The quest for certainty is as old as mankind. To make certain
an uncertain future is the problem of ever)- generation. Youth
is always confused by the process of growing up and the changing of events in the world at large. Life is made of such things.
Change and gro'v^'th as part of the continuous adjustment in living leads each generation to feel that its problems are more serious than those of the previous one.

Away back in 1839, a private academy was opened at Bloomsburg, C. P. Waller, a graduate of Williams CoUege, successfully conducted the school for two years. Later public school teachers taught
Among the outstandin the academy during their summer vacations.
ing teachers during this period were Joe Bradley and D. A. Beckley.
Waller drew up a charter, which was subscribed to
Bloomsburg and which provided that the school
be known as the Bloomsburg Literary Institute for the promotion of
education in the ordinary and the higher branches of English literature and science and in the ancient and modem languages.
In 1856, D.

In 1866, Henry Carver, of Binghampton, N. Y., taught the school.
His unusual influence and personality had much to do with molding
early policies. He insisted that a new building was essential for

Mr. Carver assured the trustees that $15,000 would build a suitable
building. The energy and enthusiasm of the men were such that
when some doubted that the type of building which he had planned
could be built for that amount, he assumed, in addition to his duties
as teacher, the offices of architect and contractor.
Under
his inspiration, the charter of 1856

dedicated with gala observance by the townspeople. Members of the

D. J. Waller, Jr., the late George E.
Elwell and the late Charles Unangst by popular subscription raised
$1200 in a single week for the fine bell which formerly called the students to their classes. The first faculty comprised Professor Carver,
teacher of mathematics and the higher English branches; Rev. J. R.
Dimm, teacher of Latin and Greek; and Miss Sarah Carver, teacher
of the lower English branches.

In the autumn of 1867, James P. Wickersham, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, was traveling through Bloomsburg on the
train.
He saw the new school on the hill "ablaze with lights" and
thought the Literary Institute's location would be ideal for a State
Normal School. So at a meeting in 1868, at which he addressed the
citizens of Bloomsburg, it was decided to establish a Normal School
under the Act of 1857. A dormitory was completed at a cost of
$36,000. The school was recognized as a State Normal School on Friday, February 19, 1869. In September of that year, there were 150
in the Normal Department and 80 in the Model School.
The school was called the Bloomsburg Literary Institute and State
Normal School until it was purchased by the State May 22, 1916.
After that it was known as the State Normal School at Bloomsburg
until the name was changed to State Teachers College on May 13,

teacher training courses.

Principal from March, 1872 to June, 1873.
In 1873, Dr. T. L. Griswold became Principal, serving until 1877.
Those early years were trying ones, subscriptions would fall off
and trustees would often meet obligations on their own personal responsibility.
In 1875, the dormitory was completely destroyed by
fire.
In 1876, a larger and handsomer building, the original part of
the present Waller Hall was built. In spite of discouraging circumstances, the school began paying expenses during Doctor Griswold's
.
administration.
In the Fall of 1877, Dr. D. J. Waller, Jr., became Principal. For
thirteen years the school grew under his guidance. The Model School
and the east wing of the dormitory were built during his Principalship.
When Doctor Waller resigned in 1890, to become State Superintendent of Public Instruction, the school was in a prosperous
condition.
Dr. Judson P. Welsh served as Principal of the Bloomsburg State
Normal School from 1890 to 1906. During his administration an addition to the four-story dormitory and the gymnasium were built.
Science Hall was opened in the Fall of 1906 just after his resignation.
Dr. D. J. Waller, Jr., responded a second time to the summons of
the trustees, serving as Principal until 1920 when he retired from
active duties. Doctor Waller gave the Bloomsburg State Normal
School twenty-seven years of splended service as its Principal.
He was succeeded by Dr. Charles H. Fisher, who came to the
Normal School from the State Department of Public Instruction. He
served at Bloomsburg from 1920 to 1923. During his administration
teacher training was introduced into the Bloomsburg public schools
and extension courses were instituted. He was followed by Dr. G. C.
L. Riemer, who came from the State Department of Public Instruction.
He
served as Principal until June, 1927.

Dr. Francis B. Haas succeeded Dr. Riemer in July, 1927. Under
his administration the College made great advancement, both in the
improvement of the physical plant and in the program of teacher
education in the Commonwealth.
Major campus improvements include the following: the addition
of eighteen acres of land; the construction of a new Laundry Building; Elementary Training School; Gymnasium; Junior High School;
Shop and Maintenance Building; addition to the Boiler Plant; Fire
Towers for several buildings; a complete remodeling of Science Hall,
and the remodeling of the auditorium.
Smaller projects include the provision of complete and comfortable rooms for day students; the construction of a new recreation
field; the adoption of a tree-planting program; the building of new
tennis courts; the installation of sound picture equipment in the auditorium; the laying of 2,500 lineal feet of new sidewalk and street
curbs, and the addition of new underground steam and electric
service.
Educational developments during the administration of Dr. Haas
parallel with the improvement in the physical plant
and include the following: the establishment of the Department of
Business Education; the inauguration of a Department of Special
Education, with an Educational Clinic for guidance and remedial
instruction of problem cases; the organization and development of
a student government association; the development of such outstanding extra-curricular activities as the A Cappella Choir, Maroon and
Gold Orchestra, Maroon and Gold Band, the Dramatic Club, and the
installation of professional and honorary educational organizations.

for laboratory work in biology, chemistry, and physics. It contains a
number of classrooms and two lecture rooms with lanterns, screens
and other visual education apparatus. Two large, well-lighted art
studios are in this building. Modern laboratory desks and other equipment for the teaching of chemistry and physics were installed at the
beginning of the school year of 1937 to provide for the increasing
demand for Science on the part of students who are entering the
teaching profession. This building has been recently renovated and
modern fire towers have been added at a cost of approximately $25,000.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN SCHOOL. The Benjamin Franklin
Training School building was opened for use the first day of the 19301931 school year. It is designed, planned, and equipped in accordance
with the best present modern practice. It provides practice teacher
facilities from the kindergarten to the sixth grade, as well as a special
class for the mentally retarded. Among the features is a special room
arranged for observation and demonstration work. In addition to the
practice work done here, a cooperative arrangement makes practice
teaching possible in public schools of Berwick, Catawissa, Bloomsburg, Williamsport, and Danville. The practice teaching in rural work
is done in the rural schools of Columbia County.

employment by the College (other than N. Y. A.)
Such employment for the most part is limited to work in the Dining
Room, the Kitchen, the Library, and the College offices. Occasionally
there are a few opportunities in the general maintenance service.
However, the number of positions at present is so limited that for the
most part it is the policy of the College to make them available only
after students have demonstrated ability to meet the standards of
the College by completing in a satisfactory manner the work of the
first year.
A few opportunities are available to Freshmen for substi1

paid for at the rate of thirty cents per hour, and the
of hours which a student may be employed upon
work administered by the College is twenty hours per week. This
means that under the most favorable conditions the maximum amount
that may be earned is six dollars per week, and that for the most part
this is available for upper class students only.

Household Work Many students secure housing expenses by
working in private homes approved by the College. The College refers requests from homes to prospective students. Usually, however,
such opportunities are secured through friends or through church or
other affiliations. Many students have secured household work and
other work through advertisements placed in the Morning Press of
Bloomsburg. Students securing such work in a home must secure
from the Dean of Women, or the Dean of Men, an "Application for
Approval to Live in a Private Home," and have it signed by the Parent or Guardian, the Student, and the Housekeeper, and approved by
the Dean of Women or the Dean of Men. Until this agreement is
submitted and approved, enrollment is temporary.

