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 M. J. Walsh (Acting President) Q. A. W. Rohrbach Dallas W. Armstrong Landis Tanger Albert Lindsay Rowland Charles S.

Ade, President Henry Klonower, Secretary Doctor William R. Straughn, President of the State Teachers College at Mansfield and Doctor C. S. Miller, President of the State Teachers College at Slippery Rock, were not present. I. Approval of the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Presidents held in Harrisburg, May 15, 1936 On motion of Doctor Haas, Seconded by Doctor Steele it was voted that the minutes of the meeting of the Board held May 15, 1936 be approved as submitted. -1053- II. — Unfinished —*Business —- ———— 1 A. • Report of the Curricular Revision Committee 1. Revision of Currieulums 2. Curriculum 3. Aids to prospective rural school teachers - English Speech Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision Committee, reported progress and stated that the Committee had submitted to the different institutions the general outline concerning the revision of the first two years of the four- year curriculum. The Committee believes that final action ought to be deferred pending the decision of the Faculty Conference Committee since these matters have al?/ays been brought before the faculties of the State Teachers Colleges. Doctor Steele explained that it was not the thought of the Curricular Revision Committee to get away from the profesIt is merely meeting the criticism of the sional point of view. liberal arts colleges that the amount of professional work compared to the content is excessive. It is the thought of the Committee to enrich the curriculum by condensing the professional courses. Doctor Rowland stated that it appeared to him that the essential difference between the proposed revision of the first two years of the curriculum and the junior college idea is the fact that these two years will be presented to the student in a professional institution, in a professional atmosphere, and the students will receive something of the professional character of the courses. On motion of Doctor Rohrbach, seconded by Mr. Swope it was voted that the report of the Committee be accepted. B. Report of committee re "modification of the law for permanent certification in Pennsylvania " Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the committee, reported for the committee. He asked that the item be held over until the September meeting of the Board. He added that the committees of the Pennsylvania State Education Association and the Andrews Committee were considering this same matter. -1054- On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Rowland it was voted that the report of the committee be accepted. C. Report of committee re "recognition by the Middle States Association" Doctor Rov/land, Chairman of the Committee, reported that the committee wishes to report progress. He then read the following letter written to Doctor Rohrbach under date of June 9, 1936: "Dr. Q. A. W. Rohrbach, President, State Teachers College, Kutztown, Pennsylvania My dear Doctor Rohrbach: As I indicated in my last letter to you I had a conference with Doctor Grizzell in his office at the University of Pennsylvania on Friday, June 5. Some progress seems to have been made in the matter of our request for consideration by the Middle States Association as reported by Doctor Grizzell. He stated that a joint committee of the two Commissions of the Association, the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education and the Commission on Secondary Schools consisting of E. D. Grizzell, University of Pennsylvania, Secondary Commission, Chairman, Frank H. Bowles, Columbia University, Secretary of the Higher Education Commission, Ira R. Kraybill, Principal, Cheltenham High School, Elkins Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Secondary Commission, Y/ilson Farrand, Princeton University, Higher Education Commission, George William McClelland, University of Pennsylvania, Secretary of the Association, had met to discuss the question. After considerable discussion this committee came to the conclusion that rather than accept the list of the American Association of Teachers Colleges as an equivalent list, it would be preferable to attempt to accredit such of the Teachers Colleges as apply for such accreditment individually, and they recommended to the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education that they select three or four Teachers Colleges from the area covered by the Association to be carefully investigated as a temporary step. At a subsequent meeting of the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education the recommendation of the committee v/as accepted as far as the suggestion to attempt to accredit Teachers •1055- Colleges individually was concerned, but instead of agreeing to the selection of three or four of the colleges a committee was appointed to consider such modifications as might have to he made of the standards set by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education in order to meet the Teachers College situation. This committee is composed of Dr. James N. Rule, Chairman, Dr. Harlan H. Horner, Assistant Commissioner for Higher Education of New York State, Albany, and Dr. Frank H. Bowles, Secretary of the Commission, Columbia University. This committee was instructed to study the problem and to report to the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education in the fall. In further explanation of the Joint committees reluctance to accept the American Association of Teachers Colleges' list, Doctor Grizzell told me that they accept as equivalent lists to their own only the list of approved institutions of the North Central Association, the Northwest Association, the Southern Association and the association of American Universities, all of which have comparable standards with the exception of the North Central association v;hich they feel has even more advanced standards than their own. I suppose we can regard this report as an evidence of progress in our negotiations. It would seem that it might be wise to arrange with Doctor Rule for a joint meeting of his committee and ours, and I am writing him making this suggestion. With kindest regards, I am Very sincerely yours, Albert Lindsay Rowland President" Doctor Rowland added that on Monday, July 13, 1936, he expected to meet with Doctor Rule, Chairman of the committee appointed to consider such modifications as may have to be made of the standards set by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the Middle States Association. On motion of Doctor Tanger, seconded by Doctor Steele it was voted that the report of the committee be accepted. -1056- D. Report of committee re "modification of the enrolliaent report on page 3" Doctor Haas, Chairman of the committee, submitted the following report of the committee: "To the Members of the Board of Presidents: In reply to the suggestion made by the Committee in its report under date of March 20, 1936, Mr. Klonower sent to all members of the board copies of the report, suggesting that any changes desired be made in the form requested by the Committee. Edited reports have been received from five institutions, in addition to letters from too other institutions. The Committee makes the following proposals and suggestions with final report to be made to Mr. Klonower and that he be authorized to modify the form in the light of our suggestions as will best fit his needs. The following changes are suggested for consideration: 1. The caption attached to Class I Students to read as follows: •Class I Students (who have met in full the entrance requirements and who are pursuing as full-time students a regularly adopted and authorized curriculum for the preparation of teachers for the public schools, including students who in completing a regularly adopted and authorized curriculum need less than 13 semester hours) as follows:' 2. Modify the distribution under 'Curricula' of Class I Students as follows for the second, third and fourth years. Kindergarten-Primary below is given as a sample. Kindergarten-Primary M. F. T. A - Limited Cert. - Sem. 2 B - Degree Cert. 3. - Yr. Yr. 2 3 Sem. Yr. Yr. Yr. 2 2 3 4 Modify the forms for distributing the Special Groups by leaving blank the special designations such as Art, Commerce, etc. Let each institution write in the name of its distribution. Six spaces will be ample for the needs of any one institution. -1057- 4. Modify the distribution 'Number of Students' on page 2 following Class I by Class II and Class III, and securing a total which will give only figures of actual professional service rendered by the institution to teacher education. Omit from this distribution Class IV-A Pupils. 5. Page 6. Page 4, rewrite caption as follows: 'Class III Part-Time Students taking fewer than 13 semester hours. Do not include students taking less than 13 semester hours which are included in Class I.* It has been commented that this caption should read 'Taking fewer than 7 semester hours. However, it should be noted that this report is developed to secure information relating to types of enrollment v/hich do not necessarily correspond with methods of payment. In other words, regularity of enrollment changes at 13 semester hours. Methods of payment change at 7 semester hours. 3, omit the distribution at the top of page. 1 Respectfully submitted, Dr. Robert M. Steele Dr. Henry Klonower Dr. Francis B. Haas, Chairman" Doctor Rohrbach expressed the opinion that the Class III students should be broken down into four groups so that this figure could be taken into consideration in the allocation of State money. He stated that several of the institutions have a large number of Class III students and that this is not taken into consideration since State money is allocated on the basis of Class I students. He added that, in many cases, a large number of the Class III students may be taking as many as nine, ten, eleven, or twelve semester hours of credit, placing a heavy burden on the instructional staff, for which no compensation is received. Doctor Steele and Doctor Rowland agreed with this point of view. On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Hill it was voted that this report be accepted for study by each member of the Board and a final report be made to Doctor Haas who will present the result of the judgment of the members of the Board at the meeting in September. Ei Report of committee re "service areas of the State Teachers Colleges " -1058- In tiie absence of Doctor Straughn, Chairman of the committee, this item was deferred until the next meeting of the Board. F. Report of Committee on Solicitation of Students Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Committee, asked that this item be held over until the next meeting of the Board. G. Report of Budget Committee 1937-39 - 1. Allocai ;ions for 1937- 38 2. Rank and salaries of members of the instructional staffs 3. Salary Qualifications Schedule In the absence of Doctor Miller, Chairman of the Budget Committee, no report for the Committee was submitted. Doctor Rohrbach asked if there was to be any discussion of the item, "Allocations for 1937-38." Doctor Ade suggested that the Budget Committee meet and confer with the State Superintendent of Public Instruction during the last part of August as to the matter of restoration of salary cuts, Fire and Panic Act provisions, et cetera, in order that he may have the benefit of the advice of the Budget Committee before requesting appropriation for the year 1937-38. Doctor Klonower brought to the attention of the Board the possibility of making economies in the budget to adjust, in part, the ten per cent reduction. Doctor Rowland stated that, at the present time, we are in the second year of a biennium in which the appropriations to the State Teachers Colleges have already been made and we have no way of increasing or altering salaries. Doctor Steele stated that at the time the ten per cent reduction was made it was the opinion of the Board that individual adjustments could be considered on the merits of the case. He stated that it is vital that some salary adjustments be made in order to prevent the drifting away of the most competent staff members. -1Q59- Doctor Ade asked that Doctor Ackley, now Director of the Bureau of Administration and Finance, go over the budgets to see if there is any way to save money in order that these outstanding members of the faculty may be held. Doctor Allen raised a question concerning the W.P.A. projects under the Fire and Panic Act. He mentioned the possibility of there being additional money if the necessary repairs are done by ft.P.A. projects. Doctor Ade replied that no provision could be made for this until the Tv^P.A. projects are actually approved. Doctor Rohrbach stated that the only item in their budget on this matter is the three per cent fee for architectural service. He added that he had been advised by Mr. Bashore's office not to include in the budget the costs of materials. In order to secure blanket action from the members of the Board, Doctor Steele presented the following motion: "It is the sense of this Board that, if funds can be provided through economies in the budget , and with the approval of the Department of Public Instruction, individual adjustments may be made when recommended by the Board of Trustees." Doctor Rowland stated that this is a system of teachers colleges where, presumably, we have a common salary schedule. It seemed to him that it would seriously break the morale of the instructors in some of the institutions if it were learned that teachers were receiving adjustments in other institutions. Doctor Rohrbach stated that he agreed with the motion for the year 1937-38 but not for the present year. Doctor Steele added that there is no desire to attempt to raise the level of salaries. He added that the institutions would have to justify the increases to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction and increases would be recommended only where salaries are considerably below the Salary Qualification Schedule and that it is in the interests of the morale of the institution to be willing to recognize the necessity of adjusting individual salaries on this basis. -1060- The motion made by Doctor Steele was defeated by a vote of ten to two. H. 1956 Testing Program of Columbia University Doctor Klonower stated that a full report of the meeting of the Committee on Educational Testing hold at Columbia University, May 25, 1936 will be presented at the next meeting of the Board. I . Report of Committee on Athletics re "Formation of a Pennsylvania Teachers College Athletic Conference" Doctor Allen, Chairman of the Committee, requested that this item be held over until the next meeting of the Board. J. Membership to the American Council on Education Doctor Klonower read the following letter received under date of July 1, 1936 from Doctor C. S. Marsh, Associate Director of the American Council on Education: "Mr. Henry Klonower Teacher Division Pennsylvania Department of Public Instruction llarrisburg, Pennsylvania Dear Mr. Klonower: I am very glad to inform you that our Executive Committee, at its meeting on June 27, voted to accept the Pennsylvania Board of Presidents into associate membership in the American Council on Education. According to our constitution (page 35 of the inclosed pamphlet) each associate member may send to meetings of the Council one representative, without the right to vote. Will you be good enough to supply, at your early convenience, the name and address of the person who will thus represent the Board of Presidents. Also will you please indicate whether or not that representative is the one to be placed on our mailing list to receive the quarterly journal of the Council, 'The Educational Record. A bill for ten dollars to cover your 1936-37 associate membership dues is inclosed. -1061- As a perquisite of raenbership in the American Council a copy of the third edition of f Ar.:erican Universities and Colleges" will be sent to you. Yv a trust that you will find this Handbook useful. r Sincerely yours, (signed) C. S. Marsh Associate Director" On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Ross it voted that each member of the Board pay a dollar toward the ten dollar membership fee and that Doctor Klonower as Secretary of the Board of Presidents represent the Board at meetings of the American Council on Education and receive its publications, these publications to be available for the members of the Board. in Doctor Klonower s office. •./as 1 K. Procurement of recording equipment for Speech Correction work Doctor Klonower stated that Mr. Crosley and he had not made much progress in this matter but that, on Mr. Crosley' return to the office, he would again take up the matter with him. The item was deferred until the next meeting of the Board. L. Report of Faculty Conference Committee Mr. Swope Chairman of the Committee, asked that this item be deferred until the next meeting of the Board. , III. New Business A. Composite Advertisement in Pennsylvania School Journal On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Haas it was voted that a contract be entered into with the Pennsylvania State Education Association for the insertion of a composite advertisement on the back cover of the Pennsylvania School Journal for the school year 193*- 37 on exactly the same basis as the contract was entered into by the Board last year, with the provision that the form of the advertisement be changed from time to time. -1062- It was agreed that the &rt Departments of the State Teachers Colleges specializing in the preparation of art teachers be asked to prepare "copy" for the advertisements. B. Fee Committee - Refund of Contingent and Housing Fee3 Doctor Klonower read the following letter from Mr. ?.oy J. Keefef of the Board of Finance and Revenue, Treasury Department, June 29, 1936: "Dr. Lester K. Ade Superintendent of public Instruction Harrisburg, Pennsylvania Dear Dr. Ade: Your letter of June 15th relative to Paragraph D-II, Repayments of the Uniform Fees, Deposits, and Repayments in the State Teachers Colleges, effective June 1, 1933, is very much appreciated. We are in thorough accord with you that the Board of Trustees need not approve the absence of a student on account of illness certified to by an attending physician and that the Board of Trustees must approve any other reason for absence. We go further, however, and have taken the position that in either case and in fact in any and all claims for refund, no matter for what reason, the Board of Trustees should approve the actual amount of the refund. I have been talking with Mr. Klonower of your Department on this matter and have suggested that same be presented to the Board of Presidents of State Teachers Colleges when they meet on July 10th. We feel that to have the Board of Trustees approve the amount of refund in every case would place responsibility and control over funds where it belongs. We believe also that if the Board of Presidents were to concur in the position we have taken the resolution referred to above could be amended accordingly with the result that upon being so notified all State Teachers Colleges would then be in a position to prepare and submit claims for refund under a uniform ruling. -1063- We therefore respectfully request that you present our position to the Board of Presidents at their meeting on July 10th with the purpose in view of having the Board of Presidents concur in our position, and that the resolution of the Board of Presidents be modified accordingly. This whole problem has arisen because of the fact that the Board of Trustees of some State Teachers Colleges approve all claims for refund while others refuse to approve the actual amount of the refund where the student has been absent on account of personal illness certified to by an attending physician. Appreciating your cooperation, I am Very truly yours (signed) HOY J. KEETER for WALTER J. KRESS, Secretary" It was agreed that the members of the Board will advise their Board of Trustees to cooperate with the Board of Finance and Revenue in order that a uniform procedure may be followed. C. Cooperative Enterprise and Laundry Management Mr. W. A. Sponsler, Assistant Budget Secretary, appeared before the Board and presented a plan for the testing of the laundries of the State Teachers Colleges. This program is to be established in cooperation with Pennsylvania State College.

