Reading and consideration of the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Presidents held in Harrisburg Friday, May 16, 1941. , On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Ade, It was voted that the minutes of the meeting held May 16, 1941 be approved as submitted. II. Unfinished Business A. Report of the Curricular and Credentials Committee Doctoj? Steele, Chairman of the Curricular and Credentials Committee, reported that the ComiTiittee is continuing work on the two most important items to be completed before the beginning of the terms in the fall. The first of these is the schedule for the non-credit courses in art and music for the purpose of providing special classes for those entrants into the State Teachers Colleges who have had no work in art and music. Doctor Steele stressed the fact that these tests were placement tests and in no sense to be considered entrance examinations. The second item to v-hich the Committee is giving attention are Doctor Steele the Minutes of the Meeting of the Deans of Instruction. stated that the Committee will study the Minutes and make a report on them at the next meeting of the Board. Doctor Steele stated that there are no curriculum revisions or adjustments for the fall term. Certain minor changes have been worked out in the special curriculums, B, Memberships in Educational Organizations The Board discussed the matter of memberships in organizations in the light of a memorandum which the chairman had sent to Doctor Logan, Budget Secretary, from which the following is quoted: "Inasmuch as this situation has been 'hanging fire' for so long and inasmuch as I understand that practically all of these subscriptions are overdue, would it not be possible to approve the attached with the understanding that at the next meeting of the board this matter wdll again be revie^ied and a recommendation be prepared in line with your thought." Since this memorandum implied an obligation on the part of the Board to review the situation, it was felt that some definite solution should be worked out to facilitate the approval of future memberships. It was pointed out that although strict uniformity of memberships was not advisable, certain core memberships to which all institutions could profitably belong could be worked out, thus cutting down, the list to be sent to the Governor's office. On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Andruss, it was voted that the matter be referred to the Committee with the request that the list be prepared in line with the Governor's memorandum. It v^as also agreed that each institution send to Doctor Klonower an extensive list of memberships in preferential order, differentiating, if possible, between subscriptions and memberships, C, Meeting of Deans The Board of Presidents discussed the report of the Minutes of the Meeting of the Deans of Instruction held in Harrisburg July 11, 1941. Such parts of the report as seem.ed deserving of consideration v-ere referred to appropriate committees of the Board. Doctor Steele pointed out that there had been no revision of the secondary curriculum. He stated that one or tv^o changes had been made to -1523- meet the requirements of the law or the certification standards. The Committee made adjustments rather than revisions so that the curriculums could go into effect in September. The Testing Pro^^ram was discussed and the necessity of uniformity in time, administration, scoring, et cetera, was stressed. Wednesday, October 15, 1941, was suggested as the date for the meeting of those representatives of each institution charged with the administration of the tests with the members of the Testing Committee. The members of the Board agreed to check on this specific date and advise Doctor Flowers as to whether it is satisfactory. Further reports on the Deans' Meeting will be presented to the Board of Presidents at the next meeting, III. New Business A. The QuaT^'^'-ex. Zi.^ Place of the Semester Plan The Boa.?-3. considered this item but believes that at the present tine th^ro hafi been no demonstrated need for the quarter plan. Although some twelve or thirteen colleges have taken this step, the idea has no impli editions for the State Teachers Colleges, If, in the future, the need for the quarter plan arises, the matter can be discussed again, ^« E xpansio n, of Curriculum Offerings The matter of the expansion of curriculum offerings was discussed by the Board in the light of Senate Bill 598. This Bill in its final form provides that State Teachers Colleges m.ay cooperate with the several governm.ental agencies and enter into leases with the government or governmental agencies for four years. The State Teachers Colleges are limited to teacher education and cooperative activities in national defense. It was further pointed out that each activity must be approved by the State Council of Education. C. Report of the Budget Committee Doctor Noonan, Chairman of the Budget Committee, presented the following report: "REPORT OF THE BUDGET COMITTEE July 18, 1941 1, After carefully reviewing the recent proposal for the establishment of an additional level of the Salary Schedule by the inclusion of Graduate Assistants as m.embers of the instructional staff, the Committee unanimously concluded that the creation of such a classification would be unadvisable at this time. -1524- 2, The readjustment of the salaries of Deans of Instruction, a problem which has developed by reason of such administrative officers being urgently needed for a period of tT^-elve months So each year, is regarded vith much favor by the Committee. many difficulties, however, have arisen in connection with such The a proposed arrangement that further study is essential. Commiittee, therefore, asks the advice and suggestions of the Board, and presents, as a basis for discussion, a communication referred to it by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, 3, A complete analysis of the budgetary situation which confronts all the teachers colleges has been made by the Committee with