Report of the Committee re "Service Areas*^ Doctor Rowland, Chairman uf the Comiraittee, read the following excerpt from the report of the Service Areas Committee submitted at the January 19, 1940 meeting of the Board: "That the present service areas for curricula offered by ail 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 -1454- July 1940, with the hope and expectation that by conference and correspondence the several presidents may determine upon mutually agreeable boundary lines for the special service area fields. Where such agreement is not reached by the time of the July meeting of the Board, the special service area limitations as set forth in the report of the Committee on November 17 will prevail."

C. Report of the Fees Committee 1, Special Curriculum Fees Doctor Ade following report: , Chairman of the Committee, submitted the "REPORT OF THE FEES COmilTTEE RELATIVE TO A LIBRARY SCIENCE FEE The Committee xpet Thursday afternoon, Ju^y 18, and gave serious consideration to the proposal of Doctor Rohrbach that a fee in the library science curriculum be charged and made effective at some future date. -1455- As a matter of general principle, the Committee believes that any future fees should be based upon the needs and costs for the maintenance of the activity for vhich the fee is charged. Contingent fees covering registration, keeping of records, library, student welfare, health service, and laboratory facilities have been, in the past, the basis upon which the amounts of fees were established, Tlie Committee is of the opinion that the Presidents of the institutions affected should confer and agree on suggested fees and indicate the basis on which such fee is determined. This will be helpful to the Committee in formulating a final recommendation to the Board, Therefore, the Committee recommends that the Presidents of the three institutions concerned submit to the Fees Committee, at their early convenience, their suggested recommendation with reference to the library science curriculum fee. Respectfully submitted, John G, Flowers Harvey A. Andruss Lester K. Ade, Chairman" On motion of Doctor Ade, seconded by Mr. Andruss, it was voted that the report of the Committee be adopted, D.

He discussed the possibility of establishing a course in Conservation Education in the State Teachers Colleges. He stated that at no time in the history of the country has the need been greater to teach the wise use of our natural resources. The Chairman of the Board thanked Mr. Gordon and his associates for the interesting material presented to the Board, He suggested that this matter be referred to the Curricular and Credentials Committee for study and report at a subsequent meeting. -1456- E. Report of the Calendar Committee Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the Coramittee, distributed copies of the preliminary calendar for the year 1941-42 to the members of the Board for their consideration and action at the next meeting of the Board. The calendar is to be studied and brought before the Board for action at its next meeting. F, Regulations Governing Admission to State Teachers Colleges with Advanced Standing Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular and Credentials Committee, submitted the following report: "REPORT OF THE CURRICULAR AND CREDENTIALS COWMITTEE July 19, 1940 Re: Amendment of Regulation governing admission with advanced standing. The Board of Presidents in its meeting of May 18, 1939, adopted a policy regarding admission of students v/ith advanced standing. That policy as adopted appears in the Proceedings of the Meetings of the Board of Presidents on Page 1352 as follows: 1, Transfers from other institutions will not be accepted without certificates of honorable dismissal, 2. Credit will be given for acceptable courses pursued in accredited collegiate institutions in which the student has made a grade above the lowest passing grade in the institution in which the work was done. 3, All students who are candidates for a degree shall be required to arrange a program of studies approved by the Dean of Instruction. Any student desiring to pursue any part of this program at a different institution will be required to secure, in advance, the approval of such courses from the Dean of Instruction, -1457 The Coimnittee' s attention has been called to the need of making the policy more definite in cases where institutions use the percentage system of grading. It is therefore recommended that the policy be amended to read as follows: 1, Transfers from other institutions v;ill not be accepted without certificates of honorable disinissal. 2, Credit vri.ll be given for acceptable courses pursued in accredited collegiate institutions in which the student has r&ade a grade above the lowest passing grade in the institution in which the work was done. Where the grades are marked on a percentage basis, work graded five percent above the minimum passing grade will be accepted. 3, All students who are candidates for a degree shall be required to arrange a program of studies approved by the Dean of Instruction, Any student desiring to pursue any part of this program at a different institution v;ill be required to secure, in advance, the approval of such courses from the Dean of Instruction, Respectfully submitted, LeRoy A, King Q. A. W. Rohrbach Albert Lindsay Rowland Garmon Ross Robert M, Steele, Chairman" On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Rohrbach, it was voted that the Board adopt the amended policy with reference to admission with advanced standing. G. Proposal for the Establishment of an Additional Level of the Salary Schedule Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular and Credentials Committee, submitted the following report: -1458- "REPORT OF THE CURRICULAR AM) CREDENTIALS COMVUTTEE July 19, 1940 Re: Proposal for the establishment of an additional level of the Salary Schedule The Coinmittee has carefully considered the constantly increasing loads imposed on the instructional staff by the growing trend toward explicit or implied prescription of additional extra class activities. It has noted the effect of the requirement of masters* and doctors' degrees in the strain on available financial support if provisions of the present salary schedule are to be carried out. Furthermore, the Committee is disturbed by the relative impossibilit of bringing into the faculties of the Teachers Colleges young men and women of outstanding scholarship and exceptional teaching Jjromise due to the requirement of a minimum of three years teaching experience, one half of which must have been in public schools. This the Committee believes excludes from consideration many whose background of culture and whose superior