The meeting was called to order by the Chairman at 9:30 o'clock v. The following were present Bloomsburg California Cheyney Clarion East Stroudsburg Edinboro Indiana Francis B. Haas Robert M.

Approval of the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Presidents held in Harrisburg, May 2, 1935 On motion of Doctor Foster, seconded by Doctor Allen it voted that the minutes of the meeting of the Board held May 2, 1935 be approved as submitted. v.as II. Unfinished Busine ss 1. Report of the Curri cular Revision Corar.ittee A. Revision of curriculums -939- Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision He stated that the committee Committee, reported progress. has in mind the revision of the curriculums and will no doubt have a report to submit at the next meeting of the Board. 2. Report of committee re "modification of the law for permanent certification in Pennsylvania" Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the Committee, reported for the committee. He stated that the committee had discussed the matter on different occasions but due to the various circumstances surrounding the situation, the committee had taken no definite action. The committee felt it would be appropriate for the entire membership of the committee to confer with the State Superintendent and the Secretary of the Board at an early date to go over this matter. 3. Report of committee re "recognition of high schools by the Middle States Association" Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the Committee, stated that he felt some progress had been made. Since the initial meeting of the committee with Doctor McClelland at the University of Pennsylvania several of the State Teachers Colleges had made application for admission to the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Their applications are now pending before the commission. Doctor McClelland of the University of Pennsylvania, who is Secretary of the Association, seemed very favorable to the matter of recognition. He is inclined to think that the Colleges would qualify under the existing regulations. Under the provisions of the regulations now in effect, Teachers Colleges as such, are not members of the Association. He further stated that it might be well for the committee to know just which of the institutions had made application for recognition. On a roll call, it developed that Indiana, Shippensburg and West Chester, were the only institutions that had thus far made application for membership. Doctor Ross stated that they would like to make application but they did not know from where the .$25.00 fee was to come. -940- Doctor Armstrong stated that he felt since the institutions were uniform in all that they do, curriculums, entrance requirements, graduation requirements, the fees, et cetera, he did not see why, if one or two of the larger institutions made application and met the standards set up by the Association, the remaining Colleges could not be admitted without formal application. He did not see why, since the Teachers Colleges are State-owned and Statecontrolled, if one or two of the Colleges are eligible to membership, are not all of them eligible without formal application? , Doctor Rowland stated that the recommendation of the committee which met with Doctor McClelland was to the effect that the application of each State Teachers College be studied on its own merits and admission to membership in the Association of the Middle States and Maryland be individual after each institution had complied with the requirements set up by the Commission. Doctor Rohrbach stated that he felt because of the fact that the. institutions are State-owned and Statecontrolled, if any of the Teachers Colleges could not meet the requirements set up by the Association, then it was up to the State to exercise such measures as it has within its power to see that if one institution meets the requirements the remaining ones do also. Doctor Rowland stated that as Chairman of the Committee he would like to be informed as to the progress the different institutions make in their individual application for admission to the Association. 4. Budgets for 1S55-57 biennium Doctor Haas, Chairman of the Committee, reported for the committee. He submitted the following report: -941- : "Doctor Lester K. Ade State Superintendent of Public Instruction Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Harrisburg, Pennsylvania July 24, 1935 Dear Doctor Ade; The Committee which you have appointed to make suggestions relative to the budget situation for State Teachers Colleges for the 1935-37 biennium respectfully submits for your consideration the following report 1933-35 Distribution: - 1. Your committee reviewed the distribution made for the 1933-35 biennium and in this respect attention is called to the following: a. b. c. Suggested Standards for the Administration of the State Teachers Colleges Report of the Meeting of the Budget Committee of the Board of Presidents of March 26, 1934 Proposal for a Comprehensive Plan upon which to base Allocations to State Teachers Colleges It is the belief of the committee that the final method of allocation used during the last biennium represented an improvement over previous attempts to distribute equitably the State appropriation to the State Teachers Colleges. It seems to be the general belief, however, that the weakness of the method lies in the fact that allocations were made on a past situation for a future condition. Questions Raised by Members of the Board of Presidents: 2. The committee immediately following its appointment invited comments, suggestions, and questions from the members of the Board and the following are the major ones that have been received: a« Is any part of the $3,200,000 prejudiced legally by the requirements of other State Departments, such as Labor and Industry for the Fire and Panic Act, Department of Health, Department of Property and Supplies? -942- - Doctor Lester K. Ade (2) b. c. d. e. f. g. h. i. 3. Have any appropriations been made to other Departments for the purpose of serving the State Teachers Colleges; for example, to Property and Supplies for construction, to the Department of Highways for roads, et cetera? What is the situation as regards the possibility of the State Teachers Colleges benefiting from Federal Aid either directly or through combination with part of the present appropriation to meet such requirements as those of the Department of Labor and Industry? Should the present schedule of fees be reviewed? Should Uniform regulations be made relative to non-resident students using the dormitory facilities? What policy is to be followed relative to the restoration of salary cuts? This concerns both campus and cooperative teacners. Is it desirable to modify the policy now in effect relative to the limitation of enrollment? Should any consideration, be given to deficiencies from the previous biennium in distributing the present appropriation? Is it possible to relate more closely the distribution for the coming biennium to the actual enrollment than has been done in the past? 1935-37 Distribution: - Following your suggestion your committee reviewed: a. b. The method used for the 1933-35 situation The questions raised by members of the Board c. The statement 'State Allocations - Teachers Colleges' which you sent to the committee under date of July 12, 1935. of Presidents At my suggestion Mr. kcClure presented a statistical statement translating these proposals into actual figures for the biennium 1933-35. It is the opinion of the committee that these proposals represent a further development in the effort of distributing equitably the State appropriation and it is suggested that a preliminary distribution of approximately 50$ of the first year's allocation be made to each institution on the basis of last year's facts as translated by Mr. McClure -945- Doctor Lester K. Ade (3) and that about November 1 when all the facts involved for the first year of the new biennium are available final allocations and budgets for the year 1935-36 be made. This will permit the institutions to organize the work for the first semester and give the Presidents additional time to study more carefully the latest plan proposed. The committee desires to reaffirm its belief in the philosophy and policy stated in the report to the Board of Presidents under date of March 26, 1934 and therefore respectfully takes exception to the statement appearing on page three and again on page four of the recent proposal relative to summer session salaries to the effect that 'total faculty salaries should be limited to the income yielded by the contingent fees.' It is the belief of the committee that the appropriation is made for a two-year period and that therefore in general the budget should be considered for a two-year period and that the preparation of new teachers and of teachers-inservice are part of a desirable program of public education on the part of tiie State. In administering further the twoyear period it seems reasonable to use the year consisting of a regular session and a summer session as the minimum period for balancing budgets and it seems reasonable especially during the present period to require teachers-in-service to pay part of the training-in-service costs. However, in questions of public policy such as public education it seems reasonable to believe that the main objective of the State is to secure the type of teacher desired rather than to make money or to balance the budget on paper. The committee believes that the year including the regular session and the summer session should be considered as an administrative unit and that the institution be required on the basis of the experience of the first year to balance its budget during the second year so that there will be a balanced budget for the biennium without any deficiencies. Respectfully submitted: Albert Lindsay Rowland Q. A. Y.". Rohrbach Robert M. Steele Charles R. Foster Francis B. Haas, Chairman -944- STATE ALLOCATIONS - TEACHERS COLLEGES Discussion of Factors to be Considered 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Size of college Enrollments in and kind of curricula offered Resident proportion of total enrollment Local receipts Variation in local costs The size of a college and the kind of curricula offered have a direct bearing on the ratio of students to faculty. Large colleges, curricula being the same, average larger classes than smaller colleges. There is also a wide variation in size of classes among certain curricula. Thus, a statement of comparative student-teacher ratios is not significant without a standard of measurement that recognizes the above factors. During periods of fluctuating and declining enrollments, faculties either in number or in total salaries, are thrown out of line with enrollments. Coupled with reduced appropriations it becomes necessary by vertical or horizontal cuts to restore such a relationship as will balance the budget on the instructional side. This restoration is not affected in the same degree by each college. Any equitable system of computing allocations must take cognizance of this factor in order to avoid discrimination. Food and other housing costs represent a large part of total operating costs. As between colleges of similar enrollment, the one with the larger resident group will show the larger total expenditure. Expressed in terms of Class I student per capita, the college with the larger resident enrollment will have the higher per capita cost. This is the principal reason why a distribution of allocations on a per capita basis is inequitable unless the unit 'per capita' is made to have a common significance. .Local receipts vary among the colleges according to the resident population and to special curricula for which extra fees are assessed. Resident student per capita costs vary among colleges of similar size, not necessarily because of a difference in quality of food or other accommodations, but because of variation in resident population. The resident proportion of total enrollments ranges from 20$ to 10 / among the various colleges. If two colleges filth housing facilities for the same number of students show such a variation in housing facilities utilized, the one with the larger resident group will have considerably lovrer per capita housing costs than the one with the smaller resident group. Since the housing fees are not based on local costs, but are uniform among all the colleges, a differential is created between housing costs and housing income which must be recognized in making allocations. : Procedure for Calculating Allocations In order that colleges might prepare their budgets, based on total available funds, at the beginning of each year, allocations have been based on the preceding year's enrollments because the figures for the current year are not available until after the first semester's registration. A more accurate procedure would be to make a partial allocation at the beginning of the year and a supplemental allocation in October, after the enrollment figures are available. -945- In making allocations, the following approach is recommended: Determine faculty salaries by a formula which recognizes the 1. Class I enrollment in various curricula; the student clock hour relationship in each curriculum to the credit hour graduation requirements; the variation in average size classes among colleges because of their size and kinds of curricula; and the teacher's student- clock- hour teaching load which is the product of size of classes and hours of teaching. 2. Calculate faculty salaries for the summer session as the product of the enrollment and $30.00. In other words, the average contingent fee paid by summer students is approximately $30.00. Total faculty salaries should be limited to the income yielded by the contingent fees. After provisions have been made for all faculty salaries which 3. amount to approximately 45$ of the total operating costs, the remaining operating costs are determined for each group of colleges on a per capita basis (Class I plus 1/6 S.S.) which varies with the percentage of resident enrollment for each college within each group. The total of all the foregoing steps represents the total calculated After deducting estimated local receipts, the remainder is the amount required from allocations. Any excess available should be distributed as a uniform percentage on operating costs other than faculty 4. cost. salaries. When funds are available for additions, major repairs and replacements, the allocations should be distributed as a percentage of total investments in buildings and equipment at each college. For purposes of illustration, assume the following hypothetical college: Class I Enrollment Curriculum Secondary Elementary ^usic Total Resident 200 200 100 500 60$ Sumner Session 300 Teacher's average salary ^2500 (36 weeks) Faculty Salaries In order to calculate the size of faculty required in the above case, the following formula is used: F = F 18 E H 8 T C 18 E (H) 8 T C - Faculty - Weeks in one semester - Curricular enrollment - Clock hour equivalent for semester hour graduation - Semesters in four years - Teacher's clock hour teaching load per semester - Average size class for colleges of this group -946- requirements Applying tnis formula in simplified form to each of the curricula, we obtain the following: Enrollment Curriculum Student Clock hours Semester Clock hours = 326 200 x = 358 200 x 448 = 100 x 500 Divide by one teacher's student-clock hour teaching load per semester (180 x 28) Secondary Elementary Music 65,200 71,600 44,800 181,600 5,040 = 36>0 Since the local salary average given is $2500, the total faculty salaries for 36 weeks would be 36 x .|2500 or ^90,000. Summer Sessi on The summer session enrollment of 300 students pay contingent fees of -^30 each, or a total of ^9,000. Teachers' salaries for the summer session should be limited to this amount. Other Operating Costs Operating costs other than teachers' salaries are found to vary within each group of colleges segregated by size, according to the resident per cent of the total enrollment. The above college is in the group having from 500 to 699 Class I students. In colleges of this size with 60/o resident students as given in the example, the rate of ^219 per capita of total equated Class I students applies. The total number of Class I students on a 36 weeks basis equals 500 plus 1/6 of the summer session enrollment (300) or a total of 550 students. This number at ^219 per capita equals .^120,450. Assume that the local receipts amount to ^150,450. To> summarize the calculations for the basic costs, we have: Faculty salaries, 36 weeks Faculty salaries, summer Other Operating Costs (year) $ 90,000 Total operating cost Estimated local receipts $ 219, 450 Allocation Required £,000 120,450 150,000 ,$69,450 Any excess funds available after the above calculations are made should be distributed as a percentage of 'Other Operating Costs'. If, for example, a sufficient sum were available to give each college 10yo of 'Other Operating Costs,' the above college would receive 10,£ of $120,450 or $12,045. This, added to the above $69,450, would make a total of ;? 81,495." -947- Doctor Haas stated that the members of the committee had not seen the final draft of the report, but that it represented a summary of the meeting held with the entire committee yesterday. He further explained that a copy of the distribution plan would be furnished later by Lr. Crosley's office if the Presidents so desired. Doctor Haas explained that the committee recognizes the necessity for a "reserve fund" on the part of the Superintendent of Public Instruction so that emergencies could be taken care of where such might develop during the year; if any amount remained in the "reserve fund" near the close of each year this could then be allocated to the institutions where it was felt the greatest need developed for an additional amount to carry on the work of the institution. Mr. Crosley appeared before the members of the Board and stated in accordance with the statement made by Doctor Haas that he v,ould be glad to have copies of the distribution plan made and forwarded to the Presidents. Doctor Haas stated that he felt the only immediate need was the necessity of setting up some situation by which the institutions could budget their needs up to November 1, 1935 and meet the budget regulations of the Governor's Budget Office. Doctor Haas further advised each one of the Presidents to take the proposed plan, study it and apply the formula to his institution. Doctor Ross stated he could see at a glance that if the proposed plan is worked out as suggested, he will have to administer another cut and that it will be necessary for him to dismiss additional teachers. Doctor Haas stated that this is the very purpose of submitting the plan. The institutions should work out their needs up to November 1, 1935 in terms of the proposed plan; if the proposed plan does not work out, then we will have to get another plan, but he did not think it was fair for any one of the Presidents to draw conclusions at once without first studying the proposed plan. Doctor Ade stated that he had gone over this whole situation with Mr. Crosley and Mr. McClure during an evening session and he felt as Doctor Haas had stated, that it was not a good thing to draw conclusions without studying the plan in detail and applying it to the individual institution. -948- He stated that he would like to hold up the definite allocations for the year 19-35-36 until November 1, 1935 as had been proposed, and then make the budget allocations final in view of the enrollment figures, and with the consent of the Eoard, this would be done. Doctor Ade felt that there was need for a "reserve He further fund" but probably not as large as last year. stated that the very first thing we shall need is a report of the urgent repairs necessary in each institution, fthen such a list is submitted by the college, it should list the repairs in the form of their urgency. This list should be in the Department by Friday, July 26, 1935. These repairs insofar as possible should be started during the month of August. Doctor Rohrbach asked whether it would not be a good thing to keep in mind in submitting the proposed repairs, the possibility of having work done on the P. W. A. basis whereby the institutions would furnish the material only. Mr. Crosley stated that this is possible in areas where there is a great number of unemployed close to the college and should be done because it would save money for the State and the college. He further stated that if any of the colleges had projects they wanted handled this way, the projects should be sent to him at once. He would see that they are taken up immediately with Mr. Jones, P. Vv. A. Administrator for Pennsylvania. Doctor Rowland stated that it was revealed yesterday in connection with the budget, that the Fire and Panic Act of the Department of Labor and Industry had prejudiced the appropriation of the State Teachers Colleges to the sum of about two hundred thousand dollars. He felt that this sum could be reduced if the matter were taken up with the proper authorities. It would appear that some of tne less urgent items which were suggested might be postponed under the circumstances of this reduced budget. He felt that it was the thought of the committee the State Superintendent should be requested to contact the proper authorities with a view to setting up the very minimum amount required for the repair of the items which had been previously suggested by the Department of Labor and Industry. If the total amount as suggested must be taken out immediately, it will force the general appropriation for operating expenses below the level of what we had last year. Doctor Ade stated that in light of what had been suggested, he would be glad to contact Mr. Bashore and find out definitely what could be done along this line. -949- Doctor Foster stated that he would like to know whether there is any possibility of restoring the salary cuts which were made to the teachers in the colleges. He felt it v.ould be one of the finest things that could be done; if the entire cut could not be restored, part of it might be restored. Doctor Rowland stated that he did not see, in the light of the present appropriation, how it was possible to restore any part of the salary cuts. He felt it would take around $600,000.00 to restore the salary cuts in their entirety and he did not see from where this amount of money would come Doctor Haas stated that what he would like to see in the final analysis of the salary situation is a more uniform schedule throughout the institutions. He felt that if it was necessary for one or two of the institutions to reduce only 10$ for the summer session in addition to the 10$ already in effect, then some provision should be made so that other institutions would not find themselves in a position of reducing as much as 40$; in other words, if the teacher of English in one college Ttas reduced only 10$, that should be the reduction for English teachers in all the institutions. He would like to see some scheme worked out whereby this would be true in all the Teachers Colleges. On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Rowland it was voted that the report of the Budget Committee be accepted as submitted and that each President study the suggestions made in the report. On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Miller it was voted that the regulation with regard to reductions of salaries of instructors in effect lost year be continued at least for the first semester of the present year or until such time as we know the increase in enrollment figures and the total amount of money available for the fiscal year 1935-36. The regulation referred to is found on pages 821 and 822 of the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Presidents, June 16, 1933 and is as follows: "Effective June 1, 1933, the salaries of all employees in the State Teachers Colleges be reduced 10$ with the understanding that any exceptions to this reduction shall be taken only with the approval of the Superintendent of Public Instruction; And provided that, the reduction of 10$ be applied to every person in the institution with the understanding that the operation of this reduction shall cause no cash salary to be less than ^750 on an annual basis; -950- And with the further understanding, that allowance for maintenance whether paid in cash or in maintenance service, shall not be included in the amount to be reduced; And with the further understanding, that the ^750 limitation shall not be applied to cooperative teachers." Doctor Haas, Doctor Ross, Doctor Rohrbach and Doctor Riemer voted "no" on this resolution. 