Transfer of credits having the lowest passing grade will not be accepted.
Scheduling Student's Work.
At the beginning of every semester a schedule of classes is handed
to each student by the Dean of Instruction. It is the duty of the student to enroll in each class and have the instructor of the subject sign
the schedule card. When the last signature is obtained the card must
be returned to the office of the Dean of Instruction. No permanent
credits will be recorded unless this signed card is on file.
Transfers and Evaluations.
A student desiring to transfer from another College must first
present a letter of honorable dismissal and a complete record of the
work taken at his former College. These records shall be sent directly from the College to the office of the Dean of Instruction.

Progress Reports and Records.
For the purpose of reporting the progress of each student, each
semester is divided into periods of nine weeks. During each period
the instructor hands to the Dean of Instruction a special deficiency
report at any time the student is not doing satisfactory work. At the
end of nine weeks a complete Grade Report is made. These grades
are assembled and recorded upon a form suitable for mailing and are
sent to the parents or guardians of each student.
At
the end of the semester final grades are reported, recorded
upon the permanent progress card of each student and
filed.
The
re-
port is then sent out as before. Any parent not receiving such a
report at the end of the nine or eighteen weeks' period should notify
the Dean of Instruction and a duplicate will be mailed.

by the student for the removal of the condition.
A

Pre-Requisite For Student Teaching,
A student is eligible to begin teaching if he has attained a quality
point average of 1.0 in not less than 90 semester hours at the end of
three years. If a part of the student teaching is given during the
third year, the same average is required in not less than 60 semester
hours.
Raising the Quality Point Average For Student Teaching or

forth.
Eligibility for Participation in Inter- School Athletic Contests.
A
student to be eligible must have secured a passing grade in at
least twelve semester hours of work during the quarter preceding
each respective sport.
Placement Service.
The Placement Service of the College cooperates with the Placement Service of the State Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, thus offering additional facilities for the placement of our students and graduates.
The Placement Service has for its purpose first of all to assist
school officials to secure competent teachers, and second to aid
teachers to secure suitable positions in fields of service for which their
training best fits them.
The Placement Service is in charge of the Director of Teacher
Training, who answers all inquiries and gives personal attention to
school officials seeking competent teachers.
State Teachers College, Bloomsburg, Pa.
31
In order that the Placement Service may serve the interests of
the students to the best advantage, students are requested during the
time that they are doing their student teaching to fill out a "Registration Blank," giving personal information such as grades and subjects
which they are prepared to teach and desire to teach, their preference
as to the part of Pennsylvania in which they would like to teach, experience in teaching, and other personal data which Superintendents of
schools and school boards wish to know when seeking candidates for
positions.
The opinion of the Teacher Training Department is often sought
by school officials. The quality of the work done by students in College
courses as well as in student teaching is, therefore, a most important
element entering into the recommendation of students.
In order that the Placement Service may be of maximum benefit
to graduating students, it is necessary that those securing positions
advise the Director of Teacher Training immediately. This procedure
will not only avoid the recommending of a candidate for positions
after he is already employed, but will enable the Teacher Training
Department to keep in close touch with all those individuals who have
not secured teaching positions.
Students after graduation from the College are urged to keep up
their contacts with the Placement S'ervice and the Teacher Training
Department in order that the College may render further service not
only in helping students to secure better positions but to help them in
every possible way professionally.

IN-SERVICE EDUCATION OF TEACHERS
(Friday Evening and Saturday Morning Classes)
Tkis work is residence work so that all the facilities of the College, such as the library and laboratories, are available for the use of
the students.
There is always the possibility of offering anj course in any curriculum if circumstances permit. The offering is dependent upon two
things: first, the demand from teachers-in-service for the course and,
second, the availability of the faculty instructor. As the member of
the faculty conducting such a class receives no extra compensation it
must be offered as a part of his regular teaching load. We, therefore,
are limited to the offerings of those courses for which a member of the
faculty is found available for the work after the regular schedule for
the semester has been determined.
Any teacher in service who is interested in this plan will be fully
informed bj" communicating vrith the Dean of Instruction. The course
of study desired should be indicated.

fee
of five dollars is charged for each semester hour credit.
In accordance
with the certification regulations of the Department of Public Instruction six (6) semester hours per college semester is the maximum
amount which may he taken by a regularly employed
teacher.
At the present time the popularity
of courses offered to teachersin-service is evidenced by the fact that over 100 persons are now enrolled in such classes.
Most of them come to Bloomsburg for the Friday and Saturday classes, since the library or laboratory^ facilities
are then available.
Those desiring information relative to enrollment should communicate and if possible have a personal interview with the Dean of
Instruction,
College,
Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania.
State Teachers
Teachers-in-Service are urged to note carefully the following: (1)
Before taking advanced work be sure that you are familiar with the
State regulations covering the type of certification desired, and decide
definitely the Fields that you desire covered by your State Certificate.
(2) Be sure that the work which you take will be accepted for certification by the Department of Public Instruction and that it will
definitely advance your standing towards the certificate that you
desire.
In other words, make sure before you begin a course that it
will be credited towards j'our certificate.
(3) In case of doubt state
your case to Dr. Henr^' Klonower, Director, Teacher Education and
Certification, Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
THE LABORATORY SCHOOL FACILITIES OF THE COLLEGE
Those who are to become teachers should have ample preparation
in teaching in tj-pical school situations.
Considerable attention has
been given to enlarging and strengthening the training school facilities of the State Teachers College at Bloomsburg.
The Benjamin
Franklin School on our campus houses a kindergarten, special classes
for the mentally retarded, and grades one to six inclusive. There is a
training teacher in charge of each class, consequently, close supervision is given to the student teaching.
State Teachers College, Bloomsburg, Pa.
37
In addition to the Training School the elementary grades of the
public schools of the town of Bloomsburg are used for student teaching.
Student teaching in the secondary field is done in the juniorsenior high schools of Bloomsburg and Williamsport, the high schools
of Berwick and Danville. The complete cooperation of the school
authorities of the towns of Bloomsburg, Williamsport, Berwick, and
Danville makes it possible to have a variety of adequate facilities for
the training of teachers for the graded schools and secondary schools.
For the preparation of rural teachers, one-room schools in Columbia County, adjacent to the Teachers College are used. Through the
cooperation of the school authorities in the rural districts of Hemlock
and Mount Pleasant Townships it is possible to have facilities for the
training of rural teachers.
The rural and urban elementary school training facilities, and the
junior and senior high school training facilities of the College are
typical of the public schools in our service area. The students, therefore, have ample opportunity to observe well-trained teachers at work
and to develop skill in teaching by actual experience under public
school conditions.

the work for a three semester hour course, except where adjustments
for laboratory courses are needed. Six semester hours' credit is the
normal load for a six weeks' session.
An opportunity for additional work will be provided this summer
a three weeks' Pre-Session and a three weeks' Post-Session. The
work of the Pre-Session and Post-Session will be scheduled so that
two ninety-minute periods per day for five days per week will constitute the work for a three semester hour credit course except where adjustment for laboratory courses is needed. Three semester hours is
the normal load for the three weeks* sessions.

An important feature of the regular Summer Session is the observation and demonstration school, which includes all the grades of the
elementary school, a class of mentally retarded children, and the three
grades of the junior high school. A skillful teacher is in charge of
each grade. Here teachers may observe and have demonstrated for
them desirable practices in modem teaching procedures.
The student teaching in grades 7, 8 and 9 has proved to be a
popular feature of our regular Summer Session. Opportunity is offered to those who must secure credit in the Secondary field to observe
and participate in the operation of a well-organized junior high school.

