Page 1354 - Delete the last two paragraphs of the report on the Revision of English Requirements and substitute the following paragraphs: "The Committee admits that even twentyfour hours is not the optimum preparation for a teacher of English, but the attention of the Board of Presidents is called to the fact that it is possible for a prospective teacher of English to add a second certification field, Social Studies for example, and still complete forty-four hours of English plus the required three-hour course This should give reasonably in Speech, adequate preparation for the teaching of English. The attention of the Committee has been directed by several colleges to duplications in courses listed and to the omission of certain areas needed by teachers of English. Your Committee, therefore, plans to undertake a reexamination of the courses in English, required and elective, and solicits the assistance of the English fetaffs in the State Teachers Colleges in making this study." Page 1358 - Under M. Report of the Committee re "Testing Program", September 7 should be September 12. Page 1359 - Under E.

Content for New Syllabi 2. Revision of English Requirements Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision Committee, reported progress. 3. Home Economics Curriculum Doctor Steele reported progress. He stated that the committee felt that no action should be taken at this time with reference to the Home Economics Curriculum until the two institutions concerned had an opportunity to study the suggestions of the committee and to examine the curriculum. On motion by Doctor Ross, seconded by Doctor Rowland, it was voted that the report of the Curricular Revision Committee be accepted as presented, B, Report of the Budget Committee Doctor Miller, Chairman of the Budget Committee, stated that the committee had met with Doctor Davis and discussed the matter of restoring salaries of employes of State Teachers Colleges at the rate of $120 a year until the step on the Salary Qualification Schedule was reached to which their experience and education entitled them. Doctor Haas, a member of the Budget Committee, briefly outlined for the members of the Board the history of the Salary Qualification Schedule. He stated that about six years ago the Salary Qualification Schedule was "frozen." When that was not sufficient, the next move was to cut all employes ten per cent. The preceding Administration made one move toward removing that inequity. It provided in the Budget sufficient money to remove the ten per cent cut but it did not provide money to put the Schedule into operation so far as increments are concerned. On motion by Doctor Haas, seconded by Mr. Swope, Doctor Ross, and Doctor King, it was voted that the salary of an employee which is beloxw the minimum rate of the class, as contemplated by the State Salary Schedule, may be raised to the minimum of the class for which such employee is eligible - provided that such increase shall be at a rate not to exceed one increment per year. -1364- Doctor Allen wished to be recorded as voting "no" because of budgetary limitations at East Stroudsburg. Doctor King asked whether adjustments could not be made He if money were available in the budget of the institution. stated that he felt the whole matter was based on the distribution of funds in the individual institutions. Doctor Allen pointed out that there were a number of institutions that desired to raise the salaries of their employes to the level to which they are entitled but could not do so because their budgets did not permit it. He stated that East Stroudsburg could not go along with such a proposal because of its budgetary limitations. Charts indicating a study of the Average Salaries Paid Teachers in State Teachers Colleges on a thirty-six weeks basis were distributed to the members of the Board for consideration. A copy of this chart follows page 1365. It was pointed out that on the basis of this study the average salary of teachers in four year high schools in first class school districts appears to be more than $700 higher than the average salary of instructors in State Teachers Colleges. Doctor Steele moved, and Doctor Flowers seconded that a committee be appointed to consider the matter of professorial ranking and bring in a report at the next meeting of the Board. Doctor Miller raised the question about the plan held in abeyance by the Superintendent of Public Instruction with reference to the ranking of faculty members. Doctor Steele withdrew his motion and it was consented to by Doctor Flowers who seconded the motion. On motion by Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Flowers, it was voted that there be called to the attention of the Superintendent of Public Instruction the previous action of the Board with reference to professorial ranking in the State Teachers Colleges with the recommendation that a committee be appointed to carry out the purpose of the recommendation and to study the whole matter taking into consideration the previous recommendation of the Budget Committee which had been held in abeyance. -1365- Doctor Ackley spoke briefly to the members of the Board on the matter of allocations. He stated that he did not believe drives should be made on the emergency fund at the beginning of the biennium. He called attention to the policy of the Board with reference to the adjustment fund and the emergency fund and pointed out that if it were felt wise to change the policy, then the Board might consider the matter* Doctor King stated that he felt the raising of the salary of a competent instructor who is receiving a salary below that on the Salary Schedule to which his education and experience qualify him was just as much of an emergency as buying material needs for the institution Doctor Donald P. Davis, Director, Bureau of Administration and Finance, appeared before the Board and briefly discussed the matter of allocations. Doctor Allen stated that if the institutions could request allocations from the Aujustment Fund to take care of the much-needed salary adjustments of certain instructors, he would then like to withdraw his action with reference to the motion concerning salary adjustments and desired to vote "yes" instead of "no". It was pointed out that the Adjustment Fund", when distributed, became a part of the regular budget of the institution and was available for such expenditures as are in accord with the policy of the Board with the approval of the Superintendent, C, Report of Dr. Ross re "Marking Systems'1 Doctor Ross reported progress, D, Report of the Committee re "Limitation of Enrolments " Doctor Flowers, Chairman of the Committee re "Limitation of Enrolments", reported progress. He stated that the State Department of Public Instruction planned to make a study of enrolments in the State Teachers Colleges and that his committee would withhold any action until such a study was completed. He stated that the committee was unanimous in the point of view that no institution should be permitted to grow beyond such a point that it would influence budget matters. He pointed out that it was a matter of redistributing enrolments rather than limiting enrolments. He said that the committee believed that certain factors, such as facilities, service area, major offering •«• such as music, art, et cetera -, and placement should be considered. •1366 On motion by Doctor Tanger, seconded by Doctor Rowland, accepted. it was voted that the report be E. Reports from the Attorney General's Office 1. Possibility of Providing Liability Protectio n 2 Report on Play Production Material . It was moved by Doctor Steele, and seconded by Doctor King, that the item be removed from the Docket. On the basis of the discussion which followed, Doctor Steele withdrew his motion to withdraw the item from the Docket, On motion by Doctor Steele, seconded by doctor King, it was voted that the item be carried over on the Docket and the matter referred to the present Attorney General for interpretation. Report of the Committee on Entrance Requirements 1. Uniform College Admission Blank Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Committee on Entrance Requirements, reported that he had received criticisms and suggestions from only six of the institutions regarding the uniform college admission blank. These suggestions and criticisms, he stated, would be incorporated into the revised form and resubmitted for the information of the Board at a subsequent meeting. G* Report of the Committee re "Revision of Enrolment Report" Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Committee re "Revision of Enrolment Report", reported that at the last meeting of the Board the report presented included the provision that certain refinements should be made by the Department in preparing the form. On motion voted that the item report submitted at refinements made by reports. H. by Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Tanger, it was be removed from the Docket and that the enrolment the last meeting of the Board, including certain the Department, be used for tabulating the enrolment Report of the Committee on Publications Doctor Haas, Chairman of the Committee on Publications, reported progress. -1367- Doctor Haas called the attention of the Board to the question of developing a "money control unit" for publications. He stated that to develop such a "money control unit" it would be necessary for the committee to secure figures concerning the cost of publications for all institutions, the number of teachers by counties, and the number of high school graduates by counties. Doctor Rowland raised the question as to whether the Budget Office would regard as an adequate control the setting up of a money basis or whether they would not still wish to consider the actual printing situation in the institutions regardless of the money that might be set aside. Doctor Klonower stated that he felt the Budget Office was primarily concerned with the expenditure of State money. Doctor Steele stated that he was in favor of a money unit control and that he felt it would be more effective and more satisfactory if such could be worked out. On motion by Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Allen, it was voted that the report of progress of the Committee on Publications be accepted, I, Report of the Fees Committee Doctor Haas, Chairman of the Fees Committee, stated that he had submitted the following report to the members of the Board of Presidents under date of July 21, 1939: "STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE Bloomsburg Pennsylvania July 21, 1939 To the Members of the Board of Presidents: Below please find the report of the Fees Committee to be presented at the meeting of the Board, Tuesday, July 25, 1939, covering the items on the Docket as submitted by Doctor Klonower: 1. Question of Interpretation and Uniform Procedure re Fees for Special Curriculums. The question raised as the Committee understands it is the amount of special fee to be charged when courses to be credited in a special field are not taken as part of the regular special curriculum. It is the opinion of the Committee that If the course taken is to be credited to a special curriculum then the special fee charged should be a pro-rated amount of the total special fee for one semester. -1368- * , 2-Interpretation of Student Activities Fees The Committee understands that this question was raised by Doctor Hill in his letter of June 27, 1939, as follows: 'I wanted to inquire whether there is a rule limiting the amount one of our Colleges may collect from each student for this fee. If the amount is to vary, as it reasonably might, according to student population, some Colleges seem to be at a disadvantage. In addition to this question, Doctor Hill expressed the hope that all special fees might be abolished. To these points the Chairman replied as follows: The Student Activities Fee is administered by the local institution. There has never been, so far as I know, any regulation requiring uniformity. Personally, I would like also if all fees could be omitted. I confess that under the present conditions, however, I do not see how this could be done.' 3- Late Registration Fee A number of presidents have asked again that this item be considered. In order to bring this matter specifically before the Board, the following resolution is presented: 'Each student registering after the date officially set for registration shall pay an additional fee of ($•50 to $1) per day until the student is in regular attendance in accordance with the regulations of the Board of Presidents, provided that the total amount of the Late Registration Fee shall not exceed($5 to $10). The same regulation to apply to approved inter-semester payments. 4-Pool Fee A number of presidents have requested that the matter of a Pool Fee receive consideration. Considerable additional cost will be required for such items as personnel, electric current water, laundry, supplies, etc. In order to bring this matter specifically before the Board, the following resolution is presented: , 'Each student (who is required to use the pool as shall pay a a part of the work in Health Education) fee of ($3 to $5 per semester). Respectfully submitted -1369- Fees Committee Albert Lindsay Rowland Robert M. Steele T. T. Allen Landis Tanger Francis B. Haas, Chairman" On motion by Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Hill, it was voted that the Board adopt Recommendation 1 of the report, which reads as follows: "1-Question of Interpretation and Uniform Procedure re Fees for Special Curriculums. The question raised as the Committee understands it is the amount of special fee to be charged when courses to be credited in a special field are not taken as part of the regular special curri culurtt. It is the opinion of the Committee that if the course taken is to be credited to a special curriculum then the special fee charged should be a pro-rated amount of the total special fee for one semester." Action was not necessary on Recommendation 2 of the report of the committee. With reference to the Late Registration Fee, it was moved by Doctor Steele, and seconded by Doctor Flowers, that each student registering after the date officially set for registration shall pay an additional fee of $1.00 per day until the student is in regular attendance in accordance with the regulations of the Board of Presidents, provided that the total amount of the Late Registration Fee shall not exceed $5.00. The same regulation to apply to approved inter-semester payments. On motion by Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Hill, it was voted to amend the motion to read as follows: "RESOLVED, That each student registering after the date officially set for registration shall pay an additional fee of $1.00 per day until the student is in regular attendance in accordance with the regulation of the Board of Presidents, provided that the total amount of the Late Registration Fee shall not exceed $5,00, except when permission for late registration has been secured in advance from the President because of illness or any other unavoidable causes. The same regulations shall apply to approved inter-semester payments." On motion by Doctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Miller, was voted to further amend the motion to include the statement, "effective September 1, 1939." it On motion by Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Flowers, it was voted to adopt the amended motion. -1370- With reference to the Pool Fee, on motion by Doctor Miller, seconded by Mr. Swope, it was voted that this matter be laid on the table. J, Report of the Committee re "Service Areas" Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the Committee re "Service Areas," reported progress, K.

