has in mind the revision of the curriculums and will no doubt
have a report to submit at the next meeting of the Board.
2.
Report of committee re "modification of
the law for permanent certification in
Pennsylvania"
Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the Committee, reported
for the committee.
He stated that the committee had discussed
the matter on different occasions but due to the various circumstances surrounding the situation, the committee had taken
no definite action.
The committee felt it would be appropriate for the
entire membership of the committee to confer with the State
Superintendent and the Secretary of the Board at an early
date to go over this matter.
3.
Report of committee re "recognition of high
schools by the Middle States Association"
Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the Committee, stated that
he felt some progress had been made.
Since the initial meeting
of the committee with Doctor McClelland at the University of
Pennsylvania several of the State Teachers Colleges had made
application for admission to the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools. Their applications are now
pending before the commission. Doctor McClelland of the
University of Pennsylvania, who is Secretary of the Association,
seemed very favorable to the matter of recognition. He is
inclined to think that the Colleges would qualify under the
existing regulations. Under the provisions of the regulations
now in effect, Teachers Colleges as such, are not members of the
Association.
He further stated that it might be well for the committee to know just which of the institutions had made application for recognition.
On a roll call, it developed that Indiana, Shippensburg
and West Chester, were the only institutions that had thus far
made application for membership.
Doctor Ross stated that they would like to make application but they did not know from where the .$25.00 fee was to
come.
-940-
Doctor Armstrong stated that he felt since the
institutions were uniform in all that they do, curriculums,
entrance requirements, graduation requirements, the fees,
et cetera, he did not see why, if one or two of the larger
institutions made application and met the standards set up
by the Association, the remaining Colleges could not be
admitted without formal application. He did not see why,
since the Teachers Colleges are State-owned and Statecontrolled, if one or two of the Colleges are eligible to
membership, are not all of them eligible without formal
application?
,
Doctor Rowland stated that the recommendation of
the committee which met with Doctor McClelland was to the
effect that the application of each State Teachers College
be studied on its own merits and admission to membership
in the Association of the Middle States and Maryland be
individual after each institution had complied with the
requirements set up by the Commission.
Doctor Rohrbach stated that he felt because of
the fact that the. institutions are State-owned and Statecontrolled, if any of the Teachers Colleges could not meet
the requirements set up by the Association, then it was up
to the State to exercise such measures as it has within
its power to see that if one institution meets the requirements the remaining ones do also.
Doctor Rowland stated that as Chairman of the
Committee he would like to be informed as to the progress
the different institutions make in their individual application for admission to the Association.
4.
Budgets for 1S55-57 biennium
Doctor Haas, Chairman of the Committee, reported
for the committee.
He submitted the following report:
-941-
:
"Doctor Lester K. Ade
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
July 24, 1935
Dear Doctor Ade;
The Committee which you have appointed to make suggestions relative
to the budget situation for State Teachers Colleges for the 1935-37
biennium respectfully submits for your consideration the following
report
1933-35 Distribution: -

Your committee reviewed the distribution made for the
1933-35 biennium and in this respect attention is
called to the following:

Suggested Standards for the Administration of
the State Teachers Colleges
Report of the Meeting of the Budget Committee
of the Board of Presidents of March 26, 1934
Proposal for a Comprehensive Plan upon which
to base Allocations to State Teachers Colleges
It is the belief of the committee that the final method of
allocation used during the last biennium represented an
improvement over previous attempts to distribute equitably
the State appropriation to the State Teachers Colleges. It
seems to be the general belief, however, that the weakness
of the method lies in the fact that allocations were made
on a past situation for a future condition.
Questions Raised by Members of the Board of Presidents:
2.
The committee immediately following its appointment invited
comments, suggestions, and questions from the members of the
Board and the following are the major ones that have been
received:
a«
Is any part of the $3,200,000 prejudiced legally by
the requirements of other State Departments, such
as Labor and Industry for the Fire and Panic Act,
Department of Health, Department of Property and
Supplies?

Have any appropriations been made to other Departments for the purpose of serving the State Teachers
Colleges; for example, to Property and Supplies for
construction, to the Department of Highways for
roads, et cetera?
What is the situation as regards the possibility
of the State Teachers Colleges benefiting from
Federal Aid either directly or through combination
with part of the present appropriation to meet
such requirements as those of the Department of
Labor and Industry?
Should the present schedule of fees be reviewed?
Should Uniform regulations be made relative to
non-resident students using the dormitory
facilities?
What policy is to be followed relative to the
restoration of salary cuts? This concerns both
campus and cooperative teacners.
Is it desirable to modify the policy now in
effect relative to the limitation of enrollment?
Should any consideration, be given to deficiencies
from the previous biennium in distributing the
present appropriation?
Is it possible to relate more closely the distribution for the coming biennium to the actual
enrollment than has been done in the past?

Following your suggestion your committee reviewed:

The method used for the 1933-35 situation
The questions raised by members of the Board
c.
The statement 'State Allocations - Teachers
Colleges' which you sent to the committee
under date of July 12, 1935.
of Presidents
At my suggestion Mr. kcClure presented a statistical statement
translating these proposals into actual figures for the
biennium 1933-35. It is the opinion of the committee that
these proposals represent a further development in the effort
of distributing equitably the State appropriation and it is
suggested that a preliminary distribution of approximately 50$
of the first year's allocation be made to each institution on
the basis of last year's facts as translated by Mr. McClure
-945-
Doctor Lester K. Ade (3)
and that about November 1 when all the facts involved for
the first year of the new biennium are available final
allocations and budgets for the year 1935-36 be made. This
will permit the institutions to organize the work for the
first semester and give the Presidents additional time to
study more carefully the latest plan proposed.
The committee desires to reaffirm its belief in the
philosophy and policy stated in the report to the Board
of Presidents under date of March 26, 1934 and therefore
respectfully takes exception to the statement appearing
on page three and again on page four of the recent proposal
relative to summer session salaries to the effect that
'total faculty salaries should be limited to the income
yielded by the contingent fees.'
It is the belief of the committee that the appropriation is
made for a two-year period and that therefore in general
the budget should be considered for a two-year period and
that the preparation of new teachers and of teachers-inservice are part of a desirable program of public education
on the part of tiie State.
In administering further the twoyear period it seems reasonable to use the year consisting of
a regular session and a summer session as the minimum period
for balancing budgets and it seems reasonable especially
during the present period to require teachers-in-service to
pay part of the training-in-service costs. However, in
questions of public policy such as public education it seems
reasonable to believe that the main objective of the State
is to secure the type of teacher desired rather than to make
money or to balance the budget on paper.
The committee believes that the year including the regular
session and the summer session should be considered as an
administrative unit and that the institution be required
on the basis of the experience of the first year to balance
its budget during the second year so that there will be a
balanced budget for the biennium without any deficiencies.

STATE ALLOCATIONS - TEACHERS COLLEGES
Discussion of Factors to be Considered
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Size of college
Enrollments in and kind of curricula offered
Resident proportion of total enrollment
Local receipts
Variation in local costs
The size of a college and the kind of curricula offered have a
direct bearing on the ratio of students to faculty. Large colleges,
curricula being the same, average larger classes than smaller colleges.
There is also a wide variation in size of classes among certain curricula.
Thus, a statement of comparative student-teacher ratios is not significant
without a standard of measurement that recognizes the above factors.
During periods of fluctuating and declining enrollments,
faculties either in number or in total salaries, are thrown out of line
with enrollments.
Coupled with reduced appropriations it becomes necessary by vertical or horizontal cuts to restore such a relationship as
will balance the budget on the instructional side.
This restoration is
not affected in the same degree by each college. Any equitable system
of computing allocations must take cognizance of this factor in order to
avoid discrimination.
Food and other housing costs represent a large part of total
operating costs. As between colleges of similar enrollment, the one
with the larger resident group will show the larger total expenditure.
Expressed in terms of Class I student per capita, the college with the
larger resident enrollment will have the higher per capita cost.
This
is the principal reason why a distribution of allocations on a per
capita basis is inequitable unless the unit 'per capita' is made to
have a common significance.
.Local receipts vary among the colleges according to the resident
population and to special curricula for which extra fees are assessed.
Resident student per capita costs vary among colleges of similar size,
not necessarily because of a difference in quality of food or other accommodations, but because of variation in resident population. The resident
proportion of total enrollments ranges from 20$ to 10 / among the various
colleges.
If two colleges filth housing facilities for the same number of
students show such a variation in housing facilities utilized, the one
with the larger resident group will have considerably lovrer per capita
housing costs than the one with the smaller resident group.
Since the
housing fees are not based on local costs, but are uniform among all the
colleges, a differential is created between housing costs and housing
income which must be recognized in making allocations.
:
Procedure for Calculating Allocations
In order that colleges might prepare their budgets, based on
total available funds, at the beginning of each year, allocations have
been based on the preceding year's enrollments because the figures for
the current year are not available until after the first semester's
registration. A more accurate procedure would be to make a partial
allocation at the beginning of the year and a supplemental allocation
in October, after the enrollment figures are available.
-945-
In making allocations, the following approach is recommended:
Determine faculty salaries by a formula which recognizes the
1.
Class I enrollment in various curricula; the student clock hour relationship in each curriculum to the credit hour graduation requirements; the
variation in average size classes among colleges because of their size
and kinds of curricula; and the teacher's student- clock- hour teaching
load which is the product of size of classes and hours of teaching.
2.
Calculate faculty salaries for the summer session as the product
of the enrollment and $30.00.
In other words, the average contingent
fee paid by summer students is approximately $30.00.
Total faculty
salaries should be limited to the income yielded by the contingent fees.
After provisions have been made for all faculty salaries which
3.
amount to approximately 45$ of the total operating costs, the remaining
operating costs are determined for each group of colleges on a per capita
basis (Class I plus 1/6 S.S.) which varies with the percentage of resident
enrollment for each college within each group.
The total of all the foregoing steps represents the total calculated
After deducting estimated local receipts, the remainder is the
amount required from allocations. Any excess available should be distributed as a uniform percentage on operating costs other than faculty

cost.
salaries.
When funds are available for additions, major repairs and
replacements, the allocations should be distributed as a percentage of
total investments in buildings and equipment at each college.
For purposes of illustration, assume the following hypothetical
college:

Since the local salary average given is $2500, the total
faculty salaries for 36 weeks would be 36 x .|2500 or ^90,000.
Summer Sessi on
The summer session enrollment of 300 students pay contingent
fees of -^30 each, or a total of ^9,000. Teachers' salaries for the
summer session should be limited to this amount.
Other Operating Costs
Operating costs other than teachers' salaries are found to
vary within each group of colleges segregated by size, according to
the resident per cent of the total enrollment.
The above college is
in the group having from 500 to 699 Class I students.
In colleges of
this size with 60/o resident students as given in the example, the rate
of ^219 per capita of total equated Class I students applies.
The total number of Class I students on a 36 weeks basis equals
500 plus 1/6 of the summer session enrollment (300) or a total of 550
students.
This number at ^219 per capita equals .^120,450.
Assume that the local receipts amount to ^150,450.

made should be distributed as a percentage of 'Other Operating Costs'.
If, for example, a sufficient sum were available to give each college
10yo of 'Other Operating Costs,' the above college would receive 10,£
of $120,450 or $12,045.
This, added to the above $69,450, would make
a total of ;? 81,495."
-947-
Doctor Haas stated that the members of the committee had
not seen the final draft of the report, but that it represented a
summary of the meeting held with the entire committee yesterday.
He further explained that a copy of the distribution plan would be
furnished later by Lr. Crosley's office if the Presidents so desired.
Doctor Haas explained that the committee recognizes the
necessity for a "reserve fund" on the part of the Superintendent of
Public Instruction so that emergencies could be taken care of where
such might develop during the year; if any amount remained in the
"reserve fund" near the close of each year this could then be allocated
to the institutions where it was felt the greatest need developed for
an additional amount to carry on the work of the institution.
Mr. Crosley appeared before the members of the Board and
stated in accordance with the statement made by Doctor Haas that he
v,ould be glad to have copies of the distribution plan made and forwarded to the Presidents.
Doctor Haas stated that he felt the only immediate need
was the necessity of setting up some situation by which the institutions could budget their needs up to November 1, 1935 and meet
the budget regulations of the Governor's Budget Office.
Doctor Haas further advised each one of the Presidents to
take the proposed plan, study it and apply the formula to his institution.
Doctor Ross stated he could see at a glance that if the
proposed plan is worked out as suggested, he will have to administer
another cut and that it will be necessary for him to dismiss additional teachers.
Doctor Haas stated that this is the very purpose of submitting the plan. The institutions should work out their needs up
to November 1, 1935 in terms of the proposed plan; if the proposed
plan does not work out, then we will have to get another plan, but
he did not think it was fair for any one of the Presidents to draw
conclusions at once without first studying the proposed plan.
Doctor Ade stated that he had gone over this whole situation with Mr. Crosley and Mr. McClure during an evening session and
he felt as Doctor Haas had stated, that it was not a good thing to
draw conclusions without studying the plan in detail and applying
it to the individual institution.
-948-
He stated that he would like to hold up the definite
allocations for the year 19-35-36 until November 1, 1935 as had
been proposed, and then make the budget allocations final in
view of the enrollment figures, and with the consent of the
Eoard, this would be done.
Doctor Ade felt that there was need for a "reserve
He further
fund" but probably not as large as last year.
stated that the very first thing we shall need is a report of
the urgent repairs necessary in each institution, fthen such a
list is submitted by the college, it should list the repairs
in the form of their urgency.
This list should be in the
Department by Friday, July 26, 1935. These repairs insofar as
possible should be started during the month of August.
Doctor Rohrbach asked whether it would not be a good
thing to keep in mind in submitting the proposed repairs, the
possibility of having work done on the P. W. A. basis whereby
the institutions would furnish the material only.
Mr. Crosley stated that this is possible in areas where
there is a great number of unemployed close to the college and
should be done because it would save money for the State and the
college.
He further stated that if any of the colleges had projects
they wanted handled this way, the projects should be sent to him at
once.
He would see that they are taken up immediately with Mr.
Jones, P. Vv. A. Administrator for Pennsylvania.
Doctor Rowland stated that it was revealed yesterday in
connection with the budget, that the Fire and Panic Act of the
Department of Labor and Industry had prejudiced the appropriation
of the State Teachers Colleges to the sum of about two
hundred
thousand dollars. He felt that this sum could be reduced if the
matter were taken up with the proper authorities. It would
appear that some of tne less urgent items which were suggested
might be postponed under the circumstances of this reduced budget.
He felt that it was the thought of the committee the State Superintendent should be requested to contact the proper authorities
with a view to setting up the very minimum amount required for the
repair of the items which had been previously suggested by the
Department of Labor and Industry.
If the total amount as suggested
must be taken out immediately, it will force the general appropriation for operating expenses below the level of what we had last year.
Doctor Ade stated that in light of what had been suggested,
he would be glad to contact Mr. Bashore and find out definitely
what could be done along this line.
-949-
Doctor Foster stated that he would like to know
whether there is any possibility of restoring the salary cuts
which were made to the teachers in the colleges. He felt it
v.ould be one of the finest things that could be done; if the
entire cut could not be restored, part of it might be restored.
Doctor Rowland stated that he did not see, in the
light of the present appropriation, how it was possible to
restore any part of the salary cuts. He felt it would take
around $600,000.00 to restore the salary cuts in their
entirety and he did not see from where this amount of money
would come
Doctor Haas stated that what he would like to see in
the final analysis of the salary situation is a more uniform
schedule throughout the institutions.
He felt that if it was
necessary for one or two of the institutions to reduce only 10$
for the summer session in addition to the 10$ already in effect,
then some provision should be made so that other institutions
would not find themselves in a position of reducing as much as
40$; in other words, if the teacher of English in one college
Ttas reduced only 10$, that should be the reduction for English
teachers in all the institutions.
He would like to see some
scheme worked out whereby this would be true in all the Teachers
Colleges.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Rowland
it was voted that the report of the Budget Committee be accepted
as submitted and that each President study the suggestions made
in the report.
On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Miller it
was voted that the regulation with regard to reductions of salaries
of instructors in effect lost year be continued at least for the
first semester of the present year or until such time as we know
the increase in enrollment figures and the total amount of money
available for the fiscal year 1935-36.
The regulation referred to is found on pages 821 and
822 of the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Presidents,
June 16, 1933 and is as follows:
"Effective June 1, 1933, the salaries of all employees
in the State Teachers Colleges be reduced 10$ with
the understanding that any exceptions to this reduction shall be taken only with the approval of the
Superintendent of Public Instruction;
And provided that, the reduction of 10$ be applied
to every person in the institution with the understanding that the operation of this reduction shall
cause no cash salary to be less than ^750 on an
annual basis;
-950-
And with the further understanding, that
allowance for maintenance whether paid in
cash or in maintenance service, shall not
be included in the amount to be reduced;
And with the further understanding, that
the ^750 limitation shall not be applied
to cooperative teachers."
Doctor Haas, Doctor Ross, Doctor Rohrbach and Doctor
Riemer voted "no" on this resolution.

Transfer students
Doctor Allen stated that Doctor Rowland had written to
him concerning the regulation of the "Rules and Regulations
Governing Athletic Competition in the State Teachers Colleges"
It seemed as far as he
and that he had replied to Doctor Rowland.
was concerned the matter was settled if Doctor Rowland was satisfied with the interpretation given by the Chairman of the Athletic
Committee.
Doctor Rowland stated that he had a case of a person
who had completed two years of work and had received a certificate
of graduation and then desired to re-enter a State Teachers
College; should such a person be considered as a transfer student
or as a new student?
If the student is considered as a "transfer
student" he is not eligible to eater athletic competition for at
least one year and if he is not considered as such, he may enter
athletic games in the second institution in which he is matriculated. Doctor Rowland pointed out that this is apparently the
way the ruling operated and he was not sure that it was so
intended.
Doctor Allen stated that the committee had so ruled and
the ruling had been sustained by the Board, the original ruling was
passed under date of December 5, 1929 and is found on page 445 of
the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Presidents of that date.
This position was reaffirmed in the minutes of the meeting of the
Board of Presidents under date of March 23, 1932, page 642.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Tanger
it was voted that the committee reconsider the former interpretation
and report at the next meeting of the Board of Presidents.

of Public Instruction in explanation of the situation and in order to

"Doctor Lester K. Ade
State Superintendent of Public Instruction

July 23, 1S35
Dear Doctor Ade:
I am attaching herewith the report of the Fee Committee
of the Board of Presidents relating to a question which
has arisen with regard to the collection of the activity
fee in the State Teachers Colleges.
This question arose
last semester as a result of an inquiry of the Auditor
General's Department as to the legality of the present
procedure in the State Teachers Colleges with reference to
the collection of this fee.
The State Superintendent of Public Instruction authorized
the Fee Committee to study the situation and present a
brief for the Attorney General on the basis of which a
review of the situation might be made. Our Committee was
authorized to take the matter up informally with the
Attorney General, which we have done.
The Attorney General
requested that we submit a clear picture of the situation
in letter form.
This the Committee has done and the
attached is the suggested communication to the Attoenry
General which we feel should go to him either over your
signature or over the signatures of the Committee, whichever you may decide is the most expedient way of handling
the matter.
Sincerely yours

July 23, 1935
Honorable Charles J. Margiotti
Attorney General
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
Harri sburg Pennsylvania
,
Dear Mr
.
Margiotti:
When the State Teachers Colleges were placed under the Administrative Code, Act No. 175, approved April 9, 1929, the book rooms and
certain activities of the Colleges were placed under the State's jurisdiction. The moneys collected in the book room and the activity fee
receipts were turned into the State Treasury. The operation of these
departments through the State of Pennsylvania became so burdensome and
ineffective, and tnere was so much opportunity to misconstrue the use
of this money paid in by the students as taxpayers* money, that the Board
of Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges appealed to the Attorney
General's Office through Doctor Rule to have the book room and the
activity fee operated through a student-faculty cooperative organization,
thus making it possible to operate these functions just as any student
activity is operated in the College. There are scores of organizations
in the Colleges collecting dues and controlling their own activities in
every way. Our appeal was to set up a student organization that would
make it possible for us to operate the book room and the activity fee in
the same way as other organizations operate on the campus.
In formal opinion No. 70, dated October 31, 1932, a copy of
which is attached hereto, we were given to understand that it would be
entirely legal and possible for us to set up such an organization to
control the book rooms of the Colleges.
On the day we v,ere instructed
to put this new type of organization into effect, we were also instructed
to administer the activity fee in the same way, using the same organization in the College to function in this respect. A Constitution and By-laws
was adopted and approved by the Board of Trustees of each College.
A copy
of this Constitution as it affects the State Teachers College, Indiana,
Pennsylvania, is attached hereto. Since all students were asked to contribute the membership fees to support the activity fee of the College,
someone raised the question as to whether this fee did not then become a
part of the fee system and ought, therefore, to be turned into the State
Treasury as receipts of the College. The auditors of the Auditor General's
Department have raised this question in the audits of the Colleges for the
last fiscal year.
Under date of November 27, 1934, another formal opinion No. 155,
was issued by the .attorney General's Office which plainly states that it
would be possible for the Colleges to operate this activities program
through a cooperative association, but stipulates that the membership in
this organization must be entirely 'voluntary'.
This word 'voluntary' is
causing all of our trouble. There is a general feeling that if this organization is operated upon a voluntary basis, we will lose so much revenue that
the program will break down in all of the Colleges.
It is generally conceded that the modern college must educate not
only along formal lines but must provide also social education by offering
to students and faculties opportunities for education through participation
in social projects generally grouped under the heading of extra-curricular
-953-

institution which has, as its object, the preparation and education of

extra-curricular activities as distinguished from the formal maintenance
and instructional activities of the college that are supported by the socalled activities fee.
The Board of Presidents respectfully invites your attention to
Section 2009, page 147, and Section 2014, page 149, of the School Laws of
Pennsylvania, 1933 edition, which state in part:
Section 2009
Provided, however, in addition to
such appropriations, the board of trustees may fix and
charge such fees as may be necessary for the proper
operation of the college. (Amended May 29, 1931, P. L.

edition which says:
(d) To collect all amounts, payable by or for pupils, for
instruction and maintenance in State-owned educational
institutions, including State Normal Schools and State
Teachers Colleges
and respectfully raises the question as to whether or not these tv/o statements
do not recognize the fact that the board of trustees has the authority to
arrange for the collection of fees to operate both (a) the instructional and
maintenance side of the institution and (b) the so-called extra-curricular
side of the institution and is it not the intent of the section in the Fiscal
Code that only those fees intended for maintenance and instruction are to be
collected by the Revenue Department and deposited in the State Treasury.
The administration of this work under our present procedure is a
very great improvement over the system in effect when we operated through
State procedures. We are appealing to the Attorney General's Office at the
present time to ask to have this opinion reviewed to see if there is not some
possible legal way that we could continue to operate upon our present basis.

Doctor Ade stated that he would take the matter up with

7.
Pre-summer and post- summer session for
teachers in service
Mr. Klonower explained that this item had been on the
docket for some time and that the members of the Board had
given it some consideration. There is a growing tendency on
the part of colleges and universities to offer a more extended
program during the summer for teachers in service and for those
teachers who wish to qualify for the baccalaureate degree. Many
of the institutions offer "pre-summer" and "post- summer"
sessions in addition to the regular summer session of either six
or nine weeks.
It was the general feeling that the State Teachers
Colleges should offer broader opportunities during the summer
session for teachers in service.
Doctor Steele stated that this problem brought up the
question very definitely as to whether or not the Teachers
Colleges should go on a quarterly basis.
This ties in with the
revised curriculums with which the Curri cular Revision Committee
are working.
Mr. Klonower stated that if we can work out a quarterly
term bases, we might persuade school boards to release teachers
during the school year to pursue courses for professional improvement for an entire quarter.
Doctor Rowland stated that he was highly sympathetic with
the thoughts expressed concerning the matter of an extended or
lengthened summer session program and that he felt the Board might
suggest to Doctor Ade the appointment of a small committee of the
Board to think through this matter and report at a subsequent meeting or in time that something definite might be planned for the
summer session of 1S36.
Doctor Ade stated that if such a committee were appointed,
he would like to see it empowered with a broader function.
He felt
very definitely that there is another great uncultivated field,
namely, in-service teacher education. He suggested that the committee consider this matter and that it should be one of the parts
of a broader program to be developed.
-955-
Doctor Ade further stated he felt that the colleges were
doing excellent work with the pre- service program, but he felt that
as far as serving the needs of the Commonwealth for in-service education, we should have a much better and broader program.
On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Rowland it
was voted that the Superintendent appoint a committee to work out
some suggestive plan for an extended summer session program, as
well as, a more extended program for in-service preparation for the
teachers of the public schools.
Doctor Ade asked for suggestions as to the personnel of the
committee.
Doctor Allen stated that inasmuch as this problem is tied
up very definitely with the revision of curriculums which is a very
vital problem at the present time, he would like to suggest the
appointment of the Chairman of the Curri cular Revision Committee to
membership on this committee.
Doctor Foster suggested the appointment of Doctor Miller
and Doctor Ross to this committee.
Doctor Ade, therefore, appointed the following committee:
Doctor Miller, Chairman, Doctor Ross, Doctor Steele and Doctor Tanger,
and asked that they submit a report at the next meeting of the Board.
Doctor Rowland stated that we now have approximately forty
thousand teachers in Pennsylvania without the college degree and many
of them will ?/elcome an opportunity to come back into the institutions
under favorable conditions and complete their preparation for a degree,
Doctor Ade asked that the committee take into consideration
the comments made and prepare a report for the Board.

New Business
1.
Composite advertisement in the
Pennsylvania School Journal
Mr. Klonower explained that the contract with the Pennsylvania
State Education Association with respect to the composite advertisement
which appears on the back cover page of the School Journal for ten
issues, from September to and including June of each year, expired with
the June issue.
If the members of the Board wish to continue the composite advertisement, it is necessary to enter into a new contract.
Mr. Klonower further explained that this year there is to be a
change in the size of the School Journal and the rates will be increased
slightly.
Doctor Kelley as Executive Secretary of the Pennsylvania State
Education Association, had written Mr. Klonower a letter explaining the
new rates for the advertising space. A copy of the letter follows:

My dear Mr. Klonower:
We shall be very glad, indeed, to have the State Teachers
Colleges continue to use the back cover of the Journal for the composite advertisement for the school year 1935-36, as they have done
for the past few years.
As you know, the Executive Council is changing the
Pennsylvania School Journal beginning with the September issue to
a standard size of magazine, such as, Time,
a Journal 8-^" by llg "
The Literary Digest, and about twenty-one other State Education
Journals, thus a Journal which for eighty years, as far as format
is concerned, has been changeless amid unceasing change, succumbs
to the new order.
The Journal will be streamline in many respects
and will, without doubt, be a much more creditable house organ
than our present magazine.
,
The Chicago office of State Teachers Magazines, Inc.,
has provided us a new rate card based upon our new Journal. Our
new rate card and advertising prospectus are now in the hands of
the printer, but I will see that a copy of each is sent you as soon
as copies are available.
Our rates are up somewhat but this is the
first time that our rates have been changed since July, 1925, when
our circulation was 55,061.
Our circulation at the present time is
58,083 with a possible increase of 2,584, totaling 60,667, depending
upon legislation now pending to distribute the Journal to the 2,584
school board secretaries of the Commonwealth.
Should th-> Board of Teachers College Presidents feel that
the new rate for the back cover, $250,00, is too high, perhaps they
would be willing to shift to the inside of the front cover or the
inside of the back cover at ,£225.00 an issue.
The new regular full
page rate (not preferred position) is £200 an issue.
Assuring you of our great desire to continue the splendid
cooperation we have enjoyed with the State Teachers Colleges, I am
Very truly yours

Doctor Ade asked whether or not this ad could not be
changed from time to time in order to give more variety and
perhaps make it more forceful.
On motion of Doctor Ross, seconded by Doctor Foster it
that the composite advertisement of t he State Teachers
voted
was
Colleges be continued on the back cover page of the Pennsylvania
School Journal at the new rate of |250.00 an issue, beginning
with September 1935 and ending with June 1936, with the provision
that the form of the advertisement be changed from time to time.
2.
Meeting of Deans of Instruction
Mr. Klonower explained that some time ago the Board had
authorized a meeting of the Deans of Instruction, but because of
extenuating circumstances, the meeting was not held.
He further stated that from the point of view of the
work in the Teacher Division and because of interpretations that
have to be made from time to time, it would be extremely helpful
and professionally stimulating if a meeting of the Deans were
held each year.
On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Miller it
was voted that the meeting of the Deans of Instruction be held in
October during the time of the Education Congress.
3.
Expense accounts of the Presidents
Doctor Foster stated that he felt it was professionally
unsound to adopt a policy restricting the Presidents in the matter
of rendering service in their areas.
Expenses for such service
did not involve a great amount of money but there was a principle
involved. When a request was made for the President of the College
to render a service to any district within his service area, of course
in a professional matter, it should be granted and the expense considered a legitimate expense against the approved traveling item of
the College.
Doctor Rohrbach raised the question as to what should be
done with the expense accounts of the instructors in the Teachers
Colleges who go into the field and perform duties in connection with
their work at the College. There are cases when a local district
asks for help from the College and they do not have funds to pay
even as much as the traveling expenses, and in such cases the College
meets the expense, because it has been felt that such services are
professional in character and do represent legitimate expenditures
on the professional side of the institution.
-958-
Doctor Foster stated that there should be some policy
or statement to the effect as to what expenditures could be
charged against the traveling item of the approved budget as
far as the Presidents and instructors are concerned in order to
avoid any embarrassment in the future.
Doctor Ade informed the members of the Board that he
consider
the matter and advise the Presidents.

session classes. Orders could not be approved until such time

to prepare a "dummy" of some sort in anticipation of this delay.
5.
Student teaching credit for teachers
with five or more years of experience
in the public schools
Doctor Foster stated that this is becoming an increasingly difficult problem to handle because many teachers with
teaching experience are returning to the colleges to complete the
work for the degree and many of them have had a course at some
time or other in "practice teaching"; others feel that they should
be allowed to substitute successful teaching experience for this
requirement.
It would seem that in the light of the changing conditions, a change in policy with respect to the student teaching
requirement should be set up.
it appeared that
I*, many cases,
teachers with successful experience could take other courses in
lieu of the student teaching with considerable profit to themselves,
Doctor Rohrbach stated that he felt a very good way in
which this could be done, and which he had seen worked out very
satisfactorily, was to ask the teacher to work out an actual
project in the schoolroom where he or she was teaching under the
supervision of the Director of the Training School of the College.
V.hen the Director of the Training School was satisfied that the
project was a good one and produced results, then the institution
allowed credit for the student teaching requirement as required
for graduation by the college or university.
This, of course, was
only done in the case of teachers who had successful teaching
experience and it was felt they could profit more from such a
project than they could by repeating the student teaching course.
-959-
Doctor Rowland stated that he agreed with the thought
expressed by Doctor Rohrbach and that they had done this at
Shippensburg in one or two circumstances with experienced
teachers. He felt that it had worked out very satisfactorily.
He further suggested that the Curricular Revision
Committee might be the appropriate committee to take up this
matter and work out some uniform policy <?ith regard to the
student teaching requirement for experienced teachers.
Doctor Cameron stated that he heartily endorsed what
was outlined by Doctor Rohrbach. He felt that the need was to
bring these experienced teachers to a higher level in the
"techniques of teaching" and a project such as Doctor Rohrbach
outlined, he felt, would do this very thing.
Doctor Ross stated that he felt teachers vdth long
experience should be given some credit for that successful
teaching experience in the student teaching course.
Doctor Haas stated that he felt the reasonable solution to the problem is that the President of the institution or
Dean of Instruction, if he is the one to settle the question of
equivalents, should satisfy himself that the requirements of
the curriculum have been met by either taking the course or
compensating in the number of semester hours in other preparation.
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Rohrbach
voted that this matter be referred to the Curricular
Revision Committee with the suggestion that they bring in a report
at the next meeting of the Board.
This should be presented in a
concrete form and should take into consideration the whole question
of equivalent courses and who should assume the responsibility for
passing on equivalent courses.

Meetings of Teachers
-
bulletin
Mr. Klonower distributed an advance copy of the bulletin
"Meetings of Teachers" and stated that this concerned the State
Teachers Colleges in a very important way. The General Assembly
modified the Section of the School Code with reference to Institutes
which now makes it mandatory for the County Superintendent to call
together all the teachers of his County for a two-day session or
the equivalent of two days for professional meetings.
Prior to
this time the provision was permissive and not all County Superintendents held the Institute or its equivalent.
He pointed out that the "Meetings of Teachers" do afford
an additional professional opportunity for the State Teachers
Colleges to assume leadership in raising the quality of instruction
in the classroom.
-960-
Doctor Rowland asked that an interpretation be
"Each
secured on the following part of Section 2101:
Superintendent may also invite members of the teaching and
supervisory staffs of the other districts and of institutions of learning within the county to attend such meeting
or meetings."
He stated that the wording within the county
should have a little broader meaning than it would seem to
indicate. He asked whether an interpretation could be secured
concerning this wording.
Mr-.
Klonower stated that the interpretation would
be secured.

Curriculum
-
English Speech
Mr. Klonower stated that a curriculum in English
Speech had been received from the President of the State
Teachers College at Kutztown. The usual procedure had been
to refer all such matters to the Curri cular Revision Committee
for review and recommendation to the State Superintendent.
Doctor Rohrbach stated that this was not his impression.
He thougnt that sucn matters were referred to the State Council
of Education for approval or disapproval as had been done in the
case of Lock Haven when it applied for permission to establish a
curriculum in Health and Physical Education leading to the
baccalaureate degree.
Doctor Haas stated that up to the time Lock Haven had
applied for permission to offer the special curriculum in Health
and Physical Education the procedure as described by Mr. Klonower
had been in effect. The Curricular Revision Committee had
-961-
reviewed all the curriculums as to content, semester hour
distribution, et cetera, and that the allocation of the
curriculum to the institution v/as a function of the State
Superintendent and not the State Council of Education, if
and when money was available for the administration of the
curriculum.
Doctor Ross stated that he felt the members of
the Board should know when additional curriculums are approved
in the State Teachers Colleges.
Doctor Armstrong stated that he was aware of the
fact that their application for permission to offer the
special curriculum in Health and Physical Education had
caused some uneasiness and trouble, but they thought that the
proper procedure had been followed. Tney had been so advised
by the Superintendent of Public Instruction and had later been
inspected and investigated by the proper persons designated by
the State Council.
When the original application was made,
Doctor Armstrong stated, that he had written to each President
notifying him to the effect that they were applying for such
permission.
Doctor Haas asked that the Super intendent of Public
Instruction review tne policy which had been in effect with
reference to the allocation of special curri culums in the
State Teachers Colleges.
Doctor Ade stated that he would be glad to do this.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor
Miller it was voted that the Curriculum in English Speech presented by the State Teachers College at Kutztown be referred to
the Curricular Revision Committee for review and report at the
next meeting of the Board.

Health care of students - suggestions
from State Board of Medical Education
and Licensure
Mr. Klonover stated that a letter had been received
from Doctor I. D. Metzger, Chairman of the State Board of Medical
Education and Licensure, together with a copy of the outline
which he had submitted for the information of the members of the
Board a few years ago.
A copy of this outline suggesting the
duty of a physician employed for part-time or full-time service
in the State Teachers Colleges is found on pages 675 and 674 of
the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Presidents held May 13,
19 32.
-962-
It seemed that the institutions were following this
but
tnat due to budgetary limitations not all tho
outline,
institutions were able to employ full-time physicians in the
Colleges.

Miscellaneous
1.
Special case of student completing work in the
field of Science
Doctor Ade called the attention of the members of the Board to
a specific case where a graduate of one of the State Teachers Colleges
-965-
had been denied pre-professional credit for courses completed in
the field of Science.
He asked the members of the Board whether
in their judgment the work could be considered the equivalent of
academic courses completed elsev/here.
It was the unanimous opinion of the Board that since
the State Teachers Colleges were "accredited colleges by the
State Council of Education" courses completed in these institutions should be considered on the same basis as courses completed
in other "accredited colleges."
2.
Education Congress
-
October £-10, 1935
Doctor Ade called the attention of the members of the
Board of Presidents to the tentative plans that were being
developed for the program of the Education Congress to be held
October 9-10, 1935 in. Harris burg.
He stated that he had given some thought to the program
for this meeting and that it would be a good thing to make the
entire meeting professional.
He further stated that if any member of the Board of
Presidents had concrete suggestions to make with reference to
the development of the program, he Tvould appreciate it if the
Presidents would write directly to him.
The meeting adjourned at 1:30 o'clock.

