The location of the school is pleasant and healthful. Slippery Rock is a small but progressive town and being within a twenty mile radius of Butler, New Castle, Grove City, Mercer, and Ellwood City, it is easily accessible from all directions. Slippery Rock is located at the intersection of the improved roads from Pittsburgh to Erie, and from New Castle to Franklin. These roads are kept in good condition all the year. The school may be reached by train from Pittsburgh and Erie via the B. & O. and the B. & L. E. trains to Harrisville Station, four miles distant. Those coming from Pittsburgh may take the Butler Short Line or the Harmony Line to Butler, or may come by way of New Castle on the Pennsylvania R. R. or the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie R. R. There is good bus service from both these points to Slip­ pery Rock. There is also good bus service from Grove City, Franklin, and points north. Training Teacher—Grade 1 CORAOPOLIS TRAINING SCHOOL HISTORY J. C. WERNER, A.B., M.A. The organization of Slippery Rock State Normal School grew out of a desire of the people of the town and surrounding community to have a school in their midst in which their children could secure an education without leaving their homes. With this end in view a plan was formed, in the fall of 1887, for the erection of a building suitable for an academy and for providing funds for the support of the school until it should become self-sustaining. During this stage of the effort, it was discovered that no normal school had been established in this, the Eleventh District. At once the scope of their efforts was widened to include the larger enterprise and stock was sold to the amount of $20,000. During the summer of 1888 and following winter, land was procured and three frame buildings were erected—a chapel con­ taining recitation rooms, and two dormitories. Application was made to the Department of Public Instruction for the approval of the buildings and the establishment of a state normal school for this district. The first day of February, 1889, was Supervisor of Training Teachers MINNIE MERCER Training Teacher—Grade 6 VIOLA SCHWARTZ Training Teacher—Grade 6 WILDA WILLIAMS Training Teacher—Grade 4 MRS. JEAN M. ROLL Training Teacher—Grades 3 and 4 CORA DOWNING Training Teacher—Grade 1 RURAL TRAINING SCHOOL ANNA MCDEAVITT Training Teacher—Grades 1 to 8 20 State Teachers College set as the date for the inspection of the buildings and on that day the committee of the state met and approved the application. The necessary steps were taken toward the organization of the school and the first term opened on March 26, 1889, with an enroll­ ment of 168 students. The first class, consisting of eleven members, was graduated in 1890. On June 4, 1926, the State Council of Education authorized the State Normal School to offer degrees of Bachelor of Science, in Health Education, in Elementary Education and in Junior High School Education. On August 13, 1927, the State Council changed the name of the State Normal School to the State Teachers College at Slippery Rock. The growth of the school has been rapid along all lines. The enlarged field of service opened up to the State Teachers College will enable the school to move forward with the educational progress of Pennsylvania. The policy of those in charge has always been to keep prominently in view the purpose for which it was established—thetraining of teachers for the public schools of the state. CAMPUS, BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT The Campus. The campus of the State Teachers College com­ prises about fifty-seven acres. The part of the campus immediately surrounding the buildings borders on the William Flinn Highway. It has been well laid out with drives and walks, and the location of the buildings makes it one of the most beautiful campuses in Western Pennsylvania. Main Building. The Main Building contains classrooms, the library and reading room, the administration offices, and the supply room. The basement has been made into modern laboratories for science work. On the third floor, the Secondary Department of the Training School is housed with its own chapel and offices. Every effort has been made to keep this building and its equipment up-to-date. North Hall. North Hall is a beautiful, home-like building, with a frontage of two hundred feet. In addition to the living quarters of a large number of women students, and the infirmary, it contains the President's apartment, a recently enlarged dining room with a seating capacity of 560 persons, the kitchens and pantries. South Hall. In the fall of 1924, girls were assigned to South Hall, located on the southern end of the campus and formerly the men's dormitory. Like North Hall, this building is equipped with all modern conveniences and the rooms are comfortably furnished. Forty-second Annual Catalog | 21 Chapel. The chapel is a fine stone building 89 x 100 feet, of Norman-French architecture. It is situated between North and South Halls. It has a seating capacity of seven hundred persons and a gallery with three hundred additional seats. This building contains a splendid pipe organ, the use of which adds much to the daily chapel exercises. Gymnasium and Music Hall. The gymnasium is a modern build­ ing, well equipped to meet the requirements of the health education course which we offer. Locker rooms have been installed which will add greatly to the convenience of students. In addition to the gym­ nasium floor, this building contains