continue to fit themselves for situations which will undoubtedly
approach those for which they are being educated.

thought the Literary Institute's location would be ideal for a State
Normal School. So at a meeting in 1868, at which he addressed the
citizens of Bloomsburg, it was decided to establish a Normal School
under the Act of 1857. A dormitory was completed at a cost of
$36,000. The school was recognized as a State Normal School on Friday, February 19, 1869. In September of that year, there were 150
in the Normal Department and 80 in the Model School.

The school was called the Bloomsburg Literary Institute and
Normal School until it was purchased by the State May 22,
After that it was known as the State Normal School at
Bloomsburg until the name was changed to State Teachers College
on May 13, 1927, by the State Council of Education. Up to 1920,
when the Department of Public Instruction revised the programs of
all the Normal Schools, the school offered college preparatory

courses as well as teacher training courses.
Principal Carver left in 1871.

Charles G. Barkley, Esq., a for-

mer county superintendent of schools, acted as Principal from December 20, 1871, to March 27, 1872. His successor was the Rev.
John Hewitt, rector of the Episcopal Church at Bloomsburg, who
served as Principal from March, 1872 to June, 1873. In 1873, Dr.
T. L. Griswold became Principal, serving until 1877.
Those early years were trying ones; subscritions would fall off
and trustees would often meet obligations on their own personal responsibility.
In 1875, the dormitory was completely destroyed by
fire.
In 1876, a larger and hansomer building, the original part of
the present Waller Hall was built. In spite of discouraging circumstances, the school began paying expenses during Doctor Griswold's
administration.

In the Fall of 1877, Dr. D. J. Waller, Jr., became Principal. For
thirteen years the school grew under his guidance. The Model School
and the east wing of the dormitory were built during his principalship.
When Doctor Waller resigned in 1890, to become State Superintendent of Public Instruction, the school was in a prosperous condition.

Dr. Judson P. Welsh served as Principal of the Bloomsburg State
Normal School from 1890 to 1906. During his administration an addition to the four-story dormitory and the gymnasium were built.
Science Hall was opened in the Fall of 1906 just after his resignation.
Dr. D. J. Waller, Jr., responded a second time to the summons of
the trustees, serving as Principal until 1920 when he retired from
active duties.
Doctor Waller gave the Bloomsburg State Normal
School twenty-seven years of splendid service as its Principal.

He was succeeded by Dr. Charles H. Fisher, who came to the
Normal School from the State Department of Public Instruction. He
served at Bloomsburg from 1920 to 1923. During his administration
teacher training was introduced into the Bloomsburg public schools
and extension courses were instituted. He was followed by Dr. G. C.
L. Fviemer, who came from the State Department of Public Instruction.

Before the passage Of the first Selective Service Act in 1940 it
was apparent that the upsurge of industrial activity would decrease
enrollments in technical and professional institutions. Thus a transition made over a three year period required only gradual adjustment in plant, personnel, and student-body.
War programs involving contracts with the Department of
Commerce, Navy Deartment, National Office of Education, and the
Bloomsburg Hospital, enabled the college to inaugurate eductional
service in addition to teacher preparation, as follows:

These activities enable the college to face post war problems
in education with experiences growing out of war-time experimentation.
Already the first fruits are evident in the designation in April,
1943, of Bloomsburg as the first college in Pennsylvania (and possibly in the United States) to be approved to offer a field of specialization leading to the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Education
for teachers of Aeronautics.

Three Years of Transition -1940-1943
From Peace

War

Before the passage of the

a Teachers College

first selective service act in 1940, it

was evident that the enrollment in technical and professional curriculums of colleges and universities would be affected. First, by
the call to the colors of the National Guard Units, then by the upsurge in manufacturing of heavy equipment for those European
nations later to be our Allies.

An increasing wage level and the possibility of war turned the
minds of high school graduates away from preparation for peace
time activities to that of war.
No matter how we abhorred the
prospect of conflict the obligation of the American College to meet

not plan for the future when the present task of defending our
country was becoming more pressing.