Report of the Curri cul^r Revision Committee
A.
Revision of curri culums
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision
Committee, reported for the committee.
He stated that the committee had under consideration
the revision of curri culums for some time, but the committee
was not ready to make final recommendations at this time. He
asked that the President, or the Dean in the institutions
offering special curriculums, study the curriculum within his
institution and refer any suggestions with reference to modifications of such curriculums to him for consideration of the
entire committee.
He further stated that he had recently met with a
committee of the American Library Association and it was their
feeling that the eighteen semester hours in Library Science
v,ere entirely too few for a major in this field.
He asked
that the two institutions interested in the Library Science
Curriculum study this curriculum with the thought of increasing the eighteen semester hours to thirty semester hours which is
is the standard set by the American Library Association.
On motion of Doctor Rohrbach, seconded by Doctor
Straughn it was voted that the report of the Curri cular Revision
Committee with reference to Item A be accepted and any suggestions
made by the President be referred to the committee for further
study and report at the next meeting of the Board.
B.
Student t eaching c redit for teachers
with f ive or more years of experience
in the public schools
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Committee, stated that
the Curricular Revision Committee had held a special meeting
Thursday, September 19, 1935, to consider the subject of
student teaching credit for teachers ,7ith experience in the
public schools. The committee submitted the following recommendation:
"Candidates for a degree, who hold certificates
below the level of the Provisional College Certificate and who have had three or more years
teacning experience, may at the discretion of the
President, complete the remaining student teaching
-966-
requirements for the degree in any of the following
ways:(a)
Earn the number of hours required,
in the training school.
(b)

pursuit of a project in the
student's major field, under the
direction of the Director of the

the candidate must be regularly
registered in the college and may

semester hours credit in a single
semester including all courses
-
carried.
(c)
The substitution of such courses as
may be approved in the individual
case by the President, for not more
than half the student teaching
requirement. The remainder may be
or
earned as in (a) or (b) above,
in a combination of (a) and (b).
Provided, that no credit toward graduation may be
given for tenoning experience and provided further that
the college records and the transcript submitted to the
Teacher Division in support of the application for a
degree or for a college certificate, shall show plainly
the manner in which the remaining student teaching
requirement was discharged."
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Miller and
as amended by motion of Doctor Straughn, seconded by Doctor Haas,
it was voted tnat the report of the committee with reference to
credit for experience in the public schools be received and that
final action on the recommendations be deferred until the November
meeting of the Board.

Report of committee re "modification of
the lav/ for permanent certification in
Pennsylvania"
Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the Committee, reported
for the committee.
He felt that the committee could not make a definite
recommendation with respect to this matter until the contemplated
changes in the curriculums had been finally decided. He further
stated that the committee would keep the matter in mind and make
a recommendation just as soon as it was felt advisable.
On motion of Doctor Rowland,
seconded by Doctor Hill
it was voted that the report of the committee be received with
thanks.
3.
Report of committee re "recognition by
Middle States association"
Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the Committee, reported
for the committee.
He stated that the committee had no report to make,
but that they would like to know from time to time what progress
the several institutions are making with their application to
the Association.
Doctor Foster stated that he had received a letter
from the Secretary of the Association to the effect that the
application was received and would be given due consideration.
Doctor Straughn stated that he had written for an application upon which to apply for accreditment within the Association.
He also stated that Doctor McClelland, Secretary of the Association,
was of the opinion tnat consideration of the pending applications
would come up before the association at their October meeting and
probably some of the Presidents, if not all of them, would be
called before the Commission when the applications are reviewed.
Doctor Rohrbach stated that he felt the only question
which might arise and prove difficult, vrauld be the matter of
endowments.
This requirement as now set up in the standards for
-968-
accreditnent, the Colleges could undoubtedly not meet, but it
was likely that some modif ication would be made since the
State Teachers Colleges are State-owned and State-controlled
institutions.
Doctor Rowland stated that he felt this requirement
could be met very comfortably because the State Teachers Colleges
have the credit of the Commonwealth back of them and this surely
should overcor.ie the question of endowment and this also was the
sentiment expressed by Doctor McClelland when the committee met
..ith him some time ago.
Doctor Cameron stated that he had made application
for West Chester and that Doctor McClelland had intimated to
him that the requirements might be changed and that it would
be entirely possible for our Colleges to come in under the
standard requirements.
Doctor Rowland stated that as Chairman of the
Committee he appreciated very much the illuminating discussions
that had taken place. He further stated that it would be very
interesting for the Presidents to review the cause 7/hich brought
up this question of accreditnent and recognition by the Middle
States Association. This had not been a very serious problem
in the past because the number of graduates in the secondary
curriculum was small, but as this group of graduates increases
from time to time, the matter v/ill become more complicated.
Doctor Roaland asked if any additional Teachers
Colleges had applied for membership?
It appeared that the status was the same as at the
last meeting of the Board, Indiana, West Chester and Shipp ensburg were the only institutions which had made formal application.

Doctor Foster, Chairman of the Committee, reported
for the committee.
He stated that the matter had been raised at the last
meeting of the Board and the committee had submitted a very complete report to the Board and to the Superintendent for transmittal to the Attorney General.
Doctor Ade stated that the report of the committee
had been transmitted to the Office of the Attorney General, but
thus far that office had not been able to act on the case.

Doctor Hill stated that he would like to have the
committee on uniform fees consider the matter of an adjustment

especially concerned with the special fees for the Home
Economics and Industrial Arts Curriculums. He stated that
some of the better students who would make the best prospective
teachers are not able to pay what they think is an excessive
fee in these special curriculums.
Doctor Rowland suggested that it might be appropriate
to consider a special fee for Cheyney in these two special
fields since Cheyney is facing perhaps a unique situation and
should undoubtedly be encouraged to promote these two fields to
the fullest extent.
On motion of Doctor Rov.land, seconded by Doctor Hill
it was voted that the committee on uniform fees, deposits find
repayments review the fees in the special curriculums for all
schools and wit h special reference to Cheyney and report at
the next meeting of the Board.

R epo rt of committee re " pre- summer and
post- summer session for teachers in
service"
Doctor Killer, Chairman of the Committee, reported
for the committee.
He submitted the following report:
"The committee reporting on Pre- Summer and

Those
present were:
»
'
Doctor Land is Tanger
Doctor Robert ivl. Steele
Doctor Carmon Ross
Doctor C. S. Miller, Chairman
Henry Klonower, Chief, Teacher Division
The committee feels that the ultimate solution
of the problem with reference to the matter of supplying available facilities for teachers-in-service who
desire to complete the requirements of a four-year
teacher preparation program at an earlier date than
that which is nov possible because of the limited six
weeks summer session is the organization of the college
calendar en the quarter basis. The committee recognizes
-970-
the difficulties involved in making such a
change from the present program during this
biennium, but it recommends that a careful
study be made by each President of the
implications of such a program and that the
matter be given further consideration at the
January meeting of the Board of Presidents.
The committee requests permission to
study further the question and also report
on the feasibility of such a plan at the
January meeting. However, it is the committee's recommendation that immediate steps
should be taken to provide additional
instructional opportunities during the coming
summer session and, to carry out its recommendation, it suggests:
1.
That the 1936 summer session be six
weeks in length and that each college
have the option of offering a three
7/eeks pre- session or a three weeks
post-session.
2.
That the summer sessions open in
accordance with the recommendations
of the Calendar Committee.
3.
That the committee desires time for
study before making further recommendations on the larger problems
of professional service for the areas."
On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Cameron
it was voted that the report of the committee re pre- summer and postsummer session be received and that the Presidents study the report
as it affects the individual institutions and let the committee have
their suggestions and recommendations for a further report at the
next meeting of the Board.

bulletin
Mr. Klonower explained that tie General Assembly of 1935
amended Sections 2101 and 2102 of the School Laws with reference to
the meetings of teachers
.
v.as
He further stated that the interpretation of the sections
as follows:
"Such meetings of teaciiers must be called
by the County Superintendent and include the
teachers under his jurisdiction. He nay assemble
the teachers for two days or its equivalent each
year 'at such tine and pla ce as he nay deer.: most
convenient for the purpose of receiving instruction in the science and art of teaching.'
This
is to be interpreted literally.
Each superintendent nay invite nenbers of
the teaching and supervising staffs of other
districts and institutions of learning within
his county to attend such meetings, but it does
not necessarily restrict him from inviting
instructors from other places outside the county."

Membership in the American Council of Education
Doctor Rowland stated that ae had raised the question merely
for information. He stated that he did not want to be the only institution which did not belong to the Association or the only Teachers
College holding membership in the American Council of Education.
Doctor Haas stated that he would like to have some information
as to the advisability and advantages in holding membership in this
association.
Doctor Cameron stated that there are two classes of membership,
the institutional membership and the individual membership.
The various
associations throughout the United States are members. Representatives
are sent to the annual meeting each year.
This meeting is usually held
on Friday and Saturday of May each year.
The fee for membership is
$50 00
.
Doctor Foster stated that he had attended the meeting in May
of this year and that he felt it was ell worth while to belong to the
Association and also to attend their meetings whenever possible.
v.
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Rowland it was
voted that Doctor ^de appoint a small committee of the Board to make
an investigation as to the purpose, procedures and benefits of the
American Council of Education, and also whether the Board as a whole
could become a member or if the individual institutions had to apply
for membership.
Doctor Ahe therefore appointed the following committee to
study this problem and report at the next meeting of the Board: Doctor
Foster, Chairman, and Doctor Cameron.

Student teaching in s chool d is tricts without
properly certificated teacher s
Mr. Klonower stated that the tendeacy was growing to use
students who were attempting to complete the student teaching requirement of an accredited institution in school districts without the
supervision of a properly certificated teacher in the classroom.
In
some districts, this situation had even gone so far that the district
had dismissed experienced certificated teachers and used the studentteachers, thereby saving considerable money.
He pointed out that it
was not legal to have & teacher teach in any public school without
-974-
proper certification and that it also was not permissible to have
student- teacaers in a school without proper supervision.
He further stated that in no case should a studentteacher who is trying to meet the student teaahing requirement of
an accredited institution be allowed to replace an experienced
certificated teacher in any school district. The School Lav;
specifically states that no teacher may teach in the public schools
without proper certification.

Restoration of the salary schedule
Mr. Klonower called attention to the fact that in
September the Edmonds *.ct restored the salary cuts to the teachers
in the public schools.
He raised the question whether the State
Teachers Colleges should not restore salary cuts.

in accordance with the set-up of the budgets, this matter was

certain projects had been approved under the P.W.A. and that
piojects running over the ten thousand dollar mark v.oulu have to
be supervised by the Department of Property and Supplies and
architects employed for the project.
Doctor Rowland stated that at the last meeting of tne
Board it was felt that the amount set aside to take care of tne
recommendations made by the Department of Labor and Industry could
be reduced somewhat and that the original amount of $300,000.00
could be cut down if it were possible to be exempted from certain
recommendations at this time.

and sane regulation Vvith reference to smoking in the dormitories.
Doctor Straughn stated that he thought this tendency
could be curbed somewhat if the fire hazards were pointed out to
the students.
The matter is one of administration.
13.
Development of minors in secondary curriculum
Doctor Ross stated that he had asked for this item to be
placed on the docket for consideration by the Board. He felt that
institutions which do not offer the special curriculums should be
allowed to offer a major of eighteen semester hours in certain of
the special fields such as Health and Physical Education and Commercial Education.
He stated that it is possible for a graduate of the
secondary curriculum to go to another institution and take eighteen
semester hours in a special field such as Art, Music, Health,
Commercial Education, et cetera, and thereby have this subject
placed on the certificate to teach. He explained that if such an
arrangement could be worked out, that is, just for teaching and not
-977-
supervision, he felt it would be a great benefit to the State
Teachers Colleges.
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Straughn
it was voted that the "development of minors in the secondary
curriculum" be referred to the Curricular Revision Committee and
that they be instructed to submit a report at the next meeting of
the Board.
14.
Education Congress
-
October 9-10, 1955
Doctor Ade explained that the preliminary announcement
had gone out and there was no further statement at this time.
The Public Education Bulletin of the Department contained a brief
statement concerning the Congress and a further detailed statement would be included in the October issue of the bulletin
which would be in the mails about October 2, 1935.
He further stated that an effort was made this year to
discuss trends in education throughout the United States and with
special emphasis to the program in Pennsylvania. The Program
Committee believes that it has developed an interesting program
and that the speakers will have worth while messages.
15
Joint meeting of Liberal Arts Colleges and
State Teachers Colleges - October 25, 1935
Doctor Ade briefly reviewed the minutes of the previous
meetings of the "Joint Meeting of the Association of Liberal Arts
Colleges and State Teachers Colleges" and stated that he r.as
anxious to be kept informed concerning this matter because of the
meeting to be held in Harrisburg October 23, 1935.
He further stated that his notion of the whole matter
of teacher preparation in Pennsylvania was that whichever institutions or group of institutions could do the best piece of v.ork for
the public schools, those institutions should be given the job of
preparing teachers for the public schools.
Doctor Rowland stated that he felt there v.as a problem
of constantly lifting the standards and giving some inducement to
those teachers who lack the four years of preparation to return
to the institutions and complete a four- year curriculum.
Doctor ^.de asked what was the honest opinion with
reference to the four-year level for all elementary teachers?
Doctor Cameron stated that we have at the present time
approximately forty thousand teachers who are on less than a fouryear basis and many of these teachers ara now attending the summer
-978-
sessions and Saturday classes to advance themselves professionally.
Doctor Ade stated that he felt this whole matter was
summed up in the question "How can we get the best teachers for
the public schools of this Commonwealth?"
16.
Tentative Enrollments in the State Teachers
Colleges
Mr. Klonower stated that the tentative enrollments were
compiled to meet a need for the fiscal office in connection with
the budget situation.
He asked that not any publicity be given to
the figures and that they be used for administrative purposes only.
H.hen the figures are received as of October 15, 1935, the usual
compilation will be made and the charts distributed.

II.
Unfinished Business
A.
Report of the Curricular Revision Committee
1.
Revision of Curriculum
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision
reported
Committee,
for the committee.
He stated that there was no further report on this
item at the present time. The committee is considering the
revision of the curriculums, but is not ready to make recommendations to the Board.
2
Student teaching credit for teachers
with five or more years of exp eri ence
in the public schools
Doctor Steele referred to the report of the committee
with reference to this item as found on pages 966 and 967 of the
previous minutes of the meeting of the Board.
He stated that he would like to have the reactions of
the members of the Board to the recommendations.
On motion of Doctor Cameron, seconded by Doctor Miller,
was voted that the recommendations with reference to the matter
of accepting equivalent preparation in lieu of student teaching as
recommended by the Curricular Revision Committee under date of
September 20, 1935 be approved.
it
Doctor Hill stated that he did not feel sympathetic
with the suggestion that credit for teaching experience toward
graduation may not be granted. He explained that in some cases
teachers with successful teaching experience desired to return to
the institution and complete the work for the degree. Where
credit is not granted for teaching experience, it ;.orks a hardship
and is somewhat unreasonable. He felt that the evaluation of suca
experience should be left to the President or the Dean of Instruction and that such oases should be decided on individual merits.
-981-
Doctor Ross asked whether replies were received in
response to the letter sent to the Deans of Instruction and
what were the reactions?
Doctor Steele stated that the Deans did not quite agree
as to the method by which this student teaching should be
completed.
The replies received were so diversified, he felt
the matter should be brought up again for discussion.
Doctor Foster explained that he had gone over this
very
matter
thoroughly v>ith Dean Walsh and several suggestions
grew out of the discussion which he would be glad to give to
the Chairman of the Curricular Revision Committee for consideration. He stated that one very important question had come up at
Indiana, namely, whether or not the standards set up by the
American Association of Teachers Colleges for supervised practice
teaching would be met.
Doctor Haas suggested that there be added to the
recommendations the phrase, "provided that in any case the
standards of the American Association of Teachers Colleges
for supervised practice teaching must be met."
Doctor Tanger stated that he felt the group that started
to teach on the State Standard Limited Certificate had begun with
the thought of continuing their preparation until four years will
have been completed. A great many of these teachers are teaching
in districts where the supervision is not so close.
Many such
teachers are in rural sections where it is not possible to give
much supervision. For this reason, perhaps it would be better to
have this particular group complete the student teaching requirements as prescribed.
Doctor Steele stated that the principle involved was
whether each case should be treated as an individual case; the
President and the Dean of Instruction study the case and advise
what is needed in the particular case involved to make a better
prepared teacher for the public schools.
Doctor Haas asked whether the Deans of Instruction
discussed the matter at their recent meeting.
Doctor Steele stated that the matter was discussed, but
the Deans did not come to a common agreement with respect tc the
additional student teaching required for experienced teachers who
return to the institutions to complete the requirements for the
degree.
Doctor Haas stated he felt that the question should be
given more thought and that some of the suggestions made by Doctor
Foster should be studied. He suggested that the matter be referred
to the Curricular Revision Committee for a further report at the
next meeting of the Board.
-982-
.
Doctor Cameron stated that he was willing to withdraw
his motion because it was made with the thought of getting the
matter before the Board for discussion and not with the idea of
closing the subject without further discussion.
Doctor Miller also agreed to withdraw his second to the
motion.
On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Hill, it
was voted that the question of student teaching credit for teachers
with five or more years of experience in the public schools be
referred again to the Curricular Revision Committee for further
study and report at the next meeting of the Board.
3.
Curriculum
-
English Speech
Doctor Steele stated that a committee had been appointed by
the State Council of Education to investigate the general problem
that is involved in the matter of additional curriculums or the
extension of curriculums. The Curricular Revision Committee,
therefore, felt it inadvisable at this time to make any recommendations in light of the work of this special committee and will await
the report of the committee to the State Council of Education.
Doctor Ross asked whether the Board could be advised today
as to the personnel of the Committee?
Mr. Klonower stated that the State Council had appointed
Doctor LeRoy A. King to represent the Council and Doctor Ade had
assigned the Secretary of the Board of Presidents as the other
member.
He explained that the committee expected to make a
preliminary study within tiie next month.
4
Development of Minors in the
Secondary Curriculum
Doctor Steele stated that the Curricular Revision Committee
would hold in abeyance their report on this item until the special
committee of the State Council of Education had made a report with
reference to the extension of the curriculums.
On motion of Doctor Riemer, seconded by Doctor filler, it
was voted that the report of the Curricular Revision Committee as
submitted by the Chairman, Doctor Steele, be received with thanks.

Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the Committee, reported for
the committee.
He stated that ne had received a letter from Doctor V/ilson
Farrand Chairman of the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education, in which he acknowledged receipt of the applications of
those State Teachers Colleges that had made application for admission
to the Middle States Association.
He suggested in his letter to
Doctor Rowland that the Board of Presidents of the State Teachers
Colleges arrange to have representation at a meeting of the Commission
which will be held Tuesday, November 19, 1935 in Philadelphia.
,
Doctor Cameron stated that he had b3en in touch ith Doctor
Farrand and had had a very satisfactory talk with him. He felt that
it would be a good thing for the entire committee to arrange to be
present at the meeting in Philadelphia.
v.
Doctor Rowland was of the opinion that the Teachers Colleges
eventually receive the recognition they deserve in order to be
accredited, but it would undoubtedly take some time. Hov.ever, he
felt this was the best that could be done for the present and he
asked Doctor Cameron to complete arrangements for the appearance of
the entire committee before the commission on Tuesday, November 19,
1935 at 2:30 o'clock, in the Trustees' Room of College Hall,
University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.
v.ould
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Cameron, it
was voted that the matter be referred to Doctor Rowland, Chairman of
the Committee, with the suggestion that he arrange to have representation at the meeting to be held in Philadelphia, Tuesday,
November 19, 1935.
D.
Report of committee ro "u niform fees,
deposits and repayments in t he State
Teachers Colleges" - Activity Fee
Doctor Foster, Chairman of the Committee, reported for the
committee.
He stated that there as no change in the status of the
situation.
The matter had been referred to the Office of the
Attorney General through the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
No report had been received to clarify the situation.
;.
Doctor Steele stated that this matter -as called to the
attention of the Auditorswhen the regular audit war made at the
State Teacners College, California, and the Auditors agreed to
include a statement relative to the activity fees in the audit.
In
tnis \.ay they might be able to get an opinion from the Attorney
General's Office.

On motion of Loctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Riemer,

it
He port of co mm ittee re "pre- summer and post- summer
session for teachers in service "
Doctor Miller, Chairman of the Committee, reported for the
committee.
He stated that the committee had no further report to make
since he had not reaeived many replies to the suggestion made at the
September meeting of the Board, namely, that each President make a
study of the situation in his service area and advise the committee.
If this information is received, the committee will have a detailed
report to present at the January meeting of the Board of Presidents.
Doctor Rowland stated that he had circularized his service
area and those in the area favored a six reeks session plus a three
weeks session.
Doctor Steele stated that the Deans of Instruction had
considered this subject at their meeting and that they favored a
six eeks session plus a three weeks post- session.
They had
discussed this question at some length and ssemed to agree that a
six v,eeks session and a three weeks session as separate units,
rather than a nine weeks session, would be better for administrative
purposes.
v.
Doctor Haas raised a question concerning the salary for the
additional three weeks session; would it be increased for the three
weeks session on a pro rata basis, that is, one-half of the regular
six weeks salary or one- twelfth of the thirty- six "weeks salary. He
felt this should be considered at once because it would have to be
taken care of in some maimer on the Salary Qualification Schedule
v.hich now includes only the regular session of thirty- six veeks and
the summer session of six v.eehs.
Doctor Miller stated that this was a phase of the question
which probably ougnt to be considered by the Committee on Salary.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Miller, it
was vote d to accept the report of the committee and authorize them
to continue the study and make a further report at the January meeting
of the Board as originally planned.

R eport of the committee re '''Membership in
the American Council on Education" -
Doctor
C.
S. Marsh
Doctor Foster, Chairman of the Committee, reported
for the committee.
He indicated that he had written to Doctor Zook,
President of the American Council on Education and invited him
to attend the meeting of the Board of Presidents of the State
Teachers Colleges. Doctor Zook replied that he appreciated the
invitation but it was not possible for him to attend. He would
be glad to send Doctor Marsh to tell the members some of the
things the Council was attempting to do, and the benefits
derived from being a member of the American Council on Education.
Doctor C. S. Marsh, Associate Director of the American
Council on Education, appeared before the Board.
He said in part;
"I appreciate the invitation to come before the members
of the Board of Presidents of your State Teachers Colleges and give
you v.hat information I can concerning the membership, organization
and purpose of the American Council on Education.
I shall center
my remarks around three points, (1) What is the American Council on
Education, (2) What are its objectives, and (3) What the American
Council is doing.
(1) The American Council on Education is an organization
of Institutions and Associations, Colleges and Universities, Teachers
Colleges, Technical Institutions and Accrediting Agencies.
It has
no individual membership by person, but rather by institution,
association or accrediting agency. The total membership now is
around three hundred and fifty institutions or associations. At
the present time, I believe there are but thirteen Teachers Colleges,
However, all the Teachers Colleges are eligible to membership in the
Council.
In the executive meeting of the Council, the Council voted
to put the Association of Teachers Colleges on the same basis as
other accredited associations and then following that action, we sent
out a letter of information to the various Teachers Colleges to join
the Association.
The price of the institutional membership is $50.00
per year.
The general objective of the American Council on
(2)
Education is to advance American education in any and all its
•987-
*.
phases through comprehensive, voluntary action on the part of
institutions and in the fulfillment of that purpose to initiate
research projects, experimental programs and other similar enterprises as may be approved from time to time by the Council.
Doctor Zook brought together about ten days ago a group
consider the general question of the relationship of the school
program to the building construction program. Doctor Zook thought
it might be well to get under way such a study in conformity with
the building code.
It was felt advisable to have a more intelligent
picture of what a school building ought to be with due regard to the
curriculum and the recent changes in public education. There seems
to be very little activity along this line at the present time. The
architects are busy with drawings and plans, but there seems to be a
need for that agency and the educators to get together for a
comprehensive study.
to
Another of the very important projects under way at this
time is the American Youth Commission.
This is a project in which
we expect to spend about one-half million dollars.
It is a five-year
program and we expect great things from this study.
We have a small appropriation so far for a Motion Picture
Institute, but prospects are good for a rather substantial fund for
this project as it affects education in general. There is nowhere
any compilation of materials of educational pictures. Under this
heading will come the subject of Visual Education and the practices
involved in teaching Visual Education.
The American Council on Education publishes a Journal
quarterly and an educational hand-book every four years. We are
working on a revision of that book now and the Teachers Colleges
of Pennsylvania will be in it.
We think it represents one of the
most authoritative documents on education in the world.
We have a group working on a Cooperative Test Service.
The Council has sponsored this to the amount of a half million
dollars and the project will extend over a ten-year period.
It is
now in its sixth year and gives promise of being a great piece of
work when completed.
We have a number of committees operating; one of particular
interest at the present time is the Committee on International Aspects
of Education.
We have just set up a Committee on Academic Freedom and
Social Responsibility. There is much to be done in this field.
There is a proposal to compile a dictionary of educational
terms. This is something the educational field needs desperately. No
publisher will undertake to compile such a volume because it does not
look like a good commission project for the publishers.
-988-
The Council is now attempting a study of Educational
Research covering tiie last twenty years. They want to bring
together, interpret and «orrelate the efforts of educational
research so that in the compass of one or two volumes we will
find all the things written on the curriculum.
A study is under way concerning the place and purpose
of radio in our educational program.
Another project on which we are working, but on which
we have not yet made any public mention is the matter of research
fellowships in the field of education.
A study of the Master's Degree in the United States has
been started.
I, personally, and two assistants have been at work
on this for some time.
It is surprising under what conditions and
pressures the master's degree has been granted. We could go on
and elaborate on this point for some time, but when the volume is
completed, I am sure it will give many of us something v.orth while
to think about."
Doctor Marsh in closing his remarks stated that Doctor
Zook as President of the Council had sent a message for the Presidents
to the effect that he was greatly interested in all their problems of
education and noped that the American Council on Education might be
enriched by such membership as that of the Presidents of the State
Teachers Colleges of Pennsylvania.
If and when the Presidents do take
out membership in the Council, they will be asked to participate in
any studies that are made and of course in turn will receive the
benefit of such studies.
He pointed out that if the Presidents had a problem and
wanted to consult the American Council at any time, they were to
feel free to do so.
Doctor Foster suggested that the Board of Presidents give
Marsh for his interesting presentation.
The Board expressed its gratitude to Doctor Marsh for the helpful
information which he brought to the members.
a vote of thanks to Doctor
On motion of Doctor Foster, seconded by Doctor Steele, it
was voted that the Board of Presidents suggest to the State Superintendent that he approve requisitions for institutional membership
in the American Council on Education.
H.
Report of committee on Athletics re "Transfer
s tudents, Athletic scholarships, Professionalism
and Spring and Pre- summer football training"
,
Doctor Allen, Chairman of the Committee, reported for the
committee,
He explained that the committee had been instructed at the
last meeting of the Board to make a compilation of the present rules
-989-
and regulations governing athletic competition and forward the same
to each President Tor study and suggested revision.
As a result of the suggestions received, the committee
recommended a slight change in Section 8 of the regulations; the
section will therefore read as follows:
"No student transferring from any four-year institution of collegiate rank, except from a regularly
accredited Junior College, to a State Teachers
College shall be eligible for any intercollegiate
competition until after a year of residence. Where
one year intervenes between attendance at an institution of collegiate rank and matriculation in a
State Teachers College, a student so enrolled is
not to be considered as a transfer and shall be
eligible for participation in athletics."
On motion of Doctor Tanger, seconded by Doctor Cameron, it
was voted that final action on this recommendation be postponed until
the next meeting of the Board and that in the meantime the Chairman of
the Committee submit in writing to each President a copy of the
recommendation for study.
Doctor Allen stated that the committee did not have a report
to make on "Athletic Scholarships",
"Professionalism", or "Spring and
Pre- summer football training", but that he had suggested the inclusion
of these items on the docket for purposes of discussion.
He explained that it was the general understanding of the
members of the Board that no athletic scholarships are available in
the Teachers Colleges.
The committee called attention to Section 6 and stated that
while the section did not specifically mention "Professionalism", it
ha_d always been interpreted to include the term "professional".
On motion of Doctor Foster, seconded by Doctor Steele, it
was voted that the Athletic Committee be directed to make further
investigation concerning certain alleged facts with reference to the
management of athletics in the institutions and that a specific report
be made at the next meeting of the Board*
Doctor Allen further stated it was his understanding that the
members of the Board were very definitely instructed by a past Superintendent of Public Instruction that there should be no spring or presummer training. This means that the dormitories are not to be opened
until the dates indicated on the uniform calendar.
-990-
Doctor Cameroon stated that they allowed the boys to
come in a day or two before college opened in order to practice
and it had not caused difficulty so far because the students
who do come in for this purpose, secure their meals in the town.
Dean McClelland indicated that they had done this at
Kutztown and as Doctor Cameron had stated, no difficulty had
arisen from the practice.
I
.
Report of committee re "transportation busses"
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Committee, reported for
the committee.
He stated that they are now working on specifications
and it looks as if six busses will be purchased as the first
assignment and that next year seven additional busses will be
purchased if the plan works out satisfactorily.
Doctor Steele further stated that the committee did not
see how it could allocate six busses to fourteen institutions and
obviously have everyone satisfied so they had recommended that the
allocation be made by the Department of Public Instruction. He
further stated, however, that the type of bus tentatively agreed
upon was a Chevrolet bus, rather sturdily built and one which
would comfortably seat between thirty and thirty-five persons.
Mr. Harlacher of the Bureau of Motor Vehicles stated that he was
well pleased with the type of bus that had been developed for this
purpose and they had about decided upon the general specifications.
Mr. Klonower stated that he and Mr. Crosley had conferred
a number of times with Doctor Ade with reference to the allocation
of the first assignment of busses to the State Teachers Colleges
and they had tried to allot these busses on the basis of the need,
currioilums offered within the college and other transportation
facilities available to and from the college.
J.
Amusement Tax as it affects the State Teachers
Colleges - Mr. Gavi n
Doctor Haas stated that he had raised the question because
it seemed that the regulations were interpreted differently in the
several institutions and he felt that the regulations should be
applied uniformly in all tne Teachers Colleges.
He further stated that he had two questions which he would
like answered; first, what activities are taxable; second, how should
requests for exemptions be made?
Mr. Hill, ^.cting Assistant Director, and Mr. Gavin, Counselor
in the Amusement Tax Division of the Revenue Department appeared before
the Board and explained that there are exemptions available for certain
-991-
kinds of entertainments which are purely educational or religious
in character, but that athletic activities for which an admission
fee is charged are taxable, and may not be exempt.
Mr. Hill asked whether his understanding of the situation is correct; that is, all the activities carried on within
the college are under the general jurisdiction of the college
itself?
Doctor Foster stated that this money is not paid into
the State Treasury but is paid into the Student Cooperative
Association.
Doctor Haas stated that there is a large student
organization and within that organization, smaller groups of
organizations, but each group has as its advisor a faculty member.
Mr. Hill explained that in no case are the student
tickets taxable nor are the faculty tickets taxable, but where
there is a charge for admission fee to outsiders, that fee is
taxable. He further stated that the institutions are required
to take out separate perr.iits for the athletic contests, that is,
one for football, one for basketball, et cetera.
Sach institution must take out an exemption that will cover all the activities
of the school or its subsidiary organizations.
Doctor Foster stated that he felt the misunderstanding
had come about due to the fact that several of the institutions
had exemptions for certain activities and the remaining institutions were not exempt from the taxes on the same activities.
Mr. Hill stated that this situation would be corrected.
Doctor Hill of Cheyney stated that sometimes they ask
for a voluntary contribution from by-standers and wondered whether
or not this amount was taxable.
Mr. Kill of the Revenue Department stated that it could
not be taxed because there was no regular admission fee.
Doctor Haas explained that they wanted to invite the
boys from the C.C.C. camps to attend some of the athletic games
because they felt it was good for them to have this kind of
recreation and at the same time they did not want to charge an
admission to this group.
Mr. Hill replied that if they did not charge an admission
fee, then they could not collect the tax.
-992-
Mr. Gavin indicated that the permits and exemptions were
good for the calendar year and suggested that the institutions
apply for the permits and exemptions in December of this year so
that the papers are in their hands January 1, 1936 for the entire
year 1936.
Mr. Hill stated that a copy of the Amusement Tax Act
Regulations in printed form would be mailed to each State Teachers
These regulations, he felt, would answer all the questions
College.
If such were
and clear up any doubt in the minds of the Presidents.
not the case, he suggested that the Presidents write directly to him
in the Revenue Department and they would be very glad to assist in
any way possible.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Ross, it
was voted that the Board of Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges
extend a vote of thanks and appreciation for the very helpful advice
given by Mr. Hill and Mr. Gavin in this difficult problem.
K*
Policy re extension courses for non-public
school groups
Mr. Klonower stated that this matter had been referred to
the Office of the Attorney General and that a reply had not been
received.
Therefore, the status was the same as at the last Board
meeting.
L.
Resolution of the Associatio n o f Liberal Arts
Colleges and State Teachers Colleges in
Pennsylvania for the Advancement of Teaching
In reporting to the Board on the meeting of the Association
of Liberal Arts Colleges for the Advancement of Teaching and of the
State Teachers Colleges in joint Conference on October £3, 1935 in
the Education Building, Harrisburg, Mr. Klonower briefly sketched the
discussion that took place and then read a resolution which was
presented by a small committee appointed by the conference.
The resolution follows:
"Be it resolved that it is the sentiment of the Association
of Liberal Arts Colleges for the Advancement of Teaching
and of the State Teachers Colleges in joint conference
October 23, 1935 that:
The minimum post-high school education of
teachers for the elementary field be four
years; for the secondary field, five years;
that the State Superintendent of Public
Instruction and the State Council of Education
cooperating with all interested agencies be
urged, at the earliest possible moment, to
take the necessary ways and means to make
these desirable goals possible."
-993-
The Board adjourned for luncheon at 12:20 and reconvened
at 1:30 o'clock.

New Business
A.
Increased requirements for the State Standard
L imited Certificate
Mr. Klonower stated that the suggestion had been made byteachers, administrative officers and representatives of teacher
education institutions that the minimum requirement for the
issuance of the State Standard Limited Certificate be raised from
two years of preparation to three years for the initial issue, but
that all the other requirements for its renewal be maintained as
now pre scribed.
He further stated that it seemed advisable before any
definite action was taken to secure the best judgment of the
college presidents, superintendents and supervising principals
and that, therefore, a letter had been prepared outlining the
resolution which would be sent out for suggestions and criticisms.
Doctor Rowland stated that he did not feel it was necessary
to take this intermediate step, but rather that we could go
immediately to the four year level for all teachers.
Mr. Klonower stated that if and when the Superintendent
of Public Instruction approved, such a letter would be sent out and
the members of the Board would be advised from time to time concerning the situation.
B.
Nursery Schools as a part of the demonstration
and laboratory opportunities in the State
Teachers College s
Mr. Klonower stated that we had hoped to have by this
time a statement as to what constitutes a standard Nursery School.
In two of the institutions a Nursery School had been operated very
successfully for the kindergarten-primary and intermediate groups.
Doctor Ade was interested in this situation and he had discussed
it with Mr. Klonower and the Presidents of the Colleges which had
operated the Nursery Schools.
Doctor Rowland stated that they had operated a Nursery
School as a part of the observation and demonstration school and
had children from the ages of eighteen months to twenty years. He
felt that this activity should be considered very definitely as a
part of the regular program.
Mr. Klonower suggested that the item be placed on the
docket for further discussion at the next meeting of the Board.
-994-
C.
Modification of the enrollment report on page 3
.
Doctor Steele stated that he felt the Board should
authorize a small committee of two to work with the Teacher
Division in the modification of the enrollment report. This
modification and correction was made necessary due to certain
changes in the curriculums since the enrollment report was
originally prepared.
On motion of Doctor Allen,, seconded by Doctor Ross, it
vct ed that the State Superintendent be asked to appoint a
committee" of two to work with the Teacher Division of the Department in bringing the enrollment report blank in line with the
recent cnanges in the curriculums.vvas

Facts and Comments Regarding the State
Teachers Colleges
This item referred to the report prepared by
Riemer and his committee for presentation to the State
and the members of the Joint Committee of Liberal Arts
Presidents and State Teachers College Presidents. Mr.

graphing the report for distribution to the members of
committee who had attended the meeting.

