By action of the General Assembly and the State Counoil of Eduoation, standards have been established for the teaching rrofessloa in Pennsyl­ vania which compare favorably with the best practice anywhere in the country. In order to receive the highest mlnirauin salary fixed by law, and in order to remain in the service after July 1, 1927. teachers must have had a four year higi school eduoation and two years of professional training or hold college, normal school, special or penoanent certificates. While every provision has b^en made to retain the services of faithful and competent teachers, those who lack these qualifications are required to continue their professional growth by taking not less than six semester hours of further training each year until they have reached this standard. Credit will be given for all such work already done and for each year of successful teaching experience. Every possible effort will be made to provide this training for those teachers in the public school service who require it by extension courses and summer courses in approved institutions, and all teachers without full standard oertlfication should immediately communicate with the superintendent under whose supervision they teach to discover exactly their status and what obligations the law places upon them for further training. They should then communicate promptly with the state normal school or other insti­ tution which they desire to attend during the summer session of 1922 in order that provision can be made for them therein. Por the sake of the children in our schools, every teacher should cheerfully undertake the train­ ing necessary to fully qualify for the teaching professioD. Very sincerely yours. March 1. 1922. KDINBORO T R A I If S T B A C H BS R S SUMMER SCHOOL SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY NUMBER LOVERS' PALLS (Photographed by L. V. Kupper) 3 4 ' SUMMER SCHOOL SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY NUMBER The Day of Opportunity Pennsylvania has resolved that her boys and girls shall be instructed by trained teachers. She desires that all children shall be given equal opportunity, and that the best. Her children deserve it. No other state is offering today such large and generous opportunities to her teachers. She desires that all teachers shall be professionally prepared by 1927 with training equivalent to normal school graduation. The way to secure this training has been made broad and clear. The normal schools have been given more adequate support. Many summer schools with varied courses are operated. Extension classes have been established. The work of the normal schools, summer sessions, extension classes and meritorious teaching service have all been coordinated to aid ambitious teachers to secure the highest preparation. Especially generous is the offer made to those who have been teach­ ing in the Commonwealth. Their faithful service will be counted either to satisfy entrance requirements or to give advanced credit toward normal school diplomas. Teachers who started their work for permanent certificates under the old rules are given splendid chance to complete this work in the summer schools of 1922. High school graduates who wish to become teachers may become normal school graduates by two years of study in residence or they may take the work in instalments in summer schools a:.d extension classes. High school graduates may secure a limited teaching license in one sum­ mer session. The new salary law rewards professional preparation and recognizes the trained teacher. The increase in length of schDol term decreases the period of unemployment. Pennsylvania proposes to pay better wages but only for improved service. It is a new day for the teachers of Pennsylvania. The offer of the state is generous. The state has done its part. Will the teachers do theirs? We believe they will and the children will reap the benefits. EDI1VBORO TRAINS TEACHERS I- "luu SUMMER SCHOOL SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY NUMBER 5 To High School Graduates What do you plan to do after graduation? Have you considered teaching? The teaching profession in Pennsylvania now offers a most honorable and worthy occupation. Teaching is a patriotic and valuable service to society. It is highly respected. The teacher deals with child­ ren and the community. The teacher deals with books and knowledge and has excellent opportunities for professional growth. Under the new requirements, those who wish to enter the teaching profession must be high school graduates, and can secure teaching licenses by study in an accredited summer school. Regular licenses will not be issued to beginners without this professional training. The work in summer school at Edinboro will also count toward the normal school diploma. This is a splendid opportunity if you wish to teach next fall. Perhaps you wish a college education and must earn your own funds. A normal school course of two years is just one half of the requirement for the degree of bachelor in education. Leading colleges of education admit graduates of Pennsylvania State Normal Schools to their junior classes. Why not get your degree in education? Edinboro will give you the first two years and a job with which you can manage the last two years. Other information will be found in Edinboro Quarterly, January number and in the Pennsylvania School Journal for February. Write to Edinboro State Normal School for particulars and for professional advice. Register early for there will be a crowd. Ode to Edinboro Where is it whiter in winter, Where is it greener in spring. More joyous in autumn or summer? This is the song that we sing. Where do they train as fine teachers. Can friendships so lasting be found, Are pleasures with work so well blended, In schools that our love has not crowned? Where do our hearts turn in thinking, Of places that we have called home. What spot do we cherish and love so, As dear Edinboro, our own? EVELYN RENO, Jr. Eng. Comp. MAKE RESERVATIOIV TODAY 6 SUMMEE SCHOOL SPECIAL OPPOETUNITY NUMBEE THE OLD MILL (I’hotoR'raphed by L. V.