Looking beyond the campus, some college administrators saw
that a transition must be made.
If changes were made gradually
there would be need of less adjustment on the part of the faculty
and students; and alumni would have time to understand just what

was happening

at their

Alma Mater.

So, as early as 1939, some colleges began to teach First Aid
courses to larger numbers and there was some talk about teaching
undergraduates to fly. However, not until September, 1940, was
the stirring of change being felt. There were some institutions who
looked askance at others who were experimenting with new activities, partly from inertia
and mostly from
disinclination to change
the feeling that pointing the colleges toward national defense would
in itself influence young people toward war.
These institutions today, denuded of civilian students, are seeking ways to aid the war
effort but the start of three years on the part of institutions beginning the transition in 1940 is too much to overcome.

—

Confronted by all these confusing forces, the Bloomsburg State
Teachers College, on learning of the Civilian Pilot Training Program,
began in June, 1940, to explore the possibilities of reopening the
Bloomsburg Airport, then closed, after having been pioneered twelve
years before by Harry L. Magee and a number of other farseeing
citizens.

On the basis that aviation would be taught in Pennsylvania
high schools in the future, as automobile operation had been in times
past, this activity was considered an important opportunity for an
institution training teachers.

From September, 1940, until July, 1942, over 100 college undergraduate students were taught to fly at the Bloomsburg Airport. Instruction in Civil Air Regulations, Navigation, Meteorology, and related subjects were taught at the college.

State Teachers College, Bloomsburg, Pa.

Since these courses were a part of the college curriculum for
future teachers of Mathematics, Physics, and Geography, little change
was necessary in plant, equipment, or instructional personnel.

However, seeing a possible need for more classroom and activity
space, the equipping of the Centennial Gymnasium and Navy Hall
(then called the Junior High School) was continued with the idea
that expansion would be possible if facilities were available. With
that thought in mind, Spruce Street was extended and curbs were
placed on either side of the road to provide for parking of more cars.
Regular college faculty members formerly teaching Geography,
Physical Education, and Social Studies, Mathematics and Science,
learned to teach the subjjects required in ground school instruction.
Due to the early influence of the Bloomsburg Airport, there were
still experienced aviators in the community who were able to fill in
the gaps which could not be carried by college faculty.

The idea of training teachers of Aeronautics was born in 1941
and the Bloomsburg State Teachers College was designated in April,
1943. as the first college in Pennsylvania (and possibly in the United
States) to offer a specialized field for teachers in Aeronautics, leading to a Bachelor's degree.

Although the effect of the oncoming war was reflected in the
number of male students in 1941 there were still 100 men

to house men.
lessening

In July, 1942, all aviation instruction was restricted to those
in the Army and Navy. For the first time uniformed men
were housed in college dormitories along with civilian students. Then
changes began to come thick and fast. After training 40 Army and
Navy Aviation Cadets, Bloomsburg was designated as a Navy Aviation Center in Sept., 1942. On Nov. 15, 1942, the Naval Flight Instructor's School was begun to meet the demand for teachers of
Aviation in the Navy. Along with five other institutions (Chicago,
Georgia, Purdue, Texas Christian University and Arizona) Bloomsburg continued this program for one year.

who were

Building and plant changes were necessary to meet these new
requirements. Travel, being curtailed, a larger number of resident
students lived in college dormitories.
Army and l^avy Cadets and
Officers had to be housed in quarters formerly occupied by women
students. Along with all these new developments attention was ever
kept attuned to the expanding needs of a college educating young
people to be teachers in the public schools of Pennsylvania.

During the year of 1940-1941 there was provided from the
college funds over $40,000 worth of improvements, such as:
Hot
Water Tanks for all dormitories; Toilet Rooms for Men in Science
Hall, where Engineering, Science and Management Defense Training
Courses were taught in the evening; and much new equipment and
machinery to handle new courses offered for the first time. An
athletic fence and sidewalk in front of the Centennial Gymnasium
was also completed, although the building itself could not be opened
since electric current for power and light was not then available.
During the year, however, the General State Authority let contracts
for over $60,000, designed to put the Junior High School and Gym-

nasium into operation.