It was pointed out that the report is no\'<- in mimeographed

Doctor Allen stated that he felt all the Presidents were
appreciative of the effort made by Doctor Riemer and his committee
in compiling this report, but he wondered if the group receiving
the report would construe it to mean that each of the presidents of
the State Teachers Colleges had given his approval to the complete
report.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Riemer,
it was voted that the report "Facts and Comments Regarding the State
Teachers Colleges" be given careful consideration by each of the
Presidents and that it be discussed again at the next meeting of the
Board, but that no distribution be made in the meantime.
E.
Service Areas of the State Teachers Colleges
Doctor Rowland stated that they had had some correspondence
with reference to the service areas of the State Teachers Colleges
and especially where the counties were shared by two or more
institutions.
-995-
h
The present service areas have been in effect since
1920 and it seems advisable to have a study made of the service
areas in connection with improved roads, recent railroad, and
bus developments.
A copy of the service areas as developed in 1920
follows page 998 as Exhibit "A".
Doctor Rowland also stated that the population figures
needed revision, because it is very likely that these have changed
considerably in the several counties. He suggested that a small
committee be appointed to review the situation.
Doctor Haas stated that he felt if such a committee
were appointed, they should take into consideration the special
curriculums offered in the several institutions.
On motion of Doctor Rowland,
seconded by Doctor Tanger,
Superintendent be asked to appoint a
small committee to review and bring up to date the service area
allocations and also to study the question of special curricula
offered in the several institutions.

lime limit for the issuance of
Standard Limited Certificate

e
State
Doctor Rowland stated that this item was placed on the
docket at his suggestion and he wanted to offer a resolution for
the consideration of the Board, but not with the thought of having
it acted upon officially.
The resolution follows:
"WHEREAS, a minimum of four years of post high
school preparation for teaching has been
recommended by the Board of Presidents, the
Association of Liberal Arts Colleges for the
Advancement of Teaching and other professional
bodies, and has been favorably considered by
the State Council of Education, and
WHEREAS, the State Standard Limited Certificate
issued on the basis of two years of post high
school preparation represents less than an
adequate preparation for a teacher, and
-996-
'WHEREAS, there exists no shortage in the supply
of teachers in Pennsylvania to justify the
continued issuance of this certificate, and
many if not most of the young people
now preparing for this certification would, to
their own. substantial profit and the improvement
of the public school service, undertake a four year
preparation if required to do so, be it therefore
VtfHEREAS,
RESOLVED, that it be the sense of this Board that
the further issue of the State Standard Limited
Certificate may with propriety be discontinued,
and be it further
RESOLVED, that this Board respectfully recommend
to the State Council of Education the discontinuance
of the issue of this certificate as of. September 1,
except for such persons as shall have entered
1937
upon a preparation for this certification prior to
that date."
,
Doctor Rowland stated that he felt some definite
action should be taken relative to the discontinuance of the issue
of this certificate.
No action was taken by the board.
H
.
Aids to prospective rural school teachers
Doctor Kiemer stated that he had reference to the
course of study in Social Studies for the preparation of teachers
of Grades 4, 5 and 6.
This course makes no provision for the
teaching of history covering the period before 1500, but when you
come to the course of study prepared by the Department, it does
suggest this preparation.
On motion of Doctor Riemer, seconded by Doctor Armstrong,
it was voted to refer tnis matter to the Curricular Revision Committee
for study and report at the next meeting of the Board.

Committee on Allocations
Doctor Ade suggested the appointment of a sms.ll committee
of the Board to assist him in devising a procedure for the allocation
of the unexpended amounts of money in the appropriation to the State
Teachers Colleges for the fiscal year 1935-36.
Doctor Foster stated that he would like to see this committee
consider the matter of restoring a part or all of the salary reductions
of the instructors in the institutions.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Allen, it was
voted that the State Superintendent be authorized to appoint a committee to assist him in the development of a plan by which the
unexpended money in the budget for the fiscal year 1935-36 might be
allocated to the State Teachers Colleges.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION
Harrisburg
Exhibit "B"
November 15, 1935
To the Presidents of State Teachers Colleges:
All "special bid" State printing requisitions, including those from State Teachers
Colleges, are being handled by the Bureau of Publications in strict observance of
This means that it takes from six to eight weeks following
the letter of the lav/.
receipt of a requisition before the printing can be placed under contract.
Approval of every contract must be obtained from the auditor General, State
Treasurer, Secretary of Property fend Supplies, Attorney General, Budget Secretary,
and the Governor.
It is advisable to write requisitions immediately for 1956 GENERAL and SUMMER
SESSION catalogues and other official State-printed publications, even though
manuscript is not ready. The following steps are suggested:
1.
Determine whether or not there will be more or fewer 6" x 9" pages in 1936
catalogues than in the 1935 editions, and the number of cuts each will
contain, (estimate number of pages in multiples of 4).
2.
Determine the number of copies needed.
3.
Determine whether or not the size of body type will be the same as in the
1935 issues.
4.
Will the binding be the same (side wire stitched or saddle wire stitched)?
5.
If cuts are to be inserted on a different paper, how many inserts will
there be?
6.
Determine if cover paper and inside paper are to be the same as in the 1935
issues, and if not, indicate cnoi ce (cover paper choice is limited to
Eammermill Cover or its equivalent - indicate color).
7.
Provide at least five copies of each of the 1935 catalogues to send with
the requisition.
8.
Write the requisition, giving the necessary information as determined from
the seven preceding steps.
On it give the names of at least three local
or nearby printers whom you desire to have opportunity to bid.
9.
Write an accompanying letter to go with the requisition and five sample
copies, addressed to Mr. I. Paul Linn, Director, Bureau of Publications,
Department of Property and Supplies, giving such specific information as
you desire in the handling of each catalogue, and asking that he start
the requisition through so as to avoid loss of time in printing.
lO.
Send your requisition, your letter to Mir. Linn, and your sample copies to
me for checking, and they will be forwarded promptly to the Bureau of
Publications.
If your proposed publications are to be virtually the same
as for K35, your task is very easy.
Simply write the requisition on the
basis of "same size and format as 1935 catalogue" and send samples.
Later, when manuscript is ready, send it to me for final checking and approval. Copy
must be sent to printers through the Department Editor and the Bureau of Publications,
Sincerely yours
Donald M. Cresswell, Editor
Department of Public Instruction

The items on the docket were then taken up seriatim.
I.
Some suggestive ways to make more effective the service of the office
of a Dean of Instruction.
(This topic was discussed briefly at the close of the conference^.
See Item XI.
-2-
II.
Administrative problems in connection with proposed extension in length
of the
slimmer session.
Dean Walsh suggested that if the summer session is extended,
some of the institutions should offer a three-vreeks pre- session
and a six-weeks summer session, and other institutions a sixweeks summer session followed by a three-weeks post-summer. He
felt that the summer s ession plan should be arranged in such a
way that a student would be able to earn twelve semester hours
during the summer at the State Teachers Colleges.
Dean Sutliff favored the nine-weeks single summer session
since it involves fewer difficulties in administration,
although this arrangement would not take care of the students
who desire to complete only three semester hours to make up
some deficiency for graduation.
Mr. Wagner mentioned the fact that the number of teachers
returning to the summer sessions would be increased by the
holders of State standard limited certificates v*ho would
need additional preparation for the renewal of their
certificates.
/
Mr, Raker stated that the State Teachers Colleges would
have to do something toward increased preparation facilities if they are to play an important part in the increased
preparation requirements.
Dean Menhennett pointed out that West Chester could net
open a summer session earlier than June 20 or June 24 due
to the late closing of the schools in the service area.
Dean Dilworth raised the question as to whether there is
a real demand for a lengthened summer session.
He stated
that this had not been felt in Millersville. However, if
the plan were to go into effect, he preferred a continuous
nine-weeks summer session.
Dean Kaegle suggested the possibility of having an eightweeks summer session. However, the group felt that this
arrangement would be awkward because most of the courses
offered by the State Teachers Colleges were three semester
hour courses.
Dean Belknap spoke in favor of the continuous summer session
and stated that the 6-3 plan did not appeal to him.
Doctor iucClelland asked whether it would not be possible to
get a reaction from the students in Saturday classes and the
like, as to the type of summer session they would prefer.
_ 2_
r
The group seemed to be of the opinion that a summer
session of nine weeks should be recommended, the
distribution of the nine weeks to be determined by
the institution, depending on local conditions.
III.
Present procedures and improvements in scheduling the time allotment
for student teaching.
Mr, Klonower stated that this matter refers to cases
where teachers have from seven to nine years of
experience plus from eight to ten semester hours of
student teaching completed in the old normal school
curriculum. He asked the group what arrangements were
made for student teaching in such cases.
.
Dean Menhennett stated that, at his institution, a
special four- semester hour course in practice teaching
had been arranged for teachers who had already completed
student teaching in the old curriculums."
Dr. Wagenhorst discussed the plan used at Slippery Rock.
This allows a teacher to earn practice teaching credit
while in service. The teacher is visited several times
a year in her classroom and is given certain assignments
which will improve her classroom teaching.
Dean Naegle expressed the opinion that credit for teaching experience should be given rather than have capable
and experienced teachers complete additional student
teaching or additional courses in lieu of the student
teaching.
Dean High suggested a plan whereby teachers holding normal
certificates, including six semester hours of practice
teaching and a total of three years teaching experience,
would be excused from the rest of the student teaching
if the superintendent gave a rating of "middle" or better.
He suggested that the difference in the number of semester
hours could be made up by the completion of cultural
courses.
The group seemed to feel that experienced teachers profited
by additional student teaching.
Dean Walsh asked whether it would not be wise to leave the
matter entirely up to the institution with the regulation
that the State Department should be informed previous to
the adjustment what is being done in each individual case.
-4-
Mimeo graphed copies of the Report of the Curricular Revision
Committee concerning this whole matter ere passed to the
members of the group. Dean Stillings stated tiiat he felt that
the Committee had made a move in the right direction since the
plan gave the institution a choice in the manner of discharging
the practice teaching requirement in each case.
v.
Doctor Steele stated that the recommendation has been referred
by the Presidents to the Deans for their reaction and, for the
most part, the schools have replied, raising questions, making
suggestions, et cetera. The idea is to leave much discretion
to the institution as to what will make the experienced
teacher more competent.
Dean Y.alsli raised a question concerning the prerequisites for
student teaching. He felt that no student should be allowed to
complete student teaching until he has spent a semester in the
institution.
Deans Kaegle McClelland, and Menhennett all stated that their
institutions had been accepting these students and some of
them proved to be outstanding teachers. Dean Naegle stated
that to do otherwise would be to refuse to recognize the
caliber of work done at other institutions.
,
IV.
Standards and scope of statistical information furnished to the Department
of Public Instruction.
Mr. wagner spoke concerning the number of requests made by the
Department for statistical information and emphasized the need
for having all types of statistics on hand.
Dean Kaegle expressed the sentiment of the group that these
requests were most reasonable and entirely satisfactory.
V.
Transfer of credit for stuaent teaching completed in other schools:
a.
In cases of students who continue in the
same curriculum.
b.
In cases wnere students change curriculums.
Dean Dilworth raised a question concerning the difficulties
involved in the acceptance of two-hour courses to be credited
to three-hour courses in the curriculums of the State
Teachers Colleges and the acceptance of courses which have no
equivalents in the curriculums..
Dean kriner asked how many institutions accepted credit for
student teaching from anotner institution in the same curriculum.
Dean Vvalsh replied that they accepted student teaching from
another institution only when the student is a graduate of a
two-year curriculum. Discussion then centered around the matter
-5-
of the transfer of student teaching from one field to
another.
Dean Hennennett stated that his institution
has been nolding to the policy of requiring six semester
Dean Kriner stated that the
hours in tne nev. field.
policy at California was to require approximately eight
semester hours of student teaching in tne nev. field;
Dean Walsh stated that his institution requires half
credit or seven semester hours.
VI.
The degree to which supervision of instruction is possible.
Dean Kriner took the position that observation of
classes is only a small part of tne supervision of
instruction. He stated that in higher education we
have to trust the wisdom and experience of instructors.
He asked whether it would not be a good idea to develop
uniform personnel records for all faculty members.
Dean Sutliff mentioned the advisability of visiting
the classroom of new teachers, but maintained that,
in the main, the older and experienced teachers
needed no supervision. The important problem was that
of securing coordination of effort.
VII.
Certification adjustments:
a.
b.
c.
Extension of four-year elementary
certificates to include high school
subjects.
The secondary field to qualify for
the elementary grades.
In special fields with a degree in the
secondary curriculum as a basis.
Mr. Bowman explained the procedure now used in tne
extension of elementary certificates to include high
school subjects. This is done on the basis of six
semester hours in secondary education, six semester
hours in student teaching in grades above the sixth,
and eighteen se:..ester hours in the subject field desired.
Special elementary courses are not accepted as a part
of the eighteen semester hours in a field.
In the case
of graduates of the old normal school curriculum, the
student teaching requirement for secondary certification
is cancelled if the college can certify that at least
six semester nours of the practice teaching was completed
in grades above the sixth.
Dean Walsh suggested the advisability of raising the
requirements for the extension of elementary certificates
to include secondary subjects to agree with those of
adding elementary certification to secondary certificates,
The group seemed to agree that this should be done.
-6-
The group discussed at some length the matter of the eighteen
semester hours in English contained within the secondary
curriculum, which gives certification to teach English without
the completion of electives in this field.
With reference to the extension of secondary certificates to
the elementary field, Dean Sutliff raised a question concerning
the courses in Art and Music vfaich are indicated on the mimeographed sheet of requirements as being lj semester hour courses,
whereas these courses in the State Teachers Colleges are two
semester hour courses.
It was explained that this list of
courses is merely suggestive and full credit is given for two
semester hour courses in Art and Music.
Mr. Wagner stated that the extensions to tile elementary field
made during the year when the requirement was twelve semester
hours numbered 970 to October 1 and that, contrary to expectations, this number increased to 1015 after the requirement was
raised to eighteen semester hours. However, it was felt that
the number would decrease since the requirement has been
raised to twenty-four semester hours.
Dean Naegle spoke of the injustice being done graduates of
the special curricula by graduates of the secondary curriculum
who complete only the minimum requirement of eighteen semester
hours for the addition of a special subject. The requirement
should be increased.
Mr, Bowman explained at some length that there are more teachers
teaching physical education on a part-time emergency certificate
than any other field, but these teachers do not keep graduates
of the four-year special curricula from positions because their
classes are only a small part of their teaching load. Graduates
of the secondary curriculum with only a minimum of eighteen
semester hours are not, as a rule, given full-time positions in
this field. He stated that teachers now teaching physical
education on emergency certificates are making an effort to meet
the eighteen semester hour requirement but, if this requirement
is raised, it will put certification in this field out of their
reach and no attempt will be made to meet the requirements.

After some discussion, it was the opinion of the group that
students holding State standard limited certificates in the
elementary field could complete courses for the renewal of
this certificate which v.ould also be accepted in the
secondary curriculum. This practice should be stopped
since the applicants ere preparing specifically for the
elementary field.
v.
IX.
Coordination of research efforts of the Deans of Instruction.
In this connection, Dean Kriner raised the question as to
whether it would not be a good idea to have all freshmen
take the entrance test, making a study of tests from all
institutions to see hov, Pennsylvania stands as a state.
X.
The question of the certification of students enrolled previous
to June, 1932.
Dean Walsh spoke of the difficulties connected with
determining wnen a student was n enrolled previous to
June, 1932" or "continuing his work" for the normal
certificate.
Dean Kriner moved that the following recommendation be
made to the Board of Presidents of the State Teachers
Colleges:
That, after September 1, 1937, no normal
certificate shall be issued, and no
certificates representing less than four
years of preparation shall be issued.
The motion was seconded by Dean YJalsh and unanimously
carried.
XI.
Some suggestive ways to make more effective the service of the
office of a Dean of Instruction.
Mr. Klonower suggested that one way to make more effective
the services of the Deans would be to have an exchange of
ideas between the various deans.
He felt that the
exchange of programs, ideas for service area meetings, et
cetera, would be very helpful.
He also suggested that,
when an interpretation is given to one dean, it might be
advisable for the Department to forward copies of the
interpretation to all the other deans so that there may be
uniformity in policy.
The dieans felt unanimously that the
Dean Belknap voiced the hope that a

Student teaching credit for teachers
with five or more years of experience
in the public schools
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision Committee,
reported for the committee.
The following report of the committee
Tsas
submitted to the
Board:
"There is an increasing demand for more extended preparation of
teachers. To recognize existing competence of teachers in service and to
provide further opportunities for increasing that competence, the Curricular
Revision Committee makes these recommendations:
-1001-
"Experienced teachers with three or more years experience in
teaching who become candidates for a degree and who hold certificates
belov, the level of the Provisional College Certificate may, at the
discretion of an approved institution, complete the unfulfilled
student teaching requirements for the degree in any of the following
v.ays:(a)
Earn the number of hours required in actual student
teaching, or
(b)
Perform an assignment of work germane to teaching
technique in connection with regular teaching in a
public school, carrying not less than one semester
hour credit nor more than six semester hours credit
in a single semester, under the direction of an
approved institution. The semester hour credit will
be determined by the quality and amount of work done
in the special assignment.
In such cases the candidate must be regularly registered in the institution
and may not earn more than a total of six semester
hours credit in a single semester for all courses
pursued, or
(c)
Courses may be pursued in individual cases which are
approved by the proper authority of an approved
institution for not more than three semester hours.
The remainder of the unfulfilled student teaching
requirement shall be earned as in (a) or (b) or in
a combination of (a) and (b).
,
"Provided, that no credit toward graduation may be given for
teaching experience and provided further, that the college records
and the transcript submitted to the Teacher Division in support of
the application for a degree or for a college certificate, shall
show plainly the manner in which the unfulfilled student teaching
requirement was discharged.
Respectfully submitted,
Allen

Doctor Ade stated that paragraph

(c)
of this recommendation
Mr. Klonower suggested that the phrase, "germane to teaching
technique" be inserted in paragraph (c) to read as follov. s:
"(c) Courses germane to teaching technique may be
pursued in individual cases which are approved
by the proper authority of an approved institution
for not more than three semester hours.
The
-1002-
remainder of the unfulfilled student teaching
requirement shall be earned as in (a) or (b) above,
or in a combination of (a) and (b)."
Doctor Ade commended the plan and suggested that it lad
great possibilities.
Doctor Steele explained that the plan would not be contrary
to the standards of the .american Association of Teachers Colleges
because each student will have had at least 90 hours of student
teaching before graduation.
He stated that the last paragraph of the recommendation
safeguarded the whole plan by requiring that the transcripts submitted to the Teacher Division of the Department of Public Instruction
shall show the manner in which the unfulfilled student teaching
requirement was discharged.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Riemer, it
vot ed that the recommendation of the committee be adopted as

It 'was explained that this curriculum would not be assigned
to specific institutions but might be offered by any institution along
\ith the elementary and secondary curriculums.
Doctor ^de asked if it Y.ould be possible to administer the
curriculum without additional staff or additional expenditure. The
general reply was "Yes."
Doctor Steele suggested that the committee would like to have
the reaction of each President after he has studied the curriculum.
It was decided that the Presidents would give reactions to
the curriculum and that the matter should be referred again to the
Curricular Revision Committee for further study and report at the next
meeting of the Board.
4.
Development of Minors in the
Secondary Curriculum
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision Committee
presented the following report of the committee:.
"In view of the recent development of four year
curriculums for the preparation of teachers and
supervisors in the so-called special fields of
art, music, health, et cetera, and because of the
general acceptance of this standard of preparation
by supervisory and administrative school officials
together with the lack of available financial aid
to develop additional centers for the preparation
of teachers in these special fields and the lack
of demand for teachers with less preparation than
four years in these fields, the Curricular Revision
Committee recommends that minors in the so-called
special fields be not established as a part of the
curricula offerings in the State Teachers Colleges.
"In addition to the available evidence the decision
of the Committee was reached in part by replies
received in answer to an inquiry sent by the Chairman
of the Committee from the majority of the Presidents
indicating their disapproval of this proposal and
their expressed belief that such a step would reduce
the standard of competence of teachers in the special
fields, that it would entail added expense and
definitely subvert funds now needed for other purposes
by the duplication of facilities now adequate to supply
the demand.
"We are further advised that the present preparation
program adequately provides sufficient teachers to meet
the demand.
"The Curricular Revision Committee desires to comment
on the present practice of the Department of Public
-1005-
Instruction by which a teacher's certificate at tlie
present time may be extended to cover one of these
special fields un tne completion of eighteen semester
hours of approved preparation. We believe that this
is entirely inadequate preparation and recommend that
the Department take immediate steps to increase this
requirement

Aids to prospective rural school
teachers
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision Committee,
stated that the committee had no comprehensive report to make at this
time.
He called the attention of the Board to tne four-year curriculum
for teachers in rural schools in the syllabi of the State Teachers
Colleges and to the possibility of utilizing courses from this curriculum
under free elect ives. He suggested that the members of the Board make
suggestions as to the desire for the revision of the curriculum or the
adoption of other curriculums. He stated that the committee would like
to have specific suggestions along this line.
It was pointed out that some of the institutions make an
effort to give students in the elementary curriculum some specific training to teach in the rural schools since so few students will elect the
rural curriculum.
Doctor Rohrbach stated that the operation of the training
school for the rural school students costs his institution $3,000 a year.
Mr. Klonov.er stated that the differential between the elementary
curriculum and the rural curriculum is very slight. The rural curriculum
was adopted to make sure that, in the syllabi, there would appear a
curriculum that would satisfy a large group that believe that teaching in
a rural school required specific training for this work.
Doctor Foster stated that at Indiana the students of the
elementary curriculum complete a number of courses in rural education
because very many of tnem secure their first position in one-room rural
schools.
It v;as agreed to give the matter of preparing teachers for the
rural schools more empnasis.
Doctor Steele distributed copies of "Summary-Music Background

Mr. Klonower asked if a vigorous program for the preparation of
teachers of one-room rural schools would not run contrary to the general
philosophy of consolidation of schools.
Doctor Fausold suggested that each member of the Board secure data
indicating the number of people who will be needed in the service areas for
one-room rural schools. This will give some idea of the problem on a State-wide
basis.
Doctor Steele stated that during the past four or five years the
number of specifically trained music superyi-aers has been greatly reduced which
means that the load must be assumed by the classroom teacher. T*»fi record
indicates a great many students without any music preparation.
Doctor Allen asked if it would not be a good idea to go back to the
school districts and find from where these students without music instruction
are coming.
Mr, Klonower stated that the Chairman of the Curricular Revision
Committee requests that each institution make some inquiry concerning the art
background and health and physical education background of freshmen in the
State Teachers Colleges, similar to the study that was presented concerning the

were
Doctor Landis Tanger
Doctor Robert M. Steele
Doctor Carmon Ross
Doctor C. S. Miller, Chairman
Henry Klonower, Chief, Teacher Division
"The committee feels that the ultimate solution of the problem with
reference to the matter of supplying available facilities for teachers-inservice v,ho desire to complete the requirements of a four-year teacher preparation program at an earlier date than that which is now possible because of
the limited six weeks summer session is the organization of the college
calendar on the quarter basis. The committee recognizes the difficulties
involved in making such a change from the present program during this biennium,
but it recommends that a careful study be made by each President of the
implications of such a program and that the matter be given further consideration at a later meeting of the Board of Presidents.
"The committee requests permission to study further the question
and also report on the feasibility of such a plan at a later meeting. However,
it is the committee's recommendation that immediate steps should be taken to
provide additional instructional opportunities during the coming summer session
and, to carry out its recommendation, it recommends:
1.
That the 1956 summer session be six weeks in length
and that each college have the option of offering a
three weeks pre-session or post-session.
2.
That the summer session open in accordance with the
recommendations of the Calendar Committee.
3.
The committee recommends that teachers employed
during the post or pre-summer session be compensated

Report of Committee on Athletics re
"Transfer students, Athletic Scholarships, Professionalism, and Soring an d
Pre-season football training"
Doctor Allen, Chairman of the Committee, reported for the
Committee.
Doctor Allen referred to the regulation presented at the
November 15, 1935 meeting of the Board which had been held over for
further study. The regulation referred to reads as follows:
"No student transferring from any four- year
institution of collegiate rank, except from a
regularly accredited Junior College, to a State
Teachers College shall be eligible for any
intercollegiate competition until after a year
of residence, \vhere one year intervenes between
attendance at an institution of collegiate rank
and matriculation in a State Teachers College, a
student so enrolled is not to be considered as a
transfer and shall be eligible for participation
in athletics."
On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Miller, it was
voted that the recommendation of the committee be approved.
Doctor Allen stated that there is an understanding that there
are no athletic scholarships. There are opportunities to earn money with
which to defray expenses but an athletic scholarship is a procedure by
which a student receives money for services rendered in athletics.
On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Tanger, it was
voted that the restriction prohibiting employment of students for more
than twenty hours a week be modified to include a statement that shall
include all types of payrolls under the direction of the college.
-1010-
Doctor Allen stated that, at the last meeting of the Board, the
committee reported that there v/as an understanding that members of the
Board were very definitely instructed by a past Superintendent of Public
Instruction that there should be no spring or pre- season football training.
This means that the dormitories will not be opened until the dates indicated
on the uniform calendar.
On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Riemer, it was voted
that there be no pre- session football training in any of the State Teachers
Colleges prior to the opening date of the college.
Mr. Swope, Doctor Hill, and Doctor Sutliff preferred not to vote
Doctor Ross and Djctor Armstrong voted "no" on the motion.
on this motion.
On motion of Doctor Ross, seconded by Doctor Steele, it was voted
that the motion by which the resolution of the Athletic Committee was adopted
be reconsidered.
Doctor Rohrbach, Doctor T_nger, and Doctor Miller, voted "no" on
this motion.
On motion of Doctor Ross, seconded by Mr. Swope, it was voted that
action on the recommendation be postponed until the next meeting of the
Board.
Doctor Foster and Doctor Allen voted "no" on this motion.
It was moved by Doctor Allen and seconded by Doctor Miller that
the Superintendent of Public Instruction appoint a member of the Commit
on Athletics to take the place of Doctor Norman W. Cameron.
G.
Nursery Schools as a part of the
demonstration and laboraroty
opportunities in the State Teachers
.Colleges
Mr. Klonower stated that the matter need not be discussed at
the present time.
He added that material is being prepared for distribution to each member of the Board.
He emphasized the importance of this type of preparation and
stated that he thought it was professionally sound to urge the development
of preparation facilities for the lower age levels.
He suggested that each
member of the Board read the article by Doctor Stoddard in the January issue
of School and Society.

Report of Committee on Allocations
Doctor Straughn, Chairman of the Committee on Allocations, was
not present at the meeting.
I\.r.
Crosley appeared before the Board to present a report of
The report reads as follows:
the Committee sent to him by Doctor Straughn,
"The committee appointed by you to make recommendations for the allocation
of unobligated balances in the State appropriations for Teachers Colleges
for the first year of the biennium met on Monday, November 25, 1955 with

"The committee was informed by Mr. Crosley that approximately ^93,500 are
available for distribution. The committee considered all available information and unanimously recommends the following:
1.
That the sum of v 18,500 be held in reserve by
the Superintendent of Public Instruction for
any emergencies that might arise during the
first year of the biennium.
2.
That a sum not exceeding ^35,000 be allocated
for meeting emergency repairs to buildings and
equipment in the various institutions as
recommended by the Building Construction Engineer
of the Department of Public Instruction.
3.
That the balance of ,/±0,000 be set aside for the
improvement of instructional equipment and materials,
such as laboratory equipment, visual aids, special
departmental equipment, libraries, et cetera, r.ith
the recommendation that each institution be allocated
at least £2,500 except where present equipment does
not warrant such allocation.
-1012-
"The committee felt that the allocation of these unexpended amounts should be
used largely to further the professional needs of the institutions.
Respectfully submitted,
William R. Straughn, Chairman
Carmon Ross
Charles £. Miller
Robert M. Steele"
Mr. Crosley then read his memorandum of December 12, 1935 to Doctor
Ade as follows:
"The Committee appointed to make recommendations for the allocation of
unobligated balances in the State appropriation for Teachers Colleges for the
first year of the present biennium has made the following recommendation;
'That the balance of ;40,000 be set aside for the improvement of instructional
equipment and materials, such as laboratory equipment, visual aids, special
departmental equipment, libraries, et cetera, with the recommendation that each
institution be allocated at least ^2,500 except where present equipment does
not warrant such allocation.
?
"We do not have authentic information relative to present equipment at the
Colleges but in the budgets submitted for the present fiscal year we find that
the following institutions have included what we consider to be reasonable
expenditures for these items:
Cheyney
East Stroudsburg
Edinboro
Indiana
Kutztown
Shippensburg
Slippery Rock
"The budgets submitted, however, for East Stroudsburg, Edinboro and Shippensburg
do not include the necessary amounts to take care of other expenditures that
will be incurred. The increase in local receipts over and above the amounts
anticipated when the budgets were submitted for some of the Colleges does not
justify a re-allocation of funds to such Colleges if the fourteen institutions
must be operated during the present fiscal year.
"In analyzing the data appearing on Change Sheets for the month of September,
1935 and the enrollment data submitted October 15, 1935, we find that the
number of Class I students per equated full time faculty member is relatively
low for Mansfield, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Lock Haven and Shippensburg.
This analysis would indicate that careful consideration should be given to the
advisability of a reduction in the number of faculty members before any
definite re-allocation of funds is made to such Colleges."
He then presented his memorandum of December 12, 1635 to Doctor Ade
as follows:
"The Committee appointed to make recommendations for the allocation of
unobligated balances in the State appro pri at ion for Teachers Colleges for the
first year of the present biennium made the following recommendation:
-1013-
That a sum not exceeding ^33,000
be allocated for
meeting emergency repairs to buildings and equipment
in the various institutions as recommended by the
Building Construction Engineer of the Department of
Public Instruction.
"This amount is in accord with the amount indicated in our suggestion of

Mr. Crosley stated that, since the budget of each institution
seemed to be a workable one, he had suggested to Doctor Ade that he wait
until after the enrollments come in for the second semester before allocation
is made.
Report of committee re "service areas of
the State Teachers Colleges"
K.
Doctor Straughn, Chairman of the Committee, was not present at
the meeting.
Mr. Klonower stated that, at the last meeting of the Board,' a
request was made that suggestions concerning this matter be sent directly
to Doctor Straughn.
Mr. Klonower distributed the professional service area charts
together with a map showing the location of each service area.
He requested
that the population areas be checked in the office of each President since
these population areas are probably no longer in accordance with the facts.
Suggestions on this matter should also be sent to Doctor Straughn so that the
Committee may have the basis for further study.

the 508 returns received, 460 were in favor of the change, 65 opposed, and
3 non-committal.

and that four years of approved preparation shall be
required for teacning in the elementary field."

elementary teachers be approved.
B
.
Increased preparation requirements for
supervisory and administrative certificates
Ml-. Klonower distributed copies of the bulletin, "Standards for
the Preparation and Certification of Administrative and Supervisory Officers"
to members of the Board.
He stated that there is considerable pressure from
-1015-
the field to increase the requirements for supervising principals to those
required for the superintendent of schools.
Mr. Klonower asked that the members of the Board study the problem
and discuss it at the next meeting of the Board.
C.
Placement of graduates of teache r
education ins ti tutions
Mr. Klonower distributed copies of a series of charts indicating
the placement of graduates of the liberal arts colleges and State Teachers
Colleges. He pointed out that the percentage of placements in the State
Teachers Colleges is 60.7, while it is 40.9 per cent in the liberal arts
colleges.
a copy of this series of charts follows page 1017 as Exhibit "A".
The validation of secondary college
certificates to the elementary field
D
Mr. Klonower stated that a careful study of the transfer of
graduates of secondary curriculums to the elementary field shots that there
would have teen an actual shortage of new teachers for the elementary schools
if it were not for the large number of secondary teachers who had their
certificates extended to the elementary field.
E.
Service area professional meetings
Mr. Klonower stated that he understood that each institution is
still stimulating these professional meetings.
He requested that publicity
material, programs, plans, et cetera, be sent to the Teacher Division for
filing purposes.
F.
News items re professional activities
Mr. Cresswell had been advised by the postal authorities that the
Education Bulletin would have wider circulation if it included more material
concerning the agencies under the Department of Public Instruction. He asked
that each member of the Board submit once a month two paragraphs that relate
to some interesting contribution made by the institution.
G.
Solicitation of Students
Mr. Klonower suggested that the natter be held over for discussion
at the next meeting of the Board.

importance that every member of the Board should be present at the discussion.
IV.
Miscellaneous
A.
Expansion of Curriculums
Doctor Ade had asked if the Board would express itself on the
problem regarding expansion of curriculums. This matter has been referred
to the State Council of Education and the State Council now has before it
some fifteen curricula for approval.
These were referred to a special committee. This special committee v«ill report February 7, 1956.
-1016-

costs and needs.

II.
Unfinished Business
A.
Report of the Curricular Revision
Committee
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision
Committee, reported progress and suggested that no revisions
of the present curricula be made until the State Council of
Education has acted on the resolution advancing the preparation
level for the State Standard Limited Certificate.
B.
Report of committee re "modification
of the law for permanent certification
in Pennsylvania "
Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the Committee, reported
for the committee and suggested that the problem be studied
before the beginning of the next biennium.
Mr. Klonower mentioned the committee of the Pennsylvania State Education Association headed by Superintendent
Lillibridge. He suggested cooperation with this committee.
It was agreed that the committee of the Board should
work with the committee of the Pennsylvania State Education
Association.
C.
Report of committee re "recognition by
the Middle States Association"
Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the Committee, stated that
The
the committee had no report to offer at the present time.
situation stands as it did at the last meeting of the Board. He
further stated that he had received no further communications
from the Middle States Association and that he had made no attempt
to communicate with the Association.
Mr. Klonower emphasized the fact that the important
problem is the recognition by the Middle States Association of
the high schools in which State Teachers College graduates are
teaching rather than the recognition of the colleges themselves.
Doctor Rowland suggested that there are two ways to
approach the problem; first, through the Secondary Commission of
the Middle States Association either by a change in its rules or
by the acceptance of the standards of the American Association
of Teachers Colleges as equivalent standards thereby permitting
State Teachers College graduates to teach in the secondary schools;
-101O
or, second, through the Commission on Higher Education of the
Middle States Association which could automatically include
the State Teachers Colleges in the approved list either by
reciprocity or by definite inclusion, in which case the
Secondary Commission would have to accept State Teachers
College graduates because the State Teachers Colleges would be
members of the Association.
Doctor Bohrbach then read the following letter as an
example of the problem:
"BLYTHE TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT

Keystone State Teachers College

Attention;
0. A. W.
Rohrbach
Dear Dr. Rohrbach:
Our school is a member of the Middle States
Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
In a report of a recent survey, the Association
lists three of our State Teachers College graduates with
a minus term. May I inquire if Keystone State Teachers
College or any of the other State Teachers Colleges are
credited by this Association?
We are anxious to be among the accredited schools
in this Association, therefore we must conform to Standard
Four (4) Preparation of Teachers,
—
Awaiting a reply,
I

Respectfully yours
(Signed)
-1020-

Supervising Principal"

