SIMMONS COLLEGE CATALOGUE
SIMMONS IS NOW RECOGNIZED BY THE DEPARTMENT
OF EDUCATION AT AUSTIN AS A COLLEGE OF
THE FIRST CLASS. The work in education has been arranged
so as to meet the requirements of the new law with
reference to the issuance of first grade state certificates to
teachers. This recognition means that our A. B. graduates
who have completed two courses in pedagogy, or three hours
per week for thirty-six weeks, will be issued a first grade
four-year State Certificate. After they have taught for three
years successfully in the public schools of Texas, they will
then be issued Permanent Certificates by the Department of
Education. It means also that those who have completed
our Academy work, and our full Freshman work, if they
elect the professional courses during the Freshman year,
may receive from the Department of Education first grade
four year certificates without examination.
Young men and young women who contemplate teacit
ing may, therefore, find in Simmons College opportunities
for preparing themselves adequately for their professions
while they are pursuing their regular college courses. yWe
believe that many young men and young women will take
advantage of this standing accorded Simmons College and
thus prepare themselves for their life's work under the
splendid faculty that Simmons offers.
The year has been divided into three terms, and the
courses will be offered in such a way as to enable teachers
to enter either of the terms and thus receive credit for the
work done.
The President invites correspondence with those who
are especially interested in the courses in this department.
Philosophy A-General Psychology. This is a course in gemn
eral Psychology. The course is required of all students
in education and is a prerequisite to all vther
courses offered in Education and Philosophy. It31
