English Speech
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision
Committee, reported progress and stated that the Committee had
submitted to the different institutions the general outline concerning the revision of the first two years of the four- year
curriculum. The Committee believes that final action ought to be
deferred pending the decision of the Faculty Conference Committee
since these matters have al?/ays been brought before the faculties
of the State Teachers Colleges.
Doctor Steele explained that it was not the thought
of the Curricular Revision Committee to get away from the profesIt is merely meeting the criticism of the
sional point of view.
liberal arts colleges that the amount of professional work compared to the content is excessive.
It is the thought of the Committee to enrich the curriculum by condensing the professional
courses.
Doctor Rowland stated that it appeared to him that
the essential difference between the proposed revision of the
first two years of the curriculum and the junior college idea is
the fact that these two years will be presented to the student in
a professional institution, in a professional atmosphere, and the
students will receive something of the professional character of
the courses.
On motion of Doctor Rohrbach, seconded by Mr. Swope
it was voted that the report of the Committee be accepted.
B.
Report of committee re "modification
of the law for permanent certification
in Pennsylvania "
Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the committee, reported
for the committee.
He asked that the item be held over until the
September meeting of the Board. He added that the committees of
the Pennsylvania State Education Association and the Andrews
Committee were considering this same matter.
-1054-
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Rowland
it was voted that the report of the committee be accepted.
C.
Report of committee re "recognition
by the Middle States Association"
Doctor Rov/land, Chairman of the Committee, reported
that the committee wishes to report progress. He then read the
following letter written to Doctor Rohrbach under date of June 9,
1936:
"Dr. Q. A. W. Rohrbach,
President, State Teachers College,
Kutztown, Pennsylvania
My dear Doctor Rohrbach:
As I indicated in my last letter to you I had a conference
with Doctor Grizzell in his office at the University of Pennsylvania
on Friday, June 5. Some progress seems to have been made in the
matter of our request for consideration by the Middle States Association as reported by Doctor Grizzell. He stated that a joint
committee of the two Commissions of the Association, the Commission
on Institutions of Higher Education and the Commission on Secondary
Schools consisting of E. D. Grizzell, University of Pennsylvania,
Secondary Commission, Chairman, Frank H. Bowles, Columbia University,
Secretary of the Higher Education Commission, Ira R. Kraybill,
Principal, Cheltenham High School, Elkins Park, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, Secondary Commission, Y/ilson Farrand, Princeton University, Higher Education Commission, George William McClelland,
University of Pennsylvania, Secretary of the Association, had met
to discuss the question.
After considerable discussion this committee came to the
conclusion that rather than accept the list of the American
Association of Teachers Colleges as an equivalent list, it would
be preferable to attempt to accredit such of the Teachers Colleges
as apply for such accreditment individually, and they recommended
to the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education that they
select three or four Teachers Colleges from the area covered by
the Association to be carefully investigated as a temporary step.
At a subsequent meeting of the Commission on Institutions
of Higher Education the recommendation of the committee v/as
accepted as far as the suggestion to attempt to accredit Teachers
•1055-
Colleges individually was concerned, but instead of agreeing to
the selection of three or four of the colleges a committee was
appointed to consider such modifications as might have to he
made of the standards set by the Commission on Institutions of
Higher Education in order to meet the Teachers College situation.
This committee is composed of Dr. James N. Rule, Chairman, Dr.
Harlan H. Horner, Assistant Commissioner for Higher Education of
New York State, Albany, and Dr. Frank H. Bowles, Secretary of the
Commission, Columbia University.
This committee was instructed to study the problem and
to report to the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education
in the fall.
In further explanation of the Joint committees reluctance
to accept the American Association of Teachers Colleges' list,
Doctor Grizzell told me that they accept as equivalent lists to
their own only the list of approved institutions of the North
Central Association, the Northwest Association, the Southern
Association and the association of American Universities, all of
which have comparable standards with the exception of the North
Central association v;hich they feel has even more advanced
standards than their own.
I suppose we can regard this report as an evidence of
progress in our negotiations. It would seem that it might be
wise to arrange with Doctor Rule for a joint meeting of his
committee and ours, and I am writing him making this suggestion.
With kindest regards,
I
am
Very sincerely yours,
Albert Lindsay Rowland
President"
Doctor Rowland added that on Monday, July 13, 1936, he
expected to meet with Doctor Rule, Chairman of the committee
appointed to consider such modifications as may have to be made
of the standards set by the Commission on Institutions of Higher
Education of the Middle States Association.
On motion of Doctor Tanger, seconded by Doctor Steele
it was voted that the report of the committee be accepted.
-1056-
D.
Report of committee re "modification
of the enrolliaent report on page 3"
Doctor Haas, Chairman of the committee, submitted the
following report of the committee:
"To the Members of the Board of Presidents:
In reply to the suggestion made by the Committee in
its report under date of March 20, 1936, Mr. Klonower sent to
all members of the board copies of the report, suggesting that
any changes desired be made in the form requested by the
Committee.
Edited reports have been received from five
institutions, in addition to letters from too other institutions.
The Committee makes the following proposals and suggestions with final report to be made to Mr. Klonower and that
he be authorized to modify the form in the light of our
suggestions as will best fit his needs. The following changes
are suggested for consideration:
1.
The caption attached to Class I Students to read as follows:
•Class I Students (who have met in full the entrance
requirements and who are pursuing as full-time students
a regularly adopted and authorized curriculum for the
preparation of teachers for the public schools,
including students who in completing a regularly
adopted and authorized curriculum need less than
13 semester hours)
as follows:'
2.
Modify the distribution under 'Curricula' of Class I
Students as follows for the second, third and fourth
years. Kindergarten-Primary below is given as a sample.

Modify the forms for distributing the Special Groups by
leaving blank the special designations such as Art,
Commerce, etc. Let each institution write in the name of
its distribution.
Six spaces will be ample for the needs
of any one institution.
-1057-
4.
Modify the distribution 'Number of Students' on page 2
following Class I by Class II and Class III, and securing
a total which will give only figures of actual professional
service rendered by the institution to teacher education.
Omit from this distribution Class IV-A Pupils.
5.
Page
6.
Page 4, rewrite caption as follows: 'Class III Part-Time
Students taking fewer than 13 semester hours. Do not
include students taking less than 13 semester hours which
are included in Class I.*
It has been commented that
this caption should read 'Taking fewer than 7 semester
hours.
However, it should be noted that this report is
developed to secure information relating to types of
enrollment v/hich do not necessarily correspond with
methods of payment. In other words, regularity of
enrollment changes at 13 semester hours. Methods of payment change at 7 semester hours.
3,
omit the distribution at the top of page.

Respectfully submitted,
Dr. Robert M. Steele
Dr. Henry Klonower
Dr. Francis B. Haas, Chairman"
Doctor Rohrbach expressed the opinion that the Class III
students should be broken down into four groups so that this
figure could be taken into consideration in the allocation of
State money.
He stated that several of the institutions have a
large number of Class III students and that this is not taken
into consideration since State money is allocated on the basis
of Class I students.
He added that, in many cases, a large
number of the Class III students may be taking as many as nine,
ten, eleven, or twelve semester hours of credit, placing a
heavy burden on the instructional staff, for which no compensation is received.
Doctor Steele and Doctor Rowland agreed with this point
of view.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Hill
it was voted that this report be accepted for study by each
member of the Board and a final report be made to Doctor Haas
who will present the result of the judgment of the members of
the Board at the meeting in September.

In the absence of Doctor Miller, Chairman of the
Budget Committee, no report for the Committee was submitted.
Doctor Rohrbach asked if there was to be any discussion
of the item, "Allocations for 1937-38."
Doctor Ade suggested that the Budget Committee meet and
confer with the State Superintendent of Public Instruction
during the last part of August as to the matter of restoration of
salary cuts, Fire and Panic Act provisions, et cetera, in order
that he may have the benefit of the advice of the Budget Committee before requesting appropriation for the year 1937-38.
Doctor Klonower brought to the attention of the Board
the possibility of making economies in the budget to adjust,
in part, the ten per cent reduction.
Doctor Rowland stated that, at the present time, we are
in the second year of a biennium in which the appropriations to
the State Teachers Colleges have already been made and we have
no way of increasing or altering salaries.
Doctor Steele stated that at the time the ten per cent
reduction was made it was the opinion of the Board that individual
adjustments could be considered on the merits of the case. He
stated that it is vital that some salary adjustments be made in
order to prevent the drifting away of the most competent staff
members.
-1Q59-
Doctor Ade asked that Doctor Ackley, now Director of
the Bureau of Administration and Finance, go over the budgets
to see if there is any way to save money in order that these
outstanding members of the faculty may be held.
Doctor Allen raised a question concerning the W.P.A.
projects under the Fire and Panic Act. He mentioned the
possibility of there being additional money if the necessary
repairs are done by ft.P.A. projects.
Doctor Ade replied that no provision could be made for
this until the Tv^P.A. projects are actually approved.
Doctor Rohrbach stated that the only item in their
budget on this matter is the three per cent fee for architectural
service. He added that he had been advised by Mr. Bashore's
office not to include in the budget the costs of materials.
In order to secure blanket action from the members of
the Board, Doctor Steele presented the following motion:
"It is the sense of this Board that, if
funds can be provided through economies
in the budget , and with the approval of
the Department of Public Instruction,
individual adjustments may be made when
recommended by the Board of Trustees."
Doctor Rowland stated that this is a system of teachers
colleges where, presumably, we have a common salary schedule. It
seemed to him that it would seriously break the morale of the
instructors in some of the institutions if it were learned that
teachers were receiving adjustments in other institutions.
Doctor Rohrbach stated that he agreed with the motion
for the year 1937-38 but not for the present year.
Doctor Steele added that there is no desire to attempt
to raise the level of salaries.
He added that the institutions
would have to justify the increases to the State Superintendent
of Public Instruction and increases would be recommended only
where salaries are considerably below the Salary Qualification
Schedule and that it is in the interests of the morale of the
institution to be willing to recognize the necessity of adjusting
individual salaries on this basis.
-1060-
The motion made by Doctor Steele was defeated by a
vote of ten to two.

1956 Testing Program of Columbia

B.
Fee Committee - Refund of Contingent
and Housing Fee3
Doctor Klonower read the following letter from Mr.
?.oy J. Keefef of the Board of Finance and Revenue, Treasury
Department, June 29, 1936:
"Dr. Lester K. Ade
Superintendent of public Instruction
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
Dear Dr. Ade:
Your letter of June 15th relative to Paragraph D-II,
Repayments of the Uniform Fees, Deposits, and Repayments in the
State Teachers Colleges, effective June 1, 1933, is very much
appreciated.
We are in thorough accord with you that the Board of
Trustees need not approve the absence of a student on account of
illness certified to by an attending physician and that the Board
of Trustees must approve any other reason for absence.
We go
further, however, and have taken the position that in either case
and in fact in any and all claims for refund, no matter for what
reason, the Board of Trustees should approve the actual amount of
the refund.
I have been talking with Mr. Klonower of your Department
on this matter and have suggested that same be presented to the
Board of Presidents of State Teachers Colleges when they meet on
July 10th. We feel that to have the Board of Trustees approve the
amount of refund in every case would place responsibility and
control over funds where it belongs.
We believe also that if the Board of Presidents were
to concur in the position we have taken the resolution referred
to above could be amended accordingly with the result that upon
being so notified all State Teachers Colleges would then be in a
position to prepare and submit claims for refund under a uniform
ruling.
-1063-
We therefore respectfully request that you present
our position to the Board of Presidents at their meeting on
July 10th with the purpose in view of having the Board of
Presidents concur in our position, and that the resolution
of the Board of Presidents be modified accordingly.
This whole problem has arisen because of the fact
that the Board of Trustees of some State Teachers Colleges
approve all claims for refund while others refuse to approve
the actual amount of the refund where the student has been
absent on account of personal illness certified to by an
attending physician.
Appreciating your cooperation,
I
am
Very truly yours
(signed)
HOY J. KEETER
for
WALTER J. KRESS, Secretary"
It was agreed that the members of the Board will advise
their Board of Trustees to cooperate with the Board of Finance
and Revenue in order that a uniform procedure may be followed.
C.
Cooperative Enterprise and Laundry
Management
Mr. W. A. Sponsler, Assistant Budget Secretary, appeared
before the Board and presented a plan for the testing of the
laundries of the State Teachers Colleges. This program is to be
established in cooperation with Pennsylvania State College. He
stated that the cost for the visit of an expert to the laundry
of each institution, for the analyzing of laundry as to percentage
of soil removal, strength of texture, retention of whiteness, et
cetera, would be $440 for the State Teachers Colleges to be pro
rated as follows:
Bloomsburg

Doctor Allen asked if this would include a study of
labor costs in the various institutions.
Mr. Sponsler replied that this would be done.
Doctor Tanger asked if the matter of the composition
of the water would be looked into.
"Mr. Sponsler replied that the composition of water
was taken into consideration and the institution advised whether
or not a water softener is needed.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Haas
it was voted that the teachers colleges participate in the study
and that the $.440 be pro rated among the institutions.
D.

Limited Certificate
On motion of Doctor Ross, seconded by Doctor Walsh

E.
Advisability of Securing the
Services of a Food Expert for
the State Teachers Colleges
Doctor Klonower read a communication which he had
received concerning the advisability of having a food expert
serve the State Teachers Colleges in the selection of meats.
Mr. W. H. VanZant of State College, Pennsylvania, claims that
there is a wide range of difference in the percentage of waste
in the carcasses.
One familiar with these matters could be
able to recommend purchases with the least possible waste and
thus effect a considerable saving to institutions.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Ross
it was voted that Mr. VanZant be thanked for his suggestion and
that the matter be taken up with the dietitians of each institu-
tion.
F.
Length of Residence Period

K.
X-Ray Exam nations- Pennsylvania
Tuberculosis Society
Doctor Klonower stated that the Pennsylvania Tuberculosis Society is carrying on in the public schools of the
Commonwealth an intensive drive for the discovery of tuberculosis
among students. X-ray pictures of children have been taken,
developed and sent to the school physician who, in turn, sends
the children to their own physician where cases are disclosed. He
stated that the great difficulty is making the teachers conscious
of this problem. He suggested that one college might cooperate
with the Society during the summer session. The X-ray apparatus
could be brought into the college and, after a preliminary presentation, the teachers might be brought into the X-ray examination
program. He added that the cost of the X-ray picture would be
from $.75 to :>1.00 per person.
Doctor Haas stated that he felt that the institutions
are not doing what they should in the matter of health examinations,
Doctor Rowland volunteered his institution as the
institution in which this experiment could be initiated during the
summer session. He stated that for the past two years tests had
been made at the Mont Alto Sanatorium free of charge.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Haas
it was voted that the item be referred to Doctor Klonower for
continued cooperation with the Pennsylvania Tuberculosis Society.
L.
Field trips for credit
Doctor Klonower stated that he had two requests in line
with the progressive movement to carry education out beyond the
classroom. He stated that one institution wished to organize a
geography class including a bus trip covering three weeks through
southeastern United States.
Doctor Rowland stated that he is in favor of such trips
provided the institution stands back of the course and puts its
reputation back of the credit given.
Mr. Swope stated that the one outstanding thing in
education which he had sensed was the travel program.
Doctor Klonower then spoke of the arrangements which
had been made with the University of Madrid, University of
-1067-
Porto Rico, University of Paris, University of Oxford,
University of Mexico, and the French, German, and Spanish
colonies at Middlebury, Connecticut. He stated that courses
completed at such institutions are given full credit for
certification.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Mr. Sv/ope
it was voted that it is the sense of the Board that such
extension of educational facilities in proper control and with
adequate staff be approved with the provision that the student
will pay the regular semester hour fee plus the expenses of the
trip.
Doctor Ross raised a question concerning the possibility
of allowing students to complete four semester hours of credit
during the three weeks summer session.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Hill
it was voted that this item be considered definitely as an item
to be brought before the Board at its next meeting and that, in
the meantime, all cases of this kind be referred to Doctor
Klonower with the understanding that he will have full authority
in such matters.

Summer Session Enrollments
High School Graduates

Recent
Doctor Klonower distributed a chart indicating the
comparative enrollments for the summer sessions of 1934, 1935
and 1936.
Doctor Riemer suggested that in comparing the summer
session enrollments, the percentage of the summer session
enrollment compared with the winter enrollment should be taken
into consideration.
It was agreed that this should be done.

there seemed to be some relationship between the miles-distance from
the State Teachers College and the professional status of teachers.
He added that he would be glad to furnish additional copies of the
chart to any of the members of the Board for use in courses in
education.

be in a position to keep the opportunities of the Summer
Sessions before the teachers.

Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curri cular Revision Committee,
reported for tne Committee. He stated that arrangements have been made
for the Committee to have a two-day session to go into the suggestions
made by the various faculties. Not all the institutions have replied
to the inquiry sent out in May.
He stated that the Committee would
appreciate having the suggestions of the faculties as to what the core
subjects as well as the electives in the first two years of the curriculum should be.
Doctor Steele distributed bulletins from the State Normal
School at Patterson, New Jersey, describing a curriculum which is
being put into effect in that institution. He suggested that each
President study the bulletin carefully in the light of the proposed
revision of the first two years of the curriculum in Pennsylvania.
Doctor Klonower stated that, if this nev/ pl.an works
satisfactorily at Patterson, it will be extended throughout Now Jersey.
Doctor Steele then submitted the following report of the
Committee on the length of residence period required for a degree:

He port of commi t tee_ re "recognition
by the Middle States Association "
Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the committee, reported for
the committee.
He stated that, since the last meeting of the Board,
the committee had gotten in touch with Doctor Rule, chairman of a
joint committee of the two Commissions of the Association, the
Commission of Institutions of Higher Education and the Commission
on Secondary Schools.
He stated that the result of their meeting
-1074-
was a statement of principles and standards for the rating of
State Teachers Colleges. He added that item #11 of the following "Principles and Standards for Pating Teachers Colleges" is
slightly different from the original statement of Doctor Rule s
Committee:
f
PRINCIPLES AND STANDARDS FOR RATING TEACHERS COLLEGES
I
.
Definition of a Teachers College
Teachers College (Four Year institution Granting Degrees)
A teachers college, within the meaning of these standards, is a
state, municipal or incorporated private institution, not operating
for profit, or an independent unit of a recognized colls ge or
university having at least one four-year unified curriculum; which
is devoted exclusively to the preparation of teachers; which has
legal autliority to grant a bachelor's degree; which has granted and
continues to grant such degrees; and which requires for admission
the completion of a standard four- year secondary school curriculum,
or equivalent education approved by this Association.
II.
Standards for Admission
A teachers college shall require for admission the satis~
factory completion of a four-year program of studies of not fewer
than fifteen units in a secondary school approved by a recognized
accrediting agency, or the equivalent of such a program. Evidence
of a program of selective admissions shall be submitted to the
accrediting committee. Experience in teaching shall in no case be
accepted for entrance credit nor in discharge of the requirements
for graduation except as a part of the student teaching requirement
for teachers in service.
III.
Standards for Graduation
A teachers college shall require for graduation the completion of a minimum quantitative requirement of 120 semester hours
of credit (or the equivalent in term hours, quarter hours, points,
majors or courses) with further scholastic qualitative requirements
adapted by each institution to its conditions. Credit for not more
than thirty semester hours of work in extension classes may be permitted. No degree, certificate or diploma shall be issued by a
teachers college to a student who has not spent a minimum of one
year (thirty semester hours) in regular residence work in the
institution issuing the certificate, degree or diploma. One year
of residenoe work shall be understood to mean one year of full-time
study or two half years or the equivalent of one year in summer
sessions.
-1075-
IT.
Number of Degrees
The conferring of a multiplicity of degrees is discouraged.
Small institutions should confine themselves to one or two. When more
than one baccalaureate degree is offered, all should he equal in
requirements for admission and for graduation.
Institutions of
limited resources and inadequate facilities for graduate work should
confine themselves strictly to undergraduate courses.
V.
Size, Preparation and Teaching Load of Faculty
The size of the faculty should bear a definite relation
t& the type of institution, the number of students and the number
of courses offered.
For a college of approximately 100 students
in a single curriculum the faculty should consist of at least eight
fully qualified instructors devoting full time to college work. With
the growth of the student body the number of full-time teachers
should be correspondingly increased.
The development of varied
curricula should involve the addition of further fully qualified
members of the instructional staff.
The education of the members of the faculty of professorial rank should include at least two years of study in their respective fields of teaching in a recognized graduate school.
It is
desirable that the education of all persons of professorial rank
should be equivalent to that required for the doctor's degree, or
should represent a corresponding professional or technical education.
A college should be judged in large part by the ratio which the number
of persons of professorial rank with appropriate education, scholarly
achievement and successful experience as teachers bears to the total
of the teaching staff.
Teaching schedules exceeding 16 hours per week per instructor, or classes (exclusive of lectures) of more than thirty students
should be interpreted as endangering educational efficiency.
VI.
Financial Support
The minimum annual operating income for an accredited
college, exclusive of payment of interest, annuities, etc., should
be ^50,000, of which not less than $25,000 should be derived from
stable sources, other than students, preferably from permanent
endowments.
Increase in faculty, student body and scope of instruction should be accompanied by increase in income from endowment. The
financial status of each college should be judged in relation to its
educational program.
VII.
Buildings and Equipment
The material equipment and upkeep of a teachers College
including its buildings, lands, laboratories, apparatus, and
-1076-
libraries and their efficient operation in relation to its educational
progress shall also be considered when judging an institution*
VIII.
Library
A teachers college shall maintain an adequately housed,
well-distributed, professionally administered library. The library
shall be adapted to the courses of study offered and shall be large
enough to meet the needs of students and faculty. Adequate annual
provision for the purchase of new books and periodicals shall be made.
IX.
Demonstration-Practice School and Student Teaching
A teachers college shall maintain a demonstration-practice
school for purposes of observation, demonstration and supervised
teaching.
The use of an urban or rural school system under the professional control and supervision of the college is recommended as a
complimentary provision to meet this requirement. The minimum amount
of student teaching required of every graduate of a teachers college
shall be 90 recitation hours of supervised teaching in addition to an
adequate program of observation and student teaching conference.
X-
Organization of the Program of Studies
In determining the standing of a teachers college, emphasis
will be placed on the character of the program of studies, the
efficiency of instruction, the general administrative policy, the
standard for regular degrees, the practice in granting honorary
degrees, the professional tone of the institution and its success in
stimulating and preparing students to do satisfactory work in
recognized graduate, professional or research institutions.
XI.
Professional Security
The administrative officials and instructional staff of
an accredited teachers college must be free from political or other
influences abridging academic freedom and must have some measure of
tenure to guarantee continuity of acceptable practices.
XII.
Accreditation
No teachers college shall be accredited until it has been
inspected and reported upon by an agent or agents regularly appointed
by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education,
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Steele it
was voted that the committee be allowed to report progress and that
this report be reviey/ed by the members of the Board for such
criticism and discussion as they feel may be desirable at the next
meeting of the Board, subsequent to which the committee will report
-1077-
to Doctor Rule's committee any further suggestions that the Board
sees fit to make.
Doctor Rohrbach suggested that each member of the Board
study, in particular, paragraph V, section two, apply tiie standards
to his own institution, and report back to Doctor Rowland before
the next meeting of the Board.
Doctor Rowland added that we are moving very satisfactorily toward accreditment by the Middle States Association.

Salary Adjustments
-
Doctor Miller, Chairman of the committee, reported for
the committee and submitted the following report:
"REPORT OF THE BUDGET COMMITTEE
Adjustment of Cooperative Teaching Reimbursement for
the Biennium 1937-1939:- The present plan of reimbursement for cooperative teachers seems to have developed a
number of inequalities and inequities. Consideration of
1,
-1078-
a revision is suggested, and the following plan is
proposed for such consideration. Any reimbursement
for any purpose tends to be more equitable to the
extent that a unit of service for which payment is
to be made may be defined.
The following proposal
is, therefore, suggested:
Unit of service - one student teacher per
semester - initial value of service ^25*00
per student per semester - value for each
succeeding year after the first to be
increased by $5.00 increments to a maximum
of ten increments.
In other words, reimbursement on this unit basis of service
would be for one student trained ^25. 00
for the first year, $30,00 for the second
year, $35.00 for the third year, etc. all other factors of training and qualifications to be the same as at present, or modifications to be made. This plan would appear
to treat the cooperative teachers the same
and in the long run would cost far less than
the present schedule, and since it is reasonable it would probably be possible to carry
it out. over a period of years.
Standardization of application of Standard V of the
2.
American Association of Teachers Colleges: Standard V
provides that "The following teaching load shall be the
maximum for a teachers college or normal school faculty:
16 recitation periods not exceeding 60 minutes each per
week or its equivalent. Equivalence shall be based upon
the ratio of one class period to one and one-half class
periods in shop, laboratory work and physical education."
An informal study of the application of this principle by
our different colleges indicates that different values
are being reported to the American Association. This
indirectly affects the administration of the institution
and, therefore, the general budget.
In other words, the
greater laboratory value an institution gives in any
subject, or subjects, the larger the possible faculty
load and, therefore, the smaller the number of members of
the faculty.
It is recommended that this question be
referred to the curriculum committee with the suggestion
that a uniform table be prepared for reporting and
administering such equivalents.

The committee is studying further the matter
of ranking faculty members and will present
a tentative report at the next meeting.

Charles S. Miller, Chairman
Doctor Haas stated that, when this scheme becomes
effective after one year, teachers' experience will be evaluated
at that time on the basis of their previous experience as
cooperative teachers.
Doctor Ross raised a question concerning changing the
number of increments from ten to six.
It was felt by Doctor Haas and Doctor Allen that the
increments should remain at ten in order to put the change
into effect with as little friction as possible.
Doctor Ade suggested that the budgets be made up on
the basis of the ten increments and that a phrase, "to be paid
in proportion to a semester's work" be included in the paragraph.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Steele
voted that paragraph one of the report of the Budget
Committee be accepted with the correction indicated above.

