He presented the following resolution to be later

"The Board of Presidents of the State Teachers

Board.
After considerable discussion, Doctor Haas stated
that with the hundreds of blanks to be considered it would
be difficult to reach a decision on any fom by the method
of general discussion.
As the EHtter nov/ stands, the Connittee had already been at work for one year- with apparently
little accorriplished.
He asked pemission to have each President subirat
in writing to the person having charge of preparing a
particular blank his criticisms and suggestions so that
these prolonged discussions would not corae up at the Board
neetings.
It was the general opinion of the Board that the
Committee should act on this assumption.
3.
Uniform plan of organizatio n and By-laws
for the State Teachers C ollege s
Doctor Haas, Chairman of the Coi^-dttee, reported
for the conmiittee.
He stated that it was the desire of the State
Superintendent that a set of By-laws, mininun in quantity
and uniform in quality, be adopted by the Board of Presidents
and Association of Trustees of Pennsylvania if possible.
At this point Doctor Haas distributed a copy of
"Revision of Suggested Topics to be Covered by By-laws, Rules
and Regulations" as drafted by the Conimittee.
Each President was requested to studj' the suggestions.
Within a given tine, the Committee should be advised of suggested
revisions.
In due tine the Coriraittee will be authorized to
revamp the iTBtter and then present it to the Trustees for
reaction.
On motion of Doctor Haas seconded by Doctor Lehman it
was voted to accept the report as submitted for study.

Doctor Haas stated that he would send sufficient
copies to all the Presidents for distribution to the nenbers

Colle_ge_s_
Doctor Haas, Chairiian of the Corxiittee, reported for
the coinnittee.
He stated that Doctor Keith had appointed the
Coiniuittee consisting of Doctor Steele, Doctor Caineron, and
hinself
The Coiiiiaittee felt that the best procedure was to
begin with those institutions that were related to the State,
The Pennsylvania State College, University of Pennsylvania,
Tenple University, and the Universitjr of Pittsburgh.
.
Doctor Haas stated that he had directed a letter to
the Deans of Education of these institutions relative to a
mutual agreement on the qiiestion of evaluating credits or
granting advanced standing to the graduates of the State
Teachers Colleges. At the sa^e time he enclosed a copy of the
agreement which had been set up ?/ith The Pennsj^lvania State
College for their information, and with the thoight in mind
that it might supply the basis for a conference or agreement
with this particular school. Doctor Steele wouid talce the
natter up with the Dean of the School of Education of the
University of Pittsburgh, end Doctor Cai.:eron with Temple
University, and Doctor Haas vdth the University of Pennsylvania.
In reply to the letter addressed to the University of
Pennsylvania, Doctor Haas had received a letter stating the
School of Education was looking to?;ard the establishm^ent of a
curriculum leading to the degree of ilaster of Education.
The
School of Education will establish such curricula as will enable
graduates of the State Teachers Colleges to proceed to that
degtee in the University'- of Pennsylvania without undue hardship
or loss of time. Doctor Haas felt that a satisfactory situation
could be worked out in due time \7ith the officials of the
University of Pennsylvania.
Doctor Caiieron stated that he did not have a conference
with Doctor George E. V/alk, Dean of the School of Education of
Ter.ple University, but he had some correspondence with him and he
felt that Dean Walk was in complete accofd with the <4Lole project
and there was no desire on their part to vrork a hardship on any of
the graduates of the State Teachers Colleges x/ho ^plied to
raatriculate far graduate vrork.
-504-
.
Doctor Steele stated that he had been in touch
the University of Pittsbui-gh, but that he was not
able to see Dean Aldenmn . He had a diort conference with
the Chancellor and he'stated that -they would be very glad
to v;ork out a definite plan so as to include substantially
the fine points of the agreement
v;ith
The Chancellor stated that the only point with
which they had difficulty in evaluating credits of the
State Teachers Colleges v/as in evaluating credits of
graduates of the old normal school curricula, that is
before the new scheme of evaluating went into effect. He
felt that if the services of the "Committee On The Evaluation of Non-standard Credentials" were available for their
use, it would be of great help to them.
Mr. Klonower suggested that #i6n a graduate of any
of the State Teachers Colleges v/as admitted to an institution
for graduate ivork in education, it vrould be helpful if the
DepartnBnt were notified of the name of the student and also
the institution which he is entering.
Doctor Rule stated that he felt the Committee should
continue its negotiations and that the item should remain on
the docket for all subsequent nBetings until such time as soms
definite decision on the plan is reached.
Doctor Haas stated that the Com:aittee would continue
its study and report at subsequent meetings of the Board.

Tentative Comparative Enrollments i_n State Teachers
Colleges as of September 1929 and September 1930 Exhibit E
The Director of the Teacher Bureau, Mr. Klonower,
distributed charts indicat ing t he tentative enrollments for
this school year as compared with that of last year.
Doctor Straughn stated that in studying the enrollments something should be said relative to the requirement of
students paying eighteen weeks in advance. This he felt had
something to do with the decrease in enrollments. He stated
that they had lost sixty students because of this requirement.
These students could have paid nine V7eeks in advance but not
the eighteen ?/eeks fee in advance.
Doctor Crawford stated that they had twenty applicants vdio v/ere not yet seventeen years of age; out of this
twenty, three paid the special tuition and the remaining
seventeen dropped out.
Doctor Rule stated that there was a special committee
of the State Council of Education collaborating with the Depart-
ment v/hich is fostering new legislation for the coming session
of Legislature and this natter of the "seventeen year requirement" and the fee connected with it would be brought up.
•506-
Doctor Haas stated that if an atteropt is made to
analyze the decrease in enr-ollmsnts, there are various factors
For example, the follaving

are some of the things that figure in:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
The raising of standards.
The general industilal situation.
The tendency of School Boards to double up
classes instead of taking on new teachers
in order to keep dovin expenses.
The fact that the institutions do not
develop courses outside of the strict
prescriptions of the courses of study.
The failure to offer an extension program.
The psychological effect of the general
statement and general impression that
there is an over-supply of teachers at
the present time.
On motion of Doctor Steele seconded by Doctor Eiemer
it was voted that the Fees Committee be requested to take up
with Doctor Keith those items that have to do with prepayment
and repayment.
Doctor Rule suggested that the Board consider a
recommendation concerning the eighteen weeks prepayment to
the effect that the time be reduced to nine weeks in advance;
and secondly, that a small committee be appointed to study
and analyze some of the factors affecting decrease in enrollments with a vie\7 of having a report for the November or
January meeting of the Board.
On motion of Doctor Tanger seconded by Doctor Riemer
it v/as voted that the Teacher Bureau be requested to prepare a
study and analyze some of the factors affecting decrease in
enrollments in the several State Teachers Colleges and have the
report ready for the November or Janiiary nseting of the Board.