5. Transfer students Doctor Allen stated that Doctor Rowland had written to him concerning the regulation of the "Rules and Regulations Governing Athletic Competition in the State Teachers Colleges" It seemed as far as he and that he had replied to Doctor Rowland. was concerned the matter was settled if Doctor Rowland was satisfied with the interpretation given by the Chairman of the Athletic Committee. Doctor Rowland stated that he had a case of a person who had completed two years of work and had received a certificate of graduation and then desired to re-enter a State Teachers College; should such a person be considered as a transfer student or as a new student? If the student is considered as a "transfer student" he is not eligible to eater athletic competition for at least one year and if he is not considered as such, he may enter athletic games in the second institution in which he is matriculated. Doctor Rowland pointed out that this is apparently the way the ruling operated and he was not sure that it was so intended. Doctor Allen stated that the committee had so ruled and the ruling had been sustained by the Board, the original ruling was passed under date of December 5, 1929 and is found on page 445 of the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Presidents of that date. This position was reaffirmed in the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Presidents under date of March 23, 1932, page 642. On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Tanger it was voted that the committee reconsider the former interpretation and report at the next meeting of the Board of Presidents. 6. Report of the committee re "uniform fees deposits, and repayments in the State Teachers Colleges" , Doctor Foster, Chairman of the Committee, reported for the committee. He submitted a copy of a letter that had been drawn up for Doctor Ade to submit to the Attorney General, Honorable Charles J. Margiotti, as well as a copy of a letter to Doctor Ade, Superintendent of Public Instruction in explanation of the situation and in order to inform the Superintendent why this request was necessary. A copy of the letter to Doctor Ade and a copy of the letter to Honorable Charles J. Margiotti follows: -951- "Doctor Lester K. Ade State Superintendent of Public Instruction Harrisburg, Pennsylvania July 23, 1S35 Dear Doctor Ade: I am attaching herewith the report of the Fee Committee of the Board of Presidents relating to a question which has arisen with regard to the collection of the activity fee in the State Teachers Colleges. This question arose last semester as a result of an inquiry of the Auditor General's Department as to the legality of the present procedure in the State Teachers Colleges with reference to the collection of this fee. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction authorized the Fee Committee to study the situation and present a brief for the Attorney General on the basis of which a review of the situation might be made. Our Committee was authorized to take the matter up informally with the Attorney General, which we have done. The Attorney General requested that we submit a clear picture of the situation in letter form. This the Committee has done and the attached is the suggested communication to the Attoenry General which we feel should go to him either over your signature or over the signatures of the Committee, whichever you may decide is the most expedient way of handling the matter. Sincerely yours CRF mb Charles R. Foster, Chairman, Fee Committee Fee Committee Board of Presidents, State Teachers Colleges T. T. Allen, East Stroudsburg Robert M. Steele California Francis B. Haas, Bloomsburg Norman W. Cameron, West Chester Charles R. Foster, Indiana , -952- July 23, 1935 Honorable Charles J. Margiotti Attorney General Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Harri sburg Pennsylvania , Dear Mr . Margiotti: When the State Teachers Colleges were placed under the Administrative Code, Act No. 175, approved April 9, 1929, the book rooms and certain activities of the Colleges were placed under the State's jurisdiction. The moneys collected in the book room and the activity fee receipts were turned into the State Treasury. The operation of these departments through the State of Pennsylvania became so burdensome and ineffective, and tnere was so much opportunity to misconstrue the use of this money paid in by the students as taxpayers* money, that the Board of Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges appealed to the Attorney General's Office through Doctor Rule to have the book room and the activity fee operated through a student-faculty cooperative organization, thus making it possible to operate these functions just as any student activity is operated in the College. There are scores of organizations in the Colleges collecting dues and controlling their own activities in every way. Our appeal was to set up a student organization that would make it possible for us to operate the book room and the activity fee in the same way as other organizations operate on the campus. In formal opinion No. 70, dated October 31, 1932, a copy of which is attached hereto, we were given to understand that it would be entirely legal and possible for us to set up such an organization to control the book rooms of the Colleges. On the day we v,ere instructed to put this new type of organization into effect, we were also instructed to administer the activity fee in the same way, using the same organization in the College to function in this respect. A Constitution and By-laws was adopted and approved by the Board of Trustees of each College. A copy of this Constitution as it affects the State Teachers College, Indiana, Pennsylvania, is attached hereto. Since all students were asked to contribute the membership fees to support the activity fee of the College, someone raised the question as to whether this fee did not then become a part of the fee system and ought, therefore, to be turned into the State Treasury as receipts of the College. The auditors of the Auditor General's Department have raised this question in the audits of the Colleges for the last fiscal year. Under date of November 27, 1934, another formal opinion No. 155, was issued by the .attorney General's Office which plainly states that it would be possible for the Colleges to operate this activities program through a cooperative association, but stipulates that the membership in this organization must be entirely 'voluntary'. This word 'voluntary' is causing all of our trouble. There is a general feeling that if this organization is operated upon a voluntary basis, we will lose so much revenue that the program will break down in all of the Colleges. It is generally conceded that the modern college must educate not only along formal lines but must provide also social education by offering to students and faculties opportunities for education through participation in social projects generally grouped under the heading of extra-curricular -953- Honorable Charles J. Margiotti (2) activities. The proper control and organization of these so-called extracurricular activities is of particular and vital importance in a State institution which has, as its object, the preparation and education of It is these so-called teachers for the public schools of the modern State. extra-curricular activities as distinguished from the formal maintenance and instructional activities of the college that are supported by the socalled activities fee. The Board of Presidents respectfully invites your attention to Section 2009, page 147, and Section 2014, page 149, of the School Laws of Pennsylvania, 1933 edition, which state in part: Section 2009 Provided, however, in addition to such appropriations, the board of trustees may fix and charge such fees as may be necessary for the proper operation of the college. (Amended May 29, 1931, P. L. 243, Sec. 41; June 1, 1933, P. L. 1152, Sec. 11.) Section 2014. Normal Schools of the Cheyney control of the institutions The boards of trustees of the several State or Teachers Colleges, the Board of Trustees Training, shall have general direction and property and management of their respective and to the Fiscal Code, paragraph (a) of Section 206, page 15, of the 1929 edition which says: (d) To collect all amounts, payable by or for pupils, for instruction and maintenance in State-owned educational institutions, including State Normal Schools and State Teachers Colleges and respectfully raises the question as to whether or not these tv/o statements do not recognize the fact that the board of trustees has the authority to arrange for the collection of fees to operate both (a) the instructional and maintenance side of the institution and (b) the so-called extra-curricular side of the institution and is it not the intent of the section in the Fiscal Code that only those fees intended for maintenance and instruction are to be collected by the Revenue Department and deposited in the State Treasury. The administration of this work under our present procedure is a very great improvement over the system in effect when we operated through State procedures. We are appealing to the Attorney General's Office at the present time to ask to have this opinion reviewed to see if there is not some possible legal way that we could continue to operate upon our present basis. Respectfully submitted A F rib Fee Committee Board of Presidents State Teachers Colleges T. T. Allen, East Stroudsburg Robert M. Steele, California Francis B. Haas, Bloomsburg Norman V* Cameron, Vv'est Chester Charles R. Foster, Indiana, Chairman LESTER K. ADE . " -954- Doctor Ade stated that he would take the matter up with the Attorney General at the very earliest possible date. 7. Pre-summer and post- summer session for teachers in service Mr. Klonower explained that this item had been on the docket for some time and that the members of the Board had given it some consideration. There is a growing tendency on the part of colleges and universities to offer a more extended program during the summer for teachers in service and for those teachers who wish to qualify for the baccalaureate degree. Many of the institutions offer "pre-summer" and "post- summer" sessions in addition to the regular summer session of either six or nine weeks. It was the general feeling that the State Teachers Colleges should offer broader opportunities during the summer session for teachers in service. Doctor Steele stated that this problem brought up the question very definitely as to whether or not the Teachers Colleges should go on a quarterly basis. This ties in with the revised curriculums with which the Curri cular Revision Committee are working. Mr. Klonower stated that if we can work out a quarterly term bases, we might persuade school boards to release teachers during the school year to pursue courses for professional improvement for an entire quarter. Doctor Rowland stated that he was highly sympathetic with the thoughts expressed concerning the matter of an extended or lengthened summer session program and that he felt the Board might suggest to Doctor Ade the appointment of a small committee of the Board to think through this matter and report at a subsequent meeting or in time that something definite might be planned for the summer session of 1S36. Doctor Ade stated that if such a committee were appointed, he would like to see it empowered with a broader function. He felt very definitely that there is another great uncultivated field, namely, in-service teacher education. He suggested that the committee consider this matter and that it should be one of the parts of a broader program to be developed. -955- Doctor Ade further stated he felt that the colleges were doing excellent work with the pre- service program, but he felt that as far as serving the needs of the Commonwealth for in-service education, we should have a much better and broader program. On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Rowland it was voted that the Superintendent appoint a committee to work out some suggestive plan for an extended summer session program, as well as, a more extended program for in-service preparation for the teachers of the public schools. Doctor Ade asked for suggestions as to the personnel of the committee. Doctor Allen stated that inasmuch as this problem is tied up very definitely with the revision of curriculums which is a very vital problem at the present time, he would like to suggest the appointment of the Chairman of the Curri cular Revision Committee to membership on this committee. Doctor Foster suggested the appointment of Doctor Miller and Doctor Ross to this committee. Doctor Ade, therefore, appointed the following committee: Doctor Miller, Chairman, Doctor Ross, Doctor Steele and Doctor Tanger, and asked that they submit a report at the next meeting of the Board. Doctor Rowland stated that we now have approximately forty thousand teachers in Pennsylvania without the college degree and many of them will ?/elcome an opportunity to come back into the institutions under favorable conditions and complete their preparation for a degree, Doctor Ade asked that the committee take into consideration the comments made and prepare a report for the Board. III. New Business 1. Composite advertisement in the Pennsylvania School Journal Mr. Klonower explained that the contract with the Pennsylvania State Education Association with respect to the composite advertisement which appears on the back cover page of the School Journal for ten issues, from September to and including June of each year, expired with the June issue. If the members of the Board wish to continue the composite advertisement, it is necessary to enter into a new contract. Mr. Klonower further explained that this year there is to be a change in the size of the School Journal and the rates will be increased slightly. Doctor Kelley as Executive Secretary of the Pennsylvania State Education Association, had written Mr. Klonower a letter explaining the new rates for the advertising space. A copy of the letter follows: -956- July 18, 1935 "krv Henry Klonower Chief, Teacher Division Department of Public Instruction Education Building Karri sbur g Pennsylvan ia , My dear Mr. Klonower: We shall be very glad, indeed, to have the State Teachers Colleges continue to use the back cover of the Journal for the composite advertisement for the school year 1935-36, as they have done for the past few years. As you know, the Executive Council is changing the Pennsylvania School Journal beginning with the September issue to a standard size of magazine, such as, Time, a Journal 8-^" by llg " The Literary Digest, and about twenty-one other State Education Journals, thus a Journal which for eighty years, as far as format is concerned, has been changeless amid unceasing change, succumbs to the new order. The Journal will be streamline in many respects and will, without doubt, be a much more creditable house organ than our present magazine. , The Chicago office of State Teachers Magazines, Inc., has provided us a new rate card based upon our new Journal. Our new rate card and advertising prospectus are now in the hands of the printer, but I will see that a copy of each is sent you as soon as copies are available. Our rates are up somewhat but this is the first time that our rates have been changed since July, 1925, when our circulation was 55,061. Our circulation at the present time is 58,083 with a possible increase of 2,584, totaling 60,667, depending upon legislation now pending to distribute the Journal to the 2,584 school board secretaries of the Commonwealth. Should th-> Board of Teachers College Presidents feel that the new rate for the back cover, $250,00, is too high, perhaps they would be willing to shift to the inside of the front cover or the inside of the back cover at ,£225.00 an issue. The new regular full page rate (not preferred position) is £200 an issue. Assuring you of our great desire to continue the splendid cooperation we have enjoyed with the State Teachers Colleges, I am Very truly yours J. Herbert Kelley Executive Secretary Pennsylvania State Education Association" -957- Doctor Ade asked whether or not this ad could not be changed from time to time in order to give more variety and perhaps make it more forceful. On motion of Doctor Ross, seconded by Doctor Foster it that the composite advertisement of t he State Teachers voted was Colleges be continued on the back cover page of the Pennsylvania School Journal at the new rate of |250.00 an issue, beginning with September 1935 and ending with June 1936, with the provision that the form of the advertisement be changed from time to time. 2. Meeting of Deans of Instruction Mr. Klonower explained that some time ago the Board had authorized a meeting of the Deans of Instruction, but because of extenuating circumstances, the meeting was not held. He further stated that from the point of view of the work in the Teacher Division and because of interpretations that have to be made from time to time, it would be extremely helpful and professionally stimulating if a meeting of the Deans were held each year. On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Miller it was voted that the meeting of the Deans of Instruction be held in October during the time of the Education Congress. 3. Expense accounts of the Presidents Doctor Foster stated that he felt it was professionally unsound to adopt a policy restricting the Presidents in the matter of rendering service in their areas. Expenses for such service did not involve a great amount of money but there was a principle involved. When a request was made for the President of the College to render a service to any district within his service area, of course in a professional matter, it should be granted and the expense considered a legitimate expense against the approved traveling item of the College. Doctor Rohrbach raised the question as to what should be done with the expense accounts of the instructors in the Teachers Colleges who go into the field and perform duties in connection with their work at the College. There are cases when a local district asks for help from the College and they do not have funds to pay even as much as the traveling expenses, and in such cases the College meets the expense, because it has been felt that such services are professional in character and do represent legitimate expenditures on the professional side of the institution. -958- Doctor Foster stated that there should be some policy or statement to the effect as to what expenditures could be charged against the traveling item of the approved budget as far as the Presidents and instructors are concerned in order to avoid any embarrassment in the future. Doctor Ade informed the members of the Board that he consider the matter and advise the Presidents. would 4. Sheepskins for the graduates at the close of the summer session Mr. Klonower stated that there will be some slight delay in mailing the sheepskins for the graduates of the summer session classes. Orders could not be approved until such time He thought it might be advisable as the money was made available. to prepare a "dummy" of some sort in anticipation of this delay. 5. Student teaching credit for teachers with five or more years of experience in the public schools Doctor Foster stated that this is becoming an increasingly difficult problem to handle because many teachers with teaching experience are returning to the colleges to complete the work for the degree and many of them have had a course at some time or other in "practice teaching"; others feel that they should be allowed to substitute successful teaching experience for this requirement. It would seem that in the light of the changing conditions, a change in policy with respect to the student teaching requirement should be set up. it appeared that I*, many cases, teachers with successful experience could take other courses in lieu of the student teaching with considerable profit to themselves, Doctor Rohrbach stated that he felt a very good way in which this could be done, and which he had seen worked out very satisfactorily, was to ask the teacher to work out an actual project in the schoolroom where he or she was teaching under the supervision of the Director of the Training School of the College. V.hen the Director of the Training School was satisfied that the project was a good one and produced results, then the institution allowed credit for the student teaching requirement as required for graduation by the college or university. This, of course, was only done in the case of teachers who had successful teaching experience and it was felt they could profit more from such a project than they could by repeating the student teaching course. -959- Doctor Rowland stated that he agreed with the thought expressed by Doctor Rohrbach and that they had done this at Shippensburg in one or two circumstances with experienced teachers. He felt that it had worked out very satisfactorily. He further suggested that the Curricular Revision Committee might be the appropriate committee to take up this matter and work out some uniform policy H 1 466 1 2 81 •a 1 5 1 as as as I u o • 1286 1 • ""1 i p. ft a 7 1 « • • • • - a a u a w) *< t-i Taasron Tinier a £ |H •H 6124 j«80 ICtfAI. idUM 8 E 8 «o ! if H O " {J Mo • 1 1 1 41 224 8 2 1 7 1 - - 1 • - 8 8 • 1 29 42 18 B - - 60 - 1 2 - 110 - - - - - H 17 11 - ' 6 - "2" 7 6 1 1 14 • - - 8 • 87 - - 1 i - - «« 4 1 i - - " 2 1 1 - - - 28 - - 4 8 1 8 - - 4 - 31 8' - - • - 2 1 - - 2 - 2 1 12 - • 17 z - 4 - - 8 62 26 4 84 1*U 4KK 4AH «10 67S 408 886 1122 i - j COMPARATIVE STUDENT ENROLLMENTS IN SUMMER SESSIONS STATE TEACHERS - !

