Academy, Literary Institute, Literary Institute and State Normal
School, State Teachers College— such has been the development of the
present State Teachers College at Bloomsburg.
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 Joseph Bradley and D. A. Beckley.
In 1856, D. J. Waller, Sr. drew up a charter subscribed to bv worthy
citizens of Bloomsburg, which provided that the school be known as the
Bloom.iburg 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.
Henry Carver,
of Binghampton, N. Y., taught the school.
His unusual influence and personality had much to do with molding its
early policies. He insisted that a new building was essential for the
future development of the Eloomsburg Literary Institute.

Hartman; trustees, John G. Freeze. R. F. Clark and William Neal. Mr.
Carver assured the trustees that $15,000 would build a suitable building.
Tne energy and enthusiasm of the men were such that when people
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.

On April 4, 1867, that building, the present Carver Hall, was dedicated with gala observance by the townspeople. Members of the first
class at the new school— D. J. Waller, Jr., the late George E. Elwell,
the late Charles Unangst— by popular subscription raised $1,200 in
a .single week for the fine bell which formerly called the students to
classes. The first faculty comprised Professor Carver, teacher of

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 that
the Literary Institute's location would be ideal for a State Normal
School. Consequently at a meeting in 1868, at which he addressed the
citizens of Bloomsburg, it was decided to establish a Normal School
dormitory was completed at a cost of $36,000.
under the Act of 1857.
The school was recognized as a State Normal School on Februarv 19,
1869. In September of that year, 150 students were enrolled in the Normal Department and 80 in the Model School.
In the
A
The school was called the Bloomsburg Literary Institute and State
Normal School until it was purchased by the State on 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 as well as teacher training courses.
Principal Carver left in 1871. Charles G. Barkley, a former county
superintendent 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 principal from
March, 1872, to June, 1873. Dr. T. L. Griswold then 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 large 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 i890, 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 both built. Science Hail was opened in the Fall of 1906 just after his resignation.
Dr. D. J. Waller, Jr., served a second time as principal until 1920.
Dr. Waller gave the Bloomsburg State Normal School 27 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 im-

Dr. Haas resigned in August, 1939, to assume, for the second time,
the duties of State Superintendent of Public Instruction for the Com-

of Pennsylvania.
Before the passage of the first Selective Service Act in 1940, it
was apparent that the upsurge of industrial activity would decrease
enrollments in technical and professional institutions. Thus a transition made over a three-year period required only gradual adjustment
in plant, personnel, and student body.
War programs involving contracts with the Department of Commerce, Navy Department, National Office of Education, and the Bloomsburg Hospital, enabled the college to inaugurate educational services in
addition to teacher preparation, as follows:
Aviation began for college undergraduates in September, 1940;
and Navy Aviation Cadets in July, 1942; Naval Flight Instruction School in November, 1942; V-5 Program, Naval Aviation Cadets

PLACEMENT SERVICE
A BMUUI
of a college's contribution to American education
might well be the success it has in placing its graduates in the
educational field. Bloomsburg is proud of its placement record. Continuous follow-up studies of graduates of the past nineteen years
indicate that practically ninety percent have taught school, and that
another seven percent have been gainfully employed outside of the
teaching profession.
The college maintains the Placement Service for a two-fold purpose: to serve the public schools of Pennsylvania by bringing to the
attention of school officials worthy candidates for teaching positions,
and to help our graduates secure their first placements. The Director
of Placement Service, with offices in the Benjamin Franklin School,
has the following responsibilities:
To serve as chief contact person with those employing teachers,
with candidates, and with professional groups.
To recommend certain candidates for each particular vacancy
reported to his office.
To counsel with seniors concerning placement; including preparation of complete credential folders, techniques of applying for a position, and routines to be followed in aiding the Placement Service to
perform
efficiently.
To maintain a follow-up study of graduates each year.
The preparation and distribution of a distinctive brochure of
seniors to
all
school officials in a five state area.
Alumni of the college are urged to regard the Placement Service
as a permanent point of contact. The office frequently has calls for
experienceo! teachers. Alumni interested in changing positions should
confer with the Director and then keep his records up to date, notifying the office of graduate work pursued, changes in his certification,
new
addresses, and other pertinent information.
The Placement Service consistently
tries
to
adhere to these
general policies of operation:
To offer to employing officials a service that is professional,
1.
prompt, courteous, and reliable. Such service iucludes: nominating
candidates for teaching positions or for substituting work, information
on salary trends, or any service desired by school administrators.
2.
To prepare for all candidates credential folders that give an
accurate and complete description in order to help employers evaluate
a candidate's qualifications.
To recommend a candidate for the type of position and for
3.
the community where it is judged he will have the best opportunity to
serve and succeed.
4.
To encourage close contact with alumni and thus be in a position to aid employers in finding experienced teachers as well as to
further the professional careers of graduates.
5.
To serve as an information center to those in college concerning placement trends, areas of demand, and salary schedules.
G.
To cooperate with other placement agencies, educational organizations and governmental services in furthering the college's
service to education.
All communications relating to placement should be addressed to

