Teaching affords one an opportunity to be of great service to society. It is a public service that will challenge the best one has to offer his fellows. The future of democracy de­ pends upon our nation's schools. The schools need young men and women of high ideals, thoroughly prepared to lead the boys and girls of today to greater accomplishment in the future. 2. The profession of teaching opens a way to some of the finest associations. On the whole, the teachers of our nation are people of culture and enjoy the respect of the commun­ ity. To belong to this profession is a privilege. 3. Our state, among a number of others, offers security of position to well-qualified teachers. 4. The teacher's continuous contact with young people keeps him youthful in outlook and dynamic in spirit. 5. Teaching affords opportunity for continued growth through reading, study, travel, and meeting people of other profes­ sions. 6. Teaching offers a variety of types of service, such as class­ room work in elementary school, junior high school, senior high school, college and graduate teaching; special fields such as health and physicial education, music, art; super­ vision and administration of schools; school psychologist; and many others. Teaching in the elementary and high schools is often found invaluable experience in preparing for college teaching. 7. Improved education of teachers is rapidly giving the teach­ ing profession a higher standing in the community and among other professions. Society wants many of its most competent young people to respond to the call for educa­ tional service.

A teachers college is a professional school devoted exclu­ sively to the preparation for educational service. All the courses, particularly those of the last two years, and all the campus activities in general are planned and organized with a view toward teaching. From the very first day that the student registers, his thought is the teaching profession. SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE WHAT SLIPPERY ROCK HAS TO OFFER TO THOSE WHO DESIRE TO BECOME TEACHERS 1. en and grades one to three), intermediate (grades from four to six), and rural. b. Secondary: English, social studies, geography, biolog­ ical science, physical science, the general science field, and mathematics. c. Speech: special certification in speech correction and in the field of dramatics. d. Health and physical education: a four-year preparatory curriculum for the teaching and direction of all physical education activities, in both elementary and secondary schools, recreational activities, and the teaching of health. The teachers college provides opportunity for students to serve expert teaching in the grades or subjects for which tney may be preparing. 2. Opportunity to survey the general field of education before the student is called upon to choose any special field of concentration. The first two years constitute a general background for the more intense professional work in the last two years. The student may make a tentative choice of field of preparation toward the close of the freshman year and may choose his electives accordingly. Students who decide at the close of either the first or second year that they prefer some other field of activity rather than the teaching profession, can transfer to other colleges without serious loss of credit. 3. A faculty of competent men and women of wide experience in public school work, especially prepared by academic fupervilorv t^'h teachjf9 under the guidance of competent students aL ?Cl u ^ prePared to counsel with the students and help them with their problems. within theTivi^eXea oTthe11 il^ ^ SCh°°1S ities secure \x/o1l college to help school authorsec"e p„sitr""Pr!Pri 'each« concerned 'hey C<^ fi !°r i LCie1Ce in Education and a Provisional ina and thlt* c \ ?hree Vears of successful teachscribed credit Tnm^ * additional semester hours of pre­ scribed credit becomes a Permanent College Certificate. preparation0n u! co"}pIetion °f the four-year curriculum for the deorerof Barhe! n faQy-teacherS the student is entitled to the Coneoe CerHfirate' °f, Scuience in Education, and a Provisional Ic^fudlorizes the holder to teach in any public Junior or has earned 18 or m^°r School any subject in which he yearHf successfuM^ ,Semeste' h,ou" of credit. After three aching and the earning of six additional SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE 31 semester hours of prescribed credit, a Permanent College Cer­ tificate in the foregoing fields is awarded. 4. Upon the completion of the four-year curriculum in Health Education the student is entitled to the degree of Bach­ elor of Science in Health Education and a Provisional College Certificate, which authorizes the holder to teach and supervise health and physical education in any public school of the Com­ monwealth. Graduates of this curriculum are required to have completed 18 semester hours of work in one of the elective fields offered to students of the Secondary Curriculum. 5. Students who desire to have health and physical edu­ cation written on their certificates must complete a minimum of 24 semester hours in this field after September 1, 1939 and 30 semester hours after September 1, 1940. 6. Graduates of teacher preparation institutions who pre­ pared specifically to teach the "subjects of the secondary field and then decided to teach in the lower elementary grades, may secure the proper certification for this work upon the completion of thirty semester hours of approved courses in the field of elementary education including six semester hours of elemen­ tary student teaching. y• , SCHOLARSHIP REQUIREMENTS Students aifc informed at regular intervals of poor work in their classes, and full reports are given to them at the end of each semester. Reports are sent to parents at the close of each semester. Parents or guardians may have mid-semester reports at any time upon request. The following system of marking has been adopted by the faculty: A—Excellent B—Good C—Satisfactory D—Credit I—Incomplete F—Failure The grade symbols are translated into quality points as follows: each semester hour of credit with a grade of A counts three quality points; B, two points; C. one point. D and F grades have no quality point values. 