Mr. Sponsler replied that this would be done. Doctor Tanger asked if the matter of the composition of the water would be looked into. "Mr. Sponsler replied that the composition of water was taken into consideration and the institution advised whether or not a water softener is needed.

E. Advisability of Securing the Services of a Food Expert for the State Teachers Colleges Doctor Klonower read a communication which he had received concerning the advisability of having a food expert serve the State Teachers Colleges in the selection of meats. Mr. W. H. VanZant of State College, Pennsylvania, claims that there is a wide range of difference in the percentage of waste in the carcasses. One familiar with these matters could be able to recommend purchases with the least possible waste and thus effect a considerable saving to institutions. On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Ross it was voted that Mr. VanZant be thanked for his suggestion and that the matter be taken up with the dietitians of each institu- tion. F. Length of Residence Period required for a degree Doctor Rowland stated that it is his understanding that a year of residence is required before a degree may be granted, -1065- On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Rohrbach that the matter be referred to the Curricular Revision Committee for study and report at the next meeting. it was voted G.

Cooperative training teachers paid in part by the local school district On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Rowland it was voted that the Budget Committee be asked specifically to review this item and make a recommendation relative to the advisability of modifying the present schedule in this respect for the coming biennium. Doctor Ade commended the members of the Board for the progress v;iiich has been made in the matter of the support of campus training schools by the school district. -1066- K. X-Ray Exam nations- Pennsylvania Tuberculosis Society Doctor Klonower stated that the Pennsylvania Tuberculosis Society is carrying on in the public schools of the Commonwealth an intensive drive for the discovery of tuberculosis among students. X-ray pictures of children have been taken, developed and sent to the school physician who, in turn, sends the children to their own physician where cases are disclosed. He stated that the great difficulty is making the teachers conscious of this problem. He suggested that one college might cooperate with the Society during the summer session. The X-ray apparatus could be brought into the college and, after a preliminary presentation, the teachers might be brought into the X-ray examination program. He added that the cost of the X-ray picture would be from $.75 to :>1.00 per person. Doctor Haas stated that he felt that the institutions are not doing what they should in the matter of health examinations, Doctor Rowland volunteered his institution as the institution in which this experiment could be initiated during the summer session. He stated that for the past two years tests had been made at the Mont Alto Sanatorium free of charge. On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Haas it was voted that the item be referred to Doctor Klonower for continued cooperation with the Pennsylvania Tuberculosis Society. L. Field trips for credit Doctor Klonower stated that he had two requests in line with the progressive movement to carry education out beyond the classroom. He stated that one institution wished to organize a geography class including a bus trip covering three weeks through southeastern United States. Doctor Rowland stated that he is in favor of such trips provided the institution stands back of the course and puts its reputation back of the credit given. Mr. Swope stated that the one outstanding thing in education which he had sensed was the travel program. Doctor Klonower then spoke of the arrangements which had been made with the University of Madrid, University of -1067- Porto Rico, University of Paris, University of Oxford, University of Mexico, and the French, German, and Spanish colonies at Middlebury, Connecticut. He stated that courses completed at such institutions are given full credit for certification. On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Mr. Sv/ope it was voted that it is the sense of the Board that such extension of educational facilities in proper control and with adequate staff be approved with the provision that the student will pay the regular semester hour fee plus the expenses of the trip. Doctor Ross raised a question concerning the possibility of allowing students to complete four semester hours of credit during the three weeks summer session. On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Hill it was voted that this item be considered definitely as an item to be brought before the Board at its next meeting and that, in the meantime, all cases of this kind be referred to Doctor Klonower with the understanding that he will have full authority in such matters. M. Summer Session Enrollments High School Graduates - Recent Doctor Klonower distributed a chart indicating the comparative enrollments for the summer sessions of 1934, 1935 and 1936. Doctor Riemer suggested that in comparing the summer session enrollments, the percentage of the summer session enrollment compared with the winter enrollment should be taken into consideration. It was agreed that this should be done. N.

He added that he would be glad to furnish additional copies of the chart to any of the members of the Board for use in courses in education. IV. Miscellaneous A.

Approval of the minu tes __o_f the meeting of the Board of Presidents held in Harrisburg, July 10, 1936. On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Miller it was voted that the minutes of the meeting of the Board held July 10, 1936 be approved as submitted. 1071- II. Unfinished Business A . Report of the Curr i cular R evis ion Committee 1. Revision of Curricu lum 2. L ength of residen ce p eriod requi red for a degree Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curri cular Revision Committee, reported for tne Committee. He stated that arrangements have been made for the Committee to have a two-day session to go into the suggestions made by the various faculties. Not all the institutions have replied to the inquiry sent out in May. He stated that the Committee would appreciate having the suggestions of the faculties as to what the core subjects as well as the electives in the first two years of the curriculum should be. Doctor Steele distributed bulletins from the State Normal School at Patterson, New Jersey, describing a curriculum which is being put into effect in that institution. He suggested that each President study the bulletin carefully in the light of the proposed revision of the first two years of the curriculum in Pennsylvania. Doctor Klonower stated that, if this nev/ pl.an works satisfactorily at Patterson, it will be extended throughout Now Jersey. Doctor Steele then submitted the following report of the Committee on the length of residence period required for a degree: "REPORT OF CURRI CULAR REVISION COMMITTEE The Curri cular Revision Committee recommends that the minimum residence requirement for a degree in the State Teachers Colleges be one year or its equivalent. Thirty-four semester hours of work earned "on- campus" shall be regarded as the equivalent of one year of residence. By agreement between the Presidents of the institutions concerned, a maximum of 17 hours of residence study at anotner state teachers college in Pennsylvania may be accepted toward the fulfillment of the requirement of one year of residence. September 13, 1956 Respectfully submitted T. T. Allen Q. A. W. Rohrbach Henry iCLonower, Secretary Robert M. Steele, Chairman" -1072- On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Rohrbach it was voted, that the second paragraph of the report of the Curri- cular Revision Committee be deleted. On motion of Doctor Rohrbach, seconded by Doctor Allen it was v ot ed that the words, "or the equivalent" be deleted from the first paragraph of the report and that "thirty-four semester hours" be changed to "thirty semester hours". The report then read as folloxvs: "The Curricular Revision Committee recommends that the minimum residence requirement for a degree in the State Teachers Colleges be one year. Thirty semester hours of work earned "oncampus" shall be regarded as one year of residence." On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Allen it was voted that the report of the Committee be accepted. B . Re p o r t__o f committee re "modi icatio n of the lay; for permanent ce rtifica tion in Penn sy lva nia" . Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the committee, submitted the following report: "REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON PERMANENT CERTIFICATION Section 1316. The Superintendent of Fublic Instruction may grant a provisional college certificate to every person who presents to him satisfactory evidence of good moral character, and of being a graduate of a college or university, approved by the /College and University Council of this Commonwea It h/gt t e C ouncil of Education who has completed such work in education as may be approved by the State Council of Education, /and to every person who presents to him satisfactory evidence of good moral character, and of being a graduate in music, with the degree of bachelor of music, of a college or university approved by the College and University Council of tnis Commonwealth, who has during such musical course completed the prescribed number of professional studie_s7" which certificate shall entitle him to teach for three annual school terms. L Section 1317.