These contracts provided equipment for both

buildings; unification of all power and light lines so that a single
meter would give control and result in economies of operation; correction of certain construction changes; and additions to the boiler
room equipment. The blackouts which were to follow would have
required the pulling of seven switches in as many different places

year of 1940-1941, over $100,000 was added to the college plant and

equipment.

The trend of equipping to meet new needs was continued in
the college year 1941 with an expenditure of $25,000. The college
spent over $5,000 on new Fluorescent Lights, furniture, machines
and gymnasium floors, while the General State Authority continued
with its program to put the new buildings in shape to be operated,
spending over $20,000 as follows: Concrete steps and balustrade
for the Centennial Gymnasium, movable equipment for the Junior
High School and Gymnasium, and alterations and additions to better
meet the needs for which the buildings were designed.
With an expanding program in Navy Aviation, the Bloomsburg
State Teachers College filled out and returned a questionnaire to
the War Manpower Commission, outlining its available faculty and
facilities.
Feeling that the college war participation was substanMeantial, no request was made for other war programs for men.
while the Pennsylvania School Code has been amended so as to
permit the cooperation of State Teachers Colleges with national,
state, and local agencies in promoting the defense effort until 1945.
In April, 1942, certain colleges and universities were notified that
they were eligible for inspection for the Navy V-12 (Officer Candidate) Program. Two State Teachers Colleges were inspected and
Bloomsburg was chosen to accommodate a complement of 175 men.

of dormitory accommodations from 70 men and
accommodations for 350 men and 100 women necessitated an expenditure of over $30,000, including replastering and
relighting of North Hall (Men's Dormitory), conversion of Waller
Hall through new toilet facilities and faculty apartments; new slate
roof for Waller Hall along with new furniture, double deck beds
and bedding. In addition, certain major repairs and additions were
made by the installation of new coal and ash hauling equipment in
the boiler house, the exterior painting of all wood work on Science
Hall, Waller Hall (including old gymnasium), North Hall, and Carver
Hall.
Thus bringing the total improvement beyond the $50,000
mark.

All these changes have made it necessary that the Dining Room
be transformed into a cafeteria. Contracts to the amount of $17,000
have been let to renovate the kitchen and install self-service for 450
persons now being fed at the college.

While the additions to the plant, renovations, and major repairs
during the period from 1940 to 1943 have aggregated more than
$200,000, a far greater adjustment has been made by the faculty.
Facilities merely make it possible for the faculty to serve new needs.
When a musical director and language instructor becomes a mathematics teacher, a dean of men becomes an aviator, a coach learns
to teach navigation, a physical education director becomes a drill
master and a geography instructor becomes a weather man, we have
a campus revolution, while not so obvious as the building changes,
it nevertheless is truly revolutionary.
If education is an adjustment
to changing conditions, then our faculty is continuing to be educated.

Now that a teachers college has made the transition from peace
to war there remains the problem of transforming it again to an
institution to educate teachers for the new challenges which will
come with the return of peace.
faculty committee is studying
the problems of planning for post war education as it affects teachers and pupils in the public schools of Pennsylvania.

All these changes in a time of sudden shifts in manpower have
been possible only through the vision of the Board of Trustees, the
cooperation of the faculty, the confidence of the student-body, and
the interest of the public spirited citizens of Bloomsburg, along with
the continued support of the 9,000 Alumni.

number of positions at present is so limted that for the most part
it is the policy of the College to make them available only after
students have demonstrated ability to meet the standards of the
College by completing in a satisfactory manner the work of the
first year.
A few opportunities are available to Freshmen for sub-

stitute service.

All work is paid for at rates from thirty to forty cents per hour,
and the maximum number of hours which a student may be employed
upon work administered by the College is twenty-five hours per week.
This means that under the most favorable conditions the maximum
amount that may be earned is ten dollars per week, and that for the
most part this is available for upper class students only.

