The School Periodical. Recognizing the necessity in these
days of changing standards, of a regular means of communication between a teacher-training institution and its alumni in
service, and between that institution and its source of supply,
the high schools of the State, a school periodical, the Bloomsburg State Normal School Quarterly, is issued in January,
April, July, and October of each year. It is intended that the
Quarterly shall reflect the purpose, spirit, and progress of the
school that it shall serve to keep those in the field in touch
with the growing policy of the school, its developing courses
of study, and its changing physical plant; that it shall further
present to those just graduating from high school the opportunities and call to service of teaching as a profession.
The
January, April, and October numbers of the Quarterly are
sent free to all Alumni, and to others upon request. The July
catalog number will be sent upon request.

them with a strong professional spirit and high standards of professional ethics. It includes consideration of the diflferent types of teaching service, the general aims of the public schools and, more specifically, the work to be accomplished by the primary, intermediate, junior
high, and rural schools respectively, a brief sketch of the characteristics of children in these different types of schools and the qualifications required of teachers to meet the needs of children at the
different age levels in these different types of schools.
The broad

Observation and Participation, Although student teaching is confined to the senior 3^ear, junior students are given frequent opportunities for participation in the work of the training school, and observation of expert teaching in the training school is a feature of all
the courses in education and of many other courses throughout the
curricula.
One critic teacher is assigned to each two class rooms and
demonstration lessons are taught from time to time in exemplification
of the various phases of good educational practice.
Distribution of Time. A minimum of two consecutive 60-minute
periods per day for one semester is given to student teaching. Where
two student teachers are assigned to the same class in the training
school, the assignments are so adjusted that each student teacher has
a definite problem. The distribution of teaching time is designed to
progressively give to the student an increasing class responsibility.

Lesson Plans. Plan forms are used upon which all lessons taught
by student teachers are planned. Critic teachers hold daily conferences with the student teachers under their charge and approve all
lesson plans of student teachers before the lessons are taught.

Student Teachers. Every student teacher confines his teaching

opportunity for contact with the community problems. All assignments for student teachers contemplate the completion of a unit