figures The Superintendent has comipiled in the Superintendent's office. been so thorough in his thinking and so completely cooperative in his compilation of the basic data that the Comm.ittee has asked him. to present a full picture of the administrative policies v;hich will control the financial set-up during the ensuing biennium," Respectfully submitted Joseph F. Noonan, Chairm.an Leslie Pinckney Hill LeRoy A, King Lester K, Ade Landis Tanger Charles S# Swope The Board of Presidents acted on each of these three item.s separately. On motion of Doctor Tanger, seconded by Doctor King, it was voted that the recommendation in item one be approved. After considerable discussion on the matter of the readjustment of the salaries of Deans of Instruction, it was m.oved by Doctor Rohrbach and seconded by Doctor riov;ers that the item be given further study by the Committee. The Board voted that this motion be passed. As stated in item three the Chairman of the Board submitted to each member of the Board the form of letter v/hich was to be subsequently sent to each President indicating the amount of allocation and other suggestions with reference to the development of the total allocation. The Chairm.an also submitted to each President a list of projects representing fire and health hazards, alterations, and other construction projects. These projects were merely suggestive of the type of vrork that appeared to need imm.ediate attention during the next year. He specifically stated that the Presidents should consider them in the light of relative values in the preparation of the budget. -1525- I I I i I The Chairman asked that each President submit an estimate of the total cost of such projects and the amount each institution thinks it can contribute. He stated that each President vras himself responsible for the proper distribution of funds for his institution, During the meeting an official photograph of the Board of Presidents was taken.

The group agreed v.lth Dean Jaarsma in stating that new courses such as Early Childhood Education should not be scheduled when a course or courses of similar material had been completed such as Pre-School Some felt that difficulty might arise when students now out for Child. a few years return to finish a curriculum, if the change was made too abruptly. The group was reminded of the discussion last year concerning the substitution of one course for another when similar content was found. When a curriculum is revised it is often impossible to substitute one course for another because of different content material, and in such instances, one course is used "in lieu" of a new course. "In lieu of" is used to take care of a college's ovm students v;hen a change in curriculum It v;as Is made, but not in evaluating credits from other institutions. suggested that the colleges bring their catalogues in accord with the recent revisions as quickly as possible. It was understood by members of the group that the new curriculums shall be put into effect just as rapidly as possible in each institution and that students should not be made to suffer loss of credits in the transition. Doctor Kriner stated that the Department v:ill follow the new curriculums and suggested that when courses are submitted under the old curriculums, a note to that effect attached to the transcript will be helpful. Each Dean explained the method of conducting the course in Curriculum Materials at his college. A majority of the colleges present this course on a work shop basis and it has proved a very satisfactory method which permits teaching group differentiation. A discussion of the requirements and differences in "speech education" and "speech correction" resulted from a question asked by Dean Jaarsma. VTiether the new regulations for "specialization and electives" -2- in the elementary curriculum take the place of all old ones, or whether old ones were still valid since the Board of Presidents and not recinded them ^jrew out of the discussion. The Deans decided to submit a list of questions to the Board of Presidents in order to clarify the issue. Following is the desire of the Deansj "For clarification purposes the following questions are asked relative to item 3 under "Specialization and Electives" in the elementary curriculum as adopted by the Board of Presidents under date of January 17, 1941." 1, "Does the Board of Presidents' action still permit a general speech specialization for the elementary field as approved under date of January 15, 1937?" 2. "May the twelve semester hours of electives in the revised elementary curricuoum be taken entirely in 'speech including dramatics''?" 3. "Is speech correction still considered an area of specialization in the elementary field?" 4. "May all tv/elve elective semester hours in the revised elementary curriculum be taken in speech correction so as to meet within the four year period twelve of the twenty-four needed for certification as a 'speech correctionist ?" 5. "Is preparation for teaching classes for the mentally retarded still considered an area of specialization in the elementary field?" 6. "May all twelve elective semester hours in the revised elementary curriculum be taken in teaching classes for the mentally retarded so as to meet within the four year period twelve of the twenty-four needed for certification?" After more discussion relative to the revised curriculums it was decided to present to the Board of Presidents for their consideration the following: "The Deans of Instruction call your attention to certain inconsistencies in the recently revised curriculums. These are pointed out because of scheduling difficulties which confront the Deans." 1. "Industrial Arts: Economics 2 s,h. when in other curriculums 3 s,h. are required and at the same time Curriculum Materials is 4 s.h. and in other curriculums 3 s.h. are required." -3- Sociology, 2 s.h, instead of the ordinarily required 3 s.h, and 129 semester hours for graduation instead of the usual 128," 2, "Art: 3, Clock hours for student teaching has a total "Art: of 15 instead of 18 as per other revised curriculums," 4, "History of Pennsj^lvania, as a 2 s,h, course in the elementary curriculum and a 3 s.h, course as an elective in the secondary field." 