The New Three-Year Plan
Students wishing to complete the requirements for the degree
of Bachelor of Science in Education may now do so by attending
college three calendar years. Each year now consists of three terms
of sixteen weeks called trimesters, beginning approximately on the
first of July, November, and March.

High school graduates may enter college at the beginning of
any trimester with the standards of admission, graduation and the
award of teaching certificates remaining the same under the new
program as under the usual four year plan.
Students wishing to earn their degrees under the usual fouryear arrangenment may do so. The new program is not a replacement of the usual four-year program but is an alternate designed to
help both the student with limited time and the demand and need
for teachers in our public schools.

Advanced credit will be given for equivalent courses in approved
institutions of collegiate grade, but no student may obtain a Bachelor
of Science degree at Bloomsburg without a minimum residence of one
year in the curriculum in which student intends to graduate. Students desiring to take work at any other institution must make written application to the Dean of Instruction for approval in advance.
Otherwise credits may not be accepted. Correspondence courses are
not offered or accepted by this College.
Transfer of credits having the lowest passing grade will not be accepted.
Scheduling Student's Work.

At the beginning of every semester a schedule of classes is
to each student by the Dean of Instruction. It is the duty of
the student to enroll in each class and have the instructor of the sub-

handed

ject sign the schedule card. When the last signature is obtained the
card must be returned to the office of the Dean of Instruction. No
permanent credits will be recorded unless this signed card is on file.

Transfers and Evaluations.

A student desiring to transfer from another College must first
present a letter of honorable dismissal and a complete record of the
work taken at his former College. These records shall be sent di«
rectly from the College to the office of the Dean of Instruction.
In evaluating and crediting the work of a student transferring
from another College, credit shall be given only for work having a

grade one letter point or the equivalent above the lowest passing
grade of the institution from which the student is transferring.
All evaluations are made by the Dean of Instruction and are
subject to change according to revisions in the requirements for
graduation.

student to be eligible must have secured a passing grade in at
least twelve semester hours of work during the quarter preceding
each respective sport.

Placement Service.
The Placement Service of the College cooperates with the Placement Service of the State Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, thus offering additional facilities for the placement of our students and graduates.
The Placement Service has for its purpose first of all to assist
school officials to secure competent teachers, and second to aid
teachers to secure suitable positions in fields of service for which
their training best

fits

them.

State Teachers College, Bloomsburg, Pa.

The Placement Service is in charge of the Director, who answers
inquiries and gives personal attention to school officials seeking
competent teachers.
all

In order that the Placement Service may serve the interests of
the students to the best advantage, students are requested during the
time that they are doing their student teaching to fill out a "Registration Blank," giving personal information such as grades and subjects
which they are prepared to teach and desire to teach, their preference
as to the part of Pennsylvania in which they would like to teach, experience in teaching, and other personal data which Superintendents
of schools and school boards wish to know when seeking candidates
for positions.

The opinion of the Teacher Training Department is often sought
by school officials. The quality of the work done by students in
College courses as well as in student teaching is, therefore a most
important element entering into the recommendation of students.
In order that the Placement Service may be of maximum benefit
to graduating students, it is necessary that those securing positions
advise the Director of Teacher Training immediately. This procedure
will not only avoid the recommending of a candidate for positions
after he is already employed, but will enable the Teacher Training
Department to keep in close touch with all those individuals who have
not secured teaching positions.

Students after graduation from the College are urged to keep up
their contacts with the Placement Service and the Teacher Training
Department in order that the College may render further service not
only in helping students to secure better positions but to help them in
every possible way professionally.

The Benjamin
Franklin School on our campus houses a kindergarten, special classes
for the mentally retarded, and grades one to six inclusive. There is
a training teacher in charge of each class, consequently, close supervision is given to the student teaching.