Report of committee on "Standardization of
Printing Supplies for the State Teachers
Colleges"
-512-
—
Doctor Haas, Chairman of the Coramittee,
reported for the ooramittee:
"For approximately a year your Committee has
been endeavoring (a) to arrive at a satisfactory policy regarding the published
material vtiich should be uniform throughout
these institutions and (b) an organization
of the \irork which would be reasonably
satisfactory in producii^ the desirable
results.
The work of the Coramittee so far
leads the Committee to the following conclusions:
(1) In general the professional work of
these institutions and their ability to
contribute to pio:fessi onal advancement
in teacher training mill not be served by
inviting the uniformity usually reflected
by a general standardization of printed
material such as catalogs, bulletins,
papers, forms, etc. Professional progress
will be better served by permitting variety
and by inviting a free interchange among the
institutions of printed material.
(2) That the Board should decide specifically
from time to tinB those publications viiich
should be standardized.
(3) That it is reasonable to assume that
since the entrance requirements must be
uniform that the f onus used for this
purpose should be uniform.
(4) Therefore the Board should make a
specific recorarrendation to the Superintendent
of Public Instruction covering the forms to
be used for this purpose.
(5) The Committee submits to the Board for
consideration therefore, the forms prepared
by the Committee under the direction of
Dr. Ezra Lehman.
-513-
The Cominittee recoraraends therefore
the adoption of liie forms prepared
by the Committee under the direction of
Dr. Lehman, (b) that publications of the
various institutions be freely interchanged as they are issued, and (c)
that the Committee for the present be
discharged."

He briefly fetched the history of this project
and recalled for the benefit of the members of the
Board the ideas and instructions of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction in this respect.
Dr. Haas further stated that a copy of these

He stated in part as follows:
"Please be advised that your Committee has
been in coi-Dsnunicati on v.'ith the University of
Pittsburgh, the University of Pennsylvania,
and Temple University relative to the question
of the status of the credentials of State
Teachers College graduates in these instituIn general the present situation is to
tions
the effect that these institutions express a
syrapathetic attitude in the natter of
evaluating the credentials of our graduates
but these institutions apparently are not
prepared as yet to develop a flat evaluation
similar to that worked out rath State College.
.
The Committee believes that this situation
should now be handled in exactly the same way
that proved so successful with State College
and that the same personnel be appointed to
heaidle this matter, and t hat this corirdttee
be discharged.

Doctor Haas stated that this means the Chairman of tte
Curricular Revision Committee, the Secretary of the State
Council of Education, and the Director of the Teacher Bui'eau
carry out the same provisions as before in handling this
natter.
-520-
Doctor Foster stated that he felt and he believed
some of the other nienbors of the Board folt the same
way, that viienever an invited gijest is asked to the
meeting of the Board, he should be asked for a specific
time so that his time night be conserved.
Doctor riule stated that this would be done in the
future and that the docket would be so arranged in
order that the curriculura probleias could be grouped
and discussed in the presence of the person v;ho is
invited to participate in the discussion. He felt
that probably an hour or tTro just before the luncheon
period would be the best t ii.Te to have .such discussioris

was the wish of the Superintendent of Public

preliininary study and that a continuing stu(^ would
be Eiade with reference to the placeraent of gradioates
of the State Teachers Colleges.

special fee for the Hone Econo:jics curri culxiri should
not be reduced. He felt that this special fee T/as too
high.
DoctDr Rule suggested that Dr. Straughn, Dr.
Foster, and Dr. Hill be considered a committee to look
into this matter of special fees and report back to
the Board at the next meeting if agreeable to the Board.