A copy of this form follows page 1371. On motion by Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Ross, it was voted that the Board adopt the revised form as presented by the committee. L. Report of the Committee re "Testing Program" Doctor Flowers, Chairman of the Committee re "Testing Program", submitted the following report: "Report of the Committee on Testing July 25, 1939 The Committee on Testing recommends the following testing program for 1939-1940: 1, Psychological . The Committee is in agreement with the report of the Committee on Entrance Examinations of May 18, 1939, in which it recommended the use of the Psychological test prepared by the American Council on Education. The Committee recommends that all of the colleges use the same psychological test in order that comparable studies may be made. In view of the fact that this test will be used for organization and placement, we recommend that the hand-scored edition be used so that immediate results may be secured for classification and organization. Price per copy - $.07 2. Other entrance examinations . The Committee recommends that each college be given freedom in selecting other tests designed to aid in the organization of the incoming freshman class. -1371- , Commonwealth of Pennsylvania DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION TEACHER EDUCATION AND CERTIFICATION Harrisburg INSTRUCTIONAL AND NON- INSTRUCTIONAL STAFFS IN STATE TEACHERS COLLEGES Year J -cr J 1 •H o on a Strouds. aa 3 ,£> Chester g m H. •p r-t Edinboro Cheyney di -p Ln 3 Clari E.

Time . The Committee recommends that each college may determine the time of the administration of the tests but in all cases that the testing program be completed by March 1, 1940. 5. Results of Program . That the results of the testing program be tabulated in such form that each institution may identify its scores in comparison with the other thirteen colleges but that in no case may an institution know the scores of the other colleges. This necessitates central scoring and tabulation. 6.

Employment of Administrative Officers in State Teachers Colleges on Fifty-two Weeks Basis Doctor Rowland raised the question as to whether it would not be more professional to employ administrative officers on a fifty-two weeks basis rather than on a thirty-six weeks basis inasmuch as their duties do not terminate with the end of semesters but carry through the entire year. On motion by Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Rowland, it was voted that a committee be appointed to study the problem of the classification of administrative officers. F. Uniform Placement Blank for State Teachers Colleges It was pointed out that each institution operates a Placement Service. It was asked whether, in the interest of economy the Board members felt it advisable to develop some type of uniform placement form that might be used and printed in bulk in the State Teachers Colleges, On motion by Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Steele, it was voted that a committee be appointed to consider the advisability of the development of a uniform blank on placement that would represent confidential information desirable for prospective employes. G. Rating Scale for Teachers Doctor Ackley spoke briefly on Act 274 which amends the Tenure Act. He stated that when a teacher is dismissed on the grounds of alleged incompetency, the question of competency shall be determined in terms of an evaluation of her work through a standardized rating scheme. He further stated that a teacher who first enters the teaching profession will be designated as a temporary employe and will be on probation for two years. A report on the quality of her work will be made twice a year by the district or county superintendent which report will include a rating device by the Department of Public Instruction and a committee appointed to prepare the rating card. A copy of the minutes of the meeting of the Committee on "Teacher Rating" held June 22, 1939, follows page 1378 as Exhibit "G". It was pointed out that the Graduate Schools of Education in Pennsylvania are now working on a seminar of graduate character for administrative and supervisory officials on the development of the techniques of the evaluation of instructional service. -1374- It was suggested that in September or October a one day meeting of the administrative and supervisory officials in the service areas of the State Teachers Colleges be held at which the various phases of the application of the amendments to the Tenure Act be discussed and practical demonstrations given. Copies of a rating scale for teachers as developed by the Oklahoma A. & M. College, Stillwater, Oklahoma, were distributed to the members of the Board. H.

In order that you may be more fully informed I am enclosing the by-laws and minutes which I should like to have returned when you are finished with them. The issue is, will the Board of Teachers College Presidents accept membership and the names of two individuals to be presented to the Committee as Associate Members.

Cressman, Director, Bureau of Instruction T. Ernest Newland, Chief, Special Education Cecilia U. Stuart, Chief, Elementary Education Eugene P. Bertin, Editor, Publications Doctor Ackley outlined the purpose of the meeting. He pointed out that Act 52 passed by the General Assembly 1937, commonly known as the Tenure Law, developed difficult problems both for teachers and boards of school directors. Despite many of the criticisms of the Tenure Act, there was a general belief that public school administration had been improved because of the Act. This is indicated in better administration, more discriminating selection of teachers, and a general tendency to encourage growth in service on the part of teachers. However, both teachers and school board members were agreed that some modification in the law was necessary in order to clarify procedures for relieving school districts of unsatisfactory instructional service. There was a general feeling that competency on the part of a teacher should be the basis for retention and that incompetency should be the basis for dismissal. A further development of the rating system was suggested as an amendment to Act 52. The committee was requested not to think of themselves as representing any section or organization of the State in the consideration of a constructive program but rather as representing all interests that have the welfare of the children in the public schools at heart. Doctor Henry Klonower, Director, Teacher Education and Certification, commented on the agenda and the exhibits which had been distributed to each member of the committee. The agenda follows: MEETING COMMITTEE ON "TEACHER RATING" Room 321 - Education Building Department of Public Instruction Harrisburg, Pennsylvania June 22, 1939 10:00 A.M., D.S.T. — AGENDA I. II. III.