Respectfully submitted September 18, 1936 G. C. L. Riemer Robert M. Steele Henry Klonower Q. A. W. Rohrbach, Chairman" Doctor Miller brought out the fact that the modifications in the law suggested in the report have been approved by the Committee on Minimum Standards for Teacher Education appointed by the Joint Educational Costs Survey Commission. On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Rowland, it was voted that the report of the committee be accepted. G * He port of commi t tee_ re "recognition by the Middle States Association " Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the committee, reported for the committee. He stated that, since the last meeting of the Board, the committee had gotten in touch with Doctor Rule, chairman of a joint committee of the two Commissions of the Association, the Commission of Institutions of Higher Education and the Commission on Secondary Schools. He stated that the result of their meeting -1074- was a statement of principles and standards for the rating of State Teachers Colleges. He added that item #11 of the following "Principles and Standards for Pating Teachers Colleges" is slightly different from the original statement of Doctor Rule s Committee: f PRINCIPLES AND STANDARDS FOR RATING TEACHERS COLLEGES I . Definition of a Teachers College Teachers College (Four Year institution Granting Degrees) A teachers college, within the meaning of these standards, is a state, municipal or incorporated private institution, not operating for profit, or an independent unit of a recognized colls ge or university having at least one four-year unified curriculum; which is devoted exclusively to the preparation of teachers; which has legal autliority to grant a bachelor's degree; which has granted and continues to grant such degrees; and which requires for admission the completion of a standard four- year secondary school curriculum, or equivalent education approved by this Association. II. Standards for Admission A teachers college shall require for admission the satis~ factory completion of a four-year program of studies of not fewer than fifteen units in a secondary school approved by a recognized accrediting agency, or the equivalent of such a program. Evidence of a program of selective admissions shall be submitted to the accrediting committee. Experience in teaching shall in no case be accepted for entrance credit nor in discharge of the requirements for graduation except as a part of the student teaching requirement for teachers in service. III. Standards for Graduation A teachers college shall require for graduation the completion of a minimum quantitative requirement of 120 semester hours of credit (or the equivalent in term hours, quarter hours, points, majors or courses) with further scholastic qualitative requirements adapted by each institution to its conditions. Credit for not more than thirty semester hours of work in extension classes may be permitted. No degree, certificate or diploma shall be issued by a teachers college to a student who has not spent a minimum of one year (thirty semester hours) in regular residence work in the institution issuing the certificate, degree or diploma. One year of residenoe work shall be understood to mean one year of full-time study or two half years or the equivalent of one year in summer sessions. -1075- IT. Number of Degrees The conferring of a multiplicity of degrees is discouraged. Small institutions should confine themselves to one or two. When more than one baccalaureate degree is offered, all should he equal in requirements for admission and for graduation. Institutions of limited resources and inadequate facilities for graduate work should confine themselves strictly to undergraduate courses. V. Size, Preparation and Teaching Load of Faculty The size of the faculty should bear a definite relation t& the type of institution, the number of students and the number of courses offered. For a college of approximately 100 students in a single curriculum the faculty should consist of at least eight fully qualified instructors devoting full time to college work. With the growth of the student body the number of full-time teachers should be correspondingly increased. The development of varied curricula should involve the addition of further fully qualified members of the instructional staff. The education of the members of the faculty of professorial rank should include at least two years of study in their respective fields of teaching in a recognized graduate school. It is desirable that the education of all persons of professorial rank should be equivalent to that required for the doctor's degree, or should represent a corresponding professional or technical education. A college should be judged in large part by the ratio which the number of persons of professorial rank with appropriate education, scholarly achievement and successful experience as teachers bears to the total of the teaching staff. Teaching schedules exceeding 16 hours per week per instructor, or classes (exclusive of lectures) of more than thirty students should be interpreted as endangering educational efficiency. VI. Financial Support The minimum annual operating income for an accredited college, exclusive of payment of interest, annuities, etc., should be ^50,000, of which not less than $25,000 should be derived from stable sources, other than students, preferably from permanent endowments. Increase in faculty, student body and scope of instruction should be accompanied by increase in income from endowment. The financial status of each college should be judged in relation to its educational program. VII. Buildings and Equipment The material equipment and upkeep of a teachers College including its buildings, lands, laboratories, apparatus, and -1076- libraries and their efficient operation in relation to its educational progress shall also be considered when judging an institution* VIII. Library A teachers college shall maintain an adequately housed, well-distributed, professionally administered library. The library shall be adapted to the courses of study offered and shall be large enough to meet the needs of students and faculty. Adequate annual provision for the purchase of new books and periodicals shall be made. IX. Demonstration-Practice School and Student Teaching A teachers college shall maintain a demonstration-practice school for purposes of observation, demonstration and supervised teaching. The use of an urban or rural school system under the professional control and supervision of the college is recommended as a complimentary provision to meet this requirement. The minimum amount of student teaching required of every graduate of a teachers college shall be 90 recitation hours of supervised teaching in addition to an adequate program of observation and student teaching conference. X- Organization of the Program of Studies In determining the standing of a teachers college, emphasis will be placed on the character of the program of studies, the efficiency of instruction, the general administrative policy, the standard for regular degrees, the practice in granting honorary degrees, the professional tone of the institution and its success in stimulating and preparing students to do satisfactory work in recognized graduate, professional or research institutions. XI. Professional Security The administrative officials and instructional staff of an accredited teachers college must be free from political or other influences abridging academic freedom and must have some measure of tenure to guarantee continuity of acceptable practices. XII. Accreditation No teachers college shall be accredited until it has been inspected and reported upon by an agent or agents regularly appointed by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education, On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Steele it was voted that the committee be allowed to report progress and that this report be reviey/ed by the members of the Board for such criticism and discussion as they feel may be desirable at the next meeting of the Board, subsequent to which the committee will report -1077- to Doctor Rule's committee any further suggestions that the Board sees fit to make. Doctor Rohrbach suggested that each member of the Board study, in particular, paragraph V, section two, apply tiie standards to his own institution, and report back to Doctor Rowland before the next meeting of the Board. Doctor Rowland added that we are moving very satisfactorily toward accreditment by the Middle States Association. D. Report of committee re "modification of the enrollment report on page 3 " Doctor Haas, Chairman of the committee, reported that no additions to the information received in July had been received and that, therefore, he would turn all the material over to Doctor Klonower for his use. On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Rowland it was voted that this item be removed from the docket. E. Report o f c ommi ttee r e "s ervice areas of the State Teachers Colleges" Due to the death of Doctor Straughn, who had been Chairman of the committee, no report was submitted. ^' Report of Commit te e on Solicitatio n of Students Doctor Steele, Chairman of the committee, asked that this item be held over until the next meeting of the Board. G . Report of Budget Committee 1937-39 1. Allocations for 1937-38 2. Salary Adjustments - Doctor Miller, Chairman of the committee, reported for the committee and submitted the following report: "REPORT OF THE BUDGET COMMITTEE Adjustment of Cooperative Teaching Reimbursement for the Biennium 1937-1939:- The present plan of reimbursement for cooperative teachers seems to have developed a number of inequalities and inequities. Consideration of 1, -1078- a revision is suggested, and the following plan is proposed for such consideration. Any reimbursement for any purpose tends to be more equitable to the extent that a unit of service for which payment is to be made may be defined. The following proposal is, therefore, suggested: Unit of service - one student teacher per semester - initial value of service ^25*00 per student per semester - value for each succeeding year after the first to be increased by $5.00 increments to a maximum of ten increments. In other words, reimbursement on this unit basis of service would be for one student trained ^25. 00 for the first year, $30,00 for the second year, $35.00 for the third year, etc. all other factors of training and qualifications to be the same as at present, or modifications to be made. This plan would appear to treat the cooperative teachers the same and in the long run would cost far less than the present schedule, and since it is reasonable it would probably be possible to carry it out. over a period of years. Standardization of application of Standard V of the 2. American Association of Teachers Colleges: Standard V provides that "The following teaching load shall be the maximum for a teachers college or normal school faculty: 16 recitation periods not exceeding 60 minutes each per week or its equivalent. Equivalence shall be based upon the ratio of one class period to one and one-half class periods in shop, laboratory work and physical education." An informal study of the application of this principle by our different colleges indicates that different values are being reported to the American Association. This indirectly affects the administration of the institution and, therefore, the general budget. In other words, the greater laboratory value an institution gives in any subject, or subjects, the larger the possible faculty load and, therefore, the smaller the number of members of the faculty. It is recommended that this question be referred to the curriculum committee with the suggestion that a uniform table be prepared for reporting and administering such equivalents. -1079- 3. The committee is studying further the matter of ranking faculty members and will present a tentative report at the next meeting. Respectfully submitted, Francis B. Haas Quincy A. 7;. Rohrbach Carmon Ross T. T. Allen Henry Klonower Charles S. Miller, Chairman Doctor Haas stated that, when this scheme becomes effective after one year, teachers' experience will be evaluated at that time on the basis of their previous experience as cooperative teachers. Doctor Ross raised a question concerning changing the number of increments from ten to six. It was felt by Doctor Haas and Doctor Allen that the increments should remain at ten in order to put the change into effect with as little friction as possible. Doctor Ade suggested that the budgets be made up on the basis of the ten increments and that a phrase, "to be paid in proportion to a semester's work" be included in the paragraph. On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Steele voted that paragraph one of the report of the Budget Committee be accepted with the correction indicated above. it was On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Steele it was voted that sections two and three of the report be accepted. In connection with paragraph three, Doctor Rohrbach, who is studying this problem, suggested that the members of the Board write to him giving their reaction to the problem of the ranKing of instructors. He added that he is v.riting to the State Teachers Colleges in other states concerning this matter. Doctor Ross, a member of the Budget Committee, submitted the following recommendation: "That the Superintendent of Public Instruction be authorized to approve such adjustments in salaries as he may deem necessary and expedient provided such adjustments be within the ten per cent reduction from the salaries paid any - 1080- individual in 1932, or provided such adjustments may be absolutely essential for the efficient administration of and instruction in any institution, and provided further that the budget of said institution or institutions as approved for the current year warrants or permits it." On motion of Doctor Ross, seconded by Doctor Miller it was voted that this recommendation be adopted. Doctor Ade raised a question concerning the transfer of instructors from one State Teachers College to another. Doctor Klonower clarified the matter by stating that the Presidents of both institutions concerned must be in agreement concerning the transfer and the transfer must be approved by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. It was decided that the budgets for the next biennium should be based on a restoration of the ten per cent cut. H* 1556 Testing program of Columbia University Doctor Klonower read the following report of the meeting of the committee on educational testing held at Columbia University, May 25, 1936: REPORT OF MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATIONAL TESTING May 25, 1936 I attended a meeting of the committee on educational testing appointed by Doctor Alonzo F. Myers, President of the Eastern-States Association of Professional Schools for Teachers held at Columbia University, New York City, Monday, May 25, 1936. The members of the committee present at the meeting were Doctor Townsend, Doctor Wood, Doctor Russell, Doctor Welte, Doctor Tall, Doctor Myers, Doctor Morris, and Henry Klonower. The committee discussed a testing program for teacher education institutions. As a result of the discussion the following recommendations were adopted: 1. That the members of the committee give a statement to the chairman of their own conception of what a five-year program of this committee of the Eastern-States Association of Professional Schools for Teachers should be, and that this individual report be submitted to the chairman as early as possible in the summer. -1081- 2. That a questionnaire be submitted to the Association members with an appropriate letter to discover the present practice in the field of educational and professional testing as a basis for the further planning of our program. The chairman asked Doctor Morris to prepare such a questionnaire and Doctor Wood to prepare the covering letter, the questionnaire and letter to be submitted to the other members of the committee upon receipt, for their comments and criticism. 3. That we should meet in the fall, presumably at some central location, to discuss the implications of the several programs submitted by the committee members, the committee members having advanced copies of the submitted programs before them for study. • 4. That on the basis of such a preliminary investigation the committee formulate a recommended program for presentation to the Eastern States Association of Professional Schools for Teachers at its spring session, 1937. There remains nothing further to do since the matter is to be presented to the Eastern-States Association of ProfesSubsional Schools for Teachers at its spring meeting in 1937. sequent to this time, it will be the privilege of the Presidents to decide whether they desire to participate in the program. Respectfully submitted, Henry Klonower Secretary, Board of Presidents On motion of Doctor Armstrong, seconded by Mr. Swope it was vot ed that the report be accepted as read. I . Report of Committee o n Athletic re "Formatio n of a Pennsylvania Teachers College Athletic Conference" Doctor Allen, Chairman of the committee, requested that this item be held over until the next meeting of the Board. -1082- J. Procurement of recording equipment for S p ech Correction wor k Doctor Steele described the difficulty of securing the proper professional equipment through the Department of Property and Supplies. Doctor Rohrbach stated that the Purchasing Department of the Department of Property and Supplies is willing to view a demonstration of the type of machine in which Doctor Steele and he are interested, provided other machines of similar type are demonstrated at the same time. Doctor Ade suggested that the Presidents write directly to his office when requisitions for professional and technical equipment are not filled as requested. K. Report of Faculty Conference Committee Mr. Swope, Chairman of the Committee, submitted the following report: "REPORT OF THE FaCULTY CONFERENCE COMMITTEE The committee appointed to study the advisability of holding a conference of the faculties of the State Teachers Colleges considered various elements of the question. The value of such a conference to develop mutual understanding and appreciation of the problems confronting each institution was recognized. A faculty conference would afford an opportunity for broadened contacts and free discussion of vital problems of teacher education. Without the proper encouragement of our teachers to extend their outlook to encompass the present day challenges of education, there is apt to grow in our institutions a certain insulation of ideas and a smugness of thought curbing progressive advance of teacher education. A faculty conference would also make it possible to coordinate present fluid educational practices and theories in teacher education. In short, a purpose of State anew the to define faculty conference would tend Teachers Colleges and to investigate modern viewpoints in teacher education. Undoubtedly, this effort would prove mutually beneficial to each of our institutions. Further, it was the sense of the committee that such a conference would receive the wholehearted support of the faculty groups concerned* -1083- Against the many advantages of holding a conference, the committee could not ignore certain questions of immediate importance. The time to plan a conference is short and the money available is scarce. As all phases of present-day living aid in a state of flux and change, it is equally evident that State Teachers Colleges are passing through a definite transitional period. As a result, many of the fundamental problems concerned with teacher education are in a nebulous and undefined state. The satisfactory solution of some of these questions requires more than open discussion. Fundamental changes in curricula, for instance, may require legislation and may be dependent upon increased appropriations of money. Upon consideration of the various issues involved in holding a faculty conference, the committee wishes to submit for your consideration and discussion the following proposals: Believing that college faculties should 1. be encouraged to have more frequent and intimate contact with public school problems, the committee recommends that the faculty of each institution be invited to attend the Education Congress to be held on October 8th and 9th in the Education Building, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Plans for the satisfactory operation of the college during the absence of teachers are to be made by each president. The committee recommends that a conference of the teacher college faculties be arranged early for the year 1937-38. It is thought important to study the time and place of the meeting and to define its purpose clearly. 2. Respectfully submitted Q. A. W. P.ohrbach Albert Lindsay Rowland Henry Klonower Charles S. Swope, Chairman On motion of Mr. Swope, seconded by Doctor Haas it was voted to accept the report as read. -1084- L . Un i f o rmity in the three years of e duca t on for a State Standar d Limited Certificate On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Rohrbach it was voted that this item be referred to the Curricular Revision Committee for study. M . Rep ort of Fee C ommittee re "Advisabilit y of a unifo rm housing and b o ar ding fee for s ummer s ch ool studen ts for five days a week" Doctor Haas, Chairman of the Fee Committee, asked that this item be held over until the next meeting of the Board. " F ield trips for cre di t This item was held over for the next meeting- of the Board III. New Business A. C lassifica tion on th irty- six weeks b asis Doctor Klonower stated that, since all members of the staff who are on the instructional payroll should be on a thirtysix weeks basis, with the exception of the President, he had written a letter to each member of the board advising him of the change which should be made. It was agreed that no salaries should be increased due to this change but that the salary of each member of the staff who is now on the fifty- two weeks basis should be divided as follows: 6/7 of the present salary for the thirty- six weeks, and 1/7 of the present salary for the summer session. If the instructor is employed for the post-summer session, he will receive one- half of the summer session. B E valuat i on_ of credits from State Tea chers Co lleges for pre-professional pu rposes Doctor Ross read the following paragraphs from a letter he received from Edward A. Green, Registrar of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy: -1085- "Inasmuch as all admissions to this College, for the purpose of preparing for the practice of osteopathy in the State of Pennsylvania, must be passed upon by the Pre-Professional Bureau of the Pennsylvania Department of public Instruction, we are compelled to make the above mentioned request. This Bureau has refused to accept the credits from any of the State Normal Colleges, and has required that all such credits shall be evaluated by an approved College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. "Personally, I quite agree with you that this is a most circuitous route, but I do believe that you will readily recognize my position and will, therefore, take up the matter with the Bureau which I have mentioned. The Chairman of this Bureau is Mr. James G. Pentz. His office is in the State Department of Public Instruction at Karrisburg, Pennsylvania." It was decided that Doctor Newpher and Mr. Pentz should be asked to appear beforo the Board at its meeting in November to clarify this matter. C• Ent ranc e^ re qui reme nt s to State Teachers Co lleges Doctor Llonower raised a question concerning the admission of a student to a State Teachers College who has fifteen high school units and is not a teacher in-service. It was brougnt out that the State Teachers Colleges have no discretion in the matter. Not anyone may be admitted to a State Teachers College unless such a person has completed an approved four-year high school education, holds an equivalent high school certificate issued by the Department of Public Instruction, or has been a teacher or is a teacher in-service. 1 D. The dating of s heepskin s On motion of Doctor Pohrbach, seconded by Doctor Rowland it was voted that sheepskins should be dated on the date when the person sat isfaetori ly meets the requirements for graduation. E Program of the National Committee for Mental Hygiene Doctor Klonower read the following letter from the National Committee for Mental Hygiene under date of August 31, 1936 "In 1955, the National Committee for Mental Hygiene investigated the mental hygiene aspects of -1086- teacher training and selection. It was found that many teachers continue in the classroom after they are known to be mentally disordered and many more are teaching whose mental ill health, though less severe, is incompatible with good teaching. Often the retirement of such teachers is obstructed by political and other interferences. "Some of these teachers have been in poor mental health since their student days when careful selection might have given them the advantage of earlier treatment or of choosing another career less hazardous to themselves and to growing children. "Since the proper selection of students to develop into mentally healthy teachers is crucial, the National Committee for Mental Hygiene is centering its attention on that point. It is the hope that eventually we may have better criteria of selection of students for training as teachers, and that we ray be able to remove some of the obstacles to the use of these criteria, political interference, pressure for large enrollment, concealing the facts about applicatants, etc. The National Committee for Mental Hygiene can, of course, not create or define these criteria. It can encourage effort in this direction, act as an intermediary and clearing house for information, and expose the obstacles to good selection. The colleges and normal schools are the laboratories where new ways will be found. Insofar as our present gross criteria are applied diligently, the refinements of selection will follow. "The National Committee for Mental Hygiene would like to bring together and lend its sanction to those schools that are interested in taking active steps in the refinement of selection. It is hereby inviting such schools as may wish to enter into the project, to formulate a practical experiment in some phase of selection which it can pursue diligently and continuously. The National Committee for Mental Hygiene as its part will give expressed sanction to those scnools that participate, will secure helpful criticism for the guidance of such studies, will bring related studies into mutual contact or collaboration, and will attempt to bring the results to practical use. Will you not let us have a letter expressing what you as a school are in a position to work on? This may have to do with the preliminary investigation of applicants, with their examination for admission, their follow-up after acceptance, with the obstacles to the use of what you already know to do, or any other phase that may appeal to you as important." -1087- On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor P.iemer it was voted that this matter be referred to the Committee on Entrance Requirements for study. F . Regulations pe rta ini ng to the opera tio n of 16 mm proj ecti ng machines Doctor Klonower read the following letter received by Doctor Ade under date of September 9, 1936 from Honorable Ralph M. Bashore, Secretary of Labor and Industry: "In reply to your letter of September 3, in which you request certain information relative to the operation of 16 ram projection machines, our regulations governing the operation of motion picture projectors provide that all persons who operate projectors must either secure a license or registration card which is issued by this Department "Due to the extensive use of 16 ram projectors for classroom instruction purposes, our regulations have been modified so as to permit the issuance of a registration card covering both silent and sound projectors. This registration card covers the operation of 16 mm projectors with sound equipment for classroom instruction purposes only. If a projector with sound equipment is used for public exhibitions, the applicant must successfully pass an examination before the license card will be issued. There is no fee charged for the registration card for classroom instruction purposes. "These licenses and registration cards are issued by the Buildings Division of this Department from whom the applicants can secure the necessary application forms and other information. "We have issued registration cards to a large nunber of pupils of the various state teachers colleges who have taken a post-graduate course in visual education. "I am enclosing a copy of our Regulations covering Motion Pictures." -1088- G. Uni form i nterpretation of the words "begin their pr ofessional ej^9i1j.^g n_ for teaching in the elementary s chools sub segue nt_ to Januar y 1, 1937 " Doctor Klonower stated that the interpretation has been that a year of preparation indicates that a teacher has begun her preparation before January 1, 1937. Doctor Ade suggested that it is matriculation in an approved institution and suggested that perhaps one semester Flight be the minimum. On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Mr. Swope, it was voted that the phrase "begin their professional education for teaching in the elementary schools subsequent to January 1, 1937" be given its strictest interpretation and that all students who have completed any amount of preparation be allowed to qualify for the State standard limited certificate on the basis of the two-year requirement. ** Interpretation of the resolution re the addit ion of elementary certific at ion to se condary cert i f i cat e On motion of Doctor Ross, seconded by Doctor Rowland it was voted that this item be postponed until the next meeting of the Board.