On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Steele it
was voted that sections two and three of the report be
accepted.
In connection with paragraph three, Doctor Rohrbach,
who is studying this problem, suggested that the members of the
Board write to him giving their reaction to the problem of the
ranKing of instructors. He added that he is v.riting to the
State Teachers Colleges in other states concerning this matter.
Doctor Ross, a member of the Budget Committee, submitted
the following recommendation:
"That the Superintendent of Public Instruction
be authorized to approve such adjustments in
salaries as he may deem necessary and expedient
provided such adjustments be within the ten per
cent reduction from the salaries paid any
-
1080-
individual in 1932, or provided such adjustments
may be absolutely essential for the efficient
administration of and instruction in any institution, and provided further that the budget of
said institution or institutions as approved for
the current year warrants or permits it."
On motion of Doctor Ross, seconded by Doctor Miller it
was voted that this recommendation be adopted.
Doctor Ade raised a question concerning the transfer
of instructors from one State Teachers College to another.
Doctor Klonower clarified the matter by stating that
the Presidents of both institutions concerned must be in
agreement concerning the transfer and the transfer must be
approved by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction.
It was decided that the budgets for the next biennium
should be based on a restoration of the ten per cent cut.

1556 Testing program of Columbia
University
Doctor Klonower read the following report of the
meeting of the committee on educational testing held at
Columbia University, May 25, 1936:
REPORT OF MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATIONAL TESTING
May 25, 1936
I attended a meeting of the committee on educational
testing appointed by Doctor Alonzo F. Myers, President of the
Eastern-States Association of Professional Schools for Teachers
held at Columbia University, New York City, Monday, May 25, 1936.
The members of the committee present at the meeting were Doctor
Townsend, Doctor Wood, Doctor Russell, Doctor Welte, Doctor Tall,
Doctor Myers, Doctor Morris, and Henry Klonower.
The committee discussed a testing program for teacher
education institutions. As a result of the discussion the
following recommendations were adopted:
1.
That the members of the committee give a
statement to the chairman of their own conception of what a five-year program of this
committee of the Eastern-States Association
of Professional Schools for Teachers should
be, and that this individual report be submitted to the chairman as early as possible
in the summer.
-1081-
2.
That a questionnaire be submitted to the
Association members with an appropriate
letter to discover the present practice
in the field of educational and professional testing as a basis for the further
planning of our program. The chairman
asked Doctor Morris to prepare such a
questionnaire and Doctor Wood to prepare
the covering letter, the questionnaire
and letter to be submitted to the other
members of the committee upon receipt,
for their comments and criticism.
3.
That we should meet in the fall, presumably at some central location, to
discuss the implications of the several
programs submitted by the committee members, the committee members having
advanced copies of the submitted programs
before them for study.
•
4.
That on the basis of such a preliminary
investigation the committee formulate a
recommended program for presentation to
the Eastern States Association of Professional Schools for Teachers at its
spring session, 1937.
There remains nothing further to do since the matter
is to be presented to the Eastern-States Association of ProfesSubsional Schools for Teachers at its spring meeting in 1937.
sequent to this time, it will be the privilege of the Presidents
to decide whether they desire to participate in the program.
Respectfully submitted,
Henry Klonower
Secretary, Board of Presidents
On motion of Doctor Armstrong, seconded by Mr. Swope it
was vot ed that the report
be accepted as read.

Procurement of recording equipment
for S p ech Correction wor k
Doctor Steele described the difficulty of securing the
proper professional equipment through the Department of Property
and Supplies.
Doctor Rohrbach stated that the Purchasing Department
of the Department of Property and Supplies is willing to view
a demonstration of the type of machine in which Doctor Steele
and he are interested, provided other machines of similar type
are demonstrated at the same time.
Doctor Ade suggested that the Presidents write directly
to his office when requisitions for professional and technical
equipment are not filled as requested.
K.
Report of Faculty Conference Committee
Mr. Swope, Chairman of the Committee, submitted the
following report:
"REPORT OF THE FaCULTY CONFERENCE COMMITTEE
The committee appointed to study the advisability of holding a conference of the faculties of the State
Teachers Colleges considered various elements of the question.
The value of such a conference to develop mutual understanding
and appreciation of the problems confronting each institution
was recognized. A faculty conference would afford an opportunity
for broadened contacts and free discussion of vital problems of
teacher education. Without the proper encouragement of our
teachers to extend their outlook to encompass the present day
challenges of education, there is apt to grow in our institutions
a certain insulation of ideas and a smugness of thought curbing
progressive advance of teacher education. A faculty conference
would also make it possible to coordinate present fluid educational practices and theories in teacher education.
In short, a
purpose
of State
anew
the
to
define
faculty conference would tend
Teachers Colleges and to investigate modern viewpoints in teacher
education. Undoubtedly, this effort would prove mutually beneficial to each of our institutions. Further, it was the sense
of the committee that such a conference would receive the wholehearted support of the faculty groups concerned*
-1083-
Against the many advantages of holding
a conference, the committee could not ignore certain
questions of immediate importance. The time to plan
a conference is short and the money available is
scarce. As all phases of present-day living aid in
a state of flux and change, it is equally evident
that State Teachers Colleges are passing through a
definite transitional period. As a result, many of
the fundamental problems concerned with teacher
education are in a nebulous and undefined state. The
satisfactory solution of some of these questions
requires more than open discussion. Fundamental
changes in curricula, for instance, may require
legislation and may be dependent upon increased
appropriations of money.
Upon consideration of the various issues
involved in holding a faculty conference, the committee wishes to submit for your consideration and
discussion the following proposals:
Believing that college faculties should
1.
be encouraged to have more frequent and
intimate contact with public school problems,
the committee recommends that the faculty of
each institution be invited to attend the
Education Congress to be held on October 8th
and 9th in the Education Building, Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania. Plans for the satisfactory
operation of the college during the absence
of teachers are to be made by each president.
The committee recommends that a conference of the teacher college faculties
be arranged early for the year 1937-38.
It is thought important to study the time
and place of the meeting and to define its
purpose clearly.

Doctor Klonower stated that, since all members of the
staff who are on the instructional payroll should be on a thirtysix weeks basis, with the exception of the President, he had
written a letter to each member of the board advising him of the
change which should be made.
It was agreed that no salaries should be increased due to
this change but that the salary of each member of the staff who
is now on the fifty- two weeks basis should be divided as follows:
6/7 of the present salary for the thirty- six weeks, and 1/7 of
the present salary for the summer session.
If the instructor is
employed for the post-summer session, he will receive one- half of
the summer session.

E valuat i on_ of credits from State
Tea chers Co lleges for pre-professional pu rposes
Doctor Ross read the following paragraphs from a letter
he received from Edward A. Green, Registrar of the Philadelphia
College of Osteopathy:
-1085-
"Inasmuch as all admissions to this College,
for the purpose of preparing for the practice of
osteopathy in the State of Pennsylvania, must be
passed upon by the Pre-Professional Bureau of the
Pennsylvania Department of public Instruction, we
are compelled to make the above mentioned request.
This Bureau has refused to accept the credits from
any of the State Normal Colleges, and has required
that all such credits shall be evaluated by an
approved College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
"Personally, I quite agree with you that this
is a most circuitous route, but I do believe that
you will readily recognize my position and will,
therefore, take up the matter with the Bureau which
I have mentioned.
The Chairman of this Bureau is
Mr. James G. Pentz.
His office is in the State
Department of Public Instruction at Karrisburg,
Pennsylvania."
It was decided that Doctor Newpher and Mr. Pentz should
be asked to appear beforo the Board at its meeting in November to
clarify this matter.
C•
Ent ranc e^ re qui reme nt s to State
Teachers Co lleges
Doctor Llonower raised a question concerning the admission of a student to a State Teachers College who has fifteen
high school units and is not a teacher in-service.
It was brougnt out that the State Teachers Colleges
have no discretion in the matter. Not anyone may be admitted to
a State Teachers College unless such a person has completed an
approved four-year high school education, holds an equivalent
high school certificate issued by the Department of Public
Instruction, or has been a teacher or is a teacher in-service.

E
Program of the National Committee
for Mental Hygiene
Doctor Klonower read the following letter from the
National Committee for Mental Hygiene under date of August 31, 1936
"In 1955, the National Committee for Mental
Hygiene investigated the mental hygiene aspects of
-1086-
teacher training and selection.
It was found that
many teachers continue in the classroom after they
are known to be mentally disordered and many more
are teaching whose mental ill health, though less
severe, is incompatible with good teaching.
Often
the retirement of such teachers is obstructed by
political and other interferences.
"Some of these teachers have been in poor mental
health since their student days when careful selection
might have given them the advantage of earlier treatment or of choosing another career less hazardous to
themselves and to growing children.
"Since the proper selection of students to develop
into mentally healthy teachers is crucial, the National
Committee for Mental Hygiene is centering its attention
on that point.
It is the hope that eventually we may
have better criteria of selection of students for training as teachers, and that we ray be able to remove some
of the obstacles to the use of these criteria, political
interference, pressure for large enrollment, concealing
the facts about applicatants, etc.
The National Committee for Mental Hygiene can, of course, not create or
define these criteria.
It can encourage effort in this
direction, act as an intermediary and clearing house for
information, and expose the obstacles to good selection.
The colleges and normal schools are the laboratories
where new ways will be found. Insofar as our present
gross criteria are applied diligently, the refinements
of selection will follow.
"The National Committee for Mental Hygiene would
like to bring together and lend its sanction to those
schools that are interested in taking active steps in
the refinement of selection.
It is hereby inviting
such schools as may wish to enter into the project, to
formulate a practical experiment in some phase of selection which it can pursue diligently and continuously.
The National Committee for Mental Hygiene as its part
will give expressed sanction to those scnools that participate, will secure helpful criticism for the guidance
of such studies, will bring related studies into mutual
contact or collaboration, and will attempt to bring the
results to practical use. Will you not let us have a
letter expressing what you as a school are in a position
to work on? This may have to do with the preliminary
investigation of applicants, with their examination for
admission, their follow-up after acceptance, with the
obstacles to the use of what you already know to do, or
any other phase that may appeal to you as important."
-1087-
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor P.iemer it
was voted that this matter be referred to the Committee on
Entrance Requirements for study.

Regulations pe rta ini ng to the
opera tio n of 16 mm proj ecti ng
machines
Doctor Klonower read the following letter received by
Doctor Ade under date of September 9, 1936 from Honorable Ralph
M. Bashore, Secretary of Labor and Industry:
"In reply to your letter of September 3,
in which you request certain information relative
to the operation of 16 ram projection machines,
our regulations governing the operation of motion
picture projectors provide that all persons who
operate projectors must either secure a license
or registration card which is issued by this
Department
"Due to the extensive use of 16 ram projectors for classroom instruction purposes, our
regulations have been modified so as to permit
the issuance of a registration card covering
both silent and sound projectors. This registration card covers the operation of 16 mm projectors
with sound equipment for classroom instruction purposes only.
If a projector with sound equipment is
used for public exhibitions, the applicant must
successfully pass an examination before the license
card will be issued.
There is no fee charged for
the registration card for classroom instruction
purposes.
"These licenses and registration cards are
issued by the Buildings Division of this Department
from whom the applicants can secure the necessary
application forms and other information.
"We have issued registration cards to a
large nunber of pupils of the various state teachers
colleges who have taken a post-graduate course in
visual education.
"I am enclosing a copy of our Regulations
covering Motion Pictures."

Uni form i nterpretation of the words
"begin their pr ofessional ej^9i1j.^g n_
for teaching in the elementary
s chools sub segue nt_ to Januar y 1, 1937 "
Doctor Klonower stated that the interpretation has been that
a year of preparation indicates that a teacher has begun her preparation before January 1, 1937.
Doctor Ade suggested that it is matriculation in an approved
institution and suggested that perhaps one semester Flight be the
minimum.
On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Mr. Swope, it was
voted that the phrase "begin their professional education for
teaching in the elementary schools subsequent to January 1, 1937"
be given its strictest interpretation and that all students who
have completed any amount of preparation be allowed to qualify
for the State standard limited certificate on the basis of the
two-year requirement.

Report of the Ourricular Revision Committee

1.
A uniform table for reporting all
laboratory courses to the American
Association of Teachers Colleges
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision
Committee, submitted the following report of the Committee:
"Report of the Curriculum Revision Committee
Regarding: A Uniform Method of Computing Equivalence of
Recitation Periods in Reporting Teaching Loai
to the American Association of Teachers Colleges
Standard V
-
Teaching Load of Faculty.
The following teaching load shall be the maximum for a
teachers college or normal school faculty: 16 recitation periods
Equivalence
not exceeding 60 minutes each week or its equivalent.
shall be based upon the ratio of one class period to one and onehalf class periods in shop, laboratory work and physical education.
In the courses offered in the elementary, secondary, and the
special curriculum, the ratio between clock hours and semester hours for
different courses varies widely from the uniform two to one ratio
generally accepted for laboratory work.
Since there appears to be
variation in computing equivalence, this Committee recommends that the
following table be used for reporting faculty load to the American
Association of Teachers Colleges until Standard V quoted above is revised.

If a student pursuing any part of the basic two years for any
reason found himself unfit for teaching or is found to be unfit for
teaching, he could transfer to another institution with a minimum loss of
credit.
It was brought out that this revision should be put into effect
in the fall of 1937 and should be completed in sufficient time so that the
announcement could be made in the 1937 catalogs of the institutions.
Doctor Steele emphasized the fact that the proposal is not an
attempt to set up a junior college situation as such.
It is believed that
a more efficient and more productive type of professional education may be
given with a basic background of this type. The professional work of which
there is a very small amount compared ;dth the present two years is designed
to be of equal value to all citizens, yet particularly valuable to the
prospective teacher. The purpose is not to get into the liberal arts field
but to meet the criticism that there is an over-amount of professional
courses and a scarcity of content courses in the present set-up.
It v.as brought put that no modification in the law is required to
put this revision of the first two years of the curriculum into effect and
that the sole purpose of the revision is to present an enriched academic
background in the early period of teacher education. For that purpose
there is presented a curriculum that transfers some of the professional
courses to the last two years and transfers some of the academic and
cultural courses from the last two years to the first two years.
-1097-
Doctor Rowland raised a question as to whether the
Committee had thought of reducing the number of required courses
and increasing the number of elective courses in order to allow the
student greater freedom in the selection of courses of particular
interest.
Doctor Steele replied that the Committee had attempted to
avoid an approach to this problem that would come from the building
The Committee felt that in
up of demands from interested groups.
the sixty-four semester hours remaining in the last two years there
would be ample opportunity for the student to gradually enrich the
elective offerings.
Doctor Rowland asked whether there is going to be any
movement to modify the law which requires the State Teachers Colleges
to enroll only those students who sign an agreement to teach for two
years in Pennsylvania.
Doctor Klonower replied that the matter had been discussed
and that such a modification would be suggested at the next session
of the Legislature.
Doctor Steele again emphasized the fact that this modification in the law is not necessary to set up the proposed revision
since it is not the intention to set up a junior college situation.
However, such a modification would give the State Teachers Colleges
two years during which it could be determined whether the student is
fitted for the teaching profession.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Rowland it
was voted that the report be subjected to the most careful study by
the members of the Board and by the faculties of the institutions
and that a report in writing be made to the Committee not later than
December 10, the report from each institution to indicate suggested
changes in the set-up or raise questions concerning the proposed set-up.
Doctor Steele further suggested that the Committee would
like to emphasize the fact that, if suggested additions to the curriculum are made, suggestions also be made as to the courses to be
eliminated which would profitably make room for the additions.
Doctor Klonower stated that these two years must be studied
in connection with the remaining two years of the present four-year
curriculum.

The English- Speech Curriculum
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision
Committee presented the following report of the Committee:
"Report of the Curriculum Revision Committee
Regarding:
Speech Curriculum
The Curriculum Revision Committee believes that in certain areas
of the State there is need for an additional elective field to be
known as SPEECH, this field to be comparable to the elective fields
now offered in the secondary curriculum as English, Science,
Mathematics, Geography, etc.
Speech will be open as an elective field
-
first
-
to students pursuing the Secondary Curriculum to be administered on the same basis as existing
fields in this curriculum
second
-
to students in the Elementary Curriculum as free electives during the course of the curriculum
and/or subsequent to graduation. When a minimum of
18 semester hours of work in Speech has been completed,
holders of the college certificate valid in the
elementary field may have SPEECH added to the
certificate.

The Curriculum Committee recommends to the Beard of presidents:
1.
That an elective field in Speech as outlined above be
added to the curriculum.
2.
That authority to offer work in Speech may be given to
the State Teachers Colleges by the State Superintendent
on satisfactory evidence a.
That a demand for teachers in Speech exists
in the area served by the Teachers College
b.
That the facilities, equipment, and staff of
the College are adequate and competent to
carry on this work on a high degree of
efficiency. Proper preparation in the field
to be at least the Master's degree or its
equivalent in the fields of Speech or Dramatics,
such work to have been taken in a recognized
graduate school having special departments of
speech and dramatics.
The minimum equipment
shall include an audiometer and a speech
recording and reproducing instrument.

Respectfully submitted,
Curriculum Revision Committee

Q. A. W. Rohrbach
Henry Klonower
Robert M. Steele, Chairman"
November 20, 1936
Doctor Steele added that the Committee in formulating
this report had covered practically every such curriculum offered
in a State Teachers College and in such institutions as Northwestern
University, Michigan and Iowa universities.
Doctor Rowland raised a question as to whether there will
be a demand on the part of school districts for teachers equipped
with this preparation which would justify the expense of operating
such
.an
additional elective field.
It was trough t out that such a demand must exist before
the State Superintendent of Public Instruction would approve the
offering of this work in any institution.
Doctor Steele also stated that the Committee felt that
such a demand does exist.
Doctor Haas asked what the cost of the "minimum equipment"
would be.
be from
Doctor Rohrbach replied that the cost for equipment would
to $1000 plus one additional faculty member.
,;j80C
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Ross it -was
vote d that the report be studied carefully by each President and
their reactions sent to Doctor Steele by December 10 so that a further
report may be made at the next meeting of the Board.
6.
Rearrangement of the elective
fields for prospective secondary
school teacners
Doctor Steele stated that this item
docket because of the confusion in the minds
of education for the elective fields. It is
eighteen semester hours of work is the limit

-1101-
had been placed on the
of some as to the extent
the common feeling that
given in any subject in
The Committee recommended that the catalogues of the
State Teachers Colleges indicate the required courses in the several
fields as well as the elective opportunities; the fact should be
clearly developed in tne catalogues that although eighteen semester
hours are required as a major there are still eighteen hours to be
completed as required work for certification in the field. This
should be noted in the catalogues and the requirement indicated as
thirty- six semester hours rather than eighteen semester hours. This
same plan should be followed for all the other subjects in the.
secondary field.
The Committee recommends that the catalogues of the State
Teachers Colleges follow the following arrangement of courses offered
in the secondary curriculum:
1.
Courses required of all candidates for a degree
in the State Teachers Colleges
English
Social Studies
Science
18 s.h. * 18 s.h. electives « 56 s.h.
"
"
+ 18
electives = 30 "
12
"
+18 "
electives = 24 "

*For complete report see pages 1121-1122.
It was suggested that tne State Council of Education should
be asked to increase the certification requirements to conform with
the requirements for graduation.

Revision of the Health Education
Curriculum
Doctor Steele submitted the following report of the
Curricular Revision Committee:
"Report of the Curriculum Revision Committee
Regarding:
Adjustments and Changes in Speci al Curricula
Since the four year curriculum in Health and physical
Education was approved in 1928, certain changes in the thinking
and practice in this field have been recommended by the Department
of School Health and Physical Education of the National Education
Association and other accrediting agencies.
It seems wise to this committee, therefore, to suggest
to the Board of Presidents that the heads of the special departments
of Health and Physical Education together with the Presidents of the
institutions in which such a curriculum is offered, constitute a
committee to advise the Curriculum Revision Committee of the changes
needed.
-1102-
The Curriculum Revision Committee recommends that it be
authorized to report subsequently to the Board of presidents
changes agreed upon by the heads of the special departments and
the presidents of the colleges concerned in order that the
Health and Physical Education curriculum may be brought into line
with approved present practice.
Respectfully submitted,
November 20, 1956
Curriculum Revision Committee
T. T. Allen
Q,. A. W. Rohrbach
Henry Klonower
Robert M. Steele, Chairman"
On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Armstrong
unanimously vote d that the report be accepted for study by
the heads of the Departments and the Presidents and that' their
reactions be submitted to the Committee prior to the next meeting
it was
of the Board.
It was furtner suggested that Doctor Klonower call a
meeting of the Heads of the Departments of Health Education and the
Presidents of the institutions in which this special curriculum is
offered.
Doctor Rohrbach suggested that all special curricula be
studied in this way.
8.
Quality Point System and
Periods
Test-
Doctor Steele submitted the following report for the
Curricular Revision Committee;
"Report of the Curriculum Revision Committee
Regarding:
Quality P oi nt Systems, Test Periods, etc
.
Following an informal discussion at the last meeting of the
Board of Presidents, an inquiry was sent to the members of the Board
requesting certain information regarding the grading systems in use,
the test periods, and specific scholarship requirements for student
teaching, secondary majors, et cetera. A tabulation of the information secured is furnished herewith.
The Curriculum Committee calls attention to extracts from
Section 2005 of the School Laws:
-1105-
'The Board of Presidents of the State Teachers
Colleges shall consist of the presidents of the
several colleges and the Superintendent of Public
Instruction
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 shall, when approved by
the Superintendent of Public Instruction, be
binding upon all of the colleges.'
.
.
In view of the extent to which quality point systems or
other specific scholastic requirements are used in the various
Teachers Colleges, and further in view of the questions raise:!
regarding the legality of such individual requirements, the
Curriculum Revision Committee recommends to the Board a careful
study of rating systems based on objective tests.
It recommends further, with the purpose of guaranteeing
a minimum quality of instruction in the various courses, that
the Board study the possibilities of developing uniform objective
tests which may be used to supplement tests now in use.
The Committee recommends that experimental work in
preparing such uniform tests begin with two subjects, one
professional and one academic, and the Committee requests the
authority of the Board to proceed with this work.
respectfully submitted,
Curriculum Revision Committee

In connection with the discussion of tests, Doctor Klonower

Report of committee re "recogni tion
by the Mid d e States Associat ion "
Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the Committee, submitted the
following report:
"Report of the Committee on Recognition of the
State Teachers Colleges by the Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Middle States
and Maryland
to
The Board of Presidents
November £1, 1936
Gentlemen:
As previously reported to you, the special committee
appointed by the Association to set up standards for accreditment for the State Teachers Colleges, will meet prior to the
annual meeting of the Association following Thanksgiving, and
will report to the annual meeting, presumably presenting .the
standards submitted to this Board by the committee at a
previous meeting.
At that time it was suggested that your chairman secure
from each of the presidents a judgment of the application of
Standard V to his institution.
Standard V, it will be
remembered, deals v.ith the size, preparation and teaching load
of the faculty and suggests for a college of approximately 100
students in a single curriculum a faculty of at least 8 with a
corresponding increase in faculty for an increase in student
body.
It further suggests that the members of the faculty of
professorial rank should have at least two years of post
graduate study in tneir respective fields pursued in a recognized
graduate school; and finally that the teaching schedules should
,
-1108-
not exceed 16 hours per ueek per instructor and that classes of
more than 30 students be interpreted as endangering educational
efficiency.
The following is a table indicating the status of the
State Teachers Colleges with reference to these standards:

Adjustme nt of cooperative
teacher r e imburs ement for
t e bienn i rn, 1937-59
Doctor Miller, Chairman of the Budget Committee, submitted
the following report for the Committee:
"Report of the Budget Committee
The Budget Committee recommends that a change be made in the
method of payment of cooperative teachers effective the beginning of
the next biennium.
The Committee recommends that all cooperative
teachers be paid on the basis of a unit of service as follows:
1.
A unit of servi3e is to be interpreted
as the assignment of one student teacher
per cooperative teacher for one period a
day for one semester.
2.
That cooperative teachers shall be paid an
initial salary of $25 per unit of service
wi,th increments of $5 per year until a
maximum of ^50 per unit is reached.
The
salaries of present cooperative teachers
will be adjusted on the basis of past
experience a^s. cooperative teachers within
the institution.

Q,.
C. S. Miller, Chairman"
November 20, 1936
Doctor Rowland stated he had taKen the matter up with
his cooperative teacners and that they had two principal objections
to the plan; first, that there is no provision for increments
based on advanced preparation, and second, that the amount of $25
per unit of service is inadequate.
There was considerable discussion concerning the definition
of the "unit of service" and there appeared to be considerable lack
of uniformity in the interpretation of this definition.
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Rowland it
was voted that the report be referred back to the Budfeet Committee
for furtner clarification and report at the next meeting of the
Board.
Doctor Rowland emphasized the fact that there are two
factors which should seriously be considered before putting such
a plan into effect; first, the good will of the community and
second, tne relationship of professional growth to the increments
of salary.

Doctor Klonower read a Memorandum of Agreement and
warrant of Attorney to Confess Judgment suggested by Mr. Scarl as
a solution of the problem.
It was brought out that no such stringent methods should be
necessary since the Fee Schedule provides that all fees must be paid
in advance and, in cases v;here the student is allov/ed to continue for
a time without the payment of fees, unless payment is made within a
reasonable time he is dropped from the school.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Hill it was
voted that the matter be referred to the Fee Committee for study.