Report of co.r.ittee on
" New
Legislation "
Doctor Haas, ChairT.ian of the C 0:1 .lit tee,
reported for the c omit tee.
Doctor Haas explained that a copy of the
Legislative proposals had been sent in advance to
every member of the Board for their consideration.
Doctor Haas said in part:
"The following letter under date of October
30, 1930 to Dr. LeRoy A. King, Chairman of
the Special Legislative Committee of the
State Council of Education, covers the
report of the Legislative Committee of your
Board. This reporl? is submitted for your
action.
The Committee: T. T. Allen
C.
R.
F. B.
Foster
Haas, Chairman
Dr. LeRoy A. King, Chairman
Special Legislative Committee
State Council of Education
The Legislative Committee of the Board of
Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges
desires to submit respectfully for the
consideration of your Committee the following
statement, li^ich represents so far as the
Committee has been able to determine, some
situations which are deserving of consideration
at the next meeting of *;he Legislature.
You
will understand that the Committee was appointed
in accordance 7;ith a resolution of the Board of
Presidents, and must therefore at its next
meeting report back to the Board.
-523-
However, as Chgd naan of our Legislative
Comrnittee I feel safe in saying that our
statement represents so far as it goes
practically t'he unanimous affirmative
opinion of our Board*
Preliminary to any statement of specific
proposals, the Committee desires to emphasize
the point that legislative proposals in the
field of public education should be developed
against a background which keeps in mind the
desirable educational philosophy of a
democratic state, and which keeps in mind
continually the best traditions which are
being developed relative to the management
and control of public education in AmericaThe following points represent items which
we believe are WDrthy of immediate ]£gislative
consi derati on
:
Trustees - appoint by State Superintendent
for overlapping periods in order to secure continuity of policy. For example, begin with two,
four, and six year appointments and vjith
reappointments on a six year basis.
(1)
(2) Elect Head of Institution for continuous
service by Board of Trustees with approval of
State Superintendent.
(3) Return to Board of Trustees respor^ibility a:.
and authority in the field of (a) purchase of
materials, supplies, and equipment having to do
with the professional educational function; (b)
purchase of naterials, supplies, and equipment
having to do with the maintenance and custodial
functions to a limit of $100.
The following anencinents are suggestive of one
method by which the above results might be
secured:
(a) Insert in Section 507 (paragraph "B") after
the word "purchases" in line seven, the following:
"costing more than $100.00 for each article".
(b) Insert in Section 50 7 (paragr^h "C") after
the word "fuel" in line three, the following:
"and other supplies, furnishings and equipment
costing less than $100.00".
-524-
.
Amead Section 507 by inserting an additional
paragraph in a section to read as follows:
"The Boards of Trustees of State"'"'TeaclBrs Colleges
shall have the right to pui'chase all materials,
supplies and equipinent that sholl in any v/ay effect
the strictly educational departments of the institution, but in each instance *oro the cost of any
article is nore than ^100. 00 it shall be necessary
to ask for competitive bids when articles of equal
educational value can be secured."
(c)
(4) Return to Board of Trustees responsibility and
authority for handling funds iBceived from students.
In effect these funds are not State Revenue and in
our judgment should not be turned in to the General
Fund of the Treasury. They are trust funds and
should be administered by the institution and
returned to the students 100% in local service. If
this is not done the State nay be in the position of
raising revenue from its public school system.
(5) Return to Board of Trustees responsibility and
authority for handling unserviceable property.
Proper advertising and bidding restrictions can be
required.
(6) Remove 17 year age limit for students otherwise
prop e rly qu al i f ie d
(7) The attention of the State Council is invited
to Section 709, pa.ragraph i, of iiie Administrative
Code, and the question is raised as to whether or
not this is broad enough to cover the various
types of hazards.
Please consider the Committee at your dig)osal
at any time."
On motion of Doctor Tanger, seconded by Doctor Foster,
it was voted that discussion on the Legislative proposals
postponed for the present.

Plan fdr developnent of syllabi
for the State Teachers Colle f^es
Mr. Klonower reported as f ollov/s on a
plan for further developrent of the syllabi in
the State Teachers Colleges:
"Nunerous inquiries have been rjade as to
what the procedure \vill be in the natter
of bringing to a final conclusion the
syllabi for the courses now partially
developed by the faculties of the State
Teachers Colleges.
The natter has been discussed T.i th Doctor
Rule and our joint reconr.33ndation is that
each subject be assigned to the Chai man
elected by the group at the Blooi:Bburg
meeting. The Chairaan would then hold

S ung-^ary of Status of Non-Stan dard
Certifi cates Endiibit B
(
)
iir. Xlonovrer distributed a chart indicating
the nunber of senester hours earned by holders of
Non-standard Certificates, including the n\mber of
teachers holding Partial Certificates and Teachers
with less than, high school preparation by Counties,
as of March 1, 1930.
Iftf.
Ivlonower said in part:
-530-
2856 teachers were teaching
in the public schools of the Cor.ir.ion\;ealth on
partial eleuentary certificates; 123 were
"liarch 1st, 1930,
teachers with partial secondary certificates;
98 teachers showed a deficiency in hio:h school
credits. The enclosed chart is a study prepared by the Teacher Bureau indicatijig the
professional status in each county of the
Coriaons/ealth v/here teacters were then er.5)loyBd
on non-standard certificates.
In the "61-69" colurm are listed the number of
teachers vdio will, in all likelihood, conplete
the requirenent for standard certification
before the end of the first senester, or
certainly not later than June of next year. They
nay carry over the sunner session, but in any
case, by the opening of the schools in Septeaber,
the 3 26 teachers #io lack one to nine senester
hours of the requireraent for standard certification
will have discharged this preparation.
The nuaber of teachers in the "51-60" seniester-hour
colui'.in night, if they desired, clear up the requireraent for standard certification by September, but
perhaps not raany of then will take nore than the
required preparation for the renewal of the partial
elenentary certificate. This nay also be true of
the nxmber of teachers found in the "31-40" seriEsterhour c oluran and the "21-30" senester-hour colurm.
The teachers listed in the "0-20" senester-hour
colurm have considerable distance to go before
neeting the requirenents for the standard certifiBut they represent only 3.6% of the group.
cate.
The nunber of teachers who hold partial secondary
certificates is decreasing rapidly and the few
teachers who still renain in service without high
school preparation represent a negligible nunber.

Miscellaneous

Doctor Haas stated that the item in which all
interested had apparently disappeared from the
docket. He asked that the Board be tept fully
infomed in regard to the policy of setting up
special courses in any of the State Teachers Colleges
and that the uaial procedure be follofred, of first
referring the matter to the Board, then to the
Curricular Hevision Committee for study and later to
the Board as a Trhole for final recomtcendation to the
Superintendent for his ^proval.
v/ere
Doctor Rule stated that the item of "Special
Education" would be placed on the docket until the
matter jias finally settled.
Doctor Rule explained to the Board that Doctor
Keith had expressed the xiisti to see the Board in a

Agreement between the State Teachers Colleges and the
School of Educati on in Pennsylvania Colleges
Doctor Haas, Chairman of the Committee, reported no new
developments since the last meeting of the Board.
-535-
Doctor Rule suggested that it might be wise for the
Chairman of the Board to call a meeting several times during, the
year to include the Chairman of the Curri cular Revision Committee,
the Chairman of the Board of Presidents, the Deans of the Schools
of Education of the four institutions interested, and the Director
of the Teacher Bureau to discuss from the angle of the needs of
the State Teachers Colleges some of the problems that are common
to both groups.
On motion of Doctor Haas seconded by Doctor Foster it