things: first the demand for teachers-in-service for the course; and,
second, the availability of the faculty instructor. As a 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

Instruction,
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

Student teaching in the secondary field is done in the junior-senior
high schools of Bloomsburg, Berwick, and Catawissa, the high school of
and in three junior high schools and the Senior high school of
Williamsport. The complete cooperation of the school authorities of the
towns of Bloomsburg, Berwick, Catawissa, Danville, and Williamsport
makes it possible to have a varietv of adequate facilities for the training of teachers for the graded and secondary schools.
The elementary school training facilities, and the junior and senior
h qh 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.
;
Elementary Education provides preparation in these special fields:
Early Childhood Education, including Kindergarten, Grades One, Two.
and Three; Intermediate Education, Grades Four, Five, and Sixi_and
Rural Education for consolidated schools.

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; and embarrassment and
defeat no longer characterize the child.

the secondary field includes oppor-
tunities 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:

and foreign languages. Training teachers in secondary education are

selected on the basis of certification, thorough 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: that of
teaching children efficiently, and of guiding young men and women in
learning to teach.

presently enrolled students of the college, and others who have been
in attendance at an accredited college. Students enrolling at Bloomsburg for the first time should present a transcript of their college

Group Guidance.
In order that entering students may have an opportunity to
explore their interests, and try out their abilities and their aptitudes
in a college situation, a uniform curriculum is followed by all students
the freshman year. This includes a course, professional orientation,
to introduce students to the study of education with emphasis on the
historical development of education, its philosophy in a democracy,
and its organization and administration. An additional laboratory
period once a week gives students the following opportunities: experience in areas significant for the personal and professional development of prospective teachers, class visitations to the Benjamin Franklin Training School, acquiring specialized information about the
elementary, secondary, and business curriculums by means of lectures
and guidance by the directors of the respective curriculums.
At the conclusion of the course each student should be able to
assess his interest in teaching objectively, to evaluate himself honestly
in terms of meeting the requirements of the teaching profession, and
to choose his future course of study intelligently.

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

During the 1953 Summer Session, 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

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 who were 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.

OFFICE PRACTICE
AND BUSINESS EXPERIENCE
A
student completing this curriculum has had an opportunity to
spend one year in office practice courses. In these courses 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 skills and business knowledges; 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 use of the mimeoscope; the
preparation of copy and duplication on the ditto and multigraph machines; the operation of the Dictaphone and Sound Scriber dictation,
and transcription machines; the operation of the Burioughs posting machine, adding and listing machines, and calculators; and advanced work
in business papers.
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, Catawissa High School,
Danville High School, and two schools, located in Williamsport, now
serve as student teaching centers for Business students. The two schools
used in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, are: The Senior High School and
Thaddeus Stevens Junior High School.
In the five high schools cooperating with the College for student
teaching purposes, are over eighteen regular teachers whose purpose is
to help by training students.
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.
PLACEMENT OF BUSINESS GRADUATES
During the past 20 years over 600 business students have graduated
from Bloomsburg. Of this number 78 per cent are teaching and 16 per
cent are employed in business and other occupations for a total of 94
per cent.
Placement records for the year September. 1949 to September, 1950,
show 55 per cent teaching, 32 per cent in business, and 7 per cent in
graduate schools for a total of 94 per cent The armed services and marriage have claimed the remainder.