COLLEGE GOVERNMENT
A
State Teachers College is a professional institution for the
education of teachers for our public schools. The College, therefore,
requires the maintenance of high standards in academic work, balanced
programs of social and recreational activities and opportunities for the
development of self -direction and leadership. The attainment of these
objectives is aided by a sound health program, favorable study conditions, a good library, and supplementary social and recreational
activities.
In general, these opportunities are provided through a broad proof College organizations and activities which are developed and
controlled through the participation of the entire College in the Community Govenunent Association. This organization, through the College Council, is the general control body for the various College activities.
In accordance with the constitution of the Community Government Association, dormitory affairs are handled for Women by the
Waller Hall Association for Women and for Men by the Waller Hall
Association for Men. The activities of students not living in the dormitories are handled for the Women by the Day Women's Association
and for the Men by the Day Men's Association. The detailed plans
for student participations in College Community life are presented in
the Handbook, issued at the beginning of the Fall semester each year
under the direction of the College Council.

EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
All students are required to take part in one extra-curricular
activity one semester each year. The students, for the most part, are
eager to take this opportunity to train themselves in this important
and interesting phase of modem school work. The extra-curricular
work during the past year included the following:
Athletics
In addition to the required courses in physical education, men receive extra-curricular credit for football, basketball, track, cross

AN ENRICHED PROGRAM OF STUDIES
Curriculums for the education of teachers should be constantly
re-examined in terms of the needs of the public schools. An effort
has been made to adjust the curriculum of the teachers colleges to
meet these needs. In accordance with this policy, the Presidents of
the State Teachers Colleges, with the approval of the Superintendent
of Public Instruction, have rearranged the courses, thereby enriching
the curriculums. The first two years of the rearranged curriculums
will give the students a more thorough academic background.
The revised curriculums in the State Teachers Colleges have as
their main objective, the reorganization of the sequential relationship of courses so that the professional work v,t.11 be cumulative and
progressive.
There will be distinctly professional courses in the first
year, more professional courses in the second year, and still more in
the third and fourth years.
The following curriculums were inaugurated at State Teachers
September 7, 1937:
College, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, beginning

Four- Year Elementary Curriculum leading to the B. S. in Education, with college certification in (a) Kindergarten-Primary,
(b) Intermediate, (c) Rural fields.
The State Standard Limited
Certificate may be issued at the end of three years if students
make this decision at the end of their freshman year. This certification is valid for three years, during which time twelve semester hours of advanced credit in the elementary field must be
earned in order to renew it for three more years. This process
is continued until the four-year requirement for the degree of
B. S. in Education has been fulfilled at which time the College
Provisional Certificate
is
issued.
<2)
Six semester hours, selected from the "Electives for Special Education'' earned in addition to completing the Four- Year Elementary Curriculum may be used to certifj' a person to teach

person will be certified to teach in the elementary school, and at
the same time certified to teach adjustment, special, opportunity,
or orthogenic classes in the elementary school.

CHOOSING A CURRICULUM
In order that entering students may have an opportunity to explore their interests and try out their abilities and aptitudes in the
College situation, a uniform curriculum for the first year is followed
by those expecting to teach academic subjects in the Secondary and
Elementary schools. Those expecting to teach commercial subjects in
the Secondary schools also follow a uniform curriculum for the first
year.
Following the first year's experience with courses in English,
Speech, Geography, Science, Health Education, History, Appreciation
of Art and Music, and Place and Purpose of Education in the Social
Order (including School Visitation), the student is in a position to
choose electives in either the Elementary or Secondary curriculums
for the second year, basing his decision on his Freshman courses.
After having completed courses in English, Speech, Health Education,
Economic Geography, Place and Purpose of Education in the Social
Order (including School Visitation) as well as courses in Bookkeeping
and Accounting, Shorthand, Typewriting and Business Mathematics,
the prospective commercial teacher is in a better position to choose
either the Commercial, Accounting, Secretarial, or Retail Selling sequence depending upon his first year's experience.
During the Freshman year, to further inform entering students of
the nature of the teaching profession, all students take an orientation
course entitled "Place and Purpose of Education in the Social Order"
(including school visitation). Classrooms of all types and levels are
visited. In class, such topics are studied as: How to Study, How to
Budget Time, Campus Services, Administrative Organization of the
College, The Requirements and Possibilities of Teaching as a Profession, Self-Analysis to Determine Fitness for Teaching; all of which
are consciously planned to help students to choose their curriculum
at the beginning of the second year. Such guidance based on professional information and personal analysis is carried on by means of
conferences by faculty members with individual students. Persons
entering the teaching profession of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania today must view themselves in the light of the mental, physical
and social requirements and possibilities of a career as an educator.
At
the outset of the Sophomore year, a second choice is necessary.
Elementary Curriculum is chosen, a student may specialize in
the Kindergarten-Primary, Intermediate, Rural, or Special Education
Group referred to as Groups I, II, and III in other parts of this catalogue. If the Secondary Curriculum is chosen, two fields of specialization are selected from among the following: English, French, Latin,
Social Studies, Speech, Mathematics, Science and Geography. If the
Business Education Curriculum has been followed for one year, to continue one must choose a sequence from the following: Commercial
(which certifies in all commercial subjects), Accounting, Secretarial,
and Retail Selling.
If the
Thus the specialized work of the last three years is based on one
year of general preparation for the purpose of acquainting students
with the nature of the teaching profession, and at the same time to
aid in the prediction of the professional promise of teaching success.
Following the first year, a change from one curriculum to another
may be requested by the student or advised by the Dean of Instruction.
This arrangement provides all students an opportunity to explore.

DEPARTMENT OF AVIATION EDUCATION
AVIAIHON FOR THE ARMY AND NAVY
During the past two college years the college cooperated with the
Civil Aeronautics Administration in training students to become aviators.
The location of the college with relation to the Bloomsburg
Airport creates a favorable situation for the Civil Pilot Training Pro-
gram.
Bloomsburg Airport, within walking distance of the College,
one of the finest of
is
its size in
the East.
In July, 1942, at the request of the Civil Aeronautics Administration, the flight training offered at Bloomsburg as an extracurricular phase came to an end. To meet an virgent war need, the
college was asked to conduct full-time programs of flight and ground
school in eight-week periods. During the first eight-weeks session,
thirty Army and ten Navy pilots were trained. In the second eightweeks period, Bloomsburg, along with eight other institutions of
higher learning in the United States, was so honored as to do Navy
pilot training exclusively, and sixty Naval Aviation Cadets are taking
the course at the present time. Five of these institutions, including
Bloomsburg, were asked to do Naval Flight Instructor preparation.
These men, commissioned Lieutenants (j.g.) and Ensigns in the United
States Navy, will be on the campus for twenty-four weeks and then
begin instructing for the Navy at Pensacola, Florida, and Corpus
Christi, Texas.
PRE-FLIGHT AERONAUTICS FOR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS
The College is planning to institute a four-year course leading
to certification of teachers in Aviation to instruct in the high schools
of Pennsylvania in the field of Pre-flight Aeronautics. Twenty
teachers-in-service began this course during the past summer and wiU
continue their courses toward certification.
Growing out of an active participation in the Aviation Program
for college students and Army and Navy Flyers, which has offered
an opportunity for over 300 young men and women to become commercial pilots, teachers of pre-flight aeronautics, and combat pilots in
the Army and Navy of the United States, the State Teachers
College at Bloomsburg is planning to offer a specialized field in Aviation to pre-service secondary teachers. The proposal to make Aviation
a field of concentration along Math Mathematics, Science, English,
Geography, and Social Studies, is now being reviewed by the Board
of Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges.
As approved by the
the
field of
State Superintendent of Public Instruction,
Aviation will include:

