"That the present service areas for curricula
offered by ail the colleges remain as defined

conference and correspondence the several
presidents may determine upon mutually agreeable
boundary lines for the special service area fields.
Where such agreement is not reached by the time of

area limitations as set forth in the report of the

Report of the Fees Committee

Special Curriculum Fees

Doctor Ade
following report:

,

Chairman of the Committee, submitted the

"REPORT OF THE FEES COmilTTEE RELATIVE TO A LIBRARY SCIENCE FEE
The Committee xpet Thursday afternoon, Ju^y 18, and gave
serious consideration to the proposal of Doctor Rohrbach that a fee
in the library science curriculum be charged and made effective at
some future date.

-1455-

As a matter of general principle, the Committee believes
that any future fees should be based upon the needs and costs for
the maintenance of the activity for vhich the fee is charged.
Contingent fees covering registration, keeping of records, library,
student welfare, health service, and laboratory facilities have
been, in the past, the basis upon which the amounts of fees were
established,
Tlie Committee is of the opinion that the Presidents of
the institutions affected should confer and agree on suggested
fees and indicate the basis on which such fee is determined. This
will be helpful to the Committee in formulating a final recommendation to the Board,

Therefore, the Committee recommends that the Presidents
of the three institutions concerned submit to the Fees Committee,
at their early convenience, their suggested recommendation with

reference to the library science curriculum fee.

Respectfully submitted,
John G, Flowers
Harvey A. Andruss
Lester K. Ade, Chairman"
On motion of Doctor Ade, seconded by Mr. Andruss, it was
voted that the report of the Committee be adopted,

Conmission, accompanied by Mr. Leo Luttringer of the Game
Commission, Mr. Myron Shoemaker, of the Fish Commission, and Mr,
Robert Steventon, of the Pennsylvania Sportsman's Club, appeared
before the Board,
Mr. Gordon spoke briefly on the subject of Conservation
and the importance of finding a place for it in education. He
discussed the possibility of establishing a course in Conservation
Education in the State Teachers Colleges. He stated that at no
time in the history of the country has the need been greater to
teach the wise use of our natural resources.
The Chairman of the Board thanked Mr. Gordon and his
associates for the interesting material presented to the Board,
He suggested that this matter be referred to the Curricular and
Credentials Committee for study and report at a subsequent meeting.

Regulations Governing Admission to State
Teachers Colleges with Advanced Standing

Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular and Credentials
Committee, submitted the following report:
"REPORT OF THE CURRICULAR AND CREDENTIALS COWMITTEE

July 19, 1940
Re: Amendment of Regulation governing admission with advanced

standing.

The Board of Presidents in its meeting of May 18, 1939,
adopted a policy regarding admission of students v/ith advanced
standing. That policy as adopted appears in the Proceedings of
the Meetings of the Board of Presidents on Page 1352 as follows:
1,

Transfers from other institutions will not be
accepted without certificates of honorable
dismissal,

2.

Credit will be given for acceptable courses
pursued in accredited collegiate institutions
in which the student has made a grade above
the lowest passing grade in the institution
in which the work was done.

3,

All students who are candidates for a degree
shall be required to arrange a program of
studies approved by the Dean of Instruction.
Any student desiring to pursue any part of
this program at a different institution will
be required to secure, in advance, the
approval of such courses from the Dean of
Instruction,

-1457

The Coimnittee' s attention has been called to the
need of making the policy more definite in cases where
institutions use the percentage system of grading.
It is therefore recommended that the policy be
amended to read as follows:
1,

Transfers from other institutions v;ill not
be accepted without certificates of honorable
disinissal.

2,

Credit vri.ll be given for acceptable courses
pursued in accredited collegiate institutions
in which the student has r&ade a grade above the
lowest passing grade in the institution in
which the work was done. Where the grades are
marked on a percentage basis, work graded five
percent above the minimum passing grade will be
accepted.

3,

All students who are candidates for a degree
shall be required to arrange a program of
studies approved by the Dean of Instruction,
Any student desiring to pursue any part of this
program at a different institution v;ill be
required to secure, in advance, the approval of
such courses from the Dean of Instruction,

Respectfully submitted,

Q. A. W. Rohrbach

On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Rohrbach,
it was voted that the Board adopt the amended policy with reference

to admission with advanced standing.

Proposal for the Establishment of an Additional
Level of the Salary Schedule

Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular and Credentials
Committee, submitted the following report:

-1458-

"REPORT OF THE CURRICULAR AM) CREDENTIALS COMVUTTEE
July 19, 1940
Re: Proposal for the establishment of an additional

level of the Salary Schedule

The Coinmittee has carefully considered the constantly
increasing loads imposed on the instructional staff by the growing
trend toward explicit or implied prescription of additional extra
class activities.
It has noted the effect of the requirement of masters*
and doctors' degrees in the strain on available financial support
if provisions of the present salary schedule are to be carried out.
Furthermore, the Committee is disturbed by the relative impossibilit
of bringing into the faculties of the Teachers Colleges young men

and women of outstanding scholarship and exceptional teaching
Jjromise due to the requirement of a minimum of three years teaching
experience, one half of which must have been in public schools. This

the Committee believes excludes from consideration many whose background of culture and whose superior scholarly attainment make them
most desirable as staff members. The Committee believes that a
limited number of college graduates selected from such prospects
though without teaching experience could be given a much superior
experience and a more adequate professional training than is
possible by three years teaching in public schools even if such
prospective college instructors should enter public school teachingwhich is seldom the case.