Development of "Approved Rating System" ADJOURNMENT - 5 - Before the general discussion opened, Doctor Ackley suggested that a chairman be nominated by the group, Mr. Best moved that Doctor Aclcley continue to act as chairman. The motion was duly seconded, and carried. Doctor Ackley continued to preside, after indicating that he would have preferred to have a member of the group selected as chairman. Doctor Alexander J. Stoddard, Superintendent of Schools in Philadelphia, was introduced to the group. He expressed the judgment that the entire rating program should be approached from the standpoint of the improvement of the service of the individual. He expressed opposition to a mechanical rating teachers should be rated as human beings. He questioned the possibility of rating personality on the ground that such a quality was too intangible. He preferred to approach the matter from an entirely objective point of view. Every rating card should be simple in construction and the attempt made to develop ratings on the basis of objectivity. Personal appearance should be considered in terms of its effect and the effect was the important factor to be rated. He called the attention of the members of the conference to the difficulties of a five point scale; a rating card that would indicate satisfactory and unsatisfactory would be more desirable. — Doctor Francis B. Haas, President, State Teachers College, Bloomsburg, stated that during the present summer session approximately 350 teachers enrolled at the College were asked to give their reactions to a new rating card. Each group at the College was asked to discuss the revisions to the card and return their comments in writing. He summarized briefly the comments: 1. How is the competency of the rater to be judged? Is the rating to be based on one rating by one person or on a number of ratings by a number of different persons, and will the different persons come from a variety of educational situations? 2. What are the number and types of cards to be developed? Is the rating requirement now in operation to be continued or will an attempt be made to develop a new card which will take the place of the old one? Would it be advisable to develop several cards for different types of teacherpupil contacts? 3. Am I to be judged by what someone thinks I look like and do, or by what I do for the children and the community? 4.. We want a rating card which will not be "used by some smart aleck to make us look like fools in court". 6 Doctor Ben G. Graham, Superintendent of Schools in Pittsburgh, stated that sfter years of experience with all types of rating cards, he had reached the conclusion that the most workeble ratings were "satisfactory" and '"unsatisfactory" . He emphasized the fact that if the new rating program is to work the teachers themselves must feel a sense of responsibility in the development of the program and recognize a feeling of justice in the whole matter. There must be a confidence on the part of teachers in the persons who do the rating. The ability to rate a professional employee requires competence on the part of the person rating. He further suggested that a teacher's dismissal should not be dependent on the rating of one person. Such a decision should involve the judgment of at least three comoetent persons. The underlying philosophy of the whole rating program represents the preservation of adecuate instructional service for the boys and girls in the schools. The cuestion was raised whether the rating card should provide for a procedure through which teachers might rate themselves, followed by a conference with the superintendent under whom the teacher serves. Doctor Graham pointed out that this procedure had been tried in some school districts and it has not proven satisfactory. Poor teachers rate themselves too high and good teachers rate themselves much too low. Mr. John Larkin, a teacher in the Philadelphia schools, suggested that some consideration should be given to a plan by which other teachers would rate teachers, and that these ratings be in addition to ratings given by supervisors or administrators. Mr. Padden. a school director from Scranton, stated that the principal of the school might submit a rating that would count as 75% of the total rating, and the supervisor might submit a rating that would count 15% and the superintendent might submit a rating that would count 10$ of the total rating given to a teacher. He strongly expressed the opinion that personal appearance should be one of the qualities considered in the rating of every teacher. He submitted a tentative rating card for the future consideration of the group. Mr. Edwin Cruttenden, a teacher in the public schools of Scranton, expressed the opinion that if the objective of Act 274 was the improvement of instruction in Pennsylvania, he uestioned whether such a rating card would bring about the result. If teachers are to be dismissed for incompetency, a rating card will be submerged in the jealousies and suspicions among the teachers. However, if such a rating program will develop a card which is simple and understood by all who use it, it might serve a helpful purpose. Senator F. W. Ruth, a school director in Berks County, called the attention of the group to the fact that tenure was provided to protect good teachers but that in many instances tenure was protecting incompetent teachers. Whatever form the rating card takes, it must protect teachers from political and other interference by establishing a reasonable method by which incompetent teachers may be dismissed. He then pointed out that seniority does not necessarily bring to the boys and girls in the public schools the best teachers. Where teachers are retained purely on the basis of seniority rights, many old teachers who could take advantage of the school employees' retirement opportunities would be retained and the better 7 qualified younger teachers would be dismissed because they were the lsst This is a situation that might to be employed within a school district. enrolments and school districts found in decrease there is a where develop employed. number of teachers decrease the they would have to Miss Sara Walsh, classroom teacher in the public schools of Philadelphia, pointed out the difficulty in striving to make a rating card serve two purposes; namely, as a part of any dismissal procedure, and second, It was her opinion that every rating as a stimulation to growth in service. program should provide for a periodical review of the procedure and that great care should be taken that teachers be brought together to discuss the final decisions of the committee to be appointed to draft the rating card. She urged that personality should not be included in the rating scale because it is a subjective quality. The evaluation of good citizenship is too difficult a matter to be judged by administrators or supervisors. Such qualities as progressive teaching should be included in the rating scale. She developed the point that it would be advisable for teachers to be rated by other teachers. The judgment of teachers should be sought and their opinions of the rating scale should be solicited through a secret ballot so that every teacher might feel free to express himself on the merits of the rating program. Doctor Armand J. Gerson, Associate Superintendent of Schools in Philadelphia, asked the cuestion whether there was a legal requirement for numerical rating of teachers? If there were no legal provision for numerical ratings, he then urged the members of the committee to consider the terms "satisfactory" and "unsatisfactory" as sufficiently descriptive to meet all the requirements of the law. It was agreed that since the law does not specifically provide for numerical ratings, any rating terminology might be developed that would carry out satisfactorily the intent of the law. Doctor Ben Graham, Superintendent of Schools at Pittsburgh, pointed if out that each teacher is to be rated twice a year, it would be necessary for school administrators to increase the personnel because of the enormous increase of clerical work. This would involve additional expense to school boards. However, if the law contemplated that only probationary teachers and those teachers whose work proved to be unsatisfactory were to be rated twice a year, considerable expense would be saved. Doctor Arthur Ferguson, Superintendent of Schools at York, expressed the opinion that Doctor Graham's suggestion was a practical one and in harmony with the spirit of the law and urged that due considerations be given to this important thought. Miss Barbara McGlynn, teacher in the public schools of Wilkes-Barre, urged that every effort be made to eliminate the purpose of the rating card being used as a political club to dismiss competent teachers. 3 Mr. D. A. Best, member of the Board of School Directors at East McKeesport, again emphasized the necessity of devising a rating card that would be simple in form and readily understood by both teachers and school board members. School directors are sincerely interested in the teaching profession and the teacher and they consider it very vital that some adequate system of rating be set up that will make it possible to reduce instructional staff because of decreased oupil population, consolidation of schools, and other causes. He emphasised the fact that the rating system must make it possible to discriminate between competent teachers who should remain and less competent teachers who should be dismissed. The good of the children, the good of the competent teachers, and the consideration of the taxpayers should be kept in mind in the course of the development of the rating card. The rating card should be designed so that it will be a true measure of the good and competent teacher. He suggested that the card should include more than two ratings, "satisfactory" and "unsatisfactory". A middle point might be considered so that teachers would be encouraged to acquire the higher rating through further professional improvement. Marion R. Trabue, Dean of the School of Education at Pennsylvania State College, emphasized the importance of the rating urogram to school administrators and he called attention to the fact that occasionally superintendents have lost their positions through the rating of teachers. Repeals from ratings have been taken to court and it has been proved in a number of situations that the administrators were wrong. He told of his experience in the development of rating programs in the Army and in setting up college personnel ratings for guidance purposes. An intelligent rating program must take into consideration the objective a teacher is seeking end that the rating must be related to the accomplishment of the objective. Wherever a teacher is rated "unsatisfactory", the reasons must be indicated. All terms should be understood clearly by both teacher and administrator. The fact that recent studies seem to sustain the judgment thst no two individuals can agree as to the value of another individual makes the development of any rating program extremely complex and difficult. • Miss Gertrude Tsber, classroom teacher in the public schools of Pittsburgh, expressed the thought that teechers would agree with the program of rating providing the procedure was simple and the Dualities rated objective. It must be possible to explain to the person rated where the deficiencies rest. If the qualities rated are objective, this can be done more easily than where the qualities to be rated are subjective. Doctor Alexander J. Stoddard, Superintendent of Schools, at Philadelphia, asked the group of consider the auestion as to whether the same kind of rating card should be used in evaluating the services of teachers during the probationary period as would be used for teachers who had become permanent professional emnloyes? He also expressed the opinion that the rating card should not be looked upon as a device to assist in "getting rid" of a teacher. The kind of evidence accumulated for dismissal purposes should be in terms of more efficient or less efficient and such evidence would permit a school board to retain the more efficient teachers. The teacher's case must not be prejudiced by the fact that she failed to teach effectively in an environment which she did not thoroughly understand. 9 Mr. D. A. Best again celled the attention of the members of the conference that the rating card must serve two -mrposes: provide protection for the competent teachers, and provide a means by which school boards may diminish the size of their instructional staff by releasing less efficient teachers. There must be nothing punitive in the rating card and every effort must be made to preserve the equities of competent teachers in the interest of the boys and girls of the schools. Miss Helen Wilson pointed out that the rating program might be of more value if teachers participated in the ratings on a broader scale than they now do. The program must be constructive and provide a means by which competent teachers can develop a more effective quality of instructional service. Doctor Ben Graham pointed out that the fundamental objective in supervision is discovering end encouraging the strength of teachers. Wherever a rating card provides a meejis for the recording of such strengths, it is likely that weak characteristics will cease to exist in the development of strength, weaknesses will disappear. — Miss Barbara McGlynn oointed out that in all the discussion the implication has been that the rating program applies solely to teachers. She called the attention of the group to the fact that the law refers to temporary professional employes end professional employes. This means that certain administrative and supervisory officials are included within the rating program. The ouestion was asked as to who is to rate those who rate the teachers? At 12:25 P.M., D.S.T., the conference adjourned for lunch. It was agreed that the group reconvene at 1:45 P.M., D.S.T. The conference reconvened at 1:55 P.M. D.S.T. Doctor Henry Klonower, Director of Teacher Fducation and Certification, presided. The suggestion was made that a smell group constituting a subcommittee should try to crystallize the opinions and judgments that were expressed and that this sub-committee develop a rating card which would include the qualities to be rated, as suggested in the law. The rating card could then be printed and distributed among the school districts to determine the strength end weaknesses of the proposed card. It was moved by Doctor Francis B. Haas and seconded by Mr. G. 0. ^oore, and voted that Doctor .Ackley appoint such a sub-committee. Mr. D. A. Best suggested that the trial period for the new rating least one year or nossibly two years. At the end of thst desirable to have the rhole group re-evaluate the results card. He pointed out that this was in conformity with law. card should be at time, it would be of the use of the the spirit of the - 10 Mr. G. 0. Moore then suggested that it might be helpful if all the members of the conference would send +heir reactions in writing to the members of the sub-committee, incluaing their ideas for the development of a rating card. He hoped that consideration would be given to the suggestion that simplicity in the form of the rating card was desirable. Ba tings of "satisfactory" and "unsatisfactory" would serve their purpose. The Chairman stated that it seemed to be agreed that each member of the conference would submit suggestions that will be given consideration by the sub-committee in the tentative rating card that is to be developed. Doctor Armend J. Gerson pointed out that it might be desirable if some study were given to the weighting of the qualities to be rated. He indicated that there are times when the total rating of a teacher may be entirely satisfactory, but some important quality is lacking in the teacher. He further suggested that personal qualities should not be weighted separately, but given consideration in connection with the* other qualities. Doctor Ben Graham agreed ;rith the peneral procedure that the sub-committee should formulate a rating card and submit it to the larger group and the members of the larger <~roup would then submit a written report including further constructive suggestions. Miss Sara Walsh urged the members of the committee that if weighting of the different qualities was to plsy a part in the development of the rating card, then the greatest weighting should be given to techniques of teaching, classroom management, and the seniority of the teacher. While pupil reaction is important, it represented an intangible quality, that did not lend itself readily to measurement. President Weir C. Ketler of Grove City College stated that it was very difficult to measure the details that enter into the composite picture that is usually referred to as the personality of en individual. He pointed out the value of maintaining a folder in which the records of many judgments might be kept. He referred to such a device as the American Council on Education had developed. In such a folder, periodic reports are filed which at the end of a term would give a complete record of the experience of the teacher in the classroom and in the community. This folder might also contain letters end comments of students and parents, the eopreisment of supervisors, and possibly some record of the relative achievement of the students in the classroom. Periodic tests, objective in character, might be given to the teacher to determine academic achievement. All of these data would be objective end the personal judgment of the rater would not influence the composite picture. The rating would be based on specific facts and not on the unsupported opinion of the person who uses the rating card. Mr. G. 0. Moore referred to the statement in the law that the teacher may request her rating if it is unsatisfactory. 11 Doctor Ben Graham said that in all his experience, he has never been able to convince any boerd of the ability of a. teacher by the sole use of a rating card but thrt he had elways found it helpful to have sustaining evidence that comes from periodic observations. Mr. Leonard Duncen, a classroom teacher in Pittsburgh, expressed approval of the idee of developing cumulative records for teachers from which tendencies could be determined. With probationary teachers, such tendencies would provide en intelligent base for guidance . V'ith such accumulated reports, administrators might establish more wholesome relationships vdth the teachers who are to be rated since the teachers would have a more understanding and sympathetic attitude toward the rating program. Incompetence is difficult to prove even though it may be evident to everyone. In other words, the records should be the basis on which the final rating is made. Doctor Frederick G. Henke, Professor of Education in Allegheny College, also emphasized the value of a biographical folder which would be helpful in the development of an adequate psychology. He stated that the folder should contain much material that pertains to background, progressiveness, techniques, and all the other factors that go to make an integrated personality The teacher should be made a partner in the program so that she will not become susoicious, but rather would understand the whole procedure looks toward the development of a better educational program and better educational opportunities for boys and girls. . . Mr. Harvey E. Gayman, Executive Secretary of the Pennsylvania State Education Association, pointed out that the discussion has centered almost entirely around the professional aspects of the problem. He advised the wisdom of including technical legal advice in the deliberations of the sub-committee since the rating card would serve school boards as the legal basis on which retentions, suspensions, end dismissals would be based. Every precaution should be taken to make sure that the card will be sufficiently inclusive to protect both teachers and school boards. He suggested that it might be well for the sub-committee to have the benefit of the opinions of two lawyers. Miss Ser8 Walsh expressed opposition to the cumulative rating card and stated that it would have certain inherent dangers. It wculd not be helpful because the possibilities ere that such, records would be held over the teacher during her entire probationary period. The rating program must never become punitive. The more simple the rating card is, the less opportunity will there be for misunderstanding. Superintendent J. Andrew Morrow of Bradford County pointed out that one of the largest problems of the superintendent is the reting of teachers in service and that the problem of rating nrobationary teachers was not a particularly difficult one at the present time. He insisted that the rating card be simnle and understandable. He urged that emphasis be placed on a rating card that will stimulate growth in service and at the same time provide a legal basis for the removel of incompetent teachers. 12 Mr. Padden emphasised the point that the lew wss constructive in character and thtt it had as its primary purpose the maintenance of a worthwhile instructional service through the orotection of competent teachers, but at the same time, it provided a reasonable plan for the discontinuance of the services of teachers who are not able, because of personality and academic background, to give to the children in the community the type of instruction necessary for the proper functioning of the schools. Mr. Eest reminded members of the group that the responsibility for rating teachers was definitely placed on the shoulders cf county and district superintendents. It is their legal responsibility to cerry out this orogram as a part of their official duties. This might mean more work on the part of the administrative officers, but at least it is definite and cannot be evaded. Doctor Albert Lindsay Rowland, President, State Teachers College, Shippensburg, stated that the rating card now in use by the Department of Public Instruction was developed nineteen years ago. Efforts have been made to revise it from time to time. Some kind of rating device for all teachers roust prevail if the teaching service is to meet ell its obligations. Few revisions have been made to the rating card now in effect although superintendents and teachers have been asking freruently whether the card has served the purpose for which it had been developed. He emphasized the fact that merely placing a new rating card in the hands of school administrators would not, in itself, remedy all of the comolains that had been made concerning rating programs. Rating cards are useless if you cannot deoend on the integrity of the person doing the rating. It must be assumed that those who deal with rating programs are persons of integrity and that interest in the development of sdeouete teaching situations motivates the person who rates the teacher. It is necessary to have qualitative analyses of teachers for statistical purposes. The development of an sdecuete teacher education program is dependent on the eceumuL? tion of understandable facts. The rating card gives to those responsible for the coordination of agencies engaged in teacher education such facts. In commenting on the suggestions that all ratings should be discussed with teachers, he pointed out that even though there was a wide discrenency in the two judgments, the judgment of the official who does the rating would, probably have to prevail. He suggested that the sub-committee might accomplish considerably more in the way of a constructive program by reviewing the existing program. This would establish a starting point from which to grow. The problem would be to imorove the present rating score card to meet the newer situation. Doctor Ackley had re-joined the conference during the course of the afternoon discussion. He pointed out that the interesting discussion had carried the meeting oast the time set for adjournment. He stated that he would be pleased to appoint the committee that was to draft the rating card. He assured the members of the conference that the basic ides that should color all consideration of a rating card snould be constructive in character; namely, that a rating program can be developed in the best interests of the public schools. He thanked the members of the conference for the generous contribution of their time and effort, and expressed the appreciation of the Department for the wholesome spirit that prevailed throughout the discussion.