The Bloomsburg State Teachers College will continue a course in
Pre-Flight Aeronautics for secondary school teachers which was begun
last year. On June 1, 1941, a letter was sent to Pennsylvania School
Officials, by the Bloomsburg State Teachers College, announcing a
class for teachers of Aeronautics. Later the Civilian Pilot Training
Program developed plans for teachers to receive instruction along
with Aviators being trained for the Army and Navy.
Bloomsburg State Teachers College organized the first class in
the United States devoted exclusively to the instruction of teachers
of Pre-Flight Aeronautics.
The enrollment was limited to twenty.
College instructors certificated by the National Government carried the
first group through to a successful conclusion.
A large number of
these teachers returned to their high schools to begin teaching PreFlight Aeronautics in September, 1942.
Others are now teaching
Aviation at leading Universities and occupy positions on the staff of
the Civilian Aeronautics Administration.
During the 1943 Summer Sessions, the college will continue
classes for teachers of Pre-Flight Aeronautics on both the Primary
and Advanced levels. These courses may be used as electives for the
fields of Science, Geography, or Mathematics to meet the requirements
for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Education, and the College
Provisional (or Permanent) Certificate.
Since the enrollment is limited, persons interested in Pre-Flight
Aeronautics should make immediate reservations by addressing Dr.
Thomas P. North, Dean of Instruction, State Teachers College,
Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania.

DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS EDUCATION
PURPOSE
The State Department of Public Instruction has designated the
State Teachers College, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, as one of the institutions in which the high school commercial teachers of the Commonwealth may be educated. The Bachelor of Science in Education degree
is conferred on the completion of the Business Education Curriculum
authorized by the State Council of Education.
Graduates of this curriculum are fully certified to supervise or
teach commercial subjects in any junior or senior high school of Pennsylvania. This curriculum is so broad that it not only educates students to teach but also gives them the choice of several business
vocations.
The training provides adequate preparation in business
knowledge and skills as well as teaching theory and practice.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
This curriculum has proved so popular since it was organized in
1930, that only a limited number carefully selected students are admitted. All persons who expect to enroll as Freshmen should make
their reservations early in the year. Only the better high school students are accepted. This does not mean that new students must have
had commercial work in high school or business college. Many students who have not had previous commercial training complete the
Business Education Curriculum successfully.
Prospective students are urged to come to the College and meet
the
members
of our faculty.
As this curriculum is of collegiate grade, advanced standing is not granted
for work completed in secondary schools, business colleges or unaccredited
business schools.
ADVANCED STANDING
Entrants who have earned previous College credits should submit
a transcript of such work before they enroll. If advanced standing
for work completed in other institutions is expected, credit transcripts
should accompany the application for enrollment. Advanced standing
will be granted for work completed in other institutions of college
grade, when, in the judgment of the Dean of Instruction, such courses
seem to be equivalent to subjects contained in the Business Education
Curriculum.
If a tentative evaluation of completed college work is desired, a
transcript showing the name of the course, the grade, and the credit
hours should be forwarded to the Director of the Department of Business Education. This evaluation may precede the enrollment of the
student.

EQUIPMENT
Business skills and practice cannot be learned wholly from books.
The Department of Business Education is well equipped with the most
modem office machines and devices. All desks, tables, chairs, files,
and other business equipment are new. Students learn to operate
standard and noiseless typewriters, addressographs, adding machines,
posting and bookkeeping machines, calculation and ditto machines,
mimeoscopes, multigraphs, mimeographs, and dictaphones. By operaating these machines, students acquire a well-rounded knowledge of
the mechanics of business which is invaluable in teaching.
OFFICE PRACTICE AND BUSINESS EXPERIENCE
A student completing this curriculum has had an opportunity to
spend one and one-half years in office practice courses. In these three
courses in office practice, a student acts as an actual business worker
in four different offices where he is held responsible for the same
vocational efficiency as the regularly employed office workers. This
actual experience is supplemented by class instruction covering the
following: office skill and phases of business knowledge; alphabetic,
geographic, and numeric filing with actual practice; dictation and
transcription at high rates of speed; the cutting of stencils, and the
operation of the mimeograph machine; the making of stencils with the
mimeoscope; the preparation of copy and duplication on the ditto and
multigraph machines; the complete operation of the dictaphone; advanced work in business papers; the operation of the Burroughs posting machine and the Underwood bookkeeping machine; and the operation of adding machines and calculators.
The courses in office practice are not textbook courses but represent the actual carrying out of business transactions. While there is
no substitute for business experience, we feel that such actual experience as provided in connection with the above outlined work in
office practice materially aids the teacher of commercial subjects when
he attacks classroom problems.
PRACTICE TEACHING
Senior students may have an opportunity
In order that
to observe
in actual class rooms, the Commercial Departments of six
high schools are used. In addition to the Commercial Department of
the Bloomsburg High School, the Berwick High School, and Danville
High School, three high schools, located in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, now serve as student teaching centers for Commercial students.
Of these three high schools, two of them are junior high schools, and
the third a senior high school. The three high schools used in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, are: The Senior High School, Andrew Curtin
Junior High School, and Theodore Roosevelt Junior High School. In
the six high schools cooperating with the College for student teaching purposes, there are fifteen regular teachers whose purpose it is to
help the training of students.
and teach
In addition to the fifteen cooperating teachers, a supervisor, the
Director of the College Department of Business Education, visits these
schools weekly for the purpose of supervision and conferences with
student teachers.
Apprenticeship teaching means observation of regrularly employed
teachers, planning the course, units of work,

the actual participation of the student as a teacher who is in charge of
a classroom. Since the amount of student teaching is more than twice
that required by the State for certification, we feel that his apprenticeship period under the conditions which we have set up goes a long
way toward giving our graduates experience in actual school situations before they are ready to become regular teachers in the public
school system of the State of Pennsylvania.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR GRADUATES
a great demand in Pennsylvania at the present time for
properly trained, degree-holding commercial teachers. With the
changing certification requirements, properly trained commercial
teachers will find their way into positions as supervisors and heads of
commercial departments in the various secondary schools.
There
is
Until recent years, little commercial work was offered in the
junior high schools. In connection with the exploratory and vocational
guidance work carried on in the junior high schools, courses in Junior
Business Training and other similar courses have been rapidly growing in favor. As a result properly trained teachers are in demand.
by
The demand for commercial teachers may easily be accounted for
from public and private sources which show that one-third
figures
of the high school students are pursuing commercial courses. Judging from the steady growth of the last five years, it would seem that
the demand for degree-trained teachers in the commercial field will
continue.
Undoubtedly there will be a steady change in methods,
skills, and techniques used in teaching.
The State Teachers Colleges
may well be expected to do pioneer work in progressive commercial
education.
TEACHER PLACEMENT
The Department of Business Education acts as a clearing house
for employment purposes. Our graduates are placed without charge
through the cooperation of the Placement Service of the Department of Public Instiniction and the Placement Service of our own
College.
The Department of Business Education likewise takes a
special interest in securing positions for its graduates. Teachers-inservice are enabled in many instances to secure better positions with
the help of these various agencies for placement.
PLACEMENT RECORD
The type of business education provided at Bloomsburg can be
measured in no better way than by the fact that 90% of the graduates of the Department of Business Education have found employment in either teaching or business and 80% of this group are now
teaching in over 125 towns and cities throughout Pennsylvania and
surrounding states. High Schools and Colleges located in the State
of Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Florida, and Virginia have sought the
services of teachers graduated from Bloomsburg.

least, because music today is a recognized factor in the development
of the child.
The instruction is not standardized and formal. Rather an attempt is made to analyze the individual musical and technical problems of each student and to offer solutions based upon constructive
thinking and consideration for the individual personality.
The State Teachers College at Bloomsburg offers superior advantages for hearing music, an important phase of musical training.
In addition to the student and faculty recitals of the Department of
Music, the Entertainment Course offers several outstanding musical
events during the season; and extra concerts are occasionally presented by world famous artists.

best organ compositions of the various periods in musical history.
In addition, students are prepared for playing church services.
Voice
The art of singing is presented with utmost detail and precision.
The fundamentals of tone production, breathing, diction, interpretation, and stage deportment are emphasized. A careful selection of repertoire is made to suit the needs and the ability of the

of bowing, technique, repertoire, and the preparedness for solo and

ing teachers during this period were Joe Bradley and D. A. Beckley.
Waller drew up a charter, which was subscribed to
Bloomsburg and which provided that the school
be known as the Bloomsburg Literary Institute for the promotion of
education in the ordinary and the higher branches of English literature and science and in the ancient and modem languages.