The meeting was called to order by the Chairman at 9:30 o'clock, The following were present Francis B. Haas Robert M. Steele Leslie Pinckney Kill G, C. L. Riemer T. I. Allen Carmon Ross Charles R. Foster A. W. Rohrbach Q,. Dallas W. Armstrong William R. Straughn Land is Tanger Albert Lindsay Rowland Charles S. Miller Norman W. Cameron Bloomsburg California Cheyney Clarion East Stroud sburg Edinboro Indiana Kutztown Lock Haven Mansfield Millersville Shi pp en sburg Slippery Rock West Chester Lester K. Ade Chairman Henry Klonower Secretary , , I. Approval of the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Presidents held in Harri sburg ~July 24, 1935 On motion of Doctor Armstrong, seconded by Doctor Riemer it was voted that on page 962 of the Minutes of the Meeting of the Board of Presidents held July 24, 1935, paragraph 3, lines 5 and 6, the following words be deleted: "so advised by the Superintendent of Public Instruction and had later been." The sentence will then read as follows: "They had been inspected and investigated by the proper persons designated by the State Council." -965- On notion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Armstrong it was voted that the minutss be approved as corrected. II. Unfinished Business 1. Report of the Curri cul^r Revision Committee A. Revision of curri culums Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision Committee, reported for the committee. He stated that the committee had under consideration the revision of curri culums for some time, but the committee was not ready to make final recommendations at this time. He asked that the President, or the Dean in the institutions offering special curriculums, study the curriculum within his institution and refer any suggestions with reference to modifications of such curriculums to him for consideration of the entire committee. He further stated that he had recently met with a committee of the American Library Association and it was their feeling that the eighteen semester hours in Library Science v,ere entirely too few for a major in this field. He asked that the two institutions interested in the Library Science Curriculum study this curriculum with the thought of increasing the eighteen semester hours to thirty semester hours which is is the standard set by the American Library Association. On motion of Doctor Rohrbach, seconded by Doctor Straughn it was voted that the report of the Curri cular Revision Committee with reference to Item A be accepted and any suggestions made by the President be referred to the committee for further study and report at the next meeting of the Board. B. Student t eaching c redit for teachers with f ive or more years of experience in the public schools Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Committee, stated that the Curricular Revision Committee had held a special meeting Thursday, September 19, 1935, to consider the subject of student teaching credit for teachers ,7ith experience in the public schools. The committee submitted the following recommendation: "Candidates for a degree, who hold certificates below the level of the Provisional College Certificate and who have had three or more years teacning experience, may at the discretion of the President, complete the remaining student teaching -966- requirements for the degree in any of the following ways:(a) Earn the number of hours required, in the training school. (b) Perform an assignment of work in connection with regular teaching in the public school, such as the pursuit of a project in the student's major field, under the direction of the Director of the In such cases Training School. the candidate must be regularly registered in the college and may not earn more than a total of six semester hours credit in a single semester including all courses - carried. (c) The substitution of such courses as may be approved in the individual case by the President, for not more than half the student teaching requirement. The remainder may be or earned as in (a) or (b) above, in a combination of (a) and (b). Provided, that no credit toward graduation may be given for tenoning experience and provided further that the college records and the transcript submitted to the Teacher Division in support of the application for a degree or for a college certificate, shall show plainly the manner in which the remaining student teaching requirement was discharged." On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Miller and as amended by motion of Doctor Straughn, seconded by Doctor Haas, it was voted tnat the report of the committee with reference to credit for experience in the public schools be received and that final action on the recommendations be deferred until the November meeting of the Board. C . Curriculum - English Speech Doctor Steele stated that the committee was not ready to make a definite recommendation with reference to this curriculum at this time, but that a report would be made at the next meeting of the Board. -967- On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor voted to receive the report of the committee with reference to the curriculum in English Speech. .iJ-len it Eras 2. Report of committee re "modification of the lav/ for permanent certification in Pennsylvania" Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the Committee, reported for the committee. He felt that the committee could not make a definite recommendation with respect to this matter until the contemplated changes in the curriculums had been finally decided. He further stated that the committee would keep the matter in mind and make a recommendation just as soon as it was felt advisable. On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Hill it was voted that the report of the committee be received with thanks. 3. Report of committee re "recognition by Middle States association" Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the Committee, reported for the committee. He stated that the committee had no report to make, but that they would like to know from time to time what progress the several institutions are making with their application to the Association. Doctor Foster stated that he had received a letter from the Secretary of the Association to the effect that the application was received and would be given due consideration. Doctor Straughn stated that he had written for an application upon which to apply for accreditment within the Association. He also stated that Doctor McClelland, Secretary of the Association, was of the opinion tnat consideration of the pending applications would come up before the association at their October meeting and probably some of the Presidents, if not all of them, would be called before the Commission when the applications are reviewed. Doctor Rohrbach stated that he felt the only question which might arise and prove difficult, vrauld be the matter of endowments. This requirement as now set up in the standards for -968- accreditnent, the Colleges could undoubtedly not meet, but it was likely that some modif ication would be made since the State Teachers Colleges are State-owned and State-controlled institutions. Doctor Rowland stated that he felt this requirement could be met very comfortably because the State Teachers Colleges have the credit of the Commonwealth back of them and this surely should overcor.ie the question of endowment and this also was the sentiment expressed by Doctor McClelland when the committee met ..ith him some time ago. Doctor Cameron stated that he had made application for West Chester and that Doctor McClelland had intimated to him that the requirements might be changed and that it would be entirely possible for our Colleges to come in under the standard requirements. Doctor Rowland stated that as Chairman of the Committee he appreciated very much the illuminating discussions that had taken place. He further stated that it would be very interesting for the Presidents to review the cause 7/hich brought up this question of accreditnent and recognition by the Middle States Association. This had not been a very serious problem in the past because the number of graduates in the secondary curriculum was small, but as this group of graduates increases from time to time, the matter v/ill become more complicated. Doctor Roaland asked if any additional Teachers Colleges had applied for membership? It appeared that the status was the same as at the last meeting of the Board, Indiana, West Chester and Shipp ensburg were the only institutions which had made formal application. 4. Report of committee re "uniform fees, deposits and repayments in the State Te achers Colleges" activj ty , - f ee Doctor Foster, Chairman of the Committee, reported for the committee. He stated that the matter had been raised at the last meeting of the Board and the committee had submitted a very complete report to the Board and to the Superintendent for transmittal to the Attorney General. Doctor Ade stated that the report of the committee had been transmitted to the Office of the Attorney General, but thus far that office had not been able to act on the case. -969- Doctor Hill stated that he would like to have the committee on uniform fees consider the matter of an adjustment At Cheyney they are in the fees for the special curriculums. especially concerned with the special fees for the Home Economics and Industrial Arts Curriculums. He stated that some of the better students who would make the best prospective teachers are not able to pay what they think is an excessive fee in these special curriculums. Doctor Rowland suggested that it might be appropriate to consider a special fee for Cheyney in these two special fields since Cheyney is facing perhaps a unique situation and should undoubtedly be encouraged to promote these two fields to the fullest extent. On motion of Doctor Rov.land, seconded by Doctor Hill it was voted that the committee on uniform fees, deposits find repayments review the fees in the special curriculums for all schools and wit h special reference to Cheyney and report at the next meeting of the Board. 5. R epo rt of committee re " pre- summer and post- summer session for teachers in service" Doctor Killer, Chairman of the Committee, reported for the committee. He submitted the following report: "The committee reporting on Pre- Summer and Post-Summer Sessions for Teachers-in-Service met Thursday afternoon, September 19, 1935. Those present were: » ' Doctor Land is Tanger Doctor Robert ivl. Steele Doctor Carmon Ross Doctor C. S. Miller, Chairman Henry Klonower, Chief, Teacher Division The committee feels that the ultimate solution of the problem with reference to the matter of supplying available facilities for teachers-in-service who desire to complete the requirements of a four-year teacher preparation program at an earlier date than that which is nov possible because of the limited six weeks summer session is the organization of the college calendar en the quarter basis. The committee recognizes -970- the difficulties involved in making such a change from the present program during this biennium, but it recommends that a careful study be made by each President of the implications of such a program and that the matter be given further consideration at the January meeting of the Board of Presidents. The committee requests permission to study further the question and also report on the feasibility of such a plan at the January meeting. However, it is the committee's recommendation that immediate steps should be taken to provide additional instructional opportunities during the coming summer session and, to carry out its recommendation, it suggests: 1. That the 1936 summer session be six weeks in length and that each college have the option of offering a three 7/eeks pre- session or a three weeks post-session. 2. That the summer sessions open in accordance with the recommendations of the Calendar Committee. 3. That the committee desires time for study before making further recommendations on the larger problems of professional service for the areas." On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Cameron it was voted that the report of the committee re pre- summer and postsummer session be received and that the Presidents study the report as it affects the individual institutions and let the committee have their suggestions and recommendations for a further report at the next meeting of the Board. 6 . Report of coinmi ttee o n Athleti cs - Doctor Allen, Chairman of the Committee Transfer Students , reported for the committee. He stated tnat his understanding of the work assigned to the committee was that they snould tabulate all the rules and regulations and then send them to the Presidents and ask for the reaction -971- He further stated of the Presidents to the rules and reflations. process he was in of having Chairman the committee the as of that be x.ithin would sent the completed statement a verythis done and snort time.

Budgets for 1955-57 biennium No discussion on this item at the present time. 8. Meetings of teachers - bulletin Mr. Klonower explained that tie General Assembly of 1935 amended Sections 2101 and 2102 of the School Laws with reference to the meetings of teachers . v.as He further stated that the interpretation of the sections as follows: "Such meetings of teaciiers must be called by the County Superintendent and include the teachers under his jurisdiction. He nay assemble the teachers for two days or its equivalent each year 'at such tine and pla ce as he nay deer.: most convenient for the purpose of receiving instruction in the science and art of teaching.' This is to be interpreted literally. Each superintendent nay invite nenbers of the teaching and supervising staffs of other districts and institutions of learning within his county to attend such meetings, but it does not necessarily restrict him from inviting instructors from other places outside the county." III. New Business 1. Report of committee re "Calendar 1956-57" Doctor Haas, Chairman of the Committee, reported for the committee. He submitted a tentative calendar for 1956-37 for the consideration of the Board with the suggestion that it be studied and acted upon finally at the November meeting of the Beard. „ copy of the tentative calendar follow s: -972- "TENTATIVE CALENDS 1936-1937 Prepared by the Committee on Calendar: T.

