SKETCH

DOCTOR WILLIAM S. TAYLOR
Dean of the College of Education
Doctor William S. Taylor, Dean of the College of Education, was born
at Beaver Dam, Kentucky, January 20, 1885. He received his early education
in the rural schools of Ohio County later attending the high school at Hartford, Kentucky. He was graduated from the Western Normal School and
Tenchers College at Bowling Green in 1910 and from the University of
Kentucky, in 1912. He was granted the Master's degree from the University
of Wisconsin in 1913 and the Doctorate from Columbia University in 1924.
He was president of the senior class at the Western Normal School and
Teachers College; was associate editor of the Kcntuckian, and an honor graduate of the University1 of Kentucky; he was holder of a fellowship at Wisconsin and a research scholarship at Columbia University.
In his professional career Doctor Taylor taught for five years in the
one-roorural schools and in the high schools of Kentucky; from 1913 to
1917 he was professor of education and high school visitor, University of
Texas; from 1918 to 1920 he was head of the Department of Rural Life,
The Pennsylvania State College.
While serving in this position he was
loaned by the College to the' Federal Board for Vocational Education for a
year and had charge of the vocational work in agriculture in' California,
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Arizona. From 1920 to 1923
he associated with the Department of Public Instruction in Pennsylvania
in charge of the training and certification of high school teachers. He came
to the University of Kentucky in 1923 as Dean of the newly created College
of Education. The growth of the College under his leadership is evidence
of the wisdom of the board of trustees in selecting him for this responsibility. cipals

The High School of the University of Kentucky was formally opened
in September 1919, as a secondary school offering four years of work. Before this time, the high school hnd been under the pnrtinl control of the
Lexington city school system and had been operated as a junior high school.
The teachers were furnished by the city and the building and equipment
by the university. This arrnngement wns discontinued in 1919 nnd the high
school made n pnrt of the Department of Education.
The University High school is located in the education building upon the
campus of the university. The classrooms, laboratories, and library are
equipped with high grade modern furniture and instructional auxiliaries.
The school is equipped with steel lockers for the use of the pupils and

teachers.
The University High school serves two distinct purposes: (1) It aims to
make itself a useful and effective factor in the whole education of young
people, and (2) It serves as a laboratory and demonstration school for the
College of Education.
The most improved and refined methods of classroom instruction and
supervision in all subjects are demonstrated in the school. The teachers
are men and women of excellent training and known ability and skill in
teaching. The fact that the school is used as a laboratory and demonstration school for the training of teachers gives the pupils the advantages of
superior instruction. The University High school is a four year high school.
No student will be admitted without personal interview with the principal
and satisfactory evidences of good moral character. The conditions of admission are as follows:
(1) Pupils who have completed the work of the eighth grade of a city
'
school systems of recognized standards;
(2) Pupils who have completed the eighth grade of the county rural
schools and have passed successfully the state examinations;
(3) Pupils who have completed the eighth grade of private elementary
schools upon certificate of the principal of that school;
(4) Pupils from other secondary schodls may be admitted to advanced
standing upon presentation of a letter of honorable dismissal and statement
of work previously done.
'
The, school is approved by the State Department of Education as a legal
school. It is accredited by the Association of Kentucky Colleges and classified as a "A" school. The school is a member of the Southern Association
of Colleges and Secondary schools. This, membership gives the graduates
of this school admission to all Southern Colleges. The Southern association
has reciprocity relations with the Northern Central Association of Colleges
nnd Secondary Schools which fact admits graduates of secondary schools of
the Southern Association to the Colleges of the North Central Association.
The cooperation and helpful interest of the
s'
association
contributes to the success of the school's social program and serves to bring
into close relationship the parents of the pupils and the teachers. Meetings
oi the association are held once a month during the school year.

There is a constantly growing demand for the services of the grnduatcs
of the University of Kentucky. The institiution receives more requests for
teachers than it has applicants for positions. Eevery attempt is made to
procure for those enrolled in the placement service the type of employment
which will enable each one to achieve the best results. The placement service
is operated under the direction of Professor M. E. Ligon and no fee is charged
for its services.
OPERATION
Students desiring teaching positions register in the bureau by filling
out an application blank of two parts. 'The first three pages the student
fills out himself, giving detailed information regarding his natural qualifications, experience, preferences etc. The fourth page is a composite record of
his scholastic standing from the college authorities. Each student is privately interviewed that a personal contact may be made and a better knowledge of his appearance, bearing, and attitude may be obtained.
The names and qualifications of these prospective teachers compiled from
the application blanks are issued in bulletin form twice a year by the placement bureau, copies being sent to those desiring the services of teachers.
Upon request from school boards or other interested, the personal application blank with detailed information concerning the candidate is furnished
to those desiring it. Interviews are arranged between teachers and prospective employers and every effort is made to find the right person for each
position.
During the meeting of the Kentucky Education Association the Placement Service maintains an office at university headquarters so that the
school people attending the meeting may have an opportunity to meet the
students registered and examine the records of those registered.
Since July 1, 1924, the work has been conducted as follows:

The' survey of public education in Kentucky published in 1921 recommended the organization of a college of education at the University of Kentucky as a part of the State's equipment for the professional education of
teachers and school administrators. The Board of Trustees, acting upon
this recommendation, authorized the fifth, college of the University and
named it the College of Education. This organization is in conformity with
modern tendencies in universities, many of which have built up large colleges
for the training of teachers, supervisors and school administrators.
Modern conceptions of education demand that those who teach and administer the public school system be professionally trained. The College of
Education was established to provide for the training of teachers, supervisors,
elementary and high school principals and city and county superintendents
for the public schools of Kentucky. School boards are demanding professionally trained teachers, supervisors and administrators. The curricula offered by the College have been planned to enable the student to procure the
education that will best prepare him for the work he contemplate doing.
The new college was officially opened in September 1923, lts growth

The enrollment in this college in September 1923 was 67 students; in Sep- tember 1924 t was 134 students; and in September 1925 it was 212 students,
an increase of more than 200 per cent in two years.
The college was an outgrowth of the Department of Education in the Col-TArt,s. an5i Sciences, a department that had been' built' up under the

It is conservative to estimate these salaries at $1,200.00 each. This
means in dollars and cents that we have sold at least $162,000.00 worth of
teachers. On a basis charged by Teachers' Agencies of 5 per cent of the
annual salary the placement service has saved our students $9,600.00
