REPORT OF THE

CREDB'TL'kLS COmilTTES
July 17, 1942
Re:
Resolution of North'vYestern Pennsylvania Couiity Superintendents,
January 20, 1942.
The Committee has studied the resolution passed by the County
Superintendents of Northwestern Pennsylvania on January 20, 1942, requesting the issuance of ILmited certificates to students in State Teachers
Colleges at the end of the fourth semester.
After examining reports from various sections of the state, your
Committee believes that th-cj need for teachers does not justify a radical
reduction in the standards of teacher education or certification such as is
implied in the resolution. The Cojnmittee further believes that present
provisions for the issuance of emergency certificates will take care of
shortages for the school year of 1942-1943.
The Committee believes it to be i'l the interest of the children
of the Co]nmonv:ealth to maintain the standard of four years of education
for teachers.
The Committee expresses willingness to set up special arrangements
of courses when need for this is demonstrated, but believes even in such
cases, emergency certification shouJ.d be granted in accordance with
-.1565-
i
present proceduro.

REPORT OF THE GURRICULAR AMD GREDEMTIaLS GOllilTTEE
July 17, 1942
Ro:
Revision of the Requirements for Specialiaation in Science - Secondary
CurriculiM
This committee has given careful and prolonged study to the
problems involved in improving the pi'eparation of science teachers. It has
had the assistance of sub-cojiiniittecs on various phases of the problem. It
has had the benefit of reports of nationa.l and state associations and
scientific societies interested in the improvement of science instruction
in the public schools. The comiTiittoe has submitted to each college for study,
criticism, and suggestion tentative reports embodying the essential parts of
the recommendations vjhich follo'«,
Vifar conditions and the needs of the armed forces have demonstrated
the urgency of radical changes in present practice in the preparation of scion
teachers. Therefore, the committee submits the following recommendations:
1,
That specialization iti Physical Science, Biological Science, and Science
now provided shall be discontinued,
2,
That four fields of specialization in science be recognized and offered by
colleges x'viiose equipment and staff permit and where needs of service areas
justify:
a.
b,
Biology
Cheiiiistry
c.
d.
Physics
General Science
3.
That for a first field of specialization not fewer than twenty-four (24)
semester hours of courses as outlined hereinafter shall be roquirc-d and
for a second field of specialization not fev/cr than eighteen (IS)
semester hours,
4.
That General Science be recognized as a separate field of specialization
requiring not f e'lver than thirty (30) semester hours distributed over all
the different fields of science as outlined later in this report.
-1566-
)
5.
That six (6) semester hours in Physical Science and six (6) semester hours
in Biological Science be required of all prospective elementary teachers
and all secondary teachers not specializing in any phase of science,
provided that e>:ceptions may be outlined in special curriculums.
6,
That the following requirements for specialisation in the various fields of
science become effective for students entering college in September, 19A-2.
A. Biology
1.
Instead of Biological Science I and II, students spocia-lizinf; in
biology shall take either Botany I and II or Zoolog;.' I and II.
2.
Instead of Physical Science I and II, students specializing in biology
shall take Chemist it I and II.
3.
For a first field of specialization the recommended courses listed below
shall bo completed and not fev/cr than tv.'elve (12) semester hours chosen
from the elective courses. If biology is the second field of specialization, the recommended courses should be completed and not fewer than six
(6) semester hours from the list of elective courses.

Re:

Certification Reqijiirements in Science
Since the present certification requirements in science do not
guarantee adcGuato preparation for the fields taught and since any effort
to raise standards of ccrnpetence must jjievitably depend upon the requirements
for certification, this committee reconmcnds that the Bo^-rd of Presidents
respectfully request the Superintendent of Public Instruction to urge the
State Council of Education to consider the followin/r proposals affecting
certification in science.
1.
That certification iii the entire fj.eld of Biological Science, the entire
field of Physical Science and in the entire field of Science on the present
basis of eighteen (IS) semester hours of approved preparation be discoriti-iued.
2.
That certification be provided for Biolog;/, Chendstry, and Physics each on
the presentation of not fewer than eighteen (IS) semester hours of
approved preparation,
3.
That certification in General Science be authorized on the presentation
of a minimum of thirty (30) semester hoiars of approved preparation in
scientific fields including courses in: Chemistry, physics. Botany,
Earth Science and Llat hematics.
The corairiittee believes that effective teaching of General Science
requires an acciuaintance mth so many fields that it is impossible to
secure adequate preparation in the minimum requirement of eighteen
semester hours.