No existing licenses will be limited or annulled. Each will run its full legal period. However, when it is necessary to renew a license or secure a new one, the candidate must meet the new requirements. Through your county superintendent, you can learn your present siatus and receive suggestions as to future procedure. Pennsylvania offers exceptionally generous opportunities to you who have already rendered faithful service in her public schools. Almost any work which you have done of a professional nature will be accepted. Credit will be given you for meritorious teaching service in Pennsylvania. This experi­ ence will aid you in meeting entrance requirements and even give you advanced standing toward normal graduation. When you have completed your preparation to meet the new re­ quirements, you will be entitled to the benefits of the Edmunds salary scale with its very respectable salary minimum and its annual incre­ ments. It is a wonderful offer which the Commonwealth is making to you. You owe it to yourselves and to the children to accept it. Why not enjoy the satisfactions which come from improved craftsmanship and more efficient service. Write to Edinboro State Normal School. Do it now. To Applicants for Permanent Certificates Those who have completed part of the work for permanent certifi­ cates will be offered the opportunity, this summer, to complete the work at Edinboro. The granting of permanent certificates by examination is discontinued, and it is not certain that the present offer will be extended beyond this year. If you wish to complete the work already started you should attend to it this summer. If you lack an acceptable credit in music, art or health education, vou must take a special course in the required subject in the summer school. If you lack a credit in other required subjects you may take work in these subjects or four semester hours of geneijal professional work for each subject required for the license. Special arrangements are made for your accommodation at Edinboro this summer. If later you desire to graduate from the normal school, the work which is done for the permanent certificate can be applied on the normal school course. Pennsylvania makes you a generous offer. Why not accept it and give yourself a chance? Write to Edinboro State Normal School for more information. Register early.

To Students Who Prefer Rooms in Private Homes The Normal School will assist you to find rooms that are comfortable and convenient, in homes that are pleasantly located, among residents and students who are congenial. MAKE RESERVATION TODAY 12 SUMMER SCHOOL SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY NUMBER Demonstration School The normal school curricula requires for graduation fifteen semester hoilrs of student teaching, observation, school efficiency and conferences. Also candidates for teachers’ certificates, who have had no teaching experience, are required to earn three semester hours in school efficiency during the summer term. A part of this requirement is supervised obser­ vation of modern teaching. It is the intent of the administration to give summer school students at the Edinboro State Normal School every advantage and opportunity that is offered those in attendance during the regular year. Plans are being completed to organize the training school along the lines of a modern demonstration school. This will not only enrich the field of opportunity offered to summer school students who wish to earn credits that apply toward a teacher’s certificate or normal graduation, but it is believed will appeal to supervisors and administrators. The Bathing Beach The bathing beach is recognized as a necessary part of the equip­ ment for the most desirable and efficient summer school. Some schools of the highest recognition have even made learning to swim a requirement for graduation. Edinboro is indeed fortunate, being located “on the Banks of the Conneauttee,’’ one of Pennsylvania’s most beautiful inland lakes. Arrangements are now being made to further the work that was started last summer. Work has been done to better the beach, beautify the surroundings, and add to the efficiency of the project. Bath houses are available, life guards will be on duty, and swimming instructors at your service. Regular instruction in swimming will be a part of the course in health education. Edinboro’s aims are to give her summer school students the best. School Gardening This important field of work will receive attention this year at Edinboro. School gardens belonging to the elementary school will be maintained throughout the summer. Teachers at the summer session will have opportunity to observe methods employed and possibly participate in supervision of these gardens. When properly conducted, children’s gardening becomes a most important adjunct to the work of the elemen­ tary school. If sufficient number apply, courses in school gardening will be offered which will carry normal school credit, as Edinboro is one of the State Normal Schools assigned the task of preparing teachers and super­ visors of public school gardening.