B. on the p assing of Doctor Will iam K.

II. Unfinished Business A. Report of the Ourricular Revision Committee •1093- 1. A uniform table for reporting all laboratory courses to the American Association of Teachers Colleges Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision Committee, submitted the following report of the Committee: "Report of the Curriculum Revision Committee Regarding: A Uniform Method of Computing Equivalence of Recitation Periods in Reporting Teaching Loai to the American Association of Teachers Colleges Standard V - Teaching Load of Faculty. The following teaching load shall be the maximum for a teachers college or normal school faculty: 16 recitation periods Equivalence not exceeding 60 minutes each week or its equivalent. shall be based upon the ratio of one class period to one and onehalf class periods in shop, laboratory work and physical education. In the courses offered in the elementary, secondary, and the special curriculum, the ratio between clock hours and semester hours for different courses varies widely from the uniform two to one ratio generally accepted for laboratory work. Since there appears to be variation in computing equivalence, this Committee recommends that the following table be used for reporting faculty load to the American Association of Teachers Colleges until Standard V quoted above is revised.

It was brought out that this revision should be put into effect in the fall of 1937 and should be completed in sufficient time so that the announcement could be made in the 1937 catalogs of the institutions. Doctor Steele emphasized the fact that the proposal is not an attempt to set up a junior college situation as such. It is believed that a more efficient and more productive type of professional education may be given with a basic background of this type. The professional work of which there is a very small amount compared ;dth the present two years is designed to be of equal value to all citizens, yet particularly valuable to the prospective teacher. The purpose is not to get into the liberal arts field but to meet the criticism that there is an over-amount of professional courses and a scarcity of content courses in the present set-up. It v.as brought put that no modification in the law is required to put this revision of the first two years of the curriculum into effect and that the sole purpose of the revision is to present an enriched academic background in the early period of teacher education. For that purpose there is presented a curriculum that transfers some of the professional courses to the last two years and transfers some of the academic and cultural courses from the last two years to the first two years. -1097- Doctor Rowland raised a question as to whether the Committee had thought of reducing the number of required courses and increasing the number of elective courses in order to allow the student greater freedom in the selection of courses of particular interest. Doctor Steele replied that the Committee had attempted to avoid an approach to this problem that would come from the building The Committee felt that in up of demands from interested groups. the sixty-four semester hours remaining in the last two years there would be ample opportunity for the student to gradually enrich the elective offerings. Doctor Rowland asked whether there is going to be any movement to modify the law which requires the State Teachers Colleges to enroll only those students who sign an agreement to teach for two years in Pennsylvania. Doctor Klonower replied that the matter had been discussed and that such a modification would be suggested at the next session of the Legislature. Doctor Steele again emphasized the fact that this modification in the law is not necessary to set up the proposed revision since it is not the intention to set up a junior college situation. However, such a modification would give the State Teachers Colleges two years during which it could be determined whether the student is fitted for the teaching profession. On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Rowland it was voted that the report be subjected to the most careful study by the members of the Board and by the faculties of the institutions and that a report in writing be made to the Committee not later than December 10, the report from each institution to indicate suggested changes in the set-up or raise questions concerning the proposed set-up. Doctor Steele further suggested that the Committee would like to emphasize the fact that, if suggested additions to the curriculum are made, suggestions also be made as to the courses to be eliminated which would profitably make room for the additions. Doctor Klonower stated that these two years must be studied in connection with the remaining two years of the present four-year curriculum. 3. Uniformity in the th re e ye ars of education for a State Standard Limited Certificate -1098- 4 The content and arrangement of the fourth year of the elementary curriculum for students who hav e se cured the State Standard Limit ed Certificate on a three year basis and have had teaching experience Doctor Steele stated that the Committee had not yet attempted to revise the third and fourth years of the curriculum since this is bound up so closely with the proposed revision of the first t^o years. 5. The English- Speech Curriculum Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision Committee presented the following report of the Committee: "Report of the Curriculum Revision Committee Regarding: Speech Curriculum The Curriculum Revision Committee believes that in certain areas of the State there is need for an additional elective field to be known as SPEECH, this field to be comparable to the elective fields now offered in the secondary curriculum as English, Science, Mathematics, Geography, etc. Speech will be open as an elective field - first - to students pursuing the Secondary Curriculum to be administered on the same basis as existing fields in this curriculum second - to students in the Elementary Curriculum as free electives during the course of the curriculum and/or subsequent to graduation. When a minimum of 18 semester hours of work in Speech has been completed, holders of the college certificate valid in the elementary field may have SPEECH added to the certificate. Elective Arrangement in Speech I. clock hours semester hours Required of all Freslimen: a. II, .

That an elective field in Speech as outlined above be added to the curriculum. 2. That authority to offer work in Speech may be given to the State Teachers Colleges by the State Superintendent on satisfactory evidence a. That a demand for teachers in Speech exists in the area served by the Teachers College b. That the facilities, equipment, and staff of the College are adequate and competent to carry on this work on a high degree of efficiency. Proper preparation in the field to be at least the Master's degree or its equivalent in the fields of Speech or Dramatics, such work to have been taken in a recognized graduate school having special departments of speech and dramatics. The minimum equipment shall include an audiometer and a speech recording and reproducing instrument. -1100- Respectfully submitted, Curriculum Revision Committee T. T. Allen Q. A. W. Rohrbach Henry Klonower Robert M. Steele, Chairman" November 20, 1936 Doctor Steele added that the Committee in formulating this report had covered practically every such curriculum offered in a State Teachers College and in such institutions as Northwestern University, Michigan and Iowa universities. Doctor Rowland raised a question as to whether there will be a demand on the part of school districts for teachers equipped with this preparation which would justify the expense of operating such .an additional elective field. It was trough t out that such a demand must exist before the State Superintendent of Public Instruction would approve the offering of this work in any institution. Doctor Steele also stated that the Committee felt that such a demand does exist. Doctor Haas asked what the cost of the "minimum equipment" would be. be from Doctor Rohrbach replied that the cost for equipment would to $1000 plus one additional faculty member. ,;j80C On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Ross it -was vote d that the report be studied carefully by each President and their reactions sent to Doctor Steele by December 10 so that a further report may be made at the next meeting of the Board. 6. Rearrangement of the elective fields for prospective secondary school teacners Doctor Steele stated that this item docket because of the confusion in the minds of education for the elective fields. It is eighteen semester hours of work is the limit the State Teacners Colleges. -1101- had been placed on the of some as to the extent the common feeling that given in any subject in The Committee recommended that the catalogues of the State Teachers Colleges indicate the required courses in the several fields as well as the elective opportunities; the fact should be clearly developed in tne catalogues that although eighteen semester hours are required as a major there are still eighteen hours to be completed as required work for certification in the field. This should be noted in the catalogues and the requirement indicated as thirty- six semester hours rather than eighteen semester hours. This same plan should be followed for all the other subjects in the. secondary field. The Committee recommends that the catalogues of the State Teachers Colleges follow the following arrangement of courses offered in the secondary curriculum: 1. Courses required of all candidates for a degree in the State Teachers Colleges English Social Studies Science 18 s.h. * 18 s.h. electives « 56 s.h. " " + 18 electives = 30 " 12 " +18 " electives = 24 " 6 *For complete report see pages 1121-1122. It was suggested that tne State Council of Education should be asked to increase the certification requirements to conform with the requirements for graduation. 7 . Revision of the Health Education Curriculum Doctor Steele submitted the following report of the Curricular Revision Committee: "Report of the Curriculum Revision Committee Regarding: Adjustments and Changes in Speci al Curricula Since the four year curriculum in Health and physical Education was approved in 1928, certain changes in the thinking and practice in this field have been recommended by the Department of School Health and Physical Education of the National Education Association and other accrediting agencies. It seems wise to this committee, therefore, to suggest to the Board of Presidents that the heads of the special departments of Health and Physical Education together with the Presidents of the institutions in which such a curriculum is offered, constitute a committee to advise the Curriculum Revision Committee of the changes needed. -1102- The Curriculum Revision Committee recommends that it be authorized to report subsequently to the Board of presidents changes agreed upon by the heads of the special departments and the presidents of the colleges concerned in order that the Health and Physical Education curriculum may be brought into line with approved present practice. Respectfully submitted, November 20, 1956 Curriculum Revision Committee T. T. Allen Q,. A. W. Rohrbach Henry Klonower Robert M. Steele, Chairman" On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Armstrong unanimously vote d that the report be accepted for study by the heads of the Departments and the Presidents and that' their reactions be submitted to the Committee prior to the next meeting it was of the Board. It was furtner suggested that Doctor Klonower call a meeting of the Heads of the Departments of Health Education and the Presidents of the institutions in which this special curriculum is offered. Doctor Rohrbach suggested that all special curricula be studied in this way. 8. Quality Point System and Periods Test- Doctor Steele submitted the following report for the Curricular Revision Committee; "Report of the Curriculum Revision Committee Regarding: Quality P oi nt Systems, Test Periods, etc . Following an informal discussion at the last meeting of the Board of Presidents, an inquiry was sent to the members of the Board requesting certain information regarding the grading systems in use, the test periods, and specific scholarship requirements for student teaching, secondary majors, et cetera. A tabulation of the information secured is furnished herewith. The Curriculum Committee calls attention to extracts from Section 2005 of the School Laws: -1105- 'The Board of Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges shall consist of the presidents of the several colleges and the Superintendent of Public Instruction 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 shall, when approved by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, be binding upon all of the colleges.' . . In view of the extent to which quality point systems or other specific scholastic requirements are used in the various Teachers Colleges, and further in view of the questions raise:! regarding the legality of such individual requirements, the Curriculum Revision Committee recommends to the Board a careful study of rating systems based on objective tests. It recommends further, with the purpose of guaranteeing a minimum quality of instruction in the various courses, that the Board study the possibilities of developing uniform objective tests which may be used to supplement tests now in use. The Committee recommends that experimental work in preparing such uniform tests begin with two subjects, one professional and one academic, and the Committee requests the authority of the Board to proceed with this work. respectfully submitted, Curriculum Revision Committee T.

In connection with the discussion of tests, Doctor Klonower distributed to the members of the Board a Bulletin of Information on the International Test Scoring Machine concerning which Doctor Ben D. Wood, Director of the Bureau of Collegiate Research of Columbia University, had appeared before the Board at a previous meeting. B . Report of committee re "recogni tion by the Mid d e States Associat ion " Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the Committee, submitted the following report: "Report of the Committee on Recognition of the State Teachers Colleges by the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Middle States and Maryland to The Board of Presidents November £1, 1936 Gentlemen: As previously reported to you, the special committee appointed by the Association to set up standards for accreditment for the State Teachers Colleges, will meet prior to the annual meeting of the Association following Thanksgiving, and will report to the annual meeting, presumably presenting .the standards submitted to this Board by the committee at a previous meeting. At that time it was suggested that your chairman secure from each of the presidents a judgment of the application of Standard V to his institution. Standard V, it will be remembered, deals v.ith the size, preparation and teaching load of the faculty and suggests for a college of approximately 100 students in a single curriculum a faculty of at least 8 with a corresponding increase in faculty for an increase in student body. It further suggests that the members of the faculty of professorial rank should have at least two years of post graduate study in tneir respective fields pursued in a recognized graduate school; and finally that the teaching schedules should , -1108- not exceed 16 hours per ueek per instructor and that classes of more than 30 students be interpreted as endangering educational efficiency. The following is a table indicating the status of the State Teachers Colleges with reference to these standards: Name of College No. full-time Enrollmen Bloomsburg California Cheyney Clarion E.Stroudsburg Edinboro Indiana Kutztown Lock Haven Mansfield Millersville Shippensburg Slippery Rock 'West Chester 687 741 155 192 564 285 1319 495 412 580 510 465 659 1262 instructors Too small 44 Doctor's degree or equivalent Median size of classes Reported satisfactory 30 9 No information rec'd Satisfactory 3 Satisfactory 30 41 9 27 5 Inf. not rec'd No information rec'd 37 7 Inf.not rec'd No information rec'd Satisfactory Satisfactory 15 Satisfactory Satisfactory 5 33 30 6 Satisfactory 57 classes over Satisfactory 30 Specific information not given 30-35" Un motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Haas and Doctor Riemer it was voted that the report of the committee be accepted.

Report of Budget Committee 1. - 1957-59 Salary Adjustments Doctor Miller, Chairman of the Budget Committee, reported He stated that there was no report on item 1 at for the Committee. this time. At this point Doctor Ade stated that he had appointed a Committee on Salary Adjustments to consider the very unusual cases which had been presented to him and to Doctor Klonower from time to time. The Committee consists of Mr. Swope, Doctor Haas, Doctor Miller, and Doctor Klono*>er. 2. Allocations for 1957-38 Doctor Miller stated that the Committee had no report on make at this time.

