Sociology students are regularly taken on inspection tours to state or local institutions so that they could have practical training as well. The Education Department has developed extensive work in observation and practice teaching, as part of its teacher-training program. The cost to the student of instruction on a laboratory basis will be comparable to the cost of a similar period of instruction on the campus, with the exception of travel expenses. The Department of Chemistry of the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, is giving a placement examination to the students registered for first-year chemistry who matriculated with one entrance unit of high school chemistry or its equivalent. This proficiency examination was confined exclusively to the textual material covered in the first quarter of Chemistry 411.