THE TEACHER '8 RESPONSIBILITY FOR
(lYcoentsd fo

AiVlERICAi^

DEMOCRACY

Board of Presidents - July 19, 1%0)
(By Albert Lindsay Rovdand)
tlie

A fortnight ago this country celebrated the l64.th anniversary of the
signing of the Declaration of Independence. In that amazing document, all
too unfamiliar to the riverage American citizen, are these words: "We hold
those truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they
are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rigiits, that among
these are Life, Liberty and tht. pursuit of Happiness - Th.:;t to secure these
rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving th^jir just powers
from the consent of the governed." In these words, Thomas Jefferson, i/ith
an accuracy, economy and beauty of vorbagf seldom surpassed, expressed the
fiuidamental philosophy of /vmerican Dciraocracy.
To this philosophy this
coiantry has, often stupidly, sometimes griidgingly and :.l\;ays imperfectly,
but, on the whole, ffithfiilly, devoted itself in the century and a half of
its existence. So engaging, so encouraging and so convincing has been the
picture painted by these words on the :iiinds of men that again and again have
they endeavored to model their governments on these principles.
At the close of the First V/orld \/ar thinking and right hearted men
shocked both by its actuality and by the possibilities of its recurrence, that an honest attempt vjas made to set up the democratic form of
government in country after country that never before had experienced such
Th^ discrepancy between the theory
a form of social and political order.
and the practice of democracy, between their golden hopes and their leaden
experience, v;as naturally disheartening. Despair replaced courage and in
this new desperation they turned to a new leadership that promised them,
not liberty, but security and above all glory.
v;ere so

Thus v/as the tv/entieth century brand of totalitarianism born. However base may have beun the motives and the machinations of these new leaders
their promises and their principles, in order to win the support of the
people, had to soar to the stars. It is a glorious thing that people may
only be led by what they believe is fine. It is a pitiful thing that they
are so often deluded.

At first we wore contemptuous of this what we rightly believed was a
regressive movement in the march towara full social justice. We alternately laughed and were anrioyed at the antics of lUussolini and Hitler and their
imitators. Even France and England > their potential enemies, smugly discounted their bombast, refused to take seriously their military and economic
preparations, and continued to employ themselves with the usual violence of
political debate over what v;e now' realize wore matters of minor concern.
The efficiency of the Blitzkrieg in the appalling conquest of one great
independent state after another provides us v/ith adequate evidence that wishful thinking alone will not protect a people from the loss of their democratic
forms of government. In the United States it is not sufficient to call ourselves the land of the free and the home of the brave. Our defense must be
four fold - military, oconomic, intellectual and finally spiritual. The
first tv/o are immediate to the repelling of our enemies. The last tv/o are
basic and essential to the implementing of any defense \:ith consistency of

(

-2-

purpose and a total devotion born of faith in om^ fundamental principles.
We must create a military defense consisting of ordnance, machines, ships,
planes, men under arms and in reserve, so powerful as to be unequalled by
any combination of force able to be assembled against it. To the vast
majority of o\ir people this now seems obvious and the government is taking
the necessary stops to create quickly such a defense organization.
Behind this bulwark whose frovming front must give any enemy pause
there must be a complete economic coordination of materials and services
ready to be thrown into gear v/hen the alarm sounds. Never again should it
be possible for the merchant to profit at the expense of the soldier.
IVith these lamediate devices of defense we are all concerned.
VJithout them we may fall victims of the ruthless, efficient and purposeful
advance of the totalitarian ideology. But even with the most magnificent
defense organization we shall fail if our people lose faith in American
Democracy, fail to understand American Democracy, and refuse to practice
American Democracy.

Our forefathers had this faith and this understanding and they put
American Democracy into practice. In the early days of our history the
American way of life was tested again and again and not^ found v/anting.
Protected by two groat oceans, a vast continent and weak or friendly
neighbors to the south and north, v/e have prospered beyond our fondest
dreams. For a time America was the haven of the oppressed and there came
here the stout hearted peoples of many lands and tongues who v/ere fused
into one substance in the great melting pot. Oul* frontier moved westv/ard
until it merged with a similar movement from the west and there was no
longer a frontier. Wealth increased. The population groxi. The industrial age brought new problems; labor j capital; unemployment; yet our
democratic institutions held. They developed an unforeseen elasticity.
The Constitution v/as amended. Successive Supreme Courts interpreted and
re -interpreted its provisions. But its basic principles remained unchanged
and virtually unchallenged.
The instrument chiefly responsible for this remarkable consistency
the public school. Free public education, a compound of piety, individualism and equality, it was early Irecognized as the principal biAwark
against tyranriy and the first line of defense for democratic freedom. V/ith
such support the public school has flourished like the bay ti^ee, achieving
a dovelopinent in lands, buildings, equipment, teaching personnel and variety
of curricula, both vertical and horizohtal, that is absolutely unparalleled
at any time or place in the history of the world. Has this vast social
institution justified itself? On the U'hole I believe it has but in the light
of the success of the totalitarian ideology we should examine the sitilation
v/ith care.
?/as

Thomas Briggs says in a thought provoking article in "School and
"The plain fact of the matter is that v/e
Society" for January 27, 19A0:
today do not take democracy seriously. The public at large does not know
what its essential meaning is. They have shouted the slogan v/ithout an
understanding of the principles of the ideal and the implications, in responsibilities as well as in its rights, to which it leads. Democracy has

c

been shouted as a justification of tho most hon-sensical, uncound and outrageous proposals; it has been approved and proclaimed - and its applications
neglected; it has been mouthed so much by demagogues and by ignoramuses that
at tilnes we have become sick of the \/ord. But hovortheluss it is the foundation of all that we hold highest and most sacred. It stands for an ideal
that is the hope of tho world. It is a beacon that lights the road to
political, social, economic and industrial progress."
To what extent are the schools responsible for the situfition described
by Dr. Driggs? Unchallenged, safe and even envied v/e have unwittingly
alloT;ed our vigilance to relax.
We have regarded tolerantly subversive movements vdthin our social structure. Recognizing tho hygienic value of sound
criticism v/e have failed to differentiate between honest difference of opinion
and the subtle propoganda of an alien philosophy. Ordinarily the good sense
of the \7hole people, free to form opinions without fear, is adequate to keep

the ship of state on an even keel. Now, hov;ever, in a time of storm, the
people are bewildered and frightened. Are they equipped -./ith a full appreciation of the significance of American Democracy? Quoting Briggs again:
"Democracy cannot wage a v/inning fight unless its people not only understand
what it means but also have for it a passionate devotion. If democracy is
to pre"9ail, it must grip its people, tho mature and especially the young,
with the power of a religion." As Thomas PAann has written, "democracy should
use this wholly unexpected situation - the fact, namely, that it has again
become problematical - to renew and rejuvenate itself by again becoming
aware of itself,"
The members of this Board are in a peculiarly responsible and strategic
position as the heads of institutions charged with the duty of educating
teachers for the public schools of this great Commonwealth. Are we discharging this responsibility vdth the intelligence, the vision, the courage and
the immediateness that the occasion demands?
It is to this question that I
urge the earnest consideration of this Board,

We must teach democracy in our schools by sending out teachers who
understand democracy; who practice democracy; and who above all else have
faith in democracy.
The best understanding of democracy is to be found in the history of
the United States of America, interpreted not with cynicism and defeatism
but with vision and optimism. Too often our social st\idies teachers emphasize our weaknesses, our inconsistencies, our failures and belittle our
achievements. Too seldom do they return to the Declaration of Independence,
the Constitution, the constructive Court decisions, the inspired utterances
of our great national leaders. More frequently do they emphasize the hasty
conclusions of present day v/riters who have not yet proved their claim to
wisdom.