Adjustme nt of cooperative teacher r e imburs ement for t e bienn i rn, 1937-59 Doctor Miller, Chairman of the Budget Committee, submitted the following report for the Committee: "Report of the Budget Committee The Budget Committee recommends that a change be made in the method of payment of cooperative teachers effective the beginning of the next biennium. The Committee recommends that all cooperative teachers be paid on the basis of a unit of service as follows: 1. A unit of servi3e is to be interpreted as the assignment of one student teacher per cooperative teacher for one period a day for one semester. 2. That cooperative teachers shall be paid an initial salary of $25 per unit of service wi,th increments of $5 per year until a maximum of ^50 per unit is reached. The salaries of present cooperative teachers will be adjusted on the basis of past experience a^s. cooperative teachers within the institution. -1110- '.' '". .' ' '•'•'. 'I ..( ' !

Respectfully submitted, Francis B. Haas Carmon Ross T. T. Allen A. W. Rohrbach Q,. C. S. Miller, Chairman" November 20, 1936 Doctor Rowland stated he had taKen the matter up with his cooperative teacners and that they had two principal objections to the plan; first, that there is no provision for increments based on advanced preparation, and second, that the amount of $25 per unit of service is inadequate. There was considerable discussion concerning the definition of the "unit of service" and there appeared to be considerable lack of uniformity in the interpretation of this definition. On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Rowland it was voted that the report be referred back to the Budfeet Committee for furtner clarification and report at the next meeting of the Board. Doctor Rowland emphasized the fact that there are two factors which should seriously be considered before putting such a plan into effect; first, the good will of the community and second, tne relationship of professional growth to the increments of salary. 4 . R anking of faculty members Doctor Miller stated that Doctor Rohrbach is working on this item and is collecting data on the subject. A report will be submitted at the next meeting of the Board. F.

Doctor Haas suggested that a prerequisite might be set up which would allow only those students who had had these subjects in the elementary or high school to enter the State Teachers Colleges. Doctor Ade suggested that Doctor Klonower gather the facts in the matter and present them before the Administrative Council of the Department of Public Instruction to see what the Department could do to help.

F S ervice area in-service t eacher education and supervisors Doctor Cressman, Director of the Bureau of Instruction, appeared before the Board to present an experimental program for the improvement of instruction in the secondary schools. In this program the State Teachers Colleges ,»ould cooperate with the Bureau of Instruction by furnishing specialists in the various subject fields to go into the high schools as "visitors." These persons might spend a full day going over the high school and, at the the end of the day, meet the high school teacher of the particular subject and go over problems with him. The reports of the persons acting as "visitors" from the Bureau of Instruction and from the State Teachers College in the service area of the high school would then be combined and sent to the high school. r a discussion of the expenses involved on the part of these instructors in the State Teachers colleges brought out the fact that such expenses should be borne by the high school which invites the instructor to visit the school.

Doctor Miller suggested that Doctor Rowland send a copy of his report to Doctor Klonower to each President for his guidance. Doctor Fausold suggested that the Presidents might request that sound films be purchased by the State Library to supplement the programs developed in the State Teachers Colleges. L.

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION TEACHER DIVISION Harrisburg MEETING - DEANS OF INSTRUCTION OF THE STATE TEACHERS COLLEGES Tuesday October 20, 193* - State Council Chamber - 9:30 A.M. MINUTES The meeting of the Deans of Instruction of the State Teachers Colleges was Those present were: called to order at 9:30 A.M. Dean Vv. B. Sutliff Bloomsburg Dean Harry L. Kriner, California Dean Lawrence Foster, Cheyney Mr. Clair E. Carey, Clarion Dean Charles Naegle, East Stroudsburg Dean W. A. Wheatley, Edinboro Dr. M. J". Walsh, Acting President, Indiana Mr. Joseph M. Uhler, Acting Dean, Indiana Dean Clark R. McClelland, Kutztown Dean R. Stewart MacDougall, Lock Haven Dr. Arthur T. Belknap, Acting President, Mansfield Dean Homer F. Dilworth, Millersville Dr. Albert Lindsay Rowland, President, Shippensburg Dr. J". Linwood Eisenberg, Shippensburg Dean John A. Entz, Slippery Rock Dean W. W. Menhennett, West Chester , Henry Klonower, Director, Teacher Education and Certification Jonas E. Vvagner, Supervisor, Elementary Teacher Education and Certification J. K. Bowman, Supervisor, Secondary Teacher Education and Certification and Placement Service Mr. Wagner opened the meeting ftith a short address of welcome. 1. Evaluation criteria in connection with students who completed the first two years of the four-year curriculum in elementary education and then desire to return to complete the requirements for secondary certification. Dean Menhennett suggested that it is the present general practice to require those wno complete the first two years of the four-year curriculum in elementary education and then desire to transfer to a secondary curriculum to complete all of the remaining courses in the secondary curriculum as set up by the Board of Presidents of tne State Teachers Colleges. He suggested, however, that something should be done along the same line as is now the practice in connection with the extension of a secondary certificate to include teaching in the elementary grades. Mr. Bowiban explained that under an old Department ruling, the holder of a normal school certificate or diploma who has earned his college degree, is credited with the fulfillment of the requirements in professional education and student teaching for the provisional college certificate to teach high school subjects. Dean Sutliff stated that it was a practice in his institution to regard holders of a degree in elementary education with, six semester hours in secondary education, six semester hours of student teaching in the secondary field and eighteen semester hours in a particular subject field qualified to teach the subject. Dean Belknap raised the question as to the status of credit for student teaching completed years ago when the present institutions were state normal schools. Particularly, would such teaching be granted secondary credit provided the work was done above the sixth grade? Reply was made by Mr. Bowman ta the effect that it was the practice to grant full credit for such student teaching. Another point presented by Dean Sutliff refers specifically to the cases of young people who have completed two years and then for economic reasons must drop out of college. These students come back to the institution for summer school or Saturday classes and wish to earn all possible credits toward a degree in the secondary field and yet meet the twelve semester hours for the renewal of the state standard limited certificates they hold. In b*4ef they are trying to remain in service in the elementary field with the thought of earning sufficient money gradually to complete the requirements for a degree in secondary education. The discussion that followed pointed clearly to the fact that regardless of the motive of the student there was no way whereby the regulations of the state Council of Education could be waived with respect to offering a preparation for renewal purposes other than through courses that would originally be approved for meeting the requirements for a degree in elementary education. , Mr. Wagner stated that considerable difficulty was being experienced with the administration of the renewal requirements for a state standard limited certificate. Even though considerable thought was given to the general plan for the renewal of such certificates at the time the new requirements were announced, and a continuous effort has been made ever since to acquaint students with such requirements, there are still many applicants who seem to understand that it is simply a matter of completing twelve additional semester hours in any field in order to meet the requirements. It is obvious that when a transcript is offered representing the completion of twelve hours of college work that has little relation to elementary certification, that embarrassing problems will result. He urged the -2- Deans to bring to the attention of students the information that in the selection of the courses for renewal purposes such courses should be chosen from the third year in a standard elementary curriculum and then from the fourth year or in such combination of the third and fourth years as will be easily administered by the respective institution. Dean Wheatly asked whether an applicant who has completed eighty semester hours before beginning to teach would be credited with tvtelve semester hours for a first renewal, He stated further Mr, Wagner answered in the affirmative. that three-year people are credited toward renewals until their credits are exhausted. 11. Credit for Teaching experience under the action of the Board of Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges, as of May 30, 1936. A few of the Deans reported projects under way which have been organized in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of the action of the Board of Presidents of May 20, 1936. There did not seem to be sufficient experience, however, to draw any definite conclusions as to the degree of success that will attend the plan. The discussion under this item centered mostly in the problem controlling the number of hours in student teaching or in any other field that would be accepted during a single semester. Since most of the applicants offering substitute plans to meet the student teaching requirement are rather mature and are teachers- in- service, there is a temptation to try to remove this particular requirement in the shortest possible The teachers colleges are in a position to control the time. situation but it seems to be the experience of a number of these institutions that when certain teachers- in-service are not able to accomplish their ends through the completion of more than six semester hours a semester, they apply to other institutions where a more sympathetic view is taken of their problem. In a checking over of the position taken by the group present it was found that in general they all adhere strictly to the per semester standard* In a few instances the institution was willing to permit seven semester hours if such resulted in completing iaf full the requirements for certification. III. Principles governing the use of substitute courses, particularly as applied to admissions on transfer from other institutions. a. All courses used for credit when transferring from another institution to a State Teachers College shall be from properly accredited institutions only. -3- b. Courses generally similar in character shall be accepted to the extent of the value given in the curriculum in the State Teachers College. c. Credit shall be granted hour for hour for closelyrelated courses. For example, a course in advanced physics completed in a non- State Teachers College may be accepted for the same number of hours in an appropriate course in a State Teachers College. Mr. VTagner stated that in all cases of applicants who completed the normal school work some years ago credit for only one course in psychology was given. He took this position for the reason that graduates from a State Teachers College today should have a modern viewpoint in the field of psychology. He stated further that there was frequently a question as to the wisdom of accepting School Management as Since the latter a substitute for Introduction to Teaching. course as is given today is so rich in its content with respect to meeting modern classroom practice, there was doubt in his mind about accepting the course in School Management of some years agoi IV. Problems associated with the administration of the Post-Session. Each Dean reported rather fully his experience with the administration of the Post-Session. It was the general opinion of those present that the intensive courses given during the three weeks of the Post-Session, with three semester hours of credit, had higher qualitative value than when given for the same amount of credit during a regular semester. Dean Dilworth suggested that the chief problem met in his institution was the matter of sufficient money to operate on a satisfactory basis. No class was permitted to be organized unless there was a minimum of ten students. This statement was supplemented by President Rowland who reported that it was his understanding that in one institution at least ten people were grouped in one class but were taking five different courses at the same time under the same instructor. It was also stated by him that the Board of Presidents has taken the position that the summer school is a part of the total instructional service and financially may cost more than the revenue derived. The meeting was now adjourned until one o'clock. V. Proper sequence in connection with the twelve semester hours required to renew a State Standard Limited Certificate, A number of problems are arising in connection with the carrying out of the requirements of the State Council of Education with respect to the twelve semester hours required -4- Summing up the various opinions to renew the certificate. of the Deans it seemed to be the general feeling that it will not be possible to adhere strictly to the letter of the regulations with respect to each applicant placing on file a certified statement that the twelve semester hours offered are part of the third and fourth years, respectively, of an approved degree curriculum in elementary education. In other words, it was felt that the administration of this provision of the regulations would have to be to a great degree a matter of judgment. With all the publicity that has thus far been given to the conditions on which such a certificate will be initially issued and subsequently renewed, the great majority of applicants do not seem to have grasped in full the significance of It was therefore concluded that until more the regulation. experience is available on the working out of this certificate, the matter of judgment will have to play the leading role. Dean Naegle reported that there is evidence almost every day in his institution that the students are expecting to be more restricted in the matter of choosing courses. More and more they are inquiring whether or not certain courses will be accepted toward a degree in the particular curriculum in which they are interested. Dean Sutliff suggested that it would be a good plan for all institutions to include in their latest catalogue a statement with respect to the revised regulations governing the issue of a state standard limited certificate, effective as of January 1, 1937. VI. The normal school certificate as a basis for meeting student teaching in the secondary field. On the basis of an interpretation made by the Teacher Bureau, January 21, 1924, a normal school graduate is credited with the fulfillment of the twelve semester hours in professional education and six semester hours in student teaching required for the provisional college certificate. This is a general practice which it was felt should be modified. It was the opinion of Mr. Bowman that a normal school graduate who has completed six semester hours in student teaching in grades above the sixth should be credited with the fulfillment of the student teaching required for the provisional college certificate to teach high school subjects. Normal school graduates who have not had this required student teaching should be required to complete an additional course in this field to qualify for the college certificate to teach high school subjects. It is understood, of course, that actual teaching experience in grades above -5- the sixth may he accepted in discharge of the student teaching required for the college certificate to teach high school subjects. The difficulty that arises in following some such practice as suggested above, is that the records of normal school graduates in the Registrar's office do not indicate in what grades a graduate completed his student teaching, VII. Minimum requirements for adding specific high school subjects to a secondary certificate. In the opinion of Mr. Bowman the present practice of adding high school subjects has certain weaknesses which should be corrected. For example, it is possible to obtain certification to teach physics with as little as three semester hours in physics. To correct this difficulty a differential between the minimum requirements in different subject fields should be made. For example, physical science could be added to a college certificate on a minimum of eighteen semester hours in physical science including at least six semester hours in chemistry and six semester hours in physics, and biological science on the same minimum requirement including at least six semester hours in botany and six semester hours in zoology. Blanket certification to teach science would be added to a college certificate on a minimum of thirty semester hours of college preparation in the subject including certain prescribed minimums. Also, certification in the field of social studies is frequently the basis of misunderstanding. Mr. Bowman stated that in few instances certain courses have been used to satisfy both the history and the social science requirements for a blanket certification in the field of social studies. There must be a minimum, however, of nine semester hours in history and nine semester hours in social science. Twelve semester hours in social science and six semester hours in history will not satisfy the requirement. VIII. How can the Teacher Education and Certification Office be more helpful to Deans of Instruction? In the opinion of Dean Sutliff one of the best services rendered by the Teacher Education Office is in the matter of making final decisions with respect to individual cases. Such decisions coming from a single source strengthens the seojyice. Dean Belknap contrasted the type of service received from the Pennsylvania Department -of Education with that of other states. Mr, Wagner stated that it was a policy of the office to send -6- v:r;. to the institutions a carbon copy of all correspondence initiated by students in the several institutions who were not satisfied with decisions made in the local office. IX. Some problems in connection with an increasing trend in the direction of a more selective admission requirement. Among the items discussed were the problems of the limitation of enrollment as related to the scholastically poor student, the problem of crippled applicants who are otherwise very good students, and the personality problem. Dean Dilworth raised the question as to whether or not an institution may refuse to accept a perfectly normal student who has a high school certificate. X. Miscellaneous problems to be presented by individual Deans* Dean Wheatly asked whether Technique of Teaching is a required course. Some bulletins, he stated, do not list it as such. The answer was that the course is required % Dean Sutliff stated that the secondary students teach the entire year and once a week have technique work given by the instructor who supervises their daily work. Dean Menhennett added that the supervisor for teaching checks all technique. Dean McClelland brought to the attention of the meeting a problem in connection with the four semester-hour course in the Philosophy of Education. He stated that it included a good bit of theory that is crammed for in order to pass an examination and then quickly disappears. Also, he raised the question about the twohour provision for a course in Tests and Measurements, the time being entirely too limited to give the student any satisfactory compensation of the subject. He suggested that these problems should be brought to the attention of the Curricular Revision Committee of the Board of Presidents. Dean Wheatly asked whether a provisional college certificate in the secondary field could be made permanent by the addition of elementary subjects with no other six hours of preparation, The reply was made by Mr. Bowman that such could be done. If the six additional hours of work were completed subsequent to the granting of the baccalaureate degree, the requirements for permanent certification would be satisfied, The meeting was formally adjourned at three o'clock. -7- Commonwealth of Pennsylvania DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION TEACHER DIVISION Harrisburg MEETING OF THE BOARD OF PRESIDENTS, STATE TEACHERS COLLEGES Friday, January 15, 1937 DOCKET I.