Ranking of Faculty Members Doctor Miller, Chairman of the Budget Committee, called the attention of the members of the Board to the report of the Budget Committee held May 14, 1937 with respect to the Ranking of Faculty Members, which was as follows: "REPORT OF BUDGET COMMITTEE At the meeting of the Board of Presidents on May 14, the following plan for ranking for faculty members was adopted for the State Teachers Colleges of Pennsylvania: 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 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 Association of Graduate Schools, and shall have had five years of experience, half of which -1380- 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 faculty member 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. total number of faculty employed. of the not to exceed 15% C. S. Miller, Chairman Budget Committee" This report has been approved by the Board of Presidents but was held in abeyance by the Superintendent of Public Instruction. Doctor Rowland stated that while he was very much in favor of establishing some form of ranking and while he believed this set up a very high standard which should be aimed for, he thought there m re certain requirements in the proposal which would make it impossible for many of the schools to maintain. He stated that he thought provision should be made for allowing the equivalent of the doctor's degree which is permitted by the American Association of Teachers Colleges. The Chairman stated that he felt the proper action at this time would be to recommend to the Superintendent definite action. He pointed out that at the present time if the Superintendent approves the action, the resolution goes into effect because the Board had already approved it. On motion by Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Flowers, it was voted that the matter be referred back to the Budget Committee for further study and presented at a subsequent meeting of the Board. C. Report of Dr. Ross re "Marking Systems" Doctor Ross reported progress. He stated that he had his material assembled but not in form for presentation to the Board. D. Report of the Committee re "Limitation of Enrolments" Doctor Flowers, Chairman of the Committee re "Limitation of Enrolments", reported progress. E. Reports from the Attorney General's Office It 2. Possibility of Providing Liability Protection Report on Play Production Material -1381- The Chairman reported definite progress on both items. He gave Doctor Rohrbach a letter of advice which had been received from the Attorney General's Office with reference to the item on Play Production Material and asked him to formulate the decision. F. Report of the Committee on Entrance Requirements 1. Uniform College Admission Blank Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Committee on Entrance Requirements, reported progress. G* Report of the Committee on Publications The concerning the that he had an He stated that H. Chairman reported that he had talked with Doctor Logan question of setting up a unit money control system and appointment for further discussion with him next week. Doctor Logan seemed to be favorable to the proposal * Report of the Committee re "Service Areas " Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the Committee re "Service Areas" reported progress. Doctor Ade raised the question as to whether it was permissible for one institution to establish extension courses in the service area of another institution. The Chairman stated that it was his belief that the institutions were limited by the service areas. He suggested that Doctor Ade raise the question with the Service Areas Committee. Doctor Steele pointed out that because of the changes in highways it was possible that the service area lines may need to be redefined. Doctor LaRue raised a question regarding extension work in the special fields, such as health and physical education, outside the service area of East Stroudsburg. The Chairman suggested, if possible, a meeting with those engaged in health and physical education regarding a delimitation of the service areas. Doctor Ross stated that he felt a Handbook of Regulations and Practices in the State Teachers Colleges should be published. The Chairman stated that the Department would give very careful consideration to the matter of preparing a general index of the minutes of the Board of Presidents as a Department project. This would contain all the regulations and practices of the State Teachers Colleges, -1382- s . I. Report of the Committee re "Purchase of Secondary School Lists" Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the Committee re "Purchase of Secondary School Lists", stated that he had received a letter from Mr. LeFever, President of the local branch of the National Association of Secondary School Principals, stating that a meeting of their committee was going to be held in October and that a member of the Board would be invited to be present at this meeting. Doctor Rowland stated that inasmuch as the date of this meeting conflicted with another engagement, he had asked Doctor Rohrbach to represent the committee at the meeting. Doctor Rohrbach stated that he would represent the Board of Presidents at the meeting of this group and would present the Board* cause. J. Delivery of Printed Materials to State Teachers Colleges Doctor Rohrbach stated that he was interested to know whether the Department could not materially speed up the delivery of printed materials to the State Teachers Colleges. The Chairman stated that he would discuss the matter with the Department of Property and Supplies. J£. Observation of Teaching in an Independent Elementary School Beyond the St u dent Teaching Requirement for Graduation Doctor Rohrbach raised the question as to whether it would be permissible for his students to do practice teaching on and beyond that required by the curriculum in the country day schools located in the Kutztown area. No objection was raised and the matter was removed from the Docket L. Uniform Placement Blank for State Teachers Colleges Doctor Tanger, Chairman of the Committee appointed to study the problem of a uniform placement blank for the State Teachers Colleges, reported progress.