1. Any student who at the end of his first semester receives as many as two-thirds of the number of hours on his program 32 SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE with grades F and D shall be automatically suspended from privileges of the college. Such student will be permitted to return not earlier than a year from his first registration and will be required to repeat the courses in which a grade below C was earned. A student who at the end of any other semester receives as many as one-half of the number of hours on his program with grades F or D shall be automatically suspended from the privi­ leges of the college for one full semester. Upon returning such students will be required to repeat all subjects in which, during the preceding semester, they received either an F or D grade. 2. Before a student is eligible to do student teaching, he must have as many quality points as semester hours of credit. Students doing student teaching in the secondary field must have as many quality points as semester hours of credit in their fields of certification. 3. Only those students shall be recommended for gradua­ tion whose total quality points equal in number the credit hours required for graduation. THE CURRICULA UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES OF TEACHER EDUCATION 1. The preparation of teachers for our public schools is a specialized function in the general field of higher education, T!1 S} in 7bich the entire educational program centers about and is dominated by this one objective. 2' fhe°i!w S.pecialjzed ia Purpose and professional in outlook, nullify T°n°u teachers has a content definitely of college canJnot qualify for our schools of today and forrinrr^~aC Un eS ve mastered the fundamentals of our civiliCf?f C' linkina the • u education is to "keep alive memories, " Pf' QP^sent and tempering the sensathe race " "Y LrU to the long experiences Terence of of the scienrp« well schooled in the background ot the sciences and philosophy of today. valued "culture °ff ^ucation is not merely to transmit the but aIso to taadnation m rl "kindle and feed the Teachers must be °t thought and action' greater skill and knowledge. Professi°n, aspire to ever horough grounding of prospective teachers in the SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE 33 knowledges and skills demanded in the profession and their capacity for continued growth demand appropriate facili­ ties: a substantial program of studies; a library adequate for wide and intensive reading; an instructional staff of com­ petent teachers and masters in their respective fields; schools readily accessible to observe the best in teaching today on the levels for which the students are preparing; a student-teaching period professionally supervised and directed. 5. In our present social turmoil, democratic society looks to its schools for leadership and direction and through the schools to the teachers. The teacher cannot escape this added responsibility of community leadership. The teachers college must provide for adequate preparation for the development of such leadership through a program of varied activities. 6. The success of the teacher depends as much upon a bal­ anced, wholesome personality as upon any other of the qualities that make for good teaching. Health, emotional stability, and personal integrity are absolute essentials. 7. College life, to be significantly wholesome in the education of youth, must be permeated by noble ideals. Develop­ ment of ethical standards in the life of the prospective teacher is essential, if the teaching profession is to prove a dynamic power for good in a democratic society.

DR. WEISENFLUH, DR. WRIGLEY SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE 47 EDUCATION 242. EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY—Major em­ phasis is given to the application of the fundamental facts and principles of psychology to the educative process. Important phases include: the basic equipment of the individual with which the process of education must deal, the learning process, princi­ ples underlying materials and methods of the classroom, in­ telligence, individual differences, and personality and adjust­ ment. Individual case reports, case studies, and directed ob­ servation tend to make the work practical. Self-improvement is fostered through continuous self-appraisal, individual case reports, and personality ratings. 3 semester hours. DR. WEISENFLUH EDUCATION 342. CHILD PSYCHOLOGY—A study of the growth and development of child life. The development and organization of personality traits, personality adjustments of children, and child hygiene constitute important phases. Actual case studies of children will be discussed and followed by a critical analysis of problems of child growth and adjustment. The psycho-educational clinic at the college also constitutes a center for first-hand information and study. 3 semester hours. DR. WEISENFLUH EDUCATION 344. ADOLESCENT PSYCHOLOGY—Adolescent psychology covers that period of human behavior extending from pre-pubescence to maturity. The principles of general psychology are utilized in discovering how the physical, mental, social, moral, and religious development conditions the adoles­ cent. Problems pertaining to juvenile delinquency and its con­ trol likewise receive consideration. 3 semester hours. DR. WRIGLEY EDUCATION 447. PRE-SCHOOL CHILD—An intensive study of child development from the pre-natal period through the kindergarten. A technique for scientific child study is formu­ lated, and literature pertaining to the mental, physical, emotional, social, and educational growth of the child is reviewed and appraised. Pre-requisites: general and child psychology. 2 semester hours. DR. WRIGLEY EDUCATION 448. CHILD ADJUSTMENT—The mental hy­ giene of child life involves adequate adjustment to himself and to his physical and social environment. Prevention of malad­ justment, or how to keep the child normal receives major SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE emphasis. Special emphasis is placed on the forces that make personality, varieties of adjustive behavior, environmental stresses, and methods of reconstructing personality and behav­ ior problems.