studios and practice rooms for music students. Plans have been approved for a new gymnasium at the State Teachers College, Slippery Rock, Pa. This building will mean much for the efficiency of the Health Education Department. It will contain lockers, adequate showers, and a large swimming pool, and will be ready for use sometime during the year 1930-1931. Training School. This building adds much to our facilities dur­ ing the school year. Located directly on the campus, the practice school does not interfere with the regular school work. The rooms are adapted to separate grades, and children from the kindergarten through the junior high school are cared for in this building. The sum of $125,000 has been appropriated for building the first unit of a new Training School at Slippery Rock. This new building will house the kindergarten and the first six grades. It will be ready for occupancy in the fall of 1930. Until the second unit is completed, the senior-junior high school will occupy the present training school. Men's Quarters. Since placing girls in South Hall, the men have been cared for in various houses on and near the campus. These houses are all equipped with electric light, steam heat and modern conveniences. The men take their meals in the dining room in North Hall. Other Buildings. In addition to the above buildings, the school maintains its own power plant, laundry, bake shop, repair shop and garage, each of which is housed separately. 22 State Teachers College SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION Adopted by the Board of Normal School Principals Admission to a State Teachers College shall be on the basis of graduation from an approved four-year high school, or equivalent training in an approved private secondary school. Graduates of senior high schools in a school district maintaining an approved junior high school organization will be admitted on evi­ dence of twelve units of preparation earned in grades 10, 11 and 12. A unit represents not less than 120 sixty-minute periods of pre­ pared work or the equivalent. Graduates of approved two-year high schools are entitled to not more than eight units of credit and graduates of approved three-year high schools to not more than twelve units of credit toward the stand­ ard admission requirement; provided, however, that such students, or other students having irregular entrance qualifications, may take exam­ inations in additional subjects taken in course in county superin­ tendents' offices in all counties having such students, at the close of the school year. These examinations will be given under the direction of the Credentials Bureau of the Department of Public Instruction, under a cooperative plan adopted by the Board of Normal School Prin­ cipals, January 15, 1926. In case of failure in a subject, or subjects, the student, after additional study during the summer, may take a second examination in August at one of the State Teachers Colleges or at any one of the centers where state examinations are regularly conducted, namely Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, and Scranton. Under this arrangement students who complete the work of a four-year high school with a three-year rating may take examinations in fourth-year subjects and thereby receive credit equivalent to that of a four-year high school; graduates of three-year high schools with a two-year rating may take examinations in third-year subjects for a T ij Vn t^,rfe years approved high school work. All inquiries should be addressed to the Credentials Bureau, Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, Pa. Credentials of all students entering the state teachers college on the basis of an approved four-year preparation shall be received and Forty-second Annual Catalog 23 evaluated by the college; students not having an approved four-year preparation or students whose preparation is irregular, shall have their credentials evaluated by the Credentials Bureau of the Department of Public Instruction. Graduates of approved four-year high schools or of equivalent private secondary schools who desire admission to a State Teachers College without examination must present a detailed statement of all studies pursued, including the time devoted to such studies, and the grades received. Blanks for such purposes may be secured from the State Teachers College. These blanks should be filled out by the principal of the school which the student attended, or where this is impossible, by the local superintendent of schools. Advanced credit will be given for equivalent courses in approved institutions of collegiate grade, but no students may obtain a certifi­ cate of graduation without a minimum residence of one year. (Teach­ ers who have been granted credit for experience may finish with a minimum residence of one-half year). The usual health certificate required by law for the certification of teachers shall be presented by all applicants for admission. Appli­ cants disqualified, by reason of physical defects, from the successful performance of the duties of a teacher will not be admitted. All applicants for admission shall present evidence of good moral character and ideals characteristic of the teaching service. No candidate for a college certificate shall receive more than twenty semester hours of credit toward graduation for work done in extension classes or by correspondence. CURRICULA OF THE STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE AT SLIPPERY ROCK STUDENTS MUST SELECT ONE