Doctor Klonower stated that this question grew out of the
study made sometime ago where it was brought out that only fifty
per cent of the stuaents in the State Teachers Colleges had had
previous training in music before entering the institutions, although
the School Code specifically provides for the teaching of music and
art as subjects of the elementary curriculum.
Doctor Haas suggested that a prerequisite might be set up
which would allow only those students who had had these subjects in
the elementary or high school to enter the State Teachers Colleges.
Doctor Ade suggested that Doctor Klonower gather the facts
in the matter and present them before the Administrative Council of
the Department of Public Instruction to see what the Department could
do to help.
On motion of Doctor Tanger, seconded by Doctor Miller it
was voted that the matter be referred to the Committee on Entrance
Requirements for study.
Doctor Rowland stated that a prerequisite as suggested by
Doctor Haas would enforce the demands of the Department of Public
Instruction

S ervice area in-service t eacher
education and supervisors
Doctor Cressman, Director of the Bureau of Instruction,
appeared before the Board to present an experimental program for
the improvement of instruction in the secondary schools.
In this
program the State Teachers Colleges ,»ould cooperate with the
Bureau of Instruction by furnishing specialists in the various
subject fields to go into the high schools as "visitors." These
persons might spend a full day going over the high school and, at the
the end of the day, meet the high school teacher of the particular
subject and go over problems with him.
The reports of the persons
acting as "visitors" from the Bureau of Instruction and from the
State Teachers College in the service area of the high school
would then be combined and sent to the high school.
r
a discussion of the expenses involved on the part of
these instructors in the State Teachers colleges brought out
the fact that such expenses should be borne by the high school
which invites the instructor to visit the school.
Doctor hlonower stated that a detailed statement of
the program would be prepared by Doctor Cressman and distributed
to each member of the Board for study and that the item would be
continued on the docket for the next meeting of the Board in
January
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Tanger
it was voted that such a specific statement be furnished to each
President for nis reaction.

Doctor Cressman stated that the law does not provide

there is ^900,000 which is available for "occupations."
Doctor Klonower raised a question concerning the
availability of money for nursery school situations.
Doctor Cressman stated that the funds could not be
used to cover nursery school situations.
Doctor Ross raised a question concerning the establishment of a curriculum in agricultural education.
Doctor Klonower stated that there is only one
institution in Pennsylvania approved for this field and that
is the Pennsylvania State College.
It was brought out that these subsidies could be
used only in part payment of teachers' salaries and would not
provide for equipment.

and Mr. McClure and
he had been appointed by the Association of

Trustees of the Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges as a
committee to prepare a simple statement concerning the fiscal
affairs of the State Teachers Colleges.
He stated that the Committee wished to report progress
and expressed the desire that the item be continued on the docket.
On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Steele
it was voted that the report of the committee be accepted.
K.
The development of cooperative film
libraries in the State Teachers Colleges
Doctor Klonov.er stated that a letter had been sent to
each President with reference to the development of cooperative
film libraries in response to a request of the United States
Office of Education for a composite report on this phase of
activities in the State Teachers Colleges. He stated that it is
thought that Pennsylvania might be designated as the model state
in this matter and that some help in the form of films might be
available from the Office of Education.
Doctor Miller suggested that Doctor Rowland send a copy
of his report to Doctor Klonower to each President for his guidance.
Doctor Fausold suggested that the Presidents might request
that sound films be purchased by the State Library to supplement the
programs developed in the State Teachers Colleges.

Mr. Wagner opened the meeting ftith a short address of welcome.
1.
Evaluation criteria in connection with students who completed the
first two years of the four-year curriculum in elementary education
and then desire to return to complete the requirements for secondary
certification.
Dean Menhennett suggested that it is the present general
practice to require those wno complete the first two years
of the four-year curriculum in elementary education and
then desire to transfer to a secondary curriculum to complete all of the remaining courses in the secondary
curriculum as set up by the Board of Presidents of tne
State Teachers Colleges. He suggested, however, that
something should be done along the same line as is now
the practice in connection with the extension of a
secondary certificate to include teaching in the elementary
grades.
Mr. Bowiban explained that under an old Department ruling, the
holder of a normal school certificate or diploma who has earned
his college degree, is credited with the fulfillment of the
requirements in professional education and student teaching for
the provisional college certificate to teach high school subjects.
Dean Sutliff stated that it was a practice in his institution to
regard holders of a degree in elementary education with, six
semester hours in secondary education, six semester hours of
student teaching in the secondary field and eighteen semester
hours in a particular subject field qualified to teach the subject.
Dean Belknap raised the question as to the status of credit for
student teaching completed years ago when the present institutions
were state normal schools. Particularly, would such teaching be
granted secondary credit provided the work was done above the
sixth grade? Reply was made by Mr. Bowman ta the effect that it
was the practice to grant full credit for such student teaching.
Another point presented by Dean Sutliff refers specifically to the
cases of young people who have completed two years and then for
economic reasons must drop out of college. These students come
back to the institution for summer school or Saturday classes and
wish to earn all possible credits toward a degree in the secondary
field and yet meet the twelve semester hours for the renewal of
the state standard limited certificates they hold.
In b*4ef they
are trying to remain in service in the elementary field with the
thought of earning sufficient money gradually to complete the
requirements for a degree in secondary education. The discussion
that followed pointed clearly to the fact that regardless of the
motive of the student there was no way whereby the regulations of
the state Council of Education could be waived with respect to
offering a preparation for renewal purposes other than through
courses that would originally be approved for meeting the requirements for a degree in elementary education.
,
Mr. Wagner stated that considerable difficulty was being experienced
with the administration of the renewal requirements for a state
standard limited certificate. Even though considerable thought was
given to the general plan for the renewal of such certificates at
the time the new requirements were announced, and a continuous
effort has been made ever since to acquaint students with such
requirements, there are still many applicants who seem to understand
that it is simply a matter of completing twelve additional semester
hours in any field in order to meet the requirements.
It is obvious
that when a transcript is offered representing the completion of
twelve hours of college work that has little relation to elementary
certification, that embarrassing problems will result. He urged the
-2-
Deans to bring to the attention of students the information that in the selection of the courses for renewal purposes
such courses should be chosen from the third year in a
standard elementary curriculum and then from the fourth
year or in such combination of the third and fourth years
as will be easily administered by the respective institution.
Dean Wheatly asked whether an applicant who has completed
eighty semester hours before beginning to teach would be
credited with tvtelve semester hours for a first renewal,
He stated further
Mr, Wagner answered in the affirmative.
that three-year people are credited toward renewals until
their credits are exhausted.
11.
Credit for Teaching experience under the action of the Board of Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges, as of May 30, 1936.
A few of the Deans reported projects under way which have
been organized in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of the action of the Board of Presidents of May 20,
1936.
There did not seem to be sufficient experience, however, to draw any definite conclusions as to the degree of
success that will attend the plan.
The discussion under this item centered mostly in the problem
controlling the number of hours in student teaching or in any
other field that would be accepted during a single semester.
Since most of the applicants offering substitute plans to
meet the student teaching requirement are rather mature and
are teachers- in- service, there is a temptation to try to
remove this particular requirement in the shortest possible
The teachers colleges are in a position to control the
time.
situation but it seems to be the experience of a number of these
institutions that when certain teachers- in-service are not
able to accomplish their ends through the completion of more
than six semester hours a semester, they apply to other institutions where a more sympathetic view is taken of their problem.
In a checking over of the position taken by the group present
it was found that in general they all adhere strictly to the
per semester standard*
In a few instances the institution
was willing to permit seven semester hours if such resulted
in completing iaf full the requirements for certification.
III. Principles governing the use of substitute courses, particularly as
applied to admissions on transfer from other institutions.
a.
All courses used for credit when transferring from
another institution to a State Teachers College
shall be from properly accredited institutions only.
-3-
b.
Courses generally similar in character shall be
accepted to the extent of the value given in
the curriculum in the State Teachers College.
c.
Credit shall be granted hour for hour for closelyrelated courses. For example, a course in advanced
physics completed in a non- State Teachers College
may be accepted for the same number of hours in an
appropriate course in a State Teachers College.
Mr. VTagner stated that in all cases of applicants who completed the normal school work some years ago credit for only
one course in psychology was given. He took this position
for the reason that graduates from a State Teachers College
today should have a modern viewpoint in the field of
psychology. He stated further that there was frequently a
question as to the wisdom of accepting School Management as
Since the latter
a substitute for Introduction to Teaching.
course as is given today is so rich in its content with
respect to meeting modern classroom practice, there was
doubt in his mind about accepting the course in School
Management of some years agoi
IV.
Problems associated with the administration of the Post-Session.
Each Dean reported rather fully his experience with the
administration of the Post-Session. It was the general
opinion of those present that the intensive courses given
during the three weeks of the Post-Session, with three
semester hours of credit, had higher qualitative value than
when given for the same amount of credit during a regular
semester.
Dean Dilworth suggested that the chief problem met in his
institution was the matter of sufficient money to operate
on a satisfactory basis.
No class was permitted to be
organized unless there was a minimum of ten students. This
statement was supplemented by President Rowland who reported
that it was his understanding that in one institution at
least ten people were grouped in one class but were taking
five different courses at the same time under the same
instructor.
It was also stated by him that the Board of
Presidents has taken the position that the summer school is
a part of the total instructional service and financially
may cost more than the revenue derived.
The meeting was now adjourned until one o'clock.
V.
Proper sequence in connection with the twelve semester hours required
to renew a State Standard Limited Certificate,
A number of problems are arising in connection with the
carrying out of the requirements of the State Council of
Education with respect to the twelve semester hours required
-4-
Summing up the various opinions
to renew the certificate.
of the Deans it seemed to be the general feeling that it will
not be possible to adhere strictly to the letter of the
regulations with respect to each applicant placing on file a
certified statement that the twelve semester hours offered
are part of the third and fourth years, respectively, of an
approved degree curriculum in elementary education. In other
words, it was felt that the administration of this provision of
the regulations would have to be to a great degree a matter of
judgment. With all the publicity that has thus far been given
to the conditions on which such a certificate will be initially
issued and subsequently renewed, the great majority of applicants do not seem to have grasped in full the significance of
It was therefore concluded that until more
the regulation.
experience is available on the working out of this certificate,
the matter of judgment will have to play the leading role.
Dean Naegle reported that there is evidence almost every day in
his institution that the students are expecting to be more
restricted in the matter of choosing courses. More and more
they are inquiring whether or not certain courses will be
accepted toward a degree in the particular curriculum in which
they are interested.
Dean Sutliff suggested that it would be a good plan for all
institutions to include in their latest catalogue a statement
with respect to the revised regulations governing the issue of
a state standard limited certificate, effective as of January 1,
1937.
VI.
The normal school certificate as a basis for meeting student teaching in
the secondary field.
On the basis of an interpretation made by the Teacher Bureau,
January 21, 1924, a normal school graduate is credited with
the fulfillment of the twelve semester hours in professional
education and six semester hours in student teaching required
for the provisional college certificate.
This is a general
practice which it was felt should be modified. It was the
opinion of Mr. Bowman that a normal school graduate who has
completed six semester hours in student teaching in grades
above the sixth should be credited with the fulfillment of
the student teaching required for the provisional college certificate to teach high school subjects. Normal school graduates
who have not had this required student teaching should be required
to complete an additional course in this field to qualify for the
college certificate to teach high school subjects. It is understood, of course, that actual teaching experience in grades above
-5-
the sixth may he accepted in discharge of the student teaching
required for the college certificate to teach high school
subjects.
The difficulty that arises in following some such practice
as suggested above, is that the records of normal school
graduates in the Registrar's office do not indicate in what
grades a graduate completed his student teaching,
VII.
Minimum requirements for adding specific high school subjects to a
secondary certificate.
In the opinion of Mr. Bowman the present practice of adding
high school subjects has certain weaknesses which should be
corrected. For example, it is possible to obtain certification to teach physics with as little as three semester hours
in physics.
To correct this difficulty a differential between
the minimum requirements in different subject fields should be
made. For example, physical science could be added to a
college certificate on a minimum of eighteen semester hours in
physical science including at least six semester hours in
chemistry and six semester hours in physics, and biological
science on the same minimum requirement including at least six
semester hours in botany and six semester hours in zoology.
Blanket certification to teach science would be added to a
college certificate on a minimum of thirty semester hours of
college preparation in the subject including certain prescribed
minimums.
Also, certification in the field of social studies is frequently
the basis of misunderstanding. Mr. Bowman stated that in few
instances certain courses have been used to satisfy both the
history and the social science requirements for a blanket certification in the field of social studies. There must be a
minimum, however, of nine semester hours in history and nine
semester hours in social science. Twelve semester hours in
social science and six semester hours in history will not
satisfy the requirement.
VIII.
How can the Teacher Education and Certification Office be more helpful
to Deans of Instruction?
In the opinion of Dean Sutliff one of the best services rendered
by the Teacher Education Office is in the matter of making final
decisions with respect to individual cases.
Such decisions
coming from a single source strengthens the seojyice.
Dean Belknap contrasted the type of service received from the
Pennsylvania Department -of Education with that of other states.
Mr, Wagner stated that it was a policy of the office to send
-6-
v:r;.
to the institutions a carbon copy of all correspondence
initiated by students in the several institutions who were
not satisfied with decisions made in the local office.
IX.
Some problems in connection with an increasing trend in the direction
of a more selective admission requirement.
Among the items discussed were the problems of the limitation
of enrollment as related to the scholastically poor student,
the problem of crippled applicants who are otherwise very good
students, and the personality problem.
Dean Dilworth raised
the question as to whether or not an institution may refuse to
accept a perfectly normal student who has a high school certificate.
X.
Miscellaneous problems to be presented by individual Deans*
Dean Wheatly asked whether Technique of Teaching is a required
course.
Some bulletins, he stated, do not list it as such.
The answer was that the course is required %
Dean Sutliff stated that the secondary students teach the
entire year and once a week have technique work given by
the instructor who supervises their daily work.
Dean Menhennett added that the supervisor for teaching checks
all technique.
Dean McClelland brought to the attention of the meeting a problem
in connection with the four semester-hour course in the Philosophy
of Education. He stated that it included a good bit of theory
that is crammed for in order to pass an examination and then
quickly disappears. Also, he raised the question about the twohour provision for a course in Tests and Measurements, the time
being entirely too limited to give the student any satisfactory
compensation of the subject. He suggested that these problems
should be brought to the attention of the Curricular Revision
Committee of the Board of Presidents.
Dean Wheatly asked whether a provisional college certificate
in the secondary field could be made permanent by the addition
of elementary subjects with no other six hours of preparation,
The reply was made by Mr. Bowman that such could be done.
If
the six additional hours of work were completed subsequent to
the granting of the baccalaureate degree, the requirements for
permanent certification would be satisfied,
The meeting was formally adjourned at three o'clock.

"Report of the Curriculum Revision Committee
Regarding: - SPEECH CURRICULUM
The Curriculum Revision Committee believes that in
certain areas of the State there is need for an additional
elective field to be knov.n as SPEECH, this field to be comparable
to the elective fields now offered in the secondary curriculum as
English, Science, Mathematics, Geography, etc.
Speech should be open as an elective field
-
first - to students pursuing the Secondary
Curriculum to be administered on the same basis
as existing fields in this curri culum;
second
-
to students in the Elementary Curriculum as free electives during the course of
the curriculum and/or subsequent to
graduation. When a minimum of 18 semester
hours of work in Speech has been completed,
holders of a college certificate valid in
the elementary field may have SPEECH added
to the certificate.

1.
Revision of Curriculum
2.
Unifo rmity in the three years of
education for a State Standard
Limited Certificate
3.
The content and arrangement of the
fourth year of the elementary curriculum for students who have
secured the State Standard Limited
Certificate on a three year basis
and have had teaching experience
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision
Committee, submitted for discussion a report covering the basio
two years of the curriculum, the last two years of the elementary
curriculum and the last two years of the secondary curriculum.
It was brought out that the amount of professional work
in the curriculum should be gradually increased from, perhaps, one
course in the first year to practically entirely professional
courses in the last semester of the last year.
Doctor Rowland suggested the desirability of the basic
two years of education for many students v/ho decide upon graduation
from high school to enter the teaching profession, and who, after a
course of time, may find that their choice was unwise. Since the
work of the first two years could be used for other purposes, the
time spent in a State Teachers College by such students would not
be lost.
Doctor Ade brought out the fact that this suggested
revision of the curriculum is formulated in terms of the fact that
the State Teachers Colleges will receive about the same amount of
money as they received during the last biennium. At any time that
additional money is received, the State Teachers Colleges could
then provide for large groups of students who are not especially
headed for the teaching profession.
-1126-
Doctor Allen stated that it would cost no more to
administer the sixty-eight semester hours in the revised two
years of the curriculum than it would to administer the sixtyeight semester hours in the present first two years of the
curriculum.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor
Steele it was unanimously voted that each President express
his reaction to the curriculum as presented, that the Curricular
Revision Committee give consideration to all suggestions during
the period of adjournment for luncheon, and that a revised report
be submitted when the Board reconvenes for the afternoon session.
The Board adjourned for luncheon at 12:15 and reconvened at 1:30 o'clock.
Doctor Steele stated that the committee had considered
all the suggestions made around the Board and desires to present
the following revised report, which it is believed will meet in
spirit most of the suggestions and criticisms which were made:

Mr. Swope raised certain questions with reference to the
inclusion of the course in Principles of Geography and pointed out
certain facts with reference to the number of English courses prescribed.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Haas it was
voted that the report be adopted.
Mr.
Swope voted "no".
On motion of Doctor Ro7/land, seconded by Doctor Haas it was
unanimously voted that the recommendation requiring each student to
carry an extra-curricular activity during one semester of each year
be modified as follows:
All students are required to take part,
without credit, in one physical education
activity each semester in which no physical
education courses or student teaching are
required; and one other extra-curricular
activity one semester each year.
-1130-
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular rtevision
Committee, presented the following recommendation;
"The Curricular Revision Committee requests
authority of this Board to act for the Board of
State Teachers College Presidents in approving
the required and elective courses in the FourYear Special Curriculums, such curriculums to
be worked out with the President of institutions
and heads of special curriculums concerned.
The Committee also requests authority to prepare
lists of required and elective courses in
secondary subject fields for publication in the
catalogs.
It is understood that these lists
will be developed from lists prepared by the
subject instructors in each college and submitted
T»y the President of each teachers college to this
Committee."
Doctor Steele stated that the elective offerings should
not be quite as narrow as they had been in the past.
In the social
science field, the list should include those courses that are
required in the curriculum, those additional courses which the
instructors concerned with the social science field think are
essential, and additional courses more than would be needed in any
one institution.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Ross it was
voted that the recommendation be adopted.
Doctor Steele presented the following report of the
Curricular Revision Committee;
"THE CURRICULUM
REVISION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS:
1.
That each student shall present as a requirement for
graduation from the Secondary Curriculum, at least
two subject fields for certification,
one of which
shall consist of not less than twenty- four semester
hours.
2.
That all courses carried in any subject matter field
shall be counted toward certification.
-1131-
3.
That the Board of Teachers College Presidents request
the State Council of Education to consider raising,
as soon as possible, the present eighteen semester
hour certification requirement in every subject
matter field to twenty-f our semester hours.
Respectfully submitted,
T. T.

It was brought out that at the present time the students
in the State Teachers Colleges complete many more than the eighteen
semester hours of credit now required for certification. In
addition to the required courses in the curriculum which are not
counted toward graduation and certification, the student must complete the full eighteen semester hours required for certification.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Tanger it
was unanimously voted that the recommendation be adopted.

Salary Adjustments
Doctor Miller, Chairman of the Budget Committee, stated
that Doctor Haas wished to present a report of the sub-committee
on salary adjustments.
Doctor Haas submitted the following report:
"REPORT 01 SALARY ADJUSTMENT COMMITTEE'
The Salary Adjustment Committee presents, respectfully, the
following report for the consideration of the Board of Presidents
relative to the matter of adjusting the salaries of the present
instructional force in order to remove present inequalities of
salaries.
A review of the cases submitted by the various Presidents appears
to justify the consideration of two groups:
first, those who
were below th^ minimum to which they were entitled by training,
experience, and service within the institution at the time the
automatic operation of the Salary Schedule was suspended and
second, those who since the time the automatic operation of the
Salary Schedule was suspended have been transferred to a type of
service within the institution which justifies a higher salary
than the work of the position from which the transfer was made.
-1135-
The Committee recommends that the Superintendent of Fublic
Instruction approve increases in accordance with the policies
stated above, provided the money is now available in the
budget of the institutions concerned for this purpose.
Respectfully submitted,
Miller

Doctor Rowland asked whether this recommendation would
cover the cases of persons who were added to the faculties subsequent to the "freezing" of the Salary Schedule at a point below
that to which they were entitled.
Doctor Haas answered that the recommendation would
cover such cases. He added that it covers all cases which the
committee felt were special cases, but does not approve them.
Doctor Reimer raised a question as to whether an adjusted
salary would be adjusted back to September or adjusted from the
present time.
It was decided that this is a matter for the Superintendent
to decide.
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Reimer it was
unanimously voted that the report be accepted and that the* Superintendent of Public Instruction be requested to approve special cases
covered by the report.

Adjustment of cooperative teache r
reimbursement for the bienniunl, 1937-3 9
Doctor Miller, Chairman of the Budget Committee, submitted
the following report for the committee:
-1136-
"REPORT OF THE BUDGET COMMITTEE
Re:
The paying of cooperative teachers,
January 15, 1937
The Budget Committee recommends the adoption of the
following plan for the paying of Cooperative Teachers:
1.
A unit of service is the amount of service
required from a cooperative teacher in order
that a student may naeet the practice teaching
requirements of a four year curriculum.
Cooperative teachers shall be paid on
initial salary of $50 per unit of service.
Those holding a Bachelor's degree shall be
entitled to an increment of five dollars
($5.00) per year per unit of service until
a maximum of seventy-five dollars ($75.00)
is reached.
Those holding a Master's degree
shall be entitled to an increment of ten
dollars ($10.00) per year per unit of
service until a maximum of one hundred dollars
($100.00) per unit is reached.
2.
3.
The salaries of present cooperative teachers
may be adjusted on the basis of past experience
as cooperative teachers within the institution.
Respectfully submitted,
W. Rohrbach
Carmon Ross
T. T. Allen
Francis B. Haas
C. S. Miller, Chairman"
Q. A.
Mr. Swope asked what happens to those cooperative teachers
who hold no degree.
Doctor Miller replied that those teachers would be paid
a salary of $50.00 per unit of service, but would receive no
increments until a bachelor* s degree had been earned.
-1137-
Doctor Allen raised a question as to whether this matter
would have to be referred to the Executive Board for approval.
Doctor Haas stated that, if the salaries provided in the
plan are below the present approved Salary Schedule, he felt that
the change could be made without presenting the matter to the
Executive Board.
Doctor Fausold stated that some of his salaries for
cooperative teachers range from $1700 to &2950 and that he felt
that this plan for payment of cooperative teachers would work a
great hardship in his institution. He felt that salaries should
be leveled up rather than leveled down.
Doctor Haas stated that the schedule in effect at Indiana
is the same schedule under which all the institutions are operated.
The schedule provided that cooperative teachers should be paid $100
per year with an increment of ^100 per year. He adied that most of
the institutions cannot support such a schedule.
.
Doctor Fausold stated that he felt that this proposed
schedule would work out for some schools and for some areas, but
not for all areas. He added that the cooperative teachers in
Indiana Borough are practically the same as campus training
teachers and are expected to render service to the institution
in addition to the service rendered by cooperative teachers in
other school districts.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Tanger
voted that the report be laid on the table for discussion
at some future time.
it was
Doctor Allen asked if the solution might not be the
addition of a fourth paragraph to the report to the effect that
the plan shall not be retroactive.
Doctor Haas stated that, in his opinion, we have two typas
of situations.
There are situations in which the institution has
taken over a part of the town schools. The teachers in such schools
are not cooperative in the general sense.

Ranking of faculty members
Doctor Miller presented the following report of the Budget
Committee:
-1138-
"REFORT OF THE BUDGET COIvMITTEE
The ranking of faculty members
Re:
January 15, 1937
The Budget Committee has considered carefully the question of
ranking of faculty members.
Such a plan will serve to prevent too large
instructors
a number of
from reaching the maximum salary and at the same
time, will offer the opportunity for professional advancement within the
institution. The committee, therefore, presents the following suggestions for your further consideration, with the idea that they will be
studied carefully by each President and acted upon at the next meeting
of the Board:
Each institution shall be entitled to a minimum
of eight full professorships.
The number with rank
of professors on a State Teachers College faculty
shall not exceed 25? of the total number of faculty
employed.
Each full time professor shall be entitled
to the salary as set up in Class I, providing he holds
the Doctor's degree and his educational qualifications
and experience entitle him to such salary classification.
1.
2.
The title of assistant professor shall be used to
designate those faculty members whose minimum educational qualifications and experience are such as to
entitle them to Class II of the classification schedule.
A classification known as instructor shall include
those whose educational training and experience shall
be at least the minimum required for Class III in the
salary classification schedule.
Such number shall not
exceed 15$ of the total number of faculty.

E xchange teachers in student

Doctor Tanger stated that he had brought up the subject
of exchange teachers in the student teaching field. He stated
that he had an opportunity to exchange one of his instructors for
a teacher from Scotland who had had no experience in the public
schools.
It was pointed out that since this requirement was a
part of the Salary Schedule approved by the Executive Board, the
exchange could not be made, unless the requirements of the
Salary Schedule were changed by the Executive Board.
While interest and sympathy were expressed for the
idea, it was felt that, perhaps, the experiments should be tried
in institutions other than the State Teachers Colleges until
some future time when the program could be considered again.

Budgets
1937-59
-
Doctor Marion K. McKay, Financial Consultant of the
Department of Public Instruction, appeared before the Board to
advise the Presidents that the budgets now stand as they were
submitted and that the budgets, when passed through the Department, provided for the restoration of salaries to the instructors in the State Teachers Colleges.

Calendar
-
1957-38
Doctor Ross raised a question as to whether it would
be possible to open the college on the 14th of September rather
than September 7, 1957. He added that his reason for wishing to
do this was due to the late opening of the Erie Schools.
Doctor Haas, Chairman of the committee re ''Calendar",
stated that the uniform calendar had been adopted for the year
1937-38. He pointed out that one reason for the uniform calendar
was to make sure that each institution closed before May 31, the
end of the fiscal year.
It was decided that this problem should be referred to
the Calendar Committee for next year.
Doctor Haas called attention to an error in the Calendar
for 1937-38. The date for the beginning of the Christmas Recess
should be Wednesday, December 22, 1937, rather than Wednesday,
December 21, 1937.
-1142-
The Board adjourned at 3:50 o'clock.
Approved:

Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision
Committee, stated that he had not received reactions from the
members of the Board on the report which was presented to the
Board for consideration at the meeting held November 20, 1936.

made to note the variation in the distribution of marks recorded
He stated
for attainment of students within the institutions.
that such a study had been prepared in the office of Teacher

It was pointed out that a "D" in one institution might
mean a "B" in another.
Doctor Miller stated that he felt that this is one of
the problems in ranking standards for the institutions.
Doctor Rowland stated that he felt that there is danger
in overemphasizing the importance of high grades.
He added that
in the cooperative education group at the State Teachers College
at Shippensburg an experiment had been tried in grading students
only as "passing" or "failed."
Doctor Rohrbach suggested that a study be made of the
practice teaching marks in the State Teachers Colleges and the
liberal arts colleges.