DR. WRIGLEY, DR. WEISENFLUH THE LABORATORY SCHOOLS The facilities for practice teaching at Slippery Rock are unique. It is the only teacher-preparing institution in Penn­ sylvania having a Laboratory School with all the grades from the kindergarten through the senior high school on the campus under its jurisdiction. All the children of school age in the borough attend the campus school, since there is no other public school in the district. Five rural schools in the adjoining towns lp ave also been closed and the children are transported by us to the Laboratory School. This arrangement provides a ° a enrollment of five hundred fifty pupils for the elementary grades and the junior-senior high school. , T^e ®ystfm is administered and supervised by the Director ra. y Schools> who is assisted by a staff of twentyfI,,T ^ o^ifi7a«°n rar1°u °r suPervising teachers.

The furniture, textbooks, facilities for conferences, and the like, impress visiting teachers and superintendents. Additional practice teaching facilities are offered in co­ operating schools established in New Castle, Wilkinsburg, Tur­ tle Creek, and three selected rural schools of the service area. The supervising teachers of these co-operating schools are master teachers with superior personal and professional qualifi­ cations for the work which they are doing. STUDENT TEACHING Each senior spends the equivalent of a semester as a fulltime cadet or interne in the Campus Laboratory School or one of the co-operating schools. This period is the capstone of the student's preparation for teaching—the time when he begins to assume teaching responsibilities. It provides the opportunity for him to develop his capacity to direct teaching-learning situa­ tions in a modern public school setting under the sympathetic guidance of master teachers. Approximately two-fifths of the student teaching period is devoted to observation and participation in the teaching proce­ dures of the supervisor. From the beginning, every effort is made to have the student appreciate that he is a vital member of the classroom group. As soon as the student's confidence and insight warrant, he is assigned simple duties such as marking papers, preparing short tests, assisting during library or supervised study perio s, telling a story, or making a class assignment. Frequent con­ ferences are held in which the supervisor and student-teacher discuss purposes, plans, and problems involved in teaching an assigned group of pupils. In these initial steps he becomes familiar with the routine of classroom management the prepara­ tion of teaching materials, and the measurement and charting ot pupil growth. Students in the elementary Held spend the entire day in one grade and really live with one group of children for half of their teaching period. During the second nine weeks per.od, a similar experience is provided on another gra e ev Students in secondary education are assigned to_ three classes for one full semester. These assignmen s , by the fields in which the student is seeking certification SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE made on several grade levels. This plan provides practice in teaching situations in both the Junior and Senior High Schools. Instructional materials are organized on the basis of units which vary in length from one to four weeks. The student has ample opportunity to observe and confer with the supervising teacher in each subject matter field before he is required to develop and teach a unit under guidance. PLACEMENT SERVICE An alert and effective placement service is sponsored by the College. This work is done by a committee of the faculty. The Director of the Laboratory Schools is chairman of this Committee. Through his office, with the co-operation of the deans and heads of departments, complete and accurate information is made available to superintendents, supervising principals, and boards of education, relative to the scholarship, ratings for practice teaching, personality traits, and character of all seniors and alumni. The attention of students is especially directed to this free service. The committee co-operates with the Pennsylvania Institutional Teachers Placement Association and the Teacher Placement Bureau in the Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg. Graduates are urged to keep this committee informed of their successes in the field and their progress toward advanced degrees, so that they may be recommended for promotion to more responsible positions.