OF SIX CURRICULA The curricula that are offered to students have been organized upon the principle that teaching in the elementary schools can be classified into sufficiently definite types to require specialization. The two-year courses are divided into four semesters. The work of the first semester is the same for all students. A large purpose of the work of the first semester is to acquaint students with the re­ quirements for successful teaching in the different grades so that they may be able to decide intelligently in what grade or grades they prefer to teach. The course entitled "Introduction to Teaching," which in­ cludes observation and participation in the training school, is especially designed to aid students in a wise selection of a curriculum. o4 State Teachers College ^ "At the end of the first semester students are asked to select one of the curricula for the purpose of specializing in a specific field of teaching. The work of each curriculum must be completed in its entirety. Students may be granted the privilege of changing from one curriculum to another only on condition that the prescribed courses of any curriculum so selected must be completed before a certificate of graduation is granted. The State Teachers College at Slippery Rock has been authorized by the State Council of Education to offer two four-year courses lead­ ing to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education, and a four-year course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Health Education. High school graduates wishing to complete the four-year elemen­ tary or the four-year junior high school course should reach this con­ clusion before entering school. The arrangement of the work makes this necessary. THE TWO-YEAR CURRICULA Group I. Two Year Curriculum for Kindergarten-Primary teachers. Group II. Two Year Curriculum for Intermediate Grade teachers. Group 111. Two Year Curriculum for teachers of rural schools. THE FOUR-YEAR CURRICULA leading to the degree of B.S. in Education. The advanced two-year curriculum for normal school graduates. The four-year curriculum in elementary education for classroom teachers. The four-year curriculum for the preparation of junior high school teachers. THE FOUR-YEAR CURRICULUM leading to the degree of B.S. in Health Education. The four-year curriculum in health education. REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO STUDENTS IN ALL CURRICULA The following regulations are applicable to all students, regard- less of the course pursued: 1. AH entering students are required to take, without credit, ten lessons on "Using the Library." 2. All students are required to take part, without credit, in one extra-curricular activity one semester each year. Forty-second Annual Catalog 3. 25 All students, before receiving a final grade in English or Arithmetic, must equal eighth grade standards of achievement in these subjects. Note: The preceding are supplementary to the entrance requirements of gradua­ tion from a four-year high school with at least sixteen Carnegie units of work. Students will not be permitted to carry more than three hours of extra elective work during any semester. STANDARD FOR GRADUATION The State Teachers College at Slippery Rock offers to young men and women an opportunity to prepare for the teaching profession. With this purpose in mind, the faculty has adopted a system which eliminates those who either are not earnestly endeavoring to make the most of the privilege offered them by the State of Pennsylvania, or who do not have the qualities deemed necessary to make successful teachers for the public schools. Students are notified at regular in­ tervals of poor work in their classes, and full reports are given to them at the middle and end of each semester. Reports are sent to the parents at the close of each semester, but they may have midsemester reports at any time upon receipt of request. The following system of marking and standard of graduation has been adopted by the faculty: 1. Point system as follows: Each credit hour with a grade of A counts three points. Each credit hour with a grade of B counts two points. Each credit hour with a grade of C counts one point. Only those students shall be deemed worthy of graduation whose total points equal in number the credit hours required for graduation. This insures that a student in order to graduate must have an average standing for his whole course of not less than C. 2. Any student who at the end of his first semester receives as many as two-thirds of the number of hours on his program with grades of F and D shall be automatically suspended from the privileges of the school. Such students will be permitted to return not earlier than a year from their first registration and will be required to repeat the work of the semester with the exception of the subjects in which they received grades of A, B, or C. Further, any student who at the end of any other semester re­ ceives as many as one-half of the number of hours on his program with grades of F and D shall be automatically suspended from the privileges of the school for at least one full semester. Such students will be allowed to return after one full semester, and will be required State Teachers College 26 to repeat all subjects in which, during their preceding semester, they received either F or D. The above is based upon the marking system as follows: A—excellent B—good C—satisfactory D—credit F—unsatisfactory No percentage value has been attached to these letters.