scholarly attainment make them most desirable as staff members. The Committee believes that a limited number of college graduates selected from such prospects though without teaching experience could be given a much superior experience and a more adequate professional training than is possible by three years teaching in public schools even if such prospective college instructors should enter public school teachingwhich is seldom the case. The Curricular and Credentials Committee, therefore, proposes that the Board consider the following suggestion and refer it to an appropriate committee for such further study as the Board may desire and for action at a future meeting of the Board of Presidents: 1, The Committee suggests the establishment of an additional level of the Salary Schedule to be knovra as Class IV, the qualifications for which shall be graduation from an approved college, outstanding scholastic attainment and high promising personal qualifications, , 2. The annual 36 week salary shall be ^1500 with provision for four annual increments of $120. -1459 3, Such members of the Staff shall be designated as Graduate Assistants and experience as a Graduate Assistant shall be counted as public school experience. Respectfully submitted, LeRoy A. King Carmon Ross Q,. A. W. Rohrbach Albert Lindsay Rowland Robert M. Steele, Chairman" On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Ade, was voted that the report be adopted. It Doctor Ross voted "no", H, Education of Teachers for a Democracy At the conclusion of the formal business, Doctor Rowland presented an inspiring and timely talk on the education of teachers for a democracy. Copies of the remarks follow page 1460 as Exhibit "A". The meeting adjourned at 12:20 P.M. Francis B. Haas Superintendent of Public Instruction -1460- Exhibit "A" THE TEACHER '8 RESPONSIBILITY FOR (lYcoentsd fo AiVlERICAi^ DEMOCRACY Board of Presidents - July 19, 1%0) (By Albert Lindsay Rovdand) tlie A fortnight ago this country celebrated the l64.th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. In that amazing document, all too unfamiliar to the riverage American citizen, are these words: "We hold those truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rigiits, that among these are Life, Liberty and tht. pursuit of Happiness - Th.:;t to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving th^jir just powers from the consent of the governed." In these words, Thomas Jefferson, i/ith an accuracy, economy and beauty of vorbagf seldom surpassed, expressed the fiuidamental philosophy of /vmerican Dciraocracy. To this philosophy this coiantry has, often stupidly, sometimes griidgingly and :.l\;ays imperfectly, but, on the whole, ffithfiilly, devoted itself in the century and a half of its existence. So engaging, so encouraging and so convincing has been the picture painted by these words on the :iiinds of men that again and again have they endeavored to model their governments on these principles. At the close of the First V/orld \/ar thinking and right hearted men shocked both by its actuality and by the possibilities of its recurrence, that an honest attempt vjas made to set up the democratic form of government in country after country that never before had experienced such Th^ discrepancy between the theory a form of social and political order. and the practice of democracy, between their golden hopes and their leaden experience, v;as naturally disheartening. Despair replaced courage and in this new desperation they turned to a new leadership that promised them, not liberty, but security and above all glory. v;ere so Thus v/as the tv/entieth century brand of totalitarianism born. However base may have beun the motives and the machinations of these new leaders their promises and their principles, in order to win the support of the people, had to soar to the stars. It is a glorious thing that people may only be led by what they believe is fine. It is a pitiful thing that they are so often deluded. At first we wore contemptuous of this what we rightly believed was a regressive movement in the march towara full social justice. We alternately laughed and were anrioyed at the antics of lUussolini and Hitler and their imitators. Even France and England > their potential enemies, smugly discounted their bombast, refused to take seriously their military and economic preparations, and continued to employ themselves with the usual violence of political debate over what v;e now' realize wore matters of minor concern. The efficiency of the Blitzkrieg in the appalling conquest of one great independent state after another provides us v/ith adequate evidence that wishful thinking alone will not protect a people from the loss of their democratic forms of government. In the United States it is not sufficient to call ourselves the land of the free and the home of the brave. Our defense must be four fold - military, oconomic, intellectual and finally spiritual. The first tv/o are immediate to the repelling of our enemies. The last tv/o are basic and essential to the implementing of any defense \:ith consistency of ( -2- purpose and a total devotion born of faith in om^ fundamental principles. We must create a military defense consisting of ordnance, machines, ships, planes, men under arms and in reserve, so powerful as to be unequalled by any combination of force able to be assembled against it. To the vast majority of o\ir people this now seems obvious and the government is taking the necessary stops to create quickly such a defense organization. Behind this bulwark whose frovming front must give any enemy pause there must be a complete economic coordination of materials and services ready to be thrown into gear v/hen the alarm sounds. Never again should it be possible for the merchant to profit at the expense of the soldier. IVith these lamediate devices of defense we are all concerned. VJithout them we may fall victims of the ruthless, efficient and purposeful advance of the totalitarian ideology. But even with the most magnificent defense organization we shall fail if our people lose faith in American Democracy, fail to understand American Democracy, and refuse to practice American Democracy. Our forefathers had this faith and this understanding and they put American Democracy into practice. In the early days of our history the American way of life was tested again and again and not^ found v/anting. Protected by two groat oceans, a vast continent and weak or friendly neighbors to the south and north, v/e have prospered beyond our fondest dreams. For a time America was the haven of the oppressed and there came here the stout hearted peoples of many lands and tongues who v/ere fused into one substance in the great melting