Future Teachers of America Prospective teachers make up a large portion of our student body. The John R. Matt Chapter of the F. T. A., a junior affiliate of the National Educational Association, a professional organization for teachers, was organized on our campus to acquaint the prospective teachers with those basic and funda mental problems in the field of education. Various types of programs-films, special speakers, reports, and panel discussions-all add to the interesting meetings which are held one Tuesday night each month. Through this variety of effective programs greater appreciation for the teaching vo cation is created within the students. They become acquainted with the history, ethics, and practical experience of teaching, which adapts them to the professional field and to the com munity. F. T� A. affords the opportunity for teacher training and fellowship among those students of education on our campus.
