BUILDING A TEMPLE
A

builder builded a temple,
it with grace and skill;
Pillars and groins and arches
All fashioned to work his will.

He wrought

Men

saw its beauty
never know decay.
Great is thy skill, O builder:
Thy fame shall endure for aye."
said as they

"It shall

A

teacher builded a temple

With loving and

infinite care,

Planning each arch with patience,
Laying each stone with prayer.
None praised her unceasing efforts
None knew of her wondrous plan,
For the temple the teacher builded
Was unseen by the eyes of man.

Gone is the builder's temple.
Crumbled into the dust;

Low

lies

each stately

pillar.

Food for consuming rust.
But the temple the teacher builded
Will last while the ages

roll,

For that beautiful unseen temple
Is a child's immortal soul.

mal

Away back in 1839, a private academy was opened at Bloomsburg. C. P. Waller, a graduate of Williams College, successfully conducted the school for two years. Later public school teachers taught
in the academy during their summer vacations. Among the outstanding teachers during this period were Joe Bradley and D. A. Beckley.
In 1856, D. J. Waller drew up a charter, which was subscribed to
citizens of 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 modern 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.

$1200 in a single week for the fine bell which foi-merly called the
students to their classes. The first faculty comprised Professor
Cai-ver, teacher of mathematics and the higher English branches;
Rev. J. R. Dimm, teacher of Latin and Greek; and Miss Sarah
Cai-\'er, teacher of the lower English branches.
In the autumn of 1867, James P. Wickersham, State Supei'intendent of Public Instruction, was traveling through Bloomsburg on
the train. He saw the new school on the hill "ablaze with lights" and
thought the Literarj' 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 donnitory 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 Noi-mal 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.

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 donnitory 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
Noiunal School from 1890 to 1906. During his administration an
addition to the four-story donnitory and the gymnasium were built.
Science Hall was opened in the Fall of 1906 just after his resignation.
Dr. D. J. Waller, Jr., i-esponded a second time to the summons of
the trustees, serving as principal until 1920 when he retired from
active duties. Dr. Waller gave the Bloomsburg State Normal School
twenty-seven years of splendid service as its principal.

He was succeeded by Dr. Charles H. Fisher, who came to the
NoiTnal School from the State Department of Public Instruction. He
served at Bloomsbui'g 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 caane from the State Department of Public Instmction.
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 coonplete 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 impi-ovement 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 extracurricular 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.

War programs involving contracts with the Department of

These activities enabled the college to face post war problems
in education with experiences growing out of wai'-time experimentation. Already the first fruits are evident in the designation in April,

TYPES OF STUDENT ASSISTANCE





1
Student employment by the college 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 deinonstrated ability to meet the standards of the college by completing
A few opporin a satisfactory manner the work of the first year.
tunities are available to Freshmen for substitute service.

All work is paid for at rates from thirty to forty cents per hour,
and the maximum number of hours which a student may be employed
upon work administered by the college is twenty-five hours per week.
This means that under the most favorable conditions the maximum
amount that may be earned is ten dollars per week, and that for the
most part this is available for upper class students only.





2
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 of the student, and the housekeeper, and approved by
the Dean of Women or the Dean of Men. Until this agreement is
submitted and approved, the enrollment is temporary.





3
State Scholarships The State offers each year, through competitive examination, one scholarship worth $100.00 in each county.

These are administered by the Department of Public Instmction, and
infoi-mation concerning them may be secured from Mr. James G.
Pentz, Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.





4 American Association of University Women Loan Fund The
Bloomsburg Branch of the A. A. U. W. has a loan fund open to a girl
in the Junior Class. Infoi-mation may be secured from Mrs. Norman
Hoffman, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania.





5
Alumni Loan Fund Our Alumni Association has a fund from
which loans at very reasonable rates are made to students. Information concerning this Fund may be secured from the Chairman of the
Alumni Loan Fund Committee.

Loans are to be repaid to the Treasurer in monthly payments of
not less than $10.00 each and every month beginning four months
after the student graduates.
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 Bruce Albert Memorial Scholarship The Alumni Association provides this scholarship of $100.00 to a worthy Freshmen or

The Three Year Plan.
Students wishing to complete the requirements for the degree
of Bachelor of Science in Education may now do so by attending
college three calendar years. Each year now consists of two semesters
of eighteen weeks each plus a three-week pre-session, a six-week
summer session, and a three-week post session.

High school graduates may enter college at the beginning of
any semester or summer session with the standards of admission,
graduation and the award of teaching certificate remaining the same
under the new program as under the usual four year plan.
Students wishing to earn their degrees under the usual four year
arrangement may do so. The new program is not a replacement of the
usual four year program but is an alternate designed to help both the
student with limited time and the demand and need for teachers in
our public schools.