But it is one thing to talk democracy and another to practice it.
Teachers who terrorize their pupils; principals who tyrannize over their
teachers; superintendents vho take advantage of their high position to
silence all opinion but their own, are poor examples of democracy in action,
if democracy is, as Thomas Mann says, that form of government or of society

which placet;

tlu, dignity of the individur.l ::bove overy other consideration.
To rotipcct the dignity of the individual dots not necofs^arily mean to
respect everything thr-.t he fiayn and does, but it does mean despite his
stupidities, hit' follies, his insufficiencies, to roco.'^ise his essential
dicnity and his possibilities of grov/t>i to a v/orthy stature.

Finally our teichcrs must have faith in democracy; a pai;sionat£ burning devotion v;hich ^.ill make any sacrifice a privilege if it will advance
the cause of democracy.
Teachers of such a faith and uith euch devotion
cannot fail to inspire their pupils v.ith a courage of conviction that will
implement any program of defense \;ith invincibility.

Report of Fees Committee

Fees for Students Entering Military Service

Doctor Ade, Chairman of the Comndttee, stated that it was
the belief of the Committee that no action need be taken on this
matter at this time. He stated that the question of how much credit
would be allowed such students as were inducted into the militJiiy
servi.ce should be determined before the matter of fees was fixed.
Questions were raised relative to the place of student
registration on October 16 and whether such registration would be
credited in the locality in which tho institution is domiciled or
credited in the student's legal residence.
The Chairman of the Board stated that he would take up the
two matters with Doctor William L/Iather Lewis, Director, Selective
Service Headquarters for Pennsylvania, and advise the members of the
Board.
The Chairman of the Board suggested that it might be good
public policy for the Presidents to devote a period of Chapel before
October 16 and have some member of the Social Studies Department
outline the purpose of the Selective Service Act and briefly what it
requires

MEETING OF THE DEANS OF INSTRUCTION

Dr. Harr^ L. Kriner, Assistant Director, Teacher Education
and Certification
Dr. Henry Klonower, Director, Teacher Education and

Certification

Dr. Henry Klonower, Director of Teacher Education and
Certification, opened the meeting with a few introductory remarks. He
discussed the plan that contemplated the extension of the employment
period for deans to a fifty-two weeks basis with adjustment of salary
for the longer period of time.
Dr. Harry L, Kriner, Assistant Director of Teacher Education
and Certification, then took charge as Shairman of the meeting. He
expressed his appreciation of the cooperation on the part of the Deans
during the past year, both in guiding the students at the College and in
the transactions with the Teacher Education and Certification Office.

The questions on the Docket were then discussed as follows:
A.

CERTIFICATION
1.

What is the difference between graduation requirements and
certification requirements?

Bulletin 154 deals with certification standards. Bulletin 153

(

1

s

.

and the minutes of the meetings of the Board of Presidents give graduation
standards. It was suggested that it would be helpful for each Dean to
review the Board of Presidents minutes to secure changes in graduation
standards. Graduation standards are of prime importance, then certification
standards usually vdll be met. However, guidance in electives for
certification purposes is important. The group agreed with Dean Andruss
that in general, graduation requirements were in excess of certification
requirements
In a discussion relative to the amount of work which a student
should complete at a Teachers College when credentials were presented from
other institutions to be used for certification purposes, the members agreed
that one semester' s work should be the minimum, and that the competency
should be tested before the work should be certified to by the institution.
Seven of the Deans designated that they were requiring at least one semester'
work before they would sign any statement certifying to the work completed
at an institution not approved for certification purposes.
2.

May a student graduate in the elementary curriculiim and secure
certification for both the elementary and secondary fields?
Also graduates of the secondary curriculum?

A student graduating in the secondary curriculum may secure
certification in the elementary field by completing thirty semester hours of
elementary education in addition to meeting the standards for graduation
from the secondary curriculum. One graduating in the elementary curriculum
may secure secondary certification by completing six semester hours of
professional work in secondary education and six semester hours in secondary
student teaching. It was suggested that the Deans encourage more students to
complete the elementary curriculum.

In order to get elementary and secondary certification, a student
should have the equivalent of five years of work if they are not teachers in
service. Even though electives may permit, it was pointed out that students
should be advised to spend the full four years on the preparation for one
field only. It was the concensus of opinion that students in the secondarycurriculum vrfio take Teaching of Arithmetic, Reading, etc. as electives are
Deans should guide the
not really completing the secondary curriculuraj:
students in the selection of their electives in keeping with the curriculum
which they are completing.
3.

How may holders of a college certificate valid in a special
field extend the certificate to the elementary field? To
the secondary field?

It was shown that in the special fields, there are not as many
chances for electives as in either the elementary or secondary fields. Three
credits in any special curriculum may be accepted toward extending a college
certificate valid in the special field toward the inclusion of the elementary
field.

In extending a certificate valid in a special field to include
a secondary field, the student teaching may be in either the special field or

- 2 -

I

0

in an academic field according to the judgment of the Dean, but in all
instances with students of the secondary school.

Mimeographed regulations in regard to all types of certification
standards were distributed and the members studied these in connection with
the question under consideration.
4.

What is the difference between a college certificate valid "to
teach" a special field such as art and one "to teach and
supervise" a spcial field? How must the certificate read to
permit the holder to teach any special subject in thu elementary
field?