pot. Oul* frontier moved westv/ard until it merged with a similar movement from the west and there was no longer a frontier. Wealth increased. The population groxi. The industrial age brought new problems; labor j capital; unemployment; yet our democratic institutions held. They developed an unforeseen elasticity. The Constitution v/as amended. Successive Supreme Courts interpreted and re -interpreted its provisions. But its basic principles remained unchanged and virtually unchallenged. The instrument chiefly responsible for this remarkable consistency the public school. Free public education, a compound of piety, individualism and equality, it was early Irecognized as the principal biAwark against tyranriy and the first line of defense for democratic freedom. V/ith such support the public school has flourished like the bay ti^ee, achieving a dovelopinent in lands, buildings, equipment, teaching personnel and variety of curricula, both vertical and horizohtal, that is absolutely unparalleled at any time or place in the history of the world. Has this vast social institution justified itself? On the U'hole I believe it has but in the light of the success of the totalitarian ideology we should examine the sitilation v/ith care. ?/as Thomas Briggs says in a thought provoking article in "School and "The plain fact of the matter is that v/e Society" for January 27, 19A0: today do not take democracy seriously. The public at large does not know what its essential meaning is. They have shouted the slogan v/ithout an understanding of the principles of the ideal and the implications, in responsibilities as well as in its rights, to which it leads. Democracy has c i." : .. . . -3- been shouted as a justification of tho most hon-sensical, uncound and outrageous proposals; it has been approved and proclaimed - and its applications neglected; it has been mouthed so much by demagogues and by ignoramuses that at tilnes we have become sick of the \/ord. But hovortheluss it is the foundation of all that we hold highest and most sacred. It stands for an ideal that is the hope of tho world. It is a beacon that lights the road to political, social, economic and industrial progress." To what extent are the schools responsible for the situfition described by Dr. Driggs? Unchallenged, safe and even envied v/e have unwittingly alloT;ed our vigilance to relax. We have regarded tolerantly subversive movements vdthin our social structure. Recognizing tho hygienic value of sound criticism v/e have failed to differentiate between honest difference of opinion and the subtle propoganda of an alien philosophy. Ordinarily the good sense of the \7hole people, free to form opinions without fear, is adequate to keep the ship of state on an even keel. Now, hov;ever, in a time of storm, the people are bewildered and frightened. Are they equipped -./ith a full appreciation of the significance of American Democracy? Quoting Briggs again: "Democracy cannot wage a v/inning fight unless its people not only understand what it means but also have for it a passionate devotion. If democracy is to pre"9ail, it must grip its people, tho mature and especially the young, with the power of a religion." As Thomas PAann has written, "democracy should use this wholly unexpected situation - the fact, namely, that it has again become problematical - to renew and rejuvenate itself by again becoming aware of itself," The members of this Board are in a peculiarly responsible and strategic position as the heads of institutions charged with the duty of educating teachers for the public schools of this great Commonwealth. Are we discharging this responsibility vdth the intelligence, the vision, the courage and the immediateness that the occasion demands? It is to this question that I urge the earnest consideration of this Board, We must teach democracy in our schools by sending out teachers who understand democracy; who practice democracy; and who above all else have faith in democracy. The best understanding of democracy is to be found in the history of the United States of America, interpreted not with cynicism and defeatism but with vision and optimism. Too often our social st\idies teachers emphasize our weaknesses, our inconsistencies, our failures and belittle our achievements. Too seldom do they return to the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the constructive Court decisions, the inspired utterances of our great national leaders. More frequently do they emphasize the hasty conclusions of present day v/riters who have not yet proved their claim to wisdom. But it is one thing to talk democracy and another to practice it. Teachers who terrorize their pupils; principals who tyrannize over their teachers; superintendents vho take advantage of their high position to silence all opinion but their own, are poor examples of democracy in action, if democracy is, as Thomas Mann says, that form of government or of society which placet; tlu, dignity of the individur.l ::bove overy other consideration. To rotipcct the dignity of the individual dots not necofs^arily mean to respect everything thr-.t he fiayn and does, but it does mean despite his stupidities, hit' follies, his insufficiencies, to roco.'^ise his essential dicnity and his possibilities of grov/t>i to a v/orthy stature. Finally our teichcrs must have faith in democracy; a pai;sionat£ burning devotion v;hich ^.ill make any sacrifice a privilege if it will advance the cause of democracy. Teachers of such a faith and uith euch devotion cannot fail to inspire their pupils v.ith a courage of conviction that will implement any program of defense \;ith invincibility.

Fees for Students Entering Military Service Doctor Ade, Chairman of the Comndttee, stated that it was the belief of the Committee that no action need be taken on this matter at this time. He stated that the question of how much credit would be allowed such students as were inducted into the militJiiy servi.ce should be determined before the matter of fees was fixed. Questions were raised relative to the place of student registration on October 16 and whether such registration would be credited in the locality in which tho institution is domiciled or credited in the student's legal residence. The Chairman of the Board stated that he would take up the two matters with Doctor William L/Iather Lewis, Director, Selective Service Headquarters for Pennsylvania, and advise the members of the Board. The Chairman of the Board suggested that it might be good public policy for the Presidents to devote a period of Chapel before October 16 and have some member of the Social Studies Department outline the purpose of the Selective Service Act and briefly what it requires The meeting adjourned at 2:00 P.

