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.
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 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 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 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, 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.
Principal Carver left in 1871. Charles G. Barkley, Esq., a forsuperintendent of schools, acted as principal from December 20, 1871, to March 27, 1872. His successor was the Rev.
John Hewitt, rector of the Episcopal Church at Bloomsburg, who
served as prinicipal from March, 1872, to June, 1873. In 1873, Dr.
T. L. Griswold became principal, serving until 1877.

mer county

Those early years were trying onesj 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. 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
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 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.

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 wox*k of the first year. A few opportunities 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.

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.

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.

Raising the Quality Point Average for Student Teaching or
Graduation.
If a student fails to attain the required quality point average of
1.0, he may raise his average by repeating courses in which he received a grade of D or less, or by taking courses other than the repeated courses upon the approval of the Dean of Instruction and the
Student Progress Committee. The divisor in the computation of the
quality point average is the number of semester hours earned.
Residence Required for Graduation.
The minimum period of residence at this college is one year or
its equivalent. Former students certified for teaching by having
completed two or three years of college work and who are candidates
for the Bachelor of Science Degree in Education must complete at
least one-half of the remaining work required for the degree in residence at Bloomsburg. Residence credit may be earned in the classes
of a regular semester in summer school or in Saturday classes for
Teachers-in-Service.

Probation.

At the end of any grading period a student who has a quality
point average of .80, but not less than .50, will be placed on probation until the next grading period. If at the end of the second
grading period he has not improved, he will be advised to withdraw from college. Such students may be permitted to enroll subject to the following conditions:
1.
Written application signed by the student and his parents
in advance.
The application shall state that the student

Any student having at the end of any grading period a quality
point average of less than .50 will be automatically eliminated from
further enrollment. Such students may be placed on probation for
another grading period on the recommendation of the Student Progress Committee.

Eligibility for Participation in Intercollegiate Athletic Contests.

A
least

student to be eligible must have secured a passing grade in at
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, who answers
and gives personal attention to school officials seeking

all inquiries

competent teachers.
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 Service 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.

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.

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.

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 are 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;

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 observation under
the supervision of specifically prepared training teachers. These
general fields include: Aviation, 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 II. 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

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

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

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 modern school work. The extra-curricular

work during the past year included the following:

Kappa Delta Pi originated at the University of Illinois in 1909
as the Illinois Educational Club, and was incorporated June 8, 1911,
under the laws of the State of Illinois as the Honorary Education
Fraternity. On October 4, 1932, this title was changed to Kappa
Delta Pi, an Honor Society in Education, and so registered at the
office of the Secretary of State at Springfield, Illinois. Both men
and women, who have attained the college rating of junior or higher,
and have a scholarship record in the upper quartile of the institution,
are eligible for membership. Kappa Delta Pi is both an undergraduate and graduate society, now comprising 148 chapters with
more than seventy thousand members. It has the unique distinction of
having a Laureate Chapter composed of outstanding educators
throughout the world, the intent being to make this in essence an
academy of educators similar to the academy of science or academy
of letters.

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 Collegs, 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 culmulative 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 are

in operation at

State Teachers

College, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania.
(1)

Four-Year Elementary Curriculum leading to the B.S.

in Education, with college certifiication in (a) Kindergarten-Primary,
(b) Intermediate, (c) Rural fields, (d) As a teacher of classes of
the mentally retarded, (e) Speech correctionist. Six additional
hours of electives are required for graduation in the last two

areas.
(2) Four- Year Secondary Curriculum leading to B.S. in Education,
with college certification in two or more of the following fields:

(3)

Commercial Mathematics, Economics, Junior Business Training,
Office Practice, Salesmanship, Shorthand, and Typewriting. Retail Selling may also be chosen as a field for certification.

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 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. If the 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, Geo-

State Teachers College, Bloomsburg, Pa.

42

graphy and Aviation. If the Business Education Curriculum has been
followed for one year, to continue one must choose a sequence from
the following: Commercial (which certifies all in commercial subjects), Accounting, 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 Instruction. This arrangement provides all students an opportunity to
explore, try out, and counsel with the faculty while they are taking
courses having a general bearing on the Elementary, Secondary, or
Business teacher training situations before a curriculum for specialization

is selected.

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.

PRE-FLIGHT AERONAUTICS FOR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS
The College has

a four-year curriculum leading to
high schools

instituted

certification of teachers in Aviation to instruct in the
of Pennsylvania in the field of Pre-Flight Aeronautics.

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.
Primary or Elementary Ground School Course
4 Sem. Hrs.
Will include: Civil Air Regulations; Elementary Meteorology;
Air Navigation; General Service or Aircraft Instruments and Parachutes; Engines and Power Plants; and Theory of Flight.
Secondary or Advanced Ground School Course
6 Sem. Hrs.
Will include Aerodynamics Advanced Meteorology, and Navigation; with some attention to History of Aviation; Aircraft Engines;
Use of Airways Communications and Lighting Aids; Theory of Flight;
Flight Techniques; and Psychology of Flight Instruction.
:

;

These courses are to be paid for at the usual rate of $6.00 per
and may be applied in the fields of Mathematics, Science,
and Geography for the purposes of meeting graduation and certification requirements. They may also be applied in other fields with the
preapproval of the Dean of Instruction.
credit hour

State Teachers College, Bloomsburg, Pa.

During the 1947 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.

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 Blomsburg 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.
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.

DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS
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 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 Curriculum successfully.

the

Prospective students are urged to come to the College and meet
of our faculty.

members

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. Ad-

vanced standing will be granted for work completed in other institutions of college grade, when, in the judgement of the Dean of Instruction, such courses seem to be equivalent to subjects contained
in the Business 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. This evaluation may precede the enrollment of the student.

EQUIPMENT
and practice cannot be learned wholly from books.
The Department of Business 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 standard
noiseless typewriters, addressographs, adding machines, posting and
bookkeeping machines, calculation and ditto machines, mimeoscopes,
multigraphs, mimeographs, and dictaphones. By operating 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 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 business subjects
when he attacks classroom problems.

STUDENT TEACHING
In order that Senior students may have an opportunity to observe and teach in actual class rooms, the Business departments
of six high schools are used.
In addition to the Business Department 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 Business 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 from
the Department of Business at the college, visits these schools weekly for the purpose of supervision and conferences with student
teachers.

State Teachers College, Bloomsburg, Pa.

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.

is a great demand in Pennsylvania at the present time for
trained degree-holding teachers of business. With the
changing certification requirements, properly trained business teachers will find their way into positions as supervisors and heads of
departments in the various secondary schools.

There

properly

Until recent years, little work in business 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 business teachers may easily be accounted
for by figures from public and private sources which show that onethird of the high school students are pursuing courses in business.
Judging from the steady growth of the last five years, it would seem
that the demand for degree-trained teachers in this 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 business education.

TEACHER PLACEMENT
The Department of Business 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 likewise takes a special interest in
securing positions for its graduates. Teachers-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 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.

Bachelor of Music.
Student, Royal Academy of Music,
Tobias Matthay Pianoforte School,
Dalcroze School of Music, London.

The Department of Music offers thorough courses in applied muand 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
sic

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.

CERTIFICATE IN MUSIC

A

special certificate signed by instructors giving private lessons
in music will be granted upon satisfactory completion of

and theory

the following requirements:

field. Teacher's endorsement of student's qualifications and

Haydn, Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann, and other composers of the

romantic and modern 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.

instrumental lessons, and time is given to sight reading and ear
training.