On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Rowland
it was voted that Doctor Ross be requested by the Board to make
a study of the marking systems in the institutions and that in
this study the point be developed as to the number of students
who enter the freshman class and the number that graduate from
the curriculums.
Doctor Haas stated that he felt that, regardless of
the variation between institutions and individual teachers as
to grading, you have about the same percentage of graduation
from all the institutions.

On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Rowland it was
voted that the modification of the last two years of the elementary
curriculum known as the cooperative education program at the State
Teachers College, Shippensburg, be approved.
Doctor Steele then presented the following report of the
committee with reference to certain adjustments in the health education
curriculum which had been revised and approved before the final adoption
of the revised elementary and secondary curriculums, and also a report
covering the numbering of courses.
REPORT OF CURRICULUM REVISION COMMITTEE
Board of Presidents, State Teachers Colleges
Numbering of Courses
Inasmuch as in the new revision of our curricula there are a number of
subjects which appear in both first and second semesters under the same
titles such as English, Biological Science, Health Education and Physical
Science, the Committee recommends that these courses be numbered for the
purpose of reference and record keeping as follows:
English I
Biological Science
Health Education I
Physical Science I
I
English II
Biological Science II
Health Education II
Physical Science II
Health Education* Curriculum
Inasmuch as the Curriculum in Health and physical Education was adopted
at the same time as the basic two-year curriculum, the following minor
changes are recommended in order to bring it in line with that basic
curri culum:
1st Semester
"Library Science" should follow English
2nd Semester
The class hours of "Place and Purpose of Education in the
Social Order including School Visitation" should be changed
to read three clock hours instead of two clock hours.
This
would make a change in the total class hours for the second
semester from twenty-six to twenty-seven.
-1153-
5th Semeste r
The words "Economics or
;

6th Semester
After "Principles of Sociology" should be added the words
"or Principles of Economies."

Descriptive Astronomy should be omitted and the Elective in
that semester increased to a "4 - 4."

On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Haas it
was voted that the major areas of concentration in these fields be
approved.
It was decided that the statement, "The demonstration of
competency to pursue a major in any area will be required" should
appear as a part of each area of concentration.
It was brought out that this statement did not necessarily
mean that the student must demonstrate competency before electing a
major but that the student must demonstrate competency in the major
area of concentration before being allowed to compbte the field.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Haas it was
voted that the following report of the Curricular Revision Committee
be adopted:
"AREAS OP CONCENTRATION IN THE SECOND lRY FIELD
Each prospective teacher enrolled in the secondary curriculum
is required to complete one field of at least twenty-four semester hours
and at least one field of not fewer than eighteen semester hours.
As early as possible in the student's enrollment he must
demonstrate competence in the fields chosen before permission is granted
to complete requirements for certification."
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Allen it
was voted that the revised curriculum go into effect September 1,
1937 and that all students already enrolled be adjusted to the new
curriculum as far and as rapidly as possible.
Doctor Haas stated that it is highly desirable that the
Deans of Instruction in the contemplated meeting discuss the problem
of the adjustment of students to the now curriculum.
The Board adjourned for luncheon at 12:15 and reconvened at
1:30 o'clock.

On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Rowland it
was voted that Mr, McClure be asked to appear before the Board at a
later date to discuss his statement on principles for the allocation
of funds.
Doctor Miller, Chairman of tho Budget Committee, stated
that the committee is not entirely satisfied with Mr. McClure'
Formula. He stated that a basic organization for all institutions
should be set up and the ratio of teachers to pupils established.
Doctor Killer .requested permission to send letters to the
members of the Board asking for a report from each institution within
the next two weeks. The committee will then report at the next meeting
of the Board.

Adjustment of cooperative
teacher reimbursement for the
biennium 1957-39
Doctor Miller presented the following report of the
Budget Committee:
"REPORT OP THE BUDGET COMMITTEE
Re:
The Paying of Cooperative Teachers
March 19, 1937
The budget committee recommends the adoption of the following plan
for the paying of Cooperative Teachers:
1. In order to provide for the educational needs of a State
Teachers College it is desirable that each institution
should support and control on the campus a laboratory-
demonstration school the teachers of which shall be paid
on the present State salary schedule.
2.
In order to provide for student teaching needs in addition
to those available on the campus, in agreement with other
school districts, each institution may employ teachers
known as 'cooperative teachers' who shall be paid according
to the following schedule, effective September 1, 1937.
This shall not be retroactive as lowering the salary of any
present employe.
a.
A unit of service is the amount of service required
from a cooperative teacher in order that a student
may meet the student teaching requirements of a
four-year curriculum.
b. Cooperative teachers shall be paid an initial
salary of $50 per unit of service.
Those holding
a Bachelor's degree shall be entitled to an
increment of five dollars ($5.00) per year per unit
of service until a maximum of seventy-five dollars
Those holding a Master's
($75.00) is reached.
degree shall be entitled to an increment of ten
dollars ($10.00) per year per unit of service
until a maximum of one hundred dollars ($100.00)
per unit is reached.
c.
With the approval of the State Superintendent of
Public Instruction the salaries of present demonstration
or cooperative teachers now employed may be adjusted
on the basis of past experience and salary."
-1160-
Doctor Hill raised a question concerning paragraph c.
He asked what would happen to a teacher who was^paid $250.00.
It was brought out that this person's salary could remain
the same or she might even be increased if she had three or four
students and the master's degree.
Doctor Fausold asked if the latter part of paragraph two
meant that those teachers paid a flat amount by the school district
and by the college will be retained at the same salary.
Doctor Miller stated that this is the case. He added that
the committee felt that it would be wiser not to upset the practice
teaching situation in the State by any great change in the salaries
received by cooperative teachers already employed.
Doctor Steele stated that he is heartily in favor of
the new plan for reimbursement. He stated, however, that it will
at least double the cost of cooperative teaching. Doctor Steele
added that a large number of his cooperative teachers are now
receiving $90. If they are adjusted to the new plan, they will
receive $200. Some of those receiving $90 a year will be entitled
to $400 and savings v/ill be effected only in the case of four or
five teachers.
Doctor Allen stated that the point is that some
institutions have cooperative teachers that are getting $600, $800,
$1,000 or even .^1,200 and have cooperative teachers who came in at
$90. The purpose is to wipe out these inequalities, at least in
part.
Doctor Ross stated that the Budget Committee in preparing
its report has decided not to pass onthe campus school teacher.
Doctor Ade pointed out that the report refers only to
off-campus teachers.
Doctor Steele suggested the addition of this sentence to
the report:
Teachers in the campus demonstration school shall
not be considered cooperative teachers.
Doctor Ade suggested that Doctor Klonower make a report as
to how this new plan of reimbursement will affect all schools next
year.
On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Rowland it
was unanimously voted that the report of the Budget Committee be
adopted as amended.

Ranking of fa culty
members
Doctor Miller presented the following report for the
Budget Committee:
"REPORT OF THE BUDGET COMMITTEE
Re:
The ranking of faculty members
March 19, 1937
The Budget Committee has considered carefully the question of
ranking of faculty members. It seems desirable at this time to make
known the salary situations and therefore the suggestions given will
serve to prevent too large a number of instructors from reaching the
maximum salary and at the same time, will offer the opportunity for
professional advancement within the institution. The Committee,
therefore, presents the following suggestions for your further
consideration, with the idea that they will be studied carefully by
each President and acted upon at the next meeting of the Board:
1.
Each institution shall be entitled to a minimum of eight
full professorships. The number with rank of professor
on a State Teachers College faculty shall not exceed 25$
of the total number of full time faculty employed on the
campus. Each full time professor shall be entitled to
the salary as set up in Class I, providing he holds the
educational qualifications and experience which entitle
him to such salary classification.
2. The title of assistant professor shall be used to designate
those faculty members whose minimum educational qualifications
and experience are such as to entitle them to Class II of the
classification schedule,
3.
A classification known as instructor shall include those
whose educational training and experience shall be at
least the minimum required for Class III in the salary
classification schedule. Such number shall not exceed
15% of the total number of faculty."
Doctor Miller requested that each member of the Board study
the report and submit a tabulation not later than April 15 of the
application of this plan to the faculty of each institution.

March 16, 1937
To Members of the Board of Presidents:
Below please find a preliminary report of the Fee Committee relative to
the four items listed under F on Page 114-0 of the "Journal" for Friday,
January 15, 1937.
Under date of arch 1, 1937 as Chairman of the Committee, I asked the
members of the Board for comments and suggestions concerning these
items. Following each numbered item is a sur;imary of the comments,
together with additional general comments.
,T
!

.
MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT FOR STUDENTS UNABLE TO PAY FEES IN ADVANCE
Seven Presidents commented as follows: Five indicated no need for
change; Two suggested some simple legal fqrm of promissory note
to be signed by responsible persons.
Attention is called to the following statement of "Uniform Fees,
Deposits and Repayments in the State Teachors College - effective
June 1, 1933" to the effect that "The President of the institution
may, at his discretion, authorize payments not less than one month
The implication of this is clear
in advance to worthy studjnts."
to the effect that a student to remain in good standing must pay
the fees due in advance.
2. FEES FOR EXTENSION OR PART-TIME COURSES FOR OUT-OF-STATE STUDENTS.
Nine Presidents commented as follows: Five suggest increase on
basis of pro-rata of additional amount now charged for out-ofState students; Four because of absence of problem, no suggestions.
One suggestion was to the effect that $7.00 per semester hour be
charged for less than 15 semester hours.
3.
INCREASED COST FOR CONDUCTING THE DINING ROOM FOR THE NEXT BIENNIUM.
Seven Presidents commented as follows:
Three are opposed to any
increase; Four approve an increase because of increased living
costs.
-1163-
It would appear that the question is not merely one of raising the
fee but also of the effect of raising this fee on the total enrollment
4. FEE TO COVER BREAKAGE.
Wine Presidents commented as follows: Six approve a breakage
fee; Three oppose or question its value.
It should be noted that it was customary to charge a breakage fee
as well as laboratory fees for various courses previous to the
charging of the contingent fee and previous to the requirement
that fees collected must be turned into the general fund of the
Treasury. If a general breakage fee is charged everyone and not

addition to the above, the educational soundness of a general
breakage fee is questioned.
SUMMARY - No comments or suggestions have been received from five
members of the Board. On the basis of the returns received, the
Committee does not feel justified in making any suggestions. It
has no brief or any particular point of view and is ready to write
into proper form any policies approved by the Board."
Doctor Haas asked that the report be accepted and that the
Presidents submit to him their reaction on each item.
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Ross it was
voted that the report be accepted for study and that each member of
the Board submit his reacton to the report to Doctor Haas.
Doctor Ade requested that each member of the Board
cooperate with the chairmen of committees when requests are made for
information on committee" reports.
Doctor Ade raised a question concerning item one of the
report of the Fee Committee.
Doctor Haas stated that that item would not be a problem
since the Uniform Fees, Deposits and Repayments report which had been
adopted some time ago prohibited the admission of students unless
fees were paid in advance.
G. E valuation of credits fro m Stat e
Teachers Colleges for pr e-pr ofessional
purposes other than teaching
Doctor Klonower asked whether this should not be carried
on the docket until after the results of the present legislation
are determined with reference to the broadening of the fields of
service for the State Teachers Colleges.
-1164-
c.
Doctor Rohrbach stated that this remains a question
irrespective of legislation. It indicates that persons who
complete courses in the*State Teaclurs Colleges are still questioned
in comparison with the material offered in other institutions.
It was agreed that this item should be continued on the
docket and that Doc too? Newphor should bo asked to appear before
the Board to clarify the matter.
In this connection, copies of the Roberts Bill No. 191
wero distributed to the members of the Board.

Prerequisite s in th e fields

On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Haas it
was voted that these items be removed from the docket.
Doctor Rowland stated that a study completed at his
institution showed that fifty per cent of students had not had
previous courses in music and art.
Doctor Klonowor suggested that the Board consider the
adoption of a resolution whereby after 1933 no students would be
admitted who had not had training in these fields.
Doctor Steele stated that he felt that it would be wiser
to require that the students demonstrate competency in these fields
rather than require the completion of courses.
Doctor Fausold stated that legislation is now in process
which would enable the Superintendent of Public Instruction to
withhold appropriation fro. a those districts which did not provide
in the curriculum the subjects now required by law.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Rowland
item two be restored to the docket.

Doctor Rohrbach stated that he had requested that this
item be put on the docket in order to secure information from the
-1165-
.
Presidents. He asked if each institution spends what it can for
publications.
It was brought out that this question had been considered
by the Board some years ago.
Doctor Steele stated that some institutions live up to the
maximum of the number of pages, cuts, et cetera, allowed under this
policy while other institutions do not have the funds to do this.
Doctor Rohrbach stated that he understood that it is now
the policy of the Department to' allow each President to publish
what he wished.
On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Rohrbach
it was vot ed that the Superintendent of Public Instruction be
authorized to appoint a committee to review the entire matter of
publications
B« A long-term building program
for State T eache rs Colleges
Doctor Steele stated that he had requested that this item
be placed on the docket.
He added that the whole building set-up
has been left to the individual institution. He felt that it would
help if a competent committee were appointed to investigate our
building needs and, on the basis of that survey, this whole program
would likely be much more effectively advanced.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Mr. Swope it was
voted that this item be removed from the docket for the present.

.
Interpretation of the Salary
Schedule
Doctor Klon-.-wer read a portion of a memorandum from
Doctor Ade to Presidents of State Teachers Colleges and Heads of
Other State-Owned Educational Institutions under date of hlarch 15,
1937 as follows:
"No appointment will be approved at a salary
higher than the minimum salary rate of the
class."
Doctor Klonower pointed out that although this memorandum
referred specifically to non-instructional positions, it also applied
to instructional staff members.
Doctor Ade emphasized the fact that all appointments must
be made in terms of the Salary Schedule and no irregular salaries
will be approved. He asked that each President be extremely careful
in quoting salaries to prospective instructors and to be sure that
they are following the provisions of the Salary Schedule. All
appointments must be pre-approved.
-1166-
.
Doctor Ade suggested that Doctor Klonower draw up a
memorandum to the Pr3sidents with reference specifically to the
appointment of members of the instructional staff.
D. Printing of Entrance Forms
for the State Teachers Colleges
Doctor Steele stated that in the past California had
printed forms for practically every institution. Due to the
difficulty of securing the stock for this printing, he stated
that California would be unable to render this service.
Following the discussion it is understood that
requisitions for all printing will follow the normal course
through the Department of Public Instruction.

Doctor Klonower read the following letter which was
received from Doctor Edith MacBride-Dexter, Secretary of Health,
under date of February 25, 1937:
"Not only are we sympathetic with the program of
tuberculosis discussion suggested in your letter of
January 26 but shall be veryglad to designate the
proper number of our staff to make appropriate talks
colleges at
to the students of the various teachers
the time these are visited for the purpose of case
finding.
Your communication also brings to mind a feeling which
we over here in the Health Department have had for a
long tine that it might be profitable to prospective
teachers and perhaps contribute to a somewhat more
successful control of communicable diseases in schools
if, some time during the Senior year, some of us might
have a chance to appear before the graduating class for
the purpose of discussing briefly communicable disease's,
what offers in the way of their prevention or limitation
and, more particularly, the responsibility of the teacher
in this connection and the ways in which he or she may be
of real service. It is possible that this ground is already
being covered by some member of the several College Faculties,
We take this opportunity of mentioning it, however, to pave
the way for such a program if it has not already been put
into effect by the schools themselves."
:,
Doctor Klonower added that the Department of Health has
two mobile units which could go to the State Teachers Colleges to
take the X-ray pictures, but, in addition, this work should be

accompanied by talks on tuberculosis prevention. He suggested that
one or two institutions could serve in an experimental manmer. After
the difficulties of the project were worked out, the matter could
then be presented to the entire Board for further consideration.
Doctor Steele, Doctor Ross and Doctor Miller volunteered

F.
Con tinua nee of servi ce of
instr uctional staff f or the
ensuin g college year
Doctor Klonower stated that several members of the Board
had raised a question ith reference to the matter of the re-election
of members of the instructional staff.
_r
From the discussion around the Board, it appeared that
about half of the institutions re-elect members of the instructional
staff each year, while the other institutions do not re-elect staff
members each year. It also appeared that there was considerable
difference of opinion as to the status of instructors in the State
Teachers Colleges. Some members of the Board were of the opinion
that instructors are State employes and, as such, continue in
employment without re-election until dropped for some specific
reason. Other Presidents were of the opinion that the instructors
have the same status as that of teachers in the public schools.
'
It was decided that the Department of Public Instruction
should advise the members of the Board with reference to the status
of the instructional staff.
IV.
Miscellaneous
A. Meeting of the Deans of
Instruction

B. Delegate to the Inauguration
of Doctor Fausold
Doctor Klonower stated that the inauguration of Doctor
Fausold as President of the State Teachers College at Indiana is
being arranged. The date has been tentatively set as May 6, 1937.
On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Rowland

representative of the Board to speak at the inauguration exercises
of Doctor Fausold.

Change in Date of Board
Meeting .

.
.
Doctor Rowland raised a question concerning the next meeting
of the Board which would regularly be held on May 21, 1937. Since this
is the day before the beginning of commencement activities in the State
Teachers Colleges, it was suggested that the meeting be held on May 14,
1937.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Haas it was
vot ed that the next meeting of the Board of Presidents be held on
May 14, 1937.
D
Report of Delegate to Meeting
of American Association of
Teachers Colleges
Doctor Allen who represented the Board of Presidents at the
meeting of the American Association of Teachers Colleges in New
Orleans had no formal report to submit to the Board.
Doctor Klonower agreed to prepare and distribute copies of
Doctor Sprague's report to the American Association of Teachers
Colleges together with copies of the criticism of this report.

Revision of Curriculums
Doctor Steele reported that the revision of the
curriculums has been completed with the exception of the
home economics curriculum. As soon as the Home Economics
Association of Pennsylvania has made its report to the
Committee, the curriculum will be submitted to the Board.
This curriculum must be studied in the light of the Federal
Vocational Act.
Doctor Steele stated that the secondary curriculum
has been subjected to considerable study and there appear to be
certain discrepancies; one, for instance, in the field of science
in which the general science major as outlined does not agree
with the certification requirements. Doctor Steele added that
the Presidents will be asked to consult with their Deans of
Instruction so that errors may be corrected and readjustments
made at the next meeting of the Board.
Doctor Noonan asked when the revision of the curriculum
will be completed.
Doctor Klonower assured Doctor Fausold and Doctor Noonan
that they will be informed concerning the revised home economics
curriculum before the end of June.
Doctor Ross raised a question concerning the general
science field. He stated that the requirements in general science
are very inadequate and asked whether it would be possible to
raise the number of hours in this concentration field from
twenty-four semester hours to thirty semester hours.
Doctor Steele asked whether the Committee might not
have a definite written statement of the point of view from each
institution.

had sent to the Committee of the Middle States Association all the

Doctor Haas reported for the Budget Committee and submitted
the following report:

"In order that further study and analysis of
the proposed cooperative teacher salary
schedule may be made, it is recommended that
the action of the Board of Presidents of
March 19, 1937 be rescinded and that the
matter be referred to the Budget Committee
for further study, a report to be made at
the November meeting in the light of the
actual enrollment and financial situation
at that time."
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Mr. Swope it was
voted that the report of the Committee be adopted.
Doctor Rowland suggested that it might be possible for
an institution to experiment with the plan.
It was agreed that, if the salaries of cooperative
teachers could be kept under the present Salary Schedule, this
could be done.

Ranking of faculty members
Doctor Miller submitted the following report for the
Budget Committee:
"REPORT OF BUDGET COMMITTEE
RANK OF FACULTY MEMBERS
In order to evaluate the qualifications of the instructional
staffs of the State Teachers Colleges in Pennsylvania in terms
of the requirements of recognized accrediting agencies, the
Budget Committee recommends the adoption of the following plan
for ranking:
1.
Each institution shall have a minimum of eight professors.
2.
To be eligible for the rank of professor, a faculty member
must hold an earned doctor's degree granted by a graduate
school recognized by the American Association of Graduate
Schools and shall have had a minimum of nine years of
experience, half of which must have been in the public
schools.
A major portion of the graduate work shall have
been done in the field or department in which the professor
is teaching.
3.
In order to be eligible for the rank of assistant professor,
a faculty member must hold a minimum of a Master's degree
granted by a graduate school recognized by the American
-1173-
Association of Graduate Schools, and shall have had five
years of experience, half of which has been in the public
schools. A major portion of the graduate work shall have
been done in the field or department in which the
assistant professor is teaching,

Q. A. W. Rohrbach
C. S. Miller, Chairman"
May 14, 1937
Doctor Miller stated that the report does not take
into consideration in any way the matter of salaries.
Doctor Rowland stated that he has no objection to the
report but that he believed that practically all institutions
have a limit upon the number of persons who may hold professorial
rank and that it would be unwise for our institutions to set up
any situation that would make possible a large proportion of the
faculty qualifying for the professorial rank and achieving that
rank.
It was moved by Doctor Rowland and seconded by Doctor
Miller that the report be amended as follows:
"In order to control the possible development of
a disproportionately large number of faculty
members qualifying for the professorial rank,
that, such to the minimum of eight full
professorships as stated above, not more than
thirty percent of the faculty may, at one time,
hold this rank."
The motion did not carry.
it
On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Rowland
was voted that the report be adopted.
Doctor Fausold, Doctor Hill, and Mr. Swope voted "no"
on the motion.

situation looked very hopeful at this time,
that the members of the Board secure the support of persons
in the service areas who are interested in the State Teachers
Colleges but not directly associated with the institution.
He felt that the aid of such persons would be very effective.
Doctor Ade then discussed certain administrative
bills on education. He urged the Presidents to do everything
possible to stimulate and support the consolidation movement
which will follow as a result of the passage of the
Ruth-Brownf ield Bill which has just been signed by the
Governor.

Fee to cover breakage
Doctor Haas reported that only four members of the
Board made a favorable recommendation toward the separate
breakage fee.
Doctor Rowland stated that he was one of the
Presidents who wrote to Doctor Haas. He added that almost
all colleges and universities make some provision for this
item, and that most colleges require a bond.
Doctor Haas mentioned the administrative difficulties
in connection with the collection of a deposit for breakage and
the refund of such deposits.
Doctor Miller requested that the Fee Committee make a
study of the breakage fee problem.
Doctor Steele stated that he is heartily in favor of
such a fee if some form of administration can be worked out
whereby the fees could be used as a revolving fund.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Miller
it was voted that the Fee Committee be instructed to see
it is possible to set up satisfactorily a revolving fund
whether

each institution from which costs of damages could be met.
Doctor Haas stated that a question had been raised with
the Fee Committee concerning the advisability of establishing a
late registration fee as a penalty for late registration.

was voted that the Fee Committee be instructed to consider
the matter of a late registration fee and to report at the next
meeting of the Board.

Report of Committee on Publications
Doctor Haas, Chairman of the Committee, stated that the
assignment of the committee had been made too recently to allow
time for a report. He stated that some years ago a Committee on
Publications was appointed and it developed some minimum standards
relative to publications. These standards covered general format,
make-up, number of publications, distribution, size, et cetera. He
suggested that members of the Board go back and review the present
situation.

X-Ray Examinations and Health Talks
Department of Health
-
Doctor Klonower stated the original plans for this
experiment had gone awry. He added that it had been planned to have
the study body called together for an educational talk on the health
problem and tuberculosis in the school. Following the talk, the X-ray
examination was to be given.
Doctor Rohrbach, Doctor Haas, and Doctor Fausold stated that
this had been done in their institutions.
It was agreed that what has been done in this program seems
to be a step in the rip-ht direction.
Doctor Klonower stated that the Department of Health is very
cooperative concerning the program for the summer session and the
authorities in charge are very anxious to make it a real educational
program.

Doctor Miller suggested that the Department of Public
Instruction arrange a schedule with the Department of Health so
that advance notice could be given to the institutions and suitable
arrangements made for the examinations.

Distribution of certificates of
teachers in the elementary schools
of Pennsylvania - 1956-37
Doctor Klonower distributed to the members of the Board
photostatic copies of a chart showing the distribution of certificates
of teachers in the elementary schools for the year 1936-37.
He stated
that the significant fact is the 6,235 college graduates in the
elementary field compared with the 5,000 of last year. The chart
indicates the status of elementary teachers in each of the counties
and provides material from which the Deans of Instruction may secure
an accurate picture of the type of in-service teacher education program
which would be necessary to advance the professional status of teachers
within the service area of each institution.

College certificates of
elementary teach e s in
Pennsylvania - Service
areas of the State Teachers
Colleges
Doctor Klonower distributed photostatic copies of
this chart and indicated the need for in-service education of
teachers in various sections of the service areas. The chart
presents a definite challenge to all the institutions.
It
was pointed out that it might be unreasonable to expect each
institution to draw all of the teachers who lack college
preparation back in the institutions, but the chart at least
indicates that there is plenty of hard work ahead in every
service area.
Slippery Rock seems to have the largest percentage
of college graduates in the elementary field within its area.
There are 6,156 elementary teachers in this service area and of
this number 25.8 per cent are college graduates. The situation
at Clarion is a little more difficult; here are found 2,284
elementary teachers of whom 9.9 per cent are college graduates.
On motion of Doctor Fausold, seconded by Doctor Miller
and Doctor Allen it was voted that the State Council of Education
be requested to adopt the following recommendation:
That, beginning January 1, 1938, all incoming
students preparing to teach in the elementary
field must complete a four-year curriculum and
that, after September 1, 1941, not any one may
be certificated to teach in the elementary field
without having completed an approved four-year
curriculum for the education of teachers, or
its equivalent.