REPORT OF THE CURRICIJUR AMD CREDEt^TBLS COI/MITTEE
July 17, I9/+2
Re: Preparation of Teachers of Aeronautics
The committee recognizes the fact that the air age into which the
world is nov; emerging mil affect profoundly all phases of social, economic,
and political life, national and international. It is obvious, therefore,
that the public schools must be prepared to furnish youth the knowledge and
experiences that will best fit them to adapt themselves to the new conditions
imposed, and to prepare them to assume the responsibilities and accept the
opportunities and leadership v\rhich com.e to thom vath the conquest of a
medium of transportation »vhich vdll make the v/hole world one neighborhood.
The committee recommends:
1.
That each teachers college faculty be requested to study the implications
of the air age.
There shouJ.d be a re-exanination of the content of all
courses which lend themselves to the conditioning of future teachers, to
the impacts of the air age, and to an awareness of the necessity of
controlling its development and directing- it to^'vard the security and
welfare of all races and all peoples.
2.
That the Board of Presidents authorize a field of specialization in
aeronautics in the secondary curriculim and request the State
Superintendent to designate such institutions as in his judgment have
proper facilities and have demonstrated or shall demonstrate ability
to provide proper training in aviation or aeronautics to experiment
mth the preparation of teachers of aeronautics.
3.
That this committee be authorized to set up the courses on the same
basis of first and second fields of specialization as has been done
for other elective fields in the secondary curriculum,
4.
That preceding the organization of courses in this area credit shall
be given towards future certification for all courses in aviation or
aeronautics approved as free electives on the basis of the procedures
now in effect.

This acknowledges your memorandum of September 15 relating
to ^'"ar dam^age insurance.
This matter vas discussed Friday,
Septem.ber 18, 1942 at the m.eeting of the Board of Presidents.
In their opinion is it not advisable at this tim.e to consider
purchasing such insurance for the folllvlng reasons:
1. The
1941-43 budget m.akes no provision for this item.
2. The decline in enrollmient for the coming semester is
seriously reducing local income,
3.
E,
The State Insurance Fund (Section 24C2h of the Administrative
Code) apparently is intended to cover institutions a^iainst
the hazard involved,

particular problem^s or vith a sufficient background of information to properly
evaluate and build up a case for each particular request. An attem.pt had been
miade to solve this difficulty by asking the institutions to sond direct to the
Priority Officer specific answers to 21 questions in support of each request
for a priority ratin*?.
This procedu-re has not solved the rT*oblem. and a nev- outline of 10
questions has been prepared, a copy of vhich is attached to this lettey^

Mr. Frank R. Fish of the School Plant Division of tbis Department
will assist the Priority Officer in assembling the facts in support of all

Dr. Henry Klonov?er, Director of Teacher Education and Certification,
opened the meeting iftith introductory remarks. He stated that the annual meeting
of the Deans was too important to omit because of war conditions.
It is of
value to each of the Deans but it is also valuable to the Department. It is
particularly valuable today because of the meeting at 11:00 A.M. with the Testing
Committee of the State Teachers Colleges. He discussed the problems of supply
and demand of teachers as it affects the work of a Dean. He further expressed
his appreciation of the cooperation of the Deans in coming to the meeting.
Dr. Harry L. Kriner, Assistant Director of Teacher Education and Certification, then took charge of the meeting as Chairman, and welcomed the Deans

