The State Teachers College, a member of the Amer­ ican Association of Teachers Colleges, offers students opportunities to continue their educational activities under very favorable conditions. The college, situated in the southern part of Erie county, carries on its summer courses under climatic conditions which are conducive to the best type of work. The summer season in this region is com­ fortably cool. The environs include many beauty spots of nature. Edin­ boro Lake is a beautiful sheet of water within a short walking distance of the campus. It offers unexcelled opportunities for boating, bathing, and fishing. Swimming is an integral part of the work in the physical education of the summer session. The country surrounding Edinboro is beautiful. Cambridge Springs, famous for its mineral waters, is seven miles away; historic Waterford, ten. Such interesting scenery as that at “The Devil’s Backbone” and “Punchbowl” and the peculiar rock formations at Jamestown, N. Y., can be easily reached by automobile. Edinboro can be reached easily by auto on the Perry Highway (U.S. 19) which connects Edinboro with Erie on the North and with Cambridge Springs and Meadville on the South. The West Ridge Transportation Company maintains regular bus service between Erie and Meadville. Students coming to Edinboro from distant points by railroad may travel by the New York Central, Penn­ sylvania, Nickle Plate, or Bessemer railroad to Erie and thence to Edin­ boro by bus. The Erie railroad passes through Cambridge Springs. Baggage sent by railroad should be distinctively marked “State Teachers College at Edinboro” to insure its being delivered to the dormitory. The Organization, of the Summer Session Several changes in the organization of the work of the summer session are planned, some of which will affect all students and others, only students who did not attend campus classes in previous summer sessions. Beginning with the opening of the summer session the Edinboro State Teachers College will be in session six days a week instead of the five of previous terms. Classwork will begin on Monday morning and end on Saturday noon. In past summer sessions classes were offered at the Erie Center of the Edinboro State Teachers College. With the cancellation of the contract which was entered into by the Edinboro State Teachers College and the Erie School District the work of the Center will be discontinued with the ending of the present school year. No classes will be held in Erie. During the last two summer sessions all students who were eligible to do student teaching during summer terms were urged to complete this part of their work. Their needs were cared for. Since no real demand exists, on the part of summer students qualified for such work, no student teaching is planned for the summer session. SUMMER TERM BEGINS JUNE IS RECREATION NUMBER 7 Purpose of Summer School The courses of study offered during the 1931 summer session are ^arranged to serve specifically the needs of teachers in service and of prospective teachers. Provisions are made for the needs of the classes of students listed below. 1. Teachers now holding Partial Certificates that expire with the current school year. Holders of Partial Certificates which expire August 1, 1931, are not required to present further application for certification, but there should be submitted to the Teacher Bureau, Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg: (1) A Teacher’s Rating Score Card filled out by the superin­ tendent under whose supervision the teaching has been done, indi­ cating a rating of “middle” or better; and (2) An Approved Training Certificate indicating the com­ pletion of not fewer than six (6) semester hours of professional training, in addition to that already required for the former issue or renewal of a Partial Certificate or its equivalent. 2. Teachers working for Standard Certificates Holders of Partial Certificates who are applying for standard cer­ tification should submit to the Teacher Bureau, Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, before the opening of the school term in the fall of 1931: (1) A Teacher’s Rating Score Card filled out by the superin­ tendent under whose supervision the teaching has been done, in­ dicating a rating of “middle” or better; and (2) A Certificate of Approved Training showing the com­ pletion of the necessary number of semester hours to make up the seventy required for standard certification. 3. Holders of Standard and Permanent Certificates who are work­ ing toward a State Teachers College Certificate. 4. Graduates from two or three-year curricula who desire to work toward a degree. (1) Courses will be offered in the four-year Elementary Cur­ riculum, which leads to the degree of B.S. in Elementary Education and the College Provisional Certificate. (2) Courses will be given in the four-year Junior High School Curriculum, which leads to the degree of B.S. in Education and the College Provisional Certificate. (3) Certain courses of the Art Curriculum will be offered. The completion of this curriculum entitles the student the B.S. degree in Public School Art and a College Provisional Certificate. 5. Holders of College Provisional Certificates will find courses offered which will enable them to have their College Provisional Cer­ tificates made permanent. Attention is called to the fact that graduates who are anticipating working for a Master’s degree should take the ad­ ditional six semester hours of work at a University. Credits are not transferable for a Master’s degree. 6. Holders of College Provisional Certificates or their equivalent, who are desirous of receiving the recently created Principal’s Certificate will find courses adopted to their needs. MAKE RESERVATIONS TODAY 8 SUMMER SCHOOL AND Requirements for Admission Admission to a State Teachers College, without the payment of a tuition fee, is based upon: (1) Evidence of approved secondary school training; (2) A health certificate; (3) A statement of good moral character; (4) A signed obligation to teach in the schools of the Common­ wealth; and (5) The maintenance of a legal residence within the Common­ wealth. Secondary school training is accepted when attested to by the pre­ sentation of approved credentials showing either (a) graduation from an approved four-year high school, or (b) the completion of equivalent training in an approved secondary school, or (c) the possession of an equivalent high school certificate. Graduates of senior high schools in school districts maintaining approved junior high school organizations are admitted on presenting evidence of having completed twelve units of work in grades 10, 11, and 12. In addition to an official record of secondary school work, applicants are required to present health certificates signed by a physician certified to practice medicine in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Applicants disqualified, by reason of physical defects, for the successful performance of the duties of a teacher, will not be admitted. Applicants for admission are required to present evidence of good moral character and the ideals which characterize the teaching service. This requirement is met by the affixing of the signature of the high school principal to the proper place on the admission application blank. Each applicant for admission to a State Teachers College is required to obligate himself to teach in the schools of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for not less than two years. This obligation is required, without exception, before he is permitted to register. Only applicants who maintain legal residence within the Common­ wealth of Pennsylvania may be admitted without payment of a tuition fee. Applicants from other states may be admitted, provided they meet all other qualifications, upon the payment of a tuition fee. CREDIT FOR SUMMER SESSION WORK A regulation of the State Council of Education restricts credit for summer work in the field of teacher preparation to a maximum number equal to one semester hour credit for each week of work, when records of such work are to be presented to the Department of Public Instruc­ tion in discharge of the requirements for teacher certification. The above ruling under which all institutions offering courses in the field of teacher preparation must work means that during a six-week summer session a student can take for credit courses aggregating six semester hours. SUMMER TERM BEGINS JUNE 15 RECREATION NUMBER 9 Advanced Standing Students entering the Edinboro State Teachers College who have completed courses in other State Teachers Colleges or equivalent courses in approved institutions of collegiate grade, will be given credit on the curriculum which they pursue to the extent that the courses submitted apply. A minimum residence of one semester is required for graduation from a two-year course. A minimum residence requirement of one year must be met before a degree can be conferred. All courses for which students wish advanced standing must be cer­ tified to on an approved transcript. Students desiring advanced stand­ ing should request the institutions at which they have taken the courses to send to the Dean of Instruction of the Edinboro State Teachers Col­ lege official transcripts of such courses. Credit toward graduation is no longer granted for work taken through correspondence courses, unless such work was completed previ­ ous to Sept. 1, 1927. Courses taken through Extension work may be credited according to the regulations printed in the Catalog Number of the Quarterly of the Edinboro State Teachers College. The courses which may be taken in Extension are there listed. Register Early Because of the brevity of the Summer Session it will be necessary to complete all details concerning registration before the opening of the Summer term. Students who have previously been registered with the Edinboro State Teachers College should write at once for Registration Cards for the 1931 Summer Session, and make arrangements with the office of the Dean of Instruction for the scheduling of courses which they desire to pursue. Such students, if they have been doing work in residence at other institutions or have been pursuing approved Extension courses, who desire advanced standing should submit at the earliest possible date, official transcripts of work taken elsewhere. Students attending the Edinboro State Teachers College for the first time should write at once for the proper Admission Application Blank, Registration Cards, and information concerning the scheduling of their work for the 1931 Summer Session. The plan is to complete all registration before the opening date of the Summer Session. Text Books for the Summer Session Because of the brevity of the Summer Session, it is necessary to have text books available on the opening date of the term. When stu­ dents have completed their registration and selected their schedule of courses, a list of text books to be used during the Summer Session will be sent to them from the office of the Dean of Instruction, with an ac­ companying order blank. These order blanks, when filled out and signed, should be returned to the Dean of Instruction. Text books or­ dered before the ISth of May will be available at the Klingensmith store on the opening day of the Summer Session.

