College
at



Bloomsburg.

In 1839, a private academy was opened at Blomsburg. 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

In 1866, Henry Carver, of Binghamton, 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 Bloomsburg Literary Institute.

Under

his inspiration, the charter of 1856 was revived and the following
elected President, D. J. Waller, Sr.; secretary, I. W. Hartman;
trustees, John G. Freeze, R. F. Clark and William Neal. Mr. Carver assured
the trustees that $15,000 would build a suitable building. The 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.



officials

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., George E. Elwell, and Charles Unangst by
popular subscription raised $1,200 in a single week for the fine bell which
formerly called the students to their classes. The first faculty comprised

ment

Major campus improvements included 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 Heating Plant; Fire Towers for several buildings; a complete
remodeling of Science Hall and of the auditorium.
Educational development during the administration of Dr. Haas moved
along parallel with the improvement in the physical plant and has included
the following: the establishment of the Department of Business Education;
the inauguration of a Department of Special Education, with an Educational
Clinic for guidance and remedial instruction of problem cases; the organization and development of a student government association; the development
of such outstanding extra-curricular activities as the A Cappella Choir,
Maroon and Gold Orchestra, Maroon and Gold Band, Dramatic Club, and
the installation of professional and honorary educational organizations.
In June, 1939, the College very fittingly celebrated

hundred years of

its

Centennial

—one

progress.

Dr. Haas resigned in August, 1939, to assume, for the second time, the
duties of State Superintendent of Public Instruction for the Commonwealth
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,
Office of Education, and the Bloomsburg Hospital, enabled the college to inaugurate educational services in addition to
teacher preparation, as follows:

Navy Department, National

Aviation began for college undergraduates in September, 1940; Army and
Navy Aviation Cadets in July, 1942; Naval Flight Instruction School in
November, 1942; V-5 Program, Naval Aviation Cadets in July, 1943; Naval

Noetling Hall so as to provide Day Men's Lounge facilities, faculty offices,
and Audio-Visual Classroom, remodeling of Waller Hall Gymnasium to
provide lounge and recreational facilities for students, renovation of Science

Parallel with the plant improvements, the curriculum offerings were
extended to the field of Liberal Arts in a cooperative agreement existing
with Pennsylvania State College, and extension centers were established
for teachers-in-service in Wilkes-Barre, Kingston, Hazleton, Sunbury, Shamokin, and West Pittston.

\\ ALLER HALL.
The main dormitory, Waller Hall, named for D. J.
Waller, Jr., Principal of the College for 27 years, is four stories high with
a frontage of 165 feet and a wing 40 by 104 feet enclosing a patio and
fountain. This building is equipped with one passenger and two height
elevators. The ground floor of this building contains the lobby, the new
library, and the post office. Five modern enclosed fire towers minimize fire
hazards. The infirmary is located on the second floor. The women's dormitory occupies the second, third, and fourth floors; and the rooms contain beds,
dressers, chairs, and study tables.

The Alumni Room on the first floor of Waller Hall is furnished as a
reception room for Alumni and Faculty. College cups and other trophies
are displayed in this room. The lobby with its tapestries and comfortable
furniture is a favorite social meeting place.

A registered nurse is in charge of the infirmary where students may have
proper care and quiet when they are ill. Doctors are called when the nurse
deems it advisable. Fresh air, pure water, and well-balanced meals make the
sick at Teachers College a negligible number.
The library on the main floor of Waller Hall contains over 37,000
standard works of history, fiction, education, and other subjects. It is n
factorily equipped with reference works, magazines, and newspapers.

Science Hall, built in 1906, is equipped for laborabiology, chemistry, and physics. It contains a number of
classrooms and two lecture rooms with projectors, screens, and other visual
education apparatus. There are two large, well-lighted art studios in this
building. Modern laboratory desks and other equipment for the teaching of
chemistry and physics were installed at the beginning of the school year of
1937 to provide for the increasing demand for Science on the part of students
who are entering the teaching profession. This building has been recently
renovated and rewired. Modern fire towers have been added at a cost of
$50,000.