II. Unfinished Business A. Report of the Curricular Revision Committee 1. Revision of Curriculum 2. Unifo rmity in the three years of education for a State Standard Limited Certificate 3. The content and arrangement of the fourth year of the elementary curriculum for students who have secured the State Standard Limited Certificate on a three year basis and have had teaching experience Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision Committee, submitted for discussion a report covering the basio two years of the curriculum, the last two years of the elementary curriculum and the last two years of the secondary curriculum. It was brought out that the amount of professional work in the curriculum should be gradually increased from, perhaps, one course in the first year to practically entirely professional courses in the last semester of the last year. Doctor Rowland suggested the desirability of the basic two years of education for many students v/ho decide upon graduation from high school to enter the teaching profession, and who, after a course of time, may find that their choice was unwise. Since the work of the first two years could be used for other purposes, the time spent in a State Teachers College by such students would not be lost. Doctor Ade brought out the fact that this suggested revision of the curriculum is formulated in terms of the fact that the State Teachers Colleges will receive about the same amount of money as they received during the last biennium. At any time that additional money is received, the State Teachers Colleges could then provide for large groups of students who are not especially headed for the teaching profession. -1126- Doctor Allen stated that it would cost no more to administer the sixty-eight semester hours in the revised two years of the curriculum than it would to administer the sixtyeight semester hours in the present first two years of the curriculum. On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Steele it was unanimously voted that each President express his reaction to the curriculum as presented, that the Curricular Revision Committee give consideration to all suggestions during the period of adjournment for luncheon, and that a revised report be submitted when the Board reconvenes for the afternoon session. The Board adjourned for luncheon at 12:15 and reconvened at 1:30 o'clock.

On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Haas it was voted that the report be adopted. Mr. Swope voted "no". On motion of Doctor Ro7/land, seconded by Doctor Haas it was unanimously voted that the recommendation requiring each student to carry an extra-curricular activity during one semester of each year be modified as follows: All students are required to take part, without credit, in one physical education activity each semester in which no physical education courses or student teaching are required; and one other extra-curricular activity one semester each year. -1130- Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular rtevision Committee, presented the following recommendation; "The Curricular Revision Committee requests authority of this Board to act for the Board of State Teachers College Presidents in approving the required and elective courses in the FourYear Special Curriculums, such curriculums to be worked out with the President of institutions and heads of special curriculums concerned. The Committee also requests authority to prepare lists of required and elective courses in secondary subject fields for publication in the catalogs. It is understood that these lists will be developed from lists prepared by the subject instructors in each college and submitted T»y the President of each teachers college to this Committee." Doctor Steele stated that the elective offerings should not be quite as narrow as they had been in the past. In the social science field, the list should include those courses that are required in the curriculum, those additional courses which the instructors concerned with the social science field think are essential, and additional courses more than would be needed in any one institution. On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Ross it was voted that the recommendation be adopted. Doctor Steele presented the following report of the Curricular Revision Committee; "THE CURRICULUM REVISION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS: 1. That each student shall present as a requirement for graduation from the Secondary Curriculum, at least two subject fields for certification, one of which shall consist of not less than twenty- four semester hours. 2. That all courses carried in any subject matter field shall be counted toward certification. -1131- 3. That the Board of Teachers College Presidents request the State Council of Education to consider raising, as soon as possible, the present eighteen semester hour certification requirement in every subject matter field to twenty-f our semester hours. Respectfully submitted, T. T. Q. Allen A. W. Rohrbach Henry Klonower Robert M. Steele, Chairman January 14, 1937" It was brought out that at the present time the students in the State Teachers Colleges complete many more than the eighteen semester hours of credit now required for certification. In addition to the required courses in the curriculum which are not counted toward graduation and certification, the student must complete the full eighteen semester hours required for certification. On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Tanger it was unanimously voted that the recommendation be adopted. 4 i The English- Speech Curriculum Since this curriculum was adopted at the meeting of the Board November 20, 1936, there was no further discussion on this item. 5. Revision of the Health Education Curriculum Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision Committee, presented the following report based on a meeting of the Presidents and Heads of the Departments of Health and Physical Education of the institutions in which this four-year curriculum is offered together v^ith members of the Curricular Revision Committee: -1132- "REPORT OF THE CURRICTJLAR REVISION COMMITTEE Re: The Four Year Curriculum in Health and Physical Education leading to the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Health Education January 15, 1937 Your committee recommends the adoption of the following curriculum which has been agreed to by the Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges offering a four year curriculum in Health and Physical Education in conference with heads of the special departments from the same colleges and members of this committee: (Sequence of courses is subject to change for administrative reasons) First Semester English Biological Science Chemistry Personal Hygiene Appreciation of Music Physical Education Activities Totals Class Hours Semester Hrs.

Rohrbach Henry Klonower Robert M. Steele, Chairman" Doctor Miller stated that this revised curriculum would meet the requirements of the American Health and Physical Education Association in every respect. On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Miller it was unanimously voted that the report be adopted. Doctor Steele added that it is the intention to hold similar meetings of those concerned with each special curriculum in order that each special curriculum may be revised and brought up-to-date. -1134- 6.

E. Report of Budget Committee 1. - 1957-39 Salary Adjustments Doctor Miller, Chairman of the Budget Committee, stated that Doctor Haas wished to present a report of the sub-committee on salary adjustments. Doctor Haas submitted the following report: "REPORT 01 SALARY ADJUSTMENT COMMITTEE' The Salary Adjustment Committee presents, respectfully, the following report for the consideration of the Board of Presidents relative to the matter of adjusting the salaries of the present instructional force in order to remove present inequalities of salaries. A review of the cases submitted by the various Presidents appears to justify the consideration of two groups: first, those who were below th^ minimum to which they were entitled by training, experience, and service within the institution at the time the automatic operation of the Salary Schedule was suspended and second, those who since the time the automatic operation of the Salary Schedule was suspended have been transferred to a type of service within the institution which justifies a higher salary than the work of the position from which the transfer was made. -1135- The Committee recommends that the Superintendent of Fublic Instruction approve increases in accordance with the policies stated above, provided the money is now available in the budget of the institutions concerned for this purpose. Respectfully submitted, Miller Charles S. Swope C. S. J'rancis B. Haas, Chairman January 14, 1937" Doctor Rowland asked whether this recommendation would cover the cases of persons who were added to the faculties subsequent to the "freezing" of the Salary Schedule at a point below that to which they were entitled. Doctor Haas answered that the recommendation would cover such cases. He added that it covers all cases which the committee felt were special cases, but does not approve them. Doctor Reimer raised a question as to whether an adjusted salary would be adjusted back to September or adjusted from the present time. It was decided that this is a matter for the Superintendent to decide. On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Reimer it was unanimously voted that the report be accepted and that the* Superintendent of Public Instruction be requested to approve special cases covered by the report. ?.. Allocations for 1937-38 No report was submitted on this item. 3. Adjustment of cooperative teache r reimbursement for the bienniunl, 1937-3 9 Doctor Miller, Chairman of the Budget Committee, submitted the following report for the committee: -1136- "REPORT OF THE BUDGET COMMITTEE Re: The paying of cooperative teachers, January 15, 1937 The Budget Committee recommends the adoption of the following plan for the paying of Cooperative Teachers: 1. A unit of service is the amount of service required from a cooperative teacher in order that a student may naeet the practice teaching requirements of a four year curriculum. Cooperative teachers shall be paid on initial salary of $50 per unit of service. Those holding a Bachelor's degree shall be entitled to an increment of five dollars ($5.00) per year per unit of service until a maximum of seventy-five dollars ($75.00) is reached. Those holding a Master's degree shall be entitled to an increment of ten dollars ($10.00) per year per unit of service until a maximum of one hundred dollars ($100.00) per unit is reached. 2. 3. The salaries of present cooperative teachers may be adjusted on the basis of past experience as cooperative teachers within the institution. Respectfully submitted, W. Rohrbach Carmon Ross T. T. Allen Francis B. Haas C. S. Miller, Chairman" Q. A. Mr. Swope asked what happens to those cooperative teachers who hold no degree. Doctor Miller replied that those teachers would be paid a salary of $50.00 per unit of service, but would receive no increments until a bachelor* s degree had been earned. -1137- Doctor Allen raised a question as to whether this matter would have to be referred to the Executive Board for approval. Doctor Haas stated that, if the salaries provided in the plan are below the present approved Salary Schedule, he felt that the change could be made without presenting the matter to the Executive Board. Doctor Fausold stated that some of his salaries for cooperative teachers range from $1700 to &2950 and that he felt that this plan for payment of cooperative teachers would work a great hardship in his institution. He felt that salaries should be leveled up rather than leveled down. Doctor Haas stated that the schedule in effect at Indiana is the same schedule under which all the institutions are operated. The schedule provided that cooperative teachers should be paid $100 per year with an increment of ^100 per year. He adied that most of the institutions cannot support such a schedule. . Doctor Fausold stated that he felt that this proposed schedule would work out for some schools and for some areas, but not for all areas. He added that the cooperative teachers in Indiana Borough are practically the same as campus training teachers and are expected to render service to the institution in addition to the service rendered by cooperative teachers in other school districts. On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Tanger voted that the report be laid on the table for discussion at some future time. it was Doctor Allen asked if the solution might not be the addition of a fourth paragraph to the report to the effect that the plan shall not be retroactive. Doctor Haas stated that, in his opinion, we have two typas of situations. There are situations in which the institution has taken over a part of the town schools. The teachers in such schools are not cooperative in the general sense. 4, Ranking of faculty members Doctor Miller presented the following report of the Budget Committee: -1138- "REFORT OF THE BUDGET COIvMITTEE The ranking of faculty members Re: January 15, 1937 The Budget Committee has considered carefully the question of ranking of faculty members. Such a plan will serve to prevent too large instructors a number of from reaching the maximum salary and at the same time, will offer the opportunity for professional advancement within the institution. The committee, therefore, presents the following suggestions for your further consideration, with the idea that they will be studied carefully by each President and acted upon at the next meeting of the Board: Each institution shall be entitled to a minimum of eight full professorships. The number with rank of professors on a State Teachers College faculty shall not exceed 25? of the total number of faculty employed. Each full time professor shall be entitled to the salary as set up in Class I, providing he holds the Doctor's degree and his educational qualifications and experience entitle him to such salary classification. 1. 2. The title of assistant professor shall be used to designate those faculty members whose minimum educational qualifications and experience are such as to entitle them to Class II of the classification schedule. A classification known as instructor shall include those whose educational training and experience shall be at least the minimum required for Class III in the salary classification schedule. Such number shall not exceed 15$ of the total number of faculty. 3. Respectfully submitted Rohrbach Carmon Ross T. T. Allen Francis B. Haas C. S. Miller, Chairman' Q. A. W. Doctor Miller added that the report was not presented for adoption, but merely for the consideration of the Presidents. -1139- F. Report of Fee Committee 1. Memorandum of Agreement for students unable to pay fees in advance 2. Fees for extension or part-time courses for Out-of-state students 5. The increased cost of conducting the dining room for the next biennium 4. Fee to cover breakage No report submitted on these items. G. Evaluation of credits from State Teachers Colleges for pre-professional purposes other than teaching Discussion postponed. H. Report of Committee on Entrance Requirements 1. Program of the National Committee for Mental Hygiene 2. Prerequisites in the fields of Music and Art No report submitted on these items. I. A possible plan for the exchange of instructors by the St ate Teachers Colleges for the summer session Discussion postponed. J. The development of helpful information concerning the fiscal affairs in the State Teachers Colleges Discussion postponed. -1140- III. New Business A. Current policies relating to publications by State Teachers Colleges financed out of budget funds Discussion postponed. B. A State building program for State Teachers Colleges Discussion postponed. C. E xchange teachers in student teaching field Doctor Tanger stated that he had brought up the subject of exchange teachers in the student teaching field. He stated that he had an opportunity to exchange one of his instructors for a teacher from Scotland who had had no experience in the public schools. It was pointed out that since this requirement was a part of the Salary Schedule approved by the Executive Board, the exchange could not be made, unless the requirements of the Salary Schedule were changed by the Executive Board. While interest and sympathy were expressed for the idea, it was felt that, perhaps, the experiments should be tried in institutions other than the State Teachers Colleges until some future time when the program could be considered again. D. Delegate to Meeting of American Association of Teachers Colleges On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Rowland it was unanimously voted that Doctor Allen be appointed as delegate to attend the meeting of the American Association of Teachers Colleges in New Orleans, Louisiana. E. Statistical Charts: 1. Comparative Enrollments by Curriculums of Students in State Teachers Colleges in Pennsylvania as of October 15, each year A copy of this chart follows page 1143 as Exhibit -1141- "A". 2. Placement of Graduates of Teacher Education Institutions A copy of this series of charts follows page 1143 as Exhibit "B". IV. Miscellaneous A. Resolution re "illness of Doctor Klonower" On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Tanger it was unanimously voted that the Board extend sympathy to Loctor Klonower with wishes for his rapid recovery. B. Budgets 1937-59 - Doctor Marion K. McKay, Financial Consultant of the Department of Public Instruction, appeared before the Board to advise the Presidents that the budgets now stand as they were submitted and that the budgets, when passed through the Department, provided for the restoration of salaries to the instructors in the State Teachers Colleges. c * Calendar - 1957-38 Doctor Ross raised a question as to whether it would be possible to open the college on the 14th of September rather than September 7, 1957. He added that his reason for wishing to do this was due to the late opening of the Erie Schools. Doctor Haas, Chairman of the committee re ''Calendar", stated that the uniform calendar had been adopted for the year 1937-38. He pointed out that one reason for the uniform calendar was to make sure that each institution closed before May 31, the end of the fiscal year. It was decided that this problem should be referred to the Calendar Committee for next year. Doctor Haas called attention to an error in the Calendar for 1937-38. The date for the beginning of the Christmas Recess should be Wednesday, December 22, 1937, rather than Wednesday, December 21, 1937. -1142- The Board adjourned at 3:50 o'clock.