Doctor Rohrbach added that superintendents and
principals are careful that not more than twenty-five per cent
of their teaching staff in the high schools are State Teachers
College graduates.
Doctor Rowland, Doctor Foster, and Mr. Swope stated
that they had filed applications for accreditment by the
Middle States Association, but as yet had heard nothing from
the Association.
Doctor Rohrbach asked whether it would not be helpful
for a committee from the Department to meet with the committee
of the Board of Presidents and meet with Doctor Grizzell in an
attempt to straighten out the whole matter.
On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Ross it
was voted that the committee be requested to continue its
study.
Doctor Rohrbach requested that each president send to
the committee a list of the high schools in his service area,
indicate the number of teachers in the high scnools, and the
number of the high schools that are accredited by the Middle
States Association. It was suggested that this information be
obtained directly from Doctor Grizzell rather than from the
high school principals.
On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Rowland
it was voted that the report of the committee be accepted with
thanks, that the committee continue its study, and that the
Superintendent of Public Instruction be requested to enlarge the
committee to include such persons in the Department of Public
Instruction as may be responsible for the accreditment of
secondary schools to meet jointly with the committee of the
Board for consideration of the problem.
D.
Report of Committee on Athletics
re "Transfer students, and Spring
and Pre-Season football training"
On motion of Doctor Foster, seconded by Mr. Swope it
was voted that the recommendation before the Board to the
effect that there should be no pre- season football training
prior to the opening date of the college be tabled.
Doctor Miller, Doctor Steele, Doctor Allen, and Doctor
Ross voted "no" on this motion.
-1081-
E.
Report of committee re "nodifi cation
of the enrollment report on page 3"
Doctor Haas, Chairman of the Committee, submitted the
following report:
"As authorized by the resolution of November 15, 1935,
Doctor Ade appointed the following committee: Henry
Klonower, Robert Steele, and Francis B. Haas, Chairman.
Under date of January 8, 1936, the chairman sent the
following letter to the members of the Board:
the meeting of the Board of Presidents
held Friday, November 15, 1935, provision
was made for a Committee to revise the
enrollment report. Doctor Ade has appointed
the following Committee: Doctor Steele,
Mr. Klonower, and myself as Chairman.
•'At
'The Committee plans to meet preceding the
next meeting of the Board, which is scheduled
for Friday, January 17, 1936.
I will be glad
to have any comments that you care to have
considered in preparation of a report. As
Chairman of the Committee, may I call your
attention to the fact that since these reports
have now been carried on for a considerable
number of years, it is highly desirable that
any suggestions made should not vitally change
the form of the present report so as to
interfere with ease in securing comparative
data.
Nine institutions replied. Following is a digest of
these replies: - (a) Insert cooperative curriculum along
with other special curricula, (b) Attention called to
the fact that some institutions in publicizing enrollment include special and extension classes.
(c) Consider
advisability of distribution of elective fields, (d)
Arrange a report to distinguish between applicants for
limited license and four- year course.
(e) Consider
advisability of additional report for students holding
baccalaureate degrees.
(f) Insert special class teachers
along with other curricula.
(g) Advisability of combining first semester and second semester of elementary
education, (h) Advisability of eliminating four-year
-1022-
elementary in case of primary, intermediate, and
rural, (i) Advisability that notation for kindergarten be eliminated, (j) That length of lessons
in Minutes under class two be eliminated, (k) That
notation for class four students be Eliminated.
Four of the nine institutions of those reporting
indicated that no changes are needed.
The Committee recommends that each President secure
from Mr. Klonower a copy of the blank report; that
the suggestions for revision be made in the form of
an actual editing of the report; and that this
report be sent to the Chairman of the Committee,
following which an actual proposed revision will
be made.
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Steele,
it was voted to accept the report of the committee.
F.
Report of committee re "service
areas of the State Teachers
Colleges"
Doctor Belknap, representing Doctor Straughn, Chairman
of the Committee, asked that the report of the committee be held
in abeyance until the next meeting of the Board.
G.
Resolution to the State Council of
Education re "advanced requirements
for the State Standard Limited
Certificate"
Mr. Klonower stated that this matter had come before
the State Council of Education at its last meeting and that
definite action had been postponed until the May meeting of the
Council.
Doctor Ade stated that there had been some question
about going ahead until all groups interested in the matter
had an opportunity to study the resolution, particularly the
Joint Educational Costs Survey Commission. He further stated
that Mr. Andrews and his sub-committee appointed to study this
matter had indicated approval of the resolution but that no
formal word had been given to the State Council of Education.
Mr. Klonower stated that a study had just been made
the
elementary teachers in Pennsylvania arranged by
of all
-1023-
counties in order of rank in the percentage of college preparation.
This study shows an increase in the number of elementary teachers
having four years of preparation. The resolution now before the
State Council of Education would require only three years of
preparation for the issue of the State Standard Limited Certificate,
Doctor Haas raised a question concerning the effective
date of the resolution, since the catalogues of the institutions
announcing a two-year curricula preparing students for the State
Standard Limited Certificate had already been prepared.
It was suggested that the effective date of the resolution might be set as January 1, 1937 rather than September 1, 1936
in order to keep faith with prospective teachers who might desire
to qualify for teaching in the elementary schools in two years as
announced in the catalogues.
Doctor Ade appointed Mr. Klonower as Chairman of a
committee consisting of Doctor Rohrbach and Doctor Steele to
formulate a statement that would be acceptable to the Presidents
in the event that favorable action on the resolution is taken by
the State Council of Education.
H.
Service area professional meetings
Mr. Klonower stated that there are many interesting and
stimulating professional meetings being held within the service
areas of the State Teachers Colleges. He suggested that copies
of the programs of these meetings be sent to the Teacher Division
so that a library of such programs might be built up and used for
reference purposes by the Presidents.
Doctor Ade raised a question at this point concerning
the use of buildings of the State Teachers Colleges for meetings.
It was decided that the problem was largely one for the Boards of
Trustees of the institutions.
It was the consensus of opinion that the State Teachers
Colleges should refuse the requests of outside agencies for use
of State buildings for meetings where such meetings involved the
housing problem and were not directly related to teacher education.
-1024-
I.
Solicitation of Students
On motion of Doctor Haas,
seconded by Doctor Miller
it was voted that *his item be tabled.
The Board adjourned at 12:50 for luncheon and agreed
to reconvene at 2;00.
J.
Nursery Schools as a part of
the demonstration and laboratory
opportunities in the State
Teachers Colleges
Mr. Klonower stated that he had had a conference with
the Emergency Education Group concerning this matter.
He said
that such schools might be established in the State Teachers
Colleges if a need could be demonstrated.
Doctor Steele stated that it is difficult to get
proper personnel for the nursery schools.
Mr. Klonower thought that it would be better to have
nursery schools set up as a part of the regular curriculum,
meeting all the standards of the college, rather than establish
them as emergency education projects.
Doctor Hill raised a question concerning the transportation of these students.
Doctor Rowland stated that the parents of the children
now enrolled in the nursery school at his institution arrange
for the transportation.
Mr. Klonower stated that a mimeographed statement
setting up the standards for an ideal nursery school had been
prepared and sent to Washington for the budgeting of the various
items. As soon as this statement is returned, copies will be
sent to each President.
He further added that if nursery schools
become a part of the progressive school district, we will have to
develop a program for the preparation of teachers in this field.
K.
Budgets
Doctor Ade stated that he was very much heartened by
the full cooperation which had been given by the Presidents in
the matter of balancing the budgets for the year.
He was
advised by Mr. Crosley that, with the exception of one or two
institutions, all budgets can be balanced by the end of the
year without drawing on funds for the next fiscal year.
-1025-
it
Mr. Crosley stated that the use of the $200,000
allocated to the institutions by Doctor Ade for the provisions
of the Fire and Panic Act is nor/ being held up because there is
a possibility that a blanket allocation may be made to take care
of the provisions of the Fire and Panic Act in all institutions.
He added that Mr. Bashore of the Department of Labor and Industry
is handling the matter for all departments concerned and he is
dealing with Mr. Jones of the Works Progress Administration and
with the Governor, who, in turn, is taking the matter up with
Mr. Hopkins at Vfeshington. Up to the present time there has not
been a definite allocation to the State of Pennsylvania. Mr.
Crosley added that, as it now stands, there are three different
allocations to be made;
1.
The mandated requirements of the Department
of Labor and Industry for removal of fire
hazards as covered by the $200,000 already
allocated.
2.
The emergency lighting and fire alarm conditions that we had been unable to take care
of with the $200,000 that had been allocated.
It is expected that $200,000 will be
allocated for this purpose.
3.
Conditions detrimental to adequate safety.
$200,000 have been set up for this item.
Mr. Crosley advised the group to hold up bids already
requested for projects under item one and that the contractors
already assigned to the institutions be asked to draw up plans
and specifications for projects under items one and two on the
presumption that the money would be allocated. He suggested
that the third group be left go until definite word is received
from the Department.
Doctor Ade asked for suggestions concerning the
appointment of a Committee on Budgets, to take care of the
next fiscal year.
Doctor Armstrong suggested that the same committee
serve this year that had served last year in order that the
Board might receive the benefit of their experience.
Doctor Haas stated that he had been chairman of that
committee for three or four years and that he felt that new
members should be appointed in order to give a fresh point of
view.
Doctor Steele and Doctor Foster agreed with this statement
-1026-
Doctor Haas suggested that a committee of five members
be appointed rather than a committee of seven members which had
constituted the Committee on Budgets for the last few years.
Doctor Ade appointed the following committee: Doctor
Miller, Chairman, Doctor Allen, Doctor Ross, We. Crosley and
Mr. Klonower.

A.
Report of committee re "uniform
fees, deposits and repayments
in the State Teachers Colleges" *
Pre- summer or Post- summer Session
Fees
On motion of Doctor Foster, seconded by Doctor Rowland
it was voted that students enrolled for periods of instruction
differing from the schedule shall pay fees in addition on a pro
rata basis of the schedule of fees provided for the regular
summer session.
B.
Membership to the American Council
on Education
Doctor Haas stated that this item had been put on the
docket at his suggestion and that it referred to the possibility
of securing joint membership to the American Council on Education
for all the State Teachers Colleges.
Doctor Steele stated that he had understood from Doctor
Marsh who had appeared before the Board at a previous meeting
that it was not possible to secure group membership.
Doctor Ade authorized Mr. Klonower to secure definite
information as to the possibility of securing group membership.
C.
Report of Delegate to the meeting
of the American Association of
Teachers Colleges
Doctor Steele, delegate of the Board of Presidents
to the meeting of the American Association of Teachers Colleges
held in St- Louis, emphasized two points:
1.
A definite determination
to start with the
development of qualitative standards for
the American Association of Teachers Colleges
-10P.7-
giving study to the North Central
Association and the American Council
on Education.
2.
A recommendation that each member of
the Board secure from the Association
for the Prevention of Blindness their
studies regarding the eye health of
school children and the effect of
lighting conditions in classrooms and
dormitories.
D.
1936 Testing program of
Columbia University
Mr. Klonower read a letter from Doctor Ben D. Wood,
Director of the Bureau of Collegiate Educational Research of
Columbia University, asking if the State Teachers Colleges would
be interested in a five-year testing program. Mr. Klonower added
that he had suggested that the whole project should be worked out
in detail so that the President would have an opportunity to
study the project.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Rohrbach
Wood be requested to appear
before the Board at its next meeting to discuss the matter.
it was unanimously voted that Doctor

Communication from Mr. Philo Dix

,
Mr. Klonower read the following letter received under
date of March 4, 1936 from Mr. Philo C. Dix, State Secretary of
the Young Men's Christian Association of Pennsylvania;
"Mr. Henry Klonower
Secretary, Board of Presidents
of State Teachers Colleges
Capitol Building
Harrisburg, Pa.
My dear Mr. Klonower:
Practically all the State Teachers Colleges have Student
Y.M.C.A. s in their Student Bodies, and of course these are under
the supervision of the State Y.M.C.A. of Pennsylvania which I
represent.

In the Middle Atlantic States a new movement has been
organized called the Student Christian Movement which is entirely
independent of the National YMCA or the Pennsylvania State Y.M.C.A,
1028-
This new Movement is seeking to get the Student W.M.C.A.'s and
Y.w.C.A.'s to affiliate with them which would in the long run
of course mean the termination of their relationship to our
Organization.
There is no good reason why the State Y.M.C.A. of
Pennsylvania should insist upon continuing to carry the
responsibility for supervising the Student Work in the Colleges
for which the financial support has been very meager if those
who are most responsible for the Colleges really feel that the
work could as well or better be done by this new agency. We
have not felt however that this was a matter to be left to a
competitive struggle for the loyalties of the students who are
after all transitory factors in the situation and we are therefore seeking advice from the College Administrations with a
view to determining whether there are enough colleges who feel
concerned about the maintenance of this Y.M.C.A. relationship
to warrant the continuance of our program.
This issue is
already being made sharply on a number of the college campuses
in the Eastern half of the State.
There has not as yet been
much activity in the Western half but this will be inevitable.
I am writing to raise the question as to whether the
Teachers College Presidents would care to hear a presentation
of the problem, as I see it, after which they could of course
decide as to in what way, if any, they wish further to deal
with it.
Sooner or later this must be an administrative problem
on the campus, and it is our feeling that the administrations
have more, in the long run, at stake than the present generation of students.
I will appreciate your taking this matter up in the
appropriate way and will be glad if a period could be given me
for a presentation on your regular agenda or we will be
delighted to invite the Presidents to be our guests at luncheon
at the Penn Harris on the date of one of their meetings here.
Cordially yours,
(Signed) Philo C. Dix
State Secretary"
Doctor Miller suggested that the matter was one for the
individual consideration of each President.
On motion of Doctor Foster, seconded by Mr. Swope it was
unanimously voted that the item be tabled and that each institution
handle the matter for itself.

F.
Formation of a Pennsylvania Teachers
College Athletic Conference
Doctor Foster read a letter from Mr. George P. Miller,
Director of Athletics at the State Teachers College at Indiana,
in which he stated the advantages of the organization of a conference of personnel connected with the administration of athletics
at the colleges.
Doctor Foster then read the following report of the
material gathered from the State Teachers Colleges relative to the
formation of an athletic conference.
"To the Board of Presidents
of the State Teachers Colleges
March 19, 1936
There seems to be general agreement on part of the rules
governing intercollegiate athletics among the teachers colleges, but
some of these seem to be arousing a good deal of trouble and other
problems have arisen that are not touched by the present rules.
Unless these differences can be cleared up and the right relationships
brought about the great values of intercollegiate athletics as they
should be conducted in colleges preparing teachers for the public
schools will be utterly lost. There should be a conference to work
,
out a plan:
1.
To agree on a set of rules for the
regulation of the varsity program.
To promote a healthy growth of the
program that will be a pattern for our
prospective teachers to emulate.
2.
To make sure that fair play, courtesy,
generosity, self-control and friendly
feelings for opposing school should not be
sacrificed in the desire to win.
3.
To draw up schedules for games, to
designate the number of games to be played,
to arrive at conference standing of teams.
4.
To carry on the following functions;
contribute to the efficient and successful
administration of eligibility rules and
athletic meets, publication of the results
of the conference games, publications of
approved lists of officials to handle the
games, prohibiting or permitting post- season
games and pre- season practice, regulating length
5.
-1030-
of schedules and using standard forms for records
and reports and finally proposing standards for
choosing coaches.
Among the most troublesome specific problems are the
following:
1.
Subsiding of athletes
2.
Spring football practice
3.
Early fall football practice
of school
4.
Selection of officials for football and
basketball
5.
The organization of schedules, the number
of games with teachers colleges, and similar
matters.
-
before opening
In the belief that these problems can be satisfactorily
solved only by the men directly in charge of the athletic programs in
the colleges it is suggested that each teic&ers college send not more
than three representatives, including the athletic coach, to a conference at Harrisburg during the time of the state Track Meet in May,
the members of this conference to be instructed to work out the rules
and regulations to govern all phases of the intercollegiate athletic
program for the teachers colleges and submit these to the Board of
Presidents for approval."
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Tanger it
was voted that the matter be referred to the Committee on Athletics,
that this committee arrange plans for a preliminary conference of
the representatives of the colleges to consider the matter of intercollegiate competition, and that the committee present the plans to
the Board of Presidents at its next meeting.

A mandatory course, "Financing and
Administering Public School Sy stems"
Mr. Klonower asked that this item be held over on the
docket for the next meeting of the Board.
H.
Procurement of recording equipment
for Speech Correction work
Doctor Rohrbach spoke of the difficulty he had experienced
with the Department of Property and Supplies in purchasing equipment for
the Speech Correction work at the college.
He stated that the Department
of Property and Supplies urged the purchase of cheap equipment which would
not serve the purpose.
-1031-
Doctor Steele and Doctor F;o7/land also stated that they
had experienced similar difficulty.
Doctor Ade asked that Mr. Klonower follow up the matter
with Mr. Crosley's office.
I.
T he granting of advanced standing
to students from other colleges
who are candidates for degrees in
State Teachers Colleges
Doctor flohrbach mentioned a specific case where a student
who would have had to complete two years of work to graduate from
the State Teachers College, Kutztown, was advised by a liberal arts
college that she could graduate in one year and then, by completing
eighteen semester hours in the field of art education at Kutztown,
could be certificated to teach art.
Mr. Klonower stated that the whole difficulty lay in the
fact that the requirements for certification in the special fields
should be thirty semester hours rather tnan eighteen semester hours,
He suggested that this matter be held in abeyance until the State
Council of Education has taken action on the resolution raising the
level of preparation.
J
•
Current policies concerning the
status of faculty members
Doctor Rohrbach stated that he had a member on his
instructional staff who came in at the beginning of the master's
degree level at a time when he was about to complete the work for
the doctor's degree.
Nov/ that he has completed his doctorate,
there is no way by which he can be raised to a higher level.
Mr. Klonower suggested that the matter is a budgetary one
and that adjustments may be made with the approval of the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction.
The whole question of the transfer of faculty members
from one institution to another at an increase in salary v/as
discussed.
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Miller it
was voted that the Budget Committee study the problem of rank in
the institution, the relation of salaries to rank, and the allocation of the higher salary levels in the various institutions for
report at the next meeting of the Board.

COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA
Departraent of Justice
The Attorney General
Harrisburg
April
2,
1936
Honorable Clarence E. Ackley,
Chief, Division of School Lav;,
Department of Public Instruction,
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Dear Doctor Ackley:
You have asked to be advised whether State funds may
be used to defray the traveling expenses of instructors of
State Teachers Colleges who are conducting extension courses.
The Act of May 29, 1931, P. L. 243, Section 40,
amending the Act of May 18, 1911, P. L. 309, Article 20,
Section 2005, and the Act of April 25, 1929, P. L. 712, Section
1,
provides:
"The Board of Presidents of the
State Teachers' Colleges shall consist
of the presidents of the several colleges
and the Superintendent of Public Instruction,
who shall be the chairman, and the board
shall elect a secretary.
The board shall
formulate the educational policies of the
colleges. * * * a majority of all members
of the board shall constitute a quorum, and
any action favored by a majority of the members
:
•
.
i
-2-
Honorable Clarence E. Ackley
shall, when approved by the Superintendent
of Public Instruction, be binding upon all
of the colleges."
The Act of May 18, 1911, P. L. 309, Article
20, Section 2010, as amended April 25,
Section
1,
1929, P. L. 712,
provides:
"It shall be the duty of the
Superintendent of Public Instruction
to prescribe all forms, and to give
all instructions required for carrying
into full effect the acts establishing
and regulating the State Teachers
Colleges on all points not herein
set forth in detail."
The General Appropriation Act of 1935 pro-
vides in part as follows concerning the use of the sum
appropriated to the State Teachers Colleges:
"and incidental expenses; and
for all other expenses of maintenance
and operation necessary for the proper
conduct of the work of the State Teachers'
Colleges, and the Cheney Training School
for Teachers, as may be authorized and
approved by the Superintendent of Public
Instruction * * *."
This same provision was contained in the General
Appropriation Act of 1933.
It appears that the extension work involved here
was properly authorized and established.
The Board of Presidents
-3-
Honorable Clarence E. i^ckley
of State Teachers Colleges, by a motion passed at a meeting
held March 15, 1935, provided that the Teachers Colleges
could furnish a certain number of extension courses.
This
policy of the Board of Presidents was approved by the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
The Superintendent of
Public Instruction also authorized expenditures for traveling expenses in connection with the extension work.
It would seem that the traveling expenses
of teachers conducting extension courses come within the
above provision of the General Appropriation ^ct relating
to Teachers Colleges.
Such traveling expenses constitute
an expense necessary for effectively administering a policy
which has been made a part of the proper work of the State
Teachers Colleges, and they have been authorized and approved
by the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
-4-
Honorable Clarence E. Ackley,
Therefore, you are advised that State funds
may be used to defray the traveling expenses of instructors of State Teachers Colleges who are conducting extension
courses.
Very truly yours,
F.
Clair Ross,
Deputy Attorney General
?OPY

for the regular summer session."
Sincerely yours,
Guy J. Swope
Budget Secretary

Report of the Curricular
Revision Committee
1.
Revision of Curriculums
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision
Committee, submitted the following report and stated that the
report was presented as the basis for consideration and discussion by the Board:
"REPORT OF THE CURRICULAR REVISION COMMITTEE
May 15, 1936
Pursuant to the principles laid down by the National
Study of Teacher Training and subsequently adopted by this Board
as the principles which should guide the study of the curriculum,
your committee desires to present the following general pattern
for a revision of the four year elementary and secondary curriculums.
This pattern for the first two years is presented for study
and discussion on the part of the Presidents and their staffs.
1.
The first two years of the elementary
and secondary curriculums shall consist
of broad, basic, liberal cultural
experience designed to acquaint the
students with the major areas of human
culture; to give the students opportunity
and assistance in discovering and developing valuable and enduring interests; to
give the teachers college staff opportunity
to evaluate the students' fitness for
teaching service and to furnish data for
more intelligent and selective admission
to the technical and professional preparation of teachers.
2.
The amount of specific professional
experience included in the first two
years shall be small and shall be
limited to courses vital to all citizens
-1036-
-
not merely to those who will teach but
also to those who will as laymen help to
determine the content and the character
of public school activities.
3.
In the first two years or lower division
every effort shall be made to furnish a
rich social environment and experience in
fine living.
This period should provide
opportunity to correct health or speech
defects, to make up deficiencies in such
subjects as art or music where in high
school or grades the student may not have
had the opportunity to reach an acceptable
standard.
4.
Throughout the first two years and continued
during the upper division wide reading on
current affairs shall be encouraged by means
of the public forum and quarterly tests in
contemporary affairs. This shall not constitute the basis for "required courses" but
the results of such tests shall be used as a
basis for study of the students' interest and
alertness in significant current affairs.
5.
Before admission to the upper division in
which the more technical and professional work
will be given, students will be required to
meet such standards of health, scholarship,
personality and character as may be set up in
addition to present entrance requirements.
Adequate records of the first two years and
careful guidance with comprehensive examinations
will furnish a more sound basis of selection.
6.
The curriculum of the first two years shall
consist of survey and sequence courses in the
following general fields:
a.
Languages and Literature
b.
Social Science
c.
Natural Science
-1037-
d.
Philosophy and Arts
e.
Health and Physical Education
7.
The technical and professional work shall be
concentrated in the third and fourth years
and shall be integrated with observation,
participation and responsible teaching in the
laboratory schools.
8.
Flexibility in administration of the third
and fourth years of the elementary curriculum shall be allowed so as to attain as far
as possible initial competence for the
beginning teacher and continued professional
and cultural growth for the experienced
teacher seeking to meet four year standard
certification.
9.
This committee is now developing suggested
outlines for study and criticism by Presidents
Suggestions are welcomed in
and their staffs.
order to assist the committee in setting up
the most productive arrangement of experience
and courses in the time available for teacher
education.
Respectfully submitted
T. T. Allen
Q. A. W. Rohrbach
Robert M. Steele
Henry Klonower "
Doctor Steele stated that the report was made with the
thought in mind that the changes in the curriculums would
affect all students entering the State Teachers Colleges and
was not meant for students who planned to complete only the
first two years of the broad cultural education recommended.
On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Ross
it was voted that the report of the Curricular Revision Committee as of May 15, 1936 be approved and that the Committee
be authorized to proceed with the development of the suggested
outline for further study and criticism by the Board at a
subsequent meeting.

Doctor Steele stated that the committee wishes to
report progress on these two items and asked that they be
continued on the docket.
Doctor Steele than read the following resolution for
consideration by the Board:
"Whereas, it is generally recognized by school
administrators and by institutions engaged in
the education and preparation of teachers
that the present minimum requirement of
eighteen (18) semester hours for certification
in the secondary and special fields is inadequate to insure competent teachers in these
fields therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Board of Teachers College
Presidents respectfully request the State
Council of Education to consider the
advisability of reviewing all requirements
for certification in the secondary and special
fields.
Respectfully submitted

"
Doctor Rowland stated that he is opposed to the
resolution because it is not possible to add more preparation
to be earned within the four-year curriculum.
He stated that
he represents an area where there are small high schools and
they will be unable to secure properly certificated teachers.
Doctor Rohrbach spoke of the differentiation in professional training between the graduates from the State Teachers
Colleges and from the liberal arts colleges.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Miller
it was voted that the resolution be adopted.
Doctor Ross voted
"no'''
on this motion.

B.
Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the committee, submitted
the following report:
"REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE MODIFICATION OF THE LAW
FOR PERMANENT CERTIFICATION IN PENNSYLVANIA
May 15, 1936
Tile present legal provision relating to the permanent
college certificate appears in The School Laws of Pennsylvania as
section 1317 which is cited here:
?
:
Tne Superintendent of Public Instruction
shall issue a permanent college certificate
to every graduate of a college or university
approved by the State Council of Education
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and of
such departments therein, as are approved
by him, when such graduate furnishes satisfactory evidence of good moral character
and successful experience of three years'
teaching in the public schools of this
Commonwealth on a provisional college
certificate, and has completed such work
in education as may be approved by the
State Council of Education, which certificate shall entitle its holder to teach
without further examination.
The committee submits these proposals for the consideration of the Board of Presidents in respect to future
practices for permanent certification:
1.
A provisional college certificate shall
be valid for five years from the date
of its issue.
2.
It may be renewed once for a period of
five years upon the presentation of
twelve credits of additional preparation
attained since the date of graduation
from college and acquired at an institution or institutions approved by the
State Council of Education.
-1040-
3.
At the time of the expiration of the
renewed provisional college certificate
the holder shall be eligible for a
permanent college certificate by presenting twelve additional credits of
preparation acquired in the manner
provided for the renewal of the provisional college certificate.
4.
The committee solicits any constructive
suggestions which you may have in evolving a plan which can be incorporated
in a revision of Section 1317 of the
School Code.

Report o f Budget C ommi ttee
1*
Allocations for 1956-57
Doctor Miller, Chairman of the Committee, submitted
the following report of the Committee:
"Report of Budget Committee
State Teachers Colleges
The budget committee, appointed by the Superintendent
of Public Instruction for the purpose of suggesting a procedure to
be followed in the distribution of $1,500,000, appropriated for
the State Teachers Colleges for the fiscal year beginning June 1,
1956, met Thursday, May 14, 1956, in room 517 Education Building,
Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Those
present were:
Dr. Carmon Ross, President, State Teachers College, Edinboro
Dr. Charles S. Miller, President, State Teachers College, Slippery Rock
Dr. T. T. Allen, President, State Teachers College ,; East Stroudsburg
Mr. D. E. Crosley, Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg
Mr. Henry Klonower, Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg
Doctor Charles S. Miller, Chairman, called the meeting
to order and reviewed the basis on which the allocations were made
for the fiscal year 1955-56.
The committee felt that in the distribution of the $1,500,000 available for the State Teachers Colleges
for the fiscal year 1956-57, a basic philosophy should be followed,
namely, that the institutions should be considered an integrated
teacher education system and that allocations should be made so
that each institution can maintain an effective educational program
to serve the best interests of the area in which it is located.
Each institution must be provided with sufficient funds to maintain
an adequate staff, the necessary laboratory facilities, and an
acceptable plant. The distribution of funds must be based on actual
needs and commensurate with the service demanded in providing an
adequate program to the service area.
The committee believes that there should be appointed
immediately a budget committee that will study a method of allocation of funds for the next biennium. This will provide for adequate
time to develop a scientific procedure based on past experiences and
future needs.
The committee is convinced that no radical change in the
plan of the current fiscal year can be made at this time and therefore recommends to the Superintendent of Public Instruction the
-1045-
following procedure for the distribution of available funds:
1.
The committee recommends that the sum
of $1,450,000 be designated as Fund
Number I. This money is to be allocated
proportionately to the fourteen State
Teachers Colleges on the basis on which
the original allocation, to the amount
of $1,398,000, was made for the fiscal
year 1935-36.
2.
The committee believes that a second
fund should be established in the amount
of $25,000 and that it be designated as
Fund Number 2 and called the adjustment
fund.
The committee recommends that the
money in this fund be allocated to the
different institutions on March 1, 1937
on the basis of enrollments as of
October 15, 1936, and that it should not
be used for any other purpose.
3.
There shall be established an emergency
fund to be known as Fund Number 3. The
amount of money allocated to this fund
should be ^25,000.
It should be available
for distribution by the State Superintendent
of Public Instruction to meet major emergencies that may develop in the institutions
from the following causes;
a.
Damages resulting from external
causes to plant and equipment.
Such emergencies would develop
from storm, flood, lightning,
et cetera.
b.
Damages resulting from internal
causes to plant and equipment.
Such emergencies would develop
from bursting water pipes,
explosion of boiler, et cetera.
The committee believes that the money in this
fund, if unallocated before March 1, 1937,
-1044-
should be distributed to the institutions
on this date on the basis of need.
Respectfully submitted,
Cannon Ross
T. T. Allan
D. E. Cros ley-
Henry Klonower
Charles S. Miller, Chairman"
Doctor Rowland asked why the contingent funds were
reduced in amount from $100,000 to $50,000.
Doctor Miller replied that the committee felt that the
matter of enrollments was not nearly as pressing now as it had
been in the past.
The committee further felt that each President
should know the amount of money that will be available rather than
to plan on the possibility of securing additional money later
from one of these funds.
-
.
Doctor Ade commended the committee on its report and
added that he was happy to state that there will be no deficits
in the budgets at the end of the fiscal year.
He then asked for
suggestions concerning the allocation of money other than those
recommended by the committee.
It was agreed that a Budget Committee should start
work at once on planning the basis for the allocations for the
next fiscal year.
Doctor Ade appointed the follov;ing Budget Committee to
plan the basis for the allocations of funds for the next biennium:
Doctor Miller, Chairman, Doctor Ross, Doctor Allen, Doctor
Rohrbach, Doctor Haas, Mr. Crosley and Mr. Klonower.
Doctor Ade asked if the Board thought it advisable to
have a man outside of the group to work with the committee.
Doctor Steele stated that it was his feeling that this
would be extremely helpful from a number of angles.
2.
Rank and salaries of members of
the instructional sta ffs
Doctor Miller, Chairman of the Budget Committee,
suggested that the new Budget Committee just appointed should
consider this question*
-1045-
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor
Rohrbach it was voted that the report of the Budget Committee
be accepted.
Doctor Ade then read the following letter from Mr.
Arthur Colegrove, Secretary of Property and Supplies, for the
information of the Board:
"Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
DEPARTMENT OF PROPERTY AND SUPPLIES
Harri sburg
May 8, 1936
Doctor Lester K. Ade
Superintendent of public Instruction
Harri sburg, Pennsylvania
Dear Doctor Ade:
It has been unofficially called to my attention that in
certain of our State Institutions, among other serious
substandard conditions, hazards exist in heating plants
due to the carrying of improper steam pressures, probably
necessitated by the existing conditions of the system.
am passing this information on to you with the thought
that you may deem it of sufficient importance to have a
check made on each institutional heating system.
I
Very truly yours
(Signed) Arthur Colegrove
Secretary of Property and Supplies"
Mr. Crosley stated that Mr. Bashore of the Department
of Labor and Industry who had been designated to clear all W.P.A.
projects for the State institutions had gone to Washington with
Mr. Jones of the W.P.A. and had received approval from Mr. Hopkins
for plans taking care of conditions in the State institutions.
He
stated that approval had been given for $600,000 although as yet no
definite allocation had been made.
Mr. Crosley further added that the Governor had requested
an appropriation of $500,000 from the General Assembly, $200, 000
of which would be used to take care of the $200,000 which was needed
to throw into the fund in order to secure the $400,000 of Federal money,
-1046-
If this amount of money is appropriated, the total amount
received by the State Teachers Colleges will be $800,000. He
suggested that the institutions have preliminary plans drawn up
and submitted to the district office of the W.P.A. so that
there would be no hold-up when the allocation of Federal money
is made.' In the event that the approval of the .,3400,000 does
not go through, the payment of architects' fees will be made
from the original $200,000 allocation already made to the
State Teachers Colleges.

Membership to the American Council
on Education
Mr. Klonower stated that he had written to Doctor
Zook asking for definite information concerning the possibility
of securing group membership for the Board of presidents to the
American Council on Education, and that he had received the
following reply from Doctor C. S. Marsh, Associate Director of
the .iiEierican Council on Education:
"AMERICAN COUNCIL ON EDUCTION

For Dr. Zook I reply to your inquiry of the fourth concerning
group membership of the Board of Presidents in the American
Council on Education.
The question raised is not fully answered either by our
practice or by our governing regulations.
I shall, therefore,
have to bring it before our Executive Committee. Just when
this Committee will next meet I do not know at the moment, but
there is some prospect of another meeting before the summer.
I
take it that this slight delay will not cause you any great
inconvenience.
If for any reason you feel that an earlier
answer is desirable, I will take other steps.
Sincerely yours

1956 Testing program of
Columbia University
Doctor Ben D. Wood, Director of the Bureau of
Collegiate Research of Columbia University, appeared before
the Board.
Doctor Wood stated that the proposal he had to make
is unofficial and preliminary in nature.
He stated that a
committee had been appointed by the Eastern States Association,
that Doctor M. Ernest Townsend, President of the New Jersey
State Normal School at Trenton, is chairman of the committee,
and that Mr. Klonower had been requested to serve on the
committee to represent Pennsylvania.
The purpose of the
Committee is to formulate a five-year experimental program
including testing and guidance, the objective of which is to
define appropriate professional standards for each grade and
level of teacher. The committee is committed to the possibility
of combining the entrance examinations of the Teachers College
Personnel dissociation with the testing program carried on by the
American Council on Education. The study is to be by and for the
teacher training institutions and the uses of the project should
be constructive rather than critical.
Doctor Wood stated that the results of the program
might be grammar i zed in four headings:
1.
Better selection of students, for entrance
not only to the lover division of the
curriculum but to the upper division.
2.
Better progressive elimination of undesirable
students from the professional courses.
In
this connection it was felt by the panel of
the Eastern States Association which met in
New York City that teacher training institutions would inevitably face the problem
of providing general education to non-professional groups.
3.
4 better progressive guidance throughout
the two years or four years of preparation
as the case may be.
-1048-
4.
Better cooperation with the schools in
the communities since the nature of the
program might relieve the institution
of the necessity of rejecting a student
who might then apply and be admitted to
another teacher training institution.
Doctor Wood expressed his appreciation of the opportunity
of speaking to the Board and stated that the whole program for
testing is the outcome of work started in Pennsylvania several
years ago. He added that the program is merely an effort to
spread this good work throughout the several states and give it
a more definite organization and continuity.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Armstrong
it was voted that the Board extend thanks to Doctor Wood for his
interesting and stimulating presentation.
Doctor Haas suggested that Mr. Klonower keep the Board
advised as to the developments of the committee of which he is
a member.

Conference of the Faculties of
the State Teachers Colleges
Mr. Klonower stated that there has been no conference
of the faculties of the State Teachers Colleges for a number of
years due to budgetary conditions.
Doctor Ade suggested that he felt that it would be
defensible to have such a conference since one had not been
held for a number of years.
He suggested that such a conference
should include representatives from groups above and below the
State Teachers Colleges, in other words, the groups supplying
the material for the State Teachers Colleges and receiving the
product of the State Teachers Colleges.
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Steele it
was voted that the Superintendent of Public Instruction be authorized
to appoint a committee of three to report back to the Board concerning the advisability of holding such a conference.
Doctor Ade appointed a Faculty Conference Committee to
consist of: Doctor Foster, Doctor Rowland, and Mr. Swope.

Memorandum of Agreement Instructional and non-instructional
staff - Annual election
Mi'. Klonower stated that a question had been raised as
to whether members of the instructional and non-instructional
staffs should be elected each year or if they continue in service
until dismissed by the Board of Trustees.
-1050-
It was brought out that some institutions elect the
members of the staffs at the close of each fiscal year while
other institutions do not annually elect instructors.
Mr. Klonower stated that the Salary Qualification
Schedule specifically states that "all contracts expire May 31."
Doctor Haas suggested that it might be advisable to
amend that section which refers to continuing contracts of
class 2, 3, and 4 school districts to include the State Teachers
Colleges.
D.
Duplicate copies of certificates
of approved training
Doctor Rowland raised a question concerning the policy
of other institutions with reference to supplying school boards
and school officials with copies of transcripts of credit.
It was brought out that Indiana, East Stroudsburg,
Lock Haven, and Cheyney furnish these transcripts when requested
to do so; California, Millersville, Clarion, Kutztown, and
Bloomsburg send out a summary of the work completed and urge
that school officials come to the office to examine the records;
Edinboro and Wast Chester send out general statements and, if
this is not sufficient, then transcripts are sent; Slippery Rock
sends out statements and urges officials to come to the office to
examine the records but, if a demand is made for transcripts,
these are sent.

the following report:
"REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
ENTRANCE TESTS FOR FRESHMEN
State Teachers Colleges
In view of the fact that the Teachers College Personnel
Association has engaged in a testing program covering several years,
and since the results of this testing program furnish comparable
data for study, it is recommended that the tests prepared by the
Association be used for Freshmen entering the Pennsylvania State
Teachers Colleges for the college year 1936-37.

The tests are as follows:
English Test, Form B
Elementary Test, Form B

Each institution will place its own order for tests.
Since the number of tests printed will depend on orders placed,
immediate notice should be sent to the Teachers College
Personnel Association at Greeley stating the number that will be
ordered.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION
HARRISBURG
May

1936
To County, Assistant County, District, Assistant District,
Associate Superintendents, Supervising Principals of
Schools, and Presidents of Accredited Pennsylvania
Colleges and Universities:
Enclosed is a mimeographed statement concerning the requirements for the State Standard Limited Certificate as they apply to teachers
who begin their preparation after January 1, 1937.
The improvement in
instructional service is not likely to be observed until a large group of
teachers who have completed the additional preparation actually secure
positions in the public schools.
It seems reasonable to conclude that the
additional preparation included within the new program will bring to the
boys and girls in the public schools an enriched type of teaching service.
The program is unique in that it provides the opportunity for
a teacher, after she has acquired an earning capacity or a teaching position,
to continue her preparation, consistent with sound scholarship and effective
teaching.
This growth in service has long been advocated as a sensible
teacher education program. While the program for the further education of
teachers does not prescribe four years of preparation immediately, it looks
forward to the eventual completion of this amount of preparation.
In this
connection it is interesting to note that the figures in the Teacher Division
show that one year ago there werp 3,902 college graduates prepared for the
elementary field teaching in the public schools and now 5,772 college graduates are teaching in the elementary schools.
The enclosed mimeographed statement is submitted to avoid misunderstandings.
In the judgment of those who have given due consideration
to the program, it is a step forward in improving the instructional service
to the boys and girls in the public schools.