GENERAL DISCUSSION f « MEETING OF THE DEANS OF INSTRUCTION OF THE STATE TEACHERS COLLEGES Wednesday, July 24, 1940 The meeting of the Deans of Instruction of the State Teachers Colleges vas held in Room 317, Education Building, Wednesday, July 24, 1940. The meeting was called to order at 9:30 A.M., Daylight Saving Time with the following members present: Mr. Mr. Mr. Dr. Mr. Dr. H. A. Andruss W. McKinley Menchan Charles F, Becker C. J. Naegle H. L. Offner M. J. Walsh Dr. Clark R. McClelland Dr. A. T. Belknap Mr. Homer F. Dilworth Dr. Earl Wright Dr. Cornelius Jaarsma Mr. Winfield Mtjnhennett Bioomsburg Cheyney Clarion East Stroudsburg Edinboro Indiana Kutztown Mansfield Millersville Shippensburg Slippery Rock West Chester Dr. Harr^ L. Kriner, Assistant Director, Teacher Education and Certification Dr. Henry Klonower, Director, Teacher Education and Certification Dr. Henry Klonower, Director of Teacher Education and Certification, opened the meeting with a few introductory remarks. He discussed the plan that contemplated the extension of the employment period for deans to a fifty-two weeks basis with adjustment of salary for the longer period of time. Dr. Harry L, Kriner, Assistant Director of Teacher Education and Certification, then took charge as Shairman of the meeting. He expressed his appreciation of the cooperation on the part of the Deans during the past year, both in guiding the students at the College and in the transactions with the Teacher Education and Certification Office. The questions on the Docket were then discussed as follows: A. CERTIFICATION 1. What is the difference between graduation requirements and certification requirements? Bulletin 154 deals with certification standards. Bulletin 153 ( 1 s . and the minutes of the meetings of the Board of Presidents give graduation standards. It was suggested that it would be helpful for each Dean to review the Board of Presidents minutes to secure changes in graduation standards. Graduation standards are of prime importance, then certification standards usually vdll be met. However, guidance in electives for certification purposes is important. The group agreed with Dean Andruss that in general, graduation requirements were in excess of certification requirements In a discussion relative to the amount of work which a student should complete at a Teachers College when credentials were presented from other institutions to be used for certification purposes, the members agreed that one semester' s work should be the minimum, and that the competency should be tested before the work should be certified to by the institution. Seven of the Deans designated that they were requiring at least one semester' work before they would sign any statement certifying to the work completed at an institution not approved for certification purposes. 2. May a student graduate in the elementary curriculiim and secure certification for both the elementary and secondary fields? Also graduates of the secondary curriculum? A student graduating in the secondary curriculum may secure certification in the elementary field by completing thirty semester hours of elementary education in addition to meeting the standards for graduation from the secondary curriculum. One graduating in the elementary curriculum may secure secondary certification by completing six semester hours of professional work in secondary education and six semester hours in secondary student teaching. It was suggested that the Deans encourage more students to complete the elementary curriculum. In order to get elementary and secondary certification, a student should have the equivalent of five years of work if they are not teachers in service. Even though electives may permit, it was pointed out that students should be advised to spend the full four years on the preparation for one field only. It was the concensus of opinion that students in the secondarycurriculum vrfio take Teaching of Arithmetic, Reading, etc. as electives are Deans should guide the not really completing the secondary curriculuraj: students in the selection of their electives in keeping with the curriculum which they are completing. 3. How may holders of a college certificate valid in a special field extend the certificate to the elementary field? To the secondary field? It was shown that in the special fields, there are not as many chances for electives as in either the elementary or secondary fields. Three credits in any special curriculum may be accepted toward extending a college certificate valid in the special field toward the inclusion of the elementary field. In extending a certificate valid in a special field to include a secondary field, the student teaching may be in either the special field or - 2 - I 0 in an academic field according to the judgment of the Dean, but in all instances with students of the secondary school. Mimeographed regulations in regard to all types of certification standards were distributed and the members studied these in connection with the question under consideration. 4. What is the difference between a college certificate valid "to teach" a special field such as art and one "to teach and supervise" a spcial field? How must the certificate read to permit the holder to teach any special subject in thu elementary field? Samples of various teaching certificates were distributed and the designations explained by Doctor Kriner, In order to teach a special subject such as art in the elementary field, the person should either hold an elementary certificate or a secondary certificate with "to teach and supervise in any public school" on its face. If the certificate is valid for the secondary field and a special subject such as art is included, the teaching of art may not be done in the elementary school. 5. How may the Dean of Instruction evaluate work from another institution toward meeting the thirty semester hour standard for extending a college certificate to include the elementary field? A special field? The Dean of Instruction is unable to evaluate work from another institution unless the student actually enrolls in the institution in which the evaluation is to be made. The evaluation may not be made in an institution not approved for the work to be evaluated. Discussion on ways and means of determining the value of the transferred work was general. B. CURRICULUI^ 1. What should be the guiding principles in making a substitution for a required course? What is the difference between the substitution of a course and using a course in lieu of a course? In making a substitution for a required course, it w^as pointed out that the course should have similar content; that is, a course substituted for Advanced Composition should be in English with similar emphasis usually given to Advanced Composition regardless of the title. A course in Physical Science should not be substituted for an English course. If a teacher in service needs a certain course to graduate in the present curriculum and has had evaluations made under former curriculums, it is advisable to use a course in lieu of another course, but not substituted for the course needed by the student. For example, the former curriculums required Advanced Composition but did not require twelve semester hours of science. To avert a hardship of continually increasing the amount of work - 3 - . . to be completed by the student and to avert the absurdity of saying the content of science and English are similar, it is wise to say that change in curriculums makes it necessary to use English in lieu of the newly required science courses. There should be no need for "substitution" or to use a course "in lieu of" for the regularly enrolled students. Transfer students may need the substitutions and teachers in service with former evaluations may need both. 2. Should there be secondary school prerequisites for specialization in subject fields, or fields of concentration? Eight of the Deans indicated that they have set up prerequisites, but they are not printed as under the old curriculums, and each case is determined on its merits and degree of competency. The new curriculums do not mention prerequisites. Acting Dean Offner suggested that there should be a competency test for music for elementary teachers. It was agreed that there are fields where some background certainly should be required. The feeling among the Deans was not unanimous regarding prerequisites. 