In addition to the Benjamin Franklin Training School the elementary grades of the public schools of the town of Bloomsburg are

used for student teaching. Student teaching in the secondary field is
done in the junior-senior high schools of Bloomsburg and Berwick,
and the high school of Danville. The complete cooperation of the
school authorities of the towns of Bloomsburg, Berwick and Danville
makes it possible to have a variety of adequate facilities for the

AN ENRICHED PROGRAM OF STUDIES
Curriculum for the education of teachers should be constantly
re-examined in terms of the needs of the public schools. An effort
has been made to adjust the curriculum of the teachers colleges to
meet these needs. In accordance with this policy, the Presidents of
the State Teachers Colleges, with the approval of the Superintendent
of Public Instruction, have rearranged the courses, thereby enriching
the curriculums. The first two years of the rearranged curriculums
will give the students a more thorough academic background.

The revised curriculums in the State Teachers Colleges have as
their main objective, the reorganization of the sequential relationship of courses so that the professional work will be cumulative and
progressive. There will be distinctly professional courses in the first
year, more professional courses in the second year, and still more in
the third and fourth years.
The following curriculums were inaugurated at State Teachers
September 7, 1937:

College, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, beginning

S. in Education, with college certification in (a) Kindergarten-Primary,
(b) Intermediate, (c) Rural fields. The State Standard Limited
Certificate may be issued at the end of three years if students
make this decision at the end of their freshman year. This certification is valid for three years, during which time the twelve
semester hours of advanced credit in the elementary field must
be earned in order to renew it for three more years.
This
process is continued until the four-year requirement for the
degree of B. S. in Education has been fulfilled at which time the
College Provisional Certificate is issued.

(1)

Four-Year Elementary Curriculum leading to the B.

(2)

Six semester hours, selected from the "Electives for Special Education" earned in addition to completing the Four-Year Elementary Curriculum may be used to certify a person as a Speech
Correctionist or to teach Special Classes for the Mentally Retarded.
This means that a person will be certified to teach in
the elementary school, and at the same time certified as a Speech
Correctionist or to teach adjustment, special, opportunity, or
orthogenic classes in the elementary school.

(3) Four-Year Secondary Curriculum leading to B. S. in Education,
with college certification in two or more of the following fields:
Aviation, English, Social Studies, Geography, Mathematics,
French, Latin, Spanish, Science and Speech.
(4)

Four-Year Business Education Curriculum leading to the B. S.
in Education, with opportunity to secure college certification in
the following subjects: Bookkeeping and Accounting, Business
English, Commercial arid Economic Geography, Commercial
Law, Commercial Mathematics, Economics, Junior Business
Training, Office Practice, Salesmanship, Shorthand, and Typewriting. Retail Selling may also be chosen as a field for certification.

State Teachers College, Bloomsburg, Pa.

GUIDANCE

CHOOSING A CURRICULUM

In order that entering students may have an opportunity to explore their interests and try out their abilities and aptitudes in the
College situation a uniform curriculum for the first year is followed
by those expecting to teach academic subjects in the Secondary and
Elementary schools. Those expecting to teach commercial subjects
in the Secondary schools also follow a uniform curriculum for the
first year.

Following the first year's experience with courses in English,
Speech, Geography, Science, Health Education, History, Appreciation
of Art and Music, and Place and Purpose of Education in the Social
Order (including School Visitation), the student is in a position to
choose electives in either the Elementary or Secondary curriculums
for the second year, basing his decision on his Freshman courses.
After having completed courses in English, Speech, Health Education,
Economic Geography, Place and Purpose of Education in the Social
Order (including School Visitation) as well as courses in Bookkeeping
and Accounting, Shorthand, Typewriting and Business Mathematics,
the prospective commercial teacher is in a better position to choose
either the Commercial, Accounting, Secretarial, or Retail Selling
sequence depending upon his first year's experience.

During the Freshman year, to further inform entering students
of the nature of the teaching profession, all students take an orientation course entitled "Place and Purpose of Education in the Social
Order" (including school visitation). Classrooms of all types and
levels are visited. In class, such topics are studied as: How to Study,

How

to Budget Time, Campus Services, Administrative Organization
of the College, The Requirements and Possibilities of Teaching as a
Profession, Self -Analysis to Determine Fitness for Teaching; all of
which are consciously planned to help students to choose their curriculum at the beginning of the second year. Such guidance based on
professional information and personal analysis is carried on by means
of conferences by faculty members with individual students. Persons
entering the teaching profession of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania today must view themselves in the light of the mental, physical
and social requirements and possibilities of a career as an educator.