5, "Ethics offered as an elective in social studies and yet required of everyone in both the elementary and secondary curriculum. Is the required course a social studies or a course in education?" What the Teachers Colleges are doing in health and physical education for those pursuing the elementary curriculum was discussed. The differences between xTOrk for the students own development and wrk which will give material to better teach elementary grade pupils in physical education as well as health was stressed. Adjourned at 12:15 for lunch Reconvened at 1:30 o'clock B. STUDENT PERSONNEL The different Deans explained their methods for securing the data for comparative studies and the use to which it was put. It was discovered that different methods were used and different uses made of the data. The majority of the test results are used for classification purposes although many have good systems to use the data through the Dean's office for guidance purposes. The Sophomore program for testing as set up by the Board of Presidents was discussed. Dean Naegle stated that unless a uniform program is used and the reports submitted from every institution it will not be worthwhile to give the tests, Dr, Francis B. Haas, Superintendent of Public Instruction, entered the meeting for a short time. He asked that the Deans submit suggestions to the Board of Presidents that would make the testing program more effective. use Ijy After a discussion of the different m.ethods that have been in the Teachers Colleges the follov/ing recommendations were made: "Reconimendations to the Board of Presidents for the Sophomore Testing Program to be given during the 1941-42 college year:" -4- the meeting with Doctor Flowers, the representatives be those persons who are to administer the tests." 1. '^That at 2. "That the tests be given within the same week at all institutions." 3. "That each test shall be scored in a uniform procedure, that is, with machine scoring or the same tyj)e of hand scoring," 4. "That the committee of fourteen who administer the tests, select a sub-committee for editing the results of the tests." 5. "That the sub-committee of the testing committee forward a summary of the test results back to each school for re-checking before publication." A few general remarks vrere made concerning the means of improving the quality of new entrants without decreasing the enrolment, especially in curriculums where teacher demand exceeds teacher supply. General discussion stressed the importance of the Dean's position for improving the student personnel program. A great variety of relationships with the staff appears to be in effect. The problem of "character" and signing the character certificate on the certificate application blank was discussed. It was agreed that the Dean needs to have some means of knowing more about the student especially when he is given the responsibility of signing the character certificate. The regulation which requires each student to be in a physical activity each semester and in an extra class activity program each year as set up by the Board of Presidents was discussed. The discussion that followed indicated that it is becoming more difficult to put this regulation into practice. After each Dean had expressed himself on the topic, Dean Jaarsma and Dean Naegle prepared the following to which the Deans unanimously agreed. "The opportunity for a variety of physical activities and extracurricular activities should be provided and encouraged for all students as an integral phase of their pre-service education, but participation in them should be left to the choice of the student. This recommendation is based on the following observations: 1, College life today calls for a re-emphasis upon the curricular and solid study, 2. Colleges generally provide and students demand a variety of activities of all kinds. -5- 3. Individual students who fail to participate voluntarily in social and physical activities are in the minority and they can be effectively guided into these activities most beneficial to the individual, 4. The administration of the program presents serious difficulties which appear for the moment to be insurmountable. On the basis of this it is recommended that the Board of Presidents change these regulations from a mandatory to a voluntary basis. D. STUDENT TEACHING With each Dean describing practices at his institution, it was found that the responsibilities of the dean relative to student teaching vary. Some colleges have directors of student teaching who may work either independently or in cooperation vich the Desin of Instruction. In tv;o institutions the Dean has full charge of the student teaching program. In most instances quality points or a grade level determine whether or not the student is qualified to enter student teaching. The importance of Teachers Colleges m^eeting the student teaching standards was emphasized and it was agreed that the Dean should make sure that the standards were being met, E. FACULTY PERSONNEL Dean Siedle suggested that a copy of all publications be exchanged am.ong the Deans and that this material should come to the college addressed to the Dean directly. Dean MacDougall explained how suggestions from the staff for the improvement of instruction was quoted in their faculty bulletin. Numerous practices were discussed. Most of the colleges have faculty bulletin boards. Some of the faculties hold dinner parties and other sociable activities in order to promote better feeling among the members. The majority of the colleges have developed a definite program to encourage faculty-public school contacts. Studies are made of the places v^ere members have visited. Some of the colleges have developed a follow-up program for student teachers during the first year of their actual teaching. Doctor Kriner thanked the Deans for their cooperation.