The Stutsman and Grace Arthur scales and numerous form boards are available for the same purpose. A battery of tests is utilized in securing an index of general educational growth, while numerous tests especially designed for the purpose of locating special reading disabilities are on file. Aptitude and psychiatric scales are used when conditions seem to warrant. In checking for eye disability the Snellen Chart is available, but the Betts Telebinocular is most frequently used. With the Betts equipment it is possible to determine whether or not both eyes function, to check vertical imbalance, sharpness of vision, stereopis or depth of vision, near and far fusion, near or far vision, and to detect astigmatism. The Ishihara Scale reveals color blindness. The Ophthalmograph is a special 35mm mo­ tion picture machine which records eye movements in reading. This equipment makes it possible for the specialist to determine the number of pauses and regressions for each line read and the rate of reading. When faulty reading habits are discovered, a corrective reading machine called a Metronoscope is employed for the purpose of breaking undersirable and establishing desir­ able reading habits. The new Western Electric 6A Audiometer is used in meas­ uring hearing disability. With this apparatus it is possible to determine the degree of loss of hearing throughout the fre­ quency range to which the human ear responds. A hand dynamometer, which indicates the muscular strength of the subject, Fairbanks scales, devices for determin­ ing standing and sitting height, and other equipment of the health room reveal the physical stature of the individual. The Presto Recording Machine is used to make phono­ graph records of the speech of clinical patients. It is thus pos­ sible for the individual to hear his own speech deviations and to analyze his progress from time to time. SERVICE RENDERED The psychological clinic receives all cases of general ec^~ cational retardation, social maladjustment, and sight and audi­ tory disability. The mental growth of the subject is determined by means of a battery of mental tests, which includes bot SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE ideational and performance tests. A psychiatric examination is made when there seems to be evidence of menta unbalance. IN cases of questionable vocational or professional choice, an ap­ titude test is administered. Whenever the problem is one of either inattention or faulty hearing, an auditory examination is made. The necessary eye examinations are made when eye disability is suspected as the cause of maladjustment. The reading clinic serves not only pupils in the laboratory school and in the public schools of the service area but also college students who are handicapped by a reading disability. The reading examination includes a battery of standardized tests and informal diagnostic tests devised to indicate the indi­ vidual's present accomplishment in this field and the character­ istics of his reading. The results of the psychological examina­ tion and those derived through the use of the scientific and technical instruments found in the clinic are also utilized to throw additional light on the probable causes of the pupil's dif­ ficulty. As a result of the diagnosis, remedial materials and procedures are recommended. From time to time the pupil may be returned to the clinic so that progress may be checked and additional suggestions made. The speech clinic offers a two-fold service: examination, diagnosis, and remedial treatment for students on campus in the college and in the laboratory schools; and examinations, diagnosis, and remedial advisory service to out-of-town patients. Any school system in the service area may arrange with the director of the clinic to hold the speech clinic in the home com­ munity. Such arrangements are particularly desirable for schools that recognize as a responsibility of free education the removal of speech deficiencies and who wish to aid in develop' ing a program of corrective speech. SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE 53 ENGLISH English is the most fundamental of all subjects, since train­ ing in it functions in almost every life situation. It serves both as a tool of expression and as a medium for interpreting thought. Broadly considered, the ultimate goal of English, therefore, is to equip the student, through mastery of English, for socially efficient participation in the activities of life. Courses in composition consist of English I, English II, and Advanced Composition. The purpose of the work of the freshman year (English I and II) is to give students an effec­ tive command of the principles of construction, diction and style and to provide opportunities for the formation of habits of cor­ rectness leading to clear and effective expression. The methods used are (1) a study of the principles of rhetoric and good us­ age, (2) a study of good prose models, and (3) constant prac­ tice, both written and oral. Since desirable habits of expression are formed as a result of constant practice in correct usage, the student is expected to maintain these standards in all of his college courses and in his campus life. In Advanced Composition opportunity is given to attempt many types of expository, narrative, and descriptive writing. Some types are given for the purpose of aiding the student in his own problems of self-expression; others are given because they may later be used to advantage in stimulating students in the public schools. The courses in literature are arranged in such a way that the general surveys of English and American literature provide an introduction to this subject on the college level. These sur­ veys present in chronological order the major writers and writ­ ings of England and America. It is expected that the student will obtain from them not only esthetic and ethical values but also an understanding of the historical development of these literatures. Later courses make intensive studies of certain periods, such as the Romantic period, or of certain types of writing sue as the short story, the essay, the novel, or the drama. In a of the upperclass courses special attention is given to the prob­ lems connected with the teaching of English in the junior-senior high schools, and materials are selected with a view to t eir cultural and professional uses.