Scheduling Student's Work.

At the beginning of evei-y 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
to the ofl'ice of the Dean of Instruction.

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.
In evaluating and crediting the work of a student transferring
college, credit shall be given only for work having a
grade one letter point or the equivalent above the lowest passing
grade of the institution from which the student is transferring.

All evaluations are made by the Dean of Instruction and are
subject to change according to revisions in the requii'ements for
graduation.

State Teachers College, Bloomsburg, Pa.

Advanced credit will be given for equivalent courses in approved
institutions of collegiate grade, but no student may obtain a Bachelor
of Science degree at Bloomsburg without a minimum residence of one
year in the curriculum in which student intends to graduate. Students
desiring to take work at any other institution must make written
•application to the Dean of Instnaction for approval in advance.
Crtherwise credits may not be accepted. Garrespondence courses are
not offered or accepted by this college. Transfer of credits having
the lotvest passing grade will not be accepted.
Progress Reports and Records.

For the purpose of reporting the pix>gress of each student, each
semester is divided into periods of nine weeks. During each period
the instiTictor 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 report 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.

Placement Service.

The Placement Service of the college cooperates with the Placement Sei-vice 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 train-'
ing best fits them.

state Teachers College, Bloomsburg, Pa.

29

The Placement Service is in charge of the Director, who answers
inquiries and gives personal attention to school officials seeking
competent teachers.
all

In order that the Placement Sei-\'ice 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 contracts with the Placement Servace 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.

Department of Public I'nstruction for the years taught and a
statement presented by the student, notifying the Department
of the years not taught.

3.

The i-esponsible official of the college, from which the holder of
the certificate expects to secure a degree, should certify on the
that the twelve semester hours subtranscript:
or otherwise
mitted to the Department of Public Instruction will be accepted
by the institution as additional work toward the completion of
the elementary degree curriculum. If work has been completed at more than one college, the student should have all

WTierever possible the superintendent, college officials, and the
student involved should work out an agreement whereby all
credentials
score cards, transcripts, certificate, and statement
relative to teaching will be sent to the Department in one





enclosure.

THE LABORATORY SCHOOL FACILITIES OF THE COLLEGE

been given to enlarging and strengthening the training school faciliThe Bejamin

Student teaching in the secondary field is done in the juniorsenior high schools of Bloomsburg and Berwick, and the high school
of Danville. The complete cooperation of the school authorities of
the towns of Bloomsburg, 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.

The 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 slow learning child acquires knowledge and information
through his own experiences. Manual activities have a prominent
place in the school program because they not only bring the satisfaction that results from having achieved some success but also because they provide a means for developing habits and attitudes of
work which may prove helpful to the pupils when they ai'e faced with
the problem of earning a living. In many cases, through handwork,
idleness in school is replaced by some worthwhile activity. In other
cases an attitude of not belonging is changed into one of cooperation;
and embarrassment and defeat no longer characterize the child.

The student teaching program in the secondary field includes the
providing of opportunities for learning to teach the general fields of
the junior-senior high school by actual teaching and obsei-vation under
the supervision of specifically prei>ared training teachers. These
general fields include: English, social studies, mathematics, the
sciences, geography, and foreign languages. Training teachers in
secondary education are selected on the basis of certification, through
preparation to teach their respective subject matter fields, professional preparation to educate others to teach, and desirable personality factors. These specially prepared master teachers have, therefore, two responsibilities, one teaching children efficiently, the other
guiding young men and women in learning to teach.

PROGRAMS FOR VETERANS
Bloomsburg, in recent years, has gained an enviable reputation in
educational programs for Servicemen and Veterans, largely because of the (1) size of the college, (2) character and experience of
its faculty, (3) friendly spirit existing among students and college
personnel, (4) assurance of individual attention, (5) refresher courses
and individual tutoring (free of charge) to enrolled students, (6)
easy accessability, and (7) advisors in all departments.

The college is under contract with the Veterans Administration
for the education of veterans of World War 11. Persons desiring to
teach have a choice of one of the four-year curriculums leading to the
Degree of Bachelor of Science in Education in the fields of Business,
Elementary, or Secondary Education.
Provision has been

made

for educational benefits for veterans of

World War II under two acts of Congress. Public Law 346 provides
for twelve months of education, plus the number of months of service,
for those men and women who served at least ninety days in the active
military or naval service subsequent to September 16, 1940. Public
Law 16 applies to veterans with disabilities. If such disability was
incurred in service subsequent to September 16, 1940, and resulted in a
vocational handicap, the veteran is entitled to vocational rehabilitation
to overcome the handicap. The vocational program, however, must not
extend over more than four years.
Benefits under these laws apply to both part-time and full-time
students.