Mr. Carver assured the trustees that $15,000 would build a suitable
building. The energy and enthusiasm of the men were such that
when some doubted that the type of building which he had planned
could be built for that amount, he assumed, in addition to his duties
as teacher, the offices of architect and contractor.

of the lower English branches.

In the autumn of 1867, James P. Wickersham, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, was traveling through Bloomsburg on the
train.
He saw the new school on the hill "ablaze with lights" and
thought the Literary Institute's location would be ideal for a State
Normal School. So at a meeting in 1868, at which he addressed the
citizens of Bloomsburg, it was decided to establish a Normal School
under the Act of 1857. A dormitory was completed at a cost of
$36,000. The school was recognized as a State Normal School on Friday, February 19, 1869. In September of that year, there were 150
in the Normal Department and 80 in the Model School.
The school was called the Bloomsburg Literary Institute and State
Normal School until it was purchased by the State May 22, 1916.
After that it was known as the State Normal School at Bloomsburg
until the name was changed to State Teachers College on May 13,
1927, by the State Council of Education. Up to 1920, when the Department of Public Instruction revised the programs of all the Normal Schools, the school offered college preparatory courses as well as
teacher training courses.

county superintendent of schools, acted as Principal from December

witt, rector of the Episcopal Church at Bloomsburg, who served as
Principal from March, 1872 to June, 1873.
In 1873, Dr. T. L. Griswold became Principal, serving until 1877.
Those early years were trying ones, subscriptions would fall off
and trustees would often meet obligations on their own personal responsibility.
In 1875, the dormitory was completely destroyed by
fire.
In 1876, a larger and handsomer building, the original part of
the present Waller Hall was built. In spite of discouraging circumstances, the school began paying expenses during Doctor Griswold's
.
administration.
In the Fall of 1877, Dr. D. J. Waller, Jr., became Principal. For
thirteen years the school grew under his guidance. The Model School
and the east wing of the dormitory were built during his Principalship.
When Doctor Waller resigned in 1890, to become State Superintendent of Public Instruction, the school was in a prosperous
condition.
Dr. Judson P. Welsh served as Principal of the Bloomsburg State
Normal School from 1890 to 1906. During his administration an addition to the four-story dormitory and the gymnasium were built.
Science Hall was opened in the Fall of 1906 just after his resignation.
Dr. D. J. Waller, Jr., responded a second time to the summons of
the trustees, serving as Principal until 1920 when he retired from
active duties. Doctor Waller gave the Bloomsburg State Normal
School twenty-seven years of splended service as its Principal.
He was succeeded by Dr. Charles H. Fisher, who came to the
Normal School from the State Department of Public Instruction. He
served at Bloomsburg from 1920 to 1923. During his administration
teacher training was introduced into the Bloomsburg public schools
and extension courses were instituted. He was followed by Dr. G. C.
L. Riemer, who came from the State Department of Public Instruction.
He
served as Principal until June, 1927.

Dr. Francis B. Haas succeeded Dr. Riemer in July, 1927. Under
his administration the College made great advancement, both in the
improvement of the physical plant and in the program of teacher
education in the Commonwealth.
Major campus improvements include the following: the addition
of eighteen acres of land; the construction of a new Laundry Building; Elementary Training School; Gymnasium; Junior High School;
Shop and Maintenance Building; addition to the Boiler Plant; Fire
Towers for several buildings; a complete remodeling of Science Hall,
and the remodeling of the auditorium.
Smaller projects include the provision of complete and comfortable rooms for day students; the construction of a new recreation
field; the adoption of a tree-planting program; the building of new
tennis courts; the installation of sound picture equipment in the auditorium; the laying of 2,500 lineal feet of new sidewalk and street
curbs, and the addition of new underground steam and electric
service.
Educational developments during the administration of Dr. Haas
parallel with the improvement in the physical plant
and include the following: the establishment of the Department of
Business Education; the inauguration of a Department of Special
Education, with an Educational Clinic for guidance and remedial
instruction of problem cases; the organization and development of
a student government association; the development of such outstanding extra-curricular activities as the A Cappella Choir, Maroon and
Gold Orchestra, Maroon and Gold Band, the Dramatic Club, and the
installation of professional and honorary educational organizations.

for laboratory work in biology, chemistry, and physics. It contains a
number of classrooms and two lecture rooms with lanterns, screens
and other visual education apparatus. Two large, well-lighted art
studios are in this building. Modern laboratory desks and other equipment for the teaching of chemistry and physics were installed at the
beginning of the school year of 1937 to provide for the increasing
demand for Science on the part of students who are entering the
teaching profession. This building has been recently renovated and
modern fire towers have been added at a cost of approximately $25,000.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN SCHOOL. The Benjamin Franklin
Training School building was opened for use the first day of the 19301931 school year. It is designed, planned, and equipped in accordance
with the best present modern practice. It provides practice teacher
facilities from the kindergarten to the sixth grade, as well as a special
class for the mentally retarded. Among the features is a special room
arranged for observation and demonstration work. In addition to the
practice work done here, a cooperative arrangement makes practice
teaching possible in public schools of Berwick, Catawissa, Bloomsburg, Williamsport, and Danville. The practice teaching in rural work
is done in the rural schools of Columbia County.

there are a few opportunities in the general maintenance service.
However, the number of positions at present is so limited that for the
most part it is the policy of the College to make them available only
after students have demonstrated ability to meet the standards of
the College by completing in a satisfactory manner the work of the
first year.
A few opportunities are available to Freshmen for substi1

Household Work Many students secure housing expenses by
working in private homes approved by the College. The College refers requests from homes to prospective students. Usually, however,
such opportunities are secured through friends or through church or
other affiliations. Many students have secured household work and
other work through advertisements placed in the Morning Press of
Bloomsburg. Students securing such work in a home must secure
from the Dean of Women, or the Dean of Men, an "Application for
Approval to Live in a Private Home," and have it signed by the Parent or Guardian, the Student, and the Housekeeper, and approved by
the Dean of Women or the Dean of Men. Until this agreement is
submitted and approved, enrollment is temporary.

Loans are to be repaid to the Treasurer in monthly payments of
not less than $10.00 each and every month beginning four months

Because of the great number of requests for loans, it has been
found necessary to limit the loans to the Junior and Senior classes;
and to further limit the amount to any one person to $150.00.

THE NEW THREE- YEAR PLAN
The new three-year program adds a three-week Pre-Session to
the existing regular six-week Summer S'ession and the three-week
Post-Session, and it is arranged so that Freshmen will be accepted at
the beginning of any semester or Summer Session.
High school graduates may therefore begin their study with the
June Pre-Session on June 7, the regular Summer Session on June 28,
or the Post-Session on August 9, instead of waiting for the regular
Fall Session on September 13, 1943. Standards for admission, graduation and the award of teaching certificates remain the same under the
new program as under the usual four-year plan.