Report of Committee on key deposits and reservation
deposits
Mr. Allen, Chairman of the Committee, stated that there
had been much correspondence and also a conference v7i th Ivlr. Metzger
of the Department of Revenue regarding the key deposit, advance
enrollment deposit, and advance room reservation deposit. He reported
that I>/Ir. Ivfetzger would approve of the omission of any requirement as to
the key deposit.
On motion of Doctor Straughn seconded by Doctor Lehman it
was voted that all reference to the key deposit be removed from the
regulations and handled by each school in its own way.
-536-
Mr. AXlen further reported that he had made a careful
study of the vrork involved in connection mth the revision of
the Unifor© Account ing System as it affected the advanced
enrollment deposit and advanced foom reservation deposit. He
said that the amount of Hork involved under the revised procedure Trould not be any more than under the previous procedure
but that it TTOuld mean additional vrork on registration day.
However, inasijiuch as some of the other Teachers Colleges were
already following the procedure as reqiiired under the revision
and reported that it worked satisfactorily, it was the opinion
of the Board that no further question be raised as to the nev/
procedure as it affects advanced room reservation deposits and
advanced enrollment deposits and that all of the institutions
comply with the procedure as revised.
On motion of Mr. Allen seconded by Doctor Straughn, it
was voted to accept the report of the committee and discharge
the committee.

10 .
Advisability of more liberal opportiinity for
tiewspaper advert is ing
Doctor Crawford felt that we should give more publicity
the the State Teachers Colleges through the newspapers. He
stated that at the present time we are not doing anything along
this line except through the Pennsylvania School Journal. He
stated that the Auditor General's Department vTill not approve
bills for newspaper publicity.
He suggested that he would like Doctor Rule to get in
touch with the Auditor General aad ascertain if r£?;spaper
publicity could be approved.
Doctor Rule stated that this could be done but he was
not sure thia was the opportune time to do it.
-537-
11.
Advisability of changing the regulations
regarding leave of absence vdth pay
Doctor Riemer suggested that the instructors in the
State Teachers Colleges should be granted leave of absence
with pay every fourth sunmer, whether the three preceding
summers vfere spent in teaching or in study at some university
or approved travel.
Doctor Rule stated that it would be better to think
this matter over until the next meeting of the Board at v/hich
time perhaps some policy can be suggested that v/ill work out
satisfactorily for all the Presidents.
12.
Advisability and feasibility of making a_ careful study of the supply and deiiand of teachers
Doctor Riemer stated that he felt this sho^old be done
in the very near future for the good of the Teachers Colleges.
Doctor Rule stated that the State Council of Education
wanted to make a study of this whole situation and that this
Board vould want to cooperate with the State Council of Education in making such a study. This whole procedure 7/ill be set
up within a very short time and representatives from the Board
of Presidents of the State Teacters Colleges appointed to
cooperate v/ith the State Council of Education in making this
study in detail.
13.
Adherence on the part of all institutions to
the calendar adopted by the Board

strictly to the calendar as approved by the Board and the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction.
14 .

most convenient to the President of the institution. The talking

pictures to be shovm have all been produced by leadinf^ educators
and are designed to bo used in schools in the teaching of such
subjects as roathematios,. music psychology, physical education,

,
Mr. Shields stated that so far they had been able to
interest such well knovm educators as Doctor Hugh Mearns
Dr. Kilpatrick, Dr. Boswell, and Dr. Gates.
15 .
Refvind of tuiti on collected for the second
seraeste r from students vho are seventeen
years
_of
age or less
Doctor Rule asked each President to submit to him a
statement as to the number of students who are seventeen years
of age or less enrolled in each institution.
•
He further stated that an effort would be made to
refund the tuition to these students for the second semester,
and further, that this item is being taken care of in the
legislative program.
16.
Professional Status of Teachers as of
November 1, 1950
In distributing the charts among the members of the
Board, Mr. Klonower said in part:
"The charts indicate the very satisfactory progress
made during the past year in the matter of the
several school districts employing teachers v/ith
standard preparation or better and further indicate
the substantial gains made during the past ten
3?ears in providing the boys and girls of the Commonwealth with qualified teachers.
The figure 62,591 indicates the total number of
public school teachers now eitployed. Of the teachers
employed 9&.2!fo hold standard certificates or some
other form of certificate indicating a greater amount
of preparation than that required for the standard
certificate.
There are four classes of school districts in the
Commonwealth: first, second, third, and fourth.
In the fourth class school districts where the
population is less than 5,000, the record indicates
-539
In
a steady advance from 47.8% to QS.Vfi.
1920-21 most of the districts in this
population group fell belo:? the 50/o level;
in 1930-r31 most of these districts are to
be found in the 90% level.
One county
stands in the 100% group which riBans that
all the teachers have completed mininum
preparation or better for the standard
certificate.
In the second and third class school districts
the population ranges from 30,000 to
500,000 and from 5,000 to 30,000 respectively,
It is interthe gains are very substantial.
esting to note that both these districts have
moved to vfithin easy reach of the 100% level.
In the second class districts a nuiAer of cities
have maintained through three school teims a
100% record, while twelve school districts in
this classification are in the 99^ class."
vfhere
Mr, Klonower further suggested that perhaps the
instructor in educational administration in the State Teachers
Colleges would nant a supply of these charts to use in classes.
The Presidents reported they could use the follov7ing amounts:
Dr. Francis B. Haas
Dr. Robert M. Steele
Dr. Leslie Pincknsy Hill
Dr. G. C. L. Riemer
Mr. T. T. Allen
Dr. C. C. Crawford