English Speech
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision
Committee, reported progress and stated that the Committee had
submitted to the different institutions the general outline concerning the revision of the first two years of the four- year
curriculum. The Committee believes that final action ought to be
deferred pending the decision of the Faculty Conference Committee
since these matters have al?/ays been brought before the faculties
of the State Teachers Colleges.
Doctor Steele explained that it was not the thought
of the Curricular Revision Committee to get away from the profesIt is merely meeting the criticism of the
sional point of view.
liberal arts colleges that the amount of professional work compared to the content is excessive.
It is the thought of the Committee to enrich the curriculum by condensing the professional
courses.
Doctor Rowland stated that it appeared to him that
the essential difference between the proposed revision of the
first two years of the curriculum and the junior college idea is
the fact that these two years will be presented to the student in
a professional institution, in a professional atmosphere, and the
students will receive something of the professional character of
the courses.
On motion of Doctor Rohrbach, seconded by Mr. Swope
it was voted that the report of the Committee be accepted.
B.
Report of committee re "modification
of the law for permanent certification
in Pennsylvania "
Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the committee, reported
for the committee.
He asked that the item be held over until the
September meeting of the Board. He added that the committees of
the Pennsylvania State Education Association and the Andrews
Committee were considering this same matter.
-1054-
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Rowland
it was voted that the report of the committee be accepted.
C.
Report of committee re "recognition
by the Middle States Association"
Doctor Rov/land, Chairman of the Committee, reported
that the committee wishes to report progress. He then read the
following letter written to Doctor Rohrbach under date of June 9,
1936:
"Dr. Q. A. W. Rohrbach,
President, State Teachers College,
Kutztown, Pennsylvania
My dear Doctor Rohrbach:
As I indicated in my last letter to you I had a conference
with Doctor Grizzell in his office at the University of Pennsylvania
on Friday, June 5. Some progress seems to have been made in the
matter of our request for consideration by the Middle States Association as reported by Doctor Grizzell. He stated that a joint
committee of the two Commissions of the Association, the Commission
on Institutions of Higher Education and the Commission on Secondary
Schools consisting of E. D. Grizzell, University of Pennsylvania,
Secondary Commission, Chairman, Frank H. Bowles, Columbia University,
Secretary of the Higher Education Commission, Ira R. Kraybill,
Principal, Cheltenham High School, Elkins Park, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, Secondary Commission, Y/ilson Farrand, Princeton University, Higher Education Commission, George William McClelland,
University of Pennsylvania, Secretary of the Association, had met
to discuss the question.
After considerable discussion this committee came to the
conclusion that rather than accept the list of the American
Association of Teachers Colleges as an equivalent list, it would
be preferable to attempt to accredit such of the Teachers Colleges
as apply for such accreditment individually, and they recommended
to the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education that they
select three or four Teachers Colleges from the area covered by
the Association to be carefully investigated as a temporary step.
At a subsequent meeting of the Commission on Institutions
of Higher Education the recommendation of the committee v/as
accepted as far as the suggestion to attempt to accredit Teachers
•1055-
Colleges individually was concerned, but instead of agreeing to
the selection of three or four of the colleges a committee was
appointed to consider such modifications as might have to he
made of the standards set by the Commission on Institutions of
Higher Education in order to meet the Teachers College situation.
This committee is composed of Dr. James N. Rule, Chairman, Dr.
Harlan H. Horner, Assistant Commissioner for Higher Education of
New York State, Albany, and Dr. Frank H. Bowles, Secretary of the
Commission, Columbia University.
This committee was instructed to study the problem and
to report to the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education
in the fall.
In further explanation of the Joint committees reluctance
to accept the American Association of Teachers Colleges' list,
Doctor Grizzell told me that they accept as equivalent lists to
their own only the list of approved institutions of the North
Central Association, the Northwest Association, the Southern
Association and the association of American Universities, all of
which have comparable standards with the exception of the North
Central association v;hich they feel has even more advanced
standards than their own.
I suppose we can regard this report as an evidence of
progress in our negotiations. It would seem that it might be
wise to arrange with Doctor Rule for a joint meeting of his
committee and ours, and I am writing him making this suggestion.
With kindest regards,
I
am
Very sincerely yours,
Albert Lindsay Rowland
President"
Doctor Rowland added that on Monday, July 13, 1936, he
expected to meet with Doctor Rule, Chairman of the committee
appointed to consider such modifications as may have to be made
of the standards set by the Commission on Institutions of Higher
Education of the Middle States Association.
On motion of Doctor Tanger, seconded by Doctor Steele
it was voted that the report of the committee be accepted.

D.
Report of committee re "modification
of the enrolliaent report on page 3"
Doctor Haas, Chairman of the committee, submitted the
following report of the committee:
"To the Members of the Board of Presidents:
In reply to the suggestion made by the Committee in
its report under date of March 20, 1936, Mr. Klonower sent to
all members of the board copies of the report, suggesting that
any changes desired be made in the form requested by the
Committee.
Edited reports have been received from five
institutions, in addition to letters from too other institutions.
The Committee makes the following proposals and suggestions with final report to be made to Mr. Klonower and that
he be authorized to modify the form in the light of our
suggestions as will best fit his needs. The following changes
are suggested for consideration:
1.
The caption attached to Class I Students to read as follows:
•Class I Students (who have met in full the entrance
requirements and who are pursuing as full-time students
a regularly adopted and authorized curriculum for the
preparation of teachers for the public schools,
including students who in completing a regularly
adopted and authorized curriculum need less than
13 semester hours)
as follows:'
2.

However, it should be noted that this report is

Respectfully submitted,
Dr. Robert M. Steele
Dr. Henry Klonower
Dr. Francis B. Haas, Chairman"
Doctor Rohrbach expressed the opinion that the Class III
students should be broken down into four groups so that this
figure could be taken into consideration in the allocation of
State money.
He stated that several of the institutions have a
large number of Class III students and that this is not taken
into consideration since State money is allocated on the basis
of Class I students.
He added that, in many cases, a large
number of the Class III students may be taking as many as nine,
ten, eleven, or twelve semester hours of credit, placing a
heavy burden on the instructional staff, for which no compensation is received.
Doctor Steele and Doctor Rowland agreed with this point
of view.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Hill
it was voted that this report be accepted for study by each
member of the Board and a final report be made to Doctor Haas
who will present the result of the judgment of the members of
the Board at the meeting in September.

Salary Qualifications Schedule
In the absence of Doctor Miller, Chairman of the
Budget Committee, no report for the Committee was submitted.
Doctor Rohrbach asked if there was to be any discussion
of the item, "Allocations for 1937-38."
Doctor Ade suggested that the Budget Committee meet and
confer with the State Superintendent of Public Instruction
during the last part of August as to the matter of restoration of
salary cuts, Fire and Panic Act provisions, et cetera, in order
that he may have the benefit of the advice of the Budget Committee before requesting appropriation for the year 1937-38.
Doctor Klonower brought to the attention of the Board
the possibility of making economies in the budget to adjust,
in part, the ten per cent reduction.
Doctor Rowland stated that, at the present time, we are
in the second year of a biennium in which the appropriations to
the State Teachers Colleges have already been made and we have
no way of increasing or altering salaries.
Doctor Steele stated that at the time the ten per cent
reduction was made it was the opinion of the Board that individual
adjustments could be considered on the merits of the case. He
stated that it is vital that some salary adjustments be made in
order to prevent the drifting away of the most competent staff
members.
-1Q59-
Doctor Ade asked that Doctor Ackley, now Director of
the Bureau of Administration and Finance, go over the budgets
to see if there is any way to save money in order that these
outstanding members of the faculty may be held.
Doctor Allen raised a question concerning the W.P.A.
projects under the Fire and Panic Act. He mentioned the
possibility of there being additional money if the necessary
repairs are done by ft.P.A. projects.
Doctor Ade replied that no provision could be made for
this until the Tv^P.A. projects are actually approved.
Doctor Rohrbach stated that the only item in their
budget on this matter is the three per cent fee for architectural
service. He added that he had been advised by Mr. Bashore's
office not to include in the budget the costs of materials.
In order to secure blanket action from the members of
the Board, Doctor Steele presented the following motion:
"It is the sense of this Board that, if
funds can be provided through economies
in the budget , and with the approval of
the Department of Public Instruction,
individual adjustments may be made when
recommended by the Board of Trustees."
Doctor Rowland stated that this is a system of teachers
colleges where, presumably, we have a common salary schedule. It
seemed to him that it would seriously break the morale of the
instructors in some of the institutions if it were learned that
teachers were receiving adjustments in other institutions.
Doctor Rohrbach stated that he agreed with the motion
for the year 1937-38 but not for the present year.
Doctor Steele added that there is no desire to attempt
to raise the level of salaries.
He added that the institutions
would have to justify the increases to the State Superintendent
of Public Instruction and increases would be recommended only
where salaries are considerably below the Salary Qualification
Schedule and that it is in the interests of the morale of the
institution to be willing to recognize the necessity of adjusting
individual salaries on this basis.
-1060-
The motion made by Doctor Steele was defeated by a
vote of ten to two.

Fee Committee - Refund of Contingent
and Housing Fee3
Doctor Klonower read the following letter from Mr.
?.oy J. Keefef of the Board of Finance and Revenue, Treasury
Department, June 29, 1936:
"Dr. Lester K. Ade
Superintendent of public Instruction
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
Dear Dr. Ade:
Your letter of June 15th relative to Paragraph D-II,
Repayments of the Uniform Fees, Deposits, and Repayments in the
State Teachers Colleges, effective June 1, 1933, is very much
appreciated.
We are in thorough accord with you that the Board of
Trustees need not approve the absence of a student on account of
illness certified to by an attending physician and that the Board
of Trustees must approve any other reason for absence.
We go
further, however, and have taken the position that in either case
and in fact in any and all claims for refund, no matter for what
reason, the Board of Trustees should approve the actual amount of
the refund.
I have been talking with Mr. Klonower of your Department
on this matter and have suggested that same be presented to the
Board of Presidents of State Teachers Colleges when they meet on
July 10th. We feel that to have the Board of Trustees approve the
amount of refund in every case would place responsibility and
control over funds where it belongs.
We believe also that if the Board of Presidents were
to concur in the position we have taken the resolution referred
to above could be amended accordingly with the result that upon
being so notified all State Teachers Colleges would then be in a
position to prepare and submit claims for refund under a uniform
ruling.
-1063-
We therefore respectfully request that you present
our position to the Board of Presidents at their meeting on
July 10th with the purpose in view of having the Board of
Presidents concur in our position, and that the resolution
of the Board of Presidents be modified accordingly.
This whole problem has arisen because of the fact
that the Board of Trustees of some State Teachers Colleges
approve all claims for refund while others refuse to approve
the actual amount of the refund where the student has been
absent on account of personal illness certified to by an
attending physician.
Appreciating your cooperation,
I
am
Very truly yours
(signed)
HOY J. KEETER
for
WALTER J. KRESS, Secretary"
It was agreed that the members of the Board will advise
their Board of Trustees to cooperate with the Board of Finance
and Revenue in order that a uniform procedure may be followed.

Cooperative Enterprise and Laundry
Management
Mr. W. A. Sponsler, Assistant Budget Secretary, appeared
before the Board and presented a plan for the testing of the
laundries of the State Teachers Colleges. This program is to be
established in cooperation with Pennsylvania State College. He
stated that the cost for the visit of an expert to the laundry
of each institution, for the analyzing of laundry as to percentage
of soil removal, strength of texture, retention of whiteness, et
cetera, would be $440 for the State Teachers Colleges to be pro
rated as follows:

Doctor Allen asked if this would include a study of
labor costs in the various institutions.
Mr. Sponsler replied that this would be done.
Doctor Tanger asked if the matter of the composition
of the water would be looked into.
"Mr. Sponsler replied that the composition of water
was taken into consideration and the institution advised whether
or not a water softener is needed.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Haas
it was voted that the teachers colleges participate in the study
and that the $.440 be pro rated among the institutions.

On motion of Doctor Ross, seconded by Doctor Walsh

E.
Advisability of Securing the
Services of a Food Expert for
the State Teachers Colleges
Doctor Klonower read a communication which he had
received concerning the advisability of having a food expert
serve the State Teachers Colleges in the selection of meats.
Mr. W. H. VanZant of State College, Pennsylvania, claims that
there is a wide range of difference in the percentage of waste
in the carcasses.
One familiar with these matters could be
able to recommend purchases with the least possible waste and
thus effect a considerable saving to institutions.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Ross
it was voted that Mr. VanZant be thanked for his suggestion and
that the matter be taken up with the dietitians of each institu-
tion.

K.
X-Ray Exam nations- Pennsylvania
Tuberculosis Society
Doctor Klonower stated that the Pennsylvania Tuberculosis Society is carrying on in the public schools of the
Commonwealth an intensive drive for the discovery of tuberculosis
among students. X-ray pictures of children have been taken,
developed and sent to the school physician who, in turn, sends
the children to their own physician where cases are disclosed. He
stated that the great difficulty is making the teachers conscious
of this problem. He suggested that one college might cooperate
with the Society during the summer session. The X-ray apparatus
could be brought into the college and, after a preliminary presentation, the teachers might be brought into the X-ray examination
program. He added that the cost of the X-ray picture would be
from $.75 to :>1.00 per person.
Doctor Haas stated that he felt that the institutions
are not doing what they should in the matter of health examinations,
Doctor Rowland volunteered his institution as the
institution in which this experiment could be initiated during the
summer session. He stated that for the past two years tests had
been made at the Mont Alto Sanatorium free of charge.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Haas
it was voted that the item be referred to Doctor Klonower for
continued cooperation with the Pennsylvania Tuberculosis Society.
L.
Field trips for credit
Doctor Klonower stated that he had two requests in line
with the progressive movement to carry education out beyond the
classroom. He stated that one institution wished to organize a
geography class including a bus trip covering three weeks through
southeastern United States.
Doctor Rowland stated that he is in favor of such trips
provided the institution stands back of the course and puts its
reputation back of the credit given.
Mr. Swope stated that the one outstanding thing in
education which he had sensed was the travel program.
Doctor Klonower then spoke of the arrangements which
had been made with the University of Madrid, University of
-1067-
Porto Rico, University of Paris, University of Oxford,
University of Mexico, and the French, German, and Spanish
colonies at Middlebury, Connecticut. He stated that courses
completed at such institutions are given full credit for
certification.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Mr. Sv/ope
it was voted that it is the sense of the Board that such
extension of educational facilities in proper control and with
adequate staff be approved with the provision that the student
will pay the regular semester hour fee plus the expenses of the
trip.
Doctor Ross raised a question concerning the possibility
of allowing students to complete four semester hours of credit
during the three weeks summer session.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Hill
it was voted that this item be considered definitely as an item
to be brought before the Board at its next meeting and that, in
the meantime, all cases of this kind be referred to Doctor
Klonower with the understanding that he will have full authority
in such matters.

Doctor Klonower distributed a chart indicating the
comparative enrollments for the summer sessions of 1934, 1935
and 1936.
Doctor Riemer suggested that in comparing the summer
session enrollments, the percentage of the summer session
enrollment compared with the winter enrollment should be taken
into consideration.
It was agreed that this should be done.

there seemed to be some relationship between the miles-distance from
the State Teachers College and the professional status of teachers.

subjects as well as the electives in the first two years of the curriculum should be.
Doctor Steele distributed bulletins from the State Normal

He port of commi t tee_ re "recognition
by the Middle States Association "
Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the committee, reported for
the committee.
He stated that, since the last meeting of the Board,
the committee had gotten in touch with Doctor Rule, chairman of a
joint committee of the two Commissions of the Association, the
Commission of Institutions of Higher Education and the Commission
on Secondary Schools.
He stated that the result of their meeting
-1074-
was a statement of principles and standards for the rating of
State Teachers Colleges. He added that item #11 of the following "Principles and Standards for Pating Teachers Colleges" is
slightly different from the original statement of Doctor Rule s
Committee:
f
PRINCIPLES AND STANDARDS FOR RATING TEACHERS COLLEGES
I
.
Definition of a Teachers College
Teachers College (Four Year institution Granting Degrees)
A teachers college, within the meaning of these standards, is a
state, municipal or incorporated private institution, not operating
for profit, or an independent unit of a recognized colls ge or
university having at least one four-year unified curriculum; which
is devoted exclusively to the preparation of teachers; which has
legal autliority to grant a bachelor's degree; which has granted and
continues to grant such degrees; and which requires for admission
the completion of a standard four- year secondary school curriculum,
or equivalent education approved by this Association.
II.
Standards for Admission
A teachers college shall require for admission the satis~
factory completion of a four-year program of studies of not fewer
than fifteen units in a secondary school approved by a recognized
accrediting agency, or the equivalent of such a program. Evidence
of a program of selective admissions shall be submitted to the
accrediting committee. Experience in teaching shall in no case be
accepted for entrance credit nor in discharge of the requirements
for graduation except as a part of the student teaching requirement
for teachers in service.
III.
Standards for Graduation
A teachers college shall require for graduation the completion of a minimum quantitative requirement of 120 semester hours
of credit (or the equivalent in term hours, quarter hours, points,
majors or courses) with further scholastic qualitative requirements
adapted by each institution to its conditions. Credit for not more
than thirty semester hours of work in extension classes may be permitted. No degree, certificate or diploma shall be issued by a
teachers college to a student who has not spent a minimum of one
year (thirty semester hours) in regular residence work in the
institution issuing the certificate, degree or diploma. One year
of residenoe work shall be understood to mean one year of full-time
study or two half years or the equivalent of one year in summer
sessions.
-1075-
IT.
Number of Degrees
The conferring of a multiplicity of degrees is discouraged.
Small institutions should confine themselves to one or two. When more
than one baccalaureate degree is offered, all should he equal in
requirements for admission and for graduation.
Institutions of
limited resources and inadequate facilities for graduate work should
confine themselves strictly to undergraduate courses.
V.
Size, Preparation and Teaching Load of Faculty
The size of the faculty should bear a definite relation
t& the type of institution, the number of students and the number
of courses offered.
For a college of approximately 100 students
in a single curriculum the faculty should consist of at least eight
fully qualified instructors devoting full time to college work. With
the growth of the student body the number of full-time teachers
should be correspondingly increased.
The development of varied
curricula should involve the addition of further fully qualified
members of the instructional staff.
The education of the members of the faculty of professorial rank should include at least two years of study in their respective fields of teaching in a recognized graduate school.
It is
desirable that the education of all persons of professorial rank
should be equivalent to that required for the doctor's degree, or
should represent a corresponding professional or technical education.
A college should be judged in large part by the ratio which the number
of persons of professorial rank with appropriate education, scholarly
achievement and successful experience as teachers bears to the total
of the teaching staff.
Teaching schedules exceeding 16 hours per week per instructor, or classes (exclusive of lectures) of more than thirty students
should be interpreted as endangering educational efficiency.
VI.
Financial Support
The minimum annual operating income for an accredited
college, exclusive of payment of interest, annuities, etc., should
be ^50,000, of which not less than $25,000 should be derived from
stable sources, other than students, preferably from permanent
endowments.
Increase in faculty, student body and scope of instruction should be accompanied by increase in income from endowment. The
financial status of each college should be judged in relation to its
educational program.
VII.
Buildings and Equipment
The material equipment and upkeep of a teachers College
including its buildings, lands, laboratories, apparatus, and
-1076-
libraries and their efficient operation in relation to its educational
progress shall also be considered when judging an institution*
VIII.
Library
A teachers college shall maintain an adequately housed,
well-distributed, professionally administered library. The library
shall be adapted to the courses of study offered and shall be large
enough to meet the needs of students and faculty. Adequate annual
provision for the purchase of new books and periodicals shall be made.
IX.
Demonstration-Practice School and Student Teaching
A teachers college shall maintain a demonstration-practice
school for purposes of observation, demonstration and supervised
teaching.
The use of an urban or rural school system under the professional control and supervision of the college is recommended as a
complimentary provision to meet this requirement. The minimum amount
of student teaching required of every graduate of a teachers college
shall be 90 recitation hours of supervised teaching in addition to an
adequate program of observation and student teaching conference.
X-
Organization of the Program of Studies
In determining the standing of a teachers college, emphasis
will be placed on the character of the program of studies, the
efficiency of instruction, the general administrative policy, the
standard for regular degrees, the practice in granting honorary
degrees, the professional tone of the institution and its success in
stimulating and preparing students to do satisfactory work in
recognized graduate, professional or research institutions.
XI.
Professional Security
The administrative officials and instructional staff of
an accredited teachers college must be free from political or other
influences abridging academic freedom and must have some measure of
tenure to guarantee continuity of acceptable practices.
XII.
Accreditation
No teachers college shall be accredited until it has been
inspected and reported upon by an agent or agents regularly appointed
by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education,
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Steele it
was voted that the committee be allowed to report progress and that
this report be reviey/ed by the members of the Board for such
criticism and discussion as they feel may be desirable at the next
meeting of the Board, subsequent to which the committee will report
-1077-
to Doctor Rule's committee any further suggestions that the Board
sees fit to make.
Doctor Rohrbach suggested that each member of the Board
study, in particular, paragraph V, section two, apply tiie standards
to his own institution, and report back to Doctor Rowland before
the next meeting of the Board.
Doctor Rowland added that we are moving very satisfactorily toward accreditment by the Middle States Association.

Salary Adjustments
-
Doctor Miller, Chairman of the committee, reported for
the committee and submitted the following report:
"REPORT OF THE BUDGET COMMITTEE
Adjustment of Cooperative Teaching Reimbursement for
the Biennium 1937-1939:- The present plan of reimbursement for cooperative teachers seems to have developed a
number of inequalities and inequities. Consideration of
1,
-1078-
a revision is suggested, and the following plan is
proposed for such consideration. Any reimbursement
for any purpose tends to be more equitable to the
extent that a unit of service for which payment is
to be made may be defined.
The following proposal
is, therefore, suggested:
Unit of service - one student teacher per
semester - initial value of service ^25*00
per student per semester - value for each
succeeding year after the first to be
increased by $5.00 increments to a maximum
of ten increments.
In other words, reimbursement on this unit basis of service
would be for one student trained ^25. 00
for the first year, $30,00 for the second
year, $35.00 for the third year, etc. all other factors of training and qualifications to be the same as at present, or modifications to be made. This plan would appear
to treat the cooperative teachers the same
and in the long run would cost far less than
the present schedule, and since it is reasonable it would probably be possible to carry
it out. over a period of years.
Standardization of application of Standard V of the
2.
American Association of Teachers Colleges: Standard V
provides that "The following teaching load shall be the
maximum for a teachers college or normal school faculty:
16 recitation periods not exceeding 60 minutes each per
week or its equivalent. Equivalence shall be based upon
the ratio of one class period to one and one-half class
periods in shop, laboratory work and physical education."
An informal study of the application of this principle by
our different colleges indicates that different values
are being reported to the American Association. This
indirectly affects the administration of the institution
and, therefore, the general budget.
In other words, the
greater laboratory value an institution gives in any
subject, or subjects, the larger the possible faculty
load and, therefore, the smaller the number of members of
the faculty.
It is recommended that this question be
referred to the curriculum committee with the suggestion
that a uniform table be prepared for reporting and
administering such equivalents.

of ranking faculty members and will present
a tentative report at the next meeting.

Charles S. Miller, Chairman
Doctor Haas stated that, when this scheme becomes
effective after one year, teachers' experience will be evaluated
at that time on the basis of their previous experience as
cooperative teachers.
Doctor Ross raised a question concerning changing the
number of increments from ten to six.
It was felt by Doctor Haas and Doctor Allen that the
increments should remain at ten in order to put the change
into effect with as little friction as possible.
Doctor Ade suggested that the budgets be made up on
the basis of the ten increments and that a phrase, "to be paid
in proportion to a semester's work" be included in the paragraph.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Steele
voted that paragraph one of the report of the Budget
Committee be accepted with the correction indicated above.

On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Steele it
was voted that sections two and three of the report be
accepted.
In connection with paragraph three, Doctor Rohrbach,
who is studying this problem, suggested that the members of the
Board write to him giving their reaction to the problem of the
ranKing of instructors. He added that he is v.riting to the
State Teachers Colleges in other states concerning this matter.
Doctor Ross, a member of the Budget Committee, submitted
the following recommendation:
"That the Superintendent of Public Instruction
be authorized to approve such adjustments in
salaries as he may deem necessary and expedient
provided such adjustments be within the ten per
cent reduction from the salaries paid any
-
1080-
individual in 1932, or provided such adjustments
may be absolutely essential for the efficient
administration of and instruction in any institution, and provided further that the budget of
said institution or institutions as approved for
the current year warrants or permits it."
On motion of Doctor Ross, seconded by Doctor Miller it
was voted that this recommendation be adopted.
Doctor Ade raised a question concerning the transfer
of instructors from one State Teachers College to another.
Doctor Klonower clarified the matter by stating that
the Presidents of both institutions concerned must be in
agreement concerning the transfer and the transfer must be
approved by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction.
It was decided that the budgets for the next biennium
should be based on a restoration of the ten per cent cut.