3. Should we set up standards and regulations for accepting credit for courses from other institutions? Doctor Kriner read pages 13^0 and 1351 of the Minutes of the Meetings of the Board of Presidents vdth regard to this question. agreed that "Honorable Dismissal" should be on each transcript before it may be evaluated in the State Teachers Colleges in Pennsylvania. Schools should accept only courses in which grades are one step above the passing mark of the institution where completed. It vira,s Adjourned at 12:30 for lunch Reconvened at 2:00 o'clock C . ELECTIVES 1. What is a free elective? Dean Jaarsma stated that his impression of a free elective is a course which is taken but not definitely placed in the curriculum as a core course It v/as suggested that the responsibility in regard to the choice of electives should be placed on the guidance official. The new curriculums use the tera "electives" instead of "free electives". Dean McClelland said his idea was that there were no strings to a free elective and students could select any courses they wished as free electives. It was the general consensus of opinion that the word "free" should be dropped in all the curriculum materials - ^ - 2. W^at shall be included in the electives for students taking the elementary curriculum? Doctor Kriner referred the group to the electives for students taking the elementary curriculum as described on page thirteen of Bulletin 153; to the Minutes of the Board of Presidents Meeting for January 15, 1937, page 1129 and for July 8, 1938, page 1264; also to the report of the Curriculum Committee of the Board of Presidents, July 19, 19A0. 3. May a student in completing the elementary curriculum use speech, library, or special education for the seventeen semester hours of electives? Of what value to the holder of the certificate if the electives have been used in the field of speech or library? It was noted that these are included in the suggested electives in Bulletin 153 for the elementary field. Reference vvas also made to page 1099 in the Journal of the Meetings of the Board of Presidents. However, electives shall be selected in accordance v/ith the field of service for i^vhich the prospective teacher is preparing. There appears to be a contradiction between the action taken relative to speech, special education, and library for electives in the elementary field and the requirement of specialization in either kindergarten-primary, intermediate, or rural. 4. Should electives in the secondary field be used for extensive or intensive study? Toward many fields on a superficial basis or toward excellent preparation in tv^o fields? Electives in the secondary field should be used for intensive study toward excellent preparation in tv;o fields. The group felt that the purpose of the v/hole program of specialization and proper teacher preparation was hindered and defeated by attempting to use electives in a curriculum for meeting certification standards as being met by another teacher education curric\ilum. When leaders in education are stressing the importance of a five year teacher education program for secondary school teachers, it appears unwise to use professional courses in elementary education as part of the secondary program of preparation. 5. ?\'here shall the free electives in Civil Aeronautics be used? The free electives in Civil Aeronautics may be used just where the Deans feel it fits best. It could not be used as one of the core subjects nor as one of the subjects prescribed for the elective fields. D. INSTRUCTION 1. are the most effective ways for a Dean to improve the instruction on the college level? 7/hat The follovdng is a condensed list of suggestions for improving - 5 - instruction on the college level given by the Deans as each cne upon to discuss this important topic: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9« 10. 11. 12. vvas called Construct syllabi for the different teachers through subject group conference. Conference with teachers. Arrange program so that class sizes will be distributed in such a way that teachers may do their work efficiently. Test analysis. Eliminate busy work from teachers so that they may devote their entire time to teaching. Let teachers know what students think of their work. Visit the public schools and see the schools in action. Tabulate complaints concerning instructors. Practicum. Class visitation. Faculty meetings. Inter-college visitation. 2. How are the selective admission tests to be given and used? The plan for using tests as given in July and September to all freshman students to help in classification and to help in eliminating those students who should not be there was explained. The difference between admission tests and classification tests was emphasized. The importance of getting the results of the tests in the hand of the testing committee was stressed, 3. How may students of low academic standing be eliminated? Doctor Kriner read page 1276 of the minutes of the meetings of the Board of Presidents regarding the selection and elimination of students in the State Teachers Colleges, General discussion followed. What can be done to improve our Biglish instruction? This topic comes up every year. Recommendations have been made. It was suggested that students who are preparing to be certificated in English should be given a good substantial background and that the Dean should give the guidance necessary for sufficient work. 5. Which science courses should be recommended for a student who after taking the required twelve semester hours of biological and physical science decides to use science as an elective? Dean V/right suggested that the biological science and physical science survey courses should not be used toward the twenty-four semester hours required for graduation in science. At least the general science courses, if taught in a general way, could not be considered as meeting the Botany, Zoology, Physics, and Chemistry requirement set up for certification purposes. It was suggested that in view of the fact that there is now two years of science required, twelve semester hours in integrated courses in biological science and physical science should be offered. There is need for the general integrated courses for elementary teachers and possibly it is very valuable to secondary teachers. This appears to be a matter for local jurisdiction although it is essential for certification requirements to be met v/here a student wishes to teach science. 6. Should student teaching be required in both fields of concentration for the students of the secondary curriculum? Thirteen of the Deans reported that their College requires students 'of the secondary curriculum to complete student teaching in both fields of concentration. The sentiment appeared to favor student teaching in the special field when adding it to a secondary certificate. 7. What is being done with the "curriculums materials" course? Because this ms discussed fully last year and because of the late hour, the group did not wish to open the topic. 