State Teachers College OU Forty-second Annual Catalog 38 PREPARATION OF TEACHERS FOR THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL Elective Fields for Prospective Junior High School Teachers The Board of Normal School Principals believes that the time has come to abandon the attempt to prepare teachers for the junior high schools in less than four years of post-high school work. The follow­ ing courses are prescribed in a four-year junior high school curriculum: The person who is to teach successfully in the junior high school must have, in addition to what has been prescribed, a special prepara­ tion in at least two fields. A third field, in which less preparation is possible, is also desirable. Electives in five fields are provided.

HEALTH EDUCATION DEPARTMENT The State Teachers College at Slippery Rock has been designated by the Department of Public Instruction at Harrisburg as the school of Western Pennsylvania to offer a four year course in health educa­ tion. Completion of the four year course will prepare the student to teach health education in public schools, high schools, athletic associa­ tions, Y. M. C. A., and Y. W. C. A. A certificate to teach and supervise health education in the public schools of Pennsylvania and the degree of Bachelor of Science in Health Education will be grante upon completion of the course. Any student who in the opinion of the faculty is not adapte to this special course and would not make a success of his wor wi e so advised as soon as possible. , Each student of the Health Education Department shall attend one summer at Camp Canawasco, the camp established by t e sc 100 This attendance is required at the end of the Freshman Year.

TRAINING SCHOOL At Slippery Rock, all of the children of the local community are enrolled in the training school, including the kindergarten, elementa ry grades from 1 to 6, junior high school and senior high school. Junior and senior high school students from the surrounding school districts are admitted to grade nine of the junior high school and to the senior high school upon the payment monthly in advance of tuition, amount determined by law, not to exceed $12.00 per month, to the local school board of Slippery Rock. Students from the surrounding district may be admitted to the elementary grades by proper arrangement with the local board and the director of the training school. Arrangement has been made to establish branch training schools at New Castle, Coraopolis and Turtle Creek. The school at New Cas- Forty-second Annual Catalog 39 tie has been in operation for six years. For rural school teachers, train­ ing school relations have been established with rural school districts in Butler and Lawrence counties. Each of the branch training schools is under direct supervision of the county or district superintendent of schools and the director of the Slippery Rock training school. Since our practice school is a regular county school, the value of the year's experience thus gained by seniors cannot be over-estimated. GENERAL INFORMATION ATHLETICS Athletic sports are encouraged as a means of pleasant recreation, for their value in developing the body, as a source of social and ethical culture, and to cultivate the spirit of co-operative enterprise so essen­ tial to individuals throughout life. When athletics are so managed as to develop determination, courage, self-reliance, obedience, and quick­ ness of decision, there is much to be urged in their favor. Tennis, hockey, basketball, baseball, and football are the games most in use. Teams representing the school as well as the various classes are chosen in all the major sports and are conditioned and trained by the coach and director of athletics. Athletics are not confined to boys only, as is the case in so many schools, but the girls are encouraged to participate in all sports, and have the advantage of coaching and direction of those in charge of this work. Students are encouraged to enter athletics. Health Education students are required to do so as a part of the work. The school will make every effort to prevent injury. First aid assistance is given in case of injury. The school will not be responsible for doctor's bills in connection with injury. ATHLETIC RULES The State Teachers College at Slippery Rock is a member of the Pennsylvania State Normal School Athletic Association, and as such will observe the following eligibility rules in connection with inter­ collegiate contests: 1. No student who has completed the number of credits requir­ ed for graduation in his curriculum, or who has been in attendance more than there are years in his curriculum, or who is not maintaining a passing grade in at least thirteen (13) semester hours of work, shall be eligible to compete in any contest. Stat© Teachers College 40 2. A student to be eligible must have secured a passing grade in at least 13 semester (credit) hours of work during the quarter pre­ ceding each respective sport. It is permissible for a school to have a system involving more frequent reports. In all cases exclusion from teams shall be for a period equal to the period covered by the report. Such period to be not less than three weeks in length. 