Unfinished Business A. Report of the Curricular and Credentials Committee 1. Content for New Syllabi Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular and Credentials Committee, submitted the following report: "RELORT OF CURRICULUM AND CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE November 17, 1939 Re: Content for Syllabi Minimum statements describing each course in the the different colleges* courses and arranged by to mimeograph these the colleges so that core curriculum have bfeen secured from These have been tabulated according to subjects. Arrangements are being made descriptions and to distribute them to each instructional department may have access to these course descriptions. The committee recommends that each department study these course descriptions carefully with the purpose of preparing ultimately a brief composite statement for each course acceptable to all the colleges. The committee requests the active cooperation of all the teachers colleges in the next step of the study which will be the listing by topics for each course the content expected to be covered by the course. The committee believes that only by study can duplications of topics and course contents be discovered and refinements and revisions made where needed. Respectfully submitted, LeRoy A, King Q. A. W. Rohrbach Carmon Ross Albert Lindsay Rowland Robert M. Steele, Chairman" -1391*, 2. Home Economics Curriculum Doctor Steele distributed copies of the proposed four year curriculum in Home Economics. The Chairman pointed out that this was a uniform course for all Teachers Colleges offering the curriculum in home economics education. Inasmuch as one of the institutions had not seen the report and another raised objection to parts of the report, the Chairman suggested that the curriculum be reviewed again and a report presented at a subsequent meeting of the Board. 3. Courses for Special Fields for Certlf icat ion Doctor Steele presented the following report: "REPORT OF THE CURRICULUM AND CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE November 17, 1939 Re; Increase in Requirements for Certification The committee has discussed the recurring demands for more extended training in content subjects to be taught by prospective secondary teachers. The committee recommends that the Superintendent of Fublic Instruction be requested to consider the advisability of having each certificate issued for the 'secondary field indicate upon its face the number of semester hours completed by the holder in each field appearing on the face of the certificate. Respectfully submitted, LeRoy A. King Q. A. V/. Rohrbach Carmon Ross Albert Lindsay Rowland Robert M. Steele, Chairman" The Chairman accepted the recommendation of the committee and agreed to consider the suggestion. 4. Fields for Specialization for Students in Elementary Curriculum -1392- Doctor Steele presented the following report: "REFORT OF CURRICULUM AND CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE Re: Electives in Elementary Curriculum The committee has considered this topic referred to it through the Board from the meeting of the Deans of Instruction and makes the following Recommendations: 1. That teachers-in-service who desire to qualify for the Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education shall complete the core curriculum and choose electives from approved courses offered by the college at which the degree is to be conferred. 2. That students enrolled in preservice preparation for teaching in the Elementary field shall be required to specialize in one of the three variants of the Elementary curriculum Kindergarten-Primary, Intermediate, Rural and to select electives from the list of approved electives to be selected as described in the recommendation following, — — 3. That each President be instructed by the Board to appoint a committee from his staff to study and report to the Curriculum and Credentials Committee not later than January 1, 1940, its findings as to the courses which should be open for election to students specializing in each of the three groups, Kindorgartun-I rimary Intermediate and Sural. , Respectfully submitted LeRoy A. King Q. A. W. Rohrbach Carmon Ross Albert Lindsay Rowland Robert M. Steele, Chairman" It was pointed out that the committee recommended the continuance of the present practice of specialization in the three areas of Kindergarten-Primary, Intermediate, and Rural, but it recommended the preparation of new courses which in the composite judgment of the staffs of all the institutions would most likely contribute toward the competency of a teacher specializing in one of the three groups. It was further pointed out that this matter might well serve as the basis for faculty discussions and faculty collaboration. -1393- 5. Revision of Psychology Requirements Doctor Steele presented the following report: "REPORT OF CURRICULUM AND CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE November 17, 1939 Re: Revision of Psychology Requirements The committee believes that the most constructive method of approaching a revision of the psychology requirements is to request each college to have its psychology and education instructors prepare a report for the committee including the following: 1. Aims and Objectives of the study of Psychology by a prospective teacher. 2. General Content to be covered. 3. Specific Content (List by topics) needed by Elementary teacher a. Secondary b. Special subjects c. List by topics. If the Board approves this procedure, forms and instructions will be prepared for distribution. Respectfully submitted, LeRoy A. King Q,. A. W. Rohrbach Carmon Ross Albert Lindsay Rowland Robert M. Steele, Chairman M Doctor Steele stated that the committee requested this report be submitted by January 1, 1940. He also requested the cooperation of the Board in giving attention to requests of this type so that the work of the committee can be done in ample time before Board meetings. On motion by Doctor Rowland, seconded by Mr. Andruss, it was voted that the committee be authorized to prepare and distribute forms and instructions. -1394- s 6. Flexibility in the Fields of Concentration Doctor Steele submitted the following report: "RETORT OF THE CURRICULUM AND CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE November 17, 1939 Ret Flexibility in the Fields of Concentration In order to meet the criticism of several of the colleges the coirmittee recommends: In the elective arrangement in the fields of English, Social Studies, Geography, Methematics, French, Latin and Science as published in the Department of Public Instruction Bulletin 153, 1938, Teacher Education Curriculums, pages 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20, that the second list denoted by Roman II in each case be revised by striking out the word "Required" and inserting the word "Recommended." This change shall apply to English, Social Studies, Geography, Mathematics, French, Latin and Science, Respectfully submitted, LeRoy A. King Q. A. W. Rohrbach Carmon Ross Albert Lindsay Rowland Robert M. Steele, Chairman" It was pointed out that this procedure would liberalize the situation from the point of view of the student. Doctor Steele stated that it was assumed that there would be careful guidance on the part of the institutions. On motion by Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Rowland, it was voted that the report be adopted, 74 Increased Requirement in the Field of English < Doctor Steele submitted the following report: "REFORT OF THE CURRICULUM AND CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE November 17, 1939 Re: Increased Requirements for Certification in the Field of English -1395- The committee calls attention to its report recorded May 18, 1939, on page 1354 and corrected July 25, 1939, on page 1363, of the Proceedings of the Board of Teachers College Presidents. The committee believes that no special regulations should be made by this Board affecting certifications of teachers college graduates that do not equally apply to graduates of other institutions. The committee again calls attention to the wide range of courses available to the prospective teacher of English and the freedom each college has in offering these courses. The committee recommends that an additional elective course be approved and offered as follows: The Eighteenth Century 3-3 This course to include a study of the writings of such literary figures as Pope, Dryden, Addison, Steele, Swift, Johnson, Goldsmith, Sheridan, Congreve Wycherly, Defoe, Pepys Burns, Blake, Thomson, etc. , , Respectfully submitted, LeRoy A* King Q,. A. W. Rohrbach Carmon Ross Albert Lindsay Rowland Robert M. Steele, Chairman" On motion by Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Rowland, it was voted that the report of the committee be adopted, 8 . Course in Clinical Fractice (Not included on Docket ) Doctor Steele submitted the following report: "RETORT OF THE CURRICULUM AND CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE November 17, 1939 Re: A Course in Clinical Fractice Practicum in Psychological Clinic Variable Credit May be offered by any State Teachers College maintaining an approved psychological clinic in charge of a properly certificated public school psychologist or psychological examiner. -1396- Open only to students who have had the proper prerequisites and to graduate students specializing in the field. Admission by consent of the Director of the Clinic and the Dean of Instruction. The work will cover case studies, giving, scoring and interpreting mental tests, personality inventories and the use of clinical instruments. Credit will be awarded on the basis of one semester hour credit for each 45 clock hours spent in the actual work of the clinic; maximum credit, six semester hours. Respectfully submitted, LeRoy A. King Q. A. 77. Rohrbach Carmon Ross Albert Lindsay Rowland Robert M, Steele, Chairman,* Doctor Steele stated that this report followed requests from several of the Teachers Colleges maintaining approved psychological clinics to meet the requirements for certificates to act as public school psychologists and public school psychological examiners,. Questions were raised concerning the 45 clock hours recommended in the report inasmuch as eighteen semester hours are the basis for all courses; 54 clock hours were suggested. It was suggested that action be held in abeyance until the committee had time to revise the report for presentation at a subsequent meeting, B. Report of the Budget Committee 1 . Ranking of Faculty Members Doctor Miller, Chairman of the Budget Committee, submitted the following report: "RETORT OF BUDGET COMMITTEE Re: Ranking of Faculty Members trior to the meeting of the Budget Committee, questionnaires were sent to each president asking for his reaction regarding the former proposals for the ranking of faculty members. The replies showed such a divergence of opinion that the committee decided to recommend the following: 1. In view of recent studies made on the question of instructional staffs of State institutions, that a detailed study be made of such investigations. -1397- . 2. The committee believes that a phase of its problem which is worthy of consideration is the creation of a further classification in the salary schedule under the title of "Graduate Assistant". 3. The committee recommends further that, in order to make such study as seems desirable, the problem should be considered for a year. We, therefore, recommend that the question of Banking of Faculty Members be removed from the Docket for the present. Respectfully submitted, Lester K. Ade Leslie Pinckney Hill Charles S. Swope Landis Tanger Charles S. Miller, Chairman" The Chairman of the Board pointed out that it was a question of whether or not the Board wanted a ranking system. Inasmuch as it appeared to be the consensus that the question should not be removed from the Docket for the present, it was moved by Doctor King and seconded by Doctor Miller that the Budget Committee bring in a report at the next meeting in line with the suggestions made at the meeting. The motion carried and it was so voted . C. Report of Dr. Ross re "Marking Systems" Doctor Ross reported that he had sent a copy of the study on marking systems to each president with the request that it be reviewed carefully and suggestions submitted to him. The Chairman of the Board stated that he had read the report carefully and believed it to be deserving of careful study. It was agreed that the Chairman of the Board should appoint a committee of three to work with Doctor Ross and present a criticism of the report D. Report of the Committee re "Limitation of Enrolments" Item removed from the Docket. E. Reports from the Attorney General's Office Honorable George J. Barco, Deputy Attorney General, Department of Justice, appeared before the Board, 1, Possibility of Providing Liability Protection The question had been raised with the Department of Justice concerning the liability which the State Teachers Colleges would incur if a spectator were injured while attending an athletic contest in which the colleges participated, -.1398- . Mr. Barco stated that his answer was based on two legal principles: 1. The State Teachers Colleges are part of the State Government and are State Agencies. As such, no one can sue the Commonwealth without the Commonwealth's consent. 2. The Supreme Court states that when one participates in a sport, one assumes all risks incident to that sport Mr. Barco stated that the Attorney General concurred in the judgment that there is no liability on the part of the colleges. 2 Report of Play Production Material . "ith reference to the report on play production material, Mr. Barco stated that he had not gone into this matter and asked that the specific questions with reference to the use of play materials be submitted to him for study. Use of Teachers Colleges fcr Promotion of Aeronautics 3. With reference to this question, Mr. Barco stated that as he understood it, the instructor and the equipment necessary are furnished by the Federal Government and the colleges furnish only the room. He pointed out that the Acts that created the colleges provided that they were created for the purpose of preparing teachers and that the Board of Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges, with the approval of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, had within its power the right to formulate the educational policies of the State Teachers Colleges. He stated that there would be no objection to the development of a course of study in aeronautics if the Board saw fit to develop such a course* Mr. Barco further pointed out that a student taking this course would assume all risks incident to the course and that there would be no liability on the part of the college if a student should become injured or killed. He suggested that a release be prepared which would be signed by both students and parents. On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor King, it was voted that the program in aviation training as set forth in a communication from Mr. Robert H. Hinckley, Chairman, Civil Aeronautics Authority, Washington, D.C., be made available as a part of the approved curriculum program in such State Teachers Colleges as may be approved by the Superintendent of Public Instruction. F. Report of the Committee on Entrance Requirements 1 . Uniform College Admission Blank Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Committee on Entrance Requirements, submitted the following report: -1399- "REPORT OF CURRICULUM AND CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE November 17, 1939 Re: Uniform Admission Blank The committee has adapted the uniform admission blank proposed by the Bureau of Instruction, Department of Public Instruction, to the specific needs of the Teachers Colleges. The form was submitted to the Teachers Colleges and criticisms and suggestions solicited. Successive revisions were made based upon replies received and the resulting form resubmitted. The committee believes the form submitted represents the consensus of opinions expressed and recommends its adoption. Respectfully submitted, LeRoy A. King Q. A. r. Rohrbach Carmon Ross Albert Lindsay Rowland Robert M. Steele, Chairman" A copy of the Uniform Admission Blank follows page 1400. On motion by Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Ade, it was voted that the report of the committee relative to this uniform blank be adopted. Doctor Rowland and Mr. Andruss voted "no". The Chairman of the Board pointed out that the State Teachers Colleges were holding in abeyance the actual use of the blank until it was established that a majority of the institutions of higher learning in Pennsylvania vere using the uniform admission blank. -1400- Application for Admission Commonwealth of Pennsylvania DEPARTMENT OF FUBLIC INSTRUCTION Harrisburg State Teachers College at To the Applicant: Please fill in the first two pages of this application; then take the form to your high school principal who will fill in pages three and four.