Then follows a study of the works of Bach, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven,
Chopin, Schumann, and other composers of the romantic and modern
periods.

Students must have a good piano technic. Considerable time is
spent in acquiring a facile pedal technic; then in making a study of the
organ compositions of the various periods in musical history. In addition, students are prepared for playing church services.

BLOOMSBURG'S PART IN THE CITIZENSHIP
EDUCATION PROJECT
The
Citizenship Education Project at Teachers College, Columbia
was planned in 1949 when President William F. Russell
proposed a far reaching program for democratic citizenship. In discussing this proposal with General Eisenhower, President of Columbia,
Dr. Russell received enthusiastic encouragement in his plans for the
preparation of better citizens. And after submitting the details to the
Carnegie Foundation, the proponents received from that organization
the sum of $450,000 in support of the Project for the first two year
period beginning with September, 1949.
University,
President Russell's idea was that citizenship was a matter of conduct as much as of knowledge, and that book learning must therefore
be joined to action if good citizenship is to result. Consequently, the
laboratory practices developed by the CEP are the result of this conviction,
and are intended

The purpose of

Conference
is
to plan a long
range program of
teacher education with reference to citizenship without in any way attempting to propose a pattern for uniform adoption. Eight professors
from as many teachers colleges have begun their work by studying the
course-planning procedures used by instructors at the August and September conferences. Using these course plans as a starting point, they
will move on to more specific approaches to the problem of teacher
training, for the present focusing their efforts on the teaching of social
studies in senior high schools.

Academy, Literary Institute, Literary Institute and State Normal
School, State Teachers College— such has been the development of the
present State Teachers College at Bloomsburg.
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 Joseph Bradley and D. A. Beckley.
In 1856, D. J. Waller, Sr. drew up a charter subscribed to bv worthy
citizens of Bloomsburg, which provided that the school be known as the
Bloom.iburg 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.
Henry Carver,
of Binghampton, N. Y., taught the school.
His unusual influence and personality had much to do with molding its
early policies. He insisted that a new building was essential for the
future development of the Eloomsburg Literary Institute.

Hartman; trustees, John G. Freeze. R. F. Clark and William Neal. Mr.
Carver assured the trustees that $15,000 would build a suitable building.
Tne energy and enthusiasm of the men were such that when people
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.

On April 4, 1867, that building, the present Carver Hall, was dedicated with gala observance by the townspeople. Members of the first
class at the new school— D. J. Waller, Jr., the late George E. Elwell,
the late Charles Unangst— by popular subscription raised $1,200 in
a .single week for the fine bell which formerly called the students to
classes. The first faculty comprised Professor Carver, teacher of

branches.
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 that
the Literary Institute's location would be ideal for a State Normal
School. Consequently at a meeting in 1868, at which he addressed the
citizens of Bloomsburg, it was decided to establish a Normal School
dormitory was completed at a cost of $36,000.
under the Act of 1857.
The school was recognized as a State Normal School on Februarv 19,
1869. In September of that year, 150 students were enrolled in the Normal Department and 80 in the Model School.
In the
A
The school was called the Bloomsburg Literary Institute and State
Normal School until it was purchased by the State on 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 as well as teacher training courses.
Principal Carver left in 1871. Charles G. Barkley, a former county
superintendent 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 principal from
March, 1872, to June, 1873. Dr. T. L. Griswold then 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 large 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 i890, 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 both built. Science Hail was opened in the Fall of 1906 just after his resignation.
Dr. D. J. Waller, Jr., served a second time as principal until 1920.
Dr. Waller gave the Bloomsburg State Normal School 27 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 im-

Dr. Haas resigned in August, 1939, to assume, for the second time,
the duties of State Superintendent of Public Instruction for the Com-

Before the passage of the first Selective Service Act in 1940, it
was apparent that the upsurge of industrial activity would decrease
enrollments in technical and professional institutions. Thus a transition made over a three-year period required only gradual adjustment
in plant, personnel, and student body.
War programs involving contracts with the Department of Commerce, Navy Department, National Office of Education, and the Bloomsburg Hospital, enabled the college to inaugurate educational services in
addition to teacher preparation, as follows:
Aviation began for college undergraduates in September, 1940;
and Navy Aviation Cadets in July, 1942; Naval Flight Instruction School in November, 1942; V-5 Program, Naval Aviation Cadets

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.
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 eighteen weeks' period should notify the Dean
of Instruction so that a duplicate will be mailed.