Doctor Steele, Chaiman of the Curricular and Credentials Committee presented the following report: REPORT OF TH3 CURRICULAR AND CREDENTIALS GOMITTEE November 21, 19 Ul RE: No credit courses in Art and Music The following reports were prepared by special committees working under the guidance of Dr. Valentine Kirby in art and Dr. Claude Rosenberry in music The Curricular and Credentials Comiriittee approves these reports and recommends their adoption by the Board of Presidents with the recommendation that they become effective as soon as administratively possible in each college, but not later than September 1, 19A2 A. "Report of the Art Committee to the Curricular and Credentials Committee of the Board of College Presidents The Art Committee wishes to express its sincere appreciation to the Curricular and Credentials Committee of the Board of College Presidents for its recognition and av-zareness of what has b{;en to the art faculties of the State Teach^:;rs Colleges a long felt nt^ed, namely, 1. The lack of preparation and fitness on the part of entering students in the elementary curriculuiri of the State Teachers Colleges to profitably pursue the activities required of them in the Professional Courses Art I and Art II. 2. The necessity that such a deficiency in preparation and fitness should be made up by enrolment in a non-credit pre-requisite course or courses depending upon the need of the individual. 3. The need of some form of standardized examination or 'standard of competence' to be set up for the purpose of determaning such lack of sufficient mastery of the knov/ledge and skills necessary to enable them to pursue these professional courses with profit. The committee wishes further to say that it agrees wholeheartedly and is entirely in sympathy with the recommendations as made in the above mentioned report, and to this end makes the following recommendations; 1. That all students in the elementary field, before admission to courses Art I and Art II, be given the following tests as a part of the procedure to determine competency to pursue these courses: Knauber's Art Ability Test, revised, by nlma Jordan Knauber, and published by the University of Cincinnati, Ohio; McAdory Art Appreciation Test, Bureau of publications. Teachers College, Columbia University, New York City, using the norm for college freshmen. -1538- 2. That all students not reaching the established norm be required to take a preparatory, pre-requisite, qualifying course, or courses. Completion of the pre-requisite course and readiness for admission to the professional Courses Art I and Art II shall be determined by attainment of the desired standard of competence. We recommend that this course be a two-hour course given in the sophomore year, and continued until the student, in the judgment of the instructor, is able to pursue profitably courses Art I and Art II. This flexibility of time and content is necessary because of the Vvlde diversity of individual needs and preparation. 3. Since the tests available do not meet our requirements in every respect, we recommend further: a. That as soon as possible we develop a standardized achievement test in the field of art which will meet the peculiar requirements of our own State Teachers Colleges. b. That the content of this test should be determined by a careful analysis of recomniendations from the art faculties of the State Teachers Colleges c. That tiie minimum acceptable standard for entering students should be based upon knowledge, skills, and appreciations which these faculties consider pre-requisite for adjiiLssion to the Required Professional Courses Art I and Art II. V^hen this program becomes effective, it will be essential that the content of Art I and Art II be interpreted more uniformly. Mr. Aime H. Doucette State Teachers College Edinboro Miss Marion Farnham State Teachers College West Chester Miss Marian B. Satterwhite State Teachers College East Stroudsburg C. Valentine Kirby, Chairman Harrisburg The Art Committee gave primary consideration to suggestions received from art teachers in the State Teachers Colleges in response to a request of the Chief of Art Education under the date of March 31, 1941. No replies or suggestions were received from Bloomsburg, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Millersville, or Slippery Rock. NOTE: -1539- " There was general agreement that the objectives were to determine degrees of competency in representative drawing, design (lettering), color, and art appreciation. The tests recommended would include these fields of art education . B. "Report of the Music Committee to the Curricular and Credentials Committee of the Board of College Presidents Conforming with the recommendation of the Curricular and Credentials Committee and the approval of the Board of College Presidents, the Music Committee appointed by the Superintendent