Report of the Committee on Publications The Chairman of the Board reported that some months ago when he was chairman of the Committee on Publications, he had taken up with Doctor Logan the possibility of developing a financial unit of control for publications and that Doctor Logan had stated h« would be glad to talk to him about the matter. The Chairman of the Board further reported that following his appointment as Superintendent of Public Instruction, he had asked Doctor King to discuss the matter with Doctor Logan. The Chairman of the Board stated that he would turn over to Doctor King his complete file on the subject of publications in order that Doctor King might become familiar with the background of the situation and take up the matter with Doctor Logan. H. Report of the Committee re "Service Areas" Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the Committee re "Service Areas", submitted the following report: "REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON SERVICE AREAS TO THE BOARD OF PRESIDENTS November 17, 1939 The last report of the Service Area Committee was under date of March 17, 1939, at which time the Committee restricted its report to the question of de-limiting the service areas in the special fields. Two alternative suggestions were made to the Board, and spread upon the minutes, that careful study be made of the suggestions and that further discussion be developed at the next meeting of the Board. Your Committee held a full day's session on November 2. Present: Presidents Chandler, LaRue Rowland, Swope. Absent: President Ross. Doctor Klonower, the Secretary of the Board, met with the Committee. , The Chairman presented a statement concerning the service area policy which developed a sharp difference of opinion among the members of the Committee regarding the relationship of recruiting to the service areas. Messrs. Chandler and LaRue contended that inasmuch as the colleges draw the largest proportion of their student body from their own service area, the size of the service area would be reflected in the size of the student body and the influence of the college correspondingly affected. 1405- The other members of the Committee took the position that inasmuch as all teachers colleges draw students from beyond the boundaries of the service area, the service area should be determined largely by ease of communication with the college campus and by the facilities of the college to render professional service, and should The service area should comprise not represent a recruitment area. school districts for whom the college would render those schools and district professional advice and counsel, would lend instructional materials, hold professional meetings, provide demonstration of instructional techniques, etc. After further discussion the following statement was, I believe, the sense of the Committee: * The service area is a geographical section, determined by its ease of access to the college and by the ability of the college to render professional assistance to its schools. In this area the college has its major interest. To this area it confines its efforts to inform high school students of the opportunities lying in the teaching profession, and to this area it limits its professional assistance to the public schools.' - Four major problems face the Committee: 1. 2. 3. 4. a determination of the ethical procedures which should control each college in relation to its service area and to the service areas of other colleges a further definition and listing of the professional services which a college might be expected to render in its area a reconsideration of the present service area boundaries. (At this point it was the feeling of the Committee that the matter of reallocation of boundaries should be discussed by the Board for the information of the Committee. Dr. LaRue took the position that the original code areas set up in Section 2001 of the school code should be the service areas rather than the present service areas.) the determination of the larger service areas in the special fields. (Discussion developed at this point that where a college by reason of a special curriculum has an enlarged service area its influence tends to conflict with that of other colleges whose specifio service areas it invades by its special field of interest. The Committee was unable for the present to resolve this difficulty.) It was the feeling of the Committee that the Chairman should present in this report, especially for the benefit of those presidents who have joined the Board since 1925, a statement concerning the origin of the service areas. In the early years of the Finegan administration it appeared that the normal school districts set forth in the code were substantially without function, as under the law there was no specific limitation laid upon any of the normal schools by reason of these districts. It was, however, strongly felt that each normal school should become a center for professional service for the area surrounding it, and under the direction of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and with the approval of the Board of Normal School Principals, the Department of Public Instruction proceeded to develop geographical areas around each of the then thirteen : -1406- State Normal Schools on the basis of railroad and highway communication, density of population and existing facilities for service at the normal school. No change in these area lines has been made since their first determination with, I believe, the exception of that portion of Lycoming County lying south and west of the Susquehanna River which was very shortly after the first division taken from the Mansfield service area and attached to that of Lock Haven. A further exception appears in the published maps dividing Blair County between Indiana and Lock Haven, although I can find no record of this division in any of the printed statements of the service areas, and have therefore assigned all of Blair County in this report to the service area of Lock Haven. The question now arises - shall these service areas be reestablished along different lines, and if so, what shall determine the change? The Committee submits herewith for the consideration of the Board a statement of the present service areas with the populations revised as of the 1930 census, the original populations having been based upon the 1920 census. The cities of Pittsburgh and of Philadelphia which would normally fall respectively in the service areas of Slippery Rock and of West Chester have been omitted from these lists of populations. The Committee gave considerable thought to this matter and were again of the opinion that a discussion by the Board would be helpful in resolving this point. While there are at present no public teacher education institutions either in Pittsburgh or in Philadelphia and while these cities will undoubtedly draw in substantial measure from the State Teachers Colleges for their supply of teachers, there is also maintained in each of these cities an elaborate supervisory and professional service system abetted by the universities situated in these cities which changes sharply the relationship between these cities and the State Teachers Colleges as contrasted with the relationship prevailing elsewhere in the State. The Chairman of the Committee was also instructed to present a suggested division of the State for the larger service areas required for the special fields. Such a division is tentatively offered herewith. The Committee requests instruction from the Board of Presidents as to its further procedure* Respectfully submitted, Paul G. Chandler Daniel F.

