That morning, all who were doing the Teacher's Training course and degree course were interviewed by the Professor of Education and by the professors in the Science Faculty. I took chemistry, physics, botany and geology. All four subjects involved a great deal of laboratory work. Saturday morning was taken up with the Education course, which included music, art, elocution and physical training. During the week there were lectures at various hours on the history of education, the theory and practise of teaching, and logic, ethics and psychology.
Practicals were every afternoon from two to five. When two o'clock came, I often remained in the Common Room, neglecting to go to the practical classes.