Samples of various teaching certificates were distributed and the
designations explained by Doctor Kriner, In order to teach a special subject
such as art in the elementary field, the person should either hold an
elementary certificate or a secondary certificate with "to teach and supervise
in any public school" on its face.
If the certificate is valid for the
secondary field and a special subject such as art is included, the teaching
of art may not be done in the elementary school.
5.

How may the Dean of Instruction evaluate work from another
institution toward meeting the thirty semester hour standard
for extending a college certificate to include the elementary
field? A special field?

The Dean of Instruction is unable to evaluate work from another
institution unless the student actually enrolls in the institution in which
the evaluation is to be made. The evaluation may not be made in an
institution not approved for the work to be evaluated. Discussion on ways
and means of determining the value of the transferred work was general.

B.

CURRICULUI^
1.

What should be the guiding principles in making a substitution
for a required course? What is the difference between the
substitution of a course and using a course in lieu of a course?

In making a substitution for a required course, it w^as pointed out
that the course should have similar content; that is, a course substituted
for Advanced Composition should be in English with similar emphasis usually
given to Advanced Composition regardless of the title. A course in Physical
Science should not be substituted for an English course.
If a teacher in service needs a certain course to graduate in the
present curriculum and has had evaluations made under former curriculums, it
is advisable to use a course in lieu of another course, but not substituted
for the course needed by the student. For example, the former curriculums
required Advanced Composition but did not require twelve semester hours of
science. To avert a hardship of continually increasing the amount of work

- 3 -

.

.

to be completed by the student and to avert the absurdity of saying the
content of science and English are similar, it is wise to say that change
in curriculums makes it necessary to use English in lieu of the newly
required science courses. There should be no need for "substitution" or
to use a course "in lieu of" for the regularly enrolled students.
Transfer
students may need the substitutions and teachers in service with former
evaluations may need both.
2.

Should there be secondary school prerequisites for
specialization in subject fields, or fields of concentration?

Eight of the Deans indicated that they have set up prerequisites,
but they are not printed as under the old curriculums, and each case is
determined on its merits and degree of competency. The new curriculums do
not mention prerequisites. Acting Dean Offner suggested that there should
be a competency test for music for elementary teachers. It was agreed that
there are fields where some background certainly should be required. The
feeling among the Deans was not unanimous regarding prerequisites.
3.

Should we set up standards and regulations for accepting
credit for courses from other institutions?

Doctor Kriner read pages 13^0 and 1351 of the Minutes of the
Meetings of the Board of Presidents vdth regard to this question.

agreed that "Honorable Dismissal" should be on each
transcript before it may be evaluated in the State Teachers Colleges in
Pennsylvania. Schools should accept only courses in which grades are one
step above the passing mark of the institution where completed.

ELECTIVES
1.

What is a free elective?

Dean Jaarsma stated that his impression of a free elective is a
course which is taken but not definitely placed in the curriculum as a core
course
It v/as suggested that the responsibility in regard to the choice
of electives should be placed on the guidance official. The new curriculums
use the tera "electives" instead of "free electives". Dean McClelland said
his idea was that there were no strings to a free elective and students could
select any courses they wished as free electives. It was the general
consensus of opinion that the word "free" should be dropped in all the

curriculum materials

- ^ -

2.

W^at shall be included in the electives for students taking
the elementary curriculum?

Doctor Kriner referred the group to the electives for students
taking the elementary curriculum as described on page thirteen of
Bulletin 153; to the Minutes of the Board of Presidents Meeting for
January 15, 1937, page 1129 and for July 8, 1938, page 1264; also to the
report of the Curriculum Committee of the Board of Presidents, July 19, 19A0.
3.

May a student in completing the elementary curriculum use
speech, library, or special education for the seventeen
semester hours of electives? Of what value to the holder of
the certificate if the electives have been used in the field
of speech or library?

It was noted that these are included in the suggested electives
in Bulletin 153 for the elementary field. Reference vvas also made to
page 1099 in the Journal of the Meetings of the Board of Presidents.
However, electives shall be selected in accordance v/ith the field of
service for i^vhich the prospective teacher is preparing. There appears to
be a contradiction between the action taken relative to speech, special
education, and library for electives in the elementary field and the
requirement of specialization in either kindergarten-primary, intermediate,
or rural.
4.

Should electives in the secondary field be used for extensive
or intensive study? Toward many fields on a superficial basis
or toward excellent preparation in tv^o fields?

Electives in the secondary field should be used for intensive
study toward excellent preparation in tv;o fields. The group felt that the
purpose of the v/hole program of specialization and proper teacher preparation
was hindered and defeated by attempting to use electives in a curriculum
for meeting certification standards as being met by another teacher education
curric\ilum.
When leaders in education are stressing the importance of a
five year teacher education program for secondary school teachers, it appears
unwise to use professional courses in elementary education as part of the
secondary program of preparation.
5.

?\'here

shall the free electives in Civil Aeronautics be used?

The free electives in Civil Aeronautics may be used just where the
Deans feel it fits best. It could not be used as one of the core subjects
nor as one of the subjects prescribed for the elective fields.

2.

How are the selective admission tests to be given and used?

The plan for using tests as given in July and September to all
freshman students to help in classification and to help in eliminating those
students who should not be there was explained. The difference between
admission tests and classification tests was emphasized. The importance of
getting the results of the tests in the hand of the testing committee was
stressed,
3.

How may students of low academic standing be eliminated?

Doctor Kriner read page 1276 of the minutes of the meetings of the
Board of Presidents regarding the selection and elimination of students in
the State Teachers Colleges, General discussion followed.
What can be done to improve our Biglish instruction?

This topic comes up every year.

Recommendations have been made.

It was suggested that students who are preparing to be certificated in
English should be given a good substantial background and that the Dean should

give the guidance necessary for sufficient work.
5.

Which science courses should be recommended for a student
who after taking the required twelve semester hours of
biological and physical science decides to use science as
an elective?

Dean V/right suggested that the biological science and physical
science survey courses should not be used toward the twenty-four semester
hours required for graduation in science. At least the general science
courses, if taught in a general way, could not be considered as meeting the
Botany, Zoology, Physics, and Chemistry requirement set up for certification
purposes.

It was suggested that in view of the fact that there is now two
years of science required, twelve semester hours in integrated courses in
biological science and physical science should be offered. There is need
for the general integrated courses for elementary teachers and possibly
it is very valuable to secondary teachers.

