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 opporThe
tunities and call to service of teaching as a profession.
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.

STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

THE TRAINING SCHOOL
A

normal school cannot properly prepare teachers unless

an adequate training school is maintained. Those who are to
become teachers should have ample preparation in teaching
in typical school situations.

Considerable attention has been

given to enlarging and strengthening the training school

the Bloomsburg State Normal School. The training
which is located on the campus, consists of a kindergarten and grades one to nine inclusive. There is a training

Why

this

Department

is

Maintained

This department is maintained for those students who depursue the work of the two year teacher training
course but who have not completed the fifteen units of high
school work required for entrance to the two year course. In
the past many splendid young men and women from the
rural sections of the state who became teachers secured their
high school preparation in the state normal schools.
For
some time to come the state normal schools will maintain
high school departments for the sake of many young men
and women who desire to prepare for teaching but who do
not have adequate high school facilities in their home comsire to

Since students in this department come from school districts where
there is no high school or where there is less than a four

it is right that the local school district should
be asked to pay the students' tuition. Students are advised
to obtain the consent of the board of school directors of the
district in which they live, to attend the high school de-

partment of a state normal school, and to get the board of
school directors to agree to pay the tuition. The tuition must
be paid by the board of school directors or by the students'
parent or guardian.

TEACHERS' SALARIES
The State of Pennsylvania through a state-wide salary
schedule guarantees a minimum salary to every graduate of a
state normal school. In school districts having a population of
500,000 or more, the minimum salary guaranteed for elementary school teachers is $1,200 a year. For school districts having a population of

higher as a minimum than the salaries of elementary school