8. Is the requirement of twelve semester hours of science too much? Former discussion covered this topic. 9. Should all prospective teachers be required to take courses in government, economics, and sociology? Doctor Kriner read page 1290 of the Minutes of the Meetings of the Board of Presidents in regard to this question. It was noted that courses in government, economics, and sociology v;ere formerly compulsory for graduation for those v;ho ?dshed to use social studies as an elective field. While the change in "required electives" to "recommended electives" changed the status for graduation, the three courses are still required for certification in the field. It v/as pointed out that the three subjects should be emphasized for all types of teachers, especially with our present world conditions. Dean Andruss stated that he was in favor of cteleting History of Civilization from the requirements for graduation or else increase it to six semester hours. The group as a whole felt the importance of a better social background for all teachers, 10. Should Industrial Arts students be permitted to concentrate in other fields in addition to science or mathematics, especially if such appears wise to the Dean of Instruction? It was felt that the two colleges concerned should decide this issue. - 7 - . , E. SCHEDULES Because of the late hour, Doctor Kriner asked the members of the group which questions they should like to discuss under this heading. The group wished to discuss: 6. What constitutes a normal semester hour load for a student during the regular college semester? In Saturday and evening classes? In summer sessions? May this vary? Sixteen semester hours per semester is the average load set up by the Curriculum Committee. Teachers in service may take normally six semester hours per semester either by extension or in Saturday and evening classes. Of course, teachers not in service might take more. The normal load for summer sessions is a credit per week of attendance. Seven semester hours may be carried during the six weeks period by special permission and pre-approval If the work is for graduation purposes, the approval is obtained from the President of the College, and if for certification purposes, from the Department of public Instruction. At this time, Doctor Haas came into the meeting and entered the discussion. He stated that it was his lander standing that the president of an institution is authorized to permit any undergraduate to take seven semester hours of work during a six weeks summer session without reference to the Department of Public Instruction. However, if it is a teacher in service TA^o is applying for a certificate, then that student must secure permission from the Department to take seven semester hours. The State Teachers College is primarily the judge of the credentials of its own students. The State Council of Education is primarily the judge of the credentials for teaching. Students who are applying for a State certificate come under the direct responsibility of the State regulations. Students working for their diplomas come under the regulations set up by the Board of Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges. Dean Jaarsma raised the question of a student taking four semester hours of work at one college and three at another during the summer session. They expect to get credit for the three taken outside the college for a total of seven without special permission.

Statutory Requirements I. Section 3903, School Laws of Pennsylvania. "That in all public and private schools located within the Commonwealth, commencing mth the school year next ensuing after the passage of this act, there shall be given regular courses of instruction in the Constitution of the United States. Such instruction in the Constitution of the United States shall begin not later than the opening of the eighth grade, and shall continue in the high school course, and in courses in the State colleges and State universities, and the educational departments of State and municipal institutions, to an extent to be determined by the Superintendent of Public Instruction." A. The follovvTing curriculums now require a three semester hour course in American Government. 1. 2. 3. 5. 6. B. Elementary Secondary Commerce Health Education Industrial Arts Library Thu follovdng curriculums do not provide for instruction in the constitution as required in Section 3903. 1. 2. 3. 4. Art Home Economics Music Cooperative Education C. The Committee recommends that effective with the beginning all of the second semester of the current year 1940-19 carriculunis shall require a three semester liour course in American Goverament . The Committee has already requested the colleges concerned to submit to the Committee the changes recommended to effect the inclusion of this course. The Committee further suggests that Deans of Instruction in colleges offering Art, Home Economics, Music, and/or Cooperative Education be authorized, subject to the approval of their respective Presidents, to permit for the second semester the substitution of American Government for any course now included in the curriculum, but not nov/ required for certification, so that so far as possible, all persons graduating in 19A-1 shall have had a course in Am.erican Government. The Committee further recommends that the course description for American Government shall clearly show that the Constitution of the United States is included as a subject of study in this course and suggests the following statement: American Government (3) Three semester hours credit basic principles of American Government; the Constitution of the United States, the machinery through which it is implemented; and the consideration of some major governmental issues. Tlie II. Section I607, School Laws of Pennsylvania. "In every elementary public and private school, established and maintained in this Commonwealth, the following subjects shall be taught, in the; English language and from English texts; English, including spelling, reading, and writing, arithmetic, geography, the history of the United States and of Pennsylvania, civics, including loyalty to the State and National Government, safety education, and the humane trc;atment of birds and animals, health, including physical training and physiology, music, and art. Other subjects shall be taught in the public elementary schools and also in the public high schools as may be designated or approved by the State Board of Education. All such subjects, except foreign languages, shall be taught in the English language and from English texts. Each school district in this Commonwealth shall provide and distribute to each pupil, enrolled in the eighth grade of the public schools, one illustrated copy of the National Flag Code, and shall, from time to time, make available such copies as are necessary for replacements from year to year, and it shall be the duty of each teacher in the public schools to make use of the said code as may, from time to time, seem proper." A. To provide more adequate preparation for the teaching of the "history of the United States and Pennsylvania," the Committee recommends that a course in the history of Pennsylvania, two semester hours credit, be required in the elementary curriculum. -1475- . B. The Committee recommends that the courses in Health Education in the elementary curriculum be reviewed and course descriptions revised so as to include all mandatory health subjects enumerated in Section 160? G. The Committee calls special attention to the last sentence in the above quoted section and suggests that each president see that the provisions of this sentence are carried out in the laboratory school.