Membership in the American Council of Education Doctor Rowland stated that ae had raised the question merely for information. He stated that he did not want to be the only institution which did not belong to the Association or the only Teachers College holding membership in the American Council of Education. Doctor Haas stated that he would like to have some information as to the advisability and advantages in holding membership in this association. Doctor Cameron stated that there are two classes of membership, the institutional membership and the individual membership. The various associations throughout the United States are members. Representatives are sent to the annual meeting each year. This meeting is usually held on Friday and Saturday of May each year. The fee for membership is $50 00 . Doctor Foster stated that he had attended the meeting in May of this year and that he felt it was ell worth while to belong to the Association and also to attend their meetings whenever possible. v. On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Rowland it was voted that Doctor ^de appoint a small committee of the Board to make an investigation as to the purpose, procedures and benefits of the American Council of Education, and also whether the Board as a whole could become a member or if the individual institutions had to apply for membership. Doctor Ahe therefore appointed the following committee to study this problem and report at the next meeting of the Board: Doctor Foster, Chairman, and Doctor Cameron. 3. Student teaching in s chool d is tricts without properly certificated teacher s Mr. Klonower stated that the tendeacy was growing to use students who were attempting to complete the student teaching requirement of an accredited institution in school districts without the supervision of a properly certificated teacher in the classroom. In some districts, this situation had even gone so far that the district had dismissed experienced certificated teachers and used the studentteachers, thereby saving considerable money. He pointed out that it was not legal to have & teacher teach in any public school without -974- proper certification and that it also was not permissible to have student- teacaers in a school without proper supervision. He further stated that in no case should a studentteacher who is trying to meet the student teaahing requirement of an accredited institution be allowed to replace an experienced certificated teacher in any school district. The School Lav; specifically states that no teacher may teach in the public schools without proper certification. 4 Restoration of the salary schedule Mr. Klonower called attention to the fact that in September the Edmonds *.ct restored the salary cuts to the teachers in the public schools. He raised the question whether the State Teachers Colleges should not restore salary cuts. Doctor Haas stated that by resolution of the Board, and in accordance with the set-up of the budgets, this matter was settled for at least the first semester of the present school year He did not feel that it should for the State Teachers Colleges. be raised at this time. 5 amusement Tax Act as it affe c ts the State Teachers Colleges Mr. Crosley stated that ne had been advised that the Revenue Department had prepared regulations with reference to the .Amusement Tax and that he would see that these regulations were placed in the hands of the Presidents. He further stated that he would secure blanks on which to apply for the exemption of the payment of the .Amusement Tax and forward them to the presidents. to The Board adjourned at 12:20 reconvene at 1:15. 6. luncheon and agreed f-jr Emergency Education Program - Teacher Education Mr. Klonower stated that an emergency education program had been initiated in certain of the State Teachers Colleges without cost to the institution; the cost being handled through the Emergency Education Relief Program. He also asked whether or not other State Teachers Colleges would be interested in such programs and whether or not they could house trainees in the dormitories. It appeared that all the Presidents were interested in such programs and would be glad to cooperate in any v.ay possible. -975- 7 Transportation Busses Mr. Crosley pointed out tnat a considerable amount of money could be saved the Cominonv. ealtli if each Teachers College had He suggested that each College a bus for transportation purposes. file a request for the assignment of an automobile and include a letter justifying the expenditure. On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Rohrbach vote d that the Superintendent be authorized to appoint a committee of three to consult Kith Mr. Harlacher of the Department of Property and Supplies and that this committee report to the Fresidents promptly as to the specifications and general instructions for filing a request for the assignment of an automobile. it -/.as Doctor x-xe appointed the following committee; Doctor Steele, Chairman, Doctor Rowland and Doctor Foster. 8 Policy re extension courses for non-public school gro ups Doctor Ross explained that the question had been raised with him because there is a G rou P of Sisters from one of the institutions in Erie that would like to come to the Teachers Colleges and take courses in Art Education. The matter was referred to the Superintendent with a request for a decision as to v.hether students might be enrolled if they were willing to pay tuition even though they ere not preparing to teach in the public echools. v. Doctor xxde suggested that Mr. Xlonower consult Mr. Denison and then ask for an interpretation from the Attorney General. 9 Projects for meeting provisions of Fire and Panic Let Mr. Crosley appeared before the Board and stated that certain projects had been approved under the P.W.A. and that piojects running over the ten thousand dollar mark v.oulu have to be supervised by the Department of Property and Supplies and architects employed for the project. Doctor Rowland stated that at the last meeting of tne Board it was felt that the amount set aside to take care of tne recommendations made by the Department of Labor and Industry could be reduced somewhat and that the original amount of $300,000.00 could be cut down if it were possible to be exempted from certain recommendations at this time. -976- Mr. Crosley stated that Doctor .*de had sent a letter the Secretary of Labor and Industry in which he outlined to the projects under consideration at the present tine in the various institutions with reference to the provisions of the Fire and Panic Act and asked at the sane tine whether sone of A reply had the reconnendations could be held in abeyance. been received in v."hich it was agreed that certain of the reconnendations could be carried out within the next year. Mr. Crosley further stated that if the Presidents would get in touch with him, he would give the information pertaining to the individual institutions. 10 Minimum fee for part- tine students (II-B ) Doctor Steele stated that this question had come up in their institution when the Auditors 7/ere making the audit, but in the meantime, the question had been answered satisfactorily. 11. Eligibility lists from the various institutions Doctor A llen stated that this item would be taken care of under Item 6 - Report of the Committee on Athletics. 12. Policy re smoking in dormitories Doctor Ross stated that he had asked for this item to be placed on the docket simply to ascertain v/hat was a reasonable and sane regulation Vvith reference to smoking in the dormitories. Doctor Straughn stated that he thought this tendency could be curbed somewhat if the fire hazards were pointed out to the students. The matter is one of administration. 13. Development of minors in secondary curriculum Doctor Ross stated that he had asked for this item to be placed on the docket for consideration by the Board. He felt that institutions which do not offer the special curriculums should be allowed to offer a major of eighteen semester hours in certain of the special fields such as Health and Physical Education and Commercial Education. He stated that it is possible for a graduate of the secondary curriculum to go to another institution and take eighteen semester hours in a special field such as Art, Music, Health, Commercial Education, et cetera, and thereby have this subject placed on the certificate to teach. He explained that if such an arrangement could be worked out, that is, just for teaching and not -977- supervision, he felt it would be a great benefit to the State Teachers Colleges. On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Straughn it was voted that the "development of minors in the secondary curriculum" be referred to the Curricular Revision Committee and that they be instructed to submit a report at the next meeting of the Board. 14. Education Congress - October 9-10, 1955 Doctor Ade explained that the preliminary announcement had gone out and there was no further statement at this time. The Public Education Bulletin of the Department contained a brief statement concerning the Congress and a further detailed statement would be included in the October issue of the bulletin which would be in the mails about October 2, 1935. He further stated that an effort was made this year to discuss trends in education throughout the United States and with special emphasis to the program in Pennsylvania. The Program Committee believes that it has developed an interesting program and that the speakers will have worth while messages. 15 Joint meeting of Liberal Arts Colleges and State Teachers Colleges - October 25, 1935 Doctor Ade briefly reviewed the minutes of the previous meetings of the "Joint Meeting of the Association of Liberal Arts Colleges and State Teachers Colleges" and stated that he r.as anxious to be kept informed concerning this matter because of the meeting to be held in Harrisburg October 23, 1935. He further stated that his notion of the whole matter of teacher preparation in Pennsylvania was that whichever institutions or group of institutions could do the best piece of v.ork for the public schools, those institutions should be given the job of preparing teachers for the public schools. Doctor Rowland stated that he felt there v.as a problem of constantly lifting the standards and giving some inducement to those teachers who lack the four years of preparation to return to the institutions and complete a four- year curriculum. Doctor ^.de asked what was the honest opinion with reference to the four-year level for all elementary teachers? Doctor Cameron stated that we have at the present time approximately forty thousand teachers who are on less than a fouryear basis and many of these teachers ara now attending the summer -978- sessions and Saturday classes to advance themselves professionally. Doctor Ade stated that he felt this whole matter was summed up in the question "How can we get the best teachers for the public schools of this Commonwealth?" 16. Tentative Enrollments in the State Teachers Colleges Mr. Klonower stated that the tentative enrollments were compiled to meet a need for the fiscal office in connection with the budget situation. He asked that not any publicity be given to the figures and that they be used for administrative purposes only. H.hen the figures are received as of October 15, 1935, the usual compilation will be made and the charts distributed. 17. Statistical Charts: A.

Approval of the minutes of the m a eting of the Board of Presidents held in Harrisburg September 20, 1955 , On motion of Doctor Tanger, seconded by Doctor Straughn it was v oted that the minutes of the meeting of the Board held September 20, 1935 be approved as submitted. , II. Unfinished Business A. Report of the Curricular Revision Committee 1. Revision of Curriculum Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision reported Committee, for the committee. He stated that there was no further report on this item at the present time. The committee is considering the revision of the curriculums, but is not ready to make recommendations to the Board. 2 Student teaching credit for teachers with five or more years of exp eri ence in the public schools Doctor Steele referred to the report of the committee with reference to this item as found on pages 966 and 967 of the previous minutes of the meeting of the Board. He stated that he would like to have the reactions of the members of the Board to the recommendations. On motion of Doctor Cameron, seconded by Doctor Miller, was voted that the recommendations with reference to the matter of accepting equivalent preparation in lieu of student teaching as recommended by the Curricular Revision Committee under date of September 20, 1935 be approved. it Doctor Hill stated that he did not feel sympathetic with the suggestion that credit for teaching experience toward graduation may not be granted. He explained that in some cases teachers with successful teaching experience desired to return to the institution and complete the work for the degree. Where credit is not granted for teaching experience, it ;.orks a hardship and is somewhat unreasonable. He felt that the evaluation of suca experience should be left to the President or the Dean of Instruction and that such oases should be decided on individual merits. -981- Doctor Ross asked whether replies were received in response to the letter sent to the Deans of Instruction and what were the reactions? Doctor Steele stated that the Deans did not quite agree as to the method by which this student teaching should be completed. The replies received were so diversified, he felt the matter should be brought up again for discussion. Doctor Foster explained that he had gone over this very matter thoroughly v>ith Dean Walsh and several suggestions grew out of the discussion which he would be glad to give to the Chairman of the Curricular Revision Committee for consideration. He stated that one very important question had come up at Indiana, namely, whether or not the standards set up by the American Association of Teachers Colleges for supervised practice teaching would be met. Doctor Haas suggested that there be added to the recommendations the phrase, "provided that in any case the standards of the American Association of Teachers Colleges for supervised practice teaching must be met." Doctor Tanger stated that he felt the group that started to teach on the State Standard Limited Certificate had begun with the thought of continuing their preparation until four years will have been completed. A great many of these teachers are teaching in districts where the supervision is not so close. Many such teachers are in rural sections where it is not possible to give much supervision. For this reason, perhaps it would be better to have this particular group complete the student teaching requirements as prescribed. Doctor Steele stated that the principle involved was whether each case should be treated as an individual case; the President and the Dean of Instruction study the case and advise what is needed in the particular case involved to make a better prepared teacher for the public schools. Doctor Haas asked whether the Deans of Instruction discussed the matter at their recent meeting. Doctor Steele stated that the matter was discussed, but the Deans did not come to a common agreement with respect tc the additional student teaching required for experienced teachers who return to the institutions to complete the requirements for the degree. Doctor Haas stated he felt that the question should be given more thought and that some of the suggestions made by Doctor Foster should be studied. He suggested that the matter be referred to the Curricular Revision Committee for a further report at the next meeting of the Board. -982- . Doctor Cameron stated that he was willing to withdraw his motion because it was made with the thought of getting the matter before the Board for discussion and not with the idea of closing the subject without further discussion. Doctor Miller also agreed to withdraw his second to the motion. On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Hill, it was voted that the question of student teaching credit for teachers with five or more years of experience in the public schools be referred again to the Curricular Revision Committee for further study and report at the next meeting of the Board. 3. Curriculum - English Speech Doctor Steele stated that a committee had been appointed by the State Council of Education to investigate the general problem that is involved in the matter of additional curriculums or the extension of curriculums. The Curricular Revision Committee, therefore, felt it inadvisable at this time to make any recommendations in light of the work of this special committee and will await the report of the committee to the State Council of Education. Doctor Ross asked whether the Board could be advised today as to the personnel of the Committee? Mr. Klonower stated that the State Council had appointed Doctor LeRoy A. King to represent the Council and Doctor Ade had assigned the Secretary of the Board of Presidents as the other member. He explained that the committee expected to make a preliminary study within tiie next month. 4 Development of Minors in the Secondary Curriculum Doctor Steele stated that the Curricular Revision Committee would hold in abeyance their report on this item until the special committee of the State Council of Education had made a report with reference to the extension of the curriculums. On motion of Doctor Riemer, seconded by Doctor filler, it was voted that the report of the Curricular Revision Committee as submitted by the Chairman, Doctor Steele, be received with thanks. B . Report of committee re "modi f i cat ion of the law for permanent certification in Pennsylvania " Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the Committee, was not present at the meeting. -983- C. Re port of committee re "recognition by Middle States Association Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the Committee, reported for the committee. He stated that ne had received a letter from Doctor V/ilson Farrand Chairman of the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education, in which he acknowledged receipt of the applications of those State Teachers Colleges that had made application for admission to the Middle States Association. He suggested in his letter to Doctor Rowland that the Board of Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges arrange to have representation at a meeting of the Commission which will be held Tuesday, November 19, 1935 in Philadelphia. , Doctor Cameron stated that he had b3en in touch ith Doctor Farrand and had had a very satisfactory talk with him. He felt that it would be a good thing for the entire committee to arrange to be present at the meeting in Philadelphia. v. Doctor Rowland was of the opinion that the Teachers Colleges eventually receive the recognition they deserve in order to be accredited, but it would undoubtedly take some time. Hov.ever, he felt this was the best that could be done for the present and he asked Doctor Cameron to complete arrangements for the appearance of the entire committee before the commission on Tuesday, November 19, 1935 at 2:30 o'clock, in the Trustees' Room of College Hall, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. v.ould On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Cameron, it was voted that the matter be referred to Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the Committee, with the suggestion that he arrange to have representation at the meeting to be held in Philadelphia, Tuesday, November 19, 1935. D. Report of committee ro "u niform fees, deposits and repayments in t he State Teachers Colleges" - Activity Fee Doctor Foster, Chairman of the Committee, reported for the committee. He stated that there as no change in the status of the situation. The matter had been referred to the Office of the Attorney General through the Superintendent of Public Instruction. No report had been received to clarify the situation. ;. Doctor Steele stated that this matter -as called to the attention of the Auditorswhen the regular audit war made at the State Teacners College, California, and the Auditors agreed to include a statement relative to the activity fees in the audit. In tnis \.ay they might be able to get an opinion from the Attorney General's Office. -964- On motion of Loctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Riemer, was voted to accept the report of the committee. E. it He port of co mm ittee re "pre- summer and post- summer session for teachers in service " Doctor Miller, Chairman of the Committee, reported for the committee. He stated that the committee had no further report to make since he had not reaeived many replies to the suggestion made at the September meeting of the Board, namely, that each President make a study of the situation in his service area and advise the committee. If this information is received, the committee will have a detailed report to present at the January meeting of the Board of Presidents. Doctor Rowland stated that he had circularized his service area and those in the area favored a six reeks session plus a three weeks session. Doctor Steele stated that the Deans of Instruction had considered this subject at their meeting and that they favored a six eeks session plus a three weeks post- session. They had discussed this question at some length and ssemed to agree that a six v,eeks session and a three weeks session as separate units, rather than a nine weeks session, would be better for administrative purposes. v. Doctor Haas raised a question concerning the salary for the additional three weeks session; would it be increased for the three weeks session on a pro rata basis, that is, one-half of the regular six weeks salary or one- twelfth of the thirty- six "weeks salary. He felt this should be considered at once because it would have to be taken care of in some maimer on the Salary Qualification Schedule v.hich now includes only the regular session of thirty- six veeks and the summer session of six v.eehs. Doctor Miller stated that this was a phase of the question which probably ougnt to be considered by the Committee on Salary. On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Miller, it was vote d to accept the report of the committee and authorize them to continue the study and make a further report at the January meeting of the Board as originally planned. F. Report of committee re "Calendar for 1956-1S57 " Doctor Haas explained that in accordance with the usual custqm, the Calendar Committee had presented the calendar at the September meeting of the Board for study and consideration by the Presidents and had suggested that it be acted upon finally at the November meeting, A copy of the Calendar follows: -985- , , 1936-1937 "TENTATIVE CALENDAR Prepared by the Committee on Calendar: T.