Suggested revision of the four-year Junior
High School curriculum
Doctor Sisenberg, Chairman of the Committee,
reported for the committee. He stated as folloT7s:
a.
So far as the four-year elementary
curriculum is concerned the committee
wishes to report progress. The committee expects to have something of
real value to present to the members
of the Board at the next meeting,
b.
With reference to the suggestion that a
course in "parent -teacher" :vork be offered
in the State Teachers Colleges for credit,
Dr. Rule stated that the material T7hich
Mrs. Mellor had submitted was interesting
and he suggested that the material be given
to "the Chairmsm of the Ctirriculau? Revision
Committee for study and a report submitted
at the next meeting of the Board. He
further stated that it might be well to give
liirs, Mellor a hearing before the committee
and see what she has to offer or suggest.
c.
Doctor Eisenberg stated that the committee
would consider a modification of the courses
TTfeich are now offered as extension courses
and that he personally favored a slight
modification of the present practice, possibly
with the inclusion of several other courses
which could profitably be given in extension.
-543-
.
Doctor Siaenberg stated that the Curricular
Revision CojTiiiiittee had rnade a recoroiaendation
concerning: "special education" at the meetinf^
of the Board Septenber 21, 1928 to the effect:
"Your committee recommends that the Board
approve the establishment of a curriculum
for the preparation of special class teachers.
This curriculum is to be offered in certain
of the State Teachers Colleges to be designated
by the Department of Public Instruction."
This recommendation was approved by the Board,
and the comraittee authorized to go ahead and
develop the course of study to be submitted
later to the Board for their approval.
Under date of March 21, 1930 the Curricular
Revision Coronittee submitted a seventeen
semester hour curriculum for the preparation
of special class teachers (pages 474-475)
This report of the Committee was also approved
by the Board and by the State Superintendent.
Doctor Eisenberg stated that as he understood
it, the onljr action needed was to designate the
schools in irhich this curriculum was to be
offered.
With reference to the suggested revision of
the four-year Junior High School curriculum,
Doctor Sisenberg reported that the committee
7?as making progress and that a more detailed
report along the tentative lines suggested
at the meeting of the Board held January 21,
1931 ^ould be submitted to the members of the
Board before the next meeting so that they
would have ample time to study it and be ready
to act T^en the Board meets.
Doctor Straughn raised a question concerning
the matter of offering German for credit in
-544-
,
the State Teachers Colleges. He felt
that this was very essential since many
students needed it to enter gradiiate
schools.
Doctor Eisenberg stated that the conimittee
had taken this into consideration in their
report and very likely it would be taken
care of. He further stated that under date
of March 21, 1930, the committee had made a
recoimnendation relative to "additional
electives" in the Junior High School curriculum but this recommendation "Tas held in
abeyance by action of the State Superintendent
(pages 476-477-478-479)

.
Report of committee on "Special Fees"
a.
Is the fee for Home Eaonomics too high?
Doctor Straughn, Chairman of the Committee on
Fees, stated they had a meeting and discussed the matter of
the fees for the special curriculums. Both he and Doctor
Foster felt that the fee for Home Economics rras not
excessive for 'That the students are really getting out of the
curriculum.
Doctor Hill raised the question concerning the
fee for the Home Economics students as it applied to Cheyney.
He stated that for his school the fee rjas too high considering
the facilities and equipment TTith -stiich the students vrere
working. He further stated that he felt the excessive fee was
strangling the course at the present time. They had figured
the cost and as" far as they were able to determine it r/ould be
approximately $18.00 at Cheyney instead of -^36. 00 as non set
up in the schedule of fees. He further pointed out the fact
that the fee for the Industrial Arts people had been reduced
from 048 to $18.
On motion of Doctor Haas seconded by Doctor
Lehman it was voted that the matter of fees for the special
curriculums be referred to the Committee on Fees with the
request that if it is found advisable after care:eTil study a
special recommendation be made, covering the situation at
the Cheyney Training School and applicable to Cheyney only.

Report of coim nittee on
" New
Legislation"
Doctor Haas, Chairman of the Committee, reported
for the committee. He stated in part:
"The ComjnittRe consisted of Doctor Foster,
Allen, and Doctor Haas. The committee
was appointed by Doctor Keith to consider
questions of f;eneral legislation and not
questions of appropriation. The coramittee,
in line T7ith its instructions, prepared a
report on lef^islation for the Board and
since that time we were asked to prepare a
report on legislation for the State Council
of Education. The report v/hich was submitted
to the Board of Presidents of the State
Teachers Colleges was approved by the Board
and later presented to the State Couacil of
Education for their consideration. He \mderstood that the recommendations of the Board
were now being submitted to the Attorney
General to clear the legal phases.
T.tr.
Doctor Haas stated that despite this definite
set-up, the members of the committee had
received letters concerning the matter of
appropriation. The committee assumed the
responsibility in taking up the matter with
the Department of Public Instruction.
He further stated that he did not know anjrthing
further that the committee could do at this time."

Report of Committee on " Uniform plan of organization and b3'--la7/s for the State Teachers Colleges"
Doctor Haas, Chairman of the Committee, reported
that the final draft of the "by-laws" had been submitted to
the Board and had been passed upon. The Board had requested
that this set of "by-laws" be submitted to the Attorney
General's Department for criticism as to the legal phases of
the "by-laws".
Doctor Rule stated that the set of by-laws had
been submitted to Miss O'Hara, Deputy Attorney General, for
suggestions and she had made only one minor change to suggest.
After discussion the members of the Board asked to
have this re-submitted to Miss O'Hara for further clarification relative to the introduction of new business at a meeting
of the Board of Trustees.
-546-
Doctor Rule stated that this would be done and a
report submitted at the next meeting of the Board.

Report of coinmattee on " Revision and re-evaluation
of entrance requirements of the State Teachers
Colleges"
Doctor Steele, Chairman, of the committee, reported

they had to work on this report. The report follows:
1.
Graduation from an approved four- year
high school or equivalent education;
entrance shall be limited to the upper
three-fourths of the graduating class

Mr. Klonower distributed a chart prepared by the
Teacher Bureau indicating a "Study of Marking Plans and
Requirements for Graduation in State Teachers Colleges".
It was suggested that this be studied and filed
with a vote of thanks to those responsible for helping to
prepare the report.
(See Exhibit A)
9.
The regulation regarding leave of absence with
pay.
Doctor Haas stated that the provision for leaves
of absence for members of the instructional staffs after
the required period of service was a part of the regular
Salary Qualification Schedule now in effect and unless
amended by the Executive Board is still effective. He
further suggested that the presidents should make proper
provisions in their budgets to make possible this feature
of the schedule.
The discussion indicated that aj.1 schools with the
exception of four regularly grant leaves of absence with pay
and that all the schools had regularly granted increments
where they were deserved.