DUBARD SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE GEOGRAPHY Modern methods of communication and transportation are linking the interests of the people of the world more closely together. International relationships are fostered by develop­ ing more sympathetic understanding of world cultures under varying geographic conditions. This may be accomplished through the study of descriptions and interpretations of the natural and man-made features of the landscape. The explanation of the forms, patterns, and associations de­ pends upon the application of geographic principles. Thus geography is taken out of the realm of pure memory into a field of reasoning. The introductory course in geography is a world survey with emphasis upon the natural features of the earth and the estab­ lishment of basic principles. The application of these princi­ ples to the economic activities of the people of the world pro­ vides the subject matter for the second survey course. Follow­ ing the two survey courses, four detailed regional analyses are made of (a) The United States and Canada, (b) Latin Amer­ ica, (c) Europe, and (d) The Pacific Realm. Two less de­ tailed regional courses designed primarily for students who are limited in the number of courses they can take, are (a) The Western Hemisphere and (b) The Eastern Hemisphere. For students who wish to continue their work in geography five systematic courses are offered: (a) Meteorology, an analy­ sis of weather and climate, (b) Physiography, a study of land forms, (c) Conservation of our Natural Resources, (d) Com­ mercial and Industrial Geography, and (e) Trade and Trans­ portation. a ?aiA ^l10 Post session of the summer school, some part or North America is chosen to be studied in the field. The class travels by bus and observes, analyzes, and records the geo­ graphical features of the section studied.

SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE MATHEMATICS WHO satisfactorily completes a course as outlined will have no serious difficulty in continuing his studies in the graduate field. The remarkable advance in scientific achievement during this century has been possible because of the mathematical achieve­ ments of former generations. The designs for, and construc­ tion of, such marvels as trans-oceanic flying ships, giant bridges, smooth-running automobile engines and most of today's me­ chanical conveniences; the manufacture of synthetic materials of all kinds; the projection of man's thought and vision into space through the use of powerful telescopes; the search into the realm of the microscope for the basis of life and health and of the final constitution of matter—all these accomplishments would be impossible but for the groundwork of pure mathematical theory. If provision is to be made for continued advance in these tech­ nical fields, the present cannot ignore the field of mathematics— nor should it be negligent in conserving this invaluable cultural heritage. The technical experts of tomorrow are always in the schools of today. Their accomplishments in the future depend on the help and inspiration they are now having in the class­ room; and that, in turn, depends on the social and scientific vi­ sion of the teacher and his comprehension of the central posi­ tion of mathematics in the scheme of progress. To this end, the College offers a program of work in this field which attempts at every point to be of service to the stu­ dent in the mastery of subject matter and to the prospective teacher in laying a broad basis of understanding for teaching mathematics in the public schools. In the six units of work re­ quired of those who choose mathematics as an elective field, the department aims to extend the power for solution of algebraic equations to the general rational, integral function; to provide a brief survey of Euclidean geometry of space for those who have had no experience with that phase of the subject; to stress alge­ braic trigonometry, thus rounding out the secondary school con­ cept of computational trigonometry; to extend the study of plane geometry to include the conic sections through the use of the ar esian coordinate system; to lay the foundation for an underSfa? !nV that phase of measurement which is the basis of ^rfr|1S 1Cft !?eh^^n °Ur nr^in9f0metryrand calculus> which may be broadly interst^essed^n TS °f Secon^ary school curriculum materials, are stressed in the courses offered. teach°^j e £ t i v e o f t h e p r o g r a m i s t h e preparation of echnicians.