R eport of the committee re '''Membership in the American Council on Education" - Doctor C. S. Marsh Doctor Foster, Chairman of the Committee, reported for the committee. He indicated that he had written to Doctor Zook, President of the American Council on Education and invited him to attend the meeting of the Board of Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges. Doctor Zook replied that he appreciated the invitation but it was not possible for him to attend. He would be glad to send Doctor Marsh to tell the members some of the things the Council was attempting to do, and the benefits derived from being a member of the American Council on Education. Doctor C. S. Marsh, Associate Director of the American Council on Education, appeared before the Board. He said in part; "I appreciate the invitation to come before the members of the Board of Presidents of your State Teachers Colleges and give you v.hat information I can concerning the membership, organization and purpose of the American Council on Education. I shall center my remarks around three points, (1) What is the American Council on Education, (2) What are its objectives, and (3) What the American Council is doing. (1) The American Council on Education is an organization of Institutions and Associations, Colleges and Universities, Teachers Colleges, Technical Institutions and Accrediting Agencies. It has no individual membership by person, but rather by institution, association or accrediting agency. The total membership now is around three hundred and fifty institutions or associations. At the present time, I believe there are but thirteen Teachers Colleges, However, all the Teachers Colleges are eligible to membership in the Council. In the executive meeting of the Council, the Council voted to put the Association of Teachers Colleges on the same basis as other accredited associations and then following that action, we sent out a letter of information to the various Teachers Colleges to join the Association. The price of the institutional membership is $50.00 per year. The general objective of the American Council on (2) Education is to advance American education in any and all its •987- *. phases through comprehensive, voluntary action on the part of institutions and in the fulfillment of that purpose to initiate research projects, experimental programs and other similar enterprises as may be approved from time to time by the Council. Doctor Zook brought together about ten days ago a group consider the general question of the relationship of the school program to the building construction program. Doctor Zook thought it might be well to get under way such a study in conformity with the building code. It was felt advisable to have a more intelligent picture of what a school building ought to be with due regard to the curriculum and the recent changes in public education. There seems to be very little activity along this line at the present time. The architects are busy with drawings and plans, but there seems to be a need for that agency and the educators to get together for a comprehensive study. to Another of the very important projects under way at this time is the American Youth Commission. This is a project in which we expect to spend about one-half million dollars. It is a five-year program and we expect great things from this study. We have a small appropriation so far for a Motion Picture Institute, but prospects are good for a rather substantial fund for this project as it affects education in general. There is nowhere any compilation of materials of educational pictures. Under this heading will come the subject of Visual Education and the practices involved in teaching Visual Education. The American Council on Education publishes a Journal quarterly and an educational hand-book every four years. We are working on a revision of that book now and the Teachers Colleges of Pennsylvania will be in it. We think it represents one of the most authoritative documents on education in the world. We have a group working on a Cooperative Test Service. The Council has sponsored this to the amount of a half million dollars and the project will extend over a ten-year period. It is now in its sixth year and gives promise of being a great piece of work when completed. We have a number of committees operating; one of particular interest at the present time is the Committee on International Aspects of Education. We have just set up a Committee on Academic Freedom and Social Responsibility. There is much to be done in this field. There is a proposal to compile a dictionary of educational terms. This is something the educational field needs desperately. No publisher will undertake to compile such a volume because it does not look like a good commission project for the publishers. -988- The Council is now attempting a study of Educational Research covering tiie last twenty years. They want to bring together, interpret and «orrelate the efforts of educational research so that in the compass of one or two volumes we will find all the things written on the curriculum. A study is under way concerning the place and purpose of radio in our educational program. Another project on which we are working, but on which we have not yet made any public mention is the matter of research fellowships in the field of education. A study of the Master's Degree in the United States has been started. I, personally, and two assistants have been at work on this for some time. It is surprising under what conditions and pressures the master's degree has been granted. We could go on and elaborate on this point for some time, but when the volume is completed, I am sure it will give many of us something v.orth while to think about." Doctor Marsh in closing his remarks stated that Doctor Zook as President of the Council had sent a message for the Presidents to the effect that he was greatly interested in all their problems of education and noped that the American Council on Education might be enriched by such membership as that of the Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges of Pennsylvania. If and when the Presidents do take out membership in the Council, they will be asked to participate in any studies that are made and of course in turn will receive the benefit of such studies. He pointed out that if the Presidents had a problem and wanted to consult the American Council at any time, they were to feel free to do so. Doctor Foster suggested that the Board of Presidents give Marsh for his interesting presentation. The Board expressed its gratitude to Doctor Marsh for the helpful information which he brought to the members. a vote of thanks to Doctor On motion of Doctor Foster, seconded by Doctor Steele, it was voted that the Board of Presidents suggest to the State Superintendent that he approve requisitions for institutional membership in the American Council on Education. H. Report of committee on Athletics re "Transfer s tudents, Athletic scholarships, Professionalism and Spring and Pre- summer football training" , Doctor Allen, Chairman of the Committee, reported for the committee, He explained that the committee had been instructed at the last meeting of the Board to make a compilation of the present rules -989- and regulations governing athletic competition and forward the same to each President Tor study and suggested revision. As a result of the suggestions received, the committee recommended a slight change in Section 8 of the regulations; the section will therefore read as follows: "No student transferring from any four-year institution of collegiate rank, except from a regularly accredited Junior College, to a State Teachers College shall be eligible for any intercollegiate competition until after a year of residence. Where one year intervenes between attendance at an institution of collegiate rank and matriculation in a State Teachers College, a student so enrolled is not to be considered as a transfer and shall be eligible for participation in athletics." On motion of Doctor Tanger, seconded by Doctor Cameron, it was voted that final action on this recommendation be postponed until the next meeting of the Board and that in the meantime the Chairman of the Committee submit in writing to each President a copy of the recommendation for study. Doctor Allen stated that the committee did not have a report to make on "Athletic Scholarships", "Professionalism", or "Spring and Pre- summer football training", but that he had suggested the inclusion of these items on the docket for purposes of discussion. He explained that it was the general understanding of the members of the Board that no athletic scholarships are available in the Teachers Colleges. The committee called attention to Section 6 and stated that while the section did not specifically mention "Professionalism", it ha_d always been interpreted to include the term "professional". On motion of Doctor Foster, seconded by Doctor Steele, it was voted that the Athletic Committee be directed to make further investigation concerning certain alleged facts with reference to the management of athletics in the institutions and that a specific report be made at the next meeting of the Board* Doctor Allen further stated it was his understanding that the members of the Board were very definitely instructed by a past Superintendent of Public Instruction that there should be no spring or presummer training. This means that the dormitories are not to be opened until the dates indicated on the uniform calendar. -990- Doctor Cameroon stated that they allowed the boys to come in a day or two before college opened in order to practice and it had not caused difficulty so far because the students who do come in for this purpose, secure their meals in the town. Dean McClelland indicated that they had done this at Kutztown and as Doctor Cameron had stated, no difficulty had arisen from the practice. I . Report of committee re "transportation busses" Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Committee, reported for the committee. He stated that they are now working on specifications and it looks as if six busses will be purchased as the first assignment and that next year seven additional busses will be purchased if the plan works out satisfactorily. Doctor Steele further stated that the committee did not see how it could allocate six busses to fourteen institutions and obviously have everyone satisfied so they had recommended that the allocation be made by the Department of Public Instruction. He further stated, however, that the type of bus tentatively agreed upon was a Chevrolet bus, rather sturdily built and one which would comfortably seat between thirty and thirty-five persons. Mr. Harlacher of the Bureau of Motor Vehicles stated that he was well pleased with the type of bus that had been developed for this purpose and they had about decided upon the general specifications. Mr. Klonower stated that he and Mr. Crosley had conferred a number of times with Doctor Ade with reference to the allocation of the first assignment of busses to the State Teachers Colleges and they had tried to allot these busses on the basis of the need, currioilums offered within the college and other transportation facilities available to and from the college. J. Amusement Tax as it affects the State Teachers Colleges - Mr. Gavi n Doctor Haas stated that he had raised the question because it seemed that the regulations were interpreted differently in the several institutions and he felt that the regulations should be applied uniformly in all tne Teachers Colleges. He further stated that he had two questions which he would like answered; first, what activities are taxable; second, how should requests for exemptions be made? Mr. Hill, ^.cting Assistant Director, and Mr. Gavin, Counselor in the Amusement Tax Division of the Revenue Department appeared before the Board and explained that there are exemptions available for certain -991- kinds of entertainments which are purely educational or religious in character, but that athletic activities for which an admission fee is charged are taxable, and may not be exempt. Mr. Hill asked whether his understanding of the situation is correct; that is, all the activities carried on within the college are under the general jurisdiction of the college itself? Doctor Foster stated that this money is not paid into the State Treasury but is paid into the Student Cooperative Association. Doctor Haas stated that there is a large student organization and within that organization, smaller groups of organizations, but each group has as its advisor a faculty member. Mr. Hill explained that in no case are the student tickets taxable nor are the faculty tickets taxable, but where there is a charge for admission fee to outsiders, that fee is taxable. He further stated that the institutions are required to take out separate perr.iits for the athletic contests, that is, one for football, one for basketball, et cetera. Sach institution must take out an exemption that will cover all the activities of the school or its subsidiary organizations. Doctor Foster stated that he felt the misunderstanding had come about due to the fact that several of the institutions had exemptions for certain activities and the remaining institutions were not exempt from the taxes on the same activities. Mr. Hill stated that this situation would be corrected. Doctor Hill of Cheyney stated that sometimes they ask for a voluntary contribution from by-standers and wondered whether or not this amount was taxable. Mr. Kill of the Revenue Department stated that it could not be taxed because there was no regular admission fee. Doctor Haas explained that they wanted to invite the boys from the C.C.C. camps to attend some of the athletic games because they felt it was good for them to have this kind of recreation and at the same time they did not want to charge an admission to this group. Mr. Hill replied that if they did not charge an admission fee, then they could not collect the tax. -992- Mr. Gavin indicated that the permits and exemptions were good for the calendar year and suggested that the institutions apply for the permits and exemptions in December of this year so that the papers are in their hands January 1, 1936 for the entire year 1936. Mr. Hill stated that a copy of the Amusement Tax Act Regulations in printed form would be mailed to each State Teachers These regulations, he felt, would answer all the questions College. If such were and clear up any doubt in the minds of the Presidents. not the case, he suggested that the Presidents write directly to him in the Revenue Department and they would be very glad to assist in any way possible. On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Ross, it was voted that the Board of Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges extend a vote of thanks and appreciation for the very helpful advice given by Mr. Hill and Mr. Gavin in this difficult problem. K* Policy re extension courses for non-public school groups Mr. Klonower stated that this matter had been referred to the Office of the Attorney General and that a reply had not been received. Therefore, the status was the same as at the last Board meeting. L. Resolution of the Associatio n o f Liberal Arts Colleges and State Teachers Colleges in Pennsylvania for the Advancement of Teaching In reporting to the Board on the meeting of the Association of Liberal Arts Colleges for the Advancement of Teaching and of the State Teachers Colleges in joint Conference on October £3, 1935 in the Education Building, Harrisburg, Mr. Klonower briefly sketched the discussion that took place and then read a resolution which was presented by a small committee appointed by the conference. The resolution follows: "Be it resolved that it is the sentiment of the Association of Liberal Arts Colleges for the Advancement of Teaching and of the State Teachers Colleges in joint conference October 23, 1935 that: The minimum post-high school education of teachers for the elementary field be four years; for the secondary field, five years; that the State Superintendent of Public Instruction and the State Council of Education cooperating with all interested agencies be urged, at the earliest possible moment, to take the necessary ways and means to make these desirable goals possible." -993- The Board adjourned for luncheon at 12:20 and reconvened at 1:30 o'clock. III. New Business A. Increased requirements for the State Standard L imited Certificate Mr. Klonower stated that the suggestion had been made byteachers, administrative officers and representatives of teacher education institutions that the minimum requirement for the issuance of the State Standard Limited Certificate be raised from two years of preparation to three years for the initial issue, but that all the other requirements for its renewal be maintained as now pre scribed. He further stated that it seemed advisable before any definite action was taken to secure the best judgment of the college presidents, superintendents and supervising principals and that, therefore, a letter had been prepared outlining the resolution which would be sent out for suggestions and criticisms. Doctor Rowland stated that he did not feel it was necessary to take this intermediate step, but rather that we could go immediately to the four year level for all teachers. Mr. Klonower stated that if and when the Superintendent of Public Instruction approved, such a letter would be sent out and the members of the Board would be advised from time to time concerning the situation. B. Nursery Schools as a part of the demonstration and laboratory opportunities in the State Teachers College s Mr. Klonower stated that we had hoped to have by this time a statement as to what constitutes a standard Nursery School. In two of the institutions a Nursery School had been operated very successfully for the kindergarten-primary and intermediate groups. Doctor Ade was interested in this situation and he had discussed it with Mr. Klonower and the Presidents of the Colleges which had operated the Nursery Schools. Doctor Rowland stated that they had operated a Nursery School as a part of the observation and demonstration school and had children from the ages of eighteen months to twenty years. He felt that this activity should be considered very definitely as a part of the regular program. Mr. Klonower suggested that the item be placed on the docket for further discussion at the next meeting of the Board. -994- C. Modification of the enrollment report on page 3 . Doctor Steele stated that he felt the Board should authorize a small committee of two to work with the Teacher Division in the modification of the enrollment report. This modification and correction was made necessary due to certain changes in the curriculums since the enrollment report was originally prepared. On motion of Doctor Allen,, seconded by Doctor Ross, it vct ed that the State Superintendent be asked to appoint a committee" of two to work with the Teacher Division of the Department in bringing the enrollment report blank in line with the recent cnanges in the curriculums.vvas D. Facts and Comments Regarding the State Teachers Colleges This item referred to the report prepared by Riemer and his committee for presentation to the State and the members of the Joint Committee of Liberal Arts Presidents and State Teachers College Presidents. Mr. stated that the then State Superintendent had approved graphing the report for distribution to the members of committee who had attended the meeting. Doctor Council College Klonower mimeothe joint It was pointed out that the report is no\'<- in mimeographed form and ready for distribution if the Presidents so agree. Doctor Allen stated that he felt all the Presidents were appreciative of the effort made by Doctor Riemer and his committee in compiling this report, but he wondered if the group receiving the report would construe it to mean that each of the presidents of the State Teachers Colleges had given his approval to the complete report. On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Riemer, it was voted that the report "Facts and Comments Regarding the State Teachers Colleges" be given careful consideration by each of the Presidents and that it be discussed again at the next meeting of the Board, but that no distribution be made in the meantime. E. Service Areas of the State Teachers Colleges Doctor Rowland stated that they had had some correspondence with reference to the service areas of the State Teachers Colleges and especially where the counties were shared by two or more institutions. -995- h The present service areas have been in effect since 1920 and it seems advisable to have a study made of the service areas in connection with improved roads, recent railroad, and bus developments. A copy of the service areas as developed in 1920 follows page 998 as Exhibit "A". Doctor Rowland also stated that the population figures needed revision, because it is very likely that these have changed considerably in the several counties. He suggested that a small committee be appointed to review the situation. Doctor Haas stated that he felt if such a committee were appointed, they should take into consideration the special curriculums offered in the several institutions. On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Tanger, Superintendent be asked to appoint a small committee to review and bring up to date the service area allocations and also to study the question of special curricula offered in the several institutions. it was vot ed that the State F. Printing Requisitions Mr. Cresswell, Editor for the Department, appeared before the Board and distributed a mimeographed sheet of instructions for all "special bid" printing jobs. A copy of this report follows page 998 as Exhibit "B". ^ * lime limit for the issuance of Standard Limited Certificate t e State Doctor Rowland stated that this item was placed on the docket at his suggestion and he wanted to offer a resolution for the consideration of the Board, but not with the thought of having it acted upon officially. The resolution follows: "WHEREAS, a minimum of four years of post high school preparation for teaching has been recommended by the Board of Presidents, the Association of Liberal Arts Colleges for the Advancement of Teaching and other professional bodies, and has been favorably considered by the State Council of Education, and WHEREAS, the State Standard Limited Certificate issued on the basis of two years of post high school preparation represents less than an adequate preparation for a teacher, and -996- 'WHEREAS, there exists no shortage in the supply of teachers in Pennsylvania to justify the continued issuance of this certificate, and many if not most of the young people now preparing for this certification would, to their own. substantial profit and the improvement of the public school service, undertake a four year preparation if required to do so, be it therefore VtfHEREAS, RESOLVED, that it be the sense of this Board that the further issue of the State Standard Limited Certificate may with propriety be discontinued, and be it further RESOLVED, that this Board respectfully recommend to the State Council of Education the discontinuance of the issue of this certificate as of. September 1, except for such persons as shall have entered 1937 upon a preparation for this certification prior to that date." , Doctor Rowland stated that he felt some definite action should be taken relative to the discontinuance of the issue of this certificate. No action was taken by the board. H . Aids to prospective rural school teachers Doctor Kiemer stated that he had reference to the course of study in Social Studies for the preparation of teachers of Grades 4, 5 and 6. This course makes no provision for the teaching of history covering the period before 1500, but when you come to the course of study prepared by the Department, it does suggest this preparation. On motion of Doctor Riemer, seconded by Doctor Armstrong, it was voted to refer tnis matter to the Curricular Revision Committee for study and report at the next meeting of the Board. I. Summary of Enrollments in the State Teac hers Colleges as of October 15, 1955 A copy of this chart follows page 998 as Exhibit "C". J . Meeting of the Deans of Instruction A copy of the docket as well as a copy of the minutes of the meeting of the Deans of Instruction follows page 998 as Exhibit "D". -997- K. Committee on Allocations Doctor Ade suggested the appointment of a sms.ll committee of the Board to assist him in devising a procedure for the allocation of the unexpended amounts of money in the appropriation to the State Teachers Colleges for the fiscal year 1935-36. Doctor Foster stated that he would like to see this committee consider the matter of restoring a part or all of the salary reductions of the instructors in the institutions. On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Allen, it was voted that the State Superintendent be authorized to appoint a committee to assist him in the development of a plan by which the unexpended money in the budget for the fiscal year 1935-36 might be allocated to the State Teachers Colleges. Doctor Straughn, The following committee was appointed: Chairman, Doctor Killer, Doctor Cameron, Doctor Ross and Doctor Steele, The Board adjourned at 4:15 o'clock. ~~f Approved: / T^h^J^JtO^ Superintendent -^-public Instruct! on"~^^. 998- ^ rA Secretary ) PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AREAS PENNSYLVANIA STATE TEACHERS COLLEGES Blooms burg State Teachers College Population County 54,725 Columbia 379,376 Luzerne-406 ,009 Minus-Pi ttst on- 18,975 Hughestov.n2,024 Avoca4,634 LuDont1,000 14,668 Montour 126, 390 No r t humb e r land 575,359 present allocat ion 451 539 , Clarion State Teachers Forest Jefferson Clarion Elk McKean Armstrong (North of Lit tanning) DuBois & Falls Creek (Clearfield) From DuBois southeast on Pittsburgh R.R. to Bridgeport and northeast on Penna.