.
Advisability and feasibility of making a_ careful
study of the supply and dema?id of teachers
Doctor Rule explained that the Department was
cooperating with the Bureau of Education in "Tashington in
making a study of supply and demand and that the Bureau had
sent out some 60,000 questionnaires; 30,000 of these were
sent out directly from the office of the Corariiissioner of
Education to cities with over 10,000 population and the
balance from the Department of Public Instruc"Gion together
with a letter from Doctor Cooper explaining the purpose of
the survey. A frank envelope was enclosed so that the completed questionnaire might be returned directly to the office
of the Commissioner of Education, TTashington, D. C.
-552-
Doctor Rule further stated that at the last meeting
of the State Coiincil of Education the recommendation was made
that a representative committee be appointed to study this
whole question during the next year. A committee would
probably be made up of representatives from the Board of
Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges, representatives
from the liberal arts colleges, representatives from the
schools of education in Pennsylvania, a District Superintendent a County Superintendent and perhaps one or two lay
members.

Refund of tuition collected for the second
semester from students who are less than
seventeen years of age
Doctor Rule explained that there would be no refund
of tuition this year to those students whoare less than
seventeen years of age. However, there is some legislation on
foot which will eliminate this charge for the future and which
will be effective beginning with September 1931

The desirability of a required two-semester
hour course in sensory materials
Doctor Rule stated that there had been a meeting
here in the Department of representatives from the several
colleges and universities and State Teachers Colleges concerning Visual Education and the interest and enthusiasm
displayed was very encouraging. The opinion of the group
was that some training ought to be required of every teacher
or prospective teacher in the public schools.
Doctor Haas felt that this matter should be considered during the study of the extension courses now being
offered for credit in the State Teachers Colleges and also
for immediate consideration in the curriculxom.
Doctor Eisenberg stated that the Curricular Revision
Committee would reconsider this matter of Visual Education.

Notices concerning pupils sent to Teachers
College infirmaries
Doctor Rule stated this item was placed on the
docket on account of a complaint from a parent whose daughter
had been sent to the infirmary o£ one of the Teachers Colleges
and the parent claimed he was not notified as promptly as he
felt he should have been.
It developed that all of the Presidents of the
State Teachers Colleges were notifying the parents immediately
in case of serious illness on the part of the students.

A suggestion regarding uniform printing for
the State Teachers Colleges
Doctor Crawford stated that he had asked that this
item be placed on the docket but since Doctor Haas was Chairman
of the Committee on uniform printing, he would refer his
question to him.
Doctor Rule stated that he would like to hold an
early meeting with the Chairman of the committee on printing
to see whether we could not set up some kind of a standard
for the printing of our catalogs, pamphlets, et cetera and
give some kind of an outline of this work to Mr. Helms,
Director of Publications.

Doctor Rule stated that an early meeting ??ould
be held to consider the matter of centralized piirchasing
with the idea of setting up some system which is more
flexible than the one now in use.

Enrollments in the State Teachers Colleges a£
of February 15, 1931
Mr. Klonower distributed enrollment charts shovzing
the distribution of students in the State Teachers Colleges
as of February 15, 1931.
(Exhibit B)
Each member of the Board was given tvjo copies of
the enrollment chart with the suggestion that the figures
for their school be checked, approved, and returned to the
Teacher Bureau so that the final distribution could be made
promptly.
a.
Question of guiding students in the
selection of a curriculum
Mr. Klonower called attention to the fact that very
few students were electing the four-year elementary curriculum.
He suggested that definite guidance be given students in the
selection of fields of preparation. If the enrollments in the
Junior High School curriculum were limited and students advised
to select the four-year curriculum in elementary education, the
situation might be corrected.
Doctor Straughn approved the idea in principle but
indicated that there were other factors which ought to be
considered and he pointed out the urgency of enriching the
four-year elementary curriculum.
Doctor Haas stated that large enrollments might be
secured in the four-year elementary curriculum if the salaries
of teachers in the elementary field were substantially raised
and we insisted upon a full four-year preparation level for
all these positions.
On motion of Doctor Steele seconded by Doctor Straughn
it was voted that the Curricular Revision Committee be instructed
to prepare a report immediately on the four-year elementary
curriculum and in this connection to study it with possible
revisions and developments in the Junior High School curriculum.