The topics on the Docket were then discussed as follows:
A.
PROBLEMS IN CONNECTION
VilTH
THE WAR
1.
In granting credit for partly completed courses for persons going
into the armed forces, it was the concensus of opinion that poor students might
be inclined to enlist if they could receive credit for incomplete work. Several
of the colleges have a plan whereby an examination may be given in lieu of work
uncompleted for full credit. This is a problem which should be placed on the
basis of the quality of ork completed by each individual student. It v/as
agreed th-vt this was an individual problem as far as the student and theinstitution is concerned. The average credit given to college students is one credit
per each v/eek of college attendance. It was felt th t full credit might be given
in skill subjects where a certain proficiency is required and attained and no
credit in subjects where competency could not be demonstrated. The Deans felt
that no student should be given credit for work that was not done. The colleges
will be in a better position after the war if we have substantial r. cords vvhich
can easily be understood. The three points gathered from this discussion were as
follows:
1.
2.
3.
Granting of Credit is an individual problem so far
as the student and the college is concerned.
The regulation of allowing one credit per week of
attendance should be adhered to rather closely.
The report should be so recorded that it might be
considered a closed case in order that it can be
picked up by any one, eitner in the institution
or another college, after the war is over.
2.
A discussion was given to the scheduling of work in civilian
pilot training courses and the problsms involved were found to be largely concerned with individual institutions. Dean Beiges felt th t those who took the
civilian pilot training courses earned the four credits which may be given to
the student, either as free electives or in the field of mathematics and in
science. Wherever credit is permitted in an elective fielf, it 7«as thought
advisable for the credit to be in keeping with the regulations for graduation
and certification and should be determined by the Dean with the help of the
head of the department concerned.
Extension classes were well attended last year, but because of the
gasoline and tire rationing, the problem of organizing a program to meet the
demands of teachers-in-service is confusing. Dr. Jaarsma suggested that each
college make a survey of the extension and part-time campus classes, as demanded
by the teachers in the area. Then the program which will meet the greatest
demand and can be handled under present regulations should be offered either on
or off the campus, according to the results found in the survey. The Deans
agreed with Dr. North when he stated that the extension centers should be kept
alive if possible or otheiwise they might be taken over by other colleges.
3.
In beginning the discussion of demand for teachers and recruiting
4..
of students to maintain a reasonable su ply, it was pointed out that there was a
shortage in certain sections hile other sections and districts have an over
It was further pointed out that
supply, especially of certain types of teachers.
the Deans shoiold know the fields and the districts in whicy the supply was not
equal to the demand. No doubt, the Deans have a duty in encouraging gradu tes
-2-
to accept positions in those districts in vyhich there is a demand for their
services.
The Deans were also asked to use their influence in having Superintendents
fill their vacancies where possible -.vith teachers having the higher type of certificates, rather than to hc.ve them filled i^ith holders ox" an old partial elementary certificate or some type of certificate vyhich indicates a low level of
preparation. It was pointed out that it would be advantageous for the boys and
girls of the Commonwealth, as well as for the colleges for the Deans to encourage
all te chers who because of the emergency are re-entering the profession to take
refresher courses and to work toward the completion of a degree curriculum v.here
such is not already a fact.
The use of the elementary temporary standard certificate was explained.
Teaching on this certificate cannot be used as part of the three years experience
needed to make a college certificate permement. If a college certificate valid in
the secondary field has been extended to include the elementary field, the three
years of teaching experience on the college certificate in the elementary field
would count toward making the certificate permanent. In order to use a teacher
on the basis of the elementary temporary standard certificate, evidence must be
given that there is no qualified elementary teacher available for the vacancy
and the certificate must be requested by the superintendent of schools and must
be for one specific position. The certificate is not issued to anyone and everyone holding a college certificate valid in the secondary field.
College morale is a major problem resulting from the war. Immediately
$.
after the Pesrl ?Iarbot incident, college morale became low and the student attitude
was one of "what's the use." The result was, naturally, low grades and an increase
in failures. However, with the second semester last year and the present summer
session the attitude has been completely reversed. The trend now seems to be that
"we h;.ve a job to do and we must get the most out of college while we can."
It was
agreed that the Deans should do all possible to keep the morale of the faculty and
students on a high level. In the organization of classes and the scheduling of
students, this factor should be kept in mind. Dr. Jaarsma suggested that the morale
was helped by making use of an accelerated program and by tne absorption of surplus
faculty members into the armed forces.
MEETING WITH
TESTING
COfjftilTTEE
The meeting of the Deans of Instriction .^djourned and the Deans went to
Room 321 where the Testing Committee had been finishing their work on the Sophomore
At this meeting the various
Tests which had been given in the college last spring.
graphs prepared from the results of the tests were distributed. There was a general
discussion on the use which could be made of these graphs and the results of the
tests. The Deans had a number of questions answered concerning the construction of
the graphs and the meaning of them.
It was the concensus of opinion that the
results of these tests would be helpful to the Deans in the administration of their
work.
This Meeting Adjourned at 12:15 P. M.