of Public Instruction to set up a classification and diagnostic procedure in the field of music education for the establishment of competence to profit by curricular courses in the State Teachers Colleges, bers leave to present the following report: The committee based its deliberations largely on suggestions which had previously been requested of the Music Dep;^.rtiaents of the State Teachers Colleges and received from each of them except Cheyney. Generalizations resolved themselves into objectives of competency including (1) knowledge of music symbols and ter.Tiinology; (2) recognition and use of syllable names; (3) recognition and use of pitch namies; (A) recognition and use of meter signatures; (5) knowledge of key signatures; (6) knowledge of note and rest values; (7) knov/ledge of ear training; (8) recognition of familiar melodies from notation; (9) ability to sing familiar melody in correct unison with others. Accordingly, the comniittee recomidends: I. The Kwalwasser-Ruch Test of Musical Accomplishraent (published by the Extension Division, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa), or equivalent, shall be administered to all students in the Elementary Curriculum who have not had Music I, II. Only students scoring the median norm of fifty per cent-ile, or above, shall be eligible to enroll in Music I. III. Students scoring below the median norm of fifty per cent-ile be required to take a preparatory or qualifying non-credit music course. rV. The preparatory or qualifying non-credit music course should be scheduled on a minim.um of two hours per week. V. Individual students in this course shall be eligible to be excused from further participation whenever they can meet the pre-requisite for Music I. VI. The preparatory or qualifying course should immediately precede (during the sophomore year) the Music I course (during the junior year) in order that the skill formation may not be too remotely interrupted. . VII. Consideration should be given, in due time, to the need for revision of the diagnostic test to compensate for the development of standards. It would seem wise not to repeat the same standardized tests on succc^ssive years. Clarissa Randall State Teachers College Mansfield Grace E. Ullemeyer State Teachers College Lock Hoven E. 'S. Halstead State Teachers College California M. Claude Rosenberry, Chairman Harri sburg. Respectfully suomitted LeRoy A. King Q. A. W. Rohrbach Albert Lindsay Rowland L. K. Van Houten Robert M. Steele, Chairman On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Chandler, it was voted that the report of the Curricular and Credentials Committee be adopted The Chairman of and Credentials Committee suitable for inclusion in present them to the Board the Board further suggested that the Curricular prepare the facts of the report which would be the catalogues of the several institutions ancX at a later date. Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular and Credentials Comm.itt stated that progress is b<;iing made on the secondary curriculum and the various other curriculums and that a report will be presented at a later meeting of the Board. B. Report of the Fees Committee The question of fees was discussed by the members of the Board but because of the importance of the matter, it was decided by the Board that a special meeting of the Board of Presidents would be held to give serious consideration to this matter. The tentative date set for this special meeting is December 11, 19^1. The Board was urged to study the matter carefully. -15U- Report of the Testing Committee Doctor Flowers, Chairman of the Testing Committee, stated that in view of the difficulty in securing the cooperation of all of the institutions in the testing prograra it might be viise to delay the testing program at least a year. Several of the other Presidents expressed the opinion that to do this would be unvdse at this particular time. On motion of Doctor Flowers, seconded by Doctor Hoonan, it was suggested that the uniform testing program for this year be omitted. Eight of the Presidents voted "no" on the motion and five voted "yes". The resolution did not pass. D. Standards , Ainerican Association of Teach-irs Collegus Doctor Rowland presented to the Board a discussion of the Standards of the American Association of Teachers Colleges. He suggested that each institution develop a statement of objectives in the light of these standards It was suggested that the material contained in these Standards be carefully studied and discussed. Meetings of faculty. Boards of Trustees, and other groups were suggested as excellent times to discuss th^jso Standards. E. Report of thu Calendar Corimiitteo Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the Calendar Committee, presented the following report: RE: STATE TE..CFERS COLLEGES OF PEI'IKSYLVANIA, CALEMDAR 19/,2-U3 I. A.