1556 Testing program of Columbia
University
Doctor Klonower read the following report of the
meeting of the committee on educational testing held at
Columbia University, May 25, 1936:
REPORT OF MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATIONAL TESTING
May 25, 1936
I attended a meeting of the committee on educational
testing appointed by Doctor Alonzo F. Myers, President of the
Eastern-States Association of Professional Schools for Teachers
held at Columbia University, New York City, Monday, May 25, 1936.
The members of the committee present at the meeting were Doctor
Townsend, Doctor Wood, Doctor Russell, Doctor Welte, Doctor Tall,
Doctor Myers, Doctor Morris, and Henry Klonower.
The committee discussed a testing program for teacher
education institutions. As a result of the discussion the
following recommendations were adopted:
1.
That the members of the committee give a
statement to the chairman of their own conception of what a five-year program of this
committee of the Eastern-States Association
of Professional Schools for Teachers should
be, and that this individual report be submitted to the chairman as early as possible
in the summer.
-1081-
2.
That a questionnaire be submitted to the
Association members with an appropriate
letter to discover the present practice
in the field of educational and professional testing as a basis for the further
planning of our program. The chairman
asked Doctor Morris to prepare such a
questionnaire and Doctor Wood to prepare
the covering letter, the questionnaire
and letter to be submitted to the other
members of the committee upon receipt,
for their comments and criticism.
3.
That we should meet in the fall, presumably at some central location, to
discuss the implications of the several
programs submitted by the committee members, the committee members having
advanced copies of the submitted programs
before them for study.
•
4.
That on the basis of such a preliminary
investigation the committee formulate a
recommended program for presentation to
the Eastern States Association of Professional Schools for Teachers at its
spring session, 1937.
There remains nothing further to do since the matter
is to be presented to the Eastern-States Association of ProfesSubsional Schools for Teachers at its spring meeting in 1937.
sequent to this time, it will be the privilege of the Presidents
to decide whether they desire to participate in the program.
Respectfully submitted,
Henry Klonower

Doctor Steele described the difficulty of securing the
proper professional equipment through the Department of Property

Doctor Rohrbach stated that the Purchasing Department
of the Department of Property and Supplies is willing to view
a demonstration of the type of machine in which Doctor Steele
and he are interested, provided other machines of similar type
are demonstrated at the same time.
Doctor Ade suggested that the Presidents write directly
to his office when requisitions for professional and technical
equipment are not filled as requested.
K.
Report of Faculty Conference Committee
Mr. Swope, Chairman of the Committee, submitted the
following report:
"REPORT OF THE FaCULTY CONFERENCE COMMITTEE
The committee appointed to study the advisability of holding a conference of the faculties of the State
Teachers Colleges considered various elements of the question.
The value of such a conference to develop mutual understanding
and appreciation of the problems confronting each institution
was recognized. A faculty conference would afford an opportunity
for broadened contacts and free discussion of vital problems of
teacher education. Without the proper encouragement of our
teachers to extend their outlook to encompass the present day
challenges of education, there is apt to grow in our institutions
a certain insulation of ideas and a smugness of thought curbing
progressive advance of teacher education. A faculty conference
would also make it possible to coordinate present fluid educational practices and theories in teacher education.
In short, a
purpose
of State
anew
the
to
define
faculty conference would tend
Teachers Colleges and to investigate modern viewpoints in teacher
education. Undoubtedly, this effort would prove mutually beneficial to each of our institutions. Further, it was the sense
of the committee that such a conference would receive the wholehearted support of the faculty groups concerned*
-1083-
Against the many advantages of holding
a conference, the committee could not ignore certain
questions of immediate importance. The time to plan
a conference is short and the money available is
scarce. As all phases of present-day living aid in
a state of flux and change, it is equally evident
that State Teachers Colleges are passing through a
definite transitional period. As a result, many of
the fundamental problems concerned with teacher
education are in a nebulous and undefined state. The
satisfactory solution of some of these questions
requires more than open discussion. Fundamental
changes in curricula, for instance, may require
legislation and may be dependent upon increased
appropriations of money.
Upon consideration of the various issues
involved in holding a faculty conference, the committee wishes to submit for your consideration and
discussion the following proposals:
Believing that college faculties should
1.
be encouraged to have more frequent and
intimate contact with public school problems,
the committee recommends that the faculty of
each institution be invited to attend the
Education Congress to be held on October 8th
and 9th in the Education Building, Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania. Plans for the satisfactory
operation of the college during the absence
of teachers are to be made by each president.
The committee recommends that a conference of the teacher college faculties
be arranged early for the year 1937-38.
It is thought important to study the time
and place of the meeting and to define its
purpose clearly.

Doctor Klonower stated that, since all members of the
staff who are on the instructional payroll should be on a thirtysix weeks basis, with the exception of the President, he had
written a letter to each member of the board advising him of the
change which should be made.
It was agreed that no salaries should be increased due to
this change but that the salary of each member of the staff who
is now on the fifty- two weeks basis should be divided as follows:
6/7 of the present salary for the thirty- six weeks, and 1/7 of
the present salary for the summer session.
If the instructor is
employed for the post-summer session, he will receive one- half of
the summer session.

E valuat i on_ of credits from State
Tea chers Co lleges for pre-professional pu rposes
Doctor Ross read the following paragraphs from a letter
he received from Edward A. Green, Registrar of the Philadelphia
College of Osteopathy:
-1085-
"Inasmuch as all admissions to this College,
for the purpose of preparing for the practice of
osteopathy in the State of Pennsylvania, must be
passed upon by the Pre-Professional Bureau of the
Pennsylvania Department of public Instruction, we
are compelled to make the above mentioned request.
This Bureau has refused to accept the credits from
any of the State Normal Colleges, and has required
that all such credits shall be evaluated by an
approved College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
"Personally, I quite agree with you that this
is a most circuitous route, but I do believe that
you will readily recognize my position and will,
therefore, take up the matter with the Bureau which
I have mentioned.
The Chairman of this Bureau is
Mr. James G. Pentz.
His office is in the State
Department of Public Instruction at Karrisburg,
Pennsylvania."
It was decided that Doctor Newpher and Mr. Pentz should
be asked to appear beforo the Board at its meeting in November to
clarify this matter.
C•
Ent ranc e^ re qui reme nt s to State
Teachers Co lleges
Doctor Llonower raised a question concerning the admission of a student to a State Teachers College who has fifteen
high school units and is not a teacher in-service.
It was brougnt out that the State Teachers Colleges
have no discretion in the matter. Not anyone may be admitted to
a State Teachers College unless such a person has completed an
approved four-year high school education, holds an equivalent
high school certificate issued by the Department of Public
Instruction, or has been a teacher or is a teacher in-service.

E
Program of the National Committee
for Mental Hygiene
Doctor Klonower read the following letter from the
National Committee for Mental Hygiene under date of August 31, 1936
"In 1955, the National Committee for Mental
Hygiene investigated the mental hygiene aspects of
-1086-
teacher training and selection.
It was found that
many teachers continue in the classroom after they
are known to be mentally disordered and many more
are teaching whose mental ill health, though less
severe, is incompatible with good teaching.
Often
the retirement of such teachers is obstructed by
political and other interferences.
"Some of these teachers have been in poor mental
health since their student days when careful selection
might have given them the advantage of earlier treatment or of choosing another career less hazardous to
themselves and to growing children.
"Since the proper selection of students to develop
into mentally healthy teachers is crucial, the National
Committee for Mental Hygiene is centering its attention
on that point.
It is the hope that eventually we may
have better criteria of selection of students for training as teachers, and that we ray be able to remove some
of the obstacles to the use of these criteria, political
interference, pressure for large enrollment, concealing
the facts about applicatants, etc.
The National Committee for Mental Hygiene can, of course, not create or
define these criteria.
It can encourage effort in this
direction, act as an intermediary and clearing house for
information, and expose the obstacles to good selection.
The colleges and normal schools are the laboratories
where new ways will be found. Insofar as our present
gross criteria are applied diligently, the refinements
of selection will follow.
"The National Committee for Mental Hygiene would
like to bring together and lend its sanction to those
schools that are interested in taking active steps in
the refinement of selection.
It is hereby inviting
such schools as may wish to enter into the project, to
formulate a practical experiment in some phase of selection which it can pursue diligently and continuously.
The National Committee for Mental Hygiene as its part
will give expressed sanction to those scnools that participate, will secure helpful criticism for the guidance
of such studies, will bring related studies into mutual
contact or collaboration, and will attempt to bring the
results to practical use. Will you not let us have a
letter expressing what you as a school are in a position
to work on? This may have to do with the preliminary
investigation of applicants, with their examination for
admission, their follow-up after acceptance, with the
obstacles to the use of what you already know to do, or
any other phase that may appeal to you as important."
-1087-
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor P.iemer it
was voted that this matter be referred to the Committee on
Entrance Requirements for study.

Regulations pe rta ini ng to the
opera tio n of 16 mm proj ecti ng
machines
Doctor Klonower read the following letter received by
Doctor Ade under date of September 9, 1936 from Honorable Ralph
M. Bashore, Secretary of Labor and Industry:
"In reply to your letter of September 3,
in which you request certain information relative
to the operation of 16 ram projection machines,
our regulations governing the operation of motion
picture projectors provide that all persons who
operate projectors must either secure a license
or registration card which is issued by this
Department
"Due to the extensive use of 16 ram projectors for classroom instruction purposes, our
regulations have been modified so as to permit
the issuance of a registration card covering
both silent and sound projectors. This registration card covers the operation of 16 mm projectors
with sound equipment for classroom instruction purposes only.
If a projector with sound equipment is
used for public exhibitions, the applicant must
successfully pass an examination before the license
card will be issued.
There is no fee charged for
the registration card for classroom instruction
purposes.
"These licenses and registration cards are
issued by the Buildings Division of this Department
from whom the applicants can secure the necessary
application forms and other information.
"We have issued registration cards to a
large nunber of pupils of the various state teachers
colleges who have taken a post-graduate course in
visual education.

Uni form i nterpretation of the words
"begin their pr ofessional ej^9i1j.^g n_
for teaching in the elementary

Doctor Klonower stated that the interpretation has been that
a year of preparation indicates that a teacher has begun her preparation before January 1, 1937.
Doctor Ade suggested that it is matriculation in an approved
institution and suggested that perhaps one semester Flight be the
minimum.
On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Mr. Swope, it was
voted that the phrase "begin their professional education for
teaching in the elementary schools subsequent to January 1, 1937"
be given its strictest interpretation and that all students who
have completed any amount of preparation be allowed to qualify
for the State standard limited certificate on the basis of the
two-year requirement.

Report of the Ourricular Revision Committee
•1093-
1.
A uniform table for reporting all
laboratory courses to the American
Association of Teachers Colleges
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision
Committee, submitted the following report of the Committee:
"Report of the Curriculum Revision Committee
Regarding: A Uniform Method of Computing Equivalence of
Recitation Periods in Reporting Teaching Loai
to the American Association of Teachers Colleges
Standard V
-
Teaching Load of Faculty.
The following teaching load shall be the maximum for a
teachers college or normal school faculty: 16 recitation periods
Equivalence
not exceeding 60 minutes each week or its equivalent.
shall be based upon the ratio of one class period to one and onehalf class periods in shop, laboratory work and physical education.
In the courses offered in the elementary, secondary, and the
special curriculum, the ratio between clock hours and semester hours for
different courses varies widely from the uniform two to one ratio
generally accepted for laboratory work.
Since there appears to be
variation in computing equivalence, this Committee recommends that the
following table be used for reporting faculty load to the American
Association of Teachers Colleges until Standard V quoted above is revised.

If a student pursuing any part of the basic two years for any
reason found himself unfit for teaching or is found to be unfit for
teaching, he could transfer to another institution with a minimum loss of
credit.
It was brought out that this revision should be put into effect
in the fall of 1937 and should be completed in sufficient time so that the
announcement could be made in the 1937 catalogs of the institutions.
Doctor Steele emphasized the fact that the proposal is not an
attempt to set up a junior college situation as such.
It is believed that
a more efficient and more productive type of professional education may be
given with a basic background of this type. The professional work of which
there is a very small amount compared ;dth the present two years is designed
to be of equal value to all citizens, yet particularly valuable to the
prospective teacher. The purpose is not to get into the liberal arts field
but to meet the criticism that there is an over-amount of professional
courses and a scarcity of content courses in the present set-up.
It v.as brought put that no modification in the law is required to
put this revision of the first two years of the curriculum into effect and
that the sole purpose of the revision is to present an enriched academic
background in the early period of teacher education. For that purpose
there is presented a curriculum that transfers some of the professional
courses to the last two years and transfers some of the academic and
cultural courses from the last two years to the first two years.
-1097-
Doctor Rowland raised a question as to whether the
Committee had thought of reducing the number of required courses
and increasing the number of elective courses in order to allow the
student greater freedom in the selection of courses of particular
interest.
Doctor Steele replied that the Committee had attempted to
avoid an approach to this problem that would come from the building
The Committee felt that in
up of demands from interested groups.
the sixty-four semester hours remaining in the last two years there
would be ample opportunity for the student to gradually enrich the
elective offerings.
Doctor Rowland asked whether there is going to be any
movement to modify the law which requires the State Teachers Colleges
to enroll only those students who sign an agreement to teach for two
years in Pennsylvania.
Doctor Klonower replied that the matter had been discussed
and that such a modification would be suggested at the next session
of the Legislature.
Doctor Steele again emphasized the fact that this modification in the law is not necessary to set up the proposed revision
since it is not the intention to set up a junior college situation.
However, such a modification would give the State Teachers Colleges
two years during which it could be determined whether the student is
fitted for the teaching profession.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Rowland it
was voted that the report be subjected to the most careful study by
the members of the Board and by the faculties of the institutions
and that a report in writing be made to the Committee not later than
December 10, the report from each institution to indicate suggested
changes in the set-up or raise questions concerning the proposed set-up.
Doctor Steele further suggested that the Committee would
like to emphasize the fact that, if suggested additions to the curriculum are made, suggestions also be made as to the courses to be
eliminated which would profitably make room for the additions.
Doctor Klonower stated that these two years must be studied
in connection with the remaining two years of the present four-year
curriculum.

Doctor Steele stated that the Committee had not yet
attempted to revise the third and fourth years of the curriculum
since this is bound up so closely with the proposed revision of
the first t^o years.

The English- Speech Curriculum
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision
Committee presented the following report of the Committee:
"Report of the Curriculum Revision Committee
Regarding:
Speech Curriculum
The Curriculum Revision Committee believes that in certain areas
of the State there is need for an additional elective field to be
known as SPEECH, this field to be comparable to the elective fields
now offered in the secondary curriculum as English, Science,
Mathematics, Geography, etc.
Speech will be open as an elective field
-
first
-
to students pursuing the Secondary Curriculum to be administered on the same basis as existing
fields in this curriculum
second
-
to students in the Elementary Curriculum as free electives during the course of the curriculum
and/or subsequent to graduation. When a minimum of
18 semester hours of work in Speech has been completed,
holders of the college certificate valid in the
elementary field may have SPEECH added to the
certificate.

The Curriculum Committee recommends to the Beard of presidents:
1.
That an elective field in Speech as outlined above be
added to the curriculum.
2.
That authority to offer work in Speech may be given to
the State Teachers Colleges by the State Superintendent
on satisfactory evidence a.
That a demand for teachers in Speech exists
in the area served by the Teachers College
b.
That the facilities, equipment, and staff of
the College are adequate and competent to
carry on this work on a high degree of
efficiency. Proper preparation in the field
to be at least the Master's degree or its
equivalent in the fields of Speech or Dramatics,
such work to have been taken in a recognized
graduate school having special departments of
speech and dramatics.
The minimum equipment
shall include an audiometer and a speech
recording and reproducing instrument.

November 20, 1936
Doctor Steele added that the Committee in formulating
this report had covered practically every such curriculum offered
in a State Teachers College and in such institutions as Northwestern
University, Michigan and Iowa universities.
Doctor Rowland raised a question as to whether there will
be a demand on the part of school districts for teachers equipped
with this preparation which would justify the expense of operating
such
.an
additional elective field.
It was trough t out that such a demand must exist before
the State Superintendent of Public Instruction would approve the
offering of this work in any institution.
Doctor Steele also stated that the Committee felt that
such a demand does exist.
Doctor Haas asked what the cost of the "minimum equipment"
would be.

Doctor Rohrbach replied that the cost for equipment would
to $1000 plus one additional faculty member.
,;j80C
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Ross it -was
vote d that the report be studied carefully by each President and
their reactions sent to Doctor Steele by December 10 so that a further
report may be made at the next meeting of the Board.

Rearrangement of the elective

school teacners
Doctor Steele stated that this item

-1101-
had been placed on the
of some as to the extent
the common feeling that
given in any subject in
The Committee recommended that the catalogues of the
State Teachers Colleges indicate the required courses in the several
fields as well as the elective opportunities; the fact should be
clearly developed in tne catalogues that although eighteen semester
hours are required as a major there are still eighteen hours to be
completed as required work for certification in the field. This
should be noted in the catalogues and the requirement indicated as
thirty- six semester hours rather than eighteen semester hours. This
same plan should be followed for all the other subjects in the.
secondary field.
The Committee recommends that the catalogues of the State
Teachers Colleges follow the following arrangement of courses offered
in the secondary curriculum:
1.
Courses required of all candidates for a degree
in the State Teachers Colleges

*For complete report see pages 1121-1122.
It was suggested that tne State Council of Education should
be asked to increase the certification requirements to conform with
the requirements for graduation.

Revision of the Health Education
Curriculum
Doctor Steele submitted the following report of the
Curricular Revision Committee:
"Report of the Curriculum Revision Committee
Regarding:
Adjustments and Changes in Speci al Curricula
Since the four year curriculum in Health and physical
Education was approved in 1928, certain changes in the thinking
and practice in this field have been recommended by the Department
of School Health and Physical Education of the National Education
Association and other accrediting agencies.
It seems wise to this committee, therefore, to suggest
to the Board of Presidents that the heads of the special departments
of Health and Physical Education together with the Presidents of the
institutions in which such a curriculum is offered, constitute a
committee to advise the Curriculum Revision Committee of the changes
needed.
-1102-
The Curriculum Revision Committee recommends that it be
authorized to report subsequently to the Board of presidents
changes agreed upon by the heads of the special departments and
the presidents of the colleges concerned in order that the
Health and Physical Education curriculum may be brought into line
with approved present practice.
Respectfully submitted,
November 20, 1956
Curriculum Revision Committee
T. T. Allen
Q,. A. W. Rohrbach
Henry Klonower
Robert M. Steele, Chairman"
On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Armstrong
unanimously vote d that the report be accepted for study by
the heads of the Departments and the Presidents and that' their
reactions be submitted to the Committee prior to the next meeting
it was
of the Board.
It was furtner suggested that Doctor Klonower call a
meeting of the Heads of the Departments of Health Education and the
Presidents of the institutions in which this special curriculum is
offered.
Doctor Rohrbach suggested that all special curricula be
studied in this way.
8.
Quality Point System and
Periods
Test-
Doctor Steele submitted the following report for the
Curricular Revision Committee;
"Report of the Curriculum Revision Committee
Regarding:
Quality P oi nt Systems, Test Periods, etc
.
Following an informal discussion at the last meeting of the
Board of Presidents, an inquiry was sent to the members of the Board
requesting certain information regarding the grading systems in use,
the test periods, and specific scholarship requirements for student
teaching, secondary majors, et cetera. A tabulation of the information secured is furnished herewith.
The Curriculum Committee calls attention to extracts from
Section 2005 of the School Laws:
-1105-
'The Board of Presidents of the State Teachers
Colleges shall consist of the presidents of the
several colleges and the Superintendent of Public
Instruction
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 shall, when approved by
the Superintendent of Public Instruction, be
binding upon all of the colleges.'
.
.
In view of the extent to which quality point systems or
other specific scholastic requirements are used in the various
Teachers Colleges, and further in view of the questions raise:!
regarding the legality of such individual requirements, the
Curriculum Revision Committee recommends to the Board a careful
study of rating systems based on objective tests.
It recommends further, with the purpose of guaranteeing
a minimum quality of instruction in the various courses, that
the Board study the possibilities of developing uniform objective
tests which may be used to supplement tests now in use.
The Committee recommends that experimental work in
preparing such uniform tests begin with two subjects, one
professional and one academic, and the Committee requests the
authority of the Board to proceed with this work.
respectfully submitted,
Curriculum Revision Committee

On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Riemer
it was voted that the complete report of the Curricular Revision

In connection with the discussion of tests, Doctor Klonower

Report of committee re "recogni tion
by the Mid d e States Associat ion "
Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the Committee, submitted the
following report:
"Report of the Committee on Recognition of the
State Teachers Colleges by the Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Middle States
and Maryland
to
The Board of Presidents
November £1, 1936
Gentlemen:
As previously reported to you, the special committee
appointed by the Association to set up standards for accreditment for the State Teachers Colleges, will meet prior to the
annual meeting of the Association following Thanksgiving, and
will report to the annual meeting, presumably presenting .the
standards submitted to this Board by the committee at a
previous meeting.
At that time it was suggested that your chairman secure
from each of the presidents a judgment of the application of
Standard V to his institution.
Standard V, it will be
remembered, deals v.ith the size, preparation and teaching load
of the faculty and suggests for a college of approximately 100
students in a single curriculum a faculty of at least 8 with a
corresponding increase in faculty for an increase in student
body.
It further suggests that the members of the faculty of
professorial rank should have at least two years of post
graduate study in tneir respective fields pursued in a recognized
graduate school; and finally that the teaching schedules should
,
-1108-
not exceed 16 hours per ueek per instructor and that classes of
more than 30 students be interpreted as endangering educational
efficiency.
The following is a table indicating the status of the
State Teachers Colleges with reference to these standards:

Adjustme nt of cooperative
teacher r e imburs ement for
t e bienn i rn, 1937-59
Doctor Miller, Chairman of the Budget Committee, submitted
the following report for the Committee:
"Report of the Budget Committee
The Budget Committee recommends that a change be made in the
method of payment of cooperative teachers effective the beginning of
the next biennium.
The Committee recommends that all cooperative
teachers be paid on the basis of a unit of service as follows:
1.
A unit of servi3e is to be interpreted
as the assignment of one student teacher
per cooperative teacher for one period a
day for one semester.
2.
That cooperative teachers shall be paid an
initial salary of $25 per unit of service
wi,th increments of $5 per year until a
maximum of ^50 per unit is reached.
The
salaries of present cooperative teachers
will be adjusted on the basis of past
experience a^s. cooperative teachers within
the institution.

Q,.
C. S. Miller, Chairman"
November 20, 1936
Doctor Rowland stated he had taKen the matter up with
his cooperative teacners and that they had two principal objections
to the plan; first, that there is no provision for increments
based on advanced preparation, and second, that the amount of $25
per unit of service is inadequate.
There was considerable discussion concerning the definition
of the "unit of service" and there appeared to be considerable lack
of uniformity in the interpretation of this definition.
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Rowland it
was voted that the report be referred back to the Budfeet Committee
for furtner clarification and report at the next meeting of the
Board.
Doctor Rowland emphasized the fact that there are two
factors which should seriously be considered before putting such
a plan into effect; first, the good will of the community and
second, tne relationship of professional growth to the increments
of salary.

Doctor ivlonower stated that he had sent a letter to each
President explaining the procedure of the employment and payment of
private studio teachers in the field of music.
This represented
an informal opinion of the Attorney General's Office. It was
brought out that there appeared to be no difficulty concerning the
administration of this plan.
B.

to pay fees in ad van ce
Doctor Klonov.er stated that Mr. Jaotcson E. Scarl, Director
of tne Bureau of Institutional Collections, Department of Revenue,

Doctor Klonower read a Memorandum of Agreement and
warrant of Attorney to Confess Judgment suggested by Mr. Scarl as
a solution of the problem.
It was brought out that no such stringent methods should be
necessary since the Fee Schedule provides that all fees must be paid
in advance and, in cases v;here the student is allov/ed to continue for
a time without the payment of fees, unless payment is made within a
reasonable time he is dropped from the school.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Hill it was
voted that the matter be referred to the Fee Committee for study.

n the fields of
Doctor Klonower stated that this question grew out of the
study made sometime ago where it was brought out that only fifty
per cent of the stuaents in the State Teachers Colleges had had
previous training in music before entering the institutions, although
the School Code specifically provides for the teaching of music and
art as subjects of the elementary curriculum.
Doctor Haas suggested that a prerequisite might be set up
which would allow only those students who had had these subjects in
the elementary or high school to enter the State Teachers Colleges.
Doctor Ade suggested that Doctor Klonower gather the facts
in the matter and present them before the Administrative Council of
the Department of Public Instruction to see what the Department could
do to help.
On motion of Doctor Tanger, seconded by Doctor Miller it
was voted that the matter be referred to the Committee on Entrance
Requirements for study.
Doctor Rowland stated that a prerequisite as suggested by
Doctor Haas would enforce the demands of the Department of Public
Instruction

F
S ervice area in-service t eacher
education and supervisors
Doctor Cressman, Director of the Bureau of Instruction,
appeared before the Board to present an experimental program for
the improvement of instruction in the secondary schools.
In this
program the State Teachers Colleges ,»ould cooperate with the
Bureau of Instruction by furnishing specialists in the various
subject fields to go into the high schools as "visitors." These
persons might spend a full day going over the high school and, at the
the end of the day, meet the high school teacher of the particular
subject and go over problems with him.
The reports of the persons
acting as "visitors" from the Bureau of Instruction and from the
State Teachers College in the service area of the high school
would then be combined and sent to the high school.
r
a discussion of the expenses involved on the part of
these instructors in the State Teachers colleges brought out
the fact that such expenses should be borne by the high school
which invites the instructor to visit the school.
Doctor hlonower stated that a detailed statement of
the program would be prepared by Doctor Cressman and distributed
to each member of the Board for study and that the item would be
continued on the docket for the next meeting of the Board in
January
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Tanger
it was voted that such a specific statement be furnished to each
President for nis reaction.

The possibilities of securing
Federal aid for the State
Teachers Colleges under the
new vocational education set-up

possible to subsidize commercial education and industrial arts
in tne State Teachers Colleges.
Doctor Cressman stated that the law does not provide
He stated that
for the reimbursement of commercial education.
there is ^900,000 which is available for "occupations."
Doctor Klonower raised a question concerning the
availability of money for nursery school situations.
Doctor Cressman stated that the funds could not be
used to cover nursery school situations.
Doctor Ross raised a question concerning the establishment of a curriculum in agricultural education.
Doctor Klonower stated that there is only one
institution in Pennsylvania approved for this field and that
is the Pennsylvania State College.
It was brought out that these subsidies could be
used only in part payment of teachers' salaries and would not
provide for equipment.