3. No student who has competed under a false name, or who is receiving money or other valuable consideration, either directly or indirectly for competing in athletic contests, is eligible to take part in any contest. 4. No student shall be permitted to compete who did not enter his or her respective school on or before October first in the first se­ mester, or on or before February twentieth in the second semester. 5. No member of a college team shall be permitted to engage in athletic contests other than those participated in by the college of which he or she is a member during the school year. 6. Students transferring from an instution of collegiate rank to the State Teachers College, Slippery Rock, Pa., shall be ineligible for any intercollegiate competition until after a year of residence. VARSITY LETTERS 1. Varsity S may be worn only by those who have won the athletic certificate in any of the following sports: Baseball Football Tennis Basketball Hockey Track 2. All insignia not sanctioned by the athletic committee must be removed from sweaters, caps, etc., upon entering the college. Any infringement of the above rules will be dealt with by the athletic committee. This ruling applies to all students. Athletic Committee: N. K. THOMPSON, Chairman A. P. VINCENT KATHRYN MATHENY E. B. COTTRELL ELMIRA COMPTON LIBRARY The library is open during every school day, when students are permitted to consult works of reference, or take out such works for a lmite peiio . At certain times each day, students may secure books for longer periods, limited to two weeks. New books are added to the library from time to time, and by a Forty-second Annual Catalog 41 judicious expenditure of funds, we hope to make this important aid to the student more valuable each year. A reading room containing the leading daily and weekly news­ papers, magazines, journals of education, church and Sunday school weeklies, etc., is also connected with the school, privileges free to all. A children's library under the direction of the assistant librarian has been established in connection with the Training School. Murphy Memorial History Library: The class of 1924 gave as its memorial to the school a history library as a memorial to Dr. D. C. Murphy. As a result about four hundred books have been added to the library in the field of history, and a permanent endowment fund has been created. Rural School Libraries: A number of collections of books suita­ ble for rural schools have been secured and are available for distri­ bution among the rural schools of Butler, Lawrence, Beaver and Alle­ gheny counties. Application for these libraries should be made to the Director of Educational Service, State Teachers College, Slippery, Rock, Pa. LECTURES Students should have those opportunities for culture which will enable them to become stronger intellectually through mental contact with strong minds of the country. Through the hearty co-operation of a generous and public spirited community we are able to bring be­ fore the students many prominent lecturers. RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES There are in Slippery Rock four churches which students are urged to attend—the Methodist Episcopal, the Presbyterian, the United Presbyterian, and the Lutheran. Catholic students usually attend services at Forestville. Vesper Services. As a state school, religious denominationalism is barred. Regular vesper services, however, are held at 6:15 each Sun­ day evening in the chapel to which all students are invited. Christian Associations. A Young Women's Christian Association and a Young Men's Christian Association have been organized. Most of the young people of the school have identified themselves with these organizations. Regular devotional meetings are held at 6:45 each Wednesday evening. EXTRA-CURRICULA ACTIVITIES These activities have been organized for the purpose of developing leadership in school and community life, and worthwhile employment °f leisure time and recreation. State Teachers College 42 All students are required to take part in one extra-curricular ac­ tivity