Approval of every contract must be obtained from the auditor General, State Treasurer, Secretary of Property fend Supplies, Attorney General, Budget Secretary, and the Governor. It is advisable to write requisitions immediately for 1956 GENERAL and SUMMER SESSION catalogues and other official State-printed publications, even though manuscript is not ready. The following steps are suggested: 1. Determine whether or not there will be more or fewer 6" x 9" pages in 1936 catalogues than in the 1935 editions, and the number of cuts each will contain, (estimate number of pages in multiples of 4). 2. Determine the number of copies needed. 3. Determine whether or not the size of body type will be the same as in the 1935 issues. 4. Will the binding be the same (side wire stitched or saddle wire stitched)? 5. If cuts are to be inserted on a different paper, how many inserts will there be? 6. Determine if cover paper and inside paper are to be the same as in the 1935 issues, and if not, indicate cnoi ce (cover paper choice is limited to Eammermill Cover or its equivalent - indicate color). 7. Provide at least five copies of each of the 1935 catalogues to send with the requisition. 8. Write the requisition, giving the necessary information as determined from the seven preceding steps. On it give the names of at least three local or nearby printers whom you desire to have opportunity to bid. 9.

The meeting was called to order by the Secretary at 9:30 o'clock. The following were present: Francis B. Haas Robert M. Steele Leslie Pinckney Hill G. C. L. Riemer T. T. Allen Carmon Ross Charles R. Foster Q. A. W. Rohrbach Dallas W. Armstrong Landis Tanger Albert Lindsay Rowland Charles S. Miller Charles S. Sv/ope Bloomsburg California Cheyney Clarion East Stroud sburg Sdinboro Indiana Kutztown Lock Haven Millersville Shippensburg Slippery Rock West Chester Lester K. Ade, Chairman Henry Klonower, Secretary Doctor William R. Straughn, President of the State Teachers College at Mansfield, was not present. He was represented by Doctor Arthur T. Belknap, Dean of Instruction. I . Approval of the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Presidents held in Harri sburg, January 17, 1936. On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Miller it was voted that the minutes of the meeting of the Board held January 17, 1936 be approved as submitted. -1018- II. Unfinished Business A. Report of the Curricular Revision Committee Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision Committee, reported progress and suggested that no revisions of the present curricula be made until the State Council of Education has acted on the resolution advancing the preparation level for the State Standard Limited Certificate. B. Report of committee re "modification of the law for permanent certification in Pennsylvania " Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the Committee, reported for the committee and suggested that the problem be studied before the beginning of the next biennium. Mr. Klonower mentioned the committee of the Pennsylvania State Education Association headed by Superintendent Lillibridge. He suggested cooperation with this committee. It was agreed that the committee of the Board should work with the committee of the Pennsylvania State Education Association. C. Report of committee re "recognition by the Middle States Association" Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the Committee, stated that The the committee had no report to offer at the present time. situation stands as it did at the last meeting of the Board. He further stated that he had received no further communications from the Middle States Association and that he had made no attempt to communicate with the Association. Mr. Klonower emphasized the fact that the important problem is the recognition by the Middle States Association of the high schools in which State Teachers College graduates are teaching rather than the recognition of the colleges themselves. Doctor Rowland suggested that there are two ways to approach the problem; first, through the Secondary Commission of the Middle States Association either by a change in its rules or by the acceptance of the standards of the American Association of Teachers Colleges as equivalent standards thereby permitting State Teachers College graduates to teach in the secondary schools; -101O or, second, through the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association which could automatically include the State Teachers Colleges in the approved list either by reciprocity or by definite inclusion, in which case the Secondary Commission would have to accept State Teachers College graduates because the State Teachers Colleges would be members of the Association. Doctor Bohrbach then read the following letter as an example of the problem: "BLYTHE TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT Supervising Principal CUMBOLA, PA. E. J. Spelyng, Ph.B., A.M., April the Fourteenth 19 3 6 Keystone State Teachers College Kutztovm Penna. Attention; 0. A. W. Rohrbach Dear Dr. Rohrbach: Our school is a member of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. In a report of a recent survey, the Association lists three of our State Teachers College graduates with a minus term. May I inquire if Keystone State Teachers College or any of the other State Teachers Colleges are credited by this Association? We are anxious to be among the accredited schools in this Association, therefore we must conform to Standard Four (4) Preparation of Teachers, — Awaiting a reply, I am Respectfully yours (Signed) -1020- Spelyng Supervising Principal" E. J. -• - - :. .; i -'if' , ' *» Doctor Rohrbach added that superintendents and principals are careful that not more than twenty-five per cent of their teaching staff in the high schools are State Teachers College graduates. Doctor Rowland, Doctor Foster, and Mr. Swope stated that they had filed applications for accreditment by the Middle States Association, but as yet had heard nothing from the Association. Doctor Rohrbach asked whether it would not be helpful for a committee from the Department to meet with the committee of the Board of Presidents and meet with Doctor Grizzell in an attempt to straighten out the whole matter. On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Ross it was voted that the committee be requested to continue its study. Doctor Rohrbach requested that each president send to the committee a list of the high schools in his service area, indicate the number of teachers in the high scnools, and the number of the high schools that are accredited by the Middle States Association. It was suggested that this information be obtained directly from Doctor Grizzell rather than from the high school principals. On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Rowland it was voted that the report of the committee be accepted with thanks, that the committee continue its study, and that the Superintendent of Public Instruction be requested to enlarge the committee to include such persons in the Department of Public Instruction as may be responsible for the accreditment of secondary schools to meet jointly with the committee of the Board for consideration of the problem. D. Report of Committee on Athletics re "Transfer students, and Spring and Pre-Season football training" On motion of Doctor Foster, seconded by Mr. Swope it was voted that the recommendation before the Board to the effect that there should be no pre- season football training prior to the opening date of the college be tabled. Doctor Miller, Doctor Steele, Doctor Allen, and Doctor Ross voted "no" on this motion. -1081- E. Report of committee re "nodifi cation of the enrollment report on page 3" Doctor Haas, Chairman of the Committee, submitted the following report: "As authorized by the resolution of November 15, 1935, Doctor Ade appointed the following committee: Henry Klonower, Robert Steele, and Francis B. Haas, Chairman. Under date of January 8, 1936, the chairman sent the following letter to the members of the Board: the meeting of the Board of Presidents held Friday, November 15, 1935, provision was made for a Committee to revise the enrollment report. Doctor Ade has appointed the following Committee: Doctor Steele, Mr. Klonower, and myself as Chairman. •'At 'The Committee plans to meet preceding the next meeting of the Board, which is scheduled for Friday, January 17, 1936. I will be glad to have any comments that you care to have considered in preparation of a report. As Chairman of the Committee, may I call your attention to the fact that since these reports have now been carried on for a considerable number of years, it is highly desirable that any suggestions made should not vitally change the form of the present report so as to interfere with ease in securing comparative data. Nine institutions replied. Following is a digest of these replies: - (a) Insert cooperative curriculum along with other special curricula, (b) Attention called to the fact that some institutions in publicizing enrollment include special and extension classes. (c) Consider advisability of distribution of elective fields, (d) Arrange a report to distinguish between applicants for limited license and four- year course. (e) Consider advisability of additional report for students holding baccalaureate degrees. (f) Insert special class teachers along with other curricula. (g) Advisability of combining first semester and second semester of elementary education, (h) Advisability of eliminating four-year -1022- elementary in case of primary, intermediate, and rural, (i) Advisability that notation for kindergarten be eliminated, (j) That length of lessons in Minutes under class two be eliminated, (k) That notation for class four students be Eliminated. Four of the nine institutions of those reporting indicated that no changes are needed. The Committee recommends that each President secure from Mr. Klonower a copy of the blank report; that the suggestions for revision be made in the form of an actual editing of the report; and that this report be sent to the Chairman of the Committee, following which an actual proposed revision will be made. On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Steele, it was voted to accept the report of the committee. F. Report of committee re "service areas of the State Teachers Colleges" Doctor Belknap, representing Doctor Straughn, Chairman of the Committee, asked that the report of the committee be held in abeyance until the next meeting of the Board. G. Resolution to the State Council of Education re "advanced requirements for the State Standard Limited Certificate" Mr. Klonower stated that this matter had come before the State Council of Education at its last meeting and that definite action had been postponed until the May meeting of the Council. Doctor Ade stated that there had been some question about going ahead until all groups interested in the matter had an opportunity to study the resolution, particularly the Joint Educational Costs Survey Commission. He further stated that Mr. Andrews and his sub-committee appointed to study this matter had indicated approval of the resolution but that no formal word had been given to the State Council of Education. Mr. Klonower stated that a study had just been made the elementary teachers in Pennsylvania arranged by of all -1023- counties in order of rank in the percentage of college preparation. This study shows an increase in the number of elementary teachers having four years of preparation. The resolution now before the State Council of Education would require only three years of preparation for the issue of the State Standard Limited Certificate, Doctor Haas raised a question concerning the effective date of the resolution, since the catalogues of the institutions announcing a two-year curricula preparing students for the State Standard Limited Certificate had already been prepared. It was suggested that the effective date of the resolution might be set as January 1, 1937 rather than September 1, 1936 in order to keep faith with prospective teachers who might desire to qualify for teaching in the elementary schools in two years as announced in the catalogues. Doctor Ade appointed Mr. Klonower as Chairman of a committee consisting of Doctor Rohrbach and Doctor Steele to formulate a statement that would be acceptable to the Presidents in the event that favorable action on the resolution is taken by the State Council of Education. H. Service area professional meetings Mr. Klonower stated that there are many interesting and stimulating professional meetings being held within the service areas of the State Teachers Colleges. He suggested that copies of the programs of these meetings be sent to the Teacher Division so that a library of such programs might be built up and used for reference purposes by the Presidents. Doctor Ade raised a question at this point concerning the use of buildings of the State Teachers Colleges for meetings. It was decided that the problem was largely one for the Boards of Trustees of the institutions. It was the consensus of opinion that the State Teachers Colleges should refuse the requests of outside agencies for use of State buildings for meetings where such meetings involved the housing problem and were not directly related to teacher education. -1024- I. Solicitation of Students On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Miller it was voted that *his item be tabled. The Board adjourned at 12:50 for luncheon and agreed to reconvene at 2;00. J. Nursery Schools as a part of the demonstration and laboratory opportunities in the State Teachers Colleges Mr. Klonower stated that he had had a conference with the Emergency Education Group concerning this matter. He said that such schools might be established in the State Teachers Colleges if a need could be demonstrated. Doctor Steele stated that it is difficult to get proper personnel for the nursery schools. Mr. Klonower thought that it would be better to have nursery schools set up as a part of the regular curriculum, meeting all the standards of the college, rather than establish them as emergency education projects. Doctor Hill raised a question concerning the transportation of these students. Doctor Rowland stated that the parents of the children now enrolled in the nursery school at his institution arrange for the transportation. Mr. Klonower stated that a mimeographed statement setting up the standards for an ideal nursery school had been prepared and sent to Washington for the budgeting of the various items. As soon as this statement is returned, copies will be sent to each President. He further added that if nursery schools become a part of the progressive school district, we will have to develop a program for the preparation of teachers in this field. K. Budgets Doctor Ade stated that he was very much heartened by the full cooperation which had been given by the Presidents in the matter of balancing the budgets for the year. He was advised by Mr. Crosley that, with the exception of one or two institutions, all budgets can be balanced by the end of the year without drawing on funds for the next fiscal year. -1025- it Mr. Crosley stated that the use of the $200,000 allocated to the institutions by Doctor Ade for the provisions of the Fire and Panic Act is nor/ being held up because there is a possibility that a blanket allocation may be made to take care of the provisions of the Fire and Panic Act in all institutions. He added that Mr. Bashore of the Department of Labor and Industry is handling the matter for all departments concerned and he is dealing with Mr. Jones of the Works Progress Administration and with the Governor, who, in turn, is taking the matter up with Mr. Hopkins at Vfeshington. Up to the present time there has not been a definite allocation to the State of Pennsylvania. Mr. Crosley added that, as it now stands, there are three different allocations to be made; 1. The mandated requirements of the Department of Labor and Industry for removal of fire hazards as covered by the $200,000 already allocated. 2. The emergency lighting and fire alarm conditions that we had been unable to take care of with the $200,000 that had been allocated. It is expected that $200,000 will be allocated for this purpose. 3. Conditions detrimental to adequate safety. $200,000 have been set up for this item. Mr. Crosley advised the group to hold up bids already requested for projects under item one and that the contractors already assigned to the institutions be asked to draw up plans and specifications for projects under items one and two on the presumption that the money would be allocated. He suggested that the third group be left go until definite word is received from the Department. Doctor Ade asked for suggestions concerning the appointment of a Committee on Budgets, to take care of the next fiscal year. Doctor Armstrong suggested that the same committee serve this year that had served last year in order that the Board might receive the benefit of their experience. Doctor Haas stated that he had been chairman of that committee for three or four years and that he felt that new members should be appointed in order to give a fresh point of view. Doctor Steele and Doctor Foster agreed with this statement -1026- Doctor Haas suggested that a committee of five members be appointed rather than a committee of seven members which had constituted the Committee on Budgets for the last few years. Doctor Ade appointed the following committee: Doctor Miller, Chairman, Doctor Allen, Doctor Ross, We. Crosley and Mr. Klonower. III. New Business A. Report of committee re "uniform fees, deposits and repayments in the State Teachers Colleges" * Pre- summer or Post- summer Session Fees On motion of Doctor Foster, seconded by Doctor Rowland it was voted that students enrolled for periods of instruction differing from the schedule shall pay fees in addition on a pro rata basis of the schedule of fees provided for the regular summer session. B. Membership to the American Council on Education Doctor Haas stated that this item had been put on the docket at his suggestion and that it referred to the possibility of securing joint membership to the American Council on Education for all the State Teachers Colleges. Doctor Steele stated that he had understood from Doctor Marsh who had appeared before the Board at a previous meeting that it was not possible to secure group membership. Doctor Ade authorized Mr. Klonower to secure definite information as to the possibility of securing group membership. C. Report of Delegate to the meeting of the American Association of Teachers Colleges Doctor Steele, delegate of the Board of Presidents to the meeting of the American Association of Teachers Colleges held in St- Louis, emphasized two points: 1. A definite determination to start with the development of qualitative standards for the American Association of Teachers Colleges -10P.7- giving study to the North Central Association and the American Council on Education. 