Fredonia Courses 1 Music 2 Drawing Requirements for admission To be admitted to these courses candidates must show the com- pletion of a four-year high school course. Course of study These courses cover a period of two years. The graduates of these courses will receive diplomas which will be licenses to teach the special subject of such course in any public school in the State. Geneseo Courses Teacher-librarian’s course This school gives a special course covering a period of two years for training teachers who are to have general charge of public school libraries. All school libraries should be under the general direction of a trained librarian. The great majority of schools having large libraries do not need the constant services of a librarian. This special course is a combination of the work given in the elemen- tary teacher’s course and of work related to a technical library course. To provide economical administration, school authorities may employ the graduates of this course, allowing them to give part of their time to the care of the library and to teach the re- mainder of the time. It is called a course for teacher-librarians. 32 NEW YORK STATE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Requirements for admission Admission to this course shall be on the completion of an ap- proved minimum high school course which shall also include four years of high school English.