CUHRICULDM AMD INSTRUCTION
Typed sheets of the program of courses for the elementary cnrricni!•
and the explanation of specialization and electives were passed out to the
Deans. Under the new curriculum It is not necessary f or a student to specialize

student teaching was completed and grades for which curriculxim materials were made
applicable should be indicated on the Approved Education Certificates used in
applying for a college certificate. Unless the student teaching and. the curriculum materials were completed for grades below the fourth. Early Childhood Education may not be placed on the certificate as a field of specialization. Likewise
the experience shall be in grades four, five, and six to have specialization in the
Intermediate grades. Every student may be certified in just the elementary field.
Beginning next year the action of the Board of Presidents in this connection as
far as certification is concerned will be followed. If no notation ©f the field
of specialization appears on the transcript, the student will be certificated in
elementary subjects. Dr. North asked whether it was better to specialize or just
give work in the elementary field. The majority of the Deans were of the opinion
that specialization was not the best, since a broader area is necessary In the
schools where the students must find a position and often specialization operated
against an E^plicant.
l\im
In checking the recent revisions in all curficulums, the Deans were
2#
urged to make sure that graduates have all subjects which are required by State
Council action. According to the action of the Board of Presidents, it is the
obligation of each college to see that the requirements are met. Each graduate
should complete three hours in Introduction to Teaching (Place and Purpose).
Educational Psychology after completing General Psychology—three semester hours,
and six hours of student teaching, and six hours of appropriate education. In
addition to these provisions American Government and Visual Education shall be
given in each curriculum according to action of the Board of Presidents.
Concerning the proposed regiialtions for Science, nothing official coiild
be said because the action of the Board of Presidents on these had not been signed
by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, The Deans were urged to read the
minutes of the meeting of the Board of Presidents when they are released relative
They were also urged to carefully read the curriculum
to the revisions in Science,
revisions in Health and Physical Education for the elementary and secondary fields.
If approved, these provisions will become effective September 1942, and are compulsory for freshman this fall. It was thought that all curriculvim changes should
be put into effect as quickly as possible to avoid duplicating programs. The
Deans were cautioned not to confuse the term ""general science" in the proposed
revision with the certification term "science,"
The Discussion then turned to values in t erms of semester hours for
old normal school courses given prior to 1920 when credit was not attached to
courses. The credit should be determined by the length of time spent in the class
In all cases the total amount of credit given should

approximate one semester hour for each week in attendance. It was agreed that the
credit given shoiild be in terms of competency and the remaining credits required
should be in terms of deficiencies. A committee five years ago prepared some suggestions for the evaluation of credentials toward college graduation which the
Deans agreed had been valuable but is now out of date. The Deans felt that this
information should be brought up to date and, therefore. Dr. Kriner appointed the
following committee to revise the "Evaluation Report." Dean Menhennett of West
3.
-4-
Chester, Dean Naegle of East Stroudsburg, and Desn Wrignt of Shippensburg were asked
to help Dean McClelland of Kutztown to revise the old report, bringing it up to date.
Where evaluations are made for students who are not graduates of an
approved four-year high school, all credentials should be submitted to the office
of Teacher Education and Certification on official transcripts. These credits are
arranged for the Office of Pre-Professional Credentials to check for the high echooi
equivalent certificate and the report is sent by the Office of Teacher Education and
Certification to the Dean who submitted the credentiel-s.
The variation and uniformity in credit value attached to approved
4..
courses was next discussed. It was agreed that the amount of credit attached to a
course could only be in terms of the action of the Board of Teacher College Presidents or through the approval by the Superintendent of Public Instruction for a free
elective. The variation in credit has boen brought about by change in curpiculums
from time to time. Courses, however, shall be scheduled in keeping with the latest
revisions of the Board of Teacher College Presidents.
The requirements of Section 1607 of the School Laws of Pennsylvania
5.
were then discussed. During the past few years the elementary degree curriculums
offered in various teacher educational institutions hf;ve been reviewed. It is
essential that the courses in elementary degree curriculums cover the subjects
required in the elementary schools under Section 1607 of the School Laws of Pennsylvania. It was agreed that the Deans have an obligation to make sure that this
material is being included in the approved elementary curriculuci.
DEFENSE PROJECTS
At this point Doctor Klonower asked the Deans to see that the report on
defense projects sent to their colleges recently would be returned to the Office of
Teacher Education and Certification by the following Monday. He also urged the
Deans to read carefully Section 2002.1 of the School Laws of Pennsylvania. At this
time he introduced Dr. George Franklin Stover who was recently appointed as consultant to War-time Education Committees. Dr. Stover sought the advice of the Deans
in the construction of a letter to be sent out to Superintendents and Directors of
Summer Sessions, concerning the preparation of teachers for aviation as offered in
secondary schools.
The next item on the docket was centered aroimd the testing program.
It was the opinion of the group that the testing program could be of little value
to an institution unless the Dean was familiar with the program -nd was instrumental
in its use.
It was felt that the testing program must be so organized that the Dean
can through this improve the product of the teacher college. The implementing of the
testing program is a task for the Dean.