2. A recommendation that each member of the Board secure from the Association for the Prevention of Blindness their studies regarding the eye health of school children and the effect of lighting conditions in classrooms and dormitories. D. 1936 Testing program of Columbia University Mr. Klonower read a letter from Doctor Ben D. Wood, Director of the Bureau of Collegiate Educational Research of Columbia University, asking if the State Teachers Colleges would be interested in a five-year testing program. Mr. Klonower added that he had suggested that the whole project should be worked out in detail so that the President would have an opportunity to study the project. On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Rohrbach Wood be requested to appear before the Board at its next meeting to discuss the matter. it was unanimously voted that Doctor E. Communication from Mr. Philo Dix State Secretary Young Men's Christian Association of Pennsylvania , , Mr. Klonower read the following letter received under date of March 4, 1936 from Mr. Philo C. Dix, State Secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association of Pennsylvania; "Mr. Henry Klonower Secretary, Board of Presidents of State Teachers Colleges Capitol Building Harrisburg, Pa. My dear Mr. Klonower: Practically all the State Teachers Colleges have Student Y.M.C.A. s in their Student Bodies, and of course these are under the supervision of the State Y.M.C.A. of Pennsylvania which I represent. f . In the Middle Atlantic States a new movement has been organized called the Student Christian Movement which is entirely independent of the National YMCA or the Pennsylvania State Y.M.C.A, 1028- This new Movement is seeking to get the Student W.M.C.A.'s and Y.w.C.A.'s to affiliate with them which would in the long run of course mean the termination of their relationship to our Organization. There is no good reason why the State Y.M.C.A. of Pennsylvania should insist upon continuing to carry the responsibility for supervising the Student Work in the Colleges for which the financial support has been very meager if those who are most responsible for the Colleges really feel that the work could as well or better be done by this new agency. We have not felt however that this was a matter to be left to a competitive struggle for the loyalties of the students who are after all transitory factors in the situation and we are therefore seeking advice from the College Administrations with a view to determining whether there are enough colleges who feel concerned about the maintenance of this Y.M.C.A. relationship to warrant the continuance of our program. This issue is already being made sharply on a number of the college campuses in the Eastern half of the State. There has not as yet been much activity in the Western half but this will be inevitable. I am writing to raise the question as to whether the Teachers College Presidents would care to hear a presentation of the problem, as I see it, after which they could of course decide as to in what way, if any, they wish further to deal with it. Sooner or later this must be an administrative problem on the campus, and it is our feeling that the administrations have more, in the long run, at stake than the present generation of students. I will appreciate your taking this matter up in the appropriate way and will be glad if a period could be given me for a presentation on your regular agenda or we will be delighted to invite the Presidents to be our guests at luncheon at the Penn Harris on the date of one of their meetings here. Cordially yours, (Signed) Philo C. Dix State Secretary" Doctor Miller suggested that the matter was one for the individual consideration of each President. On motion of Doctor Foster, seconded by Mr. Swope it was unanimously voted that the item be tabled and that each institution handle the matter for itself. -1029- F. Formation of a Pennsylvania Teachers College Athletic Conference Doctor Foster read a letter from Mr. George P. Miller, Director of Athletics at the State Teachers College at Indiana, in which he stated the advantages of the organization of a conference of personnel connected with the administration of athletics at the colleges. Doctor Foster then read the following report of the material gathered from the State Teachers Colleges relative to the formation of an athletic conference. "To the Board of Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges March 19, 1936 There seems to be general agreement on part of the rules governing intercollegiate athletics among the teachers colleges, but some of these seem to be arousing a good deal of trouble and other problems have arisen that are not touched by the present rules. Unless these differences can be cleared up and the right relationships brought about the great values of intercollegiate athletics as they should be conducted in colleges preparing teachers for the public schools will be utterly lost. There should be a conference to work , out a plan: 1. To agree on a set of rules for the regulation of the varsity program. To promote a healthy growth of the program that will be a pattern for our prospective teachers to emulate. 2. To make sure that fair play, courtesy, generosity, self-control and friendly feelings for opposing school should not be sacrificed in the desire to win. 3. To draw up schedules for games, to designate the number of games to be played, to arrive at conference standing of teams. 4. To carry on the following functions; contribute to the efficient and successful administration of eligibility rules and athletic meets, publication of the results of the conference games, publications of approved lists of officials to handle the games, prohibiting or permitting post- season games and pre- season practice, regulating length 5. -1030- of schedules and using standard forms for records and reports and finally proposing standards for choosing coaches. Among the most troublesome specific problems are the following: 1. Subsiding of athletes 2. Spring football practice 3. Early fall football practice of school 4. Selection of officials for football and basketball 5. The organization of schedules, the number of games with teachers colleges, and similar matters. - before opening In the belief that these problems can be satisfactorily solved only by the men directly in charge of the athletic programs in the colleges it is suggested that each teic&ers college send not more than three representatives, including the athletic coach, to a conference at Harrisburg during the time of the state Track Meet in May, the members of this conference to be instructed to work out the rules and regulations to govern all phases of the intercollegiate athletic program for the teachers colleges and submit these to the Board of Presidents for approval." On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Tanger it was voted that the matter be referred to the Committee on Athletics, that this committee arrange plans for a preliminary conference of the representatives of the colleges to consider the matter of intercollegiate competition, and that the committee present the plans to the Board of Presidents at its next meeting. • &• A mandatory course, "Financing and Administering Public School Sy stems" Mr. Klonower asked that this item be held over on the docket for the next meeting of the Board. H. Procurement of recording equipment for Speech Correction work Doctor Rohrbach spoke of the difficulty he had experienced with the Department of Property and Supplies in purchasing equipment for the Speech Correction work at the college. He stated that the Department of Property and Supplies urged the purchase of cheap equipment which would not serve the purpose. -1031- Doctor Steele and Doctor F;o7/land also stated that they had experienced similar difficulty. Doctor Ade asked that Mr. Klonower follow up the matter with Mr. Crosley's office. I. T he granting of advanced standing to students from other colleges who are candidates for degrees in State Teachers Colleges Doctor flohrbach mentioned a specific case where a student who would have had to complete two years of work to graduate from the State Teachers College, Kutztown, was advised by a liberal arts college that she could graduate in one year and then, by completing eighteen semester hours in the field of art education at Kutztown, could be certificated to teach art. Mr. Klonower stated that the whole difficulty lay in the fact that the requirements for certification in the special fields should be thirty semester hours rather tnan eighteen semester hours, He suggested that this matter be held in abeyance until the State Council of Education has taken action on the resolution raising the level of preparation. J • Current policies concerning the status of faculty members Doctor Rohrbach stated that he had a member on his instructional staff who came in at the beginning of the master's degree level at a time when he was about to complete the work for the doctor's degree. Nov/ that he has completed his doctorate, there is no way by which he can be raised to a higher level. Mr. Klonower suggested that the matter is a budgetary one and that adjustments may be made with the approval of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. The whole question of the transfer of faculty members from one institution to another at an increase in salary v/as discussed. On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Miller it was voted that the Budget Committee study the problem of rank in the institution, the relation of salaries to rank, and the allocation of the higher salary levels in the various institutions for report at the next meeting of the Board. -1032- K .

A copy of the amendment and of the letter from Guy W. Swope advising the Superintendent of Public Instruction of this action follows page 1054 as Exhibit "F". -1033- IV. Miscellaneous A.

Exhibit "E" COPY COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA Departraent of Justice The Attorney General Harrisburg April 2, 1936 Honorable Clarence E. Ackley, Chief, Division of School Lav;, Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Dear Doctor Ackley: You have asked to be advised whether State funds may be used to defray the traveling expenses of instructors of State Teachers Colleges who are conducting extension courses. The Act of May 29, 1931, P. L. 243, Section 40, amending the Act of May 18, 1911, P. L. 309, Article 20, Section 2005, and the Act of April 25, 1929, P. L. 712, Section 1, provides: "The Board of Presidents of the State Teachers' Colleges shall consist of the presidents of the several colleges and the Superintendent of Public Instruction, who shall be the chairman, and the board shall elect a secretary. The board shall formulate the educational policies of the colleges. * * * a majority of all members of the board shall constitute a quorum, and any action favored by a majority of the members : • . i -2- Honorable Clarence E. Ackley shall, when approved by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, be binding upon all of the colleges." The Act of May 18, 1911, P. L. 309, Article 20, Section 2010, as amended April 25, Section 1, 1929, P. L. 712, provides: "It shall be the duty of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to prescribe all forms, and to give all instructions required for carrying into full effect the acts establishing and regulating the State Teachers Colleges on all points not herein set forth in detail." The General Appropriation Act of 1935 pro- vides in part as follows concerning the use of the sum appropriated to the State Teachers Colleges: "and incidental expenses; and for all other expenses of maintenance and operation necessary for the proper conduct of the work of the State Teachers' Colleges, and the Cheney Training School for Teachers, as may be authorized and approved by the Superintendent of Public Instruction * * *." This same provision was contained in the General Appropriation Act of 1933. It appears that the extension work involved here was properly authorized and established. The Board of Presidents -3- Honorable Clarence E. i^ckley of State Teachers Colleges, by a motion passed at a meeting held March 15, 1935, provided that the Teachers Colleges could furnish a certain number of extension courses. This policy of the Board of Presidents was approved by the Superintendent of Public Instruction. The Superintendent of Public Instruction also authorized expenditures for traveling expenses in connection with the extension work. It would seem that the traveling expenses of teachers conducting extension courses come within the above provision of the General Appropriation ^ct relating to Teachers Colleges. Such traveling expenses constitute an expense necessary for effectively administering a policy which has been made a part of the proper work of the State Teachers Colleges, and they have been authorized and approved by the Superintendent of Public Instruction. -4- Honorable Clarence E. Ackley, Therefore, you are advised that State funds may be used to defray the traveling expenses of instructors of State Teachers Colleges who are conducting extension courses. Very truly yours, F. Clair Ross, Deputy Attorney General ?OPY Exhibit "F" March 30, 1936 Honorable Lester K. .ade, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Earrisburg, Pennsylvania.

II. Unfinished Business •k* Report of the Curricular Revision Committee 1. Revision of Curriculums Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision Committee, submitted the following report and stated that the report was presented as the basis for consideration and discussion by the Board: "REPORT OF THE CURRICULAR REVISION COMMITTEE May 15, 1936 Pursuant to the principles laid down by the National Study of Teacher Training and subsequently adopted by this Board as the principles which should guide the study of the curriculum, your committee desires to present the following general pattern for a revision of the four year elementary and secondary curriculums. This pattern for the first two years is presented for study and discussion on the part of the Presidents and their staffs. 1. The first two years of the elementary and secondary curriculums shall consist of broad, basic, liberal cultural experience designed to acquaint the students with the major areas of human culture; to give the students opportunity and assistance in discovering and developing valuable and enduring interests; to give the teachers college staff opportunity to evaluate the students' fitness for teaching service and to furnish data for more intelligent and selective admission to the technical and professional preparation of teachers. 2. The amount of specific professional experience included in the first two years shall be small and shall be limited to courses vital to all citizens -1036- - not merely to those who will teach but also to those who will as laymen help to determine the content and the character of public school activities. 3. In the first two years or lower division every effort shall be made to furnish a rich social environment and experience in fine living. This period should provide opportunity to correct health or speech defects, to make up deficiencies in such subjects as art or music where in high school or grades the student may not have had the opportunity to reach an acceptable standard. 4. Throughout the first two years and continued during the upper division wide reading on current affairs shall be encouraged by means of the public forum and quarterly tests in contemporary affairs. This shall not constitute the basis for "required courses" but the results of such tests shall be used as a basis for study of the students' interest and alertness in significant current affairs. 5. Before admission to the upper division in which the more technical and professional work will be given, students will be required to meet such standards of health, scholarship, personality and character as may be set up in addition to present entrance requirements. Adequate records of the first two years and careful guidance with comprehensive examinations will furnish a more sound basis of selection. 6. The curriculum of the first two years shall consist of survey and sequence courses in the following general fields: a. Languages and Literature b. Social Science c. Natural Science -1037- d. Philosophy and Arts e. Health and Physical Education 7. The technical and professional work shall be concentrated in the third and fourth years and shall be integrated with observation, participation and responsible teaching in the laboratory schools. 8. Flexibility in administration of the third and fourth years of the elementary curriculum shall be allowed so as to attain as far as possible initial competence for the beginning teacher and continued professional and cultural growth for the experienced teacher seeking to meet four year standard certification. 9. This committee is now developing suggested outlines for study and criticism by Presidents Suggestions are welcomed in and their staffs. order to assist the committee in setting up the most productive arrangement of experience and courses in the time available for teacher education. Respectfully submitted T. T. Allen Q. A. W. Rohrbach Robert M. Steele Henry Klonower " Doctor Steele stated that the report was made with the thought in mind that the changes in the curriculums would affect all students entering the State Teachers Colleges and was not meant for students who planned to complete only the first two years of the broad cultural education recommended. On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Ross it was voted that the report of the Curricular Revision Committee as of May 15, 1936 be approved and that the Committee be authorized to proceed with the development of the suggested outline for further study and criticism by the Board at a subsequent meeting. -1038- English Speech 2. Curriculum 3 Aids to prospective rural school teachers - Doctor Steele stated that the committee wishes to report progress on these two items and asked that they be continued on the docket. Doctor Steele than read the following resolution for consideration by the Board: "Whereas, it is generally recognized by school administrators and by institutions engaged in the education and preparation of teachers that the present minimum requirement of eighteen (18) semester hours for certification in the secondary and special fields is inadequate to insure competent teachers in these fields therefore be it RESOLVED, That the Board of Teachers College Presidents respectfully request the State Council of Education to consider the advisability of reviewing all requirements for certification in the secondary and special fields. Respectfully submitted T. T. Allen Q. A. W. Rohrbach Henry Klonower Robert M. Steele " Doctor Rowland stated that he is opposed to the resolution because it is not possible to add more preparation to be earned within the four-year curriculum. He stated that he represents an area where there are small high schools and they will be unable to secure properly certificated teachers. Doctor Rohrbach spoke of the differentiation in professional training between the graduates from the State Teachers Colleges and from the liberal arts colleges. On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Miller it was voted that the resolution be adopted. Doctor Ross voted "no''' on this motion. -1039- Report of commi tt ee re "modi fication of the law fo r" perman ent certification in Pennsylva ni a " B. Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the committee, submitted the following report: "REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE MODIFICATION OF THE LAW FOR PERMANENT CERTIFICATION IN PENNSYLVANIA May 15, 1936 Tile present legal provision relating to the permanent college certificate appears in The School Laws of Pennsylvania as section 1317 which is cited here: ? : Tne Superintendent of Public Instruction shall issue a permanent college certificate to every graduate of a college or university approved by the State Council of Education of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and of such departments therein, as are approved by him, when such graduate furnishes satisfactory evidence of good moral character and successful experience of three years' teaching in the public schools of this Commonwealth on a provisional college certificate, and has completed such work in education as may be approved by the State Council of Education, which certificate shall entitle its holder to teach without further examination. The committee submits these proposals for the consideration of the Board of Presidents in respect to future practices for permanent certification: 1. A provisional college certificate shall be valid for five years from the date of its issue. 2. It may be renewed once for a period of five years upon the presentation of twelve credits of additional preparation attained since the date of graduation from college and acquired at an institution or institutions approved by the State Council of Education. -1040- 3. At the time of the expiration of the renewed provisional college certificate the holder shall be eligible for a permanent college certificate by presenting twelve additional credits of preparation acquired in the manner provided for the renewal of the provisional college certificate. 4. The committee solicits any constructive suggestions which you may have in evolving a plan which can be incorporated in a revision of Section 1317 of the School Code. Respectfully submitted Robert M. Steele G. C. L. Riemer Q. A. W. Rohrbach, Chairman" Mr. Klonower stated that this report corresponds in principle with the report of the committee of the Pennsylvania State Education Association. On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Allen it was voted that the report of the committee be accepted with thanks and the whole question continued on the docket for further study. C. Report of committee re "Recognition by the Middle States Associati on Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the committee, reported for the committee. He stated that he had written to Doctor Grizzell but had not yet heard from him. He stated that the committee v/ishes to report progress. Mr. Klonower stated that Doctor Ade had appointed Doctor Cressman and Doctor Fausold as representatives of the Department of Public Instruction to work with the committee. Doctor Rohrbach asked if it were not possible for the committee to make an appointment with Doctor Grizzell and his committee on secondary schools. Doctor Rowland stated that he would try to make such an arrangement. -1041- On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Miller it was voted that the report of the committee be accepted with thanks. D. Report of commi tt ee re "mod ification of the enrollment report on page 5" Doctor Haas, Chairman of the committee, reported that he had thus far received only three corrected copies of the enrollment report. He stated that the committee wished to have reports returned before a further report is made. at least eight E. Report of committee re "s ervic e areas of th e State Teachers Colleges " Mr. Manson stated that Doctor Straughn had no further report to submit to the Board at this time. F. Resolution to the State Coun cil of Education re "advanced requiremen ts for the State Standard Lim ited Certificate" Mr. Klonower stated that this item had been continued on the docket merely as a matter of record and that the Presidents had already received copies of the suggested uniform release on this matter. A copy of this uniform release follows page 1052 as Exhibit "A". G. Report of committee on S olicita tion of Students Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Committee, reported that an inquiry had been sent to each President asking for suggestions on this matter and that he had received more than a majority of replies but that the committee had not had an opportunity to combine these into a report. He further stated that it nas not the intention of the committee to set up an elaborate set of rules but merely to indicate certain obligations, On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Miller it was voted that the report of the committee be accepted. -1042- H. Report o f Budget C ommi ttee 1* Allocations for 1956-57 Doctor Miller, Chairman of the Committee, submitted the following report of the Committee: "Report of Budget Committee State Teachers Colleges The budget committee, appointed by the Superintendent of Public Instruction for the purpose of suggesting a procedure to be followed in the distribution of $1,500,000, appropriated for the State Teachers Colleges for the fiscal year beginning June 1, 1956, met Thursday, May 14, 1956, in room 517 Education Building, Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Those present were: Dr. Carmon Ross, President, State Teachers College, Edinboro Dr. Charles S. Miller, President, State Teachers College, Slippery Rock Dr. T. T. Allen, President, State Teachers College ,; East Stroudsburg Mr. D. E. Crosley, Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg Mr. Henry Klonower, Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg Doctor Charles S. Miller, Chairman, called the meeting to order and reviewed the basis on which the allocations were made for the fiscal year 1955-56. The committee felt that in the distribution of the $1,500,000 available for the State Teachers Colleges for the fiscal year 1956-57, a basic philosophy should be followed, namely, that the institutions should be considered an integrated teacher education system and that allocations should be made so that each institution can maintain an effective educational program to serve the best interests of the area in which it is located. Each institution must be provided with sufficient funds to maintain an adequate staff, the necessary laboratory facilities, and an acceptable plant. The distribution of funds must be based on actual needs and commensurate with the service demanded in providing an adequate program to the service area. The committee believes that there should be appointed immediately a budget committee that will study a method of allocation of funds for the next biennium. This will provide for adequate time to develop a scientific procedure based on past experiences and future needs. The committee is convinced that no radical change in the plan of the current fiscal year can be made at this time and therefore recommends to the Superintendent of Public Instruction the -1045- following procedure for the distribution of available funds: 1. The committee recommends that the sum of $1,450,000 be designated as Fund Number I. This money is to be allocated proportionately to the fourteen State Teachers Colleges on the basis on which the original allocation, to the amount of $1,398,000, was made for the fiscal year 1935-36. 