one semester each year. These organizations have proven inter­ esting and helpful to those participating in them. Among the activities open to selections during the school year 1928-29 were the Art Club, Baton Club, Dramatic Club, Lidra Club, Open Road C ub, Debating Club, What-to-Do Club, as well as the various musical and athletic activities. MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS This school offers unusual advantages in both the number and kind of its musical organizations. Students who have musical ability along any line have the opportunity to further cultivate and develop it. The works of only the best composers are used and great emphasis is laid upon the interpretation of these works. There are no charges for membership in these organizations, but regular attendance is required. The choir is composed of mixed voices and furnishes the music for the Sunday vesper services in the chapel. Realizing the increasing importance churches are giving to this part of their service, we hold a high standard for the music of our vesper service. The girls' chorus is open to girl students. This organization takes up the study of some of the best choruses and cantatas arranged for female voices. The men's glee club was organized during the winter of 1925-26. The club is open to male students who read music and are able to sing sufficiently well to do work of this type. This has been one of the popular musical organizations of the school during the past few years. The school orchestra is open to students who can read and play well difficult music. It gives concerts during the year, and assists on special occasions throughout the year. The band is open to students who can read band music reasonably well. Regular attendance is required at the weekly rehearsals. MEMORIAL FUNDS AND SCHOLARSHIPS Through the kindness of Mr. J. V. Ritts, six one hundred dollar scholarships are available each year for residents of Butler County who could not otherwise attend the State Teachers College at Slippery Rock. Applications for these scholarships must have the recommendation of a business man, a high school principal and the county or district superintendent of schools, in addition to meeting the regular entrance requirements of the college. Applica­ tion for these scholarships should be made to the President in writing. J. V. Ritts Scholarship. Forty-second Annual Catalog 43 Memorial of the Class of 1925. The class of 1925 has created a loan fund for students attending the State Teachers College at Slip­ pery Rock. This fund is approximately $1,500. Loans will be granted upon proper recommendation to students who are attending school. Memorial of the Class of 1926. The class of 1926 created a fund similar to that of the class of 1925. The amount subscribed and paid was about $800. The administration of the fund is handled in the same manner as that of the class of 1925. Memorial of the Class of 1927. A fund similar to the above was subscribed by the members of the class of 1927, and about $1,000 was paid. Its administration is along the same lines as the funds of the other classes. Application for any of the above funds should be made to the President. State Scholarships. Since the State Council of Education has authorized the State Teachers College at Slippery Rock to grant the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education, the Department of Public Instruction has ruled that holders of State Scholarships may attend this school, provided they take courses leading to a degree. Alumni Student Aid Fund. The alumni and friends of the school have established a fund for the purpose of aiding students to obtain an education in this school. Each application for a loan shall be signed by three reputable persons, one of whom shall be a member of the Alumni Association. A committee of alumni is in charge of the fund, and inquiries concerning it should be addressed to Mr. C. C. Ruff, Slippery Rock, Pa. Student Self-Help Scholarships. Self-help scholarships, equivalent to $5.00 per week toward the payment of dormitory expenses, are awarded to desirable young men and young women for services at the school. This service requires about twenty hours of work per week in the dining room, pantry, or other duties about the buildings and grounds. Several vacancies exist in this department each year. Students will not be assigned to self-help scholarships during the teaching semester of the senior year. Students holding these scholar­ ships will be allowed .to go home only once each semester. The con­ tinuance of the scholarships will depend upon satisfactory work both in service and in the classroom.