This appears to be a matter for local jurisdiction although it
is essential for certification requirements to be met v/here a student wishes
to teach science.
6.

Should student teaching be required in both fields of
concentration for the students of the secondary curriculum?
Thirteen of the Deans reported that their College requires students

'of the secondary curriculum to complete student teaching in both fields of

concentration. The sentiment appeared to favor student teaching in the
special field when adding it to a secondary certificate.
7.

What is being done with the "curriculums materials" course?

Because this ms discussed fully last year and because of the late
hour, the group did not wish to open the topic.
8.

Is the requirement of twelve semester hours of science too much?

Former discussion covered this topic.
9.

Should all prospective teachers be required to take courses
in government, economics, and sociology?

Doctor Kriner read page 1290 of the Minutes of the Meetings of the
Board of Presidents in regard to this question. It was noted that courses in
government, economics, and sociology v;ere formerly compulsory for graduation
for those v;ho ?dshed to use social studies as an elective field. While the
change in "required electives" to "recommended electives" changed the status
for graduation, the three courses are still required for certification in the
field. It v/as pointed out that the three subjects should be emphasized for
all types of teachers, especially with our present world conditions.
Dean Andruss stated that he was in favor of cteleting History of
Civilization from the requirements for graduation or else increase it to six
semester hours. The group as a whole felt the importance of a better social
background for all teachers,
10.

Should Industrial Arts students be permitted to concentrate
in other fields in addition to science or mathematics,
especially if such appears wise to the Dean of Instruction?
It was felt that the two colleges concerned should decide this

issue.

E.

SCHEDULES

Because of the late hour, Doctor Kriner asked the members of the
group which questions they should like to discuss under this heading. The
group wished to discuss:
6.

What constitutes a normal semester hour load for a student
during the regular college semester? In Saturday and evening
classes? In summer sessions? May this vary?

Sixteen semester hours per semester is the average load set up by
the Curriculum Committee. Teachers in service may take normally six semester
hours per semester either by extension or in Saturday and evening classes.
Of course, teachers not in service might take more.
The normal load for
summer sessions is a credit per week of attendance. Seven semester hours may
be carried during the six weeks period by special permission and pre-approval
If the work is for graduation purposes, the approval is obtained from the
President of the College, and if for certification purposes, from the
Department of public Instruction.
At this time, Doctor Haas came into the meeting and entered the
discussion. He stated that it was his lander standing that the president of
an institution is authorized to permit any undergraduate to take seven
semester hours of work during a six weeks summer session without reference to
the Department of Public Instruction. However, if it is a teacher in service
TA^o is applying for a certificate, then that student must secure permission
from the Department to take seven semester hours. The State Teachers College
is primarily the judge of the credentials of its own students.
The State
Council of Education is primarily the judge of the credentials for teaching.
Students who are applying for a State certificate come under the direct
responsibility of the State regulations. Students working for their diplomas
come under the regulations set up by the Board of Presidents of the State
Teachers Colleges.

Dean Jaarsma raised the question of a student taking four semester
hours of work at one college and three at another during the summer session.
They expect to get credit for the three taken outside the college for a total
of seven without special permission.
Doctor Haas replied that if this person
wants the degree at a certain college, he must abide by the rules of that
college and the dean is the judge as to the amount of credit allowed for six
weeks summer session attendance.

Doctor Kriner then thanked the Deans for their cooperation and
helpfulness
The meeting adjourned at

Doctor Steele submitted the following report:
"REPORT OF THE CURRICULAR AND CRSDEIvTlALS COIH^IITTEE

November 15, 19^0
RE:

Legal R equirements Affecting the Curriculums of State Teachers
Colleges

Your Committee has made a careful study of the statutory reqiairements
and the regulations imposed by the State Council of Education v\fhich affect
directly or by implication courses offered in the State Teachers Colleges,
and its findings are presented under tvjo headings.

Statutory Requirements
I.

Section 3903, School Laws of Pennsylvania.
"That in all public and
private schools located within the Commonwealth, commencing mth
the school year next ensuing after the passage of this act, there
shall be given regular courses of instruction in the Constitution
of the United States.

Such instruction in the Constitution of the United States shall
begin not later than the opening of the eighth grade, and shall
continue in the high school course, and in courses in the State colleges and State universities, and the educational departments of State
and municipal institutions, to an extent to be determined by the
Superintendent of Public Instruction."

3.
4.

Art
Home Economics
Music
Cooperative Education

C.

The Committee recommends that effective with the beginning
all
of the second semester of the current year 1940-19
carriculunis shall require a three semester liour course in
American Goverament . The Committee has already requested
the colleges concerned to submit to the Committee the
changes recommended to effect the inclusion of this course.
The Committee further suggests that Deans of Instruction
in colleges offering Art, Home Economics, Music, and/or
Cooperative Education be authorized, subject to the approval
of their respective Presidents, to permit for the second
semester the substitution of American Government for any
course now included in the curriculum, but not nov/ required
for certification, so that so far as possible, all persons
graduating in 19A-1 shall have had a course in Am.erican
Government. The Committee further recommends that the
course description for American Government shall clearly
show that the Constitution of the United States is included
as a subject of study in this course and suggests the
following statement:

American Government

(3)

Three semester hours credit

basic principles of American Government; the
Constitution of the United States, the machinery
through which it is implemented; and the consideration
of some major governmental issues.
Tlie

II.

Section I607, School Laws of Pennsylvania.
"In every elementary
public and private school, established and maintained in this
Commonwealth, the following subjects shall be taught, in the;
English language and from English texts; English, including
spelling, reading, and writing, arithmetic, geography, the
history of the United States and of Pennsylvania, civics,
including loyalty to the State and National Government, safety
education, and the humane trc;atment of birds and animals, health,
including physical training and physiology, music, and art.
Other subjects shall be taught in the public elementary schools
and also in the public high schools as may be designated or
approved by the State Board of Education. All such subjects,
except foreign languages, shall be taught in the English language
and from English texts. Each school district in this Commonwealth
shall provide and distribute to each pupil, enrolled in the eighth
grade of the public schools, one illustrated copy of the National
Flag Code, and shall, from time to time, make available such copies
as are necessary for replacements from year to year, and it shall
be the duty of each teacher in the public schools to make use of
the said code as may, from time to time, seem proper."
A.