THE STATS COUNCIL OF EDUCATION APPROVES PROGRAM
;'
31
1
FOR THE FURTHER EDUCATION OF TEACHERS
Doctor Lester K. Ade
,
Superintendent of Public Instruction, has
announced that the State Council of Education, at their last meeting, amended
the regulations for the certification of teachers to provide for an additional
year of preparation for the State Standard Limited Certificate.
This certificate
is now issued where the applicant has completed two years of preparation for
teaching in the elementary schools.
The new standard of education adopted by the Council applies only to
teachers who begin their preparation after January
1,
1937;
the new regulation
prescribes three years of post secondary school education instead of two years
as is now required under the present regulation.-
required this amount of preparation for
a
Some school districts have
number of years.
Teachers who have
already begun cheir preparation will not be required to do the additional sork
so that the
regulation is not retroactive nor does it apply to teachers in
service at the present time.
The regulation just approved has teen before the State Council for
three years and due consideration was given to it by educational institutions,
administrative officials and teachers.
The general opinion of the group was
that not only would the interests of the boys and girls in the public schools
be better served by the advanced education standard for beginning teachers,
but that the preparation would also provide for a better type of instructional
service.
One of the many commendable features of the program is the fact that
this certificate is valid for three years;
the certificate is renewable every
three years when the holder has completed twelve semester hours of additional
education and so on until the teacher earns her college certificate.
Th^
program will assure growth in service on the part of the teacher and will
also provide for continuous adjustments to new situations as they arise.
The preparation is secured at the time when the teacher has acquired an
earning capacity.
The program has been described as an "earning and learning"
in-service teacher education program.
While many states have adopted advanced preparation programs, few
have embodied the principle of learning while teaching.
The state of Delaware
has just adopted a program which requires four years of college preparation
New York state requires three years of preparation for teaching;
for teaching.
after October 1956, the state of Connecticut will require four years of prepa-
ration for teaching; New Jersey requires three years of preparation as
a
minimum requirement.
The teacher education program which will go into effect January 1,
1937 prescribes that the State Standard Limited Certificate shall be issued
in accordance with the following regulations:
1.
2.
The school laws specifically require that every teacher
must be;
-
a.
At least eighteen years of age
Section 1202)
b.
Of good moral character (School Code
c.
In sound physical and mental health (School Codp
Section 1520)
d.
Not in the habit of using narcotic drugs or
intoxicants (School Code - Section 1320).
(School Code
-
Section 1202).
-
Applicants for this form of certificate must have completed
an approved four year secondary school curriculum, or
approved equivalent education, and three; years, or the
equivalent, of professional preparation for teaching.
-2-
5.
This certificate will be valid for three years,
renewable for an additional period of thr-^
years upon a rating of "low" or better and the
satisfactory completion of twelve semester hours
of further approved preparation, subsequent
renewals to require a rating of "middle" or
better on a State teachers' rating score card
together with twelve semester hours of further
approved preparation.
,
4.
The State Standard Limited Certificate may be
exchanged for a provisional college certificate
when the applicant has met, the requirements for
this form of certificate.
An applicant for the State Standard Limited Certificate
should have completed at least the first three years of an approved
curriculum for the preparation of elementary teachers, including
not less than six semester hours of approved student teaching.
Additional courses prescribed for renewal purposes should be selected
in accordance v/ith the particular degree curriculum in which the
applicant has been enrolled and which should advance the holder of thState Standard Limited Certificate towards the completion of a four
year curriculum.

2.
Report of committee re "modification of
the law for permanent certification in
Pennsylvania"
Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the Committee, reported
for the committee.
He stated that the committee had discussed
the matter on different occasions but due to the various circumstances surrounding the situation, the committee had taken
no definite action.
The committee felt it would be appropriate for the
entire membership of the committee to confer with the State
Superintendent and the Secretary of the Board at an early
date to go over this matter.
3.
Report of committee re "recognition of high
schools by the Middle States Association"
Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the Committee, stated that
he felt some progress had been made.
Since the initial meeting
of the committee with Doctor McClelland at the University of
Pennsylvania several of the State Teachers Colleges had made
application for admission to the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools. Their applications are now
pending before the commission. Doctor McClelland of the
University of Pennsylvania, who is Secretary of the Association,
seemed very favorable to the matter of recognition. He is
inclined to think that the Colleges would qualify under the
existing regulations. Under the provisions of the regulations
now in effect, Teachers Colleges as such, are not members of the
Association.
He further stated that it might be well for the committee to know just which of the institutions had made application for recognition.
On a roll call, it developed that Indiana, Shippensburg
and West Chester, were the only institutions that had thus far
made application for membership.
Doctor Ross stated that they would like to make application but they did not know from where the .$25.00 fee was to
come.
-940-
Doctor Armstrong stated that he felt since the
institutions were uniform in all that they do, curriculums,
entrance requirements, graduation requirements, the fees,
et cetera, he did not see why, if one or two of the larger
institutions made application and met the standards set up
by the Association, the remaining Colleges could not be
admitted without formal application. He did not see why,
since the Teachers Colleges are State-owned and Statecontrolled, if one or two of the Colleges are eligible to
membership, are not all of them eligible without formal
application?
,
Doctor Rowland stated that the recommendation of
the committee which met with Doctor McClelland was to the
effect that the application of each State Teachers College
be studied on its own merits and admission to membership
in the Association of the Middle States and Maryland be
individual after each institution had complied with the
requirements set up by the Commission.
Doctor Rohrbach stated that he felt because of
the fact that the. institutions are State-owned and Statecontrolled, if any of the Teachers Colleges could not meet
the requirements set up by the Association, then it was up
to the State to exercise such measures as it has within
its power to see that if one institution meets the requirements the remaining ones do also.
Doctor Rowland stated that as Chairman of the
Committee he would like to be informed as to the progress
the different institutions make in their individual application for admission to the Association.
4.
Budgets for 1S55-57 biennium
Doctor Haas, Chairman of the Committee, reported
for the committee.
He submitted the following report:

:
"Doctor Lester K. Ade

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
July 24, 1935
Dear Doctor Ade;
The Committee which you have appointed to make suggestions relative
to the budget situation for State Teachers Colleges for the 1935-37
biennium respectfully submits for your consideration the following
report
1933-35 Distribution: -

1933-35 biennium and in this respect attention is
called to the following:
a.

c.
Suggested Standards for the Administration of
the State Teachers Colleges
Report of the Meeting of the Budget Committee
of the Board of Presidents of March 26, 1934
Proposal for a Comprehensive Plan upon which
to base Allocations to State Teachers Colleges
It is the belief of the committee that the final method of
allocation used during the last biennium represented an
improvement over previous attempts to distribute equitably
the State appropriation to the State Teachers Colleges. It
seems to be the general belief, however, that the weakness
of the method lies in the fact that allocations were made
on a past situation for a future condition.
Questions Raised by Members of the Board of Presidents:
2.
The committee immediately following its appointment invited
comments, suggestions, and questions from the members of the
Board and the following are the major ones that have been
received:
a«
Is any part of the $3,200,000 prejudiced legally by
the requirements of other State Departments, such
as Labor and Industry for the Fire and Panic Act,
Department of Health, Department of Property and
Supplies?

Have any appropriations been made to other Departments for the purpose of serving the State Teachers
Colleges; for example, to Property and Supplies for
construction, to the Department of Highways for
roads, et cetera?
What is the situation as regards the possibility
of the State Teachers Colleges benefiting from
Federal Aid either directly or through combination
with part of the present appropriation to meet
such requirements as those of the Department of
Labor and Industry?
Should the present schedule of fees be reviewed?
Should Uniform regulations be made relative to
non-resident students using the dormitory
facilities?
What policy is to be followed relative to the
restoration of salary cuts? This concerns both
campus and cooperative teacners.
Is it desirable to modify the policy now in
effect relative to the limitation of enrollment?
Should any consideration, be given to deficiencies
from the previous biennium in distributing the
present appropriation?
Is it possible to relate more closely the distribution for the coming biennium to the actual
enrollment than has been done in the past?
1935-37 Distribution: -
Following your suggestion your committee reviewed:
a.
b.
The method used for the 1933-35 situation
The questions raised by members of the Board
c.
The statement 'State Allocations - Teachers
Colleges' which you sent to the committee
under date of July 12, 1935.
of Presidents
At my suggestion Mr. kcClure presented a statistical statement
translating these proposals into actual figures for the
biennium 1933-35. It is the opinion of the committee that
these proposals represent a further development in the effort
of distributing equitably the State appropriation and it is
suggested that a preliminary distribution of approximately 50$
of the first year's allocation be made to each institution on
the basis of last year's facts as translated by Mr. McClure
-945-
Doctor Lester K. Ade (3)
and that about November 1 when all the facts involved for
the first year of the new biennium are available final
allocations and budgets for the year 1935-36 be made. This
will permit the institutions to organize the work for the
first semester and give the Presidents additional time to
study more carefully the latest plan proposed.
The committee desires to reaffirm its belief in the
philosophy and policy stated in the report to the Board
of Presidents under date of March 26, 1934 and therefore
respectfully takes exception to the statement appearing
on page three and again on page four of the recent proposal
relative to summer session salaries to the effect that
'total faculty salaries should be limited to the income
yielded by the contingent fees.'
It is the belief of the committee that the appropriation is
made for a two-year period and that therefore in general
the budget should be considered for a two-year period and
that the preparation of new teachers and of teachers-inservice are part of a desirable program of public education
on the part of tiie State.
In administering further the twoyear period it seems reasonable to use the year consisting of
a regular session and a summer session as the minimum period
for balancing budgets and it seems reasonable especially
during the present period to require teachers-in-service to
pay part of the training-in-service costs. However, in
questions of public policy such as public education it seems
reasonable to believe that the main objective of the State
is to secure the type of teacher desired rather than to make
money or to balance the budget on paper.
The committee believes that the year including the regular
session and the summer session should be considered as an
administrative unit and that the institution be required
on the basis of the experience of the first year to balance
its budget during the second year so that there will be a
balanced budget for the biennium without any deficiencies.

STATE ALLOCATIONS - TEACHERS COLLEGES
Discussion of Factors to be Considered
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Size of college
Enrollments in and kind of curricula offered
Resident proportion of total enrollment
Local receipts
Variation in local costs
The size of a college and the kind of curricula offered have a
direct bearing on the ratio of students to faculty. Large colleges,
curricula being the same, average larger classes than smaller colleges.
There is also a wide variation in size of classes among certain curricula.
Thus, a statement of comparative student-teacher ratios is not significant
without a standard of measurement that recognizes the above factors.
During periods of fluctuating and declining enrollments,
faculties either in number or in total salaries, are thrown out of line
with enrollments.
Coupled with reduced appropriations it becomes necessary by vertical or horizontal cuts to restore such a relationship as
will balance the budget on the instructional side.
This restoration is
not affected in the same degree by each college. Any equitable system
of computing allocations must take cognizance of this factor in order to
avoid discrimination.
Food and other housing costs represent a large part of total
operating costs. As between colleges of similar enrollment, the one
with the larger resident group will show the larger total expenditure.
Expressed in terms of Class I student per capita, the college with the
larger resident enrollment will have the higher per capita cost.
This
is the principal reason why a distribution of allocations on a per
capita basis is inequitable unless the unit 'per capita' is made to
have a common significance.
.Local receipts vary among the colleges according to the resident
population and to special curricula for which extra fees are assessed.
Resident student per capita costs vary among colleges of similar size,
not necessarily because of a difference in quality of food or other accommodations, but because of variation in resident population. The resident
proportion of total enrollments ranges from 20$ to 10 / among the various
colleges.
If two colleges filth housing facilities for the same number of
students show such a variation in housing facilities utilized, the one
with the larger resident group will have considerably lovrer per capita
housing costs than the one with the smaller resident group.
Since the
housing fees are not based on local costs, but are uniform among all the
colleges, a differential is created between housing costs and housing
income which must be recognized in making allocations.
:
Procedure for Calculating Allocations
In order that colleges might prepare their budgets, based on
total available funds, at the beginning of each year, allocations have
been based on the preceding year's enrollments because the figures for
the current year are not available until after the first semester's
registration. A more accurate procedure would be to make a partial
allocation at the beginning of the year and a supplemental allocation
in October, after the enrollment figures are available.
-945-
In making allocations, the following approach is recommended:
Determine faculty salaries by a formula which recognizes the
1.
Class I enrollment in various curricula; the student clock hour relationship in each curriculum to the credit hour graduation requirements; the
variation in average size classes among colleges because of their size
and kinds of curricula; and the teacher's student- clock- hour teaching
load which is the product of size of classes and hours of teaching.
2.
Calculate faculty salaries for the summer session as the product
of the enrollment and $30.00.
In other words, the average contingent
fee paid by summer students is approximately $30.00.
Total faculty
salaries should be limited to the income yielded by the contingent fees.
After provisions have been made for all faculty salaries which

amount to approximately 45$ of the total operating costs, the remaining
operating costs are determined for each group of colleges on a per capita
basis (Class I plus 1/6 S.S.) which varies with the percentage of resident
enrollment for each college within each group.
The total of all the foregoing steps represents the total calculated
After deducting estimated local receipts, the remainder is the
amount required from allocations. Any excess available should be distributed as a uniform percentage on operating costs other than faculty

salaries.
When funds are available for additions, major repairs and
replacements, the allocations should be distributed as a percentage of
total investments in buildings and equipment at each college.
For purposes of illustration, assume the following hypothetical

Since the local salary average given is $2500, the total

Summer Sessi on
The summer session enrollment of 300 students pay contingent
fees of -^30 each, or a total of ^9,000. Teachers' salaries for the
summer session should be limited to this amount.
Other Operating Costs
Operating costs other than teachers' salaries are found to
vary within each group of colleges segregated by size, according to
the resident per cent of the total enrollment.
The above college is
in the group having from 500 to 699 Class I students.
In colleges of
this size with 60/o resident students as given in the example, the rate
of ^219 per capita of total equated Class I students applies.
The total number of Class I students on a 36 weeks basis equals
500 plus 1/6 of the summer session enrollment (300) or a total of 550
students.
This number at ^219 per capita equals .^120,450.
Assume that the local receipts amount to ^150,450.

Any excess funds available after the above calculations are
made should be distributed as a percentage of 'Other Operating Costs'.
If, for example, a sufficient sum were available to give each college
10yo of 'Other Operating Costs,' the above college would receive 10,£
of $120,450 or $12,045.
This, added to the above $69,450, would make
a total of ;? 81,495."

Doctor Haas stated that the members of the committee had
not seen the final draft of the report, but that it represented a
summary of the meeting held with the entire committee yesterday.
He further explained that a copy of the distribution plan would be
furnished later by Lr. Crosley's office if the Presidents so desired.
Doctor Haas explained that the committee recognizes the
necessity for a "reserve fund" on the part of the Superintendent of
Public Instruction so that emergencies could be taken care of where
such might develop during the year; if any amount remained in the
"reserve fund" near the close of each year this could then be allocated
to the institutions where it was felt the greatest need developed for
an additional amount to carry on the work of the institution.
Mr. Crosley appeared before the members of the Board and
stated in accordance with the statement made by Doctor Haas that he
v,ould be glad to have copies of the distribution plan made and forwarded to the Presidents.
Doctor Haas stated that he felt the only immediate need
was the necessity of setting up some situation by which the institutions could budget their needs up to November 1, 1935 and meet
the budget regulations of the Governor's Budget Office.
Doctor Haas further advised each one of the Presidents to
take the proposed plan, study it and apply the formula to his institution.
Doctor Ross stated he could see at a glance that if the
proposed plan is worked out as suggested, he will have to administer
another cut and that it will be necessary for him to dismiss additional teachers.
Doctor Haas stated that this is the very purpose of submitting the plan. The institutions should work out their needs up
to November 1, 1935 in terms of the proposed plan; if the proposed
plan does not work out, then we will have to get another plan, but
he did not think it was fair for any one of the Presidents to draw
conclusions at once without first studying the proposed plan.
Doctor Ade stated that he had gone over this whole situation with Mr. Crosley and Mr. McClure during an evening session and
he felt as Doctor Haas had stated, that it was not a good thing to
draw conclusions without studying the plan in detail and applying
it to the individual institution.
-948-
He stated that he would like to hold up the definite
allocations for the year 19-35-36 until November 1, 1935 as had
been proposed, and then make the budget allocations final in
view of the enrollment figures, and with the consent of the
Eoard, this would be done.
Doctor Ade felt that there was need for a "reserve

fund" but probably not as large as last year.
stated that the very first thing we shall need is a report of
the urgent repairs necessary in each institution, fthen such a
list is submitted by the college, it should list the repairs
in the form of their urgency.
This list should be in the
Department by Friday, July 26, 1935. These repairs insofar as
possible should be started during the month of August.
Doctor Rohrbach asked whether it would not be a good
thing to keep in mind in submitting the proposed repairs, the
possibility of having work done on the P. W. A. basis whereby
the institutions would furnish the material only.
Mr. Crosley stated that this is possible in areas where
there is a great number of unemployed close to the college and
should be done because it would save money for the State and the
college.
He further stated that if any of the colleges had projects
they wanted handled this way, the projects should be sent to him at
once.
He would see that they are taken up immediately with Mr.
Jones, P. Vv. A. Administrator for Pennsylvania.
Doctor Rowland stated that it was revealed yesterday in
connection with the budget, that the Fire and Panic Act of the
Department of Labor and Industry had prejudiced the appropriation
of the State Teachers Colleges to the sum of about two
hundred
thousand dollars. He felt that this sum could be reduced if the
matter were taken up with the proper authorities. It would
appear that some of tne less urgent items which were suggested
might be postponed under the circumstances of this reduced budget.
He felt that it was the thought of the committee the State Superintendent should be requested to contact the proper authorities
with a view to setting up the very minimum amount required for the
repair of the items which had been previously suggested by the
Department of Labor and Industry.
If the total amount as suggested
must be taken out immediately, it will force the general appropriation for operating expenses below the level of what we had last year.
Doctor Ade stated that in light of what had been suggested,
he would be glad to contact Mr. Bashore and find out definitely
what could be done along this line.
-949-
Doctor Foster stated that he would like to know
whether there is any possibility of restoring the salary cuts
which were made to the teachers in the colleges. He felt it
v.ould be one of the finest things that could be done; if the
entire cut could not be restored, part of it might be restored.
Doctor Rowland stated that he did not see, in the
light of the present appropriation, how it was possible to
restore any part of the salary cuts. He felt it would take
around $600,000.00 to restore the salary cuts in their
entirety and he did not see from where this amount of money
would come
Doctor Haas stated that what he would like to see in
the final analysis of the salary situation is a more uniform
schedule throughout the institutions.
He felt that if it was
necessary for one or two of the institutions to reduce only 10$
for the summer session in addition to the 10$ already in effect,
then some provision should be made so that other institutions
would not find themselves in a position of reducing as much as
40$; in other words, if the teacher of English in one college
Ttas reduced only 10$, that should be the reduction for English
teachers in all the institutions.
He would like to see some
scheme worked out whereby this would be true in all the Teachers
Colleges.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Rowland
it was voted that the report of the Budget Committee be accepted
as submitted and that each President study the suggestions made
in the report.
On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Miller it
was voted that the regulation with regard to reductions of salaries
of instructors in effect lost year be continued at least for the
first semester of the present year or until such time as we know
the increase in enrollment figures and the total amount of money
available for the fiscal year 1935-36.
The regulation referred to is found on pages 821 and
822 of the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Presidents,
June 16, 1933 and is as follows:
"Effective June 1, 1933, the salaries of all employees
in the State Teachers Colleges be reduced 10$ with
the understanding that any exceptions to this reduction shall be taken only with the approval of the
Superintendent of Public Instruction;
And provided that, the reduction of 10$ be applied
to every person in the institution with the understanding that the operation of this reduction shall
cause no cash salary to be less than ^750 on an
annual basis;
-950-
And with the further understanding, that
allowance for maintenance whether paid in
cash or in maintenance service, shall not
be included in the amount to be reduced;
And with the further understanding, that
the ^750 limitation shall not be applied
to cooperative teachers."
Doctor Haas, Doctor Ross, Doctor Rohrbach and Doctor
Riemer voted "no" on this resolution.

Transfer students
Doctor Allen stated that Doctor Rowland had written to
him concerning the regulation of the "Rules and Regulations
Governing Athletic Competition in the State Teachers Colleges"
It seemed as far as he
and that he had replied to Doctor Rowland.
was concerned the matter was settled if Doctor Rowland was satisfied with the interpretation given by the Chairman of the Athletic
Committee.
Doctor Rowland stated that he had a case of a person
who had completed two years of work and had received a certificate
of graduation and then desired to re-enter a State Teachers
College; should such a person be considered as a transfer student
or as a new student?
If the student is considered as a "transfer
student" he is not eligible to eater athletic competition for at
least one year and if he is not considered as such, he may enter
athletic games in the second institution in which he is matriculated. Doctor Rowland pointed out that this is apparently the
way the ruling operated and he was not sure that it was so
intended.
Doctor Allen stated that the committee had so ruled and
the ruling had been sustained by the Board, the original ruling was
passed under date of December 5, 1929 and is found on page 445 of
the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Presidents of that date.
This position was reaffirmed in the minutes of the meeting of the
Board of Presidents under date of March 23, 1932, page 642.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Tanger
it was voted that the committee reconsider the former interpretation
and report at the next meeting of the Board of Presidents.

Doctor Ade to submit to the Attorney General, Honorable Charles J.
Margiotti, as well as a copy of a letter to Doctor Ade, Superintendent
of Public Instruction in explanation of the situation and in order to
inform the Superintendent why this request was necessary. A copy of

"Doctor Lester K. Ade
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
July 23, 1S35
Dear Doctor Ade:
I am attaching herewith the report of the Fee Committee
of the Board of Presidents relating to a question which
has arisen with regard to the collection of the activity
fee in the State Teachers Colleges.
This question arose
last semester as a result of an inquiry of the Auditor
General's Department as to the legality of the present
procedure in the State Teachers Colleges with reference to
the collection of this fee.
The State Superintendent of Public Instruction authorized
the Fee Committee to study the situation and present a
brief for the Attorney General on the basis of which a
review of the situation might be made. Our Committee was
authorized to take the matter up informally with the
Attorney General, which we have done.
The Attorney General
requested that we submit a clear picture of the situation
in letter form.
This the Committee has done and the
attached is the suggested communication to the Attoenry
General which we feel should go to him either over your
signature or over the signatures of the Committee, whichever you may decide is the most expedient way of handling
the matter.
Sincerely yours

July 23, 1935
Honorable Charles J. Margiotti
Attorney General
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
Harri sburg Pennsylvania
,
Dear Mr
.
Margiotti:
When the State Teachers Colleges were placed under the Administrative Code, Act No. 175, approved April 9, 1929, the book rooms and
certain activities of the Colleges were placed under the State's jurisdiction. The moneys collected in the book room and the activity fee
receipts were turned into the State Treasury. The operation of these
departments through the State of Pennsylvania became so burdensome and
ineffective, and tnere was so much opportunity to misconstrue the use
of this money paid in by the students as taxpayers* money, that the Board
of Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges appealed to the Attorney
General's Office through Doctor Rule to have the book room and the
activity fee operated through a student-faculty cooperative organization,
thus making it possible to operate these functions just as any student
activity is operated in the College. There are scores of organizations
in the Colleges collecting dues and controlling their own activities in
every way. Our appeal was to set up a student organization that would
make it possible for us to operate the book room and the activity fee in
the same way as other organizations operate on the campus.
In formal opinion No. 70, dated October 31, 1932, a copy of
which is attached hereto, we were given to understand that it would be
entirely legal and possible for us to set up such an organization to
control the book rooms of the Colleges.
On the day we v,ere instructed
to put this new type of organization into effect, we were also instructed
to administer the activity fee in the same way, using the same organization in the College to function in this respect. A Constitution and By-laws
was adopted and approved by the Board of Trustees of each College.
A copy
of this Constitution as it affects the State Teachers College, Indiana,
Pennsylvania, is attached hereto. Since all students were asked to contribute the membership fees to support the activity fee of the College,
someone raised the question as to whether this fee did not then become a
part of the fee system and ought, therefore, to be turned into the State
Treasury as receipts of the College. The auditors of the Auditor General's
Department have raised this question in the audits of the Colleges for the
last fiscal year.
Under date of November 27, 1934, another formal opinion No. 155,
was issued by the .attorney General's Office which plainly states that it
would be possible for the Colleges to operate this activities program
through a cooperative association, but stipulates that the membership in
this organization must be entirely 'voluntary'.
This word 'voluntary' is
causing all of our trouble. There is a general feeling that if this organization is operated upon a voluntary basis, we will lose so much revenue that
the program will break down in all of the Colleges.
It is generally conceded that the modern college must educate not
only along formal lines but must provide also social education by offering
to students and faculties opportunities for education through participation
in social projects generally grouped under the heading of extra-curricular
-953-

institution which has, as its object, the preparation and education of

extra-curricular activities as distinguished from the formal maintenance
and instructional activities of the college that are supported by the socalled activities fee.
The Board of Presidents respectfully invites your attention to
Section 2009, page 147, and Section 2014, page 149, of the School Laws of
Pennsylvania, 1933 edition, which state in part:
Section 2009
Provided, however, in addition to
such appropriations, the board of trustees may fix and
charge such fees as may be necessary for the proper
operation of the college. (Amended May 29, 1931, P. L.

edition which says:
(d) To collect all amounts, payable by or for pupils, for
instruction and maintenance in State-owned educational
institutions, including State Normal Schools and State
Teachers Colleges
and respectfully raises the question as to whether or not these tv/o statements
do not recognize the fact that the board of trustees has the authority to
arrange for the collection of fees to operate both (a) the instructional and
maintenance side of the institution and (b) the so-called extra-curricular
side of the institution and is it not the intent of the section in the Fiscal
Code that only those fees intended for maintenance and instruction are to be
collected by the Revenue Department and deposited in the State Treasury.
The administration of this work under our present procedure is a
very great improvement over the system in effect when we operated through
State procedures. We are appealing to the Attorney General's Office at the
present time to ask to have this opinion reviewed to see if there is not some
possible legal way that we could continue to operate upon our present basis.

7.
Pre-summer and post- summer session for
teachers in service
Mr. Klonower explained that this item had been on the
docket for some time and that the members of the Board had
given it some consideration. There is a growing tendency on
the part of colleges and universities to offer a more extended
program during the summer for teachers in service and for those
teachers who wish to qualify for the baccalaureate degree. Many
of the institutions offer "pre-summer" and "post- summer"
sessions in addition to the regular summer session of either six
or nine weeks.
It was the general feeling that the State Teachers
Colleges should offer broader opportunities during the summer
session for teachers in service.
Doctor Steele stated that this problem brought up the
question very definitely as to whether or not the Teachers
Colleges should go on a quarterly basis.
This ties in with the
revised curriculums with which the Curri cular Revision Committee
are working.
Mr. Klonower stated that if we can work out a quarterly
term bases, we might persuade school boards to release teachers
during the school year to pursue courses for professional improvement for an entire quarter.
Doctor Rowland stated that he was highly sympathetic with
the thoughts expressed concerning the matter of an extended or
lengthened summer session program and that he felt the Board might
suggest to Doctor Ade the appointment of a small committee of the
Board to think through this matter and report at a subsequent meeting or in time that something definite might be planned for the
summer session of 1S36.
Doctor Ade stated that if such a committee were appointed,
he would like to see it empowered with a broader function.
He felt
very definitely that there is another great uncultivated field,
namely, in-service teacher education. He suggested that the committee consider this matter and that it should be one of the parts
of a broader program to be developed.
-955-
Doctor Ade further stated he felt that the colleges were
doing excellent work with the pre- service program, but he felt that
as far as serving the needs of the Commonwealth for in-service education, we should have a much better and broader program.
On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Rowland it
was voted that the Superintendent appoint a committee to work out
some suggestive plan for an extended summer session program, as
well as, a more extended program for in-service preparation for the
teachers of the public schools.
Doctor Ade asked for suggestions as to the personnel of the
committee.
Doctor Allen stated that inasmuch as this problem is tied
up very definitely with the revision of curriculums which is a very
vital problem at the present time, he would like to suggest the
appointment of the Chairman of the Curri cular Revision Committee to
membership on this committee.
Doctor Foster suggested the appointment of Doctor Miller
and Doctor Ross to this committee.
Doctor Ade, therefore, appointed the following committee:
Doctor Miller, Chairman, Doctor Ross, Doctor Steele and Doctor Tanger,
and asked that they submit a report at the next meeting of the Board.
Doctor Rowland stated that we now have approximately forty
thousand teachers in Pennsylvania without the college degree and many
of them will ?/elcome an opportunity to come back into the institutions
under favorable conditions and complete their preparation for a degree,
Doctor Ade asked that the committee take into consideration
the comments made and prepare a report for the Board.

New Business
1.
Composite advertisement in the
Pennsylvania School Journal
Mr. Klonower explained that the contract with the Pennsylvania
State Education Association with respect to the composite advertisement
which appears on the back cover page of the School Journal for ten
issues, from September to and including June of each year, expired with
the June issue.
If the members of the Board wish to continue the composite advertisement, it is necessary to enter into a new contract.
Mr. Klonower further explained that this year there is to be a
change in the size of the School Journal and the rates will be increased
slightly.
Doctor Kelley as Executive Secretary of the Pennsylvania State
Education Association, had written Mr. Klonower a letter explaining the
new rates for the advertising space. A copy of the letter follows:

My dear Mr. Klonower:
We shall be very glad, indeed, to have the State Teachers
Colleges continue to use the back cover of the Journal for the composite advertisement for the school year 1935-36, as they have done
for the past few years.
As you know, the Executive Council is changing the
Pennsylvania School Journal beginning with the September issue to
a standard size of magazine, such as, Time,
a Journal 8-^" by llg "
The Literary Digest, and about twenty-one other State Education
Journals, thus a Journal which for eighty years, as far as format
is concerned, has been changeless amid unceasing change, succumbs
to the new order.
The Journal will be streamline in many respects
and will, without doubt, be a much more creditable house organ
than our present magazine.
,
The Chicago office of State Teachers Magazines, Inc.,
has provided us a new rate card based upon our new Journal. Our
new rate card and advertising prospectus are now in the hands of
the printer, but I will see that a copy of each is sent you as soon
as copies are available.
Our rates are up somewhat but this is the
first time that our rates have been changed since July, 1925, when
our circulation was 55,061.
Our circulation at the present time is
58,083 with a possible increase of 2,584, totaling 60,667, depending
upon legislation now pending to distribute the Journal to the 2,584
school board secretaries of the Commonwealth.
Should th-> Board of Teachers College Presidents feel that
the new rate for the back cover, $250,00, is too high, perhaps they
would be willing to shift to the inside of the front cover or the
inside of the back cover at ,£225.00 an issue.
The new regular full
page rate (not preferred position) is £200 an issue.
Assuring you of our great desire to continue the splendid
cooperation we have enjoyed with the State Teachers Colleges, I am
Very truly yours

Doctor Ade asked whether or not this ad could not be
changed from time to time in order to give more variety and
perhaps make it more forceful.
On motion of Doctor Ross, seconded by Doctor Foster it
that the composite advertisement of t he State Teachers
voted

School Journal at the new rate of |250.00 an issue, beginning
with September 1935 and ending with June 1936, with the provision
that the form of the advertisement be changed from time to time.
2.
Meeting of Deans of Instruction
Mr. Klonower explained that some time ago the Board had
authorized a meeting of the Deans of Instruction, but because of
extenuating circumstances, the meeting was not held.
He further stated that from the point of view of the
work in the Teacher Division and because of interpretations that
have to be made from time to time, it would be extremely helpful
and professionally stimulating if a meeting of the Deans were
held each year.
On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Miller it
was voted that the meeting of the Deans of Instruction be held in
October during the time of the Education Congress.
3.
Expense accounts of the Presidents
Doctor Foster stated that he felt it was professionally
unsound to adopt a policy restricting the Presidents in the matter
of rendering service in their areas.
Expenses for such service
did not involve a great amount of money but there was a principle
involved. When a request was made for the President of the College
to render a service to any district within his service area, of course
in a professional matter, it should be granted and the expense considered a legitimate expense against the approved traveling item of
the College.
Doctor Rohrbach raised the question as to what should be
done with the expense accounts of the instructors in the Teachers
Colleges who go into the field and perform duties in connection with
their work at the College. There are cases when a local district
asks for help from the College and they do not have funds to pay
even as much as the traveling expenses, and in such cases the College
meets the expense, because it has been felt that such services are
professional in character and do represent legitimate expenditures
on the professional side of the institution.
-958-
Doctor Foster stated that there should be some policy
or statement to the effect as to what expenditures could be
charged against the traveling item of the approved budget as
far as the Presidents and instructors are concerned in order to
avoid any embarrassment in the future.
Doctor Ade informed the members of the Board that he
consider
the matter and advise the Presidents.

to prepare a "dummy" of some sort in anticipation of this delay.
5.
Student teaching credit for teachers
with five or more years of experience
in the public schools
Doctor Foster stated that this is becoming an increasingly difficult problem to handle because many teachers with
teaching experience are returning to the colleges to complete the
work for the degree and many of them have had a course at some
time or other in "practice teaching"; others feel that they should
be allowed to substitute successful teaching experience for this
requirement.
It would seem that in the light of the changing conditions, a change in policy with respect to the student teaching
requirement should be set up.
it appeared that
I*, many cases,
teachers with successful experience could take other courses in
lieu of the student teaching with considerable profit to themselves,
Doctor Rohrbach stated that he felt a very good way in
which this could be done, and which he had seen worked out very
satisfactorily, was to ask the teacher to work out an actual
project in the schoolroom where he or she was teaching under the
supervision of the Director of the Training School of the College.
V.hen the Director of the Training School was satisfied that the
project was a good one and produced results, then the institution
allowed credit for the student teaching requirement as required
for graduation by the college or university.
This, of course, was
only done in the case of teachers who had successful teaching
experience and it was felt they could profit more from such a
project than they could by repeating the student teaching course.
-959-
Doctor Rowland stated that he agreed with the thought
expressed by Doctor Rohrbach and that they had done this at
Shippensburg in one or two circumstances with experienced
teachers. He felt that it had worked out very satisfactorily.
He further suggested that the Curricular Revision
Committee might be the appropriate committee to take up this
matter and work out some uniform policy <?ith regard to the
student teaching requirement for experienced teachers.
Doctor Cameron stated that he heartily endorsed what
was outlined by Doctor Rohrbach. He felt that the need was to
bring these experienced teachers to a higher level in the
"techniques of teaching" and a project such as Doctor Rohrbach
outlined, he felt, would do this very thing.
Doctor Ross stated that he felt teachers vdth long
experience should be given some credit for that successful
teaching experience in the student teaching course.
Doctor Haas stated that he felt the reasonable solution to the problem is that the President of the institution or
Dean of Instruction, if he is the one to settle the question of
equivalents, should satisfy himself that the requirements of
the curriculum have been met by either taking the course or
compensating in the number of semester hours in other preparation.
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Rohrbach
voted that this matter be referred to the Curricular
Revision Committee with the suggestion that they bring in a report
at the next meeting of the Board.
This should be presented in a
concrete form and should take into consideration the whole question
of equivalent courses and who should assume the responsibility for
passing on equivalent courses.

Meetings of Teachers
-
bulletin
Mr. Klonower distributed an advance copy of the bulletin
"Meetings of Teachers" and stated that this concerned the State
Teachers Colleges in a very important way. The General Assembly
modified the Section of the School Code with reference to Institutes
which now makes it mandatory for the County Superintendent to call
together all the teachers of his County for a two-day session or
the equivalent of two days for professional meetings.
Prior to
this time the provision was permissive and not all County Superintendents held the Institute or its equivalent.
He pointed out that the "Meetings of Teachers" do afford
an additional professional opportunity for the State Teachers
Colleges to assume leadership in raising the quality of instruction
in the classroom.
-960-
Doctor Rowland asked that an interpretation be
"Each
secured on the following part of Section 2101:
Superintendent may also invite members of the teaching and
supervisory staffs of the other districts and of institutions of learning within the county to attend such meeting
or meetings."
He stated that the wording within the county
should have a little broader meaning than it would seem to
indicate. He asked whether an interpretation could be secured
concerning this wording.
Mr-.
Klonower stated that the interpretation would
be secured.
7
Minutes of the meetings of th e
Boards of Trustees
The attention of the Board was called to Section II
of the RULES AND REGULATIONS, UNIFORM BY-LAWS OF THE BOARDS
OF TRUSTEES, STATE TEACHERS COLLEGES, to wit:
"A certified copy of the minutes of each
meeting shall be sent to the Superintendent
of Public Instruction as promptly as
possible after each meeting."
Mi". Klonower stated that it would be very helpful
if a copy of the minutes were sent to the Department promptly
after each meeting in order that the Superintendent may see
v.hat
action had been taken by the Boards of Trustees, since
necessary for the Superintendent to approve such action.
it was
8.
Curriculum
-
English Speech
Mr. Klonower stated that a curriculum in English
Speech had been received from the President of the State
Teachers College at Kutztown. The usual procedure had been
to refer all such matters to the Curri cular Revision Committee
for review and recommendation to the State Superintendent.
Doctor Rohrbach stated that this was not his impression.
He thougnt that sucn matters were referred to the State Council
of Education for approval or disapproval as had been done in the
case of Lock Haven when it applied for permission to establish a
curriculum in Health and Physical Education leading to the
baccalaureate degree.
Doctor Haas stated that up to the time Lock Haven had
applied for permission to offer the special curriculum in Health
and Physical Education the procedure as described by Mr. Klonower
had been in effect. The Curricular Revision Committee had
-961-
reviewed all the curriculums as to content, semester hour
distribution, et cetera, and that the allocation of the
curriculum to the institution v/as a function of the State
Superintendent and not the State Council of Education, if
and when money was available for the administration of the
curriculum.
Doctor Ross stated that he felt the members of
the Board should know when additional curriculums are approved
in the State Teachers Colleges.
Doctor Armstrong stated that he was aware of the
fact that their application for permission to offer the
special curriculum in Health and Physical Education had
caused some uneasiness and trouble, but they thought that the
proper procedure had been followed. Tney had been so advised
by the Superintendent of Public Instruction and had later been
inspected and investigated by the proper persons designated by
the State Council.
When the original application was made,
Doctor Armstrong stated, that he had written to each President
notifying him to the effect that they were applying for such
permission.
Doctor Haas asked that the Super intendent of Public
Instruction review tne policy which had been in effect with
reference to the allocation of special curri culums in the
State Teachers Colleges.
Doctor Ade stated that he would be glad to do this.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor
Miller it was voted that the Curriculum in English Speech presented by the State Teachers College at Kutztown be referred to
the Curricular Revision Committee for review and report at the
next meeting of the Board.
9.
Health care of students - suggestions
from State Board of Medical Education
and Licensure
Mr. Klonover stated that a letter had been received
from Doctor I. D. Metzger, Chairman of the State Board of Medical
Education and Licensure, together with a copy of the outline
which he had submitted for the information of the members of the
Board a few years ago.
A copy of this outline suggesting the
duty of a physician employed for part-time or full-time service
in the State Teachers Colleges is found on pages 675 and 674 of
the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Presidents held May 13,
19 32.
-962-
It seemed that the institutions were following this
but
tnat due to budgetary limitations not all tho
outline,
institutions were able to employ full-time physicians in the
Colleges.