Dr Dimit SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE 65 SOCIAL STUDIES NORTH HALL DORMITORY ROOM One reason for a great deal of confused and superficial thinking, and for unintelligent but costly experimentation in the fields of economics, politics, social legislation, and interna­ tional affairs in our society today is that the great masses of people have no clear understanding or adequate knowledge of the historical development of western civilization, of the essen­ tial nature of our complex changing social order, or of our most pressing and vital social problems. Rapid economic, political, and social changes, swift developments in science and invention, intensive application of science to the machine and industrial processes, and enormous improvements in communication and transportation have made the modern world small and closely interdependent, multiplied opportunities for conflict between opposing interest groups and aggressive world powers, created a confused, complex social order, and tremendously increased our social and economic problems. With the greater develop­ ment of techniques of propaganda and the increased means, sucb-as-the press and the radioffspreading emotional appeals, the uncritical masses now may easily be whipped into a frenzy ror war or other mob-like acts. Thus a great need arises for teach­ ing critical thinking, unbiased scientific attitudes and open-mm edness in considering important issues and problems. oug great advances have been made in the solution of technical and physical problems, the very rapidity of progress in the materia world has created a great lag in the techniques o con efficient administration in social, economic, and political he . These facts indicate the necessity for more and more in­ tensive study of social, economic, and po itical developments of he nature of the social heritage, and most press,ng oaa problems of the changing social order if further soc a d.sorgan ization is to be prevented and a well-balanced effici^ntdemo cracv created Recently a consciousness of this great need h been growing and much more emphasis is being placed on so­ cial studies. Schools are increasing the number of socialstudies of the sFSSBSSigrJ COLLEGE LABORATORY SCHOOL SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE economic, and governmental affairs. The course in Problems of American Democracy falls entirely in this field.

It is the purpose of this department, therefore, to meet these rapidly increasing demands by: first, aiding all prospective teachers to acquire good speech; second, giving intensive training to those students who wish to special­ ize in the field of Speech. Fundamentals of Speech is required of all freshmen. Stu­ dents with special vocal or articulatory problems will receive remedial instruction in the College Clinic. Credit for the course will not be given until there is satisfactory evidence that the speech deficiencies have been completely removed. The teacher of Speech should have a background of knowl­ edge and skill in both the artistic and scientific aspects of the field, as provided in the schedule of required courses. In the elective courses, however, the student may concentrate, 1*_ke wishes, on either dramatic activity or speech correction. The laboratory theater, adequately equipped for instruction in the division of drama, will make possible the presentation or nu­ merous projects and plays. The clinical laboratory is designed o serve members of the college, the laboratory schools, and sur­ rounding communities, and at the same time to offer to Prospec­ tive teachers practical training in modern clinical methods of voice recording, audiometer testing, diagnostic technique, and remedial treatment.

Of the arts, music is most available and holds possibilities of under­ standing for all sorts and dispositions of people. No educa­ tional program for the individual or the group can be considered complete without an intimate contact with this field of the fine arts. The program of music begins with an introductory apportunity for the individual to establish and expand his own per­ sonal technique in listening to music (Music 102). The aim here is to make meaningful much of the ample environment of music which we constantly experience. The co-curricular pro­ gram of music activities on the campus is planned so as to inte9rate with this introductory course. The two opportunities offer the possibility of expanding or discovering one's musical capacities. Later on in the professional training, opportunities are given to further the individual's training through two courses in ?a/1C- fm frJ^ry rand intermediate grades respectively (Music 301 and 302). It is suggested that those intending to teach at those levels avail themselves of all the possibilities for improving t eir singing through participation in the co-curricular activities program prior to the work in these courses.

Slippery Rock is the State Teachers College of Western Pennsylvania thus approved and has developed over a period of years all the factors that are essential for this program. Slippery Rock also fully meets the requirements as set by the American Association for Health and Physical Educa­ tion. This committee through a national study of professional education, has drawn up a set of standards with which to eval­ uate the ability of institutions to prapare men and women health and physical education teachers. The field of health and physical education offers opportun­ ities for those interested in teaching to work in situations that are particularly rich in educational content. The teacher comes into such close and intimate contact with his pupils in activities which call for important decisions and guidance, that the type of leadership provided is highly important. The teacher mus have high ideals and a strong, wholesome personality it good results are to accrue. The main purpose of this curriculum is to prepare teachers and supervisors of health and physical education for the ele­ mentary and secondary schools. The curricu um as veloped to furnish a broad cultural as well as professional back ground. granted to teach in at least one minor field in the secondary schools.