sent to them and to Doctor Keith in his recent illness from the

Report o_f representative attendi ng tjie meeting
of the Ameri can Association of Teachers Colleges
- Doctor Lehman
Doctor LeliiTBn vjho represented the State Teachers
Colleges at the meeting of the American Association of Teachers
Colleges, said in part:
,
"A report of these meetings may take one of
two forms:
it may consist of a short resume
of the addresses delivered and the reports
made or it may take the form of an attempt
to indicate the significance of certa^^in
movements; an effort from some sli.^iit stirring
of the stravfs to point out ¥/hich way the winds
of March are likely to blow, before they have
begun to hlo'Ti,
Since eight members of the body were present
at these meetings and presumedly noted what
was said and done and since the printed
volume of proceedings will soon be available
to all, I shall use the second method in
saking a short report.
-656-
i
i
Fourteen years a-'^o at Kansas City, llisaouri, I
attended the first xneetin,-^ of what is now the
American Association of Teachers Colle-^/js. It
vTas called by the Normal School Principals of
the Middle 'Test. Invitations had been sent to
all Normal School Principals to meet ^ith the
group from the Middle States to form a national
organization. A record made at that time shows
that only tvra Principals were present from Pennsylvania and only sixteen from the region east
of the Alleghenies and of these six were from
]\fessachusetts
The discussions at this meeting were spirited.
The Mid and Far-western Principals were deeply
concerned in becoming Teachers Colleges at once
and securing by legislative enactment the exclusive
privilege of preparing teachers for the elementary
and high schools. Their quarrel was irith the land
grant colleges and the State Universities.
Oiir
problem in the east was then a very different one*
Riggs of Ne~ York and Pittman of Massachusetts
differed as to the wisdom of joining an association
so clearly dominated by Missouri, Wisconsin,
Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska, and Michigan, supported by the states from the Mssissippi Valley
and the Pacific slope. It was evident then that the
organization would continue under the control of the
group that was in turn dominated by the North Central
Association.
The organization thus effected has groTm steadily
and its standards have had a marked influence in
bringing about the introduction of a four year course
into eastern and southern Normal Schools euid in changing
them into Teachers Colleges.
It is interesting to note that, in spite of the fears
and jealousies of the western schools, men connected
with large institutions such as Teachers College
Columbia University, Chicago University, and New York
University, -"hile not eligible as members, are chairmen of important committees and largely dominate the
organization. It may not be without interest to note
that at the St. Louis meetings smd indeed at the meetings held prior to 19S5, the regulations prescribed
that only members of the Association were privileged
to be in attendance at its meetings.
,
-557-
Let it be recognized then that the American Association of Teachers Colleges is not a compact organization. It is rather an accretion of orf^anizations
that fulfills in some measure the definition of a
Teachers College or a Normal School as set forth in
Sections A and B of Article 1 of Standards for
Accrediting Teachers Colleges as adopted February 26,
1926, but revised at every subsequent meeting.
In spite of the ambitious and well organized program
of President 3'rasier as set forth in his opening
address, very few of his fourteen points were put
into practical effect. The new constitution prepared
by a committee of Past Presidents goes over for further
consideration;
the plan to have a paid secretary was
defeated and the present efficient Secretary-Treasurer
continues in office without salary. The date of the
annual meeting remains vmchanged.
A committee reported
in favor of a quarterljr journal
and the associates voted in favor of the publication
of auch a journal. Any opposition that mi-ht have
manifested itself was dispelled when it appeared that
the organization has money enough in its treasury to
finance the project for at least one year.
The much disputed question as to the dues to be paid
by the various colleges, whether they shall be increased,
whether they sliall be imiform for all colleges goes over
for another year.
The effort to admit two institutions privately owned and
controlled and preparing teachers in but one field of
service failed and the matter goes over for further consideration.
The addresses of the speakers who appeared on the part of
the program devoted to the Consideration of Standards
will, I understand, be published in full in the proceedings
of the Association. It need only be said that the address
of President Tilkins of Oberlin College stated the case of
the liberal arts colleges fairly and definitely. He was
fair in his presentation ajid urged that the educational
forces of the coimtry should be roade up of graduates from
all types of colleges and Training Schools so that the
public might have the best that can be seciored.
-558-
Of coiirse the bi^;z, dominant question always present
even though not specifically stated was "Is it the
business of the State to educate the teachers of the
State or may the business be delegated wholly or
And
partly to privately controlled institutions?"
no state is more vitally interested in this question
than Pennsylvania.
In the past the liberal arts colleges, controlling
very largely the coiorse of study in our high schools
and preparing the teachers for them, have emphasized
scholarship, learning culture, pure science, and
knowledge for its own sake.
The Normal Schools were perforce driven to adopt a
different ideal - the study of subjects for their
inherent value in fitting for practical every day
life with culture and scholarship not as ends in themselves, but as means to other desirable and necessary
ends since they dealt largely with preparing teachers
for elementary schools. This conflict, while more
marked in Pennsylvania than in other states, is
imminent if not actively prominent in all of them,
and is it too much to say that like Seward's "irrepressible conflict" it will not down and must be met
fairly and squarely in any philosophy of education
that this state may adopt. It v/ill influence the
whole question of teacher certification, granting of
appropriations for teacher training to institutions not
under State control and discretion.
5
To me personally one of the most interesting and
significant events of the meeting was something not
on the official program. This was a luncheon-meeting
of the Presidents of Teachers Colleges of the New
England, Ivliddle and Southern States called by President
Pittman of Salem, llassachusetts. Forty-tiro were present
and listened with interest and in some cases sympathy
to the complaint of the New England and New York Presidents and Principals. They objected strongly to the
standards set up by the Association of Teachers Colleges.
They urged that the possession of even a bachelor's
degree was not a necessary qualification for a successful
teacher in a Normal School ~ but they yjere vehement in
their objections to the requirement of the master's degree
- not to mention the doctorate degree on the part of the
faculty of a Teachers Collega as a basis of determining
the rating of the institution.
-559-
Incidentally vo 0W:.'ht to say that the position of
President Pittinaii led to the appointraent of a committee made up of one member from each section of
the nation to consider the mat-;er of teacher
qualificatioi. Cf course the question as to the
t^/pe and grade of teacher to be prepared by the
Teachers Colls'se must determine the qualification
of the teachers. Ve shall all be called upon to
assist the CoraniittGe on National Survey ox" Teacher
Training of whic'.i Commissioner of Education V.'illiam
John Cooper is cliaimiai. The study to bo r.iade by
this coTTimittee should make available lOt o.ily the
qualifications of teachers in public schools, the
supply of available teachers, the facilities available for teacher training, including course of study
and methods of teaching as set forth in the announcement of its appointment, but it should enable the
nation to adopt a philosophy of education especially
related to teacher training which will definitely
answer the question as to the dutjr of the rotate in
training; the teachers of the state.
In spite of the fact that little positive action
was tajcen at this meetini^, the ground was cleared
for definite action on a nuraber of iraporta;rb
questions at the next meeting. Every teachers
college in the state will be vitally concerned in
the disposition of these iratters."
On raotion of Doctor Straughn seconded by
Doctor Haas it rras voted that the report of Doctor
Lehman be accepted and made a part of the roinutes
of the meeting of the Board of Presidents, and
that each iiier.iber of the Board be sent a copy of this
report for his files.
The Board adjourned at 1:00 P, M. to reconvene
lay 7, 1931 at eleven o'clock and hold a t-^o-day
session in the Conf erenco Hoom of the Department of
Public Instruction.