PLACEMENT SERVICE
A BMUUI
of a college's contribution to American education
might well be the success it has in placing its graduates in the
educational field. Bloomsburg is proud of its placement record. Continuous follow-up studies of graduates of the past nineteen years
indicate that practically ninety percent have taught school, and that
another seven percent have been gainfully employed outside of the
teaching profession.
The college maintains the Placement Service for a two-fold purpose: to serve the public schools of Pennsylvania by bringing to the
attention of school officials worthy candidates for teaching positions,
and to help our graduates secure their first placements. The Director
of Placement Service, with offices in the Benjamin Franklin School,
has the following responsibilities:
To serve as chief contact person with those employing teachers,
with candidates, and with professional groups.
To recommend certain candidates for each particular vacancy
reported to his office.
To counsel with seniors concerning placement; including preparation of complete credential folders, techniques of applying for a position, and routines to be followed in aiding the Placement Service to
perform
efficiently.
To maintain a follow-up study of graduates each year.
The preparation and distribution of a distinctive brochure of
seniors to
all
school officials in a five state area.
Alumni of the college are urged to regard the Placement Service
as a permanent point of contact. The office frequently has calls for
experienceo! teachers. Alumni interested in changing positions should
confer with the Director and then keep his records up to date, notifying the office of graduate work pursued, changes in his certification,
new
addresses, and other pertinent information.
The Placement Service consistently
tries
to
adhere to these
general policies of operation:
To offer to employing officials a service that is professional,
1.
prompt, courteous, and reliable. Such service iucludes: nominating
candidates for teaching positions or for substituting work, information
on salary trends, or any service desired by school administrators.
2.
To prepare for all candidates credential folders that give an
accurate and complete description in order to help employers evaluate
a candidate's qualifications.
To recommend a candidate for the type of position and for
3.
the community where it is judged he will have the best opportunity to
serve and succeed.
4.
To encourage close contact with alumni and thus be in a position to aid employers in finding experienced teachers as well as to
further the professional careers of graduates.
5.
To serve as an information center to those in college concerning placement trends, areas of demand, and salary schedules.
G.
To cooperate with other placement agencies, educational organizations and governmental services in furthering the college's
service to education.
All communications relating to placement should be addressed to

is always the possibility of offering any course in any curcircumstances permit. The offering is dependent upon two
things: first the demand for teachers-in-service for the course; and,
second, the availability of the faculty instructor. As a 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.

Instruction,
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 toward your certificate. (3) In case of doubt, state your case
to Dr. Henry Klonower, Director Teacher Education and Certification,
Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
EXTENSION AND CAMPUS CLASSES
The college will offer extension courses in any community within
the college service area provided there is a sufficient demand for such
courses. During the past several years extension work has been given
in Danville, Hazleton, Kingston, West Pittston, Shamokin, Sunbury,
Wilkes-Barre, and Mt. Carmel. Classes for Teachers-in-Service are
generally held on Saturdays each semester.

Student teaching in the secondary field is done in the junior-senior
high schools of Bloomsburg, Berwick, and Catawissa, the high school of
and in three junior high schools and the Senior high school of
Williamsport. The complete cooperation of the school authorities of the
towns of Bloomsburg, Berwick, Catawissa, Danville, and Williamsport
makes it possible to have a varietv of adequate facilities for the training of teachers for the graded and secondary schools.
The elementary school training facilities, and the junior and senior
h qh 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.

Elementary Education provides preparation in these special fields:
Early Childhood Education, including Kindergarten, Grades One, Two.
and Three; Intermediate Education, Grades Four, Five, and Sixi_and
Rural Education for consolidated schools.

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

and foreign languages. Training teachers in secondary education are

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: that of
teaching children efficiently, and of guiding young men and women in
learning to teach.

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 provided through a broad program
of college organizations and activities which are developed and controlled through the participation of the entire college in the CommunThis organization, through the College
ity Government Association.
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 Dormitory
Womens' Association and for men by the Dormitory Men's Association.
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 participation in
college community life are presented in the Handbook, The Pilot, issued at the beginning of the fall semester each year under the direction
of the College Council.