Doctor Klonower reminded the Presidents that Doctor Haas
and Mr. McClure and
he had been appointed by the Association of
-1117-
Trustees of the Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges as a
committee to prepare a simple statement concerning the fiscal
affairs of the State Teachers Colleges.
He stated that the Committee wished to report progress
and expressed the desire that the item be continued on the docket.
On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Steele
it was voted that the report of the committee be accepted.
K.
The development of cooperative film
libraries in the State Teachers Colleges
Doctor Klonov.er stated that a letter had been sent to
each President with reference to the development of cooperative
film libraries in response to a request of the United States
Office of Education for a composite report on this phase of
activities in the State Teachers Colleges. He stated that it is
thought that Pennsylvania might be designated as the model state
in this matter and that some help in the form of films might be
available from the Office of Education.
Doctor Miller suggested that Doctor Rowland send a copy
of his report to Doctor Klonower to each President for his guidance.
Doctor Fausold suggested that the Presidents might request
that sound films be purchased by the State Library to supplement the
programs developed in the State Teachers Colleges.

Miscellaneous
A.
Fee to cover breakage
Doctor Rohrbach asked how the Presidents handle breakage
He suggested that a breakage
in their particular institution.
deposit might be set up.
Doctor Haas stated that this matter had been discussed
several times and it was felt that the amount of machinery
necessary to set up in order to secure refunds after deposits
were mad^ was too great to be worth the effort.
He stated that
funds to cover breakage had been included in the contingent fee.
On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Mr. Swope it
was voted that the Fee Committee be instructed to present a report
at the next meeting of the Board with respect to the advisability
of exacting a fee to cover breakage and damage.
Presidents Allen, Haas, Riemer and Tanger voted "no" on
this motion.

Report of the Curriculum Revision Committer
Rearrangement of Elective

Teachers Colleges of Pennsylvania contain an announcement of the
arrangement of the required and elective courses in each field of
concentration offered in the secondary curriculum so as to show
clearly the number of semester hours of work completed in each field
before certification.
The following is suggested as a pattern for such an
arrangement:

Mr. Wagner opened the meeting ftith a short address of welcome.
1.
Evaluation criteria in connection with students who completed the
first two years of the four-year curriculum in elementary education
and then desire to return to complete the requirements for secondary
certification.
Dean Menhennett suggested that it is the present general
practice to require those wno complete the first two years
of the four-year curriculum in elementary education and
then desire to transfer to a secondary curriculum to complete all of the remaining courses in the secondary
curriculum as set up by the Board of Presidents of tne
State Teachers Colleges. He suggested, however, that
something should be done along the same line as is now
the practice in connection with the extension of a
secondary certificate to include teaching in the elementary
grades.
Mr. Bowiban explained that under an old Department ruling, the
holder of a normal school certificate or diploma who has earned
his college degree, is credited with the fulfillment of the
requirements in professional education and student teaching for
the provisional college certificate to teach high school subjects.
Dean Sutliff stated that it was a practice in his institution to
regard holders of a degree in elementary education with, six
semester hours in secondary education, six semester hours of
student teaching in the secondary field and eighteen semester
hours in a particular subject field qualified to teach the subject.
Dean Belknap raised the question as to the status of credit for
student teaching completed years ago when the present institutions
were state normal schools. Particularly, would such teaching be
granted secondary credit provided the work was done above the
sixth grade? Reply was made by Mr. Bowman ta the effect that it
was the practice to grant full credit for such student teaching.
Another point presented by Dean Sutliff refers specifically to the
cases of young people who have completed two years and then for
economic reasons must drop out of college. These students come
back to the institution for summer school or Saturday classes and
wish to earn all possible credits toward a degree in the secondary
field and yet meet the twelve semester hours for the renewal of
the state standard limited certificates they hold.
In b*4ef they
are trying to remain in service in the elementary field with the
thought of earning sufficient money gradually to complete the
requirements for a degree in secondary education. The discussion
that followed pointed clearly to the fact that regardless of the
motive of the student there was no way whereby the regulations of
the state Council of Education could be waived with respect to
offering a preparation for renewal purposes other than through
courses that would originally be approved for meeting the requirements for a degree in elementary education.
,
Mr. Wagner stated that considerable difficulty was being experienced
with the administration of the renewal requirements for a state
standard limited certificate. Even though considerable thought was
given to the general plan for the renewal of such certificates at
the time the new requirements were announced, and a continuous
effort has been made ever since to acquaint students with such
requirements, there are still many applicants who seem to understand
that it is simply a matter of completing twelve additional semester
hours in any field in order to meet the requirements.
It is obvious
that when a transcript is offered representing the completion of
twelve hours of college work that has little relation to elementary
certification, that embarrassing problems will result. He urged the
-2-
Deans to bring to the attention of students the information that in the selection of the courses for renewal purposes
such courses should be chosen from the third year in a
standard elementary curriculum and then from the fourth
year or in such combination of the third and fourth years
as will be easily administered by the respective institution.
Dean Wheatly asked whether an applicant who has completed
eighty semester hours before beginning to teach would be
credited with tvtelve semester hours for a first renewal,
He stated further
Mr, Wagner answered in the affirmative.
that three-year people are credited toward renewals until
their credits are exhausted.
11.
Credit for Teaching experience under the action of the Board of Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges, as of May 30, 1936.
A few of the Deans reported projects under way which have
been organized in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of the action of the Board of Presidents of May 20,
1936.
There did not seem to be sufficient experience, however, to draw any definite conclusions as to the degree of
success that will attend the plan.
The discussion under this item centered mostly in the problem
controlling the number of hours in student teaching or in any
other field that would be accepted during a single semester.
Since most of the applicants offering substitute plans to
meet the student teaching requirement are rather mature and
are teachers- in- service, there is a temptation to try to
remove this particular requirement in the shortest possible
The teachers colleges are in a position to control the
time.
situation but it seems to be the experience of a number of these
institutions that when certain teachers- in-service are not
able to accomplish their ends through the completion of more
than six semester hours a semester, they apply to other institutions where a more sympathetic view is taken of their problem.
In a checking over of the position taken by the group present
it was found that in general they all adhere strictly to the
per semester standard*
In a few instances the institution
was willing to permit seven semester hours if such resulted
in completing iaf full the requirements for certification.
III. Principles governing the use of substitute courses, particularly as
applied to admissions on transfer from other institutions.
a.
All courses used for credit when transferring from
another institution to a State Teachers College
shall be from properly accredited institutions only.
-3-
b.
Courses generally similar in character shall be
accepted to the extent of the value given in
the curriculum in the State Teachers College.
c.
Credit shall be granted hour for hour for closelyrelated courses. For example, a course in advanced
physics completed in a non- State Teachers College
may be accepted for the same number of hours in an
appropriate course in a State Teachers College.
Mr. VTagner stated that in all cases of applicants who completed the normal school work some years ago credit for only
one course in psychology was given. He took this position
for the reason that graduates from a State Teachers College
today should have a modern viewpoint in the field of
psychology. He stated further that there was frequently a
question as to the wisdom of accepting School Management as
Since the latter
a substitute for Introduction to Teaching.
course as is given today is so rich in its content with
respect to meeting modern classroom practice, there was
doubt in his mind about accepting the course in School
Management of some years agoi
IV.
Problems associated with the administration of the Post-Session.
Each Dean reported rather fully his experience with the
administration of the Post-Session. It was the general
opinion of those present that the intensive courses given
during the three weeks of the Post-Session, with three
semester hours of credit, had higher qualitative value than
when given for the same amount of credit during a regular
semester.
Dean Dilworth suggested that the chief problem met in his
institution was the matter of sufficient money to operate
on a satisfactory basis.
No class was permitted to be
organized unless there was a minimum of ten students. This
statement was supplemented by President Rowland who reported
that it was his understanding that in one institution at
least ten people were grouped in one class but were taking
five different courses at the same time under the same
instructor.
It was also stated by him that the Board of
Presidents has taken the position that the summer school is
a part of the total instructional service and financially
may cost more than the revenue derived.
The meeting was now adjourned until one o'clock.
V.
Proper sequence in connection with the twelve semester hours required
to renew a State Standard Limited Certificate,
A number of problems are arising in connection with the
carrying out of the requirements of the State Council of
Education with respect to the twelve semester hours required
-4-
Summing up the various opinions
to renew the certificate.
of the Deans it seemed to be the general feeling that it will
not be possible to adhere strictly to the letter of the
regulations with respect to each applicant placing on file a
certified statement that the twelve semester hours offered
are part of the third and fourth years, respectively, of an
approved degree curriculum in elementary education. In other
words, it was felt that the administration of this provision of
the regulations would have to be to a great degree a matter of
judgment. With all the publicity that has thus far been given
to the conditions on which such a certificate will be initially
issued and subsequently renewed, the great majority of applicants do not seem to have grasped in full the significance of
It was therefore concluded that until more
the regulation.
experience is available on the working out of this certificate,
the matter of judgment will have to play the leading role.
Dean Naegle reported that there is evidence almost every day in
his institution that the students are expecting to be more
restricted in the matter of choosing courses. More and more
they are inquiring whether or not certain courses will be
accepted toward a degree in the particular curriculum in which
they are interested.
Dean Sutliff suggested that it would be a good plan for all
institutions to include in their latest catalogue a statement
with respect to the revised regulations governing the issue of
a state standard limited certificate, effective as of January 1,
1937.
VI.
The normal school certificate as a basis for meeting student teaching in
the secondary field.
On the basis of an interpretation made by the Teacher Bureau,
January 21, 1924, a normal school graduate is credited with
the fulfillment of the twelve semester hours in professional
education and six semester hours in student teaching required
for the provisional college certificate.
This is a general
practice which it was felt should be modified. It was the
opinion of Mr. Bowman that a normal school graduate who has
completed six semester hours in student teaching in grades
above the sixth should be credited with the fulfillment of
the student teaching required for the provisional college certificate to teach high school subjects. Normal school graduates
who have not had this required student teaching should be required
to complete an additional course in this field to qualify for the
college certificate to teach high school subjects. It is understood, of course, that actual teaching experience in grades above
-5-
the sixth may he accepted in discharge of the student teaching
required for the college certificate to teach high school
subjects.
The difficulty that arises in following some such practice
as suggested above, is that the records of normal school
graduates in the Registrar's office do not indicate in what
grades a graduate completed his student teaching,
VII.
Minimum requirements for adding specific high school subjects to a
secondary certificate.
In the opinion of Mr. Bowman the present practice of adding
high school subjects has certain weaknesses which should be
corrected. For example, it is possible to obtain certification to teach physics with as little as three semester hours
in physics.
To correct this difficulty a differential between
the minimum requirements in different subject fields should be
made. For example, physical science could be added to a
college certificate on a minimum of eighteen semester hours in
physical science including at least six semester hours in
chemistry and six semester hours in physics, and biological
science on the same minimum requirement including at least six
semester hours in botany and six semester hours in zoology.
Blanket certification to teach science would be added to a
college certificate on a minimum of thirty semester hours of
college preparation in the subject including certain prescribed
minimums.
Also, certification in the field of social studies is frequently
the basis of misunderstanding. Mr. Bowman stated that in few
instances certain courses have been used to satisfy both the
history and the social science requirements for a blanket certification in the field of social studies. There must be a
minimum, however, of nine semester hours in history and nine
semester hours in social science. Twelve semester hours in
social science and six semester hours in history will not
satisfy the requirement.
VIII.
How can the Teacher Education and Certification Office be more helpful
to Deans of Instruction?
In the opinion of Dean Sutliff one of the best services rendered
by the Teacher Education Office is in the matter of making final
decisions with respect to individual cases.
Such decisions
coming from a single source strengthens the seojyice.
Dean Belknap contrasted the type of service received from the
Pennsylvania Department -of Education with that of other states.
Mr, Wagner stated that it was a policy of the office to send
-6-
v:r;.
to the institutions a carbon copy of all correspondence
initiated by students in the several institutions who were
not satisfied with decisions made in the local office.
IX.
Some problems in connection with an increasing trend in the direction
of a more selective admission requirement.
Among the items discussed were the problems of the limitation
of enrollment as related to the scholastically poor student,
the problem of crippled applicants who are otherwise very good
students, and the personality problem.
Dean Dilworth raised
the question as to whether or not an institution may refuse to
accept a perfectly normal student who has a high school certificate.
X.
Miscellaneous problems to be presented by individual Deans*
Dean Wheatly asked whether Technique of Teaching is a required
course.
Some bulletins, he stated, do not list it as such.
The answer was that the course is required %
Dean Sutliff stated that the secondary students teach the
entire year and once a week have technique work given by
the instructor who supervises their daily work.
Dean Menhennett added that the supervisor for teaching checks
all technique.
Dean McClelland brought to the attention of the meeting a problem
in connection with the four semester-hour course in the Philosophy
of Education. He stated that it included a good bit of theory
that is crammed for in order to pass an examination and then
quickly disappears. Also, he raised the question about the twohour provision for a course in Tests and Measurements, the time
being entirely too limited to give the student any satisfactory
compensation of the subject. He suggested that these problems
should be brought to the attention of the Curricular Revision
Committee of the Board of Presidents.
Dean Wheatly asked whether a provisional college certificate
in the secondary field could be made permanent by the addition
of elementary subjects with no other six hours of preparation,
The reply was made by Mr. Bowman that such could be done.
If
the six additional hours of work were completed subsequent to
the granting of the baccalaureate degree, the requirements for
permanent certification would be satisfied,
The meeting was formally adjourned at three o'clock.

"Report of the Curriculum Revision Committee
Regarding: - SPEECH CURRICULUM
The Curriculum Revision Committee believes that in
certain areas of the State there is need for an additional
elective field to be knov.n as SPEECH, this field to be comparable
to the elective fields now offered in the secondary curriculum as
English, Science, Mathematics, Geography, etc.
Speech should be open as an elective field
-
first - to students pursuing the Secondary
Curriculum to be administered on the same basis
as existing fields in this curri culum;
second
-
to students in the Elementary Curriculum as free electives during the course of
the curriculum and/or subsequent to
graduation. When a minimum of 18 semester
hours of work in Speech has been completed,
holders of a college certificate valid in
the elementary field may have SPEECH added
to the certificate.

3.
The content and arrangement of the
fourth year of the elementary curriculum for students who have
secured the State Standard Limited
Certificate on a three year basis
and have had teaching experience
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision
Committee, submitted for discussion a report covering the basio
two years of the curriculum, the last two years of the elementary
curriculum and the last two years of the secondary curriculum.
It was brought out that the amount of professional work
in the curriculum should be gradually increased from, perhaps, one
course in the first year to practically entirely professional
courses in the last semester of the last year.
Doctor Rowland suggested the desirability of the basic
two years of education for many students v/ho decide upon graduation
from high school to enter the teaching profession, and who, after a
course of time, may find that their choice was unwise. Since the
work of the first two years could be used for other purposes, the
time spent in a State Teachers College by such students would not
be lost.
Doctor Ade brought out the fact that this suggested
revision of the curriculum is formulated in terms of the fact that
the State Teachers Colleges will receive about the same amount of
money as they received during the last biennium. At any time that
additional money is received, the State Teachers Colleges could
then provide for large groups of students who are not especially
headed for the teaching profession.
-1126-
Doctor Allen stated that it would cost no more to
administer the sixty-eight semester hours in the revised two
years of the curriculum than it would to administer the sixtyeight semester hours in the present first two years of the
curriculum.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor
Steele it was unanimously voted that each President express
his reaction to the curriculum as presented, that the Curricular
Revision Committee give consideration to all suggestions during
the period of adjournment for luncheon, and that a revised report
be submitted when the Board reconvenes for the afternoon session.
The Board adjourned for luncheon at 12:15 and reconvened at 1:30 o'clock.
Doctor Steele stated that the committee had considered
all the suggestions made around the Board and desires to present
the following revised report, which it is believed will meet in
spirit most of the suggestions and criticisms which were made:

Mr. Swope raised certain questions with reference to the
inclusion of the course in Principles of Geography and pointed out
certain facts with reference to the number of English courses prescribed.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Haas it was
voted that the report be adopted.
Mr.
Swope voted "no".
On motion of Doctor Ro7/land, seconded by Doctor Haas it was
unanimously voted that the recommendation requiring each student to
carry an extra-curricular activity during one semester of each year
be modified as follows:
All students are required to take part,
without credit, in one physical education
activity each semester in which no physical
education courses or student teaching are
required; and one other extra-curricular
activity one semester each year.
-1130-
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular rtevision
Committee, presented the following recommendation;
"The Curricular Revision Committee requests
authority of this Board to act for the Board of
State Teachers College Presidents in approving
the required and elective courses in the FourYear Special Curriculums, such curriculums to
be worked out with the President of institutions
and heads of special curriculums concerned.
The Committee also requests authority to prepare
lists of required and elective courses in
secondary subject fields for publication in the
catalogs.
It is understood that these lists
will be developed from lists prepared by the
subject instructors in each college and submitted
T»y the President of each teachers college to this
Committee."
Doctor Steele stated that the elective offerings should
not be quite as narrow as they had been in the past.
In the social
science field, the list should include those courses that are
required in the curriculum, those additional courses which the
instructors concerned with the social science field think are
essential, and additional courses more than would be needed in any
one institution.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Ross it was
voted that the recommendation be adopted.
Doctor Steele presented the following report of the
Curricular Revision Committee;
"THE CURRICULUM
REVISION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS:
1.
That each student shall present as a requirement for
graduation from the Secondary Curriculum, at least
two subject fields for certification,
one of which
shall consist of not less than twenty- four semester
hours.
2.
That all courses carried in any subject matter field
shall be counted toward certification.
-1131-
3.
That the Board of Teachers College Presidents request
the State Council of Education to consider raising,
as soon as possible, the present eighteen semester
hour certification requirement in every subject
matter field to twenty-f our semester hours.

It was brought out that at the present time the students
in the State Teachers Colleges complete many more than the eighteen
semester hours of credit now required for certification. In
addition to the required courses in the curriculum which are not
counted toward graduation and certification, the student must complete the full eighteen semester hours required for certification.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Tanger it
was unanimously voted that the recommendation be adopted.

Salary Adjustments
Doctor Miller, Chairman of the Budget Committee, stated
that Doctor Haas wished to present a report of the sub-committee
on salary adjustments.
Doctor Haas submitted the following report:
"REPORT 01 SALARY ADJUSTMENT COMMITTEE'
The Salary Adjustment Committee presents, respectfully, the
following report for the consideration of the Board of Presidents
relative to the matter of adjusting the salaries of the present
instructional force in order to remove present inequalities of
salaries.
A review of the cases submitted by the various Presidents appears
to justify the consideration of two groups:
first, those who
were below th^ minimum to which they were entitled by training,
experience, and service within the institution at the time the
automatic operation of the Salary Schedule was suspended and
second, those who since the time the automatic operation of the
Salary Schedule was suspended have been transferred to a type of
service within the institution which justifies a higher salary
than the work of the position from which the transfer was made.
-1135-
The Committee recommends that the Superintendent of Fublic
Instruction approve increases in accordance with the policies
stated above, provided the money is now available in the
budget of the institutions concerned for this purpose.

Doctor Rowland asked whether this recommendation would
cover the cases of persons who were added to the faculties subsequent to the "freezing" of the Salary Schedule at a point below
that to which they were entitled.
Doctor Haas answered that the recommendation would
cover such cases. He added that it covers all cases which the
committee felt were special cases, but does not approve them.
Doctor Reimer raised a question as to whether an adjusted
salary would be adjusted back to September or adjusted from the
present time.
It was decided that this is a matter for the Superintendent
to decide.
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Reimer it was
unanimously voted that the report be accepted and that the* Superintendent of Public Instruction be requested to approve special cases
covered by the report.

requirements of a four year curriculum.
Cooperative teachers shall be paid on
initial salary of $50 per unit of service.

a maximum of seventy-five dollars ($75.00)
is reached.

The salaries of present cooperative teachers
may be adjusted on the basis of past experience

Q. A.
Mr. Swope asked what happens to those cooperative teachers
who hold no degree.
Doctor Miller replied that those teachers would be paid
a salary of $50.00 per unit of service, but would receive no
increments until a bachelor* s degree had been earned.
-1137-
Doctor Allen raised a question as to whether this matter
would have to be referred to the Executive Board for approval.
Doctor Haas stated that, if the salaries provided in the
plan are below the present approved Salary Schedule, he felt that
the change could be made without presenting the matter to the
Executive Board.
Doctor Fausold stated that some of his salaries for
cooperative teachers range from $1700 to &2950 and that he felt
that this plan for payment of cooperative teachers would work a
great hardship in his institution. He felt that salaries should
be leveled up rather than leveled down.
Doctor Haas stated that the schedule in effect at Indiana
is the same schedule under which all the institutions are operated.
The schedule provided that cooperative teachers should be paid $100
per year with an increment of ^100 per year. He adied that most of
the institutions cannot support such a schedule.
.
Doctor Fausold stated that he felt that this proposed
schedule would work out for some schools and for some areas, but
not for all areas. He added that the cooperative teachers in
Indiana Borough are practically the same as campus training
teachers and are expected to render service to the institution
in addition to the service rendered by cooperative teachers in
other school districts.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Tanger
voted that the report be laid on the table for discussion
at some future time.
it was
Doctor Allen asked if the solution might not be the
addition of a fourth paragraph to the report to the effect that
the plan shall not be retroactive.
Doctor Haas stated that, in his opinion, we have two typas
of situations.
There are situations in which the institution has
taken over a part of the town schools. The teachers in such schools
are not cooperative in the general sense.
4,
Ranking of faculty members
Doctor Miller presented the following report of the Budget
Committee:
-1138-
"REFORT OF THE BUDGET COIvMITTEE
The ranking of faculty members
Re:
January 15, 1937
The Budget Committee has considered carefully the question of
ranking of faculty members.
Such a plan will serve to prevent too large
instructors
a number of
from reaching the maximum salary and at the same
time, will offer the opportunity for professional advancement within the
institution. The committee, therefore, presents the following suggestions for your further consideration, with the idea that they will be
studied carefully by each President and acted upon at the next meeting
of the Board:
Each institution shall be entitled to a minimum
of eight full professorships.
The number with rank
of professors on a State Teachers College faculty
shall not exceed 25? of the total number of faculty
employed.
Each full time professor shall be entitled
to the salary as set up in Class I, providing he holds
the Doctor's degree and his educational qualifications
and experience entitle him to such salary classification.
1.
2.
The title of assistant professor shall be used to
designate those faculty members whose minimum educational qualifications and experience are such as to
entitle them to Class II of the classification schedule.
A classification known as instructor shall include
those whose educational training and experience shall
be at least the minimum required for Class III in the
salary classification schedule.
Such number shall not
exceed 15$ of the total number of faculty.

C.
E xchange teachers in student
teaching field
Doctor Tanger stated that he had brought up the subject
of exchange teachers in the student teaching field. He stated
that he had an opportunity to exchange one of his instructors for
a teacher from Scotland who had had no experience in the public
schools.
It was pointed out that since this requirement was a
part of the Salary Schedule approved by the Executive Board, the
exchange could not be made, unless the requirements of the
Salary Schedule were changed by the Executive Board.
While interest and sympathy were expressed for the
idea, it was felt that, perhaps, the experiments should be tried
in institutions other than the State Teachers Colleges until
some future time when the program could be considered again.
D.

Association of Teachers Colleges

Budgets
1937-59
-
Doctor Marion K. McKay, Financial Consultant of the

submitted and that the budgets, when passed through the Department, provided for the restoration of salaries to the instructors in the State Teachers Colleges.

Calendar
-
1957-38
Doctor Ross raised a question as to whether it would
be possible to open the college on the 14th of September rather
than September 7, 1957. He added that his reason for wishing to
do this was due to the late opening of the Erie Schools.
Doctor Haas, Chairman of the committee re ''Calendar",
stated that the uniform calendar had been adopted for the year
1937-38. He pointed out that one reason for the uniform calendar
was to make sure that each institution closed before May 31, the
end of the fiscal year.
It was decided that this problem should be referred to
the Calendar Committee for next year.
Doctor Haas called attention to an error in the Calendar
for 1937-38. The date for the beginning of the Christmas Recess
should be Wednesday, December 22, 1937, rather than Wednesday,
December 21, 1937.
-1142-
The Board adjourned at 3:50 o'clock.
Approved:

Committee, stated that he had not received reactions from the
members of the Board on the report which was presented to the

It was pointed out that a "D" in one institution might
mean a "B" in another.
Doctor Miller stated that he felt that this is one of
the problems in ranking standards for the institutions.
Doctor Rowland stated that he felt that there is danger
in overemphasizing the importance of high grades.
He added that
in the cooperative education group at the State Teachers College
at Shippensburg an experiment had been tried in grading students
only as "passing" or "failed."
Doctor Rohrbach suggested that a study be made of the
practice teaching marks in the State Teachers Colleges and the
liberal arts colleges.

On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Rowland
it was voted that Doctor Ross be requested by the Board to make
a study of the marking systems in the institutions and that in
this study the point be developed as to the number of students
who enter the freshman class and the number that graduate from
the curriculums.
Doctor Haas stated that he felt that, regardless of
the variation between institutions and individual teachers as
to grading, you have about the same percentage of graduation
from all the institutions.

On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Rowland it was
voted that the modification of the last two years of the elementary
curriculum known as the cooperative education program at the State
Teachers College, Shippensburg, be approved.
Doctor Steele then presented the following report of the
committee with reference to certain adjustments in the health education
curriculum which had been revised and approved before the final adoption
of the revised elementary and secondary curriculums, and also a report
covering the numbering of courses.
REPORT OF CURRICULUM REVISION COMMITTEE
Board of Presidents, State Teachers Colleges
Numbering of Courses
Inasmuch as in the new revision of our curricula there are a number of
subjects which appear in both first and second semesters under the same
titles such as English, Biological Science, Health Education and Physical
Science, the Committee recommends that these courses be numbered for the
purpose of reference and record keeping as follows:
English I
Biological Science
Health Education I
Physical Science I
I
English II
Biological Science II
Health Education II
Physical Science II
Health Education* Curriculum
Inasmuch as the Curriculum in Health and physical Education was adopted
at the same time as the basic two-year curriculum, the following minor
changes are recommended in order to bring it in line with that basic
curri culum:
1st Semester
"Library Science" should follow English
2nd Semester
The class hours of "Place and Purpose of Education in the
Social Order including School Visitation" should be changed
to read three clock hours instead of two clock hours.
This
would make a change in the total class hours for the second
semester from twenty-six to twenty-seven.
-1153-
5th Semeste r
The words "Economics or
;
'
should be omitted.
6th Semester
After "Principles of Sociology" should be added the words
"or Principles of Economies."
5th Semeste r
Descriptive Astronomy should be omitted and the Elective in
that semester increased to a "4 - 4."