Work in music ap­ preciation is given weekly at chapel, and community singing is en­ couraged. Opportunity for individual instruction in music is offered in piano, voice, pipe organ, violin, harmony and musical history. Classes in piano were organized during the past year and they proved popular and helpful to those who had not time to take the regular piano instruction. Special arrangement has been made by the college for private teachers in piano, violin, voice and pipe organ at the following rates: CHARGES FOR MUSIC INSTRUCTION Registration fee One lesson per week (J4 hr.) Two lessons per week (*/£ hr.) Harmony class History of Music Violin Class Piano Class Use of piano one hour daily Use of piano two hours daily Use of organ one hour daily Forty-second $ 1.00 22.50 45.00 5.00 5.00 5.00 5.00 4.25 8.00 27.00 These charges are on the basis of one eighteen week semester. Lessons are paid for by the term. In case of illness or necessary discontinuance of lessons, lessons are charged at the rate of $1.50 each. ROOMS Each room is 13x15 feet in size, carpeted, and contains bed, mat­ tress and springs; wardrobe, washstand, table and usual room furni­ ture; intended to accommodate two students. Sheets, cover-lids, and one pair of blankets are furnished by the school, extra blankets to be furnished by the student. The general tone of the building is brown. All students are to take rooms and board at the institution, un­ less they reside at home, or have obtained permission from the Presi­ dent to board elsewhere. Students are expected to provide themselves with window cur­ tains, towels, table napkins, soap, and needful toilet articles. Students in actual attendance at the close of one term are en­ titled to preference in the choice of rooms for the next term. All other students are entitled to choice of rooms in order of their appli­ cations. Laundry work, including ironing, not to exceed twelve plain pieces per week, will be done by the school. Extra work will be charged at a reasonable rate. Great care is exercised in handling the laundry of the students, but the school will not be responsible for loss or damage. Articles should be plainly marked with the number assigned at time of enrollment. EXTENSION COURSES Another opportunity to advance their education has been placed before the teachers of our service era. The Curricula Revision Com­ mittee has made certain rulings regulating both the offering of this work and its acceptance for credit. Extension credits earned after September 1, 1927, cannot be used as credit towards the completion of the two year course. A maximum of eighteen semester hours may be credited however towards the re­ quirements of the third and fourth years in a degree curriculum, and this may be limited entirely to the courses specified below: American Literature 2 semester hours History of Education 3 semester hours American Government 3 semester hours Teaching and Supervision of Arithmetic in Elementary Schools 3 semester hours Civic Education in Elementary Schools 3 semester hours History and Organization of Education in Pennsylvania 2 semester hours Educational Psychology 3 semester hours Supervision and Administration of Ele­ mentary Schools 3 semester hours The regular members of the faculty will teach the extension courses. A fee of five dollars is charged for each semester hour credit. Classes will be organized within our service area where a sufficient number of applicants request this work. SUMMER SCHOOL The summer school at the State Teachers College at Slippery Rock will be held June 16 to July 26, 1930. The purpose of the summer school is to meet the needs of teachers who wish to improve their professional standing and students who wish to secure a itiona credits on their regular courses. Special advanced work is provi e for those who are normal school graduates and who desire to com plete their work to secure their degree. 50 State Teachers College Expenses. The registration fee will be $15.00. Room and board, including laundry, can be obtained in the dormitories for the regular price of $8.00 per week. Tuition in the music department will be on the same basis as during the regular school year. For detailed sum­ mer bulletin, send inquiry to the Dean of Instruction. REGULATIONS FOR STUDENTS The discipline of the school is made as simple as possible. Selfcontrol is the ideal sought. Students are expected to do without compulsion what is required, and to refrain voluntarily from all im­ proprieties of conduct. The intelligent conception of duty and quick­ ened conscience will generally result in a cheerful voluntary obedience. That government is best that seems to govern least. Regular attendance, good behavior, and hearty allegiance to all the interests of the school are expected of each member of the student body. 1. The bell announces the study hour at 7:30 o'clock. Each student is pledged to be in his or her room at work at that hour. At 10 p. m. all lights will be out and the buildings quiet. 