice a week. Ih all practice teaching, careful prep aration is made and both the super visor and teacher in charge approve plans before the student-teaehen ap pears before a class of children. The teacher in charge remains in the class room while the student-teachers teach, thereby making it almost impossible for the child to suffer any loss through student-teaching. Conferences be tween student-teacher and regular grade teacher, regular grade teacher and supervisor, student-teaehen and su pervisor are held weekly. The school bus makes four double trips daily to transport college stu dents to and from Maple street, thus preventing any congestion in class rooms. ADDITIONS TO W. G. C.