c.
Modification of present practice in limiting

e.
Suggested revision of the four-year Junior
High School Ciirriculum
Doctor Eisenberg, Chairman of the Committee, reported for
the committee.
He reported as follows:
Mimeographed copies of the tentative ciirriculums for
use in the State Teachers Colleges were previously
mailed to the Presidents of the State Teachers
Colleges for study and review. Doctor Eisenberg
explained how the tentative curriculums were formulated.
1.
The basis of 128 semester hours for graduation was
arrived at by the committee to permit more intensive
preparation ajid opportunity for reading on the part
of students.
2.
The committee decided to r<etain all of the subjects
of the present curriculums that function effectively.
This judgment was arrived at largely through the
various statements that have come from the faculty
committees and faculty organizations over a period
of years.
3.
Music, Art, and Health Education are included on a
laboratory basis, practically on the same basis as
they are in the previous curriculums.
4.
All regular class subjects are credited somewhere
in the curriculum; for instance, ten hours of
Library work is now offered without credit. The
committee suggests that the Library work be included
as a regular subject.
-562-
core curriculum for Kindergarten-Primary, Elementary,
Intermediate, Rural, and Secondary is surj.'jested. Fiftynine semester hoirrs of work as a core are suggested and
the remainder of the v7ork will be in elementary or
secondary as the case may be. The core courses are
common to both the elementary and secondary fields.
5.
A.
6.
Elasticity in the curriculums is provided through free
electives. Six hours of free electives in each curriculum except the rural curriculum which has onlj'- three
semester hours of free electives are suggested. In each
case of the free electives the committee recommends that
these free electives shall be chosen by the President of
the institution in connection trith the faculty members
who are interested, and that the approval of the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction be required.
7.
A suggested arrangement by semesters
for the several
curriculums is suggested.,
8.
In the elementary curriculum student teaching to the
extent of six semester hoiirs may be substituted in the
fourth semester for Literature and History in the case
of a student who desires to teach at the end of the
two-year period. This applies to the kindergartenprimary, intermediate, and rural groups. The above is
predicated on the belief that the two year certificate
in use at present should be discontinued and its place
taken by a limited State certificate, valid for three
years, renewable on successful teaching experience at
the end of its first period and subsequent periods when
twelve semester hours of approved preparation have been
completed. Such a plan would encourage the teacher to
attend two summer sessions within a three year period and
eventually permit her to complete her four years of post
high school preparation while in service.
9.
In the secondary field the electives have been liberalized
by making it possible in the several fields for each
institution '^ich offers that field of electives to offer
twelve semester hours of work.
The committee proceeded after all the suggestions which
grew out of the faculty conferences had been considered.
The committee also considered the various up-to-date
curriculums in teacher training througliout the country.
Seventeen curriculums were analyzed... The curriculums
follow as Exhibit A.
-563-
On motion of Doctor Eisonberg secondod by Doctor Haas it was
voted that the curriculums in Kinderr:^rtQn--Priniary, Intermediate, Rural, and Secondary education be approved as submitted; that is, the curricula for elementary and secorri ary
teachers become effective September 1931 for the four-year
freshmen, and that the elective fields are to become
effective September 1931 for advanced students.
b.
Doctor Sisenberg stated that the coraraittee
wished to have discussion on this item deferred,
c«
The committee recommended that the item
"modification of the present practice in
limiting extension courses to a prescribed
number of courses" be held over for another
meeting as the committee had nothing definite
to report at this time.
d.
The committee recommended that discussion on
this item of "special education" be deferred
until the next meeting of the Board.
e.
Doctor Eisenberg stated that this item was
taken care of in item a.
On motion of Doctor Eisenberg seconded by Doctor Haas it was
voted to accept the recommendation of the committee on items
b

2.
Report of comraittee on "Special Fees"
a.
Is the fee for Home Economics too high?
Doctor Straughn, Chairman of the Fee Committee,
suggested that inasmuch as this problem applied to the Cheyney
Training School for Teachers alone, that Doctor Hill be
requested to suggest to the State Superintendent of Public
Instruction the amount of fee which he felt would be acceptable
in his situation and that the fee for the Home Economics
curriculum in the other t^ro institutions remain as it is.
3.
Report of committee on "Legislation"
Doctor Haas, Chairiran of the committee, reported
that there were no ne'fr developments in the matter of Legislation.
Doctor Rule stated that the recomraendations made by
the special legislative committee of the Board of Presidents of
the State Teachers Colleges were submitted to the Legal Department
-564-
and the Governor for their consideration and that all recommendations TTith one or tTro exceptions had been rejected.
Doctor Straughn called to the attention of the Board,
House Bill #1086 and the disastrous effect it vrould have on
the State Teachers Colleges if it were passed by the Legislature,
On motion of Doctor Foster seconded by Doctor Eisenberg
it TTas voted that this Board go on record as being absolutely
opposed to House Bill #1086,
4.
Rep ort of committee on " Uniform Plain o f
Organization and By-laws for the State
Teachers Colleges"
Mr. Klonower explained that the uniform by-laT?s Trere
re-submitted to the Deputy Attorney General, Miss S. M. R.
O'Hara, for further clarification emd Miss O'Hara replied as
follo',7s:
"Replying to your letter of April 22, 1931, in
the matter of Article I, Section 4, Line 7, of
the proposed by-laws of the joint committee of
thfe Board of Trustees and the Board of presidents of the State Teachers Colleges;
'The limitation upon business to be transacted
applies only to special meetings. It is a
common limitation included in by-laws -jith
respect to business which may be trainsacted at
a special meeting.
Perhaps if the comma is removed after the word
"notice", in that sentence, the intention that
the limitation applies only to speciaj. meetings
will be clearer.' "
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Lehman, it
was voted that the formal report of the committee be submitted
to the State Superintendent for his approval and at his discretion it shall be returned to the several Boards of Trustees for
action.
The members of the Board asked to have twelve copies
mailed to each institution.

pay
Doctor Rule pointed out that the special regulations inako it
possible for an instructor to be granted the third sxiramer off for
study or travel vrith pay, but the interpretation of a leave of
absence after three periods of forty-two weeks each should be
adhered to, subject of course, to the limitations of the approved
budget of the institution concerned. It should also be understood
that the three forty- two weeks periods of emplojraent should be in
one institution, that is, the institution requesting the leave of
absence with pay,

end of the last class rather than Saturday at noon. Doctor Haas
explained that this in no practical way interfered with the work
of the institutions and it was desirable for a great many reasons

and he was agreed to approve the suggestion of the Calendar
Committee.

seniors of the State courses of study.

letter indicating the number of copies which will be needed for
the senior class of their institution and he would see that their
requests are cared for.

docket at his suggestion. He explained that the cost of this
service was $25.00 per year and he felt the service rendered

for each school to handle this matter individually.

matter and if there was any material concerning the same that