It was decided that the statement, "The demonstration of competency to pursue a major in any area will be required" should appear as a part of each area of concentration. It was brought out that this statement did not necessarily mean that the student must demonstrate competency before electing a major but that the student must demonstrate competency in the major area of concentration before being allowed to compbte the field. On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Haas it was voted that the following report of the Curricular Revision Committee be adopted: "AREAS OP CONCENTRATION IN THE SECOND lRY FIELD Each prospective teacher enrolled in the secondary curriculum is required to complete one field of at least twenty-four semester hours and at least one field of not fewer than eighteen semester hours. As early as possible in the student's enrollment he must demonstrate competence in the fields chosen before permission is granted to complete requirements for certification." On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Allen it was voted that the revised curriculum go into effect September 1, 1937 and that all students already enrolled be adjusted to the new curriculum as far and as rapidly as possible. Doctor Haas stated that it is highly desirable that the Deans of Instruction in the contemplated meeting discuss the problem of the adjustment of students to the now curriculum. The Board adjourned for luncheon at 12:15 and reconvened at 1:30 o'clock. -1158- a . . B s Report of commit too ro 'recogn ition by tho Middle 3 1 tos Association" ' Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the committee, reported that there had been but one meeting of the committee since last May. The standards and principles for the accreditment of State Teachers Colleges have been set up by the Middle States and Maryland Association. A request had been made to present suggestions as to the method by which these principles and standards shall be applied to institutions applying for accreditment. Doctor Haas asked if any State Teacher College in the States had been accredited by the Middle States and Maryland United Association. Doctor Rowland replied that to his knowledge the Association any State Teachers College. accredited not had On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Steele that the report of the committee be accepted. voted it was C R eport of committee r e "service^ are as o_f_ the State Teachers Collages " Doctor Armstrong, Chairman of the committee, reported progress. D R eport of committee o n Solici tat ion of Students ; On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Mr. Swopo it was unanimously voted that the item be r -moved from the docket. E Report of Budget Committ ee 1937-38 - 1 » Alloca tions for 1957-38 On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Rowland it was voted that Mr, McClure be asked to appear before the Board at a later date to discuss his statement on principles for the allocation of funds. Doctor Miller, Chairman of tho Budget Committee, stated that the committee is not entirely satisfied with Mr. McClure' Formula. He stated that a basic organization for all institutions should be set up and the ratio of teachers to pupils established. Doctor Killer .requested permission to send letters to the members of the Board asking for a report from each institution within the next two weeks. The committee will then report at the next meeting of the Board. -1159- 2. Adjustment of cooperative teacher reimbursement for the biennium 1957-39 Doctor Miller presented the following report of the Budget Committee: "REPORT OP THE BUDGET COMMITTEE Re: The Paying of Cooperative Teachers March 19, 1937 The budget committee recommends the adoption of the following plan for the paying of Cooperative Teachers: 1. In order to provide for the educational needs of a State Teachers College it is desirable that each institution should support and control on the campus a laboratory- demonstration school the teachers of which shall be paid on the present State salary schedule. 2. In order to provide for student teaching needs in addition to those available on the campus, in agreement with other school districts, each institution may employ teachers known as 'cooperative teachers' who shall be paid according to the following schedule, effective September 1, 1937. This shall not be retroactive as lowering the salary of any present employe. a. A unit of service is the amount of service required from a cooperative teacher in order that a student may meet the student teaching requirements of a four-year curriculum. b. Cooperative teachers shall be paid an initial salary of $50 per unit of service. Those holding a Bachelor's degree shall be entitled to an increment of five dollars ($5.00) per year per unit of service until a maximum of seventy-five dollars Those holding a Master's ($75.00) is reached. degree shall be entitled to an increment of ten dollars ($10.00) per year per unit of service until a maximum of one hundred dollars ($100.00) per unit is reached. c. With the approval of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction the salaries of present demonstration or cooperative teachers now employed may be adjusted on the basis of past experience and salary." -1160- Doctor Hill raised a question concerning paragraph c. He asked what would happen to a teacher who was^paid $250.00. It was brought out that this person's salary could remain the same or she might even be increased if she had three or four students and the master's degree. Doctor Fausold asked if the latter part of paragraph two meant that those teachers paid a flat amount by the school district and by the college will be retained at the same salary. Doctor Miller stated that this is the case. He added that the committee felt that it would be wiser not to upset the practice teaching situation in the State by any great change in the salaries received by cooperative teachers already employed. Doctor Steele stated that he is heartily in favor of the new plan for reimbursement. He stated, however, that it will at least double the cost of cooperative teaching. Doctor Steele added that a large number of his cooperative teachers are now receiving $90. If they are adjusted to the new plan, they will receive $200. Some of those receiving $90 a year will be entitled to $400 and savings v/ill be effected only in the case of four or five teachers. Doctor Allen stated that the point is that some institutions have cooperative teachers that are getting $600, $800, $1,000 or even .^1,200 and have cooperative teachers who came in at $90. The purpose is to wipe out these inequalities, at least in part. Doctor Ross stated that the Budget Committee in preparing its report has decided not to pass onthe campus school teacher. Doctor Ade pointed out that the report refers only to off-campus teachers. Doctor Steele suggested the addition of this sentence to the report: Teachers in the campus demonstration school shall not be considered cooperative teachers. Doctor Ade suggested that Doctor Klonower make a report as to how this new plan of reimbursement will affect all schools next year. On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Rowland it was unanimously voted that the report of the Budget Committee be adopted as amended. -1161- 3• Ranking of fa culty members Doctor Miller presented the following report for the Budget Committee: "REPORT OF THE BUDGET COMMITTEE Re: The ranking of faculty members March 19, 1937 The Budget Committee has considered carefully the question of ranking of faculty members. It seems desirable at this time to make known the salary situations and therefore the suggestions given will serve to prevent too large a number of instructors from reaching the maximum salary and at the same time, will offer the opportunity for professional advancement within the institution. The Committee, therefore, presents the following suggestions for your further consideration, with the idea that they will be studied carefully by each President and acted upon at the next meeting of the Board: 1. Each institution shall be entitled to a minimum of eight full professorships. The number with rank of professor on a State Teachers College faculty shall not exceed 25$ of the total number of full time faculty employed on the campus. Each full time professor shall be entitled to the salary as set up in Class I, providing he holds the educational qualifications and experience which entitle him to such salary classification. 2. The title of assistant professor shall be used to designate those faculty members whose minimum educational qualifications and experience are such as to entitle them to Class II of the classification schedule, 3. A classification known as instructor shall include those whose educational training and experience shall be at least the minimum required for Class III in the salary classification schedule. Such number shall not exceed 15% of the total number of faculty." Doctor Miller requested that each member of the Board study the report and submit a tabulation not later than April 15 of the application of this plan to the faculty of each institution. F. Report of Fee Committee 1. Memorandum of Agreement for students unable to pay fees in advance -1162- . . 2» Fees for extension or part-ti me courses for out-of-State st ud ents 3. The increased cost o f conducti ng the dining room for the next biennium 4. Fee to cover br eakage Doctor Haas, Chairman of the Fee Committee, presented the following report for the Committee: "STATE TEACHER'S COLLEGE Pennsylvania Bloomsburg March 16, 1937 To Members of the Board of Presidents: Below please find a preliminary report of the Fee Committee relative to the four items listed under F on Page 114-0 of the "Journal" for Friday, January 15, 1937. Under date of arch 1, 1937 as Chairman of the Committee, I asked the members of the Board for comments and suggestions concerning these items. Following each numbered item is a sur;imary of the comments, together with additional general comments. ,T ! 1 . MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT FOR STUDENTS UNABLE TO PAY FEES IN ADVANCE Seven Presidents commented as follows: Five indicated no need for change; Two suggested some simple legal fqrm of promissory note to be signed by responsible persons. Attention is called to the following statement of "Uniform Fees, Deposits and Repayments in the State Teachors College - effective June 1, 1933" to the effect that "The President of the institution may, at his discretion, authorize payments not less than one month The implication of this is clear in advance to worthy studjnts." to the effect that a student to remain in good standing must pay the fees due in advance. 2. FEES FOR EXTENSION OR PART-TIME COURSES FOR OUT-OF-STATE STUDENTS. Nine Presidents commented as follows: Five suggest increase on basis of pro-rata of additional amount now charged for out-ofState students; Four because of absence of problem, no suggestions. One suggestion was to the effect that $7.00 per semester hour be charged for less than 15 semester hours. 3. INCREASED COST FOR CONDUCTING THE DINING ROOM FOR THE NEXT BIENNIUM. Seven Presidents commented as follows: Three are opposed to any increase; Four approve an increase because of increased living costs. -1163- It would appear that the question is not merely one of raising the fee but also of the effect of raising this fee on the total enrollment 4. FEE TO COVER BREAKAGE. Wine Presidents commented as follows: Six approve a breakage fee; Three oppose or question its value. It should be noted that it was customary to charge a breakage fee as well as laboratory fees for various courses previous to the charging of the contingent fee and previous to the requirement that fees collected must be turned into the general fund of the Treasury. If a general breakage fee is charged everyone and not If refunded, it means merely an addition to the contigent fee. tremendous it means a refund system set up, and a is charged it increase in bookkeeping and it means that all these fees must be withdrawn through the Revenue DepartiiBnt and the Treasury at the In end of the year unless the present law can be modified. addition to the above, the educational soundness of a general breakage fee is questioned. SUMMARY - No comments or suggestions have been received from five members of the Board. On the basis of the returns received, the Committee does not feel justified in making any suggestions. It has no brief or any particular point of view and is ready to write into proper form any policies approved by the Board." Doctor Haas asked that the report be accepted and that the Presidents submit to him their reaction on each item. On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Ross it was voted that the report be accepted for study and that each member of the Board submit his reacton to the report to Doctor Haas. Doctor Ade requested that each member of the Board cooperate with the chairmen of committees when requests are made for information on committee" reports. Doctor Ade raised a question concerning item one of the report of the Fee Committee. Doctor Haas stated that that item would not be a problem since the Uniform Fees, Deposits and Repayments report which had been adopted some time ago prohibited the admission of students unless fees were paid in advance. G. E valuation of credits fro m Stat e Teachers Colleges for pr e-pr ofessional purposes other than teaching Doctor Klonower asked whether this should not be carried on the docket until after the results of the present legislation are determined with reference to the broadening of the fields of service for the State Teachers Colleges. -1164- c. Doctor Rohrbach stated that this remains a question irrespective of legislation. It indicates that persons who complete courses in the*State Teaclurs Colleges are still questioned in comparison with the material offered in other institutions. It was agreed that this item should be continued on the docket and that Doc too? Newphor should bo asked to appear before the Board to clarify the matter. In this connection, copies of the Roberts Bill No. 191 wero distributed to the members of the Board. H. Report of Comm i ttee on Entrance Requirements 1. Progra m of t he Nationa l Committee for Mental Hygiene 2 Prerequisite s in th e fields of music a nd art On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Haas it was voted that these items be removed from the docket. Doctor Rowland stated that a study completed at his institution showed that fifty per cent of students had not had previous courses in music and art. Doctor Klonowor suggested that the Board consider the adoption of a resolution whereby after 1933 no students would be admitted who had not had training in these fields. Doctor Steele stated that he felt that it would be wiser to require that the students demonstrate competency in these fields rather than require the completion of courses. Doctor Fausold stated that legislation is now in process which would enable the Superintendent of Public Instruction to withhold appropriation fro. a those districts which did not provide in the curriculum the subjects now required by law. On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Rowland item two be restored to the docket. it was voted that III. New Business A. Policies re pub licati ons b y State T ea hers C ollege s financed out of budget funds Doctor Rohrbach stated that he had requested that this item be put on the docket in order to secure information from the -1165- . Presidents. He asked if each institution spends what it can for publications. It was brought out that this question had been considered by the Board some years ago. Doctor Steele stated that some institutions live up to the maximum of the number of pages, cuts, et cetera, allowed under this policy while other institutions do not have the funds to do this. Doctor Rohrbach stated that he understood that it is now the policy of the Department to' allow each President to publish what he wished. On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Rohrbach it was vot ed that the Superintendent of Public Instruction be authorized to appoint a committee to review the entire matter of publications B« A long-term building program for State T eache rs Colleges Doctor Steele stated that he had requested that this item be placed on the docket. He added that the whole building set-up has been left to the individual institution. He felt that it would help if a competent committee were appointed to investigate our building needs and, on the basis of that survey, this whole program would likely be much more effectively advanced. On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Mr. Swope it was voted that this item be removed from the docket for the present. C . Interpretation of the Salary Schedule Doctor Klon-.-wer read a portion of a memorandum from Doctor Ade to Presidents of State Teachers Colleges and Heads of Other State-Owned Educational Institutions under date of hlarch 15, 1937 as follows: "No appointment will be approved at a salary higher than the minimum salary rate of the class." Doctor Klonower pointed out that although this memorandum referred specifically to non-instructional positions, it also applied to instructional staff members. Doctor Ade emphasized the fact that all appointments must be made in terms of the Salary Schedule and no irregular salaries will be approved. He asked that each President be extremely careful in quoting salaries to prospective instructors and to be sure that they are following the provisions of the Salary Schedule. All appointments must be pre-approved. -1166- . Doctor Ade suggested that Doctor Klonower draw up a memorandum to the Pr3sidents with reference specifically to the appointment of members of the instructional staff. D. Printing of Entrance Forms for the State Teachers Colleges Doctor Steele stated that in the past California had printed forms for practically every institution. Due to the difficulty of securing the stock for this printing, he stated that California would be unable to render this service. Following the discussion it is understood that requisitions for all printing will follow the normal course through the Department of Public Instruction. E X-ray examina t ions and health talks - Department of Health Doctor Klonower read the following letter which was received from Doctor Edith MacBride-Dexter, Secretary of Health, under date of February 25, 1937: "Not only are we sympathetic with the program of tuberculosis discussion suggested in your letter of January 26 but shall be veryglad to designate the proper number of our staff to make appropriate talks colleges at to the students of the various teachers the time these are visited for the purpose of case finding. Your communication also brings to mind a feeling which we over here in the Health Department have had for a long tine that it might be profitable to prospective teachers and perhaps contribute to a somewhat more successful control of communicable diseases in schools if, some time during the Senior year, some of us might have a chance to appear before the graduating class for the purpose of discussing briefly communicable disease's, what offers in the way of their prevention or limitation and, more particularly, the responsibility of the teacher in this connection and the ways in which he or she may be of real service. It is possible that this ground is already being covered by some member of the several College Faculties, We take this opportunity of mentioning it, however, to pave the way for such a program if it has not already been put into effect by the schools themselves." :, Doctor Klonower added that the Department of Health has two mobile units which could go to the State Teachers Colleges to take the X-ray pictures, but, in addition, this work should be -1167- . . accompanied by talks on tuberculosis prevention. He suggested that one or two institutions could serve in an experimental manmer. After the difficulties of the project were worked out, the matter could then be presented to the entire Board for further consideration. Doctor Steele, Doctor Ross and Doctor Miller volunteered institutions serve in this experimental capacity. have their to F. Con tinua nee of servi ce of instr uctional staff f or the ensuin g college year Doctor Klonower stated that several members of the Board had raised a question ith reference to the matter of the re-election of members of the instructional staff. _r From the discussion around the Board, it appeared that about half of the institutions re-elect members of the instructional staff each year, while the other institutions do not re-elect staff members each year. It also appeared that there was considerable difference of opinion as to the status of instructors in the State Teachers Colleges. Some members of the Board were of the opinion that instructors are State employes and, as such, continue in employment without re-election until dropped for some specific reason. Other Presidents were of the opinion that the instructors have the same status as that of teachers in the public schools. ' It was decided that the Department of Public Instruction should advise the members of the Board with reference to the status of the instructional staff. IV. Miscellaneous A. Meeting of the Deans of Instruction Doctor Klonower stated that a meeting of the Deans of Instruction is being tentatively arranged for April 7, 1937. B. Delegate to the Inauguration of Doctor Fausold Doctor Klonower stated that the inauguration of Doctor Fausold as President of the State Teachers College at Indiana is being arranged. The date has been tentatively set as May 6, 1937. On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Rowland was voted that the Superintendent be authorized to designate a representative of the Board to speak at the inauguration exercises of Doctor Fausold. it C Change in Date of Board Meeting . -1168- . . Doctor Rowland raised a question concerning the next meeting of the Board which would regularly be held on May 21, 1937. Since this is the day before the beginning of commencement activities in the State Teachers Colleges, it was suggested that the meeting be held on May 14, 1937. On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Haas it was vot ed that the next meeting of the Board of Presidents be held on May 14, 1937. D Report of Delegate to Meeting of American Association of Teachers Colleges Doctor Allen who represented the Board of Presidents at the meeting of the American Association of Teachers Colleges in New Orleans had no formal report to submit to the Board. Doctor Klonower agreed to prepare and distribute copies of Doctor Sprague's report to the American Association of Teachers Colleges together with copies of the criticism of this report. E.