COTTRELL SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE STUDENT LIFE DIVISION The program of the modern college must extend its activi­ ties beyond what is generally known as the curricular. Every phase of life is educative, and can be made conducive to the development of a balanced, wholesome, integrated personality. Particularly in a professional school for teachers must this be evident in the entire college program. The teachers college needs to take into account the entire individual in guiding this development. Classwork and extra-class activities constitute an integral part of the prospective teacher's education. The form­ er aims at the development and enrichment of personality through study or intellectual achievement, and the acquisition of necessary accompanying skills, while the latter has the same broad objective of the personality growth but attains this end by less formally directed situations than the academic work of the classroom. The student life division has a broad scope of activity in­ cluding: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Guidance, both personal and professional Co-curricular activities Social life Student health Religious activities GUIDANCE From the very beginning of their freshman days, students need the continuous counsel of those who understand student problems of all kinds and are glad to be of help. To that end ' Cj e^e aas se* UP the means by which students can secure the advice they need. One clock hour each week of the fresh­ man s regular schedule for the first semester is devoted to orientation and guidance with reference to academic and per­ sonal problems. In addition to this, the dean of men, and dean of women meet the freshmen at stated hours for special counS f °- fn' ®eft* Dean of Women, and six mem­ bers of the faculty, ,s charged with the responsibility of ad­ SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE 81 ministering the guidance program. This Committee has been assigned executive and advisory responsibilities. It formulates policies, which after adoption by the faculty, are administered by the committee. ADVISORY PROGRAM The guidance program for advising or counseling the stu­ dent through his three or four years of college is conducted by two groups: 1. Upperclassmen 2. Faculty These two groups act as counselors or advisers. Student counselors consist of certain members selected from the sopho­ more, junior and senior classes, and from the Student Council. For the present, these student counselors advise freshmen dur­ ing Freshman Week and the two or three weeks immediately following it. Each of these student counselors is assigned a group of freshmen whom they are to greet when the freshmen arrive on the campus. The student counselors act as guides and advisors in assisting the freshmen to make the proper adjust­ ments at the beginning of their college career. The function o the student counselors is to supplement the guidance and coun­ seling of the faculty counselors. Through the combined efforts of these two groups of counselors, the freshman is enabled to make a quick, efficient, and satisfactory adjustment to his new environment. Faculty advisers are selected from those members ofthe faculty who will teach first-semester freshmen so that each freshman will have as his faculty adviser some member faculty who has that student in his classes. Each freshman will ordinarily have the same fa^ty advrser throughout his freshman and sophomore years. "°Je^fJ:ser soon as a student has selected his major field, a new adviser is chosen From time to time each faculty counselor ferences with his advisees individually an accroach his ever, the student should feel free at a ™ throuqhout his faculty counsellor and ask him for assis college life. f The one aim of this college is to provides each of Ro­ dents with every opportunity to prepare ,. j one Qf teacher. It has been said that advising is teaching in 82 SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE its highest forms." As teachers, students will be called upon to advise with their students. Through the advisory system at Slippery Rock State Teachers College, students will become familiar with one method of conducting an advisory program, and they will be better prepared to fulfill the objectives of edu­ cation in a democracy. CoCuRRICULAR ACTIVITIES Student organizations are essential in any college which is interested in the personal, broadly cultural, and recreational development of its students as well as the academic. Especially is this true in a college preparing teachers. The teacher in the modern school of democracy is called upon to exercise initiative far beyond the confines of his special field of preparation. He is looked to as a leader in many activities in and out of school. To this end the students at Slippery Rock have organized clubs, fraternities, etc., of many kinds to meet the needs and interests of all. Participation in one or more of these organiza­ tions should do at least three things for every student: (1) develop certain avocational interests necessary in the life of every teacher; (2) develop qualities of leadership, responsi­ bility, initiative, cooperation, etc., not adequately provided for in a more formal curriculum organization of class work; (3) afford the student the opportunity to develop the knowledges and skills required to sponsor co-curricular activties when they assume teaching responsibilities. The term "co-curricular" is preferred to "extra-curricular" because activities of this kind are regarded as parallel to, or necessary complements of, the regular curricular work of the student. All students are required to take part, without credit, in one co-curricular activity for one semester each year. STUDENT COUNCIL Two years ago a student council was organized upon the initiative of the students themselves. The members of the coun­ cil are representatives of the various curricula and student groups of the college. They function as a student government group for the entire student body which is orgainzed as the Student Government Association. The association adopted a constitution to guide its own activities and those of the council. Important beginnings have been made along the lines of dem­ ocratic cooperation of the college administration and the rep­ resentatives of the student body. SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE 83 The Student Government Association sponsors a program for broad cultural enrichment by bringing outstanding men and women lecturers and musicians to the campus. VESPER CHOIR. The Vesper Choir is an organization of men and women selected because of special musical ability. Any student is eligible who meets the requirements, but the total number is about thirty. The choir furnishes music for the regular Sunday evening vesper service. THE A CAPPELLA CHOIR. This organization is open to both men and women through competitive try-outs. There is an approximate membership of fifty. Through the study or the standard and modern a cappella literature, a sound choral mu­ sicianship is built for the group as well as for the members com­ prising it. WOMEN'S GLEE CLUB. This is an organization of the young women selected for their singing ability and interest in music.

