OPENING OF NEW SCHOOL MARKS DREAM COME TRUE With the occupancy of the new University School and meeting of the first classes within its vast walls of limestone and glass on September 8, Bloomington residents and educators throughout the state will witness the culmination of a dream first propagated at Indiana University 100 years ago when the problem of "instruction and practice of teachers in the science of education and the art of teaching" was raised by University President Andrew Wylie. First step in the direction of the present structure, dedicated June 12, 1938, was the establishment of a one-teacher model school on the campus in 1852 to "present to the eye of the learner a common school as nearly perfect as possible in its order, arrangement, furniture, classification and methods of teaching." Next improvements were the establishment of practice teaching for high school teachers in 1907 and introduction of student teaching and observation for elementary teachers in 1911. Each room in the four-floor building is provided with individual and automatic heating and ventilating appliances and provisions for well-directed natural ventilation. The school auditorium with capacity for 350 in its well-lighted and paneled interior, has a central ventilating system with an air washer. A gleaming, tile-lined, 60x90 foot gymnasium in which two of six basketball backboards are hoisted out of the line of vision of gallery spectators by electrically-operated lifts is fully equipped with showers and adjacent lockers. In the man rooms student teachers will have the opportunity to observe proper teaching techniques. The school also will serve as a training school for teachers and as a laboratory where experiments can be carried on for improving methods of instruction. Other features of interest in the new school include a clinic and bookstore, a cafeteria, first-floor administration offices, clothing and food laboratories, science laboratories, a kitchen and dining room, an appropriately-decorated kindergarten and primary playrooms and a library with shelf room for 4,000 books. Faculty members' names of whom will be made known in the very near future, have been selected from the University faculty and from colleges and schools throughout the state.Casper O. Dahle, instructor in education, is to be the principal of the University School.