Students with college credits at other institutions who desire to enter the Art Curriculum at the Edinboro State Teachers College should secure an evaluation of their previous courses. An evaluation will be made upon the submission of (1) the regular admission appli­ cation form properly filled out in every resect and (2) official transcripts of courses taken at other institutions. These should be sent to the Dean of Instruction. Unofficial statements of high school or college courses cannot be accepted as the basis of an evaluation. If a student with advanced standing begins work in the Art Curriculum, transcripts that have been submitted become a permanent part of that student’s record at the College.

Loveland Hall offers excellent opportunities to Art Students. On tht first floor are located the office of Mr. Bates, Dean of the Art School; conference rooms and a large separate studio for each of the following types of activities: Modeling, Pottery, Mechanical Drawing, and Design and Color.

MAKE RESERVATIONS TOD.A.Y 14 SUMMER SCHOOL AND Living Conditions at Edinboro The college offers two dormitories for the use of students. These are conveniently located amidst beautiful surroundings of the campus. The rooms are large, well ventilated, every room having not less than two windows, electric lights and steam heat. Bath rooms on every floor. The dining room is the most beautiful school dining room in the state, the kitchen modern, and the food excellent. The school raises fresh vegetables for use in season and cans and preserves for winter use. The school provides all linen for the beds. Students need to furnish only an extra blanket or comfort and such personal linen as towels and table napkins and any room decorations, wash curtains and table covers which they may desire to use in their rooms. The system of student government allows opportunity for the de­ velopment of self-control and as much liberty as is consistent with the culture and refinement which every teacher desires to possess and ex­ press. A graduate nurse lives in the dormitory and watches over students and cares for them whenever necessary. Her skillful and prompt atten­ tion keeps the students in good physical condition. 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 require­ ment for graduation. Edinboro is indeed fortunate, being located on the banks of Edinboro Lake, one of Pennsylvania’s most beautiful inland lakes. Through the co-operation of the Edinboro State Teachers College and the Edinboro Board of Commerce, arrangements have been made to further the recreation that was so popular during the past few sum­ mers. Work has been done to better the beach, beautify the surround­ ings, and add to the efficiency of the project. Bath houses are available, life guards 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.