Upon motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Rohrbach, it was voted that the report of the Committee be adopted, subject to such changes as might be agreed upon by Doctor Tanger and Doctor Steele as representing the two State Teachers Colleges offering this special curriculum. It was understood that a different statement as to the agreement of any adjustment agreed upon should be made to the Board at the next meeting. O r-<- 3 c so ? CD CO O Art and Music Curriculums 5CD o; b. -a D ^o H °- c Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular and Credentials Committee, presented the following report: "REPORT OF THE CURRICULAR AND CREDENTIALS January 17, RE: COMI^/IITTEE 19U No-Credit Courses in Art and Music The Committee has several times discussed the present status of instruction in art and music in the elementary schools. On one occasion there was presented to the Board of Presidents a study which showed that approximately fifty percent of the students admitted to the Teachers Colleges have had little or no instruction in art and music. Subsequent inquiries by different colleges have varified the report. The condition continues to exist in spite of the fact that art and music are included among the subjects required by law to be taught in the public elementary schools The Committee believes that the chief factor for the solution of this problem lies in providing teachers competent to teach art and music. In the curriculum for the education of elementary teachers in art and music, three courses similar in title, purpose, and credit are offered: Art Appreciation of Art 3 Art I Art II 4 3 2 2 2 Music Appreciation of Music Music I Music II 3 10 10 -1496- 2 2 .32 4 I In art the purpose of the first course is to see art, understand art, and learn to appreciate art. In music it is to hear good music, understand music, and learn to appreciate it. The first course in each field aims to extend and enrich personal experience. Its objectives are appreciation and enjoyment. It is cultural, not professional. On the other hand, Art I and Art II, Music I and Music II are professional courses. Music I and II are designed to develop competence to teach music in the elementary school. Corresponding courses in art seek similar competence in teaching art as a subject, separate or integrated with other subjects of the elementary curriculum, Viihen, however, students must be assigned to a professional course dealing with fundamental skills and knowledge which they do not possess, it is not reasonable to expect competence to teach as an outcome. Under present conditions, many teachers enter service in the elementary schools not prepared to teach art and music. In many schools these subjects are not taught. Pupils from such schools later on enter teacher education institutions and the process is repeated. In order to improve this condition the Committee desires to make four recommendations: 1. The Comjnittoe urgently'' recommends that admission to the professional courses in art and music Art I and Art II, Music I and Music II be restricted to those students enrolled in the elementary curriculum who have, in written and oral examinations, demonstrated a sufficient mastery of the knowledge and skills necessary to enable them to pursue these professional courses with profit. 2. It is recommended that courses in art and music carrying no college credit be arranged for students enrolling in the elementary curriculum who are unable to meet the standard set for admission to the — — professional courses in art and music. 3. The Committee recommends that the State Superintendent of Public Instruction be requested to appoint a committee of three instructors in art and a committee of three instructors in music to v\fork with the Chief of Art ijducation and the Chief of Music Education respectively in setting up a reasonable standard of competence in these two subjects and in developing a form of examination which so far as possible shall bu objective and of such a nature that it can be readily and uniformly administered in all fourteen colleges. It is believed by the Committee that if this recommendation be approved the reports of these committees would serve admirably as the basis for a conference of the instructors in art and music at some time during the second semester of the current year. In conclusion, the Committee recommends that the first and second recommendations of this report become effective September 1, 1941. Respectfully submitted, LeRoy A. King Q. A. W. Rohrbach Albert L.

Doctor Steele stated that in order to provide for catalogues which may be issued before the next meeting of the Board, the Curriculum Committee requests the authority from the Board to review and make the necessary adjustments in the music, home economics, and health education curriculums with the approval of the institutions concerned. When such agreements have been reached in regard to these special curriculioms, the Board was asked to authorize the publication of the adjusted curriculums in new catalogues issued during the current year. It was understood that a report of each curriculum v\fould be presented at the next meeting of the Board, B.

Report of a Special Conference on the Civil Aeronautics Administration Pilot Training Program Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Special Committee, presented the following report: "RSPORT OF A SPECIAL CONFSRSNCS ON TKZ CIVIL AERONAUTICS ADMINISTRATION PILOT TRAINING PROGRAl.'! January 17, 19U A conference was called by Doctor Klonower to consider problems arising out of the conduct of the pilot training program of the C. A. A. Present were John G. Flowers, representing Lock Haven; Harvey A. Andruss, Bloomsburg; Albert Lindsay Rowland, Shippensburg; LeRoy A. King, Indiana; and Robert M. Steele, California. Henry Klonower represented the Department of Public Instruction. training The procedure for securing approval for offering courses in pilot reviev;ed. This procedure involves the following steps: v«/as 1. The approval of the college by the Superintendent of Public Instruction. 2. The approval of the college by the C. A. A. which involves the approval of instructors for ground training courses, of an airport close enough and with adequate facilities, and of a contractor qualified to conduct flight training, 3. The execution of contracts with the C. A. A. covering the number of trainees and the payments due from the Federal Government for the vvork. Discussion of handling receipts and expenditures followed. It was pointed out that regulations of the Fiscal Code cover receipts and expenditures exactly as they cover receipts from fees or miscellaneous revenue. In all cases receipts must be transmitted through the Department of Revenue to the State Treasurer and all expenditures must be made on requisition from the General Fund. It was agreed that the cost to the college of offering the pilot training program should not exceed the total receipts from tuition paid for this course and from the Federal Government for such instruction. In accordance vdth the expressed approval of the C. A. A. pilot training program by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, no college undertaking this work was to make claim for any additional allotment from the appropriation for the maintenance and operation of the teachers colleges. It was agreed, however, that expenditures might be made for equipment, traveling, reference material, technical service, etc., necessary in carrying on the vrork, The total expenditure for such items and for costs of instruction must not exceed the total receipts from tuitions paid for the course and from the Federal Government It was further agreed because of the technical nature of some units of the ground instruction course that technical service, advice, and -1503- I assistance, in addition to that available on regular college staffs, might be needed. Therefore, tiie following recommendations were made to the Superintendent of Public Instruction: 1. That technical service, advice, or other assistance needed in the conduct of the ground instruction in the C. A. A. Pilot training Program beyond that available at the college may be secured provided approval of the employment of such individual or individuals or the purchase of such service has been obtained in advance from the Superintendent of Public Instruction. 2. That the total expenditure per student enrolled in the C. A. h. Pilot Training course for technical service, advice, or other assistance so employed shall not exceed seventy-five (75) pei' centum of the amount paid by the Federal Government for Ground School Instruction per student. 3. That the rates of compensation shall not exceed rates of compensation paid bv the Federal Government for similar service. Respectfully submitted. L. H. Van Houten Q. A. Vi'. Rohrbach /ilbert L.