2. The committee believes that a second fund should be established in the amount of $25,000 and that it be designated as Fund Number 2 and called the adjustment fund. The committee recommends that the money in this fund be allocated to the different institutions on March 1, 1937 on the basis of enrollments as of October 15, 1936, and that it should not be used for any other purpose. 3. There shall be established an emergency fund to be known as Fund Number 3. The amount of money allocated to this fund should be ^25,000. It should be available for distribution by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction to meet major emergencies that may develop in the institutions from the following causes; a. Damages resulting from external causes to plant and equipment. Such emergencies would develop from storm, flood, lightning, et cetera. b. Damages resulting from internal causes to plant and equipment. Such emergencies would develop from bursting water pipes, explosion of boiler, et cetera. The committee believes that the money in this fund, if unallocated before March 1, 1937, -1044- should be distributed to the institutions on this date on the basis of need. Respectfully submitted, Cannon Ross T. T. Allan D. E. Cros ley- Henry Klonower Charles S. Miller, Chairman" Doctor Rowland asked why the contingent funds were reduced in amount from $100,000 to $50,000. Doctor Miller replied that the committee felt that the matter of enrollments was not nearly as pressing now as it had been in the past. The committee further felt that each President should know the amount of money that will be available rather than to plan on the possibility of securing additional money later from one of these funds. - . Doctor Ade commended the committee on its report and added that he was happy to state that there will be no deficits in the budgets at the end of the fiscal year. He then asked for suggestions concerning the allocation of money other than those recommended by the committee. It was agreed that a Budget Committee should start work at once on planning the basis for the allocations for the next fiscal year. Doctor Ade appointed the follov;ing Budget Committee to plan the basis for the allocations of funds for the next biennium: Doctor Miller, Chairman, Doctor Ross, Doctor Allen, Doctor Rohrbach, Doctor Haas, Mr. Crosley and Mr. Klonower. Doctor Ade asked if the Board thought it advisable to have a man outside of the group to work with the committee. Doctor Steele stated that it was his feeling that this would be extremely helpful from a number of angles. 2. Rank and salaries of members of the instructional sta ffs Doctor Miller, Chairman of the Budget Committee, suggested that the new Budget Committee just appointed should consider this question* -1045- On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Rohrbach it was voted that the report of the Budget Committee be accepted. Doctor Ade then read the following letter from Mr. Arthur Colegrove, Secretary of Property and Supplies, for the information of the Board: "Commonwealth of Pennsylvania DEPARTMENT OF PROPERTY AND SUPPLIES Harri sburg May 8, 1936 Doctor Lester K. Ade Superintendent of public Instruction Harri sburg, Pennsylvania Dear Doctor Ade: It has been unofficially called to my attention that in certain of our State Institutions, among other serious substandard conditions, hazards exist in heating plants due to the carrying of improper steam pressures, probably necessitated by the existing conditions of the system. am passing this information on to you with the thought that you may deem it of sufficient importance to have a check made on each institutional heating system. I Very truly yours (Signed) Arthur Colegrove Secretary of Property and Supplies" Mr. Crosley stated that Mr. Bashore of the Department of Labor and Industry who had been designated to clear all W.P.A. projects for the State institutions had gone to Washington with Mr. Jones of the W.P.A. and had received approval from Mr. Hopkins for plans taking care of conditions in the State institutions. He stated that approval had been given for $600,000 although as yet no definite allocation had been made. Mr. Crosley further added that the Governor had requested an appropriation of $500,000 from the General Assembly, $200, 000 of which would be used to take care of the $200,000 which was needed to throw into the fund in order to secure the $400,000 of Federal money, -1046- If this amount of money is appropriated, the total amount received by the State Teachers Colleges will be $800,000. He suggested that the institutions have preliminary plans drawn up and submitted to the district office of the W.P.A. so that there would be no hold-up when the allocation of Federal money is made.' In the event that the approval of the .,3400,000 does not go through, the payment of architects' fees will be made from the original $200,000 allocation already made to the State Teachers Colleges. I. Membership to the American Council on Education Mr. Klonower stated that he had written to Doctor Zook asking for definite information concerning the possibility of securing group membership for the Board of presidents to the American Council on Education, and that he had received the following reply from Doctor C. S. Marsh, Associate Director of the .iiEierican Council on Education: "AMERICAN COUNCIL ON EDUCTION 744 Jackson Place Washington, D. C. May 11, 1936 Mr. Henry Klonower, Chief Teacher Division Pennsylvania Department of Public Instruction Harrisburg, Pennsylvania Bear Mr. Klonower: For Dr. Zook I reply to your inquiry of the fourth concerning group membership of the Board of Presidents in the American Council on Education. The question raised is not fully answered either by our practice or by our governing regulations. I shall, therefore, have to bring it before our Executive Committee. Just when this Committee will next meet I do not know at the moment, but there is some prospect of another meeting before the summer. I take it that this slight delay will not cause you any great inconvenience. If for any reason you feel that an earlier answer is desirable, I will take other steps. Sincerely yours C. S. Marsh Associate Director" (Signed) -1047- it was On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Rowland voted that this item be removed from the docket. J. 1956 Testing program of Columbia University Doctor Ben D. Wood, Director of the Bureau of Collegiate Research of Columbia University, appeared before the Board. Doctor Wood stated that the proposal he had to make is unofficial and preliminary in nature. He stated that a committee had been appointed by the Eastern States Association, that Doctor M. Ernest Townsend, President of the New Jersey State Normal School at Trenton, is chairman of the committee, and that Mr. Klonower had been requested to serve on the committee to represent Pennsylvania. The purpose of the Committee is to formulate a five-year experimental program including testing and guidance, the objective of which is to define appropriate professional standards for each grade and level of teacher. The committee is committed to the possibility of combining the entrance examinations of the Teachers College Personnel dissociation with the testing program carried on by the American Council on Education. The study is to be by and for the teacher training institutions and the uses of the project should be constructive rather than critical. Doctor Wood stated that the results of the program might be grammar i zed in four headings: 1. Better selection of students, for entrance not only to the lover division of the curriculum but to the upper division. 2. Better progressive elimination of undesirable students from the professional courses. In this connection it was felt by the panel of the Eastern States Association which met in New York City that teacher training institutions would inevitably face the problem of providing general education to non-professional groups. 3. 4 better progressive guidance throughout the two years or four years of preparation as the case may be. -1048- 4. Better cooperation with the schools in the communities since the nature of the program might relieve the institution of the necessity of rejecting a student who might then apply and be admitted to another teacher training institution. Doctor Wood expressed his appreciation of the opportunity of speaking to the Board and stated that the whole program for testing is the outcome of work started in Pennsylvania several years ago. He added that the program is merely an effort to spread this good work throughout the several states and give it a more definite organization and continuity. On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Armstrong it was voted that the Board extend thanks to Doctor Wood for his interesting and stimulating presentation. Doctor Haas suggested that Mr. Klonower keep the Board advised as to the developments of the committee of which he is a member. K. Report of Committee on Athletics re "Formation of a Pennsylvania Teachers College Athletic Conference" Doctor Allen, Chairman of the Committee on Athletics, submitted a report. it was On motion of Doctor Tanger, seconded by Doctor Armstrong voted that the report be referred to the committee for further study. L. A mandatory course, "Financing and Administering Public School Systems" Mr. Klonower stated it had been agreed that during the summer session an effort should be made to offer this course as one of the free electives. it was On motion of Doctor Tanger, seconded by Doctor Armstrong voted that this item be removed from the docket. -1049- Procurement of recording equipment for Speech Correction work M. Mr. Klonower reported that Mr. Crosley and he are now trying to get the facts concerning this item and would submit a report to the Board at a subsequent meeting. III. New Business A. Conference of the Faculties of the State Teachers Colleges Mr. Klonower stated that there has been no conference of the faculties of the State Teachers Colleges for a number of years due to budgetary conditions. Doctor Ade suggested that he felt that it would be defensible to have such a conference since one had not been held for a number of years. He suggested that such a conference should include representatives from groups above and below the State Teachers Colleges, in other words, the groups supplying the material for the State Teachers Colleges and receiving the product of the State Teachers Colleges. On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Steele it was voted that the Superintendent of Public Instruction be authorized to appoint a committee of three to report back to the Board concerning the advisability of holding such a conference. Doctor Ade appointed a Faculty Conference Committee to consist of: Doctor Foster, Doctor Rowland, and Mr. Swope. B. Salary Qualification Schedule It was agreed that this item should be referred for study to the Budget Committee. C. Memorandum of Agreement Instructional and non-instructional staff - Annual election Mi'. Klonower stated that a question had been raised as to whether members of the instructional and non-instructional staffs should be elected each year or if they continue in service until dismissed by the Board of Trustees. -1050- It was brought out that some institutions elect the members of the staffs at the close of each fiscal year while other institutions do not annually elect instructors. Mr. Klonower stated that the Salary Qualification Schedule specifically states that "all contracts expire May 31." Doctor Haas suggested that it might be advisable to amend that section which refers to continuing contracts of class 2, 3, and 4 school districts to include the State Teachers Colleges. D. Duplicate copies of certificates of approved training Doctor Rowland raised a question concerning the policy of other institutions with reference to supplying school boards and school officials with copies of transcripts of credit. It was brought out that Indiana, East Stroudsburg, Lock Haven, and Cheyney furnish these transcripts when requested to do so; California, Millersville, Clarion, Kutztown, and Bloomsburg send out a summary of the work completed and urge that school officials come to the office to examine the records; Edinboro and Wast Chester send out general statements and, if this is not sufficient, then transcripts are sent; Slippery Rock sends out statements and urges officials to come to the office to examine the records but, if a demand is made for transcripts, these are sent. IV. Miscellaneous A. Report of the Committee on Entrance Tests for Freshmen Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Committee, submitted the following report: "REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON ENTRANCE TESTS FOR FRESHMEN State Teachers Colleges In view of the fact that the Teachers College Personnel Association has engaged in a testing program covering several years, and since the results of this testing program furnish comparable data for study, it is recommended that the tests prepared by the Association be used for Freshmen entering the Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges for the college year 1936-37. -1051- The tests are as follows: English Test, Form B Elementary Test, Form B Teachers College Psychological Examination, Form A 8 ^ per copy8 ^ per copy 6 ^ per copy These three tests can be secured in sets at 20^ per set, and are secured from the Teacners College Personnel .association, Colorado State College of Education, Greeley, Colorado. Each institution will place its own order for tests. Since the number of tests printed will depend on orders placed, immediate notice should be sent to the Teachers College Personnel Association at Greeley stating the number that will be ordered. Respectfully submitted, Allen Francis B. Haas G. C. L. Riemer Albert L. Rowland Robert M. Steele, T. T. Chairman" On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Steele it was voted that the report of the committee be accepted. The meeting adjourned at 1:30 0' clock. > I) : MOJJ rfUf 2lL (3j- Henry Klonower, Secretary & Superintendent of Public Instruction -1052- ^\ COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION HARRISBURG May 6, 1936 To County, Assistant County, District, Assistant District, Associate Superintendents, Supervising Principals of Schools, and Presidents of Accredited Pennsylvania Colleges and Universities: Enclosed is a mimeographed statement concerning the requirements for the State Standard Limited Certificate as they apply to teachers who begin their preparation after January 1, 1937. The improvement in instructional service is not likely to be observed until a large group of teachers who have completed the additional preparation actually secure positions in the public schools. It seems reasonable to conclude that the additional preparation included within the new program will bring to the boys and girls in the public schools an enriched type of teaching service. The program is unique in that it provides the opportunity for a teacher, after she has acquired an earning capacity or a teaching position, to continue her preparation, consistent with sound scholarship and effective teaching. This growth in service has long been advocated as a sensible teacher education program. While the program for the further education of teachers does not prescribe four years of preparation immediately, it looks forward to the eventual completion of this amount of preparation. In this connection it is interesting to note that the figures in the Teacher Division show that one year ago there werp 3,902 college graduates prepared for the elementary field teaching in the public schools and now 5,772 college graduates are teaching in the elementary schools. The enclosed mimeographed statement is submitted to avoid misunderstandings. In the judgment of those who have given due consideration to the program, it is a step forward in improving the instructional service to the boys and girls in the public schools. ,/Tlenrj Lester K. Ade Superintendent of Public Instruction u Chi£f , Klonower Teacher Division Commonwealth of Pennsylvania DEPARTMENT F PUDLI C I NSER IC I TEACHER DIVISION Harris burg r I THE STATS COUNCIL OF EDUCATION APPROVES PROGRAM ;' 31 1 FOR THE FURTHER EDUCATION OF TEACHERS Doctor Lester K. Ade , Superintendent of Public Instruction, has announced that the State Council of Education, at their last meeting, amended the regulations for the certification of teachers to provide for an additional year of preparation for the State Standard Limited Certificate. This certificate is now issued where the applicant has completed two years of preparation for teaching in the elementary schools. The new standard of education adopted by the Council applies only to teachers who begin their preparation after January 1, 1937; the new regulation prescribes three years of post secondary school education instead of two years as is now required under the present regulation.- required this amount of preparation for a Some school districts have number of years. Teachers who have already begun cheir preparation will not be required to do the additional sork so that the regulation is not retroactive nor does it apply to teachers in service at the present time. The regulation just approved has teen before the State Council for three years and due consideration was given to it by educational institutions, administrative officials and teachers. The general opinion of the group was that not only would the interests of the boys and girls in the public schools be better served by the advanced education standard for beginning teachers, but that the preparation would also provide for a better type of instructional service. One of the many commendable features of the program is the fact that this certificate is valid for three years; the certificate is renewable every three years when the holder has completed twelve semester hours of additional education and so on until the teacher earns her college certificate. Th^ program will assure growth in service on the part of the teacher and will also provide for continuous adjustments to new situations as they arise. The preparation is secured at the time when the teacher has acquired an earning capacity. The program has been described as an "earning and learning" in-service teacher education program. While many states have adopted advanced preparation programs, few have embodied the principle of learning while teaching. The state of Delaware has just adopted a program which requires four years of college preparation New York state requires three years of preparation for teaching; for teaching. after October 1956, the state of Connecticut will require four years of prepa- ration for teaching; New Jersey requires three years of preparation as a minimum requirement.