To provide more adequate preparation for the teaching of the
"history of the United States and Pennsylvania," the Committee
recommends that a course in the history of Pennsylvania, two
semester hours credit, be required in the elementary curriculum.

-1475-

.

B.

The Committee recommends that the courses in Health
Education in the elementary curriculum be reviewed
and course descriptions revised so as to include all
mandatory health subjects enumerated in Section 160?

G.

The Committee calls special attention to the last
sentence in the above quoted section and suggests that
each president see that the provisions of this sentence
are carried out in the laboratory school.

RE:

Compensation for Deans

in many of the teachers colleges the number of men
students is so large as to make the duties incident to the office of
Dean of t.Ien comparable to those of the office of Dean of Vomen, I desire
to move an amendment to the qualification and salary schedule adopted
to begin June 1, 1928, as follows:
ViTiereas,

"In the Special Regulations:
#7, insert the word 'men' after
women in the first parenthesis and in paragraph
Deans of men delete the second sentence which now reads, 'L'o additional salary
compensation will be granted, but compensation shoiild be given in the
number of teaching hours.' Add to 7b, and 7c. each the sentence:

RE:

Revision of the Secondary Gurriculujn

In view of proposals nov/ under consideration by the State Council of
Education affecting permanent certification, it was the opinion of the
Committee that no extensive changes should be made in the secondary curriculum
at this time. The Committee recommends continued study and solicits the
suggestion of individuals and groups interested in providing a more flexible
program of studies and, at the same time, one more responsive to changing
demands in the public schools.

The Committee, therefore, has restricted its treatment to those
changes necessary to bring the secondary curriculum in line with the Board'
action at its meeting on November 15, 1940.

The following changes necessary to carry
recommended:

1.

1.

out'

First semester
That Place and Purpose of Education in the Social Order be
changed from 3-2 to 3-3, thus changing the totals from 21-15
to 21-16.

2.

Second semester - no change

3.

Third semester - no change

h.

Fourth semester
That the electives be changed from 5-5 to U-K, thus changing
thu totals from 18-17 to 17-16.

5.

Fifth semester - no change

6.

Sixth semester - no change

7.

Seventh semester
a.
b.
c.

8.

That Philosophy of Education, 2-2, be made an elective
instead of a required course.
That Ethics, 3-3, be included as a required course, and
That the electives be changed from 11-11 to 10-10.

Eighth semester
That the hours for Student Teaching be 18-12, thereby changing
the totals from 29-15 to 22-15.

Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular and Credentials

"REPORT OF THE CURRICULAR AND CREDENTIALS

January 17,
RE:

COMI^/IITTEE

19U

No-Credit Courses in Art and Music

The Committee has several times discussed the present status of
instruction in art and music in the elementary schools. On one occasion
there was presented to the Board of Presidents a study which showed that
approximately fifty percent of the students admitted to the Teachers
Colleges have had little or no instruction in art and music. Subsequent
inquiries by different colleges have varified the report. The condition
continues to exist in spite of the fact that art and music are included
among the subjects required by law to be taught in the public elementary
schools
The Committee believes that the chief factor for the solution
of this problem lies in providing teachers competent to teach art and music.
In the curriculum for the education of elementary teachers in art
and music, three courses similar in title, purpose, and credit are offered:

Art

Appreciation of Art

Art I
Art II

I

In art the purpose of the first course is to see art, understand
art, and learn to appreciate art.
In music it is to hear good music,
understand music, and learn to appreciate it. The first course in each
field aims to extend and enrich personal experience. Its objectives are
appreciation and enjoyment. It is cultural, not professional.
On the other hand, Art I and Art II, Music I and Music II are
professional courses. Music I and II are designed to develop competence to
teach music in the elementary school. Corresponding courses in art seek
similar competence in teaching art as a subject, separate or integrated with
other subjects of the elementary curriculum,
Viihen, however, students must be assigned to a professional course
dealing with fundamental skills and knowledge which they do not possess, it
is not reasonable to expect competence to teach as an outcome.
Under present
conditions, many teachers enter service in the elementary schools not prepared to teach art and music. In many schools these subjects are not taught.
Pupils from such schools later on enter teacher education institutions and the
process is repeated.

In order to improve this condition the Committee desires to make
four recommendations:
1.

The Comjnittoe urgently'' recommends that admission to the professional
courses in art and music Art I and Art II, Music I and Music II be
restricted to those students enrolled in the elementary curriculum
who have, in written and oral examinations, demonstrated a sufficient mastery of the knowledge and skills necessary to enable them
to pursue these professional courses with profit.

2.

It is recommended that courses in art and music carrying no college
credit be arranged for students enrolling in the elementary curriculum who are unable to meet the standard set for admission to the

—

—

professional courses in art and music.
3.

The Committee recommends that the State Superintendent of Public
Instruction be requested to appoint a committee of three instructors
in art and a committee of three instructors in music to v\fork with
the Chief of Art ijducation and the Chief of Music Education respectively in setting up a reasonable standard of competence in these
two subjects and in developing a form of examination which so far
as possible shall bu objective and of such a nature that it can be
readily and uniformly administered in all fourteen colleges. It
is believed by the Committee that if this recommendation be approved
the reports of these committees would serve admirably as the basis
for a conference of the instructors in art and music at some time
during the second semester of the current year.
In conclusion, the Committee recommends that the first and second
recommendations of this report become effective September 1, 1941.

Report of a Special Conference on the Civil Aeronautics

Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Special Committee, presented the
following report:
"RSPORT OF A SPECIAL CONFSRSNCS ON TKZ CIVIL AERONAUTICS
ADMINISTRATION PILOT TRAINING PROGRAl.'!

January 17,

19U

A conference was called by Doctor Klonower to consider problems
arising out of the conduct of the pilot training program of the C. A. A.
Present were John G. Flowers, representing Lock Haven; Harvey A. Andruss,
Bloomsburg; Albert Lindsay Rowland, Shippensburg; LeRoy A. King, Indiana;
and Robert M. Steele, California. Henry Klonower represented the Department
of Public Instruction.

training

The procedure for securing approval for offering courses in pilot
reviev;ed.
This procedure involves the following steps:

v«/as

1.