Report of the Curricular Revision Committee 1. Quality Point System and Test Periods Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision Committee, reported for the Committee and stated that Doctor Ross had been appointed to make a study of the marking systems in the State Teachers Colleges. Doctor Ross reported progress. 2. Revision of Curriculums Doctor Steele reported that the revision of the curriculums has been completed with the exception of the home economics curriculum. As soon as the Home Economics Association of Pennsylvania has made its report to the Committee, the curriculum will be submitted to the Board. This curriculum must be studied in the light of the Federal Vocational Act. Doctor Steele stated that the secondary curriculum has been subjected to considerable study and there appear to be certain discrepancies; one, for instance, in the field of science in which the general science major as outlined does not agree with the certification requirements. Doctor Steele added that the Presidents will be asked to consult with their Deans of Instruction so that errors may be corrected and readjustments made at the next meeting of the Board. Doctor Noonan asked when the revision of the curriculum will be completed. Doctor Klonower assured Doctor Fausold and Doctor Noonan that they will be informed concerning the revised home economics curriculum before the end of June. Doctor Ross raised a question concerning the general science field. He stated that the requirements in general science are very inadequate and asked whether it would be possible to raise the number of hours in this concentration field from twenty-four semester hours to thirty semester hours. Doctor Steele asked whether the Committee might not have a definite written statement of the point of view from each institution. -1171- . . On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Ross each institution present a written statement to the Chairman of the Curricular Revision Committee containing constructive suggestions with reference to a further modification of the curriculum for the preparation of science teachers. it was vo t ed that Doctor Steele stated that he would write a letter to each member of the Board asking definite questions and indicating a definite date for reply. B Report of committee re "recognition by the Middle States Association" Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the committee, reported for the committee. He reported progress and added that the committee had sent to the Committee of the Middle States Association all the suggestions with reference to the format to be used by the Association as a means of determining the competence of a teachers college to be placed on the accredited list.

Adjustment of cooperative teacher reimbursement for the biennium, 1937-39 Doctor Haas reported for the Budget Committee and submitted the following report: -1172- "In order that further study and analysis of the proposed cooperative teacher salary schedule may be made, it is recommended that the action of the Board of Presidents of March 19, 1937 be rescinded and that the matter be referred to the Budget Committee for further study, a report to be made at the November meeting in the light of the actual enrollment and financial situation at that time." On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Mr. Swope it was voted that the report of the Committee be adopted. Doctor Rowland suggested that it might be possible for an institution to experiment with the plan. It was agreed that, if the salaries of cooperative teachers could be kept under the present Salary Schedule, this could be done. 3. Ranking of faculty members Doctor Miller submitted the following report for the Budget Committee: "REPORT OF BUDGET COMMITTEE RANK OF FACULTY MEMBERS In order to evaluate the qualifications of the instructional staffs of the State Teachers Colleges in Pennsylvania in terms of the requirements of recognized accrediting agencies, the Budget Committee recommends the adoption of the following plan for ranking: 1. Each institution shall have a minimum of eight professors. 2. To be eligible for the rank of professor, a faculty member must hold an earned doctor's degree granted by a graduate school recognized by the American Association of Graduate Schools and shall have had a minimum of nine years of experience, half of which must have been in the public schools. A major portion of the graduate work shall have been done in the field or department in which the professor is teaching. 3. In order to be eligible for the rank of assistant professor, a faculty member must hold a minimum of a Master's degree granted by a graduate school recognized by the American -1173- Association of Graduate Schools, and shall have had five years of experience, half of which has been in the public schools. A major portion of the graduate work shall have been done in the field or department in which the assistant professor is teaching, 4. To be eligible for the rank of instructor, a facultymember must hold a minimum of a Bachelor's degree and shall have had three years of experience, half of which The number of instructors is is in the public schools. not to exceed 15% of the total number of faculty employed. Respectfully submitted, T. T. Allen Carmon Ross Francis B. Haas Q. A. W. Rohrbach C. S. Miller, Chairman" May 14, 1937 Doctor Miller stated that the report does not take into consideration in any way the matter of salaries. Doctor Rowland stated that he has no objection to the report but that he believed that practically all institutions have a limit upon the number of persons who may hold professorial rank and that it would be unwise for our institutions to set up any situation that would make possible a large proportion of the faculty qualifying for the professorial rank and achieving that rank. It was moved by Doctor Rowland and seconded by Doctor Miller that the report be amended as follows: "In order to control the possible development of a disproportionately large number of faculty members qualifying for the professorial rank, that, such to the minimum of eight full professorships as stated above, not more than thirty percent of the faculty may, at one time, hold this rank." The motion did not carry. it On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Rowland was voted that the report be adopted. Doctor Fausold, Doctor Hill, and Mr. Swope voted "no" on the motion. -1174- \f* . Doctor Ade discussed the matter of appropriations and thanked the members of the Board for the effort made in contacting members of the Legislature. He stated that the He suggested situation looked very hopeful at this time, that the members of the Board secure the support of persons in the service areas who are interested in the State Teachers Colleges but not directly associated with the institution. He felt that the aid of such persons would be very effective. Doctor Ade then discussed certain administrative bills on education. He urged the Presidents to do everything possible to stimulate and support the consolidation movement which will follow as a result of the passage of the Ruth-Brownf ield Bill which has just been signed by the Governor. E. Report of Fee Cornmittse 1. Memorandum of Agreement for Students unable to pay fees in advance Doctor Haas, Chairman, reported for the Fee Committee, He stated that no further recommendations on this item had been received by the Committee.

The increased cost of conducting the dining room for the next biennium Doctor Haas stated that only three members of the Board over a two months period had raised a question concerning this item. On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Miller was unanimously voted that the item be removed from the docket it -1175- 4. Fee to cover breakage Doctor Haas reported that only four members of the Board made a favorable recommendation toward the separate breakage fee. Doctor Rowland stated that he was one of the Presidents who wrote to Doctor Haas. He added that almost all colleges and universities make some provision for this item, and that most colleges require a bond. Doctor Haas mentioned the administrative difficulties in connection with the collection of a deposit for breakage and the refund of such deposits. Doctor Miller requested that the Fee Committee make a study of the breakage fee problem. Doctor Steele stated that he is heartily in favor of such a fee if some form of administration can be worked out whereby the fees could be used as a revolving fund. On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Miller it was voted that the Fee Committee be instructed to see it is possible to set up satisfactorily a revolving fund whether within each institution from which costs of damages could be met. Doctor Haas stated that a question had been raised with the Fee Committee concerning the advisability of establishing a late registration fee as a penalty for late registration. On motion of Doctor Koonan, seconded by Doctor Tanger was voted that the Fee Committee be instructed to consider the matter of a late registration fee and to report at the next meeting of the Board. it F.

H. Report of Committee on Publications Doctor Haas, Chairman of the Committee, stated that the assignment of the committee had been made too recently to allow time for a report. He stated that some years ago a Committee on Publications was appointed and it developed some minimum standards relative to publications. These standards covered general format, make-up, number of publications, distribution, size, et cetera. He suggested that members of the Board go back and review the present situation. I. X-Ray Examinations and Health Talks Department of Health - Doctor Klonower stated the original plans for this experiment had gone awry. He added that it had been planned to have the study body called together for an educational talk on the health problem and tuberculosis in the school. Following the talk, the X-ray examination was to be given. Doctor Rohrbach, Doctor Haas, and Doctor Fausold stated that this had been done in their institutions. It was agreed that what has been done in this program seems to be a step in the rip-ht direction. Doctor Klonower stated that the Department of Health is very cooperative concerning the program for the summer session and the authorities in charge are very anxious to make it a real educational program. -1177- . Doctor Miller suggested that the Department of Public Instruction arrange a schedule with the Department of Health so that advance notice could be given to the institutions and suitable arrangements made for the examinations. III. New Business A. F ormation of an Eastern State Teachers College Basketball Conference On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Haas it was voted that the matter be referred to the Athletic Committee for further study and report B. Contracts suggested by the Pennsylvania Branch of the Department of Secondary School Principals of the National Education Association Doctor Klonower stated that this matter concerned the furnishing of lists of high school graduates by the Department of Secondary School Principals. Doctor Klonower added that the matter is purely a voluntary affair for each institution to handle as it sees fit. On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Rowland it was voted that the item be laid on the table due to the late hour. C. Distribution of certificates of teachers in the elementary schools of Pennsylvania - 1956-37 Doctor Klonower distributed to the members of the Board photostatic copies of a chart showing the distribution of certificates of teachers in the elementary schools for the year 1936-37. He stated that the significant fact is the 6,235 college graduates in the elementary field compared with the 5,000 of last year. The chart indicates the status of elementary teachers in each of the counties and provides material from which the Deans of Instruction may secure an accurate picture of the type of in-service teacher education program which would be necessary to advance the professional status of teachers within the service area of each institution. -1178- r D. College certificates of elementary teach e s in Pennsylvania - Service areas of the State Teachers Colleges Doctor Klonower distributed photostatic copies of this chart and indicated the need for in-service education of teachers in various sections of the service areas. The chart presents a definite challenge to all the institutions. It was pointed out that it might be unreasonable to expect each institution to draw all of the teachers who lack college preparation back in the institutions, but the chart at least indicates that there is plenty of hard work ahead in every service area. Slippery Rock seems to have the largest percentage of college graduates in the elementary field within its area. There are 6,156 elementary teachers in this service area and of this number 25.8 per cent are college graduates. The situation at Clarion is a little more difficult; here are found 2,284 elementary teachers of whom 9.9 per cent are college graduates. On motion of Doctor Fausold, seconded by Doctor Miller and Doctor Allen it was voted that the State Council of Education be requested to adopt the following recommendation: That, beginning January 1, 1938, all incoming students preparing to teach in the elementary field must complete a four-year curriculum and that, after September 1, 1941, not any one may be certificated to teach in the elementary field without having completed an approved four-year curriculum for the education of teachers, or its equivalent. E. Activity Fee - Day Students On motion of Doctor Noonan, seconded by Doctor Allen removed from the docket. it was voted that the item be F. Fees for Summer, Post-Summer and Extension Courses Mr. Swope stated that this matter involved a question concerning the fee to be paid in the summer session by a student who transferred from another institution, completed certain courses in the summer session, and then in the fall registered -1179- He stated that the in one of the special curriculums. auditors raised a question as to why the student had not been charged the fee for a special curriculum, although at that time it was not known that the student would transfer to a special curriculum. On motion of Mr. Swope, seconded by Doctor Noonan it was voted that the item be referred to the Fee Committee for study. G. Vacancies on several committees of the Board On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Fausold Superintendent be requested to fill vacancies existing on the several standing committees of the Board. it was voted that the H.

Instructional and Non-Instructional Staffs in the State Teachers Colleges First and Second Semester , Doctor Klonower clarified the title of the charts and brought out the fact that the non-instructional members of the staff do not include lay employes, but merely such persons as are not on the instructional payroll but who are associated with instructional service.