C.
OfiGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION
1.
In meeting the increased demand for transcripts there are several
possibilities. California State Teachers College is planning the use of blueprints and Bloomsburg State Teachers College is tentatively planning the use of
photostatic copies. The Deans felt that the essential factor in transcripts was
accuracy, not only accuracy in copying but accuracy in interpretation.
2.
In submitting and filling out application blanks, the Dean's signature should be on the front of the sheet.
It is essential that a notation is made
on the transcript to the effect that the student has been graduated from a four-
-5-
year school giving its location, and that a statement indicates that the original
copy of tne high school credits is on file in the college office. In subinittinK the
transcripts for a certificate in trie secondary field tne new bl .nk provides for the
listed separately. If, however, the transcripts are submitted
teaching fields to
on the Approved Education Cert ficate, the field of concentration should ba set
asids separately as elective fields and tirie core subjects in the sasae fields numbered
according to the field of concentr,.tion. It was found that some institutions have
the core subjects in the secondary field mimeographed. ^Vhere this is the case errors
in certification would be averted if a (1) would be placed in front of all core
subjects which may be used in the first field of concentration, and a (2) in front of
those core subjects which could be used in the second field of concentration. In
other words, if English is the first field of concentration the various electives in
English would appear together below the mimeographed core curriculum and a (1) should
appear before the two freshman English courses and the sophomore Literature courses,
as well as before Fundamentals of Speech.
It appeared that the acceler^ited program was causing little difficulty

could be solved by each Dean keeping a record of the student's peculiar and exceptional needs for several years in advance. The schedule could be set up in a way
that a rotation of courses would meet the accumulated demands.
The Deans felt that the proper use of their catalogues was a definite

help in guiding the students in meeting the various requirements set up by the State
and the individual institutions. A specially prepared data sheet which gives the
answers to the many questions asked by the different students has been found to be
very helpful. This mimeographed sheet can be prepared easily without must cost and
can be revised often. These sheets can be made useful for the students enrolled and
for the public which is continually asking questions about certain phases of college
administration and policy. Dr. North felt that it might be quite advantageous for
the Deans to consult the offerings in the Post-Sessions and oUier sessions as sent
to each Dean from the other colleges.
At this point each Dean was thanked for his dontribution to the program
of the day and for his cooperation throughout the year.
The meeting adjourned 3:15 P.M., E.W.T.