Miscellaneous
1.
Special case of student completing work in the
field of Science
Doctor Ade called the attention of the members of the Board to
a specific case where a graduate of one of the State Teachers Colleges
-965-
had been denied pre-professional credit for courses completed in
the field of Science.
He asked the members of the Board whether
in their judgment the work could be considered the equivalent of
academic courses completed elsev/here.
It was the unanimous opinion of the Board that since
the State Teachers Colleges were "accredited colleges by the
State Council of Education" courses completed in these institutions should be considered on the same basis as courses completed
in other "accredited colleges."
2.
Education Congress
-
October £-10, 1935
Doctor Ade called the attention of the members of the
Board of Presidents to the tentative plans that were being
developed for the program of the Education Congress to be held
October 9-10, 1935 in. Harris burg.
He stated that he had given some thought to the program
for this meeting and that it would be a good thing to make the
entire meeting professional.
He further stated that if any member of the Board of
Presidents had concrete suggestions to make with reference to
the development of the program, he Tvould appreciate it if the
Presidents would write directly to him.
The meeting adjourned at 1:30 o'clock.

Report of the Curri cul^r Revision Committee
A.
Revision of curri culums
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision
Committee, reported for the committee.
He stated that the committee had under consideration
the revision of curri culums for some time, but the committee
was not ready to make final recommendations at this time. He
asked that the President, or the Dean in the institutions
offering special curriculums, study the curriculum within his
institution and refer any suggestions with reference to modifications of such curriculums to him for consideration of the
entire committee.
He further stated that he had recently met with a
committee of the American Library Association and it was their
feeling that the eighteen semester hours in Library Science
v,ere entirely too few for a major in this field.
He asked
that the two institutions interested in the Library Science
Curriculum study this curriculum with the thought of increasing the eighteen semester hours to thirty semester hours which is
is the standard set by the American Library Association.
On motion of Doctor Rohrbach, seconded by Doctor
Straughn it was voted that the report of the Curri cular Revision
Committee with reference to Item A be accepted and any suggestions
made by the President be referred to the committee for further
study and report at the next meeting of the Board.
B.
Student t eaching c redit for teachers
with f ive or more years of experience
in the public schools
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Committee, stated that
the Curricular Revision Committee had held a special meeting
Thursday, September 19, 1935, to consider the subject of
student teaching credit for teachers ,7ith experience in the
public schools. The committee submitted the following recommendation:
"Candidates for a degree, who hold certificates
below the level of the Provisional College Certificate and who have had three or more years
teacning experience, may at the discretion of the
President, complete the remaining student teaching
-966-
requirements for the degree in any of the following
ways:(a)
Earn the number of hours required,
in the training school.
(b)
Perform an assignment of work in
connection with regular teaching
in the public school, such as the
pursuit of a project in the
student's major field, under the
direction of the Director of the
In such cases
Training School.
the candidate must be regularly
registered in the college and may
not earn more than a total of six
semester hours credit in a single
semester including all courses
-
carried.
(c)
The substitution of such courses as
may be approved in the individual
case by the President, for not more
than half the student teaching
requirement. The remainder may be
or
earned as in (a) or (b) above,
in a combination of (a) and (b).
Provided, that no credit toward graduation may be
given for tenoning experience and provided further that
the college records and the transcript submitted to the
Teacher Division in support of the application for a
degree or for a college certificate, shall show plainly
the manner in which the remaining student teaching
requirement was discharged."
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Miller and
as amended by motion of Doctor Straughn, seconded by Doctor Haas,
it was voted tnat the report of the committee with reference to
credit for experience in the public schools be received and that
final action on the recommendations be deferred until the November
meeting of the Board.

Doctor Steele stated that the committee was not ready to
make a definite recommendation with reference to this curriculum
at this time,
but that a report would be made at the next meeting
of the Board.

Report of committee re "modification of
the lav/ for permanent certification in
Pennsylvania"
Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the Committee, reported
for the committee.
He felt that the committee could not make a definite
recommendation with respect to this matter until the contemplated
changes in the curriculums had been finally decided. He further
stated that the committee would keep the matter in mind and make
a recommendation just as soon as it was felt advisable.
On motion of Doctor Rowland,
seconded by Doctor Hill
it was voted that the report of the committee be received with
thanks.
3.
Report of committee re "recognition by
Middle States association"
Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the Committee, reported
for the committee.
He stated that the committee had no report to make,
but that they would like to know from time to time what progress
the several institutions are making with their application to
the Association.
Doctor Foster stated that he had received a letter
from the Secretary of the Association to the effect that the
application was received and would be given due consideration.
Doctor Straughn stated that he had written for an application upon which to apply for accreditment within the Association.
He also stated that Doctor McClelland, Secretary of the Association,
was of the opinion tnat consideration of the pending applications
would come up before the association at their October meeting and
probably some of the Presidents, if not all of them, would be
called before the Commission when the applications are reviewed.
Doctor Rohrbach stated that he felt the only question
which might arise and prove difficult, vrauld be the matter of
endowments.
This requirement as now set up in the standards for
-968-
accreditnent, the Colleges could undoubtedly not meet, but it
was likely that some modif ication would be made since the
State Teachers Colleges are State-owned and State-controlled
institutions.
Doctor Rowland stated that he felt this requirement
could be met very comfortably because the State Teachers Colleges
have the credit of the Commonwealth back of them and this surely
should overcor.ie the question of endowment and this also was the
sentiment expressed by Doctor McClelland when the committee met
..ith him some time ago.
Doctor Cameron stated that he had made application
for West Chester and that Doctor McClelland had intimated to
him that the requirements might be changed and that it would
be entirely possible for our Colleges to come in under the
standard requirements.
Doctor Rowland stated that as Chairman of the
Committee he appreciated very much the illuminating discussions
that had taken place. He further stated that it would be very
interesting for the Presidents to review the cause 7/hich brought
up this question of accreditnent and recognition by the Middle
States Association. This had not been a very serious problem
in the past because the number of graduates in the secondary
curriculum was small, but as this group of graduates increases
from time to time, the matter v/ill become more complicated.
Doctor Roaland asked if any additional Teachers
Colleges had applied for membership?
It appeared that the status was the same as at the
last meeting of the Board, Indiana, West Chester and Shipp ensburg were the only institutions which had made formal application.

Doctor Foster, Chairman of the Committee, reported
for the committee.
He stated that the matter had been raised at the last
meeting of the Board and the committee had submitted a very complete report to the Board and to the Superintendent for transmittal to the Attorney General.
Doctor Ade stated that the report of the committee
had been transmitted to the Office of the Attorney General, but
thus far that office had not been able to act on the case.
-969-
Doctor Hill stated that he would like to have the
committee on uniform fees consider the matter of an adjustment

especially concerned with the special fees for the Home
Economics and Industrial Arts Curriculums. He stated that
some of the better students who would make the best prospective
teachers are not able to pay what they think is an excessive
fee in these special curriculums.
Doctor Rowland suggested that it might be appropriate
to consider a special fee for Cheyney in these two special
fields since Cheyney is facing perhaps a unique situation and
should undoubtedly be encouraged to promote these two fields to
the fullest extent.
On motion of Doctor Rov.land, seconded by Doctor Hill
it was voted that the committee on uniform fees, deposits find
repayments review the fees in the special curriculums for all
schools and wit h special reference to Cheyney and report at
the next meeting of the Board.
5.
R epo rt of committee re " pre- summer and
post- summer session for teachers in
service"
Doctor Killer, Chairman of the Committee, reported
for the committee.
He submitted the following report:
"The committee reporting on Pre- Summer and
Post-Summer Sessions for Teachers-in-Service met
Thursday afternoon, September 19, 1935.
Those
present were:
»
'
Doctor Land is Tanger
Doctor Robert ivl. Steele
Doctor Carmon Ross
Doctor C. S. Miller, Chairman
Henry Klonower, Chief, Teacher Division
The committee feels that the ultimate solution
of the problem with reference to the matter of supplying available facilities for teachers-in-service who
desire to complete the requirements of a four-year
teacher preparation program at an earlier date than
that which is nov possible because of the limited six
weeks summer session is the organization of the college
calendar en the quarter basis. The committee recognizes
-970-
the difficulties involved in making such a
change from the present program during this
biennium, but it recommends that a careful
study be made by each President of the
implications of such a program and that the
matter be given further consideration at the
January meeting of the Board of Presidents.
The committee requests permission to
study further the question and also report
on the feasibility of such a plan at the
January meeting. However, it is the committee's recommendation that immediate steps
should be taken to provide additional
instructional opportunities during the coming
summer session and, to carry out its recommendation, it suggests:
1.
That the 1936 summer session be six
weeks in length and that each college
have the option of offering a three
7/eeks pre- session or a three weeks
post-session.
2.
That the summer sessions open in
accordance with the recommendations
of the Calendar Committee.
3.
That the committee desires time for
study before making further recommendations on the larger problems
of professional service for the areas."
On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Cameron
it was voted that the report of the committee re pre- summer and postsummer session be received and that the Presidents study the report
as it affects the individual institutions and let the committee have
their suggestions and recommendations for a further report at the
next meeting of the Board.

bulletin
Mr. Klonower explained that tie General Assembly of 1935
amended Sections 2101 and 2102 of the School Laws with reference to
the meetings of teachers
.
v.as
He further stated that the interpretation of the sections
as follows:
"Such meetings of teaciiers must be called
by the County Superintendent and include the
teachers under his jurisdiction. He nay assemble
the teachers for two days or its equivalent each
year 'at such tine and pla ce as he nay deer.: most
convenient for the purpose of receiving instruction in the science and art of teaching.'
This
is to be interpreted literally.
Each superintendent nay invite nenbers of
the teaching and supervising staffs of other
districts and institutions of learning within
his county to attend such meetings, but it does
not necessarily restrict him from inviting
instructors from other places outside the county."

Membership in the American Council of Education
Doctor Rowland stated that ae had raised the question merely
for information. He stated that he did not want to be the only institution which did not belong to the Association or the only Teachers
College holding membership in the American Council of Education.
Doctor Haas stated that he would like to have some information
as to the advisability and advantages in holding membership in this
association.
Doctor Cameron stated that there are two classes of membership,
the institutional membership and the individual membership.
The various
associations throughout the United States are members. Representatives
are sent to the annual meeting each year.
This meeting is usually held
on Friday and Saturday of May each year.
The fee for membership is
$50 00
.
Doctor Foster stated that he had attended the meeting in May
of this year and that he felt it was ell worth while to belong to the
Association and also to attend their meetings whenever possible.
v.
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Rowland it was
voted that Doctor ^de appoint a small committee of the Board to make
an investigation as to the purpose, procedures and benefits of the
American Council of Education, and also whether the Board as a whole
could become a member or if the individual institutions had to apply
for membership.
Doctor Ahe therefore appointed the following committee to
study this problem and report at the next meeting of the Board: Doctor
Foster, Chairman, and Doctor Cameron.
3.
Student teaching in s chool d is tricts without
properly certificated teacher s
Mr. Klonower stated that the tendeacy was growing to use
students who were attempting to complete the student teaching requirement of an accredited institution in school districts without the
supervision of a properly certificated teacher in the classroom.
In
some districts, this situation had even gone so far that the district
had dismissed experienced certificated teachers and used the studentteachers, thereby saving considerable money.
He pointed out that it
was not legal to have & teacher teach in any public school without
-974-
proper certification and that it also was not permissible to have
student- teacaers in a school without proper supervision.
He further stated that in no case should a studentteacher who is trying to meet the student teaahing requirement of
an accredited institution be allowed to replace an experienced
certificated teacher in any school district. The School Lav;
specifically states that no teacher may teach in the public schools
without proper certification.
4
Restoration of the salary schedule
Mr. Klonower called attention to the fact that in
September the Edmonds *.ct restored the salary cuts to the teachers
in the public schools.
He raised the question whether the State
Teachers Colleges should not restore salary cuts.
Doctor Haas stated that by resolution of the Board, and
in accordance with the set-up of the budgets, this matter was
settled for at least the first semester of the present school year

other State Teachers Colleges would be interested in such programs
and whether or not they could house trainees in the dormitories.
It appeared that all the Presidents were interested in
such programs and would be glad to cooperate in any v.ay possible.

Policy re extension courses for non-public

Doctor Ross explained that the question had been raised
with him because there is a G rou P of Sisters from one of the
institutions in Erie that would like to come to the Teachers
Colleges and take courses in Art Education.
The matter was referred to the Superintendent with a
request for a decision as to v.hether students might be enrolled
if they were willing to pay tuition even though they ere not

Doctor xxde suggested that Mr. Xlonower consult Mr.

General.

Projects for meeting provisions of Fire
and Panic Let
Mr. Crosley appeared before the Board and stated that
certain projects had been approved under the P.W.A. and that
piojects running over the ten thousand dollar mark v.oulu have to
be supervised by the Department of Property and Supplies and
architects employed for the project.
Doctor Rowland stated that at the last meeting of tne
Board it was felt that the amount set aside to take care of tne
recommendations made by the Department of Labor and Industry could
be reduced somewhat and that the original amount of $300,000.00
could be cut down if it were possible to be exempted from certain
recommendations at this time.

Mr. Crosley stated that Doctor .*de had sent a letter
the Secretary of Labor and Industry in which he outlined

Minimum fee for part- tine students (II-B

Doctor Steele stated that this question had come up
in their institution when the Auditors 7/ere making the audit,
but in the meantime, the question had been answered satisfactorily.

Eligibility lists from the various
institutions
Doctor A llen stated that this item would be taken care

12.
Policy re smoking in dormitories
Doctor Ross stated that he had asked for this item to
be placed on the docket simply to ascertain v/hat was a reasonable
and sane regulation Vvith reference to smoking in the dormitories.
Doctor Straughn stated that he thought this tendency
could be curbed somewhat if the fire hazards were pointed out to
the students.
The matter is one of administration.
13.
Development of minors in secondary curriculum
Doctor Ross stated that he had asked for this item to be
placed on the docket for consideration by the Board. He felt that
institutions which do not offer the special curriculums should be
allowed to offer a major of eighteen semester hours in certain of
the special fields such as Health and Physical Education and Commercial Education.
He stated that it is possible for a graduate of the
secondary curriculum to go to another institution and take eighteen
semester hours in a special field such as Art, Music, Health,
Commercial Education, et cetera, and thereby have this subject
placed on the certificate to teach. He explained that if such an
arrangement could be worked out, that is, just for teaching and not
-977-
supervision, he felt it would be a great benefit to the State
Teachers Colleges.
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Straughn
it was voted that the "development of minors in the secondary
curriculum" be referred to the Curricular Revision Committee and
that they be instructed to submit a report at the next meeting of
the Board.
14.
Education Congress
-
October 9-10, 1955
Doctor Ade explained that the preliminary announcement
had gone out and there was no further statement at this time.
The Public Education Bulletin of the Department contained a brief
statement concerning the Congress and a further detailed statement would be included in the October issue of the bulletin
which would be in the mails about October 2, 1935.
He further stated that an effort was made this year to
discuss trends in education throughout the United States and with
special emphasis to the program in Pennsylvania. The Program
Committee believes that it has developed an interesting program
and that the speakers will have worth while messages.
15
Joint meeting of Liberal Arts Colleges and
State Teachers Colleges - October 25, 1935
Doctor Ade briefly reviewed the minutes of the previous
meetings of the "Joint Meeting of the Association of Liberal Arts
Colleges and State Teachers Colleges" and stated that he r.as
anxious to be kept informed concerning this matter because of the
meeting to be held in Harrisburg October 23, 1935.
He further stated that his notion of the whole matter
of teacher preparation in Pennsylvania was that whichever institutions or group of institutions could do the best piece of v.ork for
the public schools, those institutions should be given the job of
preparing teachers for the public schools.
Doctor Rowland stated that he felt there v.as a problem
of constantly lifting the standards and giving some inducement to
those teachers who lack the four years of preparation to return
to the institutions and complete a four- year curriculum.
Doctor ^.de asked what was the honest opinion with
reference to the four-year level for all elementary teachers?
Doctor Cameron stated that we have at the present time
approximately forty thousand teachers who are on less than a fouryear basis and many of these teachers ara now attending the summer
-978-
sessions and Saturday classes to advance themselves professionally.
Doctor Ade stated that he felt this whole matter was
summed up in the question "How can we get the best teachers for
the public schools of this Commonwealth?"
16.
Tentative Enrollments in the State Teachers
Colleges
Mr. Klonower stated that the tentative enrollments were
compiled to meet a need for the fiscal office in connection with
the budget situation.
He asked that not any publicity be given to
the figures and that they be used for administrative purposes only.
H.hen the figures are received as of October 15, 1935, the usual
compilation will be made and the charts distributed.

He stated that he would like to have the reactions of
the members of the Board to the recommendations.
On motion of Doctor Cameron, seconded by Doctor Miller,
was voted that the recommendations with reference to the matter
of accepting equivalent preparation in lieu of student teaching as
recommended by the Curricular Revision Committee under date of
September 20, 1935 be approved.
it
Doctor Hill stated that he did not feel sympathetic
with the suggestion that credit for teaching experience toward
graduation may not be granted. He explained that in some cases
teachers with successful teaching experience desired to return to
the institution and complete the work for the degree. Where
credit is not granted for teaching experience, it ;.orks a hardship
and is somewhat unreasonable. He felt that the evaluation of suca
experience should be left to the President or the Dean of Instruction and that such oases should be decided on individual merits.
-981-
Doctor Ross asked whether replies were received in
response to the letter sent to the Deans of Instruction and
what were the reactions?
Doctor Steele stated that the Deans did not quite agree
as to the method by which this student teaching should be
completed.
The replies received were so diversified, he felt
the matter should be brought up again for discussion.
Doctor Foster explained that he had gone over this
very
matter
thoroughly v>ith Dean Walsh and several suggestions
grew out of the discussion which he would be glad to give to
the Chairman of the Curricular Revision Committee for consideration. He stated that one very important question had come up at
Indiana, namely, whether or not the standards set up by the
American Association of Teachers Colleges for supervised practice
teaching would be met.
Doctor Haas suggested that there be added to the
recommendations the phrase, "provided that in any case the
standards of the American Association of Teachers Colleges
for supervised practice teaching must be met."
Doctor Tanger stated that he felt the group that started
to teach on the State Standard Limited Certificate had begun with
the thought of continuing their preparation until four years will
have been completed. A great many of these teachers are teaching
in districts where the supervision is not so close.
Many such
teachers are in rural sections where it is not possible to give
much supervision. For this reason, perhaps it would be better to
have this particular group complete the student teaching requirements as prescribed.
Doctor Steele stated that the principle involved was
whether each case should be treated as an individual case; the
President and the Dean of Instruction study the case and advise
what is needed in the particular case involved to make a better
prepared teacher for the public schools.
Doctor Haas asked whether the Deans of Instruction
discussed the matter at their recent meeting.
Doctor Steele stated that the matter was discussed, but
the Deans did not come to a common agreement with respect tc the
additional student teaching required for experienced teachers who
return to the institutions to complete the requirements for the
degree.
Doctor Haas stated he felt that the question should be
given more thought and that some of the suggestions made by Doctor
Foster should be studied. He suggested that the matter be referred
to the Curricular Revision Committee for a further report at the
next meeting of the Board.
-982-
.
Doctor Cameron stated that he was willing to withdraw
his motion because it was made with the thought of getting the
matter before the Board for discussion and not with the idea of
closing the subject without further discussion.
Doctor Miller also agreed to withdraw his second to the
motion.
On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Hill, it
was voted that the question of student teaching credit for teachers
with five or more years of experience in the public schools be
referred again to the Curricular Revision Committee for further
study and report at the next meeting of the Board.

Curriculum
-
English Speech
Doctor Steele stated that a committee had been appointed by
the State Council of Education to investigate the general problem
that is involved in the matter of additional curriculums or the
extension of curriculums. The Curricular Revision Committee,
therefore, felt it inadvisable at this time to make any recommendations in light of the work of this special committee and will await
the report of the committee to the State Council of Education.
Doctor Ross asked whether the Board could be advised today
as to the personnel of the Committee?
Mr. Klonower stated that the State Council had appointed
Doctor LeRoy A. King to represent the Council and Doctor Ade had
assigned the Secretary of the Board of Presidents as the other
member.
He explained that the committee expected to make a
preliminary study within tiie next month.

Development of Minors in the
Secondary Curriculum
Doctor Steele stated that the Curricular Revision Committee
would hold in abeyance their report on this item until the special
committee of the State Council of Education had made a report with
reference to the extension of the curriculums.
On motion of Doctor Riemer, seconded by Doctor filler, it
was voted that the report of the Curricular Revision Committee as
submitted by the Chairman, Doctor Steele, be received with thanks.

Re port of committee re "recognition by Middle
States Association
Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the Committee, reported for
the committee.
He stated that ne had received a letter from Doctor V/ilson
Farrand Chairman of the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education, in which he acknowledged receipt of the applications of
those State Teachers Colleges that had made application for admission
to the Middle States Association.
He suggested in his letter to
Doctor Rowland that the Board of Presidents of the State Teachers
Colleges arrange to have representation at a meeting of the Commission
which will be held Tuesday, November 19, 1935 in Philadelphia.
,
Doctor Cameron stated that he had b3en in touch ith Doctor
Farrand and had had a very satisfactory talk with him. He felt that
it would be a good thing for the entire committee to arrange to be
present at the meeting in Philadelphia.
v.
Doctor Rowland was of the opinion that the Teachers Colleges
eventually receive the recognition they deserve in order to be
accredited, but it would undoubtedly take some time. Hov.ever, he
felt this was the best that could be done for the present and he
asked Doctor Cameron to complete arrangements for the appearance of
the entire committee before the commission on Tuesday, November 19,
1935 at 2:30 o'clock, in the Trustees' Room of College Hall,
University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.
v.ould
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Cameron, it
was voted that the matter be referred to Doctor Rowland, Chairman of
the Committee, with the suggestion that he arrange to have representation at the meeting to be held in Philadelphia, Tuesday,
November 19, 1935.

Report of committee ro "u niform fees,

Doctor Foster, Chairman of the Committee, reported for the
committee.
He stated that there as no change in the status of the
situation.
The matter had been referred to the Office of the
Attorney General through the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
No report had been received to clarify the situation.
;.
Doctor Steele stated that this matter -as called to the
attention of the Auditorswhen the regular audit war made at the
State Teacners College, California, and the Auditors agreed to
include a statement relative to the activity fees in the audit.
In
tnis \.ay they might be able to get an opinion from the Attorney
General's Office.

He port of co mm ittee re "pre- summer and post- summer
session for teachers in service "
Doctor Miller, Chairman of the Committee, reported for the
committee.
He stated that the committee had no further report to make
since he had not reaeived many replies to the suggestion made at the
September meeting of the Board, namely, that each President make a
study of the situation in his service area and advise the committee.
If this information is received, the committee will have a detailed
report to present at the January meeting of the Board of Presidents.
Doctor Rowland stated that he had circularized his service
area and those in the area favored a six reeks session plus a three
weeks session.
Doctor Steele stated that the Deans of Instruction had
considered this subject at their meeting and that they favored a
six eeks session plus a three weeks post- session.
They had
discussed this question at some length and ssemed to agree that a
six v,eeks session and a three weeks session as separate units,
rather than a nine weeks session, would be better for administrative
purposes.
v.
Doctor Haas raised a question concerning the salary for the
additional three weeks session; would it be increased for the three
weeks session on a pro rata basis, that is, one-half of the regular
six weeks salary or one- twelfth of the thirty- six "weeks salary. He
felt this should be considered at once because it would have to be
taken care of in some maimer on the Salary Qualification Schedule
v.hich now includes only the regular session of thirty- six veeks and
the summer session of six v.eehs.
Doctor Miller stated that this was a phase of the question
which probably ougnt to be considered by the Committee on Salary.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Miller, it
was vote d to accept the report of the committee and authorize them
to continue the study and make a further report at the January meeting
of the Board as originally planned.

R eport of the committee re '''Membership in
the American Council on Education" -
Doctor
C.
S. Marsh
Doctor Foster, Chairman of the Committee, reported
for the committee.
He indicated that he had written to Doctor Zook,
President of the American Council on Education and invited him
to attend the meeting of the Board of Presidents of the State
Teachers Colleges. Doctor Zook replied that he appreciated the
invitation but it was not possible for him to attend. He would
be glad to send Doctor Marsh to tell the members some of the
things the Council was attempting to do, and the benefits
derived from being a member of the American Council on Education.
Doctor C. S. Marsh, Associate Director of the American
Council on Education, appeared before the Board.
He said in part;
"I appreciate the invitation to come before the members
of the Board of Presidents of your State Teachers Colleges and give
you v.hat information I can concerning the membership, organization
and purpose of the American Council on Education.
I shall center
my remarks around three points, (1) What is the American Council on
Education, (2) What are its objectives, and (3) What the American
Council is doing.
(1) The American Council on Education is an organization
of Institutions and Associations, Colleges and Universities, Teachers
Colleges, Technical Institutions and Accrediting Agencies.
It has
no individual membership by person, but rather by institution,
association or accrediting agency. The total membership now is
around three hundred and fifty institutions or associations. At
the present time, I believe there are but thirteen Teachers Colleges,
However, all the Teachers Colleges are eligible to membership in the
Council.
In the executive meeting of the Council, the Council voted
to put the Association of Teachers Colleges on the same basis as
other accredited associations and then following that action, we sent
out a letter of information to the various Teachers Colleges to join
the Association.
The price of the institutional membership is $50.00
per year.
The general objective of the American Council on
(2)
Education is to advance American education in any and all its
•987-
*.
phases through comprehensive, voluntary action on the part of
institutions and in the fulfillment of that purpose to initiate
research projects, experimental programs and other similar enterprises as may be approved from time to time by the Council.
Doctor Zook brought together about ten days ago a group
consider the general question of the relationship of the school
program to the building construction program. Doctor Zook thought
it might be well to get under way such a study in conformity with
the building code.
It was felt advisable to have a more intelligent
picture of what a school building ought to be with due regard to the
curriculum and the recent changes in public education. There seems
to be very little activity along this line at the present time. The
architects are busy with drawings and plans, but there seems to be a
need for that agency and the educators to get together for a
comprehensive study.
to
Another of the very important projects under way at this
time is the American Youth Commission.
This is a project in which
we expect to spend about one-half million dollars.
It is a five-year
program and we expect great things from this study.
We have a small appropriation so far for a Motion Picture
Institute, but prospects are good for a rather substantial fund for
this project as it affects education in general. There is nowhere
any compilation of materials of educational pictures. Under this
heading will come the subject of Visual Education and the practices
involved in teaching Visual Education.
The American Council on Education publishes a Journal
quarterly and an educational hand-book every four years. We are
working on a revision of that book now and the Teachers Colleges
of Pennsylvania will be in it.
We think it represents one of the
most authoritative documents on education in the world.
We have a group working on a Cooperative Test Service.
The Council has sponsored this to the amount of a half million
dollars and the project will extend over a ten-year period.
It is
now in its sixth year and gives promise of being a great piece of
work when completed.
We have a number of committees operating; one of particular
interest at the present time is the Committee on International Aspects
of Education.
We have just set up a Committee on Academic Freedom and
Social Responsibility. There is much to be done in this field.
There is a proposal to compile a dictionary of educational
terms. This is something the educational field needs desperately. No
publisher will undertake to compile such a volume because it does not
look like a good commission project for the publishers.
-988-
The Council is now attempting a study of Educational
Research covering tiie last twenty years. They want to bring
together, interpret and «orrelate the efforts of educational
research so that in the compass of one or two volumes we will
find all the things written on the curriculum.
A study is under way concerning the place and purpose
of radio in our educational program.
Another project on which we are working, but on which
we have not yet made any public mention is the matter of research
fellowships in the field of education.
A study of the Master's Degree in the United States has
been started.
I, personally, and two assistants have been at work
on this for some time.
It is surprising under what conditions and
pressures the master's degree has been granted. We could go on
and elaborate on this point for some time, but when the volume is
completed, I am sure it will give many of us something v.orth while
to think about."
Doctor Marsh in closing his remarks stated that Doctor
Zook as President of the Council had sent a message for the Presidents
to the effect that he was greatly interested in all their problems of
education and noped that the American Council on Education might be
enriched by such membership as that of the Presidents of the State
Teachers Colleges of Pennsylvania.
If and when the Presidents do take
out membership in the Council, they will be asked to participate in
any studies that are made and of course in turn will receive the
benefit of such studies.
He pointed out that if the Presidents had a problem and
wanted to consult the American Council at any time, they were to
feel free to do so.
Doctor Foster suggested that the Board of Presidents give
Marsh for his interesting presentation.
The Board expressed its gratitude to Doctor Marsh for the helpful
information which he brought to the members.
a vote of thanks to Doctor
On motion of Doctor Foster, seconded by Doctor Steele, it
was voted that the Board of Presidents suggest to the State Superintendent that he approve requisitions for institutional membership
in the American Council on Education.
H.
Report of committee on Athletics re "Transfer
s tudents, Athletic scholarships, Professionalism
and Spring and Pre- summer football training"
,
Doctor Allen, Chairman of the Committee, reported for the
committee,
He explained that the committee had been instructed at the
last meeting of the Board to make a compilation of the present rules
-989-
and regulations governing athletic competition and forward the same
to each President Tor study and suggested revision.
As a result of the suggestions received, the committee
recommended a slight change in Section 8 of the regulations; the
section will therefore read as follows:
"No student transferring from any four-year institution of collegiate rank, except from a regularly
accredited Junior College, to a State Teachers
College shall be eligible for any intercollegiate
competition until after a year of residence. Where
one year intervenes between attendance at an institution of collegiate rank and matriculation in a
State Teachers College, a student so enrolled is
not to be considered as a transfer and shall be
eligible for participation in athletics."
On motion of Doctor Tanger, seconded by Doctor Cameron, it
was voted that final action on this recommendation be postponed until
the next meeting of the Board and that in the meantime the Chairman of
the Committee submit in writing to each President a copy of the
recommendation for study.
Doctor Allen stated that the committee did not have a report
to make on "Athletic Scholarships",
"Professionalism", or "Spring and
Pre- summer football training", but that he had suggested the inclusion
of these items on the docket for purposes of discussion.
He explained that it was the general understanding of the
members of the Board that no athletic scholarships are available in
the Teachers Colleges.
The committee called attention to Section 6 and stated that
while the section did not specifically mention "Professionalism", it
ha_d always been interpreted to include the term "professional".
On motion of Doctor Foster, seconded by Doctor Steele, it
was voted that the Athletic Committee be directed to make further
investigation concerning certain alleged facts with reference to the
management of athletics in the institutions and that a specific report
be made at the next meeting of the Board*
Doctor Allen further stated it was his understanding that the
members of the Board were very definitely instructed by a past Superintendent of Public Instruction that there should be no spring or presummer training. This means that the dormitories are not to be opened
until the dates indicated on the uniform calendar.
-990-
Doctor Cameroon stated that they allowed the boys to
come in a day or two before college opened in order to practice
and it had not caused difficulty so far because the students
who do come in for this purpose, secure their meals in the town.
Dean McClelland indicated that they had done this at
Kutztown and as Doctor Cameron had stated, no difficulty had
arisen from the practice.
I
.
Report of committee re "transportation busses"
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Committee, reported for
the committee.
He stated that they are now working on specifications
and it looks as if six busses will be purchased as the first
assignment and that next year seven additional busses will be
purchased if the plan works out satisfactorily.
Doctor Steele further stated that the committee did not
see how it could allocate six busses to fourteen institutions and
obviously have everyone satisfied so they had recommended that the
allocation be made by the Department of Public Instruction. He
further stated, however, that the type of bus tentatively agreed
upon was a Chevrolet bus, rather sturdily built and one which
would comfortably seat between thirty and thirty-five persons.
Mr. Harlacher of the Bureau of Motor Vehicles stated that he was
well pleased with the type of bus that had been developed for this
purpose and they had about decided upon the general specifications.
Mr. Klonower stated that he and Mr. Crosley had conferred
a number of times with Doctor Ade with reference to the allocation
of the first assignment of busses to the State Teachers Colleges
and they had tried to allot these busses on the basis of the need,
currioilums offered within the college and other transportation
facilities available to and from the college.
J.
Amusement Tax as it affects the State Teachers
Colleges - Mr. Gavi n
Doctor Haas stated that he had raised the question because
it seemed that the regulations were interpreted differently in the
several institutions and he felt that the regulations should be
applied uniformly in all tne Teachers Colleges.
He further stated that he had two questions which he would
like answered; first, what activities are taxable; second, how should
requests for exemptions be made?
Mr. Hill, ^.cting Assistant Director, and Mr. Gavin, Counselor
in the Amusement Tax Division of the Revenue Department appeared before
the Board and explained that there are exemptions available for certain
-991-
kinds of entertainments which are purely educational or religious
in character, but that athletic activities for which an admission
fee is charged are taxable, and may not be exempt.
Mr. Hill asked whether his understanding of the situation is correct; that is, all the activities carried on within
the college are under the general jurisdiction of the college
itself?
Doctor Foster stated that this money is not paid into
the State Treasury but is paid into the Student Cooperative
Association.
Doctor Haas stated that there is a large student
organization and within that organization, smaller groups of
organizations, but each group has as its advisor a faculty member.
Mr. Hill explained that in no case are the student
tickets taxable nor are the faculty tickets taxable, but where
there is a charge for admission fee to outsiders, that fee is
taxable. He further stated that the institutions are required
to take out separate perr.iits for the athletic contests, that is,
one for football, one for basketball, et cetera.
Sach institution must take out an exemption that will cover all the activities
of the school or its subsidiary organizations.
Doctor Foster stated that he felt the misunderstanding
had come about due to the fact that several of the institutions
had exemptions for certain activities and the remaining institutions were not exempt from the taxes on the same activities.
Mr. Hill stated that this situation would be corrected.
Doctor Hill of Cheyney stated that sometimes they ask
for a voluntary contribution from by-standers and wondered whether
or not this amount was taxable.
Mr. Kill of the Revenue Department stated that it could
not be taxed because there was no regular admission fee.
Doctor Haas explained that they wanted to invite the
boys from the C.C.C. camps to attend some of the athletic games
because they felt it was good for them to have this kind of
recreation and at the same time they did not want to charge an
admission to this group.
Mr. Hill replied that if they did not charge an admission
fee, then they could not collect the tax.
-992-
Mr. Gavin indicated that the permits and exemptions were
good for the calendar year and suggested that the institutions
apply for the permits and exemptions in December of this year so
that the papers are in their hands January 1, 1936 for the entire
year 1936.
Mr. Hill stated that a copy of the Amusement Tax Act
Regulations in printed form would be mailed to each State Teachers
These regulations, he felt, would answer all the questions
College.
If such were
and clear up any doubt in the minds of the Presidents.
not the case, he suggested that the Presidents write directly to him
in the Revenue Department and they would be very glad to assist in
any way possible.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Ross, it
was voted that the Board of Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges
extend a vote of thanks and appreciation for the very helpful advice
given by Mr. Hill and Mr. Gavin in this difficult problem.
K*
Policy re extension courses for non-public
school groups
Mr. Klonower stated that this matter had been referred to
the Office of the Attorney General and that a reply had not been
received.
Therefore, the status was the same as at the last Board
meeting.
L.
Resolution of the Associatio n o f Liberal Arts
Colleges and State Teachers Colleges in
Pennsylvania for the Advancement of Teaching
In reporting to the Board on the meeting of the Association
of Liberal Arts Colleges for the Advancement of Teaching and of the
State Teachers Colleges in joint Conference on October £3, 1935 in
the Education Building, Harrisburg, Mr. Klonower briefly sketched the
discussion that took place and then read a resolution which was
presented by a small committee appointed by the conference.
The resolution follows:
"Be it resolved that it is the sentiment of the Association
of Liberal Arts Colleges for the Advancement of Teaching
and of the State Teachers Colleges in joint conference
October 23, 1935 that:
The minimum post-high school education of
teachers for the elementary field be four
years; for the secondary field, five years;
that the State Superintendent of Public
Instruction and the State Council of Education
cooperating with all interested agencies be
urged, at the earliest possible moment, to
take the necessary ways and means to make
these desirable goals possible."
-993-
The Board adjourned for luncheon at 12:20 and reconvened
at 1:30 o'clock.