If the Business Education Curriculum has been followed
for one year, to continue one must choose a sequence from the
following: Commercial (which certifies all in commercial subjects),
Accounting, Secretarial, and Retail Selling.

Thus the specialized work of the last three years is based on one
year of general preparation for the purpose of acquainting students
with the nature of the teaching profession, and at the same time to
aid in the prediction of the professional promise of teaching success.
Following the first year, a change from one curriculum to another
may be requested by the student or advised by the Dean of Instruc-

DEVELOPMENT OF AERONAUTICS AT
BLOOMSBUR
In the fall of 1940 the State Teachers College at Bloomsburg,
Pennsylvania, was asked, along with approximately 600 other institutions of higher learning, to participate in the program of Civilian
Pilot Training sponsored by the Civil Aeronautics Administration.
This flight and ground school training for college men was on an
extra curriculara basis and was to form a reservoir of pilots in case
an emergency developed in the United States. This emergency became a crisis December 7, 1941, and fortunately ready to meet this
situation was a group of trained pilots, including 100 trained at
Bloomsburg. Since that time over 500 men were trained at Bloomsburg for the Army and Navy as Service Pilots, Aviation Cadets, and

Naval Flight Instructors.

The Department of Public Instruction announced in April,
1943, that the State Teachers College at Bloomsburg had been approved by the State Department of Public Instruction as the first
institution to offer courses leading to a Bachelor of Science Degree
in Education with specialization in the field of Aeronautics.
The field of aeronautics for teachers will include such courses
Theory of Flight, Navigation, Meteorology, Civil Air Regulations,
Aircraft Engine Operation, Aircraft Communication, Climatology,
History and Identification of Aircraft, Mathematics and Physics.
Flight experience evidenced by a private pilot's license will be reas

PRE-FLIGHT AERONAUTICS FOR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS
The College is planning to institute a four-year course leading
to certification of teachers in Aviation to instruct in the high schools
of Pennsylvania in the field of Pre-flight Aeronautics.
Twenty
teachers-in-service began this course during the past summer and
will continue their courses toward certification.
Growing out of an active participation in the Aviation Program
for college students and Army and Navy Flyers, which has offered
an opportunity for over 300 young men and women to become commercial pilots, teachers of pre-flight aeronautics, and combat pilots in
the Army and Navy of the United States, the State Teachers College at Bloomsburg is planning to offer a specialized field in Aviation
to pre-service secondary teachers.
The proposal to make Aviation
a field of concentration along with Mathematics, Science, English,
Geography, and Social Studies, is now being reviewed by the Board
of Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges.

As approved by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction,
the field of Aviation will include:

The Bloomsburg State Teachers College

will continue a course
in Pre-Flight Aeronautics for secondary school teachers which was
begun last year. On June 1, 1941, a letter was sent to Pennsylvania
School Officials, by the Bloomsburg State Teachers College, announcing a class for teachers of Aeronautics.
Later the Civilian Pilot

Training Program developed plans for teachers to receive instruction
along with Aviators being trained for the Army and Navy.
Bloomsburg State Teachers College organized the first class in
the United States devoted exclusively to the instruction of teachers
of Pre-Flight Aeronautics.
The enrollment was limited to twenty.
College instructors certificated by the National Government carried
the first group through to a successful conclusion. A large number of
these teachers returned to their high schools to begin teaching PreFlight Aeronautics in September, 1942.
Others are now teaching
Aviation at leading Universities and occupy positions on the staff of
the Civilian Aeronautics Administration.
During the 1944 Summer Sessions, the college will continue
classes for teachers of Pre-Flight Aeronautics on both the Primary
and Advanced levels. These courses may be used as electives for the
fields of Science, Geography, or Mathematics to meet the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Education, and the
College Provisional (or Permanent) Certificate.
Since the enrollment is limited, persons interested in Pre-Flight
Aeronautics should make immediate reservations by addressing- Dr.
Thomas P. North, Dean of Instruction, State Teachers College,
Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania.