Hazlcton, Kingston. West Pittston, Shamokin, Sunbury. Wilkes Bane, and

COLLEGE LABORATORY SCHOOL FACILITIES
Those who are to become teachers should have ample preparation in
teaching in typical school situations. Considerable attention has been given
to enlarging and strengthening the laboratory school facilities of the State
Teachers College at Bloomsburg. The Benjamin Franklin School on the
campus houses a kindergarten, ipecial class for the mentally retarded, and
grades one to six inclusive. A training teachei is in charge of each class;
consequently, close supervision is given to student teaching.
Student teaching in the secondary field is done in the junior-senioi high
schools of Bloomsburg, Berwick, Scott Township, and Catawissa, the high
school of Danville, and in three junioi high schools and the senioi high
school of Williamsport.
rhe complete cooperation of the school authorities
of the communities of Bloomsburg, Berwick, Scott rownship, Catawissa, Dan\ ill<.-.
and Williamspori makes u possible to have a variet) of adequate
facilities foi the training of teachers foi the graded and secondary schools.

State Teachers College, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania

37

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 oportunity 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 Pour, Five, and Six.

The Special Class in the Benjamin Franklin School offers facilities for
observation and student teaching of the Mentally Retarded. The student
observes and works with children who range in age from six to sixteen years,
and whose physical and mental abilities may vary to an even greater extent.
slow learning child acquires knowledge and information through
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 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
own

student teaching program in the secondary field includes opporto 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, 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.

STUDENT TEACHING FOR BUSINESS STUDENTS
Senior students are provided with an opportunity to observe and teach
room situations through the cooperation of the business departments of five high schools. The Business Departments of the Bloomsburg
High School, the Berwick High School, Danville High School, Williamsport
Senior High School, and Thaddeus Stevens Junior High School of Williamsport serve as student teaching centers for Business students.

The teaching experience for a period of one semester is obtained under

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-tun icular basis and was to form
a reservoir of pilots in case an emergency developed in the United States.
This emergency not only developed but also became a crisis on December
7, 1941; and fortunately ready to meet this situation was a group of trained
pilots, including 100 trained at Bloomsbuii;. Since that time over 900 men
have been trained at Bloomsburg for the Army and Navv as Service Pilots.
Aviation Cadets, and Naval Flight Instructors.
The Department of Public Instruction announced in April. 1943. thai
the Stale 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.
msburg State Teachers College has on its campus personnel holding
the propel qualifications for giving courses to members of the Air Force
Reserve. This personnel holds Commercial Pilots' Licenses and Flight Initructors' rating as aiell as membership in the American Meteorological

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 secondary business 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
business subjects in any junior or senior high school of Pennsylvania.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
The curriculum has proved so popular since it was introduced in 1930,
that only a limited number of carefullv selected students are admitted.
All persons who expect to enroll as Freshmen should make their reservations
early in the year. Only those high school students whose records indicate the
ability to satisfactorily complete the curriculum are accepted. This does
not mean that new students must have had business courses in high school
or business college. Many students who have not had previous business
training complete successfully the Business Curriculum.
Prospective students are urged to come to the College and discuss their
proposed program of study with the members of the faculty of the Department.

As this curriculum is of collegiate grade, advanced standing is not
granted for work completed in secondary schools, business colleges, or unaccredited business schools.

ADVANCED STANDING
Entrants who have earned previous college credits should submit a
transcript of such work before they enroll. If advanced standing for work
completed in other institutions is expected, credit transcripts should accompany the application for enrollment. Advanced standing will be granted
for work completed in other institutions of college grade when, in the
judgment of the Dean of Instruction, such courses appear to be equivalent
to subjects prescribed in the Business Curriculum.
a tentative evaluation of completed college work is desired, a transhowing the name of the course, the grade, and the credit hours should
be forwarded to the Director of the Department of Business Education.
This tentative evaluation may precede the enrollment of the student.

responsible for the same vocational efficiency as the regularly employed office
worker. This experience is supplemented by class instruction covering the
following office skills and business knowledges: alphabetical, geographical,
and numerical filing; dictation and transcription at high rates of speed;
stencil preparation, including the use of the Mimeoscope, and the operation
of the Mimeograph; preparation of master sheets and operation of liquid
process and offset duplicating machines; operation of dictating and transcribing machines; operation of adding, posting, and calculating machines;
and advanced work in business papers.

That when folks begin to give praise,
You feel that you hardly can bear it,

And

words give you cause for amaze.
humble, you work all the harder,
Just to prove to your Aery own self
That you ARE the fellow they think you
That wonderful fellow Yourself!

"Popularity depends upon your ability to get along with
people, all kinds of people; and the better you learn to
adjust to each situation, the more easily you will make
friends. You will find that you can make those adjustments
more successfully if you have yourself well in hand; and the
only way to get yourself in hand is to know yourself, to
turn yourself inside out as you would an old pocketbook
shake out the dust and tie up the contents."
