EXTENSION SERVICE STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE SHIPPENSBURG, PEN NSYLVAN IA ENNSYLVAXIA teachers have shown, during the last decade and-a-half, a professional attitude and advancement nowhere equalled in this country, Fifteen years ago thousands of our schools were taught by persons having no more than an eighth grade education ancT little or no professional training. Today Pennsylvania is in the forefront, having a lar­ ger percentage of trained teachers than any other state in the Union, yet there are among our sixty-odd thousand teachers a large number who fail to reach present day standards. Not only this, the State Council of Educa­ tion, the Board of Teachers College Presidents, the Com­ mittee of Presidents of Teachers Colleges and Liberal Arts Colleges, and the Commission for.the Study of Edu­ cational Problems, all have endorsed a program favoring a four-year post high school training for all Pennsylvania teachers, elementary as well as secondary. This program does not, of course, mean the invalidating of credentials of teachers at present certified, but any one easily may envisage the position in which the teachers who do not have these qualifications will be placed when this pro­ gram becomes effective. Wise teachers who wish to be prepared for advancement under the higher standards of the near future will take the earliest opportunity to ob­ tain the further professional requirements represented by the baccalaureate degree in education. A college education is expensive for several reasons. In the first place the student must stop earning and is, therefore, without an income (Turing his college career. In the second place, the student is away from home and must pay for boards lodging and other services which the home usually supplies at a low cost. Realizing how difficult it is for the average teacher to give up his earning power to enter college, the Shippensburg State Teachers College is offering courses in extension which will enable the student to earn credits toward a college certificate while continuing to earn his salary. Then too, there are many high school graduates of the past few years, who, because of the stress of the times, find themselves unable to finance a college course. To such students our extension classes are open. The B work offered is distinctly college grade and carries with it credit toward a college degree. In its extension service the college will offer for the school year 1933-34 both intra-mural and extra-mural courses, beginning on Saturday, September 16, as de­ scribed on the following pages.

EXTENSION SERVICES In addition to the work offered by this college for credit, the Department of Extension has made provision for work along special lines for which no credit is given. This service was organized for the purpose of extending the facilities Jtf the college beyond its own campus and classrooms; While the college feels that its first obliga­ tion is to its students, and to teachers,; and schools of its service area, its purpose is sufficiently broad to enable it to serve every educational, community, and social de­ mand made upon it', The agency through which this broader service will be carried on is the Department of Extension. The types of service this institution is prepared to give are as follows: 1. Professional Service a. Institutes and teachers meetings b. Tests c. Music and Art 2. Rural Service 3. Lecture Service 4. Entertainment Service 5. Library Service I. PROFESSIONAL SERVICE a. Institutes and teachers meetings — The Shippensburg State Teachers ¡¡College is prepared to assist county; and city superintendents in improving the qual­ ity of the teaching done in the schools under their sup­ ervision. The college will send one or two members of the teaching staff to any county or city superintendent requesting the service for an all-day Saturday program. The faculty members will deal in a practical and thor­ ough manner with problems common to the teachers of the local .group. Such programs may be substituted fo|| the former teachers institutes of the counties or cities of the area served by this institution.

When the Extension Department has been notified of the selection of topics, a tentative program will be submitted to the Superintendent and a more detailed program furnished. b. Test SemceB-Bfehools in thfi area are becoming more and more interested in the use of standardized tests.

Materials will b|| charged for at cost. Clerical services-when necessary at twentyfive cents per hour. c. Music and Art — There are many school districts in the area served by this college without supervisors in Music and Art. Those superintendents who find diffi­ culty in organizing these subjects in the several districts under their supervision will find the college service in these .departments helpful.