2. Due to the crowded condition of the dormitories, visitors can be accommodated only during the week ends. In case of visitors coming at other times, arrangements should be made in advance with the dean. 3. Guests—Students are permitted to have guests in the dormitory under the following conditions: (1) Meals in the dining room, 40 and 50 cents. Lodging, when rooms are available, 50 cents. (2) All guests will conform to the rules of the school. 4. Recreation—When weather is suitable students are per­ mitted to enjoy the natural beauties of the country under proper chaperonage. Optional activities are provided after dinner until 7:15 o'clock. 5. All students are required to be present at all devotional and general exercises in the chapel, unless excused. Attendance at religious services Sabbath is urged and expected. 6. Students are urged to remain at the school during the wee t ends. Permission to go home will not be granted except ^n*i^m^erat^Ve cafes* Students who are failing in their work will not be permitted to be away over week ends. ^\ # Tta dining room is under the direction of a trained letitian. Abundance of good nourishing food is served. Pa­ Forty-second Annual Catalog 51 rents will please not send boxes containing eatables, especially cake and sweets, to students while in attendance at school. No objection is raised to sending fruit. 8. Students will not be called from class to answer tele­ phone calls. Important messages will be delivered to students. 9 . Students are required to take up enough studies to keep them, in the judgment of the President, sufficiently employed, but are not permitted to take up more than they can study with profit. 10. Each student of instrumental music will have regular hours assigned for practice, during which time no spectator can be present to interrupt the exercises or divert the attention. 11. Young men will not be permitted to call upon the young women students without permission. 12. Disorderly conduct in the buildings is prohibited. Each student will be held responsible for any disturbance in or dam­ age to his room. 13. Students whose sense of honor and propriety cannot be trusted will be summarily dismissed. They will also be sent away whenever, in the opinion of the faculty, it is evident that they are pursuing a course of conduct detrimental to them­ selves and to the institution. VISITORS AND VISITING Calls on students at other times than during the hours of recrea­ tion interfere seriously with the object of the school, and are not allowed except in the case of necessity. Persons desiring to visit the school are invited to do so at any time. Every absence from school duty substracts materially from the progress of the student. Frequent visits home or elsewhere prevent the concentration of thought which true success demands. Parents are earnestly requested not to take the students away from their school duties unless it is absolutely necessary. Students are not permitted to visit home or be away from town without special permission from the deans. ISSUANCE OF CREDITS Copy of credits secured at State Teachers College at Slippery Rock will be issued free of charge upon approved training certificates or regular forms of colleges and universities where these credits may be used. A charge of $1.00 is made where a second copy of credits is requested for use at another college or a university. Official copy^ of credits will be sent only to the State Department for use in securing certificate, or to the institution to which credit is to be transferred. 52 State Teachers College APPLICATIONS FOR TEACHERS School directors and principals often apply to us for teachers. We are always pleased to answer such requests by furnishing good teachers, but we are better able to do so near the close of each school year than at any other time. Wliile the school aids its graduates to secure positions, it makes no promises to do so. It may be said, how­ ever, that for several years we have been unable to supply the de­ mands made upon us for graduates to fill positions in various grades of schools. The Director of the Training School has been appointed head of the Teacher Placement Bureau. Superintendents and directors desiring teachers should apply to him either by letter or in person. Great care is exercised by the faculty in recommending graduates for positions. It must not be supposed that all persons who attend our school for one or more terms are good teachers. The graduates of the school are almost invariably successful instructors and disciplinarians. MAIL, TELEPHONE, EXPRESS The school has three mails daily. Mail matter should be addressed: Slippery Rock, Butler County, Pa. The words 'State Teachers College" on an envelope or package will aid in its delivery, and may prevent it from being sent to the wrong post-office. The college is connected by telephone with nearly all parts of western and central Pennsylvania. Students will not be called to the telephone during study hours. Messages will be delivered if necessary. Express packages should be addressed: Harrisville Station, State Teachers College, Slippery Rock, Pa. For further information address the registrar of the school. Forty-second Annual Catalog 53 REGISTER OF GRADUATES 1928-29 B.