The Board agreed to autnorize a committee subject to the approval of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to establish such pre-Surnmer Sessions for industrial arts students where the demand appeared to warrant such courses during the present emergency.

The necessity that such a deficiency in preparation and fitness should be made up by enrolment in a non-credit pre-requisite course or courses depending upon the need of the individual. 3. The need of some form of standardized examination or "standard of competence" to be set up for the purpose of determining such lack of sufficient mastery of the knowledge and skills necessary to enable them to pursue these professional courses with profit. The committee wishes further to say that it agrees wholeheartedly and is entirely in sympathy with the recommendations as made in the above mentioned report, and to this end makes the following recommendat i ons 1. That all students in the elementary field, before admission to courses Art I and Art II, be given the following tests as a part of the procedure to determine competency to pursue Knauber's Art Ability Test, revised, by Alma these courses: Jordan Knauber, and published by the University of Cincinnati, Ohio; McAdory Art Appreciation Test, Bureau of Publications, Teachers College, Columbia University, New York City, using the norm for college freshmen, 2, That all students not reaching the restablished norm be required to take a preparatory, pre-requisite, qualifying course or courses. Completion of the pre-requisite course and readiness for admission to the professional courses Art I and Art II shall be determined by attainment of the desired standard of competence. -2We recommend that this course "be a two-hour course given In the sophomore year, and continued until the student, in the judgment of the instructor, is able to pursue profitably courses Art I and Art II. This flexibility of time and content is necessary because of the wide diversity of individual needs and preparation. 3. Since the tests available do not meet our requirements in every respect, we recommend further: a. That as soon as possible we develop a standardized achievement test in the field of art which will meet the peculiar requirements of our own State Teachers Colleges, b. That the content of this test should be determined by a careful analysis of recommendations from the art faculties of the State Teachers Colleges, c. That the minimum acceptable standard for entering students should be based upon knowledge, skills, and appreciations which these faculties consider pre- requisite for admission to the Required Professional Courses Art I and Art II, When this program becomes effective it will be essential that the content of Art I and Art II be interpreted more tiniformly. Mr, Aime H, Doucette State Teachers College Edinboro Miss Marion Farnham State Teachers College West Chester Miss Marian B, Satterwhite State Teachers College East Stroudsburg C. Valentine Kirby, Chairman Harrisburg October 18, 1941 NOTE: The Art Committee gave primary consideration to suggestions received from art teachers in the State Teachers Colleges in response to a request of the Chief of Art Education under the date of March 31, 1941. No replies or suggestions were received from Bloomsburg, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Millersville, or Slippery Rock. There was general agreement that the objectives were to determine degrees of competency in representative drawing, design (lettering), color, and art appreciation. education. The tests recommended would include these fields of art Exhibit "H" Report of the Music Committee to the Curricular and Credentials Committee of the Board of College Presidents Conforming with the recommendation of the Curricular and Credentials Committee and the approval of the Board of College Presidents, the Music Committee anpointed hy the Superintendent of Public Instruction to set up a classification and diagnostic procedure in the field of music education for the establishment of competence to profit by curricular courses in the State Teachers Colleges, begs leave to present the following report. The committee based its deliberations largely on suggestions which had previously been requested of the Music Departments of the State Teachers Colleges and received from each of them except Cheyney. Generalizations resolved themselves into objectives of competency including (l) knowledge of music symbols and terminology; (2) recognition and use of syllable names; (3) recognition and use of pitch names; (4) recognition and use of meter signatures; (5) knowledge of key signatures; (6) knowledge of note and rest values; (7) knowledge of ear training; (8) ability to sing familiar melody in correct unison with others; (9) recognition of familiar melodies from notation. Accordingly, the committee recommends: I. The Kwalwasser-Such Test of Musical Accomplishment (published by the Extension Division, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa), or equivalent, shall be administered to all students in the Elementary Curriculum who have not had Music I. II. Only students scoring the median norm of fifty per cent-ile or above, shall be elibigle to enroll in Music I. III. Students scoring below the median norm of fifty per cent-il be required to take a preparatory or qualifying non-credit music course. IV, The preparatory or qualifying non-credit music course should be scheduled on a minim\im of two hours per week. -2V» VI. VII. Individual students in this course shall "be eligible to be excused from further participation whenever they can meet the pre- requisite for Music I. The preparatory or qualifying course should immediately precede (during the sophomore year) the Music I course (during the jtinior year) in order that the skill formation may not be too remotely interrupted. Consideration should be given, in due time, to the need for revision of the diagnostic test to compensate for the It would seem rise not to development of standards. repeat the same standardized tests on successive years.