OFFICE PRACTICE AND BUSINESS EXPERIENCE

A student completing this curriculum has had an opportunity to
spend one and one-half years in office practice courses. In these
three courses in office practice, a student acts as an actual business
worker in four different offices where he is held responsible for the
same vocational efficiency as the regularly employed office worker.
This actual experience is supplemented by class instruction covering
the following: office skill and phases of business knowledge; alphabetic, geographic, and numeric filing with actual practice; dictation
and transcription at high rates of speed; the cutting of stencils, and
the operation of the mimeograph machine; the making of stencils
with the mimeoscope; the preparation of copy and duplication on the
ditto and multigraph machines; the complete operation of the dictaphone; advanced work in business papers; the operation of the Burroughs posting machine and the Underwood bookkeeping machine;
and the operation of adding machines and calculators.

The courses in office practice are not textbook courses but represent the actual carrying out of business transactions. While there
is no substitute for business experience, we feel that such actual experience as provided in connection with the above outlined work in
office practice materially aids the teacher of commercial subjects
when he attacks classroom problems.

PRACTICE TEACHING
In order that Senior students may have an opportunity to observe and teach in actual class rooms, the Commercial Departments
of six high schools are used.
In addition to the Commercial Department of the Bloomsburg High School, the Berwick High School,
and Danville High School, three high schools, located in Williamsport,
Pa., now serve as student teaching centers for Commercial students.
Of these three high schools, two of them are junior high
schools, and the third a senior high school.
The three high schools
used in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, are: The Senior High School,
Andrew Curtin Junior High School, and Theodore Roosevelt Junior
High School. In the six high schools cooperating with the College
for student teaching purposes, there are fifteen regular teachers
whose purpose it is to help the training of students.
In addition to the fifteen cooperating teachers, a supervisor, the
Director of the College Department of Business Education, visits
these schools weekly for the purpose of supervision and conferences
with student teachers.

Apprenticeship teaching means observation of regularly employed teachers, planning the course, units of work, and lessons, and

finally the actual participation of the student as a teacher who is in
charge of a classroom. Since the amount of student teaching is more
than twice that required by the State for certification, we feel that
his apprenticeship period under the conditions which we have set up
goes a long way toward giving our graduates experience in actual
school situations before they are ready to become regular teachers
in the public school system of the State of Pennsylvania.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR GRADUATES

TEACHER PLACEMENT
The Department of Business Education acts as a clearing house
for employment purposes. Our graduates are placed without charge
through the cooperation of the Placement Service of the Department of Public Instruction and the Placement Service of our own
College.
The Department of Business Education likewise takes a
special interest in securing positions for its graduates. Teachers-inservice are enabled in many instances to secure better positions
with the help of these various agencies for placement.

PLACEMENT RECORD
The type of business education provided at Bloomsburg can be
measured in no better way than by the fact that 90% of the graduates of the Department of Business Education have found employment in either teaching or business and 80% of this group are now
teaching in over 125 towns and cities throughout Pennsylvania and
surrounding states. High Schools and Colleges located in the State
of Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Florida, and Virginia have sought
the services of teachers graduated from Bloomsburg.

The following table shows the total number of Business Education graduates

The Department of Music offers thorough courses in applied
music and theory of music under efficient instructors to beginners
and advanced students. The courses are designed to meet the needs
of those seeking a general musical education and a broad cultural
background. All teachers are urged to understand the fundamentals
of the art, at least, because music today is a recognized factor in the
development of the child.
The instruction is not standardized and formal. Rather an attempt is made to analyze the individual musical and technical problems of each student and to offer solutions based upon constructive
thinking and consideration for the individual personality.
The State Teachers College at Bloomsburg offers superior advantages for hearing music, an important phase of musical training.
In addition to the student and faculty recitals of the Department of
Music, the Entertainment Course offers several outstanding musical
events during the season; and extra concerts are occasionally presented by world famous artists.