Otherwise credits may not be accepted. Correspondence courses are
not offered or accepted by this College.
Transfer of credits having the lowest passing grade will not be accepted.
Scheduling Student's Work.
At the beginning of every semester a schedule of classes is handed
to each student by the Dean of Instruction. It is the duty of the student to enroll in each class and have the instructor of the subject sign
the schedule card. When the last signature is obtained the card must
be returned to the office of the Dean of Instruction. No permanent
credits will be recorded unless this signed card is on file.
Transfers and Evaluations.
A student desiring to transfer from another College must first
present a letter of honorable dismissal and a complete record of the
work taken at his former College. These records shall be sent directly from the College to the office of the Dean of Instruction.

Progress Reports and Records.
For the purpose of reporting the progress of each student, each
semester is divided into periods of nine weeks. During each period
the instructor hands to the Dean of Instruction a special deficiency
report at any time the student is not doing satisfactory work. At the
end of nine weeks a complete Grade Report is made. These grades
are assembled and recorded upon a form suitable for mailing and are
sent to the parents or guardians of each student.
At
the end of the semester final grades are reported, recorded
upon the permanent progress card of each student and
filed.
The
re-
port is then sent out as before. Any parent not receiving such a
report at the end of the nine or eighteen weeks' period should notify
the Dean of Instruction and a duplicate will be mailed.

Removal of Conditions.
Each instructor imposing a condition at the end of a semester shall file
with the Dean of Instruction a detailed statement of the steps to be taken
by the student for the removal of the condition.
A

Pre-Requisite For Student Teaching,
A student is eligible to begin teaching if he has attained a quality
point average of 1.0 in not less than 90 semester hours at the end of
three years. If a part of the student teaching is given during the
third year, the same average is required in not less than 60 semester
hours.

Probation.
of any grading period a student who has a grade of
one half or more of the credit hours carried may be placed on

forth.
Eligibility for Participation in Inter- School Athletic Contests.
A
student to be eligible must have secured a passing grade in at
least twelve semester hours of work during the quarter preceding
each respective sport.
Placement Service.
The Placement Service of the College cooperates with the Placement Service of the State Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, thus offering additional facilities for the placement of our students and graduates.
The Placement Service has for its purpose first of all to assist
school officials to secure competent teachers, and second to aid
teachers to secure suitable positions in fields of service for which their
training best fits them.
The Placement Service is in charge of the Director of Teacher
Training, who answers all inquiries and gives personal attention to
school officials seeking competent teachers.
State Teachers College, Bloomsburg, Pa.
31
In order that the Placement Service may serve the interests of
the students to the best advantage, students are requested during the
time that they are doing their student teaching to fill out a "Registration Blank," giving personal information such as grades and subjects
which they are prepared to teach and desire to teach, their preference
as to the part of Pennsylvania in which they would like to teach, experience in teaching, and other personal data which Superintendents of
schools and school boards wish to know when seeking candidates for
positions.
The opinion of the Teacher Training Department is often sought
by school officials. The quality of the work done by students in College
courses as well as in student teaching is, therefore, a most important
element entering into the recommendation of students.
In order that the Placement Service may be of maximum benefit
to graduating students, it is necessary that those securing positions
advise the Director of Teacher Training immediately. This procedure
will not only avoid the recommending of a candidate for positions
after he is already employed, but will enable the Teacher Training
Department to keep in close touch with all those individuals who have
not secured teaching positions.
Students after graduation from the College are urged to keep up
their contacts with the Placement S'ervice and the Teacher Training
Department in order that the College may render further service not
only in helping students to secure better positions but to help them in
every possible way professionally.

IN-SERVICE EDUCATION OF TEACHERS
(Friday Evening and Saturday Morning Classes)
Tkis work is residence work so that all the facilities of the College, such as the library and laboratories, are available for the use of
the students.
There is always the possibility of offering anj course in any curriculum if circumstances permit. The offering is dependent upon two
things: first, the demand from teachers-in-service for the course and,
second, the availability of the faculty instructor. As the member of
the faculty conducting such a class receives no extra compensation it
must be offered as a part of his regular teaching load. We, therefore,
are limited to the offerings of those courses for which a member of the
faculty is found available for the work after the regular schedule for
the semester has been determined.
Any teacher in service who is interested in this plan will be fully
informed bj" communicating vrith the Dean of Instruction. The course
of study desired should be indicated.
A
The regular members of the faculty- will teach the courses.
fee
of five dollars is charged for each semester hour credit.
In accordance
with the certification regulations of the Department of Public Instruction six (6) semester hours per college semester is the maximum
amount which may he taken by a regularly employed
teacher.
At the present time the popularity
of courses offered to teachersin-service is evidenced by the fact that over 100 persons are now enrolled in such classes.
Most of them come to Bloomsburg for the Friday and Saturday classes, since the library or laboratory^ facilities
are then available.
Those desiring information relative to enrollment should communicate and if possible have a personal interview with the Dean of
Instruction,
College,
Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania.
State Teachers
Teachers-in-Service are urged to note carefully the following: (1)
Before taking advanced work be sure that you are familiar with the
State regulations covering the type of certification desired, and decide
definitely the Fields that you desire covered by your State Certificate.
(2) Be sure that the work which you take will be accepted for certification by the Department of Public Instruction and that it will
definitely advance your standing towards the certificate that you
desire.
In other words, make sure before you begin a course that it
will be credited towards j'our certificate.
(3) In case of doubt state
your case to Dr. Henr^' Klonower, Director, Teacher Education and
Certification, Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
THE LABORATORY SCHOOL FACILITIES OF THE COLLEGE
Those who are to become teachers should have ample preparation
in teaching in tj-pical school situations.
Considerable attention has
been given to enlarging and strengthening the training school facilities of the State Teachers College at Bloomsburg.
The Benjamin
Franklin School on our campus houses a kindergarten, special classes
for the mentally retarded, and grades one to six inclusive. There is a
training teacher in charge of each class, consequently, close supervision is given to the student teaching.
State Teachers College, Bloomsburg, Pa.
37
In addition to the Training School the elementary grades of the
public schools of the town of Bloomsburg are used for student teaching.
Student teaching in the secondary field is done in the juniorsenior high schools of Bloomsburg and Williamsport, the high schools
of Berwick and Danville. The complete cooperation of the school
authorities of the towns of Bloomsburg, Williamsport, Berwick, and
Danville makes it possible to have a variety of adequate facilities for
the training of teachers for the graded schools and secondary schools.
For the preparation of rural teachers, one-room schools in Columbia County, adjacent to the Teachers College are used. Through the
cooperation of the school authorities in the rural districts of Hemlock
and Mount Pleasant Townships it is possible to have facilities for the
training of rural teachers.
The rural and urban elementary school training facilities, and the
junior and senior high school training facilities of the College are
typical of the public schools in our service area. The students, therefore, have ample opportunity to observe well-trained teachers at work
and to develop skill in teaching by actual experience under public
school conditions.

The work of the Regular Session will be scheduled so that one

the work for a three semester hour course, except where adjustments
for laboratory courses are needed. Six semester hours' credit is the
normal load for a six weeks' session.
An opportunity for additional work will be provided this summer
a three weeks' Pre-Session and a three weeks' Post-Session. The
work of the Pre-Session and Post-Session will be scheduled so that
two ninety-minute periods per day for five days per week will constitute the work for a three semester hour credit course except where adjustment for laboratory courses is needed. Three semester hours is
the normal load for the three weeks* sessions.