This Committee has been assigned executive and advisory responsibilities. It formulates policies, which after adoption by the faculty, are administered by the committee. YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. This association has been active on the campus for many years, striving to create and maintain an atmosphere in which character may develop and radiate its influence. Meetings are held regularly on Wednesday evening at seven o'clock in the Men's Hut where the "Y" has furnished and maintains a game room, bowling alleys, pool tables, and other recreational facilities. The guidance program for advising or counseling the stu­ dent through his three or four years of college is conducted by two groups: 1. Upperclassmen YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. The chief purpose of the Young Women's Christian Association is to develop Christian leadership among the women students of the college. Since membership is open to all women students, this organization has a larger enrollment than any other cocurricular activity on the campus. Aside from holding its reg­ ular weekly devotional and program meetings, the organization finances a social and entertainment program, a student loan fund, a definite welfare program, and participation in con­ ferences and summer camps for representatives from the asso­ ciation. DEMOSTHENIAN DEBATING CLUB. The purpose of the de­ bating club is to provide a co-curricular activity that will offer opportunity to exercise and develop argumentative, foren­ sic, and general speaking powers. It offers training in parlia­ mentary drill and practice. In addition to its weekly meeting, there are social activities for cultural development. Membership is open to all college students. Debates with other colleges are held throughout the year. LITERATURE CLUB. The Literature Club was organized in response to the wish of the members of the student body who desire (1) to become more familiar with the best in literature, (2) to be associated with others who have a sincere appreciation of good literature, and (3) to present to those connected with the college, literary programs of high character. Only those students who have had at least three semesters of college work and one semester of literature, when favorably reported by the membership committee, are eligible for member­ ship in this club. ADVISORY PROGRAM 2. Faculty These two groups act as counselors or advisers. Student counselors consist of certain members selected from the sopho­ more, junior and senior classes, and from the Student Council. For the present, these student counselors advise freshmen dur­ ing Freshman Week and the two or three weeks immediately following it.

The one aim of this college is to to be a good dents with every opportunity to P^ePa^ teaching in one of teacher. It has been said that advising is teaching 82 SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE its highest forms." As teachers, students will be called upon to advise with their students. Through the advisory system at Slippery Rock State Teachers College, students will become familiar with one method of conducting an advisory program, and they will be better prepared to fulfill the objectives of education in a democracy. CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES Student organizations are essential in any college which is interested in the personal, broadly cultural, and recreational development of its students as well as the academic. Especially is this true in a college preparing teachers. The teacher in the modern school of democracy is called upon to exercise initiative far beyond the confines of his special field of preparation. He is looked to as a leader in many activities in and out of school. To this end the students at Slippery Rock have organized clubs, fraternities, etc., of many kinds to meet the needs and interests of all. Participation in one or more of these organiza­ tions should do at least three things for every student: (1) develop certain avocational interests necessary in the life of every teacher; (2) develop qualities of leadership, responsi­ bility, initiative, cooperation, etc., not adequately provided for in a more formal curriculum organization of class work; (3) afford the student the opportunity to develop the knowledges and skills required to sponsor co-curricular activties when they assume teaching responsibilities. The term "co-curricular" is preferred to "extra-curricular" because activities of this kind are regarded as parallel to, or necessary complements of, the regular curricular work of the student. All students are required to take part, without credit, in one co-curricular activity for one semester each year. STUDENT COUNCIL Two years ago a student council was organized upon the initiative of the students themselves. The members of the coun­ cil are representatives of the various curricula and student groups of the college. They function as a student government group for the entire student body which is orgainzed as the Student Government Association. The association adopted a constitution to guide its own activities and those of the council. Important beginnings have been made along the lines of dem­ ocratic cooperation of the college administration and the rep­ resentatives of the student body.