The approval of the college by the Superintendent of Public
Instruction.

2.

The approval of the college by the C. A. A. which involves
the approval of instructors for ground training courses, of an
airport close enough and with adequate facilities, and of a
contractor qualified to conduct flight training,

3.

The execution of contracts with the C. A. A. covering the
number of trainees and the payments due from the Federal
Government for the vvork.

Discussion of handling receipts and expenditures followed. It was
pointed out that regulations of the Fiscal Code cover receipts and expenditures exactly as they cover receipts from fees or miscellaneous revenue.
In
all cases receipts must be transmitted through the Department of Revenue to
the State Treasurer and all expenditures must be made on requisition from the
General Fund.
It was agreed that the cost to the college of offering the pilot
training program should not exceed the total receipts from tuition paid for
this course and from the Federal Government for such instruction. In
accordance vdth the expressed approval of the C. A. A. pilot training program
by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, no college undertaking this work
was to make claim for any additional allotment from the appropriation for the
maintenance and operation of the teachers colleges. It was agreed, however,
that expenditures might be made for equipment, traveling, reference material,
technical service, etc., necessary in carrying on the vrork, The total
expenditure for such items and for costs of instruction must not exceed
the total receipts from tuitions paid for the course and from the Federal
Government
It was further agreed because of the technical nature of some
units of the ground instruction course that technical service, advice, and

-1503-

I

assistance, in addition to that available on regular college staffs, might
be needed.
Therefore, tiie following recommendations were made to the
Superintendent of Public Instruction:
1.

That technical service, advice, or other assistance needed in the
conduct of the ground instruction in the C. A. A. Pilot training
Program beyond that available at the college may be secured provided
approval of the employment of such individual or individuals or the
purchase of such service has been obtained in advance from the
Superintendent of Public Instruction.

2.

That the total expenditure per student enrolled in the C. A. h. Pilot
Training course for technical service, advice, or other assistance
so employed shall not exceed seventy-five (75) pei' centum of the
amount paid by the Federal Government for Ground School Instruction
per student.

3.

That the rates of compensation shall not exceed rates of compensation
paid bv the Federal Government for similar service.

Doctor Ade, Chairman of the Fees Committee, reported that
Library Science Fee, which at the suggestion of the
the matter re:
Chairman, was referred to the Committee for further information, is
being considered by the Committee and that the information will be
submitted to the Board at a later date.

Compensation for Deans

B.

Doctor Rowland, Chairman of the Special Committee, presented the following report, suggesting certain changes in the
Report re: Compensation for Deans, adopted at the last meeting of
the Board:
"RIFOHT OF Tm SPECIAL GOMITTSE

March 21, 1941
C ompens ation for Deans

To the members of

t:ie

Board of Teachers College Presidents;

As the Board knows, the action taken at its last meeting
relative to the amendment to the qualification and salary schedule
for the State Teachers Colleges was held in suspension by the
Chairman, pending consultation with the Fees Committee to determine
whether there might be any inconsistencies due to the study of
administrative and supervisory salaries made by that Committee.

Pursuant to this action and at the suggestion of the Chairman,
a conference was held in Harrisburg by President Ade, Chairman of
the Fees Committee, Doctor Klonower and President Rowland.
At this
conference it was the consensus of opinion that there was no
essential conflict but that the motion as passed by the Board could
be advantageously sim.plified.
I vjould
therefore, move that the action previously taken by
the Board of Presidents and appearing in the minutes on pages 1483
and 1484 be and is hereby rescinded and that the following resolution
be passed in lieu thereof:
)

V/HEREAS the number of men students is so large as to make the
duties incident to the office of dean of men comparable to those of
the office of dean of women, and

WHEREAS the provisions nov; existing, permitting additions to
salaries of certain administrative officers up to a maximum of |500
and appearing in special regulations Nos. 7 and 8, are variously
expressed
BE IT RESOLVED: That special regulations 7 and 8 be deleted
and the following regulation substituted for No. 7:
"Additional
increments in salary up to a maximum of $500 may be paid to the
following administrative officers:
Deans of Instruction, Directors
of Student Teaching, Directors of duly authorized special curricula,

;

Deans of Men, Deans of

and

That the subsequent regulations
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED:
Nos. 9-14 inclusive be renumbered 8-13 inclusive.

On motion of Doctor Rowland, seconded by Doctor Rohrbach, it
was voted that the changes be adopted. The entire matter was then
referred to the Chairman of the Board for further consideration,
C.

Memberships in Organization s

Doctor Klonovrer, Secretary of the Board, stated that in view
of certain difficulties v;hich have been incurred by the Institutions
in submitting requests for m.emberships in organizations, it would be
helpful to have the letter stating the exact procedure to be followed
incorporated in the Minutes. Upon motion of Doctor Tanger, seconded
by Doctor Ade and Doctor Steele, it was voted that the following
letter be included in the Minutes:
,

February 27, 1941
To the Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges:

The following procedure vlll be follovred in this Department with
reference to requests for memberships in professional organizations by
the State Teachers Colleges.
This policy has been approved by Doctor
Haas and he has suggested that I advise each institution.

POLICY IN HANDLINa MEMPERSHIFS IN PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS
1,

requesting approval for each membership which is
sought.
The letter will include the follov/ing:

institution budget.

2,

This office will prepare a letter for Doctor Haas'
signature to the Governor's office following the
form suggested by Doctor Haas' office under date
of February 11, 1941 «
This letter will be transmitted to the Governor's office through the
office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Report of the Athlet ic Association Commit toe

Doctor Flowers, Chairm.an of the Athletic Association Committee,
reported that the Committee believes that controversies arising as to the
eligibility of athletes to participate in various sports is due to the
need for greater clarity in the rules and regulations.
In order to
facilitate this clarification the Comjnittee suggested that the Presidents
of the Institutions subm.it ideas, questions, and changes.
On the basis of
this information, a report will be prepared by the Commiittee for the purpose
of clarifying the present regulations.
This report will be presented to
the Board at a later date.
In this way the sum total of all thinking will
be incorporated into a definite program.