An important feature of the regular Summer Session is the observation and demonstration school, which includes all the grades of the
elementary school, a class of mentally retarded children, and the three
grades of the junior high school. A skillful teacher is in charge of
each grade. Here teachers may observe and have demonstrated for
them desirable practices in modem teaching procedures.
The student teaching in grades 7, 8 and 9 has proved to be a
popular feature of our regular Summer Session. Opportunity is offered to those who must secure credit in the Secondary field to observe
and participate in the operation of a well-organized junior high school.

COLLEGE GOVERNMENT
A
State Teachers College is a professional institution for the
education of teachers for our public schools. The College, therefore,
requires the maintenance of high standards in academic work, balanced

AN ENRICHED PROGRAM OF STUDIES
Curriculums for the education of teachers should be constantly
re-examined in terms of the needs of the public schools. An effort
has been made to adjust the curriculum of the teachers colleges to
meet these needs. In accordance with this policy, the Presidents of
the State Teachers Colleges, with the approval of the Superintendent
of Public Instruction, have rearranged the courses, thereby enriching
the curriculums. The first two years of the rearranged curriculums
will give the students a more thorough academic background.
The revised curriculums in the State Teachers Colleges have as
their main objective, the reorganization of the sequential relationship of courses so that the professional work v,t.11 be cumulative and
progressive.
There will be distinctly professional courses in the first
year, more professional courses in the second year, and still more in
the third and fourth years.
The following curriculums were inaugurated at State Teachers
September 7, 1937:

make this decision at the end of their freshman year. This certification is valid for three years, during which time twelve semester hours of advanced credit in the elementary field must be
earned in order to renew it for three more years. This process
is continued until the four-year requirement for the degree of

CHOOSING A CURRICULUM
In order that entering students may have an opportunity to explore their interests and try out their abilities and aptitudes in the
College situation, a uniform curriculum for the first year is followed
by those expecting to teach academic subjects in the Secondary and
Elementary schools. Those expecting to teach commercial subjects in
the Secondary schools also follow a uniform curriculum for the first
year.
Following the first year's experience with courses in English,
Speech, Geography, Science, Health Education, History, Appreciation
of Art and Music, and Place and Purpose of Education in the Social
Order (including School Visitation), the student is in a position to
choose electives in either the Elementary or Secondary curriculums
for the second year, basing his decision on his Freshman courses.
After having completed courses in English, Speech, Health Education,
Economic Geography, Place and Purpose of Education in the Social
Order (including School Visitation) as well as courses in Bookkeeping
and Accounting, Shorthand, Typewriting and Business Mathematics,
the prospective commercial teacher is in a better position to choose
either the Commercial, Accounting, Secretarial, or Retail Selling sequence depending upon his first year's experience.
During the Freshman year, to further inform entering students of
the nature of the teaching profession, all students take an orientation
course entitled "Place and Purpose of Education in the Social Order"
(including school visitation). Classrooms of all types and levels are
visited. In class, such topics are studied as: How to Study, How to
Budget Time, Campus Services, Administrative Organization of the
College, The Requirements and Possibilities of Teaching as a Profession, Self-Analysis to Determine Fitness for Teaching; all of which
are consciously planned to help students to choose their curriculum
at the beginning of the second year. Such guidance based on professional information and personal analysis is carried on by means of
conferences by faculty members with individual students. Persons
entering the teaching profession of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania today must view themselves in the light of the mental, physical
and social requirements and possibilities of a career as an educator.
At
the outset of the Sophomore year, a second choice is necessary.
Elementary Curriculum is chosen, a student may specialize in
the Kindergarten-Primary, Intermediate, Rural, or Special Education
Group referred to as Groups I, II, and III in other parts of this catalogue. If the Secondary Curriculum is chosen, two fields of specialization are selected from among the following: English, French, Latin,
Social Studies, Speech, Mathematics, Science and Geography. If the
Business Education Curriculum has been followed for one year, to continue one must choose a sequence from the following: Commercial
(which certifies in all commercial subjects), Accounting, Secretarial,
and Retail Selling.
If the
Thus the specialized work of the last three years is based on one
year of general preparation for the purpose of acquainting students
with the nature of the teaching profession, and at the same time to
aid in the prediction of the professional promise of teaching success.
Following the first year, a change from one curriculum to another
may be requested by the student or advised by the Dean of Instruction.
This arrangement provides all students an opportunity to explore.

DEPARTMENT OF AVIATION EDUCATION
AVIAIHON FOR THE ARMY AND NAVY
During the past two college years the college cooperated with the
Civil Aeronautics Administration in training students to become aviators.
The location of the college with relation to the Bloomsburg
Airport creates a favorable situation for the Civil Pilot Training Pro-
gram.
Bloomsburg Airport, within walking distance of the College,
one of the finest of
is
its size in
the East.
In July, 1942, at the request of the Civil Aeronautics Administration, the flight training offered at Bloomsburg as an extracurricular phase came to an end. To meet an virgent war need, the
college was asked to conduct full-time programs of flight and ground
school in eight-week periods. During the first eight-weeks session,
thirty Army and ten Navy pilots were trained. In the second eightweeks period, Bloomsburg, along with eight other institutions of
higher learning in the United States, was so honored as to do Navy
pilot training exclusively, and sixty Naval Aviation Cadets are taking
the course at the present time. Five of these institutions, including
Bloomsburg, were asked to do Naval Flight Instructor preparation.
These men, commissioned Lieutenants (j.g.) and Ensigns in the United
States Navy, will be on the campus for twenty-four weeks and then
begin instructing for the Navy at Pensacola, Florida, and Corpus
Christi, Texas.
PRE-FLIGHT AERONAUTICS FOR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS
The College is planning to institute a four-year course leading
to certification of teachers in Aviation to instruct in the high schools
of Pennsylvania in the field of Pre-flight Aeronautics. Twenty
teachers-in-service began this course during the past summer and wiU
continue their courses toward certification.
Growing out of an active participation in the Aviation Program

The Bloomsburg State Teachers College will continue a course in
Pre-Flight Aeronautics for secondary school teachers which was begun
last year. On June 1, 1941, a letter was sent to Pennsylvania School
Officials, by the Bloomsburg State Teachers College, announcing a
class for teachers of Aeronautics. Later the Civilian Pilot Training
Program developed plans for teachers to receive instruction along
with Aviators being trained for the Army and Navy.
Bloomsburg State Teachers College organized the first class in
the United States devoted exclusively to the instruction of teachers
of Pre-Flight Aeronautics.
The enrollment was limited to twenty.
College instructors certificated by the National Government carried the
first group through to a successful conclusion.
A large number of
these teachers returned to their high schools to begin teaching PreFlight Aeronautics in September, 1942.
Others are now teaching
Aviation at leading Universities and occupy positions on the staff of
the Civilian Aeronautics Administration.
During the 1943 Summer Sessions, the college will continue
classes for teachers of Pre-Flight Aeronautics on both the Primary
and Advanced levels. These courses may be used as electives for the
fields of Science, Geography, or Mathematics to meet the requirements
for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Education, and the College
Provisional (or Permanent) Certificate.
Since the enrollment is limited, persons interested in Pre-Flight
Aeronautics should make immediate reservations by addressing Dr.
Thomas P. North, Dean of Instruction, State Teachers College,
Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania.

DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS EDUCATION
PURPOSE
The State Department of Public Instruction has designated the
State Teachers College, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, as one of the institutions in which the high school commercial teachers of the Commonwealth may be educated. The Bachelor of Science in Education degree
is conferred on the completion of the Business Education Curriculum
authorized by the State Council of Education.
Graduates of this curriculum are fully certified to supervise or
teach commercial subjects in any junior or senior high school of Pennsylvania. This curriculum is so broad that it not only educates students to teach but also gives them the choice of several business
vocations.
The training provides adequate preparation in business
knowledge and skills as well as teaching theory and practice.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
This curriculum has proved so popular since it was organized in
1930, that only a limited number carefully selected students are admitted. All persons who expect to enroll as Freshmen should make
their reservations early in the year. Only the better high school students are accepted. This does not mean that new students must have
had commercial work in high school or business college. Many students who have not had previous commercial training complete the
Business Education Curriculum successfully.
Prospective students are urged to come to the College and meet
the
members
of our faculty.
As this curriculum is of collegiate grade, advanced standing is not granted
for work completed in secondary schools, business colleges or unaccredited
business schools.
ADVANCED STANDING
Entrants who have earned previous College credits should submit
a transcript of such work before they enroll. If advanced standing
for work completed in other institutions is expected, credit transcripts
should accompany the application for enrollment. Advanced standing
will be granted for work completed in other institutions of college
grade, when, in the judgment of the Dean of Instruction, such courses
seem to be equivalent to subjects contained in the Business Education
Curriculum.
If a tentative evaluation of completed college work is desired, a
transcript showing the name of the course, the grade, and the credit
hours should be forwarded to the Director of the Department of Business Education. This evaluation may precede the enrollment of the
student.

EQUIPMENT
Business skills and practice cannot be learned wholly from books.
The Department of Business Education is well equipped with the most
modem office machines and devices. All desks, tables, chairs, files,
and other business equipment are new. Students learn to operate
standard and noiseless typewriters, addressographs, adding machines,
posting and bookkeeping machines, calculation and ditto machines,
mimeoscopes, multigraphs, mimeographs, and dictaphones. By operaating these machines, students acquire a well-rounded knowledge of
the mechanics of business which is invaluable in teaching.
OFFICE PRACTICE AND BUSINESS EXPERIENCE
A student completing this curriculum has had an opportunity to
spend one and one-half years in office practice courses. In these three
courses in office practice, a student acts as an actual business worker
in four different offices where he is held responsible for the same
vocational efficiency as the regularly employed office workers. This
actual experience is supplemented by class instruction covering the
following: office skill and phases of business knowledge; alphabetic,
geographic, and numeric filing with actual practice; dictation and
transcription at high rates of speed; the cutting of stencils, and the
operation of the mimeograph machine; the making of stencils with the
mimeoscope; the preparation of copy and duplication on the ditto and
multigraph machines; the complete operation of the dictaphone; advanced work in business papers; the operation of the Burroughs posting machine and the Underwood bookkeeping machine; and the operation of adding machines and calculators.
The courses in office practice are not textbook courses but represent the actual carrying out of business transactions. While there is
no substitute for business experience, we feel that such actual experience as provided in connection with the above outlined work in
office practice materially aids the teacher of commercial subjects when
he attacks classroom problems.

high schools are used. In addition to the Commercial Department of
the Bloomsburg High School, the Berwick High School, and Danville
High School, three high schools, located in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, now serve as student teaching centers for Commercial students.
Of these three high schools, two of them are junior high schools, and
the third a senior high school. The three high schools used in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, are: The Senior High School, Andrew Curtin
Junior High School, and Theodore Roosevelt Junior High School. In
the six high schools cooperating with the College for student teaching purposes, there are fifteen regular teachers whose purpose it is to
help the training of students.
and teach
In addition to the fifteen cooperating teachers, a supervisor, the
Director of the College Department of Business Education, visits these
schools weekly for the purpose of supervision and conferences with
student teachers.

the actual participation of the student as a teacher who is in charge of
a classroom. Since the amount of student teaching is more than twice
that required by the State for certification, we feel that his apprenticeship period under the conditions which we have set up goes a long
way toward giving our graduates experience in actual school situations before they are ready to become regular teachers in the public
school system of the State of Pennsylvania.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR GRADUATES
a great demand in Pennsylvania at the present time for
properly trained, degree-holding commercial teachers. With the
changing certification requirements, properly trained commercial
teachers will find their way into positions as supervisors and heads of
commercial departments in the various secondary schools.
There
is
Until recent years, little commercial work was offered in the
junior high schools. In connection with the exploratory and vocational
guidance work carried on in the junior high schools, courses in Junior
Business Training and other similar courses have been rapidly growing in favor. As a result properly trained teachers are in demand.
by
The demand for commercial teachers may easily be accounted for
from public and private sources which show that one-third
figures
of the high school students are pursuing commercial courses. Judging from the steady growth of the last five years, it would seem that
the demand for degree-trained teachers in the commercial field will
continue.
Undoubtedly there will be a steady change in methods,
skills, and techniques used in teaching.
The State Teachers Colleges
may well be expected to do pioneer work in progressive commercial
education.
TEACHER PLACEMENT
The Department of Business Education acts as a clearing house
for employment purposes. Our graduates are placed without charge
through the cooperation of the Placement Service of the Department of Public Instiniction and the Placement Service of our own
College.
The Department of Business Education likewise takes a
special interest in securing positions for its graduates. Teachers-inservice are enabled in many instances to secure better positions with
the help of these various agencies for placement.
PLACEMENT RECORD
The type of business education provided at Bloomsburg can be
measured in no better way than by the fact that 90% of the graduates of the Department of Business Education have found employment in either teaching or business and 80% of this group are now
teaching in over 125 towns and cities throughout Pennsylvania and
surrounding states. High Schools and Colleges located in the State
of Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Florida, and Virginia have sought the
services of teachers graduated from Bloomsburg.

The Department of Music offers thorough courses in applied music
and theory of music under efficient instructors to beginners and advanced students. The courses are designed to meet the needs of those
seeking a general musical education and a broad cultural background.
All teachers are urged to understand the fundamentals of the art, at
least, because music today is a recognized factor in the development
of the child.
The instruction is not standardized and formal. Rather an attempt is made to analyze the individual musical and technical problems of each student and to offer solutions based upon constructive
thinking and consideration for the individual personality.
The State Teachers College at Bloomsburg offers superior advantages for hearing music, an important phase of musical training.
In addition to the student and faculty recitals of the Department of
Music, the Entertainment Course offers several outstanding musical
events during the season; and extra concerts are occasionally presented by world famous artists.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
Piano
Careful attention is given to acquiring a sound foundation in all
the phases of piano technique through the study of the best piano
music. For beginners, folk-songs or simple pieces by great composers are used. Then follows a study of the works of Bach,
Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann, and other composers of the romantic and modem periods.
Organ
Students must have a good piano technic. Considerable time is
spent in acquiring a facile pedal technic; then the study of the
organ works of Bach begins. These are supplemented by the
best organ compositions of the various periods in musical history.
In addition, students are prepared for playing church services.
Voice
The art of singing is presented with utmost detail and precision.
The fundamentals of tone production, breathing, diction, interpretation, and stage deportment are emphasized. A careful selection of repertoire is made to suit the needs and the ability of the
singer.
Students are trained for recital and church work.
Violin
Great stress is placed upon position, tone, quality, the intricacies
of bowing, technique, repertoire, and the preparedness for solo and
ensemble work in public recital. In addition to exercises by Hohmann, Kayser, Kreutzer, Musin, Paganini, and others, pieces by
Bach, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Vieuxtempi, and all the
leading composers are studied. Advanced students are assigned
concert! and sonatas of the standard violin literature.

ages; to count nature a familiar
acquaintance and art an intimate
friend; to gain a standard for the
appreciation of other men's work

criticism of

brary in your pocket, and feel
its
resources behind you in whatever

this is the offer of the college for
the best four years of your
life,