DEPARTMENT 0? HJBLIC INSTRUCTION
TEACHER EDUCATION AND CERTIFI CATION
Harrlsburg
August 4, 1942
To Covmty and Dlatrlot Superintendents:
The attached tables present data with reference to the "Profess! ooal Status
of Teachers in the Public Schools of the Commonwealth aa of November 1, 1941''* niesa
tables have bean developed from information submitted to the Department of Public
Instruction on the Applications for Appropriations. This particular study comes at
the end of a twenty-two year period since it has been the custom to refer to the year
1920-21 as the beginning of the Teacher Education program follov7lng the adoption of the
certification regiilations at that time. Both the certification regulations and the
Teacher -Education prof:ram have been in a state of continuous growth and deTSlopoent
during the two decades. The results of the effectiveness of the program are indicated
in the improved professional status of teachers In all school districts of the Ooninonwealtll*
During the past twenty-two years, steady gains have been made in every school district
of the State in the matter of providing the boys and girls in the public schools with
teachers who have completed four years of post secondary education for teaching. Tb9
record indicates that 51.6 par cent of all the teachers employed in the Commonwealth are
graduates of approved Institutions of hl^er learning and that these teachers hove oonpleted
an approved four year curriculum leading to a baccalaureate degree.
Since approximately 100.0 per cent of the 62,423 teachers now employed In the
public schools have completed two years or more of post secondary education, attention le
no longer directed to these figures. Most school districts have accepted the i^e&eral
standard for teacher education in the elementary field as four years of post secondary
education. Attention is called to the fact that in 1920-21 only 70.5 per cent of the
teaching force had standard certificates representing two years of post secondary education
as coT-pared with approximately 100.0 per cent for the school year 1941-42. A large
percentage of the number of teachers irtio have leas than four years of post secondary
education are continuing their education in institutions of higher learning* It is only
a matter of time when most of the teachers in this group will have completed the more
extended education and thus further increase the percentage of college graduates In the
public schools.
The tables indicate the percentage of teachers who have completed four years of
college education in 1920-21 as compared with the number in 1941-42. The data shows that
substantial progress has been made by all the school districts during the past twenty-two
years in the employment in the public schools of the Commonwealth of teachers who have
completed four years of college education. From the school year 1920-21 to the school
year 1941-42, a period of twenty-tv/o years, there has bean a gain of 43.9 per cent in the
number of teachers who have had the more extended education. For the year 1941-42, of
the 62,423 teachers, a total of 51.6 per cent are college graduates as compared with
7,7 per cent in 1920-21.
The substantial and consistent increase In the number of teachers with more
extended education is indicated by the figures for the State as a whole \mder "Grand Total".
In first class school districts, 47.1 per cent are collere graduates; in second class school
districts, 58.0 per cert of the teachers are college graduates; in third class school
districts, 59.7 per cenc of the teachers are college c^raduates; and in fourth class school
districts and those third class school districts under the supervision of the county
superintendent, 47.7 per cent are college rraduates. This latter figure is particularly
interesting for it means that there has been a consistent and steady increase In the
number of college graduates in the rural areas and that of the 29,602 teachers supervised
by county superintendents, aijproxlmately 50.0 per cent, (47,7 per cent), of thao are
college graduates.
In view of the present emergency situation, these firurss are encouraging. They
present a satisfactory T)lcture of the substantial improvement of the teaching service in
the public schools of the Commonwealth.

A Report of the National
College Sophomore Testing Program.
A Report of the National
Sophomore Testing Program Administered in
the State Teachers Colleges
of
Pennsylvania

Nature of the Testing Program.
A,
1.
In cooperation with other colleges and universities throughout
the nation, the fourteen teachers colleges of Pennsylvania administered the National Sophomore Tests Published by the Cooperative Test Service under the direction of the Board of Presidents through the Testing Committee.
2,
Tests administered included the Cooperative English Test containing suh-tests on Mechanics of Expression, Effectiveness of
Expression, and Reading Comprehension; the Cooperative General
Culture Test containing suh-tests in current social problems,
history, literature, fine arts, science and mathematics; ajid the
Cooperative Contemporary Affairs Test including political events
social and economic events, science and medicine, literature,
fine arts and amusements.
Administration and Scoring of the Tests.
B,
1.
Tests were administered in the several Teachers Colleges in
March, 1942.
2.
The administration and scoring of the tests was directed by the
following representatives of the following institutions H, T.
Parsons, Lock Haven; M. S. Hlskey, Edinboro; R. B, Beard, Indiana; C. L. McKelvie, West Chester; C. F. Becker, Clarion;
Dean Dutcher, Millersville; C. R, McClelland, Kutztown; John J.