The meeting was held to consider the question of fees and was called to order by the Chairman of the Board at 9:30 A.M., Eastern Standard Time. The following; vere present: Harvey A. Andruss Robert M. Steele Leslie Pinckney Hill Paul G. Chandler Joseph F. Noonan L. H. Van Houten LeRoy A. King q. A. Vi. Rohrbach John G. Flowers Willis E. Pratt Landis Tanger Albert Lindsay Rowland John A. Entz Charles S. Swope Bloomsburg California Cheyney Clarion East Stroudsburg Edinboro Indiana Kutztown Lock Haven Mansfield Millersville Shippensburg Slippery Rock Vest Chester Francis B. Haas, Chairman Harry L. Kriner, Acting Secretary After the meeting was called to order the Board resolved itself int a committee of the whole with Mr. Andruss as Chairman. Mr. Andruss presented the following Docket for the committee's approval I. II. III. IV. V. Determiination of the Amount to be Raised "Ways and Means of Raising the Am.ount Effect of Withdrawal of M.Y.A'. Funds Out-of-state Fees Publication Policy -1545- On motion of Doctor Pratt, seconded by Doctor Rowland, it was agreed by the Cominittee that the Docket should be approved as presented. I Determination of the Amou nt to be Raised . On motion of Doctor Noonan, seconded by Doctor Tanger, it was decided that the sum of $250,000 be considered as an approximate sum to be This amount was based on the folloving assumptions: raised. 1. That increased costs shall be borne by all students in proportion to the instructional and housing services vhich they receive. 2. That there may be a decreased enrollment from the present figures which are 7,000 regular students, of T.vhich 4,000 are residents in the colleges. 3. The above amount needs to be raised a. To protect a Reserve to the am.ount of To provide for 15fo possible decrease b. in enrollment, amounting to about Total $140,000 112 500 , $252,500 The Committee agreed that a definite sum could not be estimiated in vieV' of present circumstances but adopted $250,000 as a tentative point from, vhich to work. II . Ways and Means of Raising the Am.ount The members of the Comm.ittee of the VUhole expressed the feeling that the State Teachers Colleges ove a definite academ.ic responsibility to those they serve and that, therefore, academic standards could not justifiably be lowered. Additional money would necessarily be raised by increased fees. Section 2009 of the School Code, which states "the Board of Trustees may fix and charge such fees as may be necessary for the proper operation of the college provides the legal basis for this action. Regular Contingent Fees On motion of Doctor Rorland, seconded by Doctor Noonan, it was recommended that the Contingent Fee be increased $12. CO per semester; the Summer Session Fee, Extension Fee, Part-time Fee, Teacher-in-Service Fee be increased $1.00 per semester hour; and the Student Housing Fee be increased $1.00 per week These increases would be effective June 1, 1942 and end May 31, 1943 and would affect all students regardless of the curriculum, in which they are enrolled. It was pointed out that students in certain special curriculums such art, and home economics are charged an extra fee. Because of these fees, Doctor Rowland and Doctor Noonan added to their original m.otion the fact that the Comm.ittee would automatically be bound to consider the question of special fees should the motion pass. as music, This amended motion failed to pass by a vote of five to seven. -1546- After further discussion, it vas moved by Doctor Noonan, seconded by Houten, that the Contingent Fee be increased $v.00 per semester, Doctor the Summer Session Fee, Extension Fee, Part-time Fse and Teacher-in-Service Fee be increased $1.00 per semester hour, and the Student Housing Fee be increased $i,00 per week. "Van , It was understood This motion carried by a vote of eleven to two. high fees in certain that some solution should be worked out to prevent unduly curriculums. The meeting adjourned at 18:15 P.M. for luncheon and convened at 1:45 P.M. Special Contingent Fees When the m.eeting was called to order, it was pointed out that there are only two special curriculums which have Contingent Fees above #36.00 per semester, namely, home economics, $72.00 