New Business
A.
Increased requirements for the State Standard
L imited Certificate
Mr. Klonower stated that the suggestion had been made byteachers, administrative officers and representatives of teacher
education institutions that the minimum requirement for the
issuance of the State Standard Limited Certificate be raised from
two years of preparation to three years for the initial issue, but
that all the other requirements for its renewal be maintained as
now pre scribed.
He further stated that it seemed advisable before any
definite action was taken to secure the best judgment of the
college presidents, superintendents and supervising principals
and that, therefore, a letter had been prepared outlining the
resolution which would be sent out for suggestions and criticisms.
Doctor Rowland stated that he did not feel it was necessary
to take this intermediate step, but rather that we could go
immediately to the four year level for all teachers.
Mr. Klonower stated that if and when the Superintendent
of Public Instruction approved, such a letter would be sent out and
the members of the Board would be advised from time to time concerning the situation.
B.
Nursery Schools as a part of the demonstration
and laboratory opportunities in the State
Teachers College s
Mr. Klonower stated that we had hoped to have by this
time a statement as to what constitutes a standard Nursery School.
In two of the institutions a Nursery School had been operated very
successfully for the kindergarten-primary and intermediate groups.
Doctor Ade was interested in this situation and he had discussed
it with Mr. Klonower and the Presidents of the Colleges which had
operated the Nursery Schools.
Doctor Rowland stated that they had operated a Nursery
School as a part of the observation and demonstration school and
had children from the ages of eighteen months to twenty years. He
felt that this activity should be considered very definitely as a
part of the regular program.
Mr. Klonower suggested that the item be placed on the
docket for further discussion at the next meeting of the Board.
-994-
C.
Modification of the enrollment report on page 3
.
Doctor Steele stated that he felt the Board should
authorize a small committee of two to work with the Teacher
Division in the modification of the enrollment report. This
modification and correction was made necessary due to certain
changes in the curriculums since the enrollment report was
originally prepared.
On motion of Doctor Allen,, seconded by Doctor Ross, it
vct ed that the State Superintendent be asked to appoint a
committee" of two to work with the Teacher Division of the Department in bringing the enrollment report blank in line with the
recent cnanges in the curriculums.vvas

Facts and Comments Regarding the State

graphing the report for distribution to the members of
committee who had attended the meeting.

It was pointed out that the report is no\'<- in mimeographed

Doctor Allen stated that he felt all the Presidents were
appreciative of the effort made by Doctor Riemer and his committee
in compiling this report, but he wondered if the group receiving
the report would construe it to mean that each of the presidents of
the State Teachers Colleges had given his approval to the complete
report.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Riemer,
it was voted that the report "Facts and Comments Regarding the State
Teachers Colleges" be given careful consideration by each of the
Presidents and that it be discussed again at the next meeting of the
Board, but that no distribution be made in the meantime.
E.
Service Areas of the State Teachers Colleges
Doctor Rowland stated that they had had some correspondence
with reference to the service areas of the State Teachers Colleges
and especially where the counties were shared by two or more
institutions.
-995-
h
The present service areas have been in effect since
1920 and it seems advisable to have a study made of the service
areas in connection with improved roads, recent railroad, and
bus developments.
A copy of the service areas as developed in 1920
follows page 998 as Exhibit "A".
Doctor Rowland also stated that the population figures
needed revision, because it is very likely that these have changed
considerably in the several counties. He suggested that a small
committee be appointed to review the situation.
Doctor Haas stated that he felt if such a committee
were appointed, they should take into consideration the special
curriculums offered in the several institutions.
On motion of Doctor Rowland,
seconded by Doctor Tanger,
Superintendent be asked to appoint a
small committee to review and bring up to date the service area
allocations and also to study the question of special curricula

the consideration of the Board, but not with the thought of having
it acted upon officially.
The resolution follows:
"WHEREAS, a minimum of four years of post high
school preparation for teaching has been
recommended by the Board of Presidents, the
Association of Liberal Arts Colleges for the
Advancement of Teaching and other professional
bodies, and has been favorably considered by
the State Council of Education, and
WHEREAS, the State Standard Limited Certificate
issued on the basis of two years of post high
school preparation represents less than an
adequate preparation for a teacher, and
-996-
'WHEREAS, there exists no shortage in the supply
of teachers in Pennsylvania to justify the
continued issuance of this certificate, and
many if not most of the young people
now preparing for this certification would, to
their own. substantial profit and the improvement
of the public school service, undertake a four year
preparation if required to do so, be it therefore
VtfHEREAS,
RESOLVED, that it be the sense of this Board that
the further issue of the State Standard Limited
Certificate may with propriety be discontinued,
and be it further
RESOLVED, that this Board respectfully recommend
to the State Council of Education the discontinuance
of the issue of this certificate as of. September 1,
except for such persons as shall have entered
1937
upon a preparation for this certification prior to
that date."
,
Doctor Rowland stated that he felt some definite
action should be taken relative to the discontinuance of the issue
of this certificate.
No action was taken by the board.
H
.
Aids to prospective rural school teachers
Doctor Kiemer stated that he had reference to the
course of study in Social Studies for the preparation of teachers
of Grades 4, 5 and 6.
This course makes no provision for the
teaching of history covering the period before 1500, but when you
come to the course of study prepared by the Department, it does
suggest this preparation.
On motion of Doctor Riemer, seconded by Doctor Armstrong,
it was voted to refer tnis matter to the Curricular Revision Committee
for study and report at the next meeting of the Board.

Committee on Allocations
Doctor Ade suggested the appointment of a sms.ll committee
of the Board to assist him in devising a procedure for the allocation
of the unexpended amounts of money in the appropriation to the State
Teachers Colleges for the fiscal year 1935-36.
Doctor Foster stated that he would like to see this committee
consider the matter of restoring a part or all of the salary reductions
of the instructors in the institutions.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Allen, it was
voted that the State Superintendent be authorized to appoint a committee to assist him in the development of a plan by which the
unexpended money in the budget for the fiscal year 1935-36 might be
allocated to the State Teachers Colleges.
Doctor Straughn,
The following committee was appointed:
Chairman, Doctor Killer, Doctor Cameron, Doctor Ross and Doctor Steele,
The Board adjourned at 4:15 o'clock.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION
Harrisburg
Exhibit "B"
November 15, 1935
To the Presidents of State Teachers Colleges:
All "special bid" State printing requisitions, including those from State Teachers
Colleges, are being handled by the Bureau of Publications in strict observance of
This means that it takes from six to eight weeks following
the letter of the lav/.
receipt of a requisition before the printing can be placed under contract.
Approval of every contract must be obtained from the auditor General, State
Treasurer, Secretary of Property fend Supplies, Attorney General, Budget Secretary,
and the Governor.
It is advisable to write requisitions immediately for 1956 GENERAL and SUMMER
SESSION catalogues and other official State-printed publications, even though
manuscript is not ready. The following steps are suggested:
1.
Determine whether or not there will be more or fewer 6" x 9" pages in 1936
catalogues than in the 1935 editions, and the number of cuts each will
contain, (estimate number of pages in multiples of 4).
2.
Determine the number of copies needed.
3.
Determine whether or not the size of body type will be the same as in the
1935 issues.
4.
Will the binding be the same (side wire stitched or saddle wire stitched)?
5.
If cuts are to be inserted on a different paper, how many inserts will
there be?
6.
Determine if cover paper and inside paper are to be the same as in the 1935
issues, and if not, indicate cnoi ce (cover paper choice is limited to
Eammermill Cover or its equivalent - indicate color).
7.
Provide at least five copies of each of the 1935 catalogues to send with
the requisition.
8.
Write the requisition, giving the necessary information as determined from
the seven preceding steps.
On it give the names of at least three local
or nearby printers whom you desire to have opportunity to bid.
9.
Write an accompanying letter to go with the requisition and five sample
copies, addressed to Mr. I. Paul Linn, Director, Bureau of Publications,
Department of Property and Supplies, giving such specific information as
you desire in the handling of each catalogue, and asking that he start
the requisition through so as to avoid loss of time in printing.
lO.
Send your requisition, your letter to Mir. Linn, and your sample copies to
me for checking, and they will be forwarded promptly to the Bureau of
Publications.
If your proposed publications are to be virtually the same
as for K35, your task is very easy.
Simply write the requisition on the
basis of "same size and format as 1935 catalogue" and send samples.
Later, when manuscript is ready, send it to me for final checking and approval. Copy
must be sent to printers through the Department Editor and the Bureau of Publications,
Sincerely yours
Donald M. Cresswell, Editor
Department of Public Instruction

State Teachers College, West Chester
Department of Public Instruction
Doctor Ade opened the meeting with a short address of welcome.
The items on the docket were then taken up seriatim.
I.
Some suggestive ways to make more effective the service of the office
of a Dean of Instruction.
(This topic was discussed briefly at the close of the conference^.
See Item XI.
-2-
II.
Administrative problems in connection with proposed extension in length
of the
slimmer session.
Dean Walsh suggested that if the summer session is extended,
some of the institutions should offer a three-vreeks pre- session
and a six-weeks summer session, and other institutions a sixweeks summer session followed by a three-weeks post-summer. He
felt that the summer s ession plan should be arranged in such a
way that a student would be able to earn twelve semester hours
during the summer at the State Teachers Colleges.
Dean Sutliff favored the nine-weeks single summer session
since it involves fewer difficulties in administration,
although this arrangement would not take care of the students
who desire to complete only three semester hours to make up
some deficiency for graduation.
Mr. Wagner mentioned the fact that the number of teachers
returning to the summer sessions would be increased by the
holders of State standard limited certificates v*ho would
need additional preparation for the renewal of their
certificates.
/
Mr, Raker stated that the State Teachers Colleges would
have to do something toward increased preparation facilities if they are to play an important part in the increased
preparation requirements.
Dean Menhennett pointed out that West Chester could net
open a summer session earlier than June 20 or June 24 due
to the late closing of the schools in the service area.
Dean Dilworth raised the question as to whether there is
a real demand for a lengthened summer session.
He stated
that this had not been felt in Millersville. However, if
the plan were to go into effect, he preferred a continuous
nine-weeks summer session.
Dean Kaegle suggested the possibility of having an eightweeks summer session. However, the group felt that this
arrangement would be awkward because most of the courses
offered by the State Teachers Colleges were three semester
hour courses.
Dean Belknap spoke in favor of the continuous summer session
and stated that the 6-3 plan did not appeal to him.
Doctor iucClelland asked whether it would not be possible to
get a reaction from the students in Saturday classes and the
like, as to the type of summer session they would prefer.
_ 2_
r
The group seemed to be of the opinion that a summer
session of nine weeks should be recommended, the
distribution of the nine weeks to be determined by
the institution, depending on local conditions.
III.
Present procedures and improvements in scheduling the time allotment
for student teaching.
Mr, Klonower stated that this matter refers to cases
where teachers have from seven to nine years of
experience plus from eight to ten semester hours of
student teaching completed in the old normal school
curriculum. He asked the group what arrangements were
made for student teaching in such cases.
.
Dean Menhennett stated that, at his institution, a
special four- semester hour course in practice teaching
had been arranged for teachers who had already completed
student teaching in the old curriculums."
Dr. Wagenhorst discussed the plan used at Slippery Rock.
This allows a teacher to earn practice teaching credit
while in service. The teacher is visited several times
a year in her classroom and is given certain assignments
which will improve her classroom teaching.
Dean Naegle expressed the opinion that credit for teaching experience should be given rather than have capable
and experienced teachers complete additional student
teaching or additional courses in lieu of the student
teaching.
Dean High suggested a plan whereby teachers holding normal
certificates, including six semester hours of practice
teaching and a total of three years teaching experience,
would be excused from the rest of the student teaching
if the superintendent gave a rating of "middle" or better.
He suggested that the difference in the number of semester
hours could be made up by the completion of cultural
courses.
The group seemed to feel that experienced teachers profited
by additional student teaching.
Dean Walsh asked whether it would not be wise to leave the
matter entirely up to the institution with the regulation
that the State Department should be informed previous to
the adjustment what is being done in each individual case.
-4-
Mimeo graphed copies of the Report of the Curricular Revision
Committee concerning this whole matter ere passed to the
members of the group. Dean Stillings stated tiiat he felt that
the Committee had made a move in the right direction since the
plan gave the institution a choice in the manner of discharging
the practice teaching requirement in each case.
v.
Doctor Steele stated that the recommendation has been referred
by the Presidents to the Deans for their reaction and, for the
most part, the schools have replied, raising questions, making
suggestions, et cetera. The idea is to leave much discretion
to the institution as to what will make the experienced
teacher more competent.
Dean Y.alsli raised a question concerning the prerequisites for
student teaching. He felt that no student should be allowed to
complete student teaching until he has spent a semester in the
institution.
Deans Kaegle McClelland, and Menhennett all stated that their
institutions had been accepting these students and some of
them proved to be outstanding teachers. Dean Naegle stated
that to do otherwise would be to refuse to recognize the
caliber of work done at other institutions.
,
IV.
Standards and scope of statistical information furnished to the Department
of Public Instruction.
Mr. wagner spoke concerning the number of requests made by the
Department for statistical information and emphasized the need
for having all types of statistics on hand.
Dean Kaegle expressed the sentiment of the group that these
requests were most reasonable and entirely satisfactory.
V.
Transfer of credit for stuaent teaching completed in other schools:
a.
In cases of students who continue in the
same curriculum.
b.
In cases wnere students change curriculums.
Dean Dilworth raised a question concerning the difficulties
involved in the acceptance of two-hour courses to be credited
to three-hour courses in the curriculums of the State
Teachers Colleges and the acceptance of courses which have no
equivalents in the curriculums..
Dean kriner asked how many institutions accepted credit for
student teaching from anotner institution in the same curriculum.
Dean Vvalsh replied that they accepted student teaching from
another institution only when the student is a graduate of a
two-year curriculum. Discussion then centered around the matter
-5-
of the transfer of student teaching from one field to
another.
Dean Hennennett stated that his institution
has been nolding to the policy of requiring six semester
Dean Kriner stated that the
hours in tne nev. field.
policy at California was to require approximately eight
semester hours of student teaching in tne nev. field;
Dean Walsh stated that his institution requires half
credit or seven semester hours.
VI.
The degree to which supervision of instruction is possible.
Dean Kriner took the position that observation of
classes is only a small part of tne supervision of
instruction. He stated that in higher education we
have to trust the wisdom and experience of instructors.
He asked whether it would not be a good idea to develop
uniform personnel records for all faculty members.
Dean Sutliff mentioned the advisability of visiting
the classroom of new teachers, but maintained that,
in the main, the older and experienced teachers
needed no supervision. The important problem was that
of securing coordination of effort.
VII.
Certification adjustments:
a.
b.
c.
Extension of four-year elementary
certificates to include high school
subjects.
The secondary field to qualify for
the elementary grades.
In special fields with a degree in the
secondary curriculum as a basis.
Mr. Bowman explained the procedure now used in tne
extension of elementary certificates to include high
school subjects. This is done on the basis of six
semester hours in secondary education, six semester
hours in student teaching in grades above the sixth,
and eighteen se:..ester hours in the subject field desired.
Special elementary courses are not accepted as a part
of the eighteen semester hours in a field.
In the case
of graduates of the old normal school curriculum, the
student teaching requirement for secondary certification
is cancelled if the college can certify that at least
six semester nours of the practice teaching was completed
in grades above the sixth.
Dean Walsh suggested the advisability of raising the
requirements for the extension of elementary certificates
to include secondary subjects to agree with those of
adding elementary certification to secondary certificates,
The group seemed to agree that this should be done.
-6-
The group discussed at some length the matter of the eighteen
semester hours in English contained within the secondary
curriculum, which gives certification to teach English without
the completion of electives in this field.
With reference to the extension of secondary certificates to
the elementary field, Dean Sutliff raised a question concerning
the courses in Art and Music vfaich are indicated on the mimeographed sheet of requirements as being lj semester hour courses,
whereas these courses in the State Teachers Colleges are two
semester hour courses.
It was explained that this list of
courses is merely suggestive and full credit is given for two
semester hour courses in Art and Music.
Mr. Wagner stated that the extensions to tile elementary field
made during the year when the requirement was twelve semester
hours numbered 970 to October 1 and that, contrary to expectations, this number increased to 1015 after the requirement was
raised to eighteen semester hours. However, it was felt that
the number would decrease since the requirement has been
raised to twenty-four semester hours.
Dean Naegle spoke of the injustice being done graduates of
the special curricula by graduates of the secondary curriculum
who complete only the minimum requirement of eighteen semester
hours for the addition of a special subject. The requirement
should be increased.
Mr, Bowman explained at some length that there are more teachers
teaching physical education on a part-time emergency certificate
than any other field, but these teachers do not keep graduates
of the four-year special curricula from positions because their
classes are only a small part of their teaching load. Graduates
of the secondary curriculum with only a minimum of eighteen
semester hours are not, as a rule, given full-time positions in
this field. He stated that teachers now teaching physical
education on emergency certificates are making an effort to meet
the eighteen semester hour requirement but, if this requirement
is raised, it will put certification in this field out of their
reach and no attempt will be made to meet the requirements.

-7-
After some discussion, it was the opinion of the group that
students holding State standard limited certificates in the
elementary field could complete courses for the renewal of
this certificate which v.ould also be accepted in the
secondary curriculum. This practice should be stopped
since the applicants ere preparing specifically for the
elementary field.
v.
IX.
Coordination of research efforts of the Deans of Instruction.
In this connection, Dean Kriner raised the question as to
whether it would not be a good idea to have all freshmen
take the entrance test, making a study of tests from all
institutions to see hov, Pennsylvania stands as a state.
X.
The question of the certification of students enrolled previous
to June, 1932.
Dean Walsh spoke of the difficulties connected with
determining wnen a student was n enrolled previous to
June, 1932" or "continuing his work" for the normal
certificate.
Dean Kriner moved that the following recommendation be
made to the Board of Presidents of the State Teachers
Colleges:
That, after September 1, 1937, no normal
certificate shall be issued, and no
certificates representing less than four
years of preparation shall be issued.
The motion was seconded by Dean YJalsh and unanimously
carried.
XI.
Some suggestive ways to make more effective the service of the
office of a Dean of Instruction.
Mr. Klonower suggested that one way to make more effective
the services of the Deans would be to have an exchange of
ideas between the various deans.
He felt that the
exchange of programs, ideas for service area meetings, et
cetera, would be very helpful.
He also suggested that,
when an interpretation is given to one dean, it might be
advisable for the Department to forward copies of the
interpretation to all the other deans so that there may be
uniformity in policy.
The dieans felt unanimously that the
Dean Belknap voiced the hope that a

the Board of Presidents at its next
meeting just hold was very helpful.

2.
Student teaching credit for teachers
with five or more years of experience
in the public schools
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision Committee,
reported for the committee.
The following report of the committee
Tsas
submitted to the
Board:
"There is an increasing demand for more extended preparation of
teachers. To recognize existing competence of teachers in service and to
provide further opportunities for increasing that competence, the Curricular
Revision Committee makes these recommendations:
-1001-
"Experienced teachers with three or more years experience in
teaching who become candidates for a degree and who hold certificates
belov, the level of the Provisional College Certificate may, at the
discretion of an approved institution, complete the unfulfilled
student teaching requirements for the degree in any of the following
v.ays:(a)
Earn the number of hours required in actual student
teaching, or
(b)
Perform an assignment of work germane to teaching
technique in connection with regular teaching in a
public school, carrying not less than one semester
hour credit nor more than six semester hours credit
in a single semester, under the direction of an
approved institution. The semester hour credit will
be determined by the quality and amount of work done
in the special assignment.
In such cases the candidate must be regularly registered in the institution
and may not earn more than a total of six semester
hours credit in a single semester for all courses
pursued, or
(c)
Courses may be pursued in individual cases which are
approved by the proper authority of an approved
institution for not more than three semester hours.
The remainder of the unfulfilled student teaching
requirement shall be earned as in (a) or (b) or in
a combination of (a) and (b).
,
"Provided, that no credit toward graduation may be given for
teaching experience and provided further, that the college records
and the transcript submitted to the Teacher Division in support of
the application for a degree or for a college certificate, shall
show plainly the manner in which the unfulfilled student teaching
requirement was discharged.
Respectfully submitted,
Allen

Doctor Ade stated that paragraph

(c)
of this recommendation
Mr. Klonower suggested that the phrase, "germane to teaching
technique" be inserted in paragraph (c) to read as follov. s:
"(c) Courses germane to teaching technique may be
pursued in individual cases which are approved
by the proper authority of an approved institution
for not more than three semester hours.
The
-1002-
remainder of the unfulfilled student teaching
requirement shall be earned as in (a) or (b) above,
or in a combination of (a) and (b)."
Doctor Ade commended the plan and suggested that it lad
great possibilities.
Doctor Steele explained that the plan would not be contrary
to the standards of the .american Association of Teachers Colleges
because each student will have had at least 90 hours of student
teaching before graduation.
He stated that the last paragraph of the recommendation
safeguarded the whole plan by requiring that the transcripts submitted to the Teacher Division of the Department of Public Instruction
shall show the manner in which the unfulfilled student teaching
requirement was discharged.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Riemer, it
vot ed that the recommendation of the committee be adopted as

It 'was explained that this curriculum would not be assigned
to specific institutions but might be offered by any institution along
\ith the elementary and secondary curriculums.
Doctor ^de asked if it Y.ould be possible to administer the
curriculum without additional staff or additional expenditure. The
general reply was "Yes."
Doctor Steele suggested that the committee would like to have
the reaction of each President after he has studied the curriculum.
It was decided that the Presidents would give reactions to
the curriculum and that the matter should be referred again to the
Curricular Revision Committee for further study and report at the next
meeting of the Board.
4.
Development of Minors in the
Secondary Curriculum
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision Committee
presented the following report of the committee:.
"In view of the recent development of four year
curriculums for the preparation of teachers and
supervisors in the so-called special fields of
art, music, health, et cetera, and because of the
general acceptance of this standard of preparation
by supervisory and administrative school officials
together with the lack of available financial aid
to develop additional centers for the preparation
of teachers in these special fields and the lack
of demand for teachers with less preparation than
four years in these fields, the Curricular Revision
Committee recommends that minors in the so-called
special fields be not established as a part of the
curricula offerings in the State Teachers Colleges.
"In addition to the available evidence the decision
of the Committee was reached in part by replies
received in answer to an inquiry sent by the Chairman
of the Committee from the majority of the Presidents
indicating their disapproval of this proposal and
their expressed belief that such a step would reduce
the standard of competence of teachers in the special
fields, that it would entail added expense and
definitely subvert funds now needed for other purposes
by the duplication of facilities now adequate to supply
the demand.
"We are further advised that the present preparation
program adequately provides sufficient teachers to meet
the demand.
"The Curricular Revision Committee desires to comment
on the present practice of the Department of Public
-1005-
Instruction by which a teacher's certificate at tlie
present time may be extended to cover one of these
special fields un tne completion of eighteen semester
hours of approved preparation. We believe that this
is entirely inadequate preparation and recommend that
the Department take immediate steps to increase this
requirement

On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Fester, it

Doctor Ross voted "no" on this motion.

Aids to prospective rural school
teachers
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision Committee,
stated that the committee had no comprehensive report to make at this
time.
He called the attention of the Board to tne four-year curriculum
for teachers in rural schools in the syllabi of the State Teachers
Colleges and to the possibility of utilizing courses from this curriculum
under free elect ives. He suggested that the members of the Board make
suggestions as to the desire for the revision of the curriculum or the
adoption of other curriculums. He stated that the committee would like
to have specific suggestions along this line.
It was pointed out that some of the institutions make an
effort to give students in the elementary curriculum some specific training to teach in the rural schools since so few students will elect the
rural curriculum.
Doctor Rohrbach stated that the operation of the training
school for the rural school students costs his institution $3,000 a year.
Mr. Klonov.er stated that the differential between the elementary
curriculum and the rural curriculum is very slight. The rural curriculum
was adopted to make sure that, in the syllabi, there would appear a
curriculum that would satisfy a large group that believe that teaching in
a rural school required specific training for this work.
Doctor Foster stated that at Indiana the students of the
elementary curriculum complete a number of courses in rural education
because very many of tnem secure their first position in one-room rural
schools.
It v;as agreed to give the matter of preparing teachers for the
rural schools more empnasis.
Doctor Steele distributed copies of "Summary-Music Background

Mr. Klonower asked if a vigorous program for the preparation of
teachers of one-room rural schools would not run contrary to the general
philosophy of consolidation of schools.
Doctor Fausold suggested that each member of the Board secure data
indicating the number of people who will be needed in the service areas for
one-room rural schools. This will give some idea of the problem on a State-wide
basis.
Doctor Steele stated that during the past four or five years the
number of specifically trained music superyi-aers has been greatly reduced which
means that the load must be assumed by the classroom teacher. T*»fi record
indicates a great many students without any music preparation.
Doctor Allen asked if it would not be a good idea to go back to the
school districts and find from where these students without music instruction
are coming.
Mr, Klonower stated that the Chairman of the Curricular Revision
Committee requests that each institution make some inquiry concerning the art
background and health and physical education background of freshmen in the
State Teachers Colleges, similar to the study that was presented concerning the

Doctor Carmon Ross
Doctor C. S. Miller, Chairman
Henry Klonower, Chief, Teacher Division
"The committee feels that the ultimate solution of the problem with
reference to the matter of supplying available facilities for teachers-inservice v,ho desire to complete the requirements of a four-year teacher preparation program at an earlier date than that which is now possible because of
the limited six weeks summer session is the organization of the college
calendar on the quarter basis. The committee recognizes the difficulties
involved in making such a change from the present program during this biennium,
but it recommends that a careful study be made by each President of the
implications of such a program and that the matter be given further consideration at a later meeting of the Board of Presidents.
"The committee requests permission to study further the question
and also report on the feasibility of such a plan at a later meeting. However,
it is the committee's recommendation that immediate steps should be taken to
provide additional instructional opportunities during the coming summer session
and, to carry out its recommendation, it recommends:
1.
That the 1956 summer session be six weeks in length
and that each college have the option of offering a
three weeks pre-session or post-session.
2.
That the summer session open in accordance with the
recommendations of the Calendar Committee.
3.
The committee recommends that teachers employed
during the post or pre-summer session be compensated
on a basis proportionate to the summer session salary
schedule.

Report of Committee on Athletics re
"Transfer students, Athletic Scholarships, Professionalism, and Soring an d
Pre-season football training"
Doctor Allen, Chairman of the Committee, reported for the
Committee.
Doctor Allen referred to the regulation presented at the
November 15, 1935 meeting of the Board which had been held over for
further study. The regulation referred to reads as follows:
"No student transferring from any four- year
institution of collegiate rank, except from a
regularly accredited Junior College, to a State
Teachers College shall be eligible for any
intercollegiate competition until after a year
of residence, \vhere one year intervenes between
attendance at an institution of collegiate rank
and matriculation in a State Teachers College, a
student so enrolled is not to be considered as a
transfer and shall be eligible for participation
in athletics."
On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Miller, it was
voted that the recommendation of the committee be approved.
Doctor Allen stated that there is an understanding that there
are no athletic scholarships. There are opportunities to earn money with
which to defray expenses but an athletic scholarship is a procedure by
which a student receives money for services rendered in athletics.
On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Tanger, it was
voted that the restriction prohibiting employment of students for more
than twenty hours a week be modified to include a statement that shall
include all types of payrolls under the direction of the college.
-1010-
Doctor Allen stated that, at the last meeting of the Board, the
committee reported that there v/as an understanding that members of the
Board were very definitely instructed by a past Superintendent of Public
Instruction that there should be no spring or pre- season football training.
This means that the dormitories will not be opened until the dates indicated
on the uniform calendar.
On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Riemer, it was voted
that there be no pre- session football training in any of the State Teachers
Colleges prior to the opening date of the college.
Mr. Swope, Doctor Hill, and Doctor Sutliff preferred not to vote
Doctor Ross and Djctor Armstrong voted "no" on the motion.

this motion.
On motion of Doctor Ross, seconded by Mr. Swope, it was voted that

The report reads as follows:
the Committee sent to him by Doctor Straughn,

"The committee was informed by Mr. Crosley that approximately ^93,500 are
available for distribution. The committee considered all available information and unanimously recommends the following:
1.
That the sum of v 18,500 be held in reserve by
the Superintendent of Public Instruction for
any emergencies that might arise during the
first year of the biennium.
2.
That a sum not exceeding ^35,000 be allocated
for meeting emergency repairs to buildings and
equipment in the various institutions as
recommended by the Building Construction Engineer
of the Department of Public Instruction.
3.
That the balance of ,/±0,000 be set aside for the
improvement of instructional equipment and materials,
such as laboratory equipment, visual aids, special
departmental equipment, libraries, et cetera, r.ith
the recommendation that each institution be allocated
at least £2,500 except where present equipment does
not warrant such allocation.
-1012-
"The committee felt that the allocation of these unexpended amounts should be
used largely to further the professional needs of the institutions.
Respectfully submitted,
William R. Straughn, Chairman
Carmon Ross
Charles £. Miller
Robert M. Steele"
Mr. Crosley then read his memorandum of December 12, 1935 to Doctor
Ade as follows:
"The Committee appointed to make recommendations for the allocation of
unobligated balances in the State appropriation for Teachers Colleges for the
first year of the present biennium has made the following recommendation;
'That the balance of ;40,000 be set aside for the improvement of instructional
equipment and materials, such as laboratory equipment, visual aids, special
departmental equipment, libraries, et cetera, with the recommendation that each
institution be allocated at least ^2,500 except where present equipment does
not warrant such allocation.
?
"We do not have authentic information relative to present equipment at the
Colleges but in the budgets submitted for the present fiscal year we find that
the following institutions have included what we consider to be reasonable
expenditures for these items:
Cheyney
East Stroudsburg
Edinboro
Indiana
Kutztown
Shippensburg
Slippery Rock
"The budgets submitted, however, for East Stroudsburg, Edinboro and Shippensburg
do not include the necessary amounts to take care of other expenditures that
will be incurred. The increase in local receipts over and above the amounts
anticipated when the budgets were submitted for some of the Colleges does not
justify a re-allocation of funds to such Colleges if the fourteen institutions
must be operated during the present fiscal year.
"In analyzing the data appearing on Change Sheets for the month of September,
1935 and the enrollment data submitted October 15, 1935, we find that the
number of Class I students per equated full time faculty member is relatively
low for Mansfield, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Lock Haven and Shippensburg.
This analysis would indicate that careful consideration should be given to the
advisability of a reduction in the number of faculty members before any
definite re-allocation of funds is made to such Colleges."
He then presented his memorandum of December 12, 1635 to Doctor Ade
as follows:
"The Committee appointed to make recommendations for the allocation of
unobligated balances in the State appro pri at ion for Teachers Colleges for the
first year of the present biennium made the following recommendation:
-1013-
That a sum not exceeding ^33,000

Mr. Crosley stated that, since the budget of each institution
seemed to be a workable one, he had suggested to Doctor Ade that he wait
until after the enrollments come in for the second semester before allocation
is made.
Report of committee re "service areas of
the State Teachers Colleges"
K.
Doctor Straughn, Chairman of the Committee, was not present at
the meeting.
Mr. Klonower stated that, at the last meeting of the Board,' a
request was made that suggestions concerning this matter be sent directly
to Doctor Straughn.
Mr. Klonower distributed the professional service area charts
together with a map showing the location of each service area.
He requested
that the population areas be checked in the office of each President since
these population areas are probably no longer in accordance with the facts.
Suggestions on this matter should also be sent to Doctor Straughn so that the
Committee may have the basis for further study.

and discuss it at the next meeting of the Board.
C.

certificates to the elementary field
D
Mr. Klonower stated that a careful study of the transfer of

to some interesting contribution made by the institution.
G.
Solicitation of Students

II.
Unfinished Business
A.
Report of the Curricular Revision
Committee
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision
Committee, reported progress and suggested that no revisions
of the present curricula be made until the State Council of
Education has acted on the resolution advancing the preparation
level for the State Standard Limited Certificate.
B.
Report of committee re "modification
of the law for permanent certification
in Pennsylvania "
Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the Committee, reported
for the committee and suggested that the problem be studied
before the beginning of the next biennium.
Mr. Klonower mentioned the committee of the Pennsylvania State Education Association headed by Superintendent
Lillibridge. He suggested cooperation with this committee.
It was agreed that the committee of the Board should
work with the committee of the Pennsylvania State Education
Association.
C.
Report of committee re "recognition by
the Middle States Association"
Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the Committee, stated that
The
the committee had no report to offer at the present time.
situation stands as it did at the last meeting of the Board. He
further stated that he had received no further communications
from the Middle States Association and that he had made no attempt
to communicate with the Association.
Mr. Klonower emphasized the fact that the important
problem is the recognition by the Middle States Association of
the high schools in which State Teachers College graduates are
teaching rather than the recognition of the colleges themselves.
Doctor Rowland suggested that there are two ways to
approach the problem; first, through the Secondary Commission of
the Middle States Association either by a change in its rules or
by the acceptance of the standards of the American Association
of Teachers Colleges as equivalent standards thereby permitting
State Teachers College graduates to teach in the secondary schools;
-101O
or, second, through the Commission on Higher Education of the
Middle States Association which could automatically include
the State Teachers Colleges in the approved list either by
reciprocity or by definite inclusion, in which case the
Secondary Commission would have to accept State Teachers
College graduates because the State Teachers Colleges would be
members of the Association.
Doctor Bohrbach then read the following letter as an
example of the problem:
"BLYTHE TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT
Supervising Principal
CUMBOLA, PA.