The Chairman suggested that the matter be continued on the Docket. He urged that the report of the committee be studied carefully by the members of the Board and recommendations and criticisms submitted to the chairman of the committee so that a specific recommendation might be submitted at the next meeting of the Board. I. Report of the Committee re "Purchase of Secondary School Lists" Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the Committee re "Purchase of Secondary School Lists", submitted the following report: "REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON PURCHASE OF LISTS OF SENIOR STUDENTS November 17, 1939 To the Board of Teachers College Presidents: At the meeting of the Board of Presidents on Thursday, May 18, by Dr. Ade consisting of Presidents 1939, Noonan, Rohrbach and Rowland, Chairman, to discuss the case of the teachers colleges with the Pennsylvania Branch of the National Education Association, Department of Secondary School Principals. a committee was appointed It will be remembered that this group of Secondary School Principals had arranged to provide lists of their senior students to be sold to colleges and other approved agencies who might seek such lists. This suggestion I believe had been made to this group by Dr. Paul Cressman after there had been substantial complaint on the part of the high school principals of the many demands made upon them for such lists. The Chairman of the Committee wrote Mr. J. E. Nancarrov, Principal of the VJilliamsport High School and Secretary of the Pennsylvania Branch, as follows: My dear Mr. Nancarrow: At a recent meeting of the Board of State Teachers College Presidents I was appointed chairman of a committee to consult with the Pennsylvania Branch of the Department of Secondary School Principals relative to the lists of high school graduates which I understand have been prepared by this group and are for sale to those who may wish such lists. While fully appreciating the annoyance that must attach to requests constantly made to high school principals for the lists of their graduates and other students by various agencies interested in circular?izing these students, it was the feeling of the Board of Teachers College Presidents that inasmuch as the State Teachers Colleges of Pennsylvania -1411- . are an integral part of the public school system of the Commonwealth and represent the principal source of supply for the teachers of the public schools, there should be a relationship set up between these colleges and the high schools of the Commonwealth which would provide in such manner and with such frequency as might be mutually agreed upon such lists of high school students as should receive information concerning the several curricula available in teacher education for the high school graduates of the State, Inasmuch as the State Teachers Colleges are public institutions and no funds are available for the purchase of any such lists T and inasmuch as the Secondary School Principals, Teachers College Presidents and all other administrators in the public school system are equally concerned with an adequate and competent supply of teachers for the schools, it was the feeling of the Board that it would be proper to suggest that an exception be made in your ruling, making available these lists to the State Teachers Colleges without cost. As Secretary of the Pennsylvania Branch of the Department of Secondary School Principals of the National Education Association, I am writing you in the hope that you will give me your frank reaction to the point of view which I have expressed and if there are others with whom I should correspond, that you would let me know their names. The committee of the Board, consisting of Presidents Noonan, Rohrbach and myself, would be very happy to meet with your group at some time in the near future that would be mutually convenient. With kindest regards, I am Very sincerely yours, Albert Lindsay Rowland The Chairman subsequently received a communication from Mr. G. W. Lefever, Principal of the Gettysburg High School and President of the Pennsylvania Branch, stating that he was scheduling a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Branch for Thursday evening, October 26, to meet with representatives of the Board of Teachers College Presidents to consider this matter. By this time Dr. Noonan was no longer a member of the Board. President Rohrbach was unable to be present at the meeting and the Chairman asked Dr. Klonower to join him in behalf of the Board of Presidents in meeting with the Executive Committee. This Committee consists of G. W. Lefever, Gettysburg, J. Ernest Wagner, Johnstown, J. E. Nancarrow, Williamsport, E. A. Gladfelter, York, Horace G. Geisel, Harrisburg and Oliver S. Heckman, Department of Putlic Instruction. All members of the Committee were present except Mr. Heckman whose place was taken by Dr. Cressman of the Department Your Cnairman presented the case for the Board of Presidents. The discussion was entirely friendly but the Secondary School Principals clearly felt that they should not make an exception in the case of the teachers colleges, and it was further pointed out that three of the teachers colleges are already and have been purchasing these lists so that my contention that the teachers colleges were not in a position to buy these lists was heavily discounted. -1412- The Executive Committee did, however, consent to the purchase of one list to be used by all of the state teachers colleges, giving permission for the division of such a list to accomodate the several service areas served by the teachers colleges. It is therefore the recommendation of your Committee that such a list be purchased and the cost divided equally among the several colleges, the list to be divided in Dr. Klonower^s office and distributed to the several colleges. The cost is $40.00 less 20% for advance payment, but as advance payment is probably impossible by our plan of purchase, the cost would be $40.00. Respectfully submitted Albert Lindsay Rowland Chairman" On motion by Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Miller, it was voted that the report of the committee be adopted, J. Uniform Placement Blank for State Teachers Colleges Doctor Tanger, Chairman of the committee appointed to study the possibility of providing a uniform placement blank for State Teachers Colleges, submitted the following report: REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON UNIFORM PLACEMENT BLANKS The committee recommends that the Board of Teachers College Presidents request the Chairman of the Pennsylvania Institutional Teacher Placement Association to appoint a committee of three Teachers College placement officials to cooperate with our committee in the development of uniform placement blanks. We recognize that the greater number of placement forms used throughout the Teachers Colleges should be uniform. Mimeographed forms may be used to take care of peculiar local conditions. Respectfully submitted Cannon Ross Robert M. Steele Landis Tanger, Chairman" On motion by Doctor Tanger, seconded by Doctor Miller, it was voted that the report of the committee be accepted with thanks and the item removed from the Docket. K. Organization of Summer and Post -Summer Sessions, 1940 On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Flowers, it was voted that a committee be appointed to study the question of summer and post-summer sessions. -1413- L. Affiliation with the Pennsylvania Committee on Fublic Education The Chairman stated that if this and similar organizations requested that the Department have a representative present at their meetings, he would be willing to send one but that membership seems inadvisable. The item was removed from the Docket. M. Employment of Administrative Officers in State Teachers Colleges Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the committee appointed to study this question, submitted the following report: "STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE Shippensburg Pa. , October 20, 1939 To the Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges: The Committee appointed to report upon the advisability of providing for salary in twelve equal installments for certain administrative officers of the State Teachers Colleges begs to present for the consideration of the Board the following resolution: "Inasmuch as certain administrative officers have duties and responsibilities at times when the colleges are not in session, "Be it Resolved: That the responsible fiscal officers . of the Commonwealth be requested to permit any of the teachers /] ^ colleges, whose Board of Trustees feels the efficiency of the college to be advanced thereby, to arrange through appropriate payroll requisition for the payment of the salary of the Dean of Instruction on a twelve months basis', the computation to be calculated for forty-eight weeks on the basis of the present salary schedule, a thirty-six weeks salary to be increased by ^ one-third of its total amount and paid in twelve equal install- * ments throughout the year. Where it is desired to employ other administrative officers such as Dean of Men, Dean of Women, Dietitian, Librarian, Director of the Laboratory Schools, etc., for additional service beyond the basic thirty-six weeks of the salary schedule, computation will be made on the same basis for such additional weeks as the officer in question may be employed. \ , Albert Lindsay Rowland Chairman of Committee" -1414- On motion by Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Miller, it was voted that the report of the committee be adopted. N. Report of the Calendar Committee Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the Calendar Committee, submitted the following Calendar for 1940-41: "CALENDAR , 1940-1941 SU1VMER SESSIONS 1940 I.

On motion by Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Rowland it was voted that the Board adopt the Calendar as submitted by the Calendar Committee with each institution having the option of selecting whether or not it should have the longer recess between semesters or the longer recess at Easter. Doctor Ross voted "no". III. New Business A. Policy re Services to School Districts in Pennsylvania by Presidents of State Teachers Colleges The Chairman pointed out that the policy at the present time was that the members of the Board of Presidents do not accept honorariums for educational services in Pennsylvania. He stated that the members may, however, accept expenses, if no expense statement is submitted to the State for payment. B . Use of Facilities of Colleges by Outside Agencies Doctor Flowers raised the question of charging fees for the use of the swimming pool by outside agencies. It was the general opinion of the Board that where outside agencies were concerned, the problem involved was one that should be settled by the Board of Trustees as a matter between outside agencies and the Board of Trustees. C. Late Registration Fee (Not included on Docket ) The question was raised concerning the intent of the policy with reference to the late" registration fee as to whether it applied merely to semester registrations or whether it applied to all payment periods. On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Ross, it was voted that the intent of the late registration fee was to apply to all payment periods. 1416- Presidents Fl overs , Ade , Tanger, Swope, King, and LaRue voted "no". Doctor Hill was not present when the vote was taken. D. Relations with Pennsylvania State College (Not included on Docket ) The Chairman advised the members of the Board concerning a letter which had been received from Dr. R. D. Hetzel, President, The Pennsylvania State College, suggesting a conference between representatives of the State Teachers Colleges and The Pennsylvania State College. The desire was expressed on the part of the Board to cooperate with Doctor Hetzel* s request for a conference and the suggestion was made that he send additional dates and suggest the topic for discussion in order that the Chairman might appoint a small, appropriate committee of the Board. The Secretary was authorized to advise Doctor Hetzel of the action of the Board. The Chairman expressed thanks to the members of the Board for their assistance in advancing the various items upon the Docket. He especially thanked the Chairmen of the various committees. He suggested that prompt Board action and necessary discussion can take place only if members cooperate promptly and fully with committees to viiom are assigned items for review and presentation to the Board. The Chairman stressed the importance of three items that vail appear on the next Docket affecting the professional work of the institutions, namely: a. b. c. The ranking of faculty members by the Budget Committee Marking systems by Doctor Ross Service Areas by the Service Area Committee He suggested that plans be taken for immediate action which might take the form of a faculty discussion^ followed by a more intensive study by a small committee, followed by a specific, brief, written reaction by the president to the responsible committee chairmen.

Report of the Budget C omrr. it 1* f ee_ Ranking of Faculty Membe rs In the absence of Doctor Miller, Chairman of the Budget Committe Doctor Ade read the following report: "REIORT OF THE BUDGET COMMITTEE Re: Ranking of Faculty Members After considering all angles of the question of ranking of faculty, the Committee presents the following report: 1. The Committee recommends that no system of ranking of faculty be considered at the present time, and that the matter be dropped from the docket. -1423- 2, The Committee also recommends that the members of the Board of Presidents study the question with open minds, and that each president and his faculty continue to study the problem with a view to its consideration at a later time* Respectfully submitted, Lester K. Ade Leslie Pinckney Hill Gharles S, Swope Land is Tanger Charles S. Miller, Chairman January 19, 1940" On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by -Doctor Tanger, it was voted that the report of the committee be adopted with the provision that the item be kept on the docket of the Budget Committee for further study. The members of the Board were urged to consider the question carefully and be prepared to advise the Budget Committee of their recommendations, C. Report of Committee re "Marking Systems" Doctor Ade, Chairman of the Reviewing Committee on College Marking Systems, presented the following report: "REPORT OF REVIEWING COMMITTEE ON COLLEGE MARKING SYSTEMS The Committee has had one meeting. At this meeting it was the consensus of opinion of the group that rigid uniformity with respect to Marking Systems in any of its aspects is undesirable and impracticable. The Reviewing Committee feels that Doctor Ross has done a good job in focusing attention on this matter, and urges individual colleges to continue their independent study and experimentation. The Committee questions the advisability of using the distribution curve in determining grades in student teaching. In other words, students who get any grade in student teaching at the lower end of the scale will find it practically impossible to secure placement. The Reviewing Committee recommends that a system of honor points be required, not only for graduation but also for student teaching, provided however, that it does in no way lower standards The Reviewing Committee thinks it desirable that of achievement. a careful study be made as it affects the superior or gifted student. -1424- Since it is virtually impossible to establish a uniform system for all colleges, and in view of the fact that examinations are objective or subjective, oral or written,. 9tandard or comprehensive, and that they measure not only acquired ability but native ability, it is wise for all groups concerned to continue within their respective institutions toward further development in measurement and appraising the value and ability of the student. Furthermore, the Committee suggests that a system of rating of personality traits be studied, especially as it affects student teaching. The Reviewing Committee recommends that our colleges, for transfer purposes, adopt, effective September 1940, a uniform plan of marking which comprises a system of four passing marks and three non-passing grades. It recommends that A, B, C, & D, be used for the passing grades and that E, F, & Inc., be used for non-passing grades -.- E to indicate conditional failure, F to indicate complete, total, or absolute failure, and the course must be repeated with no privilege of make-up, Inc. to indicate incomplete* Respectfully submitted, John G, Flowers Carmon Ross Lester K. Ade, Chairman" On motion of Doctor Ade, seconded by Doctor Tanger, it was voted that the Board adopt the recommendation of the committee with respect to a uniform plan of marking for all colleges with the exception of the Cooperative Curriculum at Shippensburg. D. Report from Attorney General* 1. s Office Report of Flay Production Material The Chairman of the Board reported that Mr. George J. Barco, Deputy Attorney General, was still studying the question raised by the Board with reference to Play Production Material and that an opinion would be given at a subsequent meeting of the Board.