per semester, and music, $90.00 per semester. On motion of Doctor Flowers, seconded by Mr. S'vvope it was moved that the special Contingent Fees for homie economics and music be reduced by the amount of the proposed increase in the Contingent Fee for all students. This means that there would be no change in the total Contingent Fees for students enrolled in homie economics and music curriculums. The Committee passed this , m.otion unanimously. On motion of Doctor Flowers, seconded by Mr. Swope, it was moved that a fee of $18.00 a year be approved for the curriculum in library science. This fee shall become effective for the college year 1942-43. On motion of Doctor King, seconded by Doctor Rovla.id, it was mioved that the fee for the business education curriculum be increased to $12.00 per semester or $24.00 a year. III . Effect of Withdrawal of^ N.Y.A. Funds It was pointed out that there will be a possible reduction of fifty to eighty per cent in money available for student aid because available funds have been impounded. Since one hundred per cent has already been paid out for the first two pay periods, a large reduction for the remainder of the year will be necessary. In view of the fact that this situation v^ould work a hard- ship on students, it vas moved by Doctor Hill, seconded by Doctor Rowland, that a resolution similar to that drawn up by the Colles-e Student Work Council of the State of Pennsylvania be drawn up by the Board of Presidents of State Teachers Colleges and transmitted through its Chairman to the President of the Federal Security Agency, requesting that the funds set aside for N.Y.A. work be rescinded immediPtely. This motion was passed by the Committee. IV. Out-of-S t.?^.-? Fe-s_ On motion of Doctor Noonan, seconded by Doctor Van Houten, it was moved that the out-of-State Fee be computed at the rate of $6.00 per semester hour. A student carrying the regular thirty- two semester hour load per year would pay $192.00 instead of the present $282.00 for out-of-State and Contingent Fees. -1547- I . V. Fublication Follcy Doctor Rowland pointed out to the Comn.ittee that at this time, more than ever before, it is important to keep the State Teachers Colleges and their contributions before the people in the various service areas. He stated that the use of printed material is much more effective than mimeographed material and suggested that the Publication Policy be liberalized to permit an entirely different type of m^aterial to be sent out. Doctor King, Chairmian of the Publications Committee, reported that there is nothing in the Publication Policy to cover this particular iter. He stated that possibly one of the "professional bulletins" already permiitted by the Publication Policy could be changed vithin specifications to serve this purpose. The Presidents agreed that they v^ould send their ideas on the subject to Doctor Rovland, as Chairman of the Public Relations Committee, in the hope that some additional means of advertising can be developed. The Public Relations Committee will then m.ake a report to the Board at its next regular m^eeting Doctor Haas introduced to the Board of Presidents Mr. '''illiam Sponsler, Assistant Budget Secretary, Mr. Harold Kreamer, Fre-Audit Bureau, Mr. F. Steward Hartman, Executive Assistant, Department of Public Instruction, and Mr. illiam McClure Com.ptroller Department of Public Instruction. They explained to the Board Budget Bulletin IJumber 79 and laid special emphasis on the working out of per diem, payments. , , On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Rohrbach, the Board of Presidents voted to approve its action taken as a Committee of the Whole. It was understood that the Board cannot set fees and that any action will be transmitted by the Superintendent of Public Instruction to the several Boards of Trustees for their consideration.

First Aid Report of the Curricular and Credentials Committee RE: , Januar y l6, 1942 First Aid "Many school districts on recommendation of Coiancils of Defense have required that teachers be prepared to administer first aid and to teach the fundamentals of first aid in connection with regular classroom instruction in health.