Pursuant to this action and at the suggestion of the Chairman, a conference was held in Harrisburg by President Ade, Chairman of the Fees Committee, Doctor Klonower and President Rowland. At this conference it was the consensus of opinion that there was no essential conflict but that the motion as passed by the Board could be advantageously sim.plified. I vjould therefore, move that the action previously taken by the Board of Presidents and appearing in the minutes on pages 1483 and 1484 be and is hereby rescinded and that the following resolution be passed in lieu thereof: ) V/HEREAS the number of men students is so large as to make the duties incident to the office of dean of men comparable to those of the office of dean of women, and WHEREAS the provisions nov; existing, permitting additions to salaries of certain administrative officers up to a maximum of |500 and appearing in special regulations Nos. 7 and 8, are variously expressed BE IT RESOLVED: That special regulations 7 and 8 be deleted and the following regulation substituted for No. 7: "Additional increments in salary up to a maximum of $500 may be paid to the following administrative officers: Deans of Instruction, Directors of Student Teaching, Directors of duly authorized special curricula, -1506- • •- N • . . • •-.;-.f .A;;isi-'Kr?; :t,- ; Deans of Men, Deans of I'-omen; and That the subsequent regulations BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: Nos. 9-14 inclusive be renumbered 8-13 inclusive. On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Rohrbach, it was voted that the changes be adopted. The entire matter was then referred to the Chairman of the Board for further consideration, C. Memberships in Organization s Doctor Klonovrer, Secretary of the Board, stated that in view of certain difficulties v;hich have been incurred by the Institutions in submitting requests for m.emberships in organizations, it would be helpful to have the letter stating the exact procedure to be followed incorporated in the Minutes.

On the basis of this information, a report will be prepared by the Commiittee for the purpose of clarifying the present regulations. This report will be presented to the Board at a later date. In this way the sum total of all thinking will be incorporated into a definite program. Doctor Flowers also stated that the final responsibility in determining questions concerning athletics should rest with the President of the Institution. Questions raised by coaches should be referred to the President of the Institution and not to the Athletic Committee for consideration. Letters will be sent by the Athletic Committee to the several Presidents requesting information which will be presented to the Board in complete form at a later date. C.

Ackley, Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction appeared before the Board and presented a brief resume of certain important bills that specifically referred to the State Teachers Colleges. This report follow?. LEGISLATm: PROPOSALS REGARDING TEACHERS COLLEGES in the House of Representatives three of the Teachers Colleges. program the regarding bills are pending It was pointed out that House Rill No. 453, sponsored by Representative Auker, would require the Superintendent of Public Instruction, within one month after the effective date of the act, to designate two Teachers Colleges, one in the eastern and one in the western portion of the state, to be ready for conversion into schools for higher vocational training for students desiring to become skilled workers and artisans in the various vocational trades. Under the terms of this bill it would also beccrre the duty of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to presribe details of a two-year course fcr four year high school graduates; a three-year course for those who have haJ three years of high scliool v^'ork; and a four-year course for those who have had two years of high school work, these courses to be planned with no discrimination as to race, creed, or color of the pupils taking the courses, Within fifteen days after designation of the two schools to be so converted^ the Superintendent would send a written notice to all present students, advising those who do not wish to take the vocational courses to transfer to other Teachers Colleges. The bill would carry an appropriation of $50,000 for purchase of equipment, tools, machines, and instruments for the different purposes for each college converted. House Bill No. 460, sponsored by Representative Holland, vould require a conversion of all the Teachers Colleges to "Pennsylvania State Trade School Defense Training Centers" for the training of young men eighteen years of age and older after passing a physical examination under the direction of the State Board for Vocational Education. It would be a primary purpose of these institutions to train individuals for the production of munitions, machinery, instruments, and supplies needed for defense. The instruction would be on a non-tuition basis in cooperation with WPA and NYA agencies, the State Board for Vocational Education to have power to prescribe rules and regulations governing admission to these schools and to determine the standards for certificates to teach in advanced technical and trade schools; also to establish a curriculum of related practical and technical subjects. The Department of Public Instruction would have general supervision over all these institutions. All the State Teachers Colleges would continue as at present until the Department of Public Instruction,* vlth the approval of the Governor, takes them over for the new purpose. The Department of Public Instruction would determine xvhich institutions are best suited to immediate conversion and would report this determination to the Governor before the first day of July, 1941, at which time not less than six of the institutions would be immediately converted. Thereafter, additional institutions would be converted from time to time until all would have been converted to the new purpose not later than the first of September, 1942. The Department -1512- of Property and Supplies vrould arrange the necessary changes in buildings and equipment. The Boards of Trustees would continue to function as at pre-isent. House Bill No. 772, sponsored by Representative V/olf would make an appropriation of $100,000 to enable the Teachers Colleges of the Commonv/ealth to instruct students in agricultural needs and problems, "particularly on the subjects of soil con-r servation, erosion, control, reforestation, rural social problems, and rural electrification needs," The Superintendent of Public Instruction would be charged with the responsibility of formulating the program for these activities in order that the program would become operative not later than the first day of September, 1941.
