At Cedarville College DUAL CURRICULUM FOR j TEACHERS INTRODUCED AT CEDARVILLE 1 With the acute shortage of teachers in Ohio elementary and secondary schools becoming more serious each year, Cedarville Col­ lege has introduced a new course o f study, known as ‘The Dual Curriculum fo r Elementary-Sec­ ondary Education’ which is in­ tended to help alleviate the crit­ ical situation in teacher supply. Cedarville College is one o f the versities which has been approv- very few Ohio colleges and uni- ed by the State Department to offer the new dual curriculum. Although the more serious shortage is in the elementary field the larger percentage of students desire to enter the field o f sec­ ondary teaching. Such emergency measures as cadet certificates and temporary certification have been only temporary aids in solv­ ing the problem. 1'he now erron­ eous belief that elementary teach­ ers receive lower salaries still persists. This and other factors lead the majority o f freshman entering teacher training instit­ utions to choose the secondary teaching field. The new dual curriculum will still permit the student to teach in secondary schools, but will al­ so train him ter Qualify ds an el­ ementary teacher as well. In short, he will be prepared to teach elementary grades, or high school grades, or both. Training in both fields will be valuable to him in securing bettor positions. Ey completing the require­ ments of the dual plan, and by careful choice o f elective courses the student can finish the dual curriculum in four years and Will be granted the degreeof Bach­ elor o f science in Education by the college. The State Depart­ ment of Education will grant him a provisional elementary secondary certificate. In addit­ ion to the minimum of profess­ ional education courses, he must secure at least a teaching minor in two high school fields. The new course will become available to all freshmen en­ rolling for the second semester January 28,1949. High school graduates o f 1949 will find this course open to them at the rum­ mer session beginning June 13, 1940. Pres. Ira D.

The score was almost doubled by our boys at the half, and the Catawba boys were helpless under the barrage of points.

Don Ches- nut led the scoring fo r our boys, making thirteen points. . . , JUNIORS PRESENT COMEDY The Junior Play, 'We Shook The Family Tree’, was well re­ ceived by an appreciative aud- ienceat the opera house on Tues­ day evening. Members of the cast spent sev­ eral weeks in preparation o f the play. Now all ofthem agree they will miss play practice, which was accompanied by many good times, such as the regular ‘scav­ enger hunt’ . This hunt took place at the end of each evening, when individuals would gather up any articled l/ilonghtg tp other people, which had myster­ iously disappeared during prac­ tice, and bring them back to the center of the stage, where each could claim his own. A fter practice you would usually find all the gang going somewhere to eat. You probably have heard o f a coke or a milk­ shake with two straws, but the gang felt unusually bright one evening and ordered one bana sDlit with five spoons. Dress rehearsal found us as gay as ever Monday night. The cast were all interested in see­ ing each others clothes fo r the different acts, and the beautiful Mrs,JohnCooper DiesMonday At Jamestown Mrs. Jane Weddle Cooper, 81* died suddenly Monday at 8:15 a. m. at her home in Jamestown.

FinalDatesfor PriceSupports Announced Many farmers today remem­ ber the severe decline which they experienced in 1920-21 fol­ lowing World War 1 when in less than a year farm prices dropped more than fifty per cent. Also, consumers will recall that prices they paid did not reflect the fifty percent drop and everyone will recall the final result in 1932. The above comment was made by Joseph B. Mason, chairman of the Greene county agricultural Mason also stated the chief cause of a depression is lack of purchasing power by farmers. A ll o f the foregoing leads to the fact that the final date for price supports through loan and pur­ chase agreements on many 1948 crops expire this month. The support prices, which ex­ pire Dec. 31 for Greene County are as follows: wheat-$2.14 per bu.; oats- §9,74 per by.; Barley- 81.23 per bu.; Rye §1.33 per bu.; soybeans-$2.18 per bu. The sup­ port on soybeans is the same in all counties. The final date for potato loans is Dec. 15. Mr. Mason suggests that any farmer wishing to use these sup­ ports contact liis office as soon as possible. He also wishes to advise consumers the foregoing prices are SO per cent o f the price that farmers should receive to be on a par with what he would pay fo r machinery, ferti­ lizer, gas, oil and other commod­ ities he must purchase.