Assembly Programs.
Assembly programs are presented each week in Carver Hall auditorium. A joint student-faculty committee plans these to include a

Group Guidance.
In order that entering students may have an opportunity to
explore their interests, and try out their abilities and their aptitudes
in a college situation, a uniform curriculum is followed by all students
the freshman year. This includes a course, professional orientation,
to introduce students to the study of education with emphasis on the
historical development of education, its philosophy in a democracy,
and its organization and administration. An additional laboratory
period once a week gives students the following opportunities: experience in areas significant for the personal and professional development of prospective teachers, class visitations to the Benjamin Franklin Training School, acquiring specialized information about the
elementary, secondary, and business curriculums by means of lectures
and guidance by the directors of the respective curriculums.
At the conclusion of the course each student should be able to
assess his interest in teaching objectively, to evaluate himself honestly
in terms of meeting the requirements of the teaching profession, and
to choose his future course of study intelligently.

PRE-FLIGHT AERONAUTICS FOR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS
The College has instituted a four-year curriculum leading to certification of teachers in Aviation to instruct in the high schools 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.

During the 1953 Summer Session, 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 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 who were 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 certified by the National Government carried the

OFFICE PRACTICE
AND BUSINESS EXPERIENCE
A
student completing this curriculum has had an opportunity to
spend one year in office practice courses. In these courses 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 skills and business knowledges; 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 use of the mimeoscope; the
preparation of copy and duplication on the ditto and multigraph machines; the operation of the Dictaphone and Sound Scriber dictation,
and transcription machines; the operation of the Burioughs posting machine, adding and listing machines, and calculators; and advanced work
in business papers.
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, Catawissa High School,
Danville High School, and two schools, located in Williamsport, now
serve as student teaching centers for Business students. The two schools
used in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, are: The Senior High School and
Thaddeus Stevens Junior High School.
In the five high schools cooperating with the College for student
teaching purposes, are over eighteen regular teachers whose purpose is
to help by training students.
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.
PLACEMENT OF BUSINESS GRADUATES
During the past 20 years over 600 business students have graduated
from Bloomsburg. Of this number 78 per cent are teaching and 16 per
cent are employed in business and other occupations for a total of 94
per cent.

Then follows a study of the works of Bach, Mozart, 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 in making a study of the
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

Violin
Great stress is placed upon position, tone quality, the intricacies of
bowing, technic, 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, Vieuxtemps, and all the leading composers are
studied. Advanced students are assigned concerti and sonatas of the
standard violin literature.

RECITALS
Recital classes are held frequently to give the students an opportunity to play for each other.
Public recitals are held during the year to provide experience in
public performance. The auditorium in Carver Hall where such recitals
are held, is attractive and modern, especially suitable for musical pro-
grams.
ENSEMBLE PLAYING
The Department of Music offers special training in ensemble playing for pianists and violinists under the direction of a member of the
faculty.

BLOOMSBURG'S PART IN THE CITIZENSHIP
EDUCATION PROJECT
The
Citizenship Education Project at Teachers College, Columbia
was planned in 1949 when President William F. Russell
proposed a far reaching program for democratic citizenship. In discussing this proposal with General Eisenhower, President of Columbia,
Dr. Russell received enthusiastic encouragement in his plans for the
preparation of better citizens. And after submitting the details to the
Carnegie Foundation, the proponents received from that organization
the sum of $450,000 in support of the Project for the first two year
period beginning with September, 1949.
University,
President Russell's idea was that citizenship was a matter of conduct as much as of knowledge, and that book learning must therefore
be joined to action if good citizenship is to result. Consequently, the
laboratory practices developed by the CEP are the result of this conviction,
and are intended

The purpose of

Conference
is
to plan a long
range program of
teacher education with reference to citizenship without in any way attempting to propose a pattern for uniform adoption. Eight professors
from as many teachers colleges have begun their work by studying the
course-planning procedures used by instructors at the August and September conferences. Using these course plans as a starting point, they
will move on to more specific approaches to the problem of teacher
training, for the present focusing their efforts on the teaching of social
studies in senior high schools.