Doctor Flowers also stated that the final responsibility in
determining questions concerning athletics should rest with the President
of the Institution. Questions raised by coaches should be referred to
the President of the Institution and not to the Athletic Committee for
consideration.
Letters will be sent by the Athletic Committee to the several
Presidents requesting information which will be presented to the Board
in complete form at a later date.
C.

Report of the Testing Committee

the eastern and one in the western portion of the state, to be ready for
conversion into schools for higher vocational training for students desiring
to become skilled workers and artisans in the various vocational trades.
Under the terms of this bill it would also beccrre the duty of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to presribe details of a two-year course fcr
four year high school graduates; a three-year course for those who have haJ
three years of high scliool v^'ork; and a four-year course for those who have
had two years of high school work, these courses to be planned with no
discrimination as to race, creed, or color of the pupils taking the courses,
Within fifteen days after designation of the two schools to be so converted^
the Superintendent would send a written notice to all present students,
advising those who do not wish to take the vocational courses to transfer
to other Teachers Colleges.
The bill would carry an appropriation of
$50,000 for purchase of equipment, tools, machines, and instruments for the
different purposes for each college converted.

House Bill No. 460, sponsored by Representative Holland, vould
require a conversion of all the Teachers Colleges to "Pennsylvania State

defense. The instruction would be on a non-tuition basis in cooperation
with WPA and NYA agencies, the State Board for Vocational Education to
have power to prescribe rules and regulations governing admission to
these schools and to determine the standards for certificates to teach in
advanced technical and trade schools; also to establish a curriculum of
related practical and technical subjects. The Department of Public
Instruction would have general supervision over all these institutions.
All the State Teachers Colleges would continue as at present until the
Department of Public Instruction,* vlth the approval of the Governor,
takes them over for the new purpose. The Department of Public Instruction
would determine xvhich institutions are best suited to immediate conversion
and would report this determination to the Governor before the first day
of July, 1941, at which time not less than six of the institutions would
be immediately converted. Thereafter, additional institutions would be
converted from time to time until all would have been converted to the
new purpose not later than the first of September, 1942. The Department

Colleges of the Commonv/ealth to instruct students in agricultural
needs and problems, "particularly on the subjects of soil con-r

and rural electrification needs," The Superintendent of Public
Instruction would be charged with the responsibility of formulating
the program for these activities in order that the program would

INTERPRETATIONS AS MADE BY THE COMITTEE ON ATHLETICS
April 2k y 1936
The Athletic Committee was asked to rule upon the following situation:
"A student enrolled in one of the State Teachers Colleges last year transferred to State College at State College, Pennsylvania, in the fall and
attended State College for one semester. He did not like the environment or
the work at State College and so at the beginning of the second semester he
transferred back to the State Teachers College in which he was enrolled last
year."

The question was raised whether he is now eligible or ineligible under our
transfer rule. This is to advise you that the Athletic Committee had decided
that such a student is ineligible.
June 18, 1936

Section 3 of the Rules and Regulations Governing Athletic Competition of the
Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges reads as follows:
"A student to be eligible must have secured a passing grade in at least twelve
It is permiscredit hours of work during the quarter preceding each sport.
sible for a college to have a system involving more frequent reports. In all
cases exclusion from teams shall be for a period equal to the period covered
by the report. Such period to be not less than three weeks in length."

"If a student
One of the State Teachers Colleges has raised this question:
returns to summer school and passes subjects in which he has failed at the end
of the college year, should he be considered eligible to represent the college
in inter-collegiate contests during the following semester?"

This is to advise you that the Committee on Athletics has decided that such a
student is ineligible; may be eligible.

Section 2. Interpretation: A student took the secondary curriculum for three
years and changed to elementary, and finished the elementary in five years.
He did not play football the first two years in school.
He should, therefore,
be permitted to play only his third and fourth year in school, but not his
fifth year.
Section 3. Interpretation: A student who withdraws from school during either
the fall or spring semester and who does not return during the remainder of
that year would not be eligible to play football the following year since he
had not secured passing grades in at least twelve credit hours of work during
the quarter preceding the period in which he wished to play football. Such a
student would be permitted to play basketball provided he had been in school
since September and had secured passing grades in at least twelve (12) credit
hours of work during the first quarter.
If a student does not complete twelve
semester hours in a given semester and withdraws from college for one year, he
shall then be eligible to compete in any form of intercollegiate athletics.

Section 10. Interpretation: A student is eligible to participate in athletic
sports who is doing fifty hours a month of NYA work and thirty hours a month
of table waiting or library and other activities.

Memberships in Education al Organizations

Doctor Klonower, Secretary of the Board, read the following form
letter of April 2, 19A1. With the approval of the Chairman, the Board agreed
that the letter should be included in the minutes.
To the Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges:
We have just received a memorandum from the Budget Bureau Governor' s Office returning forty-five requests for approval of
memberships in various organizations covering nine of the State
Teachers Colleges with the following statement:
"It is suggested that one approval for each college be
prepared in duplicate, and submitted listing on each all
the memberships they wish to acquire within the fiscal year
together with the amount of dues belonging to each.

"In this manner the approval of memberships for each
institution would come to the Governor's attention only
once each fiscal year instead of repeatedly."

Since this changes the procedure which was indicated in the
letter of February 27, 1941, will you please revise all requests
to conform to this suggestion of the Budget Office,

Very sincerely yours

New Business
Summer School Opportunities

Doctor Rowland called the attention of the Board to the effective
and attractive advertising literature being sent from various institutions
including the Pennsylvania State College. He also stated that the State
Teachers Colleges are rather restricted along this line in type, character
and amount of advertising literature.
At the suggestion of the Chairman, the Board delegated this matter
to the Public Relations Committee, Doctor Rowland, Chairman, with the
suggestion that they study this situation and make a report to the Board at
a later date.
B.

Group Insurance

The Secretary read to the Board a letter dated March 4, \^IX to
Doctor Ackley from Mr. Orville Brown, Deputy Attorney General, concerning
group insurance for employes of the State Teachers Colleges.
The gist of the letter was to the effect that while legislation
might make it possible to pay premiums for group insurance from State funds,
the question remains whether as a matter of policy the State would consent

-1520-

to the use of such funds for the payment of such premiums
It was further
pointed out if employes desired group insurance and wished to pay full
premiums from funds which they themselves raised, there could be no objection
to this type of group insurance.