On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Haas it
was voted that the major areas of concentration in these fields be
approved.
It was decided that the statement, "The demonstration of
competency to pursue a major in any area will be required" should
appear as a part of each area of concentration.
It was brought out that this statement did not necessarily
mean that the student must demonstrate competency before electing a
major but that the student must demonstrate competency in the major
area of concentration before being allowed to compbte the field.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Haas it was
voted that the following report of the Curricular Revision Committee
be adopted:
"AREAS OP CONCENTRATION IN THE SECOND lRY FIELD
Each prospective teacher enrolled in the secondary curriculum
is required to complete one field of at least twenty-four semester hours
and at least one field of not fewer than eighteen semester hours.
As early as possible in the student's enrollment he must
demonstrate competence in the fields chosen before permission is granted
to complete requirements for certification."
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Allen it
was voted that the revised curriculum go into effect September 1,
1937 and that all students already enrolled be adjusted to the new
curriculum as far and as rapidly as possible.
Doctor Haas stated that it is highly desirable that the
Deans of Instruction in the contemplated meeting discuss the problem
of the adjustment of students to the now curriculum.
The Board adjourned for luncheon at 12:15 and reconvened at
1:30 o'clock.

On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Rowland it
was voted that Mr, McClure be asked to appear before the Board at a
later date to discuss his statement on principles for the allocation
of funds.
Doctor Miller, Chairman of tho Budget Committee, stated
that the committee is not entirely satisfied with Mr. McClure'
Formula. He stated that a basic organization for all institutions
should be set up and the ratio of teachers to pupils established.
Doctor Killer .requested permission to send letters to the
members of the Board asking for a report from each institution within
the next two weeks. The committee will then report at the next meeting
of the Board.

Adjustment of cooperative
teacher reimbursement for the
biennium 1957-39
Doctor Miller presented the following report of the
Budget Committee:
"REPORT OP THE BUDGET COMMITTEE
Re:
The Paying of Cooperative Teachers
March 19, 1937
The budget committee recommends the adoption of the following plan
for the paying of Cooperative Teachers:
1. In order to provide for the educational needs of a State
Teachers College it is desirable that each institution
should support and control on the campus a laboratory-
demonstration school the teachers of which shall be paid
on the present State salary schedule.
2.
In order to provide for student teaching needs in addition
to those available on the campus, in agreement with other
school districts, each institution may employ teachers
known as 'cooperative teachers' who shall be paid according
to the following schedule, effective September 1, 1937.
This shall not be retroactive as lowering the salary of any
present employe.
a.
A unit of service is the amount of service required
from a cooperative teacher in order that a student
may meet the student teaching requirements of a
four-year curriculum.
b. Cooperative teachers shall be paid an initial
salary of $50 per unit of service.
Those holding
a Bachelor's degree shall be entitled to an
increment of five dollars ($5.00) per year per unit
of service until a maximum of seventy-five dollars
Those holding a Master's
($75.00) is reached.
degree shall be entitled to an increment of ten
dollars ($10.00) per year per unit of service
until a maximum of one hundred dollars ($100.00)
per unit is reached.
c.
With the approval of the State Superintendent of
Public Instruction the salaries of present demonstration
or cooperative teachers now employed may be adjusted
on the basis of past experience and salary."
-1160-
Doctor Hill raised a question concerning paragraph c.
He asked what would happen to a teacher who was^paid $250.00.
It was brought out that this person's salary could remain
the same or she might even be increased if she had three or four
students and the master's degree.
Doctor Fausold asked if the latter part of paragraph two
meant that those teachers paid a flat amount by the school district
and by the college will be retained at the same salary.
Doctor Miller stated that this is the case. He added that
the committee felt that it would be wiser not to upset the practice
teaching situation in the State by any great change in the salaries
received by cooperative teachers already employed.
Doctor Steele stated that he is heartily in favor of
the new plan for reimbursement. He stated, however, that it will
at least double the cost of cooperative teaching. Doctor Steele
added that a large number of his cooperative teachers are now
receiving $90. If they are adjusted to the new plan, they will
receive $200. Some of those receiving $90 a year will be entitled
to $400 and savings v/ill be effected only in the case of four or
five teachers.
Doctor Allen stated that the point is that some
institutions have cooperative teachers that are getting $600, $800,
$1,000 or even .^1,200 and have cooperative teachers who came in at
$90. The purpose is to wipe out these inequalities, at least in
part.
Doctor Ross stated that the Budget Committee in preparing
its report has decided not to pass onthe campus school teacher.
Doctor Ade pointed out that the report refers only to
off-campus teachers.
Doctor Steele suggested the addition of this sentence to
the report:
Teachers in the campus demonstration school shall
not be considered cooperative teachers.
Doctor Ade suggested that Doctor Klonower make a report as
to how this new plan of reimbursement will affect all schools next
year.
On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Rowland it
was unanimously voted that the report of the Budget Committee be
adopted as amended.

Ranking of fa culty
members
Doctor Miller presented the following report for the
Budget Committee:
"REPORT OF THE BUDGET COMMITTEE
Re:
The ranking of faculty members
March 19, 1937
The Budget Committee has considered carefully the question of
ranking of faculty members. It seems desirable at this time to make
known the salary situations and therefore the suggestions given will
serve to prevent too large a number of instructors from reaching the
maximum salary and at the same time, will offer the opportunity for
professional advancement within the institution. The Committee,
therefore, presents the following suggestions for your further
consideration, with the idea that they will be studied carefully by
each President and acted upon at the next meeting of the Board:
1.
Each institution shall be entitled to a minimum of eight
full professorships. The number with rank of professor
on a State Teachers College faculty shall not exceed 25$
of the total number of full time faculty employed on the
campus. Each full time professor shall be entitled to
the salary as set up in Class I, providing he holds the
educational qualifications and experience which entitle
him to such salary classification.
2. The title of assistant professor shall be used to designate
those faculty members whose minimum educational qualifications
and experience are such as to entitle them to Class II of the
classification schedule,
3.
A classification known as instructor shall include those
whose educational training and experience shall be at
least the minimum required for Class III in the salary
classification schedule. Such number shall not exceed
15% of the total number of faculty."
Doctor Miller requested that each member of the Board study
the report and submit a tabulation not later than April 15 of the
application of this plan to the faculty of each institution.

items. Following each numbered item is a sur;imary of the comments,
together with additional general comments.

.
MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT FOR STUDENTS UNABLE TO PAY FEES IN ADVANCE
Seven Presidents commented as follows: Five indicated no need for
change; Two suggested some simple legal fqrm of promissory note
to be signed by responsible persons.
Attention is called to the following statement of "Uniform Fees,
Deposits and Repayments in the State Teachors College - effective
June 1, 1933" to the effect that "The President of the institution
may, at his discretion, authorize payments not less than one month
The implication of this is clear
in advance to worthy studjnts."
to the effect that a student to remain in good standing must pay
the fees due in advance.
2. FEES FOR EXTENSION OR PART-TIME COURSES FOR OUT-OF-STATE STUDENTS.
Nine Presidents commented as follows: Five suggest increase on
basis of pro-rata of additional amount now charged for out-ofState students; Four because of absence of problem, no suggestions.
One suggestion was to the effect that $7.00 per semester hour be
charged for less than 15 semester hours.
3.
INCREASED COST FOR CONDUCTING THE DINING ROOM FOR THE NEXT BIENNIUM.
Seven Presidents commented as follows:
Three are opposed to any
increase; Four approve an increase because of increased living
costs.
-1163-
It would appear that the question is not merely one of raising the
fee but also of the effect of raising this fee on the total enrollment
4. FEE TO COVER BREAKAGE.
Wine Presidents commented as follows: Six approve a breakage
fee; Three oppose or question its value.
It should be noted that it was customary to charge a breakage fee
as well as laboratory fees for various courses previous to the
charging of the contingent fee and previous to the requirement
that fees collected must be turned into the general fund of the
Treasury. If a general breakage fee is charged everyone and not

addition to the above, the educational soundness of a general
breakage fee is questioned.
SUMMARY - No comments or suggestions have been received from five
members of the Board. On the basis of the returns received, the
Committee does not feel justified in making any suggestions. It
has no brief or any particular point of view and is ready to write
into proper form any policies approved by the Board."
Doctor Haas asked that the report be accepted and that the
Presidents submit to him their reaction on each item.
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Ross it was
voted that the report be accepted for study and that each member of
the Board submit his reacton to the report to Doctor Haas.
Doctor Ade requested that each member of the Board
cooperate with the chairmen of committees when requests are made for
information on committee" reports.
Doctor Ade raised a question concerning item one of the
report of the Fee Committee.
Doctor Haas stated that that item would not be a problem
since the Uniform Fees, Deposits and Repayments report which had been
adopted some time ago prohibited the admission of students unless
fees were paid in advance.
G. E valuation of credits fro m Stat e
Teachers Colleges for pr e-pr ofessional
purposes other than teaching
Doctor Klonower asked whether this should not be carried
on the docket until after the results of the present legislation
are determined with reference to the broadening of the fields of
service for the State Teachers Colleges.
-1164-
c.
Doctor Rohrbach stated that this remains a question
irrespective of legislation. It indicates that persons who
complete courses in the*State Teaclurs Colleges are still questioned
in comparison with the material offered in other institutions.
It was agreed that this item should be continued on the
docket and that Doc too? Newphor should bo asked to appear before
the Board to clarify the matter.
In this connection, copies of the Roberts Bill No. 191
wero distributed to the members of the Board.

Prerequisite s in th e fields
of music a nd art
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Haas it
was voted that these items be removed from the docket.
Doctor Rowland stated that a study completed at his
institution showed that fifty per cent of students had not had
previous courses in music and art.
Doctor Klonowor suggested that the Board consider the
adoption of a resolution whereby after 1933 no students would be
admitted who had not had training in these fields.
Doctor Steele stated that he felt that it would be wiser
to require that the students demonstrate competency in these fields
rather than require the completion of courses.
Doctor Fausold stated that legislation is now in process
which would enable the Superintendent of Public Instruction to
withhold appropriation fro. a those districts which did not provide
in the curriculum the subjects now required by law.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Rowland
item two be restored to the docket.
it was voted that

Doctor Rohrbach stated that he had requested that this
item be put on the docket in order to secure information from the
-1165-
.
Presidents. He asked if each institution spends what it can for
publications.
It was brought out that this question had been considered
by the Board some years ago.
Doctor Steele stated that some institutions live up to the
maximum of the number of pages, cuts, et cetera, allowed under this
policy while other institutions do not have the funds to do this.
Doctor Rohrbach stated that he understood that it is now
the policy of the Department to' allow each President to publish
what he wished.
On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Rohrbach
it was vot ed that the Superintendent of Public Instruction be
authorized to appoint a committee to review the entire matter of
publications
B« A long-term building program
for State T eache rs Colleges
Doctor Steele stated that he had requested that this item
be placed on the docket.
He added that the whole building set-up
has been left to the individual institution. He felt that it would
help if a competent committee were appointed to investigate our
building needs and, on the basis of that survey, this whole program
would likely be much more effectively advanced.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Mr. Swope it was
voted that this item be removed from the docket for the present.
C
.
Interpretation of the Salary
Schedule
Doctor Klon-.-wer read a portion of a memorandum from
Doctor Ade to Presidents of State Teachers Colleges and Heads of
Other State-Owned Educational Institutions under date of hlarch 15,
1937 as follows:
"No appointment will be approved at a salary
higher than the minimum salary rate of the
class."
Doctor Klonower pointed out that although this memorandum
referred specifically to non-instructional positions, it also applied
to instructional staff members.
Doctor Ade emphasized the fact that all appointments must
be made in terms of the Salary Schedule and no irregular salaries
will be approved. He asked that each President be extremely careful
in quoting salaries to prospective instructors and to be sure that
they are following the provisions of the Salary Schedule. All
appointments must be pre-approved.
-1166-
.
Doctor Ade suggested that Doctor Klonower draw up a
memorandum to the Pr3sidents with reference specifically to the
appointment of members of the instructional staff.
D. Printing of Entrance Forms
for the State Teachers Colleges
Doctor Steele stated that in the past California had
printed forms for practically every institution. Due to the
difficulty of securing the stock for this printing, he stated
that California would be unable to render this service.
Following the discussion it is understood that
requisitions for all printing will follow the normal course
through the Department of Public Instruction.
E
X-ray examina t ions and health
talks - Department of Health
Doctor Klonower read the following letter which was
received from Doctor Edith MacBride-Dexter, Secretary of Health,
under date of February 25, 1937:
"Not only are we sympathetic with the program of
tuberculosis discussion suggested in your letter of
January 26 but shall be veryglad to designate the
proper number of our staff to make appropriate talks
colleges at
to the students of the various teachers
the time these are visited for the purpose of case
finding.
Your communication also brings to mind a feeling which
we over here in the Health Department have had for a
long tine that it might be profitable to prospective
teachers and perhaps contribute to a somewhat more
successful control of communicable diseases in schools
if, some time during the Senior year, some of us might
have a chance to appear before the graduating class for
the purpose of discussing briefly communicable disease's,
what offers in the way of their prevention or limitation
and, more particularly, the responsibility of the teacher
in this connection and the ways in which he or she may be
of real service. It is possible that this ground is already
being covered by some member of the several College Faculties,
We take this opportunity of mentioning it, however, to pave
the way for such a program if it has not already been put
into effect by the schools themselves."
:,
Doctor Klonower added that the Department of Health has
two mobile units which could go to the State Teachers Colleges to
take the X-ray pictures, but, in addition, this work should be
-1167-

.
accompanied by talks on tuberculosis prevention. He suggested that
one or two institutions could serve in an experimental manmer. After
the difficulties of the project were worked out, the matter could
then be presented to the entire Board for further consideration.
Doctor Steele, Doctor Ross and Doctor Miller volunteered

F.
Con tinua nee of servi ce of
instr uctional staff f or the
ensuin g college year
Doctor Klonower stated that several members of the Board
had raised a question ith reference to the matter of the re-election
of members of the instructional staff.
_r
From the discussion around the Board, it appeared that
about half of the institutions re-elect members of the instructional
staff each year, while the other institutions do not re-elect staff
members each year. It also appeared that there was considerable
difference of opinion as to the status of instructors in the State
Teachers Colleges. Some members of the Board were of the opinion
that instructors are State employes and, as such, continue in
employment without re-election until dropped for some specific
reason. Other Presidents were of the opinion that the instructors
have the same status as that of teachers in the public schools.
'
It was decided that the Department of Public Instruction
should advise the members of the Board with reference to the status
of the instructional staff.
IV.
Miscellaneous
A. Meeting of the Deans of
Instruction
Doctor Klonower stated that a meeting of the Deans of
Instruction is being tentatively arranged for April 7, 1937.
B. Delegate to the Inauguration
of Doctor Fausold
Doctor Klonower stated that the inauguration of Doctor
Fausold as President of the State Teachers College at Indiana is
being arranged. The date has been tentatively set as May 6, 1937.
On motion of Doctor Allen, seconded by Doctor Rowland
was voted that the Superintendent be authorized to designate a
representative of the Board to speak at the inauguration exercises
of Doctor Fausold.
it
C
Change in Date of Board
Meeting .
-1168-
.
.
Doctor Rowland raised a question concerning the next meeting
of the Board which would regularly be held on May 21, 1937. Since this
is the day before the beginning of commencement activities in the State
Teachers Colleges, it was suggested that the meeting be held on May 14,
1937.
On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Haas it was
vot ed that the next meeting of the Board of Presidents be held on
May 14, 1937.
D
Report of Delegate to Meeting
of American Association of
Teachers Colleges
Doctor Allen who represented the Board of Presidents at the
meeting of the American Association of Teachers Colleges in New
Orleans had no formal report to submit to the Board.
Doctor Klonower agreed to prepare and distribute copies of
Doctor Sprague's report to the American Association of Teachers
Colleges together with copies of the criticism of this report.

Revision Committee
1.
Quality Point System
and Test Periods
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular Revision
Committee, reported for the Committee and stated that Doctor
Ross had been appointed to make a study of the marking systems
in the State Teachers Colleges.
Doctor Ross reported progress.
2.
Revision of Curriculums
Doctor Steele reported that the revision of the
curriculums has been completed with the exception of the
home economics curriculum. As soon as the Home Economics
Association of Pennsylvania has made its report to the
Committee, the curriculum will be submitted to the Board.
This curriculum must be studied in the light of the Federal
Vocational Act.
Doctor Steele stated that the secondary curriculum
has been subjected to considerable study and there appear to be
certain discrepancies; one, for instance, in the field of science
in which the general science major as outlined does not agree
with the certification requirements. Doctor Steele added that
the Presidents will be asked to consult with their Deans of
Instruction so that errors may be corrected and readjustments
made at the next meeting of the Board.
Doctor Noonan asked when the revision of the curriculum
will be completed.
Doctor Klonower assured Doctor Fausold and Doctor Noonan
that they will be informed concerning the revised home economics
curriculum before the end of June.
Doctor Ross raised a question concerning the general
science field. He stated that the requirements in general science
are very inadequate and asked whether it would be possible to
raise the number of hours in this concentration field from
twenty-four semester hours to thirty semester hours.
Doctor Steele asked whether the Committee might not
have a definite written statement of the point of view from each
institution.
-1171-

.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Ross
each institution present a written statement
to the Chairman of the Curricular Revision Committee containing
constructive suggestions with reference to a further modification
of the curriculum for the preparation of science teachers.

Doctor Steele stated that he would write a letter to
each member of the Board asking definite questions and indicating
a definite date for reply.
B
Report of committee re "recognition
by the Middle States Association"
Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the committee, reported for
the committee. He reported progress and added that the committee
had sent to the Committee of the Middle States Association all the
suggestions with reference to the format to be used by the
Association as a means of determining the competence of a teachers
college to be placed on the accredited list. The Middle States
Association has agreed to set up a separate list of teachers colleges

Allocations for 1937-38
Doctor Miller, Chairman of the Budget Committee, reported
for the Committee.
He stated that the committee felt that, in view
of the fact that it had no data available at this time on. the allocations, the report be deferred until such time as something definite
is done.
2.
Adjustment of cooperative
teacher reimbursement for
the biennium, 1937-39
Doctor Haas reported for the Budget Committee and submitted
the following report:
-1172-
"In order that further study and analysis of
the proposed cooperative teacher salary
schedule may be made, it is recommended that
the action of the Board of Presidents of
March 19, 1937 be rescinded and that the
matter be referred to the Budget Committee
for further study, a report to be made at
the November meeting in the light of the
actual enrollment and financial situation
at that time."
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Mr. Swope it was
voted that the report of the Committee be adopted.
Doctor Rowland suggested that it might be possible for
an institution to experiment with the plan.
It was agreed that, if the salaries of cooperative
teachers could be kept under the present Salary Schedule, this
could be done.
3.
Ranking of faculty members
Doctor Miller submitted the following report for the
Budget Committee:
"REPORT OF BUDGET COMMITTEE
RANK OF FACULTY MEMBERS
In order to evaluate the qualifications of the instructional
staffs of the State Teachers Colleges in Pennsylvania in terms
of the requirements of recognized accrediting agencies, the
Budget Committee recommends the adoption of the following plan
for ranking:
1.
Each institution shall have a minimum of eight professors.
2.
To be eligible for the rank of professor, a faculty member
must hold an earned doctor's degree granted by a graduate
school recognized by the American Association of Graduate
Schools and shall have had a minimum of nine years of
experience, half of which must have been in the public
schools.
A major portion of the graduate work shall have
been done in the field or department in which the professor
is teaching.
3.
In order to be eligible for the rank of assistant professor,
a faculty member must hold a minimum of a Master's degree
granted by a graduate school recognized by the American
-1173-
Association of Graduate Schools, and shall have had five
years of experience, half of which has been in the public
schools. A major portion of the graduate work shall have
been done in the field or department in which the
assistant professor is teaching,

To be eligible for the rank of instructor, a facultymember must hold a minimum of a Bachelor's degree and
shall have had three years of experience, half of which

Respectfully submitted,

Francis B. Haas
Q. A. W. Rohrbach
C. S. Miller, Chairman"
May 14, 1937
Doctor Miller stated that the report does not take
into consideration in any way the matter of salaries.
Doctor Rowland stated that he has no objection to the
report but that he believed that practically all institutions
have a limit upon the number of persons who may hold professorial
rank and that it would be unwise for our institutions to set up
any situation that would make possible a large proportion of the
faculty qualifying for the professorial rank and achieving that
rank.
It was moved by Doctor Rowland and seconded by Doctor
Miller that the report be amended as follows:
"In order to control the possible development of
a disproportionately large number of faculty
members qualifying for the professorial rank,
that, such to the minimum of eight full
professorships as stated above, not more than
thirty percent of the faculty may, at one time,
hold this rank."
The motion did not carry.
it
On motion of Doctor Miller, seconded by Doctor Rowland
was voted that the report be adopted.
Doctor Fausold, Doctor Hill, and Mr. Swope voted "no"
on the motion.

Doctor Ade discussed the matter of appropriations
and thanked the members of the Board for the effort made in
contacting members of the Legislature. He stated that the

situation looked very hopeful at this time,
that the members of the Board secure the support of persons
in the service areas who are interested in the State Teachers
Colleges but not directly associated with the institution.
He felt that the aid of such persons would be very effective.
Doctor Ade then discussed certain administrative
bills on education. He urged the Presidents to do everything
possible to stimulate and support the consolidation movement
which will follow as a result of the passage of the
Ruth-Brownf ield Bill which has just been signed by the
Governor.

docket

4.
Fee to cover breakage
Doctor Haas reported that only four members of the
Board made a favorable recommendation toward the separate
breakage fee.
Doctor Rowland stated that he was one of the
Presidents who wrote to Doctor Haas. He added that almost
all colleges and universities make some provision for this
item, and that most colleges require a bond.
Doctor Haas mentioned the administrative difficulties
in connection with the collection of a deposit for breakage and
the refund of such deposits.
Doctor Miller requested that the Fee Committee make a
study of the breakage fee problem.
Doctor Steele stated that he is heartily in favor of
such a fee if some form of administration can be worked out
whereby the fees could be used as a revolving fund.
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Miller
it was voted that the Fee Committee be instructed to see
it is possible to set up satisfactorily a revolving fund
whether
within
each institution from which costs of damages could be met.
Doctor Haas stated that a question had been raised with
the Fee Committee concerning the advisability of establishing a
late registration fee as a penalty for late registration.
On motion of Doctor Koonan, seconded by Doctor Tanger
was voted that the Fee Committee be instructed to consider
the matter of a late registration fee and to report at the next
meeting of the Board.

was voted that the report of the Curricular Revision Committee on
the matter of prerequisites be extended to include some specific
statement or comment on the report of Doctor Learned.
H.
Report of Committee on Publications
Doctor Haas, Chairman of the Committee, stated that the
assignment of the committee had been made too recently to allow
time for a report. He stated that some years ago a Committee on
Publications was appointed and it developed some minimum standards
relative to publications. These standards covered general format,
make-up, number of publications, distribution, size, et cetera. He
suggested that members of the Board go back and review the present
situation.
I.
X-Ray Examinations and Health Talks
Department of Health
-
Doctor Klonower stated the original plans for this
experiment had gone awry. He added that it had been planned to have
the study body called together for an educational talk on the health
problem and tuberculosis in the school. Following the talk, the X-ray
examination was to be given.
Doctor Rohrbach, Doctor Haas, and Doctor Fausold stated that
this had been done in their institutions.
It was agreed that what has been done in this program seems
to be a step in the rip-ht direction.
Doctor Klonower stated that the Department of Health is very
cooperative concerning the program for the summer session and the
authorities in charge are very anxious to make it a real educational
program.
-1177-
.
Doctor Miller suggested that the Department of Public
Instruction arrange a schedule with the Department of Health so
that advance notice could be given to the institutions and suitable
arrangements made for the examinations.

Contracts suggested by the
Pennsylvania Branch of the
Department of Secondary School
Principals of the National
Education Association
Doctor Klonower stated that this matter concerned the
furnishing of lists of high school graduates by the Department of
Secondary School Principals.
Doctor Klonower added that the matter is purely a voluntary
affair for each institution to handle as it sees fit.
On motion of Doctor Haas, seconded by Doctor Rowland it
was voted that the item be laid on the table due to the late hour.
C.
Distribution of certificates of
teachers in the elementary schools
of Pennsylvania - 1956-37
Doctor Klonower distributed to the members of the Board
photostatic copies of a chart showing the distribution of certificates
of teachers in the elementary schools for the year 1936-37.
He stated
that the significant fact is the 6,235 college graduates in the
elementary field compared with the 5,000 of last year. The chart
indicates the status of elementary teachers in each of the counties
and provides material from which the Deans of Instruction may secure
an accurate picture of the type of in-service teacher education program
which would be necessary to advance the professional status of teachers
within the service area of each institution.
-1178-

D.
College certificates of
elementary teach e s in
Pennsylvania - Service
areas of the State Teachers
Colleges
Doctor Klonower distributed photostatic copies of
this chart and indicated the need for in-service education of
teachers in various sections of the service areas. The chart
presents a definite challenge to all the institutions.
It
was pointed out that it might be unreasonable to expect each
institution to draw all of the teachers who lack college
preparation back in the institutions, but the chart at least
indicates that there is plenty of hard work ahead in every
service area.
Slippery Rock seems to have the largest percentage
of college graduates in the elementary field within its area.
There are 6,156 elementary teachers in this service area and of
this number 25.8 per cent are college graduates. The situation
at Clarion is a little more difficult; here are found 2,284
elementary teachers of whom 9.9 per cent are college graduates.
On motion of Doctor Fausold, seconded by Doctor Miller
and Doctor Allen it was voted that the State Council of Education
be requested to adopt the following recommendation:
That, beginning January 1, 1938, all incoming
students preparing to teach in the elementary
field must complete a four-year curriculum and
that, after September 1, 1941, not any one may
be certificated to teach in the elementary field
without having completed an approved four-year
curriculum for the education of teachers, or
its equivalent.