Keystone State Teachers College

Attention;
0. A. W.
Rohrbach
Dear Dr. Rohrbach:
Our school is a member of the Middle States
Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
In a report of a recent survey, the Association
lists three of our State Teachers College graduates with
a minus term. May I inquire if Keystone State Teachers
College or any of the other State Teachers Colleges are
credited by this Association?
We are anxious to be among the accredited schools
in this Association, therefore we must conform to Standard
Four (4) Preparation of Teachers,
—
Awaiting a reply,
I
am
Respectfully yours
(Signed)
-1020-
Spelyng
Supervising Principal"

*»
Doctor Rohrbach added that superintendents and
principals are careful that not more than twenty-five per cent
of their teaching staff in the high schools are State Teachers
College graduates.
Doctor Rowland, Doctor Foster, and Mr. Swope stated
that they had filed applications for accreditment by the
Middle States Association, but as yet had heard nothing from
the Association.
Doctor Rohrbach asked whether it would not be helpful
for a committee from the Department to meet with the committee
of the Board of Presidents and meet with Doctor Grizzell in an
attempt to straighten out the whole matter.
On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Ross it
was voted that the committee be requested to continue its
study.
Doctor Rohrbach requested that each president send to
the committee a list of the high schools in his service area,
indicate the number of teachers in the high scnools, and the
number of the high schools that are accredited by the Middle
States Association. It was suggested that this information be
obtained directly from Doctor Grizzell rather than from the
high school principals.
On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Rowland
it was voted that the report of the committee be accepted with
thanks, that the committee continue its study, and that the
Superintendent of Public Instruction be requested to enlarge the
committee to include such persons in the Department of Public
Instruction as may be responsible for the accreditment of
secondary schools to meet jointly with the committee of the
Board for consideration of the problem.
D.
Report of Committee on Athletics
re "Transfer students, and Spring
and Pre-Season football training"
On motion of Doctor Foster, seconded by Mr. Swope it
was voted that the recommendation before the Board to the
effect that there should be no pre- season football training
prior to the opening date of the college be tabled.
Doctor Miller, Doctor Steele, Doctor Allen, and Doctor
Ross voted "no" on this motion.
-1081-
E.
Report of committee re "nodifi cation
of the enrollment report on page 3"
Doctor Haas, Chairman of the Committee, submitted the
following report:
"As authorized by the resolution of November 15, 1935,
Doctor Ade appointed the following committee: Henry
Klonower, Robert Steele, and Francis B. Haas, Chairman.
Under date of January 8, 1936, the chairman sent the
following letter to the members of the Board:
the meeting of the Board of Presidents
held Friday, November 15, 1935, provision
was made for a Committee to revise the
enrollment report. Doctor Ade has appointed
the following Committee: Doctor Steele,
Mr. Klonower, and myself as Chairman.
•'At
'The Committee plans to meet preceding the
next meeting of the Board, which is scheduled
for Friday, January 17, 1936.
I will be glad
to have any comments that you care to have
considered in preparation of a report. As
Chairman of the Committee, may I call your
attention to the fact that since these reports
have now been carried on for a considerable
number of years, it is highly desirable that
any suggestions made should not vitally change
the form of the present report so as to
interfere with ease in securing comparative
data.
Nine institutions replied. Following is a digest of
these replies: - (a) Insert cooperative curriculum along
with other special curricula, (b) Attention called to
the fact that some institutions in publicizing enrollment include special and extension classes.
(c) Consider
advisability of distribution of elective fields, (d)
Arrange a report to distinguish between applicants for
limited license and four- year course.
(e) Consider
advisability of additional report for students holding
baccalaureate degrees.
(f) Insert special class teachers
along with other curricula.
(g) Advisability of combining first semester and second semester of elementary
education, (h) Advisability of eliminating four-year
-1022-
elementary in case of primary, intermediate, and
rural, (i) Advisability that notation for kindergarten be eliminated, (j) That length of lessons
in Minutes under class two be eliminated, (k) That
notation for class four students be Eliminated.
Four of the nine institutions of those reporting
indicated that no changes are needed.
The Committee recommends that each President secure
from Mr. Klonower a copy of the blank report; that
the suggestions for revision be made in the form of
an actual editing of the report; and that this
report be sent to the Chairman of the Committee,
following which an actual proposed revision will
be made.
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Steele,
it was voted to accept the report of the committee.
F.
Report of committee re "service
areas of the State Teachers
Colleges"
Doctor Belknap, representing Doctor Straughn, Chairman
of the Committee, asked that the report of the committee be held
in abeyance until the next meeting of the Board.
G.
Resolution to the State Council of
Education re "advanced requirements
for the State Standard Limited
Certificate"
Mr. Klonower stated that this matter had come before
the State Council of Education at its last meeting and that
definite action had been postponed until the May meeting of the
Council.
Doctor Ade stated that there had been some question
about going ahead until all groups interested in the matter
had an opportunity to study the resolution, particularly the
Joint Educational Costs Survey Commission. He further stated
that Mr. Andrews and his sub-committee appointed to study this
matter had indicated approval of the resolution but that no
formal word had been given to the State Council of Education.
Mr. Klonower stated that a study had just been made
the
elementary teachers in Pennsylvania arranged by
of all
-1023-
counties in order of rank in the percentage of college preparation.
This study shows an increase in the number of elementary teachers
having four years of preparation. The resolution now before the
State Council of Education would require only three years of
preparation for the issue of the State Standard Limited Certificate,
Doctor Haas raised a question concerning the effective
date of the resolution, since the catalogues of the institutions
announcing a two-year curricula preparing students for the State
Standard Limited Certificate had already been prepared.
It was suggested that the effective date of the resolution might be set as January 1, 1937 rather than September 1, 1936
in order to keep faith with prospective teachers who might desire
to qualify for teaching in the elementary schools in two years as
announced in the catalogues.
Doctor Ade appointed Mr. Klonower as Chairman of a
committee consisting of Doctor Rohrbach and Doctor Steele to
formulate a statement that would be acceptable to the Presidents
in the event that favorable action on the resolution is taken by
the State Council of Education.
H.
Service area professional meetings
Mr. Klonower stated that there are many interesting and
stimulating professional meetings being held within the service
areas of the State Teachers Colleges. He suggested that copies
of the programs of these meetings be sent to the Teacher Division
so that a library of such programs might be built up and used for
reference purposes by the Presidents.
Doctor Ade raised a question at this point concerning
the use of buildings of the State Teachers Colleges for meetings.
It was decided that the problem was largely one for the Boards of
Trustees of the institutions.
It was the consensus of opinion that the State Teachers
Colleges should refuse the requests of outside agencies for use
of State buildings for meetings where such meetings involved the
housing problem and were not directly related to teacher education.
-1024-
I.
Solicitation of Students
On motion of Doctor Haas,
seconded by Doctor Miller
it was voted that *his item be tabled.
The Board adjourned at 12:50 for luncheon and agreed
to reconvene at 2;00.
J.
Nursery Schools as a part of
the demonstration and laboratory
opportunities in the State
Teachers Colleges
Mr. Klonower stated that he had had a conference with
the Emergency Education Group concerning this matter.
He said
that such schools might be established in the State Teachers
Colleges if a need could be demonstrated.
Doctor Steele stated that it is difficult to get
proper personnel for the nursery schools.
Mr. Klonower thought that it would be better to have
nursery schools set up as a part of the regular curriculum,
meeting all the standards of the college, rather than establish
them as emergency education projects.
Doctor Hill raised a question concerning the transportation of these students.
Doctor Rowland stated that the parents of the children
now enrolled in the nursery school at his institution arrange
for the transportation.
Mr. Klonower stated that a mimeographed statement
setting up the standards for an ideal nursery school had been
prepared and sent to Washington for the budgeting of the various
items. As soon as this statement is returned, copies will be
sent to each President.
He further added that if nursery schools
become a part of the progressive school district, we will have to
develop a program for the preparation of teachers in this field.
K.
Budgets
Doctor Ade stated that he was very much heartened by
the full cooperation which had been given by the Presidents in
the matter of balancing the budgets for the year.
He was
advised by Mr. Crosley that, with the exception of one or two
institutions, all budgets can be balanced by the end of the
year without drawing on funds for the next fiscal year.
-1025-
it
Mr. Crosley stated that the use of the $200,000
allocated to the institutions by Doctor Ade for the provisions
of the Fire and Panic Act is nor/ being held up because there is
a possibility that a blanket allocation may be made to take care
of the provisions of the Fire and Panic Act in all institutions.
He added that Mr. Bashore of the Department of Labor and Industry
is handling the matter for all departments concerned and he is
dealing with Mr. Jones of the Works Progress Administration and
with the Governor, who, in turn, is taking the matter up with
Mr. Hopkins at Vfeshington. Up to the present time there has not
been a definite allocation to the State of Pennsylvania. Mr.
Crosley added that, as it now stands, there are three different
allocations to be made;
1.
The mandated requirements of the Department
of Labor and Industry for removal of fire
hazards as covered by the $200,000 already
allocated.
2.
The emergency lighting and fire alarm conditions that we had been unable to take care
of with the $200,000 that had been allocated.
It is expected that $200,000 will be
allocated for this purpose.
3.
Conditions detrimental to adequate safety.
$200,000 have been set up for this item.
Mr. Crosley advised the group to hold up bids already
requested for projects under item one and that the contractors
already assigned to the institutions be asked to draw up plans
and specifications for projects under items one and two on the
presumption that the money would be allocated. He suggested
that the third group be left go until definite word is received
from the Department.
Doctor Ade asked for suggestions concerning the
appointment of a Committee on Budgets, to take care of the
next fiscal year.
Doctor Armstrong suggested that the same committee
serve this year that had served last year in order that the
Board might receive the benefit of their experience.
Doctor Haas stated that he had been chairman of that
committee for three or four years and that he felt that new
members should be appointed in order to give a fresh point of
view.
Doctor Steele and Doctor Foster agreed with this statement
-1026-
Doctor Haas suggested that a committee of five members
be appointed rather than a committee of seven members which had
constituted the Committee on Budgets for the last few years.
Doctor Ade appointed the following committee: Doctor
Miller, Chairman, Doctor Allen, Doctor Ross, We. Crosley and
Mr. Klonower.

1936 Testing program of
Columbia University
Mr. Klonower read a letter from Doctor Ben D. Wood,
Director of the Bureau of Collegiate Educational Research of
Columbia University, asking if the State Teachers Colleges would
be interested in a five-year testing program. Mr. Klonower added
that he had suggested that the whole project should be worked out
in detail so that the President would have an opportunity to
study the project.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Rohrbach

before the Board at its next meeting to discuss the matter.

Communication from Mr. Philo Dix
State Secretary
Young Men's
Christian Association of Pennsylvania
,
,
Mr. Klonower read the following letter received under
date of March 4, 1936 from Mr. Philo C. Dix, State Secretary of
the Young Men's Christian Association of Pennsylvania;
"Mr. Henry Klonower
Secretary, Board of Presidents
of State Teachers Colleges
Capitol Building
Harrisburg, Pa.
My dear Mr. Klonower:
Practically all the State Teachers Colleges have Student
Y.M.C.A. s in their Student Bodies, and of course these are under
the supervision of the State Y.M.C.A. of Pennsylvania which I
represent.
f
.
In the Middle Atlantic States a new movement has been
organized called the Student Christian Movement which is entirely
independent of the National YMCA or the Pennsylvania State Y.M.C.A,
1028-
This new Movement is seeking to get the Student W.M.C.A.'s and
Y.w.C.A.'s to affiliate with them which would in the long run
of course mean the termination of their relationship to our
Organization.
There is no good reason why the State Y.M.C.A. of
Pennsylvania should insist upon continuing to carry the
responsibility for supervising the Student Work in the Colleges
for which the financial support has been very meager if those
who are most responsible for the Colleges really feel that the
work could as well or better be done by this new agency. We
have not felt however that this was a matter to be left to a
competitive struggle for the loyalties of the students who are
after all transitory factors in the situation and we are therefore seeking advice from the College Administrations with a
view to determining whether there are enough colleges who feel
concerned about the maintenance of this Y.M.C.A. relationship
to warrant the continuance of our program.
This issue is
already being made sharply on a number of the college campuses
in the Eastern half of the State.
There has not as yet been
much activity in the Western half but this will be inevitable.
I am writing to raise the question as to whether the
Teachers College Presidents would care to hear a presentation
of the problem, as I see it, after which they could of course
decide as to in what way, if any, they wish further to deal
with it.
Sooner or later this must be an administrative problem
on the campus, and it is our feeling that the administrations
have more, in the long run, at stake than the present generation of students.
I will appreciate your taking this matter up in the
appropriate way and will be glad if a period could be given me
for a presentation on your regular agenda or we will be
delighted to invite the Presidents to be our guests at luncheon
at the Penn Harris on the date of one of their meetings here.
Cordially yours,
(Signed) Philo C. Dix
State Secretary"
Doctor Miller suggested that the matter was one for the
individual consideration of each President.
On motion of Doctor Foster, seconded by Mr. Swope it was
unanimously voted that the item be tabled and that each institution
handle the matter for itself.
-1029-
F.
Formation of a Pennsylvania Teachers
College Athletic Conference
Doctor Foster read a letter from Mr. George P. Miller,
Director of Athletics at the State Teachers College at Indiana,
in which he stated the advantages of the organization of a conference of personnel connected with the administration of athletics
at the colleges.
Doctor Foster then read the following report of the
material gathered from the State Teachers Colleges relative to the
formation of an athletic conference.
"To the Board of Presidents
of the State Teachers Colleges
March 19, 1936
There seems to be general agreement on part of the rules
governing intercollegiate athletics among the teachers colleges, but
some of these seem to be arousing a good deal of trouble and other
problems have arisen that are not touched by the present rules.
Unless these differences can be cleared up and the right relationships
brought about the great values of intercollegiate athletics as they
should be conducted in colleges preparing teachers for the public
schools will be utterly lost. There should be a conference to work
,
out a plan:
1.
To agree on a set of rules for the
regulation of the varsity program.
To promote a healthy growth of the
program that will be a pattern for our
prospective teachers to emulate.
2.
To make sure that fair play, courtesy,
generosity, self-control and friendly
feelings for opposing school should not be
sacrificed in the desire to win.
3.
To draw up schedules for games, to
designate the number of games to be played,
to arrive at conference standing of teams.
4.
To carry on the following functions;
contribute to the efficient and successful
administration of eligibility rules and
athletic meets, publication of the results
of the conference games, publications of
approved lists of officials to handle the
games, prohibiting or permitting post- season
games and pre- season practice, regulating length
5.
-1030-
of schedules and using standard forms for records
and reports and finally proposing standards for
choosing coaches.
Among the most troublesome specific problems are the
following:
1.
Subsiding of athletes
2.
Spring football practice
3.
Early fall football practice
of school
4.
Selection of officials for football and
basketball
5.
The organization of schedules, the number
of games with teachers colleges, and similar
matters.
-
before opening
In the belief that these problems can be satisfactorily
solved only by the men directly in charge of the athletic programs in
the colleges it is suggested that each teic&ers college send not more
than three representatives, including the athletic coach, to a conference at Harrisburg during the time of the state Track Meet in May,
the members of this conference to be instructed to work out the rules
and regulations to govern all phases of the intercollegiate athletic
program for the teachers colleges and submit these to the Board of
Presidents for approval."
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Tanger it
was voted that the matter be referred to the Committee on Athletics,
that this committee arrange plans for a preliminary conference of
the representatives of the colleges to consider the matter of intercollegiate competition, and that the committee present the plans to
the Board of Presidents at its next meeting.
•
&•
A mandatory course, "Financing and
Administering Public School Sy stems"
Mr. Klonower asked that this item be held over on the
docket for the next meeting of the Board.
H.
Procurement of recording equipment
for Speech Correction work
Doctor Rohrbach spoke of the difficulty he had experienced
with the Department of Property and Supplies in purchasing equipment for
the Speech Correction work at the college.
He stated that the Department
of Property and Supplies urged the purchase of cheap equipment which would
not serve the purpose.
-1031-
Doctor Steele and Doctor F;o7/land also stated that they
had experienced similar difficulty.
Doctor Ade asked that Mr. Klonower follow up the matter
with Mr. Crosley's office.
I.
T he granting of advanced standing
to students from other colleges
who are candidates for degrees in
State Teachers Colleges
Doctor flohrbach mentioned a specific case where a student
who would have had to complete two years of work to graduate from
the State Teachers College, Kutztown, was advised by a liberal arts
college that she could graduate in one year and then, by completing
eighteen semester hours in the field of art education at Kutztown,
could be certificated to teach art.
Mr. Klonower stated that the whole difficulty lay in the
fact that the requirements for certification in the special fields
should be thirty semester hours rather tnan eighteen semester hours,
He suggested that this matter be held in abeyance until the State
Council of Education has taken action on the resolution raising the
level of preparation.
J
•
Current policies concerning the
status of faculty members
Doctor Rohrbach stated that he had a member on his
instructional staff who came in at the beginning of the master's
degree level at a time when he was about to complete the work for
the doctor's degree.
Nov/ that he has completed his doctorate,
there is no way by which he can be raised to a higher level.
Mr. Klonower suggested that the matter is a budgetary one
and that adjustments may be made with the approval of the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction.
The whole question of the transfer of faculty members
from one institution to another at an increase in salary v/as
discussed.
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Miller it
was voted that the Budget Committee study the problem of rank in
the institution, the relation of salaries to rank, and the allocation of the higher salary levels in the various institutions for
report at the next meeting of the Board.

Chief, Division of School Lav;,
Department of Public Instruction,
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Dear Doctor Ackley:
You have asked to be advised whether State funds may
be used to defray the traveling expenses of instructors of
State Teachers Colleges who are conducting extension courses.
The Act of May 29, 1931, P. L. 243, Section 40,
amending the Act of May 18, 1911, P. L. 309, Article 20,
Section 2005, and the Act of April 25, 1929, P. L. 712, Section
1,
provides:
"The Board of Presidents of the
State Teachers' Colleges shall consist
of the presidents of the several colleges
and the Superintendent of Public Instruction,
who shall be the chairman, and the board
shall elect a secretary.
The board shall
formulate the educational policies of the
colleges. * * * a majority of all members
of the board shall constitute a quorum, and
any action favored by a majority of the members
:
•
.
i
-2-
Honorable Clarence E. Ackley
shall, when approved by the Superintendent
of Public Instruction, be binding upon all
of the colleges."
The Act of May 18, 1911, P. L. 309, Article
20, Section 2010, as amended April 25,
Section
1,
1929, P. L. 712,
provides:
"It shall be the duty of the
Superintendent of Public Instruction
to prescribe all forms, and to give
all instructions required for carrying
into full effect the acts establishing
and regulating the State Teachers
Colleges on all points not herein
set forth in detail."
The General Appropriation Act of 1935 pro-
vides in part as follows concerning the use of the sum
appropriated to the State Teachers Colleges:
"and incidental expenses; and
for all other expenses of maintenance
and operation necessary for the proper
conduct of the work of the State Teachers'
Colleges, and the Cheney Training School
for Teachers, as may be authorized and
approved by the Superintendent of Public
Instruction * * *."
This same provision was contained in the General
Appropriation Act of 1933.
It appears that the extension work involved here
was properly authorized and established.
The Board of Presidents
-3-
Honorable Clarence E. i^ckley
of State Teachers Colleges, by a motion passed at a meeting
held March 15, 1935, provided that the Teachers Colleges
could furnish a certain number of extension courses.
This
policy of the Board of Presidents was approved by the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
The Superintendent of
Public Instruction also authorized expenditures for traveling expenses in connection with the extension work.
It would seem that the traveling expenses
of teachers conducting extension courses come within the
above provision of the General Appropriation ^ct relating
to Teachers Colleges.
Such traveling expenses constitute
an expense necessary for effectively administering a policy
which has been made a part of the proper work of the State
Teachers Colleges, and they have been authorized and approved
by the Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Honorable Clarence E. Ackley,
Therefore, you are advised that State funds
may be used to defray the traveling expenses of instructors of State Teachers Colleges who are conducting extension
courses.
Very truly yours,

Report of the Curricular
Revision Committee
1.
Revision of Curriculums
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision
Committee, submitted the following report and stated that the
report was presented as the basis for consideration and discussion by the Board:
"REPORT OF THE CURRICULAR REVISION COMMITTEE
May 15, 1936
Pursuant to the principles laid down by the National
Study of Teacher Training and subsequently adopted by this Board
as the principles which should guide the study of the curriculum,
your committee desires to present the following general pattern
for a revision of the four year elementary and secondary curriculums.
This pattern for the first two years is presented for study
and discussion on the part of the Presidents and their staffs.
1.
The first two years of the elementary
and secondary curriculums shall consist
of broad, basic, liberal cultural
experience designed to acquaint the
students with the major areas of human
culture; to give the students opportunity
and assistance in discovering and developing valuable and enduring interests; to
give the teachers college staff opportunity
to evaluate the students' fitness for
teaching service and to furnish data for
more intelligent and selective admission
to the technical and professional preparation of teachers.
2.
The amount of specific professional
experience included in the first two
years shall be small and shall be
limited to courses vital to all citizens
-1036-
-
not merely to those who will teach but
also to those who will as laymen help to
determine the content and the character
of public school activities.
3.
In the first two years or lower division
every effort shall be made to furnish a
rich social environment and experience in
fine living.
This period should provide
opportunity to correct health or speech
defects, to make up deficiencies in such
subjects as art or music where in high
school or grades the student may not have
had the opportunity to reach an acceptable
standard.
4.
Throughout the first two years and continued
during the upper division wide reading on
current affairs shall be encouraged by means
of the public forum and quarterly tests in
contemporary affairs. This shall not constitute the basis for "required courses" but
the results of such tests shall be used as a
basis for study of the students' interest and
alertness in significant current affairs.
5.
Before admission to the upper division in
which the more technical and professional work
will be given, students will be required to
meet such standards of health, scholarship,
personality and character as may be set up in
addition to present entrance requirements.
Adequate records of the first two years and
careful guidance with comprehensive examinations
will furnish a more sound basis of selection.
6.
The curriculum of the first two years shall
consist of survey and sequence courses in the
following general fields:
a.
Languages and Literature
b.
Social Science
c.
Natural Science
-1037-
d.
Philosophy and Arts
e.
Health and Physical Education
7.
The technical and professional work shall be
concentrated in the third and fourth years
and shall be integrated with observation,
participation and responsible teaching in the
laboratory schools.
8.
Flexibility in administration of the third
and fourth years of the elementary curriculum shall be allowed so as to attain as far
as possible initial competence for the
beginning teacher and continued professional
and cultural growth for the experienced
teacher seeking to meet four year standard
certification.
9.
This committee is now developing suggested
outlines for study and criticism by Presidents
Suggestions are welcomed in
and their staffs.
order to assist the committee in setting up
the most productive arrangement of experience
and courses in the time available for teacher
education.
Respectfully submitted
T. T. Allen
Q. A. W. Rohrbach
Robert M. Steele
Henry Klonower "
Doctor Steele stated that the report was made with the
thought in mind that the changes in the curriculums would
affect all students entering the State Teachers Colleges and
was not meant for students who planned to complete only the
first two years of the broad cultural education recommended.
On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Ross
it was voted that the report of the Curricular Revision Committee as of May 15, 1936 be approved and that the Committee
be authorized to proceed with the development of the suggested
outline for further study and criticism by the Board at a
subsequent meeting.

Doctor Steele stated that the committee wishes to

continued on the docket.
Doctor Steele than read the following resolution for
consideration by the Board:
"Whereas, it is generally recognized by school
administrators and by institutions engaged in
the education and preparation of teachers
that the present minimum requirement of
eighteen (18) semester hours for certification
in the secondary and special fields is inadequate to insure competent teachers in these
fields therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Board of Teachers College
Presidents respectfully request the State
Council of Education to consider the
advisability of reviewing all requirements
for certification in the secondary and special
fields.
Respectfully submitted

Doctor Rowland stated that he is opposed to the
resolution because it is not possible to add more preparation
to be earned within the four-year curriculum.
He stated that
he represents an area where there are small high schools and
they will be unable to secure properly certificated teachers.
Doctor Rohrbach spoke of the differentiation in professional training between the graduates from the State Teachers
Colleges and from the liberal arts colleges.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Miller
it was voted that the resolution be adopted.
Doctor Ross voted
"no'''
on this motion.

Report of commi tt ee re "modi fication
of the law fo r" perman ent certification

B.
Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the committee, submitted
the following report:
"REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE MODIFICATION OF THE LAW
FOR PERMANENT CERTIFICATION IN PENNSYLVANIA
May 15, 1936
Tile present legal provision relating to the permanent
college certificate appears in The School Laws of Pennsylvania as
section 1317 which is cited here:
?
:
Tne Superintendent of Public Instruction
shall issue a permanent college certificate
to every graduate of a college or university
approved by the State Council of Education
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and of
such departments therein, as are approved
by him, when such graduate furnishes satisfactory evidence of good moral character
and successful experience of three years'
teaching in the public schools of this
Commonwealth on a provisional college
certificate, and has completed such work
in education as may be approved by the
State Council of Education, which certificate shall entitle its holder to teach
without further examination.
The committee submits these proposals for the consideration of the Board of Presidents in respect to future
practices for permanent certification:
1.
A provisional college certificate shall
be valid for five years from the date
of its issue.
2.
It may be renewed once for a period of
five years upon the presentation of
twelve credits of additional preparation
attained since the date of graduation
from college and acquired at an institution or institutions approved by the
State Council of Education.
-1040-
3.
At the time of the expiration of the
renewed provisional college certificate
the holder shall be eligible for a
permanent college certificate by presenting twelve additional credits of
preparation acquired in the manner
provided for the renewal of the provisional college certificate.
4.
The committee solicits any constructive
suggestions which you may have in evolving a plan which can be incorporated
in a revision of Section 1317 of the
School Code.

Report o f Budget C ommi ttee
1*
Allocations for 1956-57
Doctor Miller, Chairman of the Committee, submitted
the following report of the Committee:
"Report of Budget Committee
State Teachers Colleges
The budget committee, appointed by the Superintendent
of Public Instruction for the purpose of suggesting a procedure to
be followed in the distribution of $1,500,000, appropriated for
the State Teachers Colleges for the fiscal year beginning June 1,
1956, met Thursday, May 14, 1956, in room 517 Education Building,
Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Those
present were:
Dr. Carmon Ross, President, State Teachers College, Edinboro
Dr. Charles S. Miller, President, State Teachers College, Slippery Rock
Dr. T. T. Allen, President, State Teachers College ,; East Stroudsburg
Mr. D. E. Crosley, Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg
Mr. Henry Klonower, Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg
Doctor Charles S. Miller, Chairman, called the meeting
to order and reviewed the basis on which the allocations were made
for the fiscal year 1955-56.
The committee felt that in the distribution of the $1,500,000 available for the State Teachers Colleges
for the fiscal year 1956-57, a basic philosophy should be followed,
namely, that the institutions should be considered an integrated
teacher education system and that allocations should be made so
that each institution can maintain an effective educational program
to serve the best interests of the area in which it is located.
Each institution must be provided with sufficient funds to maintain
an adequate staff, the necessary laboratory facilities, and an
acceptable plant. The distribution of funds must be based on actual
needs and commensurate with the service demanded in providing an
adequate program to the service area.
The committee believes that there should be appointed
immediately a budget committee that will study a method of allocation of funds for the next biennium. This will provide for adequate
time to develop a scientific procedure based on past experiences and
future needs.
The committee is convinced that no radical change in the
plan of the current fiscal year can be made at this time and therefore recommends to the Superintendent of Public Instruction the
-1045-
following procedure for the distribution of available funds:
1.
The committee recommends that the sum
of $1,450,000 be designated as Fund
Number I. This money is to be allocated
proportionately to the fourteen State
Teachers Colleges on the basis on which
the original allocation, to the amount
of $1,398,000, was made for the fiscal
year 1935-36.
2.
The committee believes that a second
fund should be established in the amount
of $25,000 and that it be designated as
Fund Number 2 and called the adjustment
fund.
The committee recommends that the
money in this fund be allocated to the
different institutions on March 1, 1937
on the basis of enrollments as of
October 15, 1936, and that it should not
be used for any other purpose.
3.
There shall be established an emergency
fund to be known as Fund Number 3. The
amount of money allocated to this fund
should be ^25,000.
It should be available
for distribution by the State Superintendent
of Public Instruction to meet major emergencies that may develop in the institutions
from the following causes;
a.
Damages resulting from external
causes to plant and equipment.
Such emergencies would develop
from storm, flood, lightning,
et cetera.
b.
Damages resulting from internal
causes to plant and equipment.
Such emergencies would develop
from bursting water pipes,
explosion of boiler, et cetera.
The committee believes that the money in this
fund, if unallocated before March 1, 1937,
-1044-
should be distributed to the institutions
on this date on the basis of need.
Respectfully submitted,
Cannon Ross
T. T. Allan
D. E. Cros ley-
Henry Klonower
Charles S. Miller, Chairman"
Doctor Rowland asked why the contingent funds were
reduced in amount from $100,000 to $50,000.
Doctor Miller replied that the committee felt that the
matter of enrollments was not nearly as pressing now as it had
been in the past.
The committee further felt that each President
should know the amount of money that will be available rather than
to plan on the possibility of securing additional money later
from one of these funds.
-
.
Doctor Ade commended the committee on its report and
added that he was happy to state that there will be no deficits
in the budgets at the end of the fiscal year.
He then asked for
suggestions concerning the allocation of money other than those
recommended by the committee.
It was agreed that a Budget Committee should start
work at once on planning the basis for the allocations for the
next fiscal year.
Doctor Ade appointed the follov;ing Budget Committee to
plan the basis for the allocations of funds for the next biennium:
Doctor Miller, Chairman, Doctor Ross, Doctor Allen, Doctor
Rohrbach, Doctor Haas, Mr. Crosley and Mr. Klonower.
Doctor Ade asked if the Board thought it advisable to
have a man outside of the group to work with the committee.
Doctor Steele stated that it was his feeling that this
would be extremely helpful from a number of angles.
2.
Rank and salaries of members of
the instructional sta ffs
Doctor Miller, Chairman of the Budget Committee,
suggested that the new Budget Committee just appointed should
consider this question*
-1045-
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor
Rohrbach it was voted that the report of the Budget Committee
be accepted.
Doctor Ade then read the following letter from Mr.
Arthur Colegrove, Secretary of Property and Supplies, for the
information of the Board:
"Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
DEPARTMENT OF PROPERTY AND SUPPLIES
Harri sburg
May 8, 1936
Doctor Lester K. Ade
Superintendent of public Instruction
Harri sburg, Pennsylvania
Dear Doctor Ade:
It has been unofficially called to my attention that in
certain of our State Institutions, among other serious
substandard conditions, hazards exist in heating plants
due to the carrying of improper steam pressures, probably
necessitated by the existing conditions of the system.
am passing this information on to you with the thought
that you may deem it of sufficient importance to have a
check made on each institutional heating system.
I
Very truly yours
(Signed) Arthur Colegrove
Secretary of Property and Supplies"
Mr. Crosley stated that Mr. Bashore of the Department
of Labor and Industry who had been designated to clear all W.P.A.
projects for the State institutions had gone to Washington with
Mr. Jones of the W.P.A. and had received approval from Mr. Hopkins
for plans taking care of conditions in the State institutions.
He
stated that approval had been given for $600,000 although as yet no
definite allocation had been made.
Mr. Crosley further added that the Governor had requested
an appropriation of $500,000 from the General Assembly, $200, 000
of which would be used to take care of the $200,000 which was needed
to throw into the fund in order to secure the $400,000 of Federal money,
-1046-
If this amount of money is appropriated, the total amount
received by the State Teachers Colleges will be $800,000. He
suggested that the institutions have preliminary plans drawn up
and submitted to the district office of the W.P.A. so that
there would be no hold-up when the allocation of Federal money
is made.' In the event that the approval of the .,3400,000 does
not go through, the payment of architects' fees will be made
from the original $200,000 allocation already made to the
State Teachers Colleges.

Membership to the American Council
on Education
Mr. Klonower stated that he had written to Doctor
Zook asking for definite information concerning the possibility
of securing group membership for the Board of presidents to the
American Council on Education, and that he had received the
following reply from Doctor C. S. Marsh, Associate Director of
the .iiEierican Council on Education:

For Dr. Zook I reply to your inquiry of the fourth concerning
group membership of the Board of Presidents in the American
Council on Education.
The question raised is not fully answered either by our
practice or by our governing regulations.
I shall, therefore,
have to bring it before our Executive Committee. Just when
this Committee will next meet I do not know at the moment, but
there is some prospect of another meeting before the summer.
I
take it that this slight delay will not cause you any great
inconvenience.

answer is desirable, I will take other steps.

1956 Testing program of
Columbia University
Doctor Ben D. Wood, Director of the Bureau of
Collegiate Research of Columbia University, appeared before
the Board.
Doctor Wood stated that the proposal he had to make
is unofficial and preliminary in nature.
He stated that a
committee had been appointed by the Eastern States Association,
that Doctor M. Ernest Townsend, President of the New Jersey
State Normal School at Trenton, is chairman of the committee,
and that Mr. Klonower had been requested to serve on the
committee to represent Pennsylvania.
The purpose of the
Committee is to formulate a five-year experimental program
including testing and guidance, the objective of which is to
define appropriate professional standards for each grade and
level of teacher. The committee is committed to the possibility
of combining the entrance examinations of the Teachers College
Personnel dissociation with the testing program carried on by the
American Council on Education. The study is to be by and for the
teacher training institutions and the uses of the project should
be constructive rather than critical.
Doctor Wood stated that the results of the program
might be grammar i zed in four headings:
1.
Better selection of students, for entrance
not only to the lover division of the
curriculum but to the upper division.
2.
Better progressive elimination of undesirable
students from the professional courses.
In
this connection it was felt by the panel of
the Eastern States Association which met in
New York City that teacher training institutions would inevitably face the problem
of providing general education to non-professional groups.
3.
4 better progressive guidance throughout
the two years or four years of preparation
as the case may be.
-1048-
4.
Better cooperation with the schools in
the communities since the nature of the
program might relieve the institution
of the necessity of rejecting a student
who might then apply and be admitted to
another teacher training institution.
Doctor Wood expressed his appreciation of the opportunity
of speaking to the Board and stated that the whole program for
testing is the outcome of work started in Pennsylvania several
years ago. He added that the program is merely an effort to
spread this good work throughout the several states and give it
a more definite organization and continuity.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Armstrong
it was voted that the Board extend thanks to Doctor Wood for his
interesting and stimulating presentation.
Doctor Haas suggested that Mr. Klonower keep the Board
advised as to the developments of the committee of which he is
a member.

Doctor Ade suggested that he felt that it would be
defensible to have such a conference since one had not been
held for a number of years.
He suggested that such a conference
should include representatives from groups above and below the
State Teachers Colleges, in other words, the groups supplying
the material for the State Teachers Colleges and receiving the
product of the State Teachers Colleges.
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Steele it
was voted that the Superintendent of Public Instruction be authorized
to appoint a committee of three to report back to the Board concerning the advisability of holding such a conference.
Doctor Ade appointed a Faculty Conference Committee to
consist of: Doctor Foster, Doctor Rowland, and Mr. Swope.
B.
Salary Qualification Schedule
It was agreed that this item should be referred for study
to the Budget Committee.
C.
Memorandum of Agreement Instructional and non-instructional
staff - Annual election
Mi'. Klonower stated that a question had been raised as
to whether members of the instructional and non-instructional
staffs should be elected each year or if they continue in service
until dismissed by the Board of Trustees.
-1050-
It was brought out that some institutions elect the
members of the staffs at the close of each fiscal year while
other institutions do not annually elect instructors.
Mr. Klonower stated that the Salary Qualification
Schedule specifically states that "all contracts expire May 31."
Doctor Haas suggested that it might be advisable to
amend that section which refers to continuing contracts of
class 2, 3, and 4 school districts to include the State Teachers
Colleges.
D.
Duplicate copies of certificates
of approved training
Doctor Rowland raised a question concerning the policy
of other institutions with reference to supplying school boards
and school officials with copies of transcripts of credit.
It was brought out that Indiana, East Stroudsburg,
Lock Haven, and Cheyney furnish these transcripts when requested
to do so; California, Millersville, Clarion, Kutztown, and
Bloomsburg send out a summary of the work completed and urge
that school officials come to the office to examine the records;
Edinboro and Wast Chester send out general statements and, if
this is not sufficient, then transcripts are sent; Slippery Rock
sends out statements and urges officials to come to the office to
examine the records but, if a demand is made for transcripts,
these are sent.

COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION
HARRISBURG
May
6,
1936
To County, Assistant County, District, Assistant District,
Associate Superintendents, Supervising Principals of
Schools, and Presidents of Accredited Pennsylvania
Colleges and Universities:
Enclosed is a mimeographed statement concerning the requirements for the State Standard Limited Certificate as they apply to teachers
who begin their preparation after January 1, 1937.
The improvement in
instructional service is not likely to be observed until a large group of
teachers who have completed the additional preparation actually secure
positions in the public schools.
It seems reasonable to conclude that the
additional preparation included within the new program will bring to the
boys and girls in the public schools an enriched type of teaching service.
The program is unique in that it provides the opportunity for
a teacher, after she has acquired an earning capacity or a teaching position,
to continue her preparation, consistent with sound scholarship and effective
teaching.
This growth in service has long been advocated as a sensible
teacher education program. While the program for the further education of
teachers does not prescribe four years of preparation immediately, it looks
forward to the eventual completion of this amount of preparation.
In this
connection it is interesting to note that the figures in the Teacher Division
show that one year ago there werp 3,902 college graduates prepared for the
elementary field teaching in the public schools and now 5,772 college graduates are teaching in the elementary schools.
The enclosed mimeographed statement is submitted to avoid misunderstandings.
In the judgment of those who have given due consideration
to the program, it is a step forward in improving the instructional service
to the boys and girls in the public schools.

THE STATS COUNCIL OF EDUCATION APPROVES PROGRAM

FOR THE FURTHER EDUCATION OF TEACHERS
Doctor Lester K. Ade
,
Superintendent of Public Instruction, has
announced that the State Council of Education, at their last meeting, amended
the regulations for the certification of teachers to provide for an additional
year of preparation for the State Standard Limited Certificate.
This certificate
is now issued where the applicant has completed two years of preparation for
teaching in the elementary schools.
The new standard of education adopted by the Council applies only to
teachers who begin their preparation after January
1,
1937;
the new regulation
prescribes three years of post secondary school education instead of two years
as is now required under the present regulation.-
required this amount of preparation for
a
Some school districts have
number of years.
Teachers who have
already begun cheir preparation will not be required to do the additional sork
so that the
regulation is not retroactive nor does it apply to teachers in
service at the present time.
The regulation just approved has teen before the State Council for
three years and due consideration was given to it by educational institutions,
administrative officials and teachers.
The general opinion of the group was
that not only would the interests of the boys and girls in the public schools
be better served by the advanced education standard for beginning teachers,
but that the preparation would also provide for a better type of instructional
service.
One of the many commendable features of the program is the fact that
this certificate is valid for three years;
the certificate is renewable every
three years when the holder has completed twelve semester hours of additional
education and so on until the teacher earns her college certificate.
Th^
program will assure growth in service on the part of the teacher and will
also provide for continuous adjustments to new situations as they arise.
The preparation is secured at the time when the teacher has acquired an
earning capacity.
The program has been described as an "earning and learning"
in-service teacher education program.
While many states have adopted advanced preparation programs, few
have embodied the principle of learning while teaching.
The state of Delaware
has just adopted a program which requires four years of college preparation
New York state requires three years of preparation for teaching;
for teaching.
after October 1956, the state of Connecticut will require four years of prepa-
ration for teaching; New Jersey requires three years of preparation as
a
minimum requirement.
The teacher education program which will go into effect January 1,
1937 prescribes that the State Standard Limited Certificate shall be issued
in accordance with the following regulations:
1.
2.
The school laws specifically require that every teacher
must be;
-
a.
At least eighteen years of age
Section 1202)
b.
Of good moral character (School Code
c.
In sound physical and mental health (School Codp
Section 1520)
d.
Not in the habit of using narcotic drugs or
intoxicants (School Code - Section 1320).
(School Code
-
Section 1202).
-
Applicants for this form of certificate must have completed
an approved four year secondary school curriculum, or
approved equivalent education, and three; years, or the
equivalent, of professional preparation for teaching.
-2-
5.
This certificate will be valid for three years,
renewable for an additional period of thr-^
years upon a rating of "low" or better and the
satisfactory completion of twelve semester hours
of further approved preparation, subsequent
renewals to require a rating of "middle" or
better on a State teachers' rating score card
together with twelve semester hours of further
approved preparation.
,
4.
The State Standard Limited Certificate may be
exchanged for a provisional college certificate
when the applicant has met, the requirements for
this form of certificate.
An applicant for the State Standard Limited Certificate
should have completed at least the first three years of an approved
curriculum for the preparation of elementary teachers, including
not less than six semester hours of approved student teaching.
Additional courses prescribed for renewal purposes should be selected
in accordance v/ith the particular degree curriculum in which the
applicant has been enrolled and which should advance the holder of thState Standard Limited Certificate towards the completion of a four
year curriculum.