Report of the Committee re "Service Areas Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the Committee re "Service Areas", presented the following report: "REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON SERVICE AREAS TO THE BOARD OF PRESIDENTS January 19, 1940 Since the last meeting of the Board of Presidents a letter from Doctor Haas requested each member of the Board to report to the Committee regarding any questions or objections that they wish to raise concerning the last report of the Committee. The Chairman of the Committee has heard from but four members of the Board: From Acting President LaRue suggesting that the present service areas remain as at present constituted until measures are taken for a prolonged study of the situation, and that the special service areas be left in each case to a committee composed of the presidents of the colleges concerned; , From President Chandler, raising a question regarding the eastern part of Venango County, asking a ruling as to its allocation. Apparently subsequent to the first limitation of service areas in 1922 agreement was reached between the presidents of Edinboro and Clarion and the Department of Public Instruction that that portion of Venango County east of the Allegheny River be assigned to Clarion. From President Swope, suggesting that a ruling be secured from Doctor Haas in answer to Doctor LaRue* s point as to the legal justification for the present service areas in view of the specified code areas in the law, which ruling was accordingly made by Doctor Haas under date of November 29, as follows: "It is my judgment that the Service Area allocation represents a mutual agreement on the part of the Board of Presidents and one which it is within their authority to make ." From President Rohrbach with special reference to the allocation of the service areas in the field of Art Education. In view of the character and amount of this response the Committee desires to make the following report at the present time: That the present service areas for curricula offered by all the colleges remain as defined including the division of Venango County between Edinboro and Clarion, and the division of Lycoming County between Lock Haven and Mansfield; that the determination of the service areas for the special fields be left with the presidents of the several colleges offering curricula in these special fields until the meeting of the Board of Presidents in July 1940, with tne hope and expectation that by conference and correspondence the several presidents may determine upon mutually agreeable boundary lines for the special -1426- service area/limitations as set forth in the report of the Committee on November 17 will prevail. The Committee suggests that until July 1940 this item be removed from the docket. Respectfully submitted Paul G. Chandler Daniel W. LaRue Carmon Ross Charles S.

Pennsylvania Cooperative Study of Teacher Education in " (Not included on DocketT The Secretary of the Board distributed copies of the Erie Planning Conference material for the Cooperative Study of Teacher Education in Pennsylvania, held October 20, 1939. He reported that at the December meeting of the Cooperative Commission held at the Penn-Harris Hotel, the Executive Committee of this Commission considered ways and means of raising funds to continue meetings in different sections of the State for the discussion of the problems in the field of teacher education. He stated that it was suggested that each institution be requested to contribute flO.OO toward the cost of the administration of the study in the field of teacher education On motion of Doctor Ross, seconded by Doctor Tanger, it was voted that the Board of Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges cooperate with other groups in a study of the problems connected with teacher education in Pennsylvania. G. Advertisement in Pennsylvania School Journal Not included on Docket ) ( The Secretary of the Board read the following letter from Mr. H. E. Gayman, Executive Secretary, Pennsylvania State Education Association: "PENNSYLVANIA STATE EDUCATION ASSOCIATION Pennsylvania School Journal Official Organ 400 North Third Street Harrisburg, Pa. January 16, 1940 Doctor Henry Klonower Department of Public Instruction Harrisburg, Pennsylvania My dear Doctor Klonower; You will recall that on a number of occasions -1431- I have spoken to you with reference to the advertisement of the State Teachers Colleges which appears regularly on the back cover of the Pennsylvania School Journal. Our Association has been very appreciative of the action of the Board of State Teachers College Presidents in approving this advertising which not only keeps the State Teachers Colleges before the school people of Pennsylvania, but also has been a substantial source of income to the Association. During the last two years commercial advertising has been quite difficult to secure. One of the firms with which we have had considerable correspondence is Allyn and Bacon. Mr. Bacon, President of this Company, informs me that it is their fixed policy to advertise only on the back cover of educational magazines. He further informs me that should the back cover be available their Company would contract for each monthly issue from March, 1940 to June, 1941, inclusive. hesitate because of the long and satisfactory relations that have existed to raise this question. However, I am wondering if the Board of Presidents would be willing to accept another preferred position in the Pennsylvania School Journal. The cost of the different pages is I as follows: Back cover Inside back cover Inside front cover $250 per issue $225 per issue $225 per issue All of these other preferred spaces are now available with the exception of the inside of the front cover for the month of September, From the point of view of securing additional advertising from book companies, I think you can readily see that it would be quite a stimulus to have a regular page advertisement from Allyn and Bacon. May I ask that you present this matter to the Board of Presidents at its next meeting? Very sincerely yours, H . E . Gayman Executive Secretary" G d On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Steele, it was voted that the following resolution of the Board be adopted and transmitted to Mr. Gayman by the Secretary of the Board: "Be it Resolved: That the Board of Teachers College Presidents are very sensible of the pleasant relationship which has long prevailed between the Board and the Pennsylvania State Education Association in the publishing of the Pennsylvania School Journal and in the provision which has been made to give the back page to the Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges. -1432- The Board fully realizes the difficulties which are faced in meeting the requirements of the several advertisers and at the same time filling all the available advertising space to the best advantage and with the largest income to the Pennsylvania School Journal. However, the Board is unanimously reluctant to relinquish the strategic position which we have so long enjoyed on the back cover of the Journal. For a number of years, our friends have been accustomed to look to this point for information concerning the State Teachers Colleges and their offerings to young people interested in entering the teaching profession. To change the location of this advertisement to another position inside the magazine, however advantageous the new position might be, would destroy some measure of the value of the advertisement, just as a shopkeeper regards the location of his establishment as one of the intangible assets of his business. Under these circumstances, the Board hopes that it may be permitted to continue having the space on the back cover of the Journal, and it is therefore resolved that the Board authorizes no change in the present contractual arrangement with the Pennsylvania School Journal for advertising space for the ensuing year." H. Remarks by the Chairman of the Board The Chairman of the Board pointed out the advisability for each President to examine the activities within his institution and to make sure that these activities are consistent with the philosophy back of the institutions, namely, to prepare teachers for the public schools. The suggestion was made that each President know his organization. Sometime ago a chart of each organization was prepared. This should be brought up to date and be kept available. This is one of the best methods of crystallizing complete understanding of the organization of the institution.. It was pointed out that the Presidents of the institutions have personal contacts with employees, members of the Boards of Trustees, the community, and members of other State Departments. The suggestion was made that care should be taken that such contacts, both written and oral, should be of such a character as not to embarrass the administrative officer. Points of irritation do arise but there can be no justification for the expression of this irritation in official communications. Great care must be taken in the matter of dismissing a teacher for incompetency. If a teacher is dismissed for this cause, she should know it and the records should clearly indicate the fact. There have been instances Of teachers recorded as "resigned voluntarily", but it subsequently develops that the real cause has been dismissal for incompetency. -1433- , It is necessary to know the official machinery of State operation It is important to know the various steps through of the institutions. which a requisition must go. The Fresident is a State official. Procedures are prescribed by law. The President is obliged to follow these procedures in conformity with the requirements of the Administrative Code. Frequent requests have been made for exceptions from adopted policy. such requests are made, the less explanation and justif i oat ion fewer The will be required at a later date. The Chairman of the Board emphasized the necessity of knowing the personnel of the institutions. He pointed out the difficulty of making a satisfactory explanation if the head of an institution could not identify the employees and indicate the specific work for which they were placed on the State payroll. In conclusion, the Chairman of the Board pointed out that each President should be prepared to justify his actions as a State officer in terms of the purpose for which the Legislature created the State Teachers Colleges. The importance of reviewing personal contacts of all kinds, including necessary relationships with State Department officers, was emphasized and, finally, the suggestion was made that each President find out within a week from some appropriate staff member in the Department of Public Instruction, exactly what maintenance is provided for Presidents.

Montfort Melchior, its Principal, that the post high school year now offered at Girard College be accepted at the State Teachers Colleges for advanced standing in academic courses, the Curricular and Credentials Committee, to whom this -1443- , matter has been referred, begs to offer the following observations: Education in any professional field, such as 1. Medicine, Law, Engineering, or teaching requires not only the opportunity to acquire certain specific professional knowledges and skills but also the opportunity to do this in a single institution set up for this purpose and for a period of time sufficiently long to secure adequate professional attitude. foregoing is true, we should hesitate so to extend the privilege of advance standing to a point where the student would fail to acquire this desirable professional attitude due to a division of his preparation between two or more institutions and to an insufficient time spent in the ultimate professional institution. 2. If "the The Committee, however, recognizes that if and as Junior colleges increase in number and the termination of general education with the 14th year becomes more generally recognized as desirable, adequate professional experience will have to extend. 3, Therefore, the Committee recommends for the present 4. that the State Teachers Colleges accept credits for post-high school work only from such institutions as may be regularly accredited by the State Council of Education, Respectfully submitted, LeRoy A. King Q. A. W. Rohrbach Carmon Ross Albert Lindsay Rowland Robert M. Steele, Chairman" On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Rowland, it was voted that this matter be investigated further in relation to the status of such accreditment in other institutions of higher learning and standard accrediting agencies.

D. Report of Committee re "Study of Summer and Post-Suraner Sessions" There was unanimous agreement that this matter be on the Docket until the Fall meeting of the Board when for the current summer sessions would be available for E. Report of Testing Committee 1. Results of Testing Program Doctor Flowers, Chairman of the Committee, reported that on the basis of the results submitted by the institutions in connection with the Freshman testing program, it was apparent that there was a misunderstanding among the members with reference to the report of the Testing Committee which appears on page 1371 of the minutes of the Board of Presidents, July 25, 1939. It appeared that only eight of the fourteen institutions used the tests designated by the committee. Doctor Flowers stated that if the eight institutions would use the distribution sheets in connection with the tests, the committee would be willing to make a comparative study of the data.