Veterans will receive advice with respect to their benefits at the

STUDENT PARTICIPATION

IN

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 pi"ovided through a broad

program of college organizations and activities which are developed
and controlled through the participation of the entire college in the
Community Government Association. This organization, through the
College Council, is the general control body for the various college
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
country, wrestling, tennis, and baseball. Women receive extra-curricular credit for hiking, skating, playing volleyball, basketball, tennis,
and baseball.

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 will 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
College,

(1)

at State Teachers

Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, beginning September

7,

1987:

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 the 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 '"Elective for Special Education" earned in addition to completing the Four- Year Elementary Curriculum may be used to certify a person as a Speech
Correctionist or to teach Special Classes for the Mentally Retarded.
This means that a person will he certified to teach in
the elementary school, and at the same time certified as a Speech
Correctionist or to teach adjustment, special, opportunity, or
orthogenic classes in the elementary school.

GUIDANCE

IN

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 teadi 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-Aanalysis 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

necesspeKindergarten-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:

Secretarial, and Retail Selling.

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 Instruc-

DEVELOPMENT OF AERONAUTICS AT
BLOOMSBURG
In the fall of 1940 the State Teachers College at Bloomsburg,
Pennsylvania, was asked, along with approximately 600 other institutions of higher learning, to participate in the program of Civilian
Pilot Training sponsored by the Civil Aeronautics Administration.
This flight and ground school training for college men was on an
extra curricular basis and was to form a reservoir of pilots in case
an emergency developed in the United States. This emergency became a crisis December 7, 1941, and fortunately ready to meet this
situation was a group of trained pilots, including 100 trained at
Bloomsburg. Since that time over 900 men were trained at Bloomsburg for the Army and Navy as Service Pilots, Aviation Cadets, and
Naval Flight Instructors.

The Department

of Public Instruction announced in April, 1943,

that the State Teachers College at Bloomsburg had been approved
by the State Department of Public Instruction as the first institution
to offer courses leading to a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education with specialization in the field of Aeronautics.

The field of aeronautics for teachers will include such courses
as Theory of Flight, Navigation, Meteorology, Civil Air Regulations,
Aircraft Engine Operation, Aircraft Communication, Climatology,
History and Identification of Aircraft, Mathematics and Physics.
Flight experience evidenced by a private pilot's license will be required to make college certificates permanent. Presenting the coui-ses
will be an aeronautics faculty composed of 12 people. This group
holds a combination of ground instructor ratings totaling 30. These
ratings are obtained by passing fedei-al examinations conducted by
the Civil Aeronautics Administration of the Department of Commerce and the examinations consist of 200 questions for each individual rating.

PRE-FLIGHT AERONAUTICS FOR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS
The College has instituted a four-year curriculum leading to
certification of teachers in Aviation to instract 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
will continue their coui'ses 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 1,000 young men and women to become airline personnel, 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.

On June 1, 1941, a letter was sent to Pennsylvania
chool Officials, by the Bloomsburg State Teachei-s College, announcing a class for teachers of Aeronautics. Later the Civilian Pilot
Training Program developed plans for teachers to receive instruction
along wifh Aviators being trained for the Army and Navy.

fun

Bloomsburg State Teachers College organized the first class in
the United States devoted exclusively to the instruction of teachei'S
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.

State Teachers College. Bloomsburg. Pa.

During the 1946 Summer Sessions, the

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.

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 rs
not granted for ivork completed in secondary schools, business colleges or unaccredited busijiess 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
Adtranscripts should accompany the application for enrollment.
vanced 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 Directoi- 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
modern office machines and devices. All desks, tables, chairs, files,
and other business equipment are new. Students learn to operate
noiseless typewriters, addressographs, adding machines,
posting and bookkeeping machines, calculation and ditto machines,
mineoscopes, multigraphs, mimeographs, and dictaphones. By operating these machines, students acquire a well-rounded knowledge of the
mechanics of business which is invaluable in teaching.

standard

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 worker.
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.

partment of the Bloomsburg High School, the Berwick High School,
and Danville High School, three high schools, located in Williamsport,
Pa., now serve as student teaching centers for Commercial students.
Of these three high schools, two 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 is to help
the training of students.
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 regularly employed teachers, planning the course units of work, and lessons, and
finally the actual participation of the student as a teacher 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

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

properly

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 de-

mand.

The demand for commercial teachers may easily be accounted
for by figures from public and private sources which show that onethird' 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 Instruction and the Placement Service of our own College.
The Department of Business Education likewise takes a special
interest in securing positions for its graduates.
Teacher-in-service
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