and results forwarded to Dr. E. J, Sullivan, Chief Personnel
Examination Division, Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, Pa.
"
Page 3
4.
With the assistance of R. B. Beard and C. R. McClelland, the
results were tabulated and graphical charts prepared by Doctor
Sullivan and his staff.
Results of the Tests.
C.
1.
Six separate profile charts were prepared showing the results
obtained on English Test A, English Test B, English Test C,
English Test Total, General Culture Test and Contemporary Affairs Test. Statistical data were shown for each test including measures of central tendency in terms of median and mean,
and measures of variability in terms of Q-j^ and Q^, sigma and
the range. Comparisons were shown in terms of percentile scores
for each of the institutions, for the nation, for the Teachers
Colleges as a group, and for students in the Secondary Departments of all Teachers Colleges in the state.
2,
On each chart the wide portion of each bar represents the range
of the scores of the middle half of each group (Q,^ and Q^)
The
narrow parts extend up to /l sigma and down to -1 sigma and include the middle two thirds of the distribution. The dotted
lines extend up to the hi^est score and down to the lowest score
(range).
The short solid line cutting each bar represents the
mean score of each group and the short dotted line the median
score. The three solid horizontal lines drawn across the gr«^h
represent the state mean and - sigma while the three horizontal
dotted lines represent the state median, Q-j^ and Q-^^. These lines
are so drawn to provide facility in comparing results.
.
Purposes of the Tests.
D,
1.
The avowed purpose of the National College Sophomore Testing Program is to "provide colleges with the means of estimating knov/ledges, abilities and interests which are representative of the
student's acadpmic and cultural backgroiinds.
2.
Tests are given at the end of the Sophomore year since this marks
the main period of the student's general education in most colleges and since his subsequent study in likely to involve some

of Pennsylvania, however, considerable specialization in introduced
during this time and hence less time is devoted to those educational
experiences considered to be "general,"
3.
Values which may be gained through this testing program include
(l) a measurement of the individual student's general educational
achievements, (2) providing information for the student's selfappraisal of his interests, aptitudes, and abilities with a view
toward guiding him In planning subsequent indeavors and enhancing
his personal satisfaction and worth, and (s) providing information

which will assist the college in making an institutional selfappraisal and thus assist it in increasing its effectiveness.

the possibility of less effective instruction in this department
should be considered.
3.
In this field students appear to be a more homogeneous group than
students in other institutions of collegiate grade. Such results
may point to the lack of recognition of individual differences,
particularly in providing for the more able students.
General Culture Test
1.
On the General Culture Test there is evidence that students in the
Secondary Department rsuik higher than stucients in all other departments of the Teachers Colleges. This result is doubtless due to the
increased emphasis and time spent on general education during the
first two years of the secondary curriculum. Conversely results are
relatively low for students enrolled in specialized curricula probably because more time is spent in specialized study than in general
academic courses.

Results vary in the several sub-tests perhaps in proportion to the
emphasis placed upon them during the first two years in the various

can be attributed to the required courses for all students in all
curricula in this field.
3.
Careful study should be made of the contributions which this test
makes to the qualities which are necessary for the successful teachOne might question whether such a measure of general culture

involves any wide acquaintance and facility with children although
such acquaintance and facility are essential characteristics of a
good teacher in the ordinary classroom.
Contemporary Affairs Test
1,
Among the several Teachers Colleges there is a wide variation in
the student's understanding of comtemporary affairs.
Page 5
2,
Students in the Secondary Department again attained scores
on this test which were considerably higher than those obtained by students in all other departments of the colleges.
3,
The very nature of contemporary affairs places the responsibility for their acquisition on the college itself since there
is little dependence upon past experience or cultural backgrotmds.
4,
Considerable variation exists in results obtained on the tests
of the various phases of contemporary affairs pointing to a
probable variation in the en5>ha8i8 placed by the several teachers colleges on each phase.
Knowledge of the various elements of culture is essential for
good teaching but in addition there must be a complete understanding of current affairs,

General Interpretations
1.
Definite conclusions should be drawn only after the results of
several tests are available and only after all factors affecting the scores have been determined. The results of a single
test are an inadequate base from which to draw definite conclusions.
2«
Results sho\ild be interpreted only with a knowledge of the student's ability, preparation, cultural background, and his educational experiences.
3.
National norms represent the average achievement of all students
and should not necessarily be onsidered as the standard to be

sought by all students.
possible to have all students above the national or state median
or mean.
4.
The spread of the middle 50^ as well as the middle two-thirds is
significant in adapting methods of instruction and materials.
The wider the spread the more heterogeneous the group and the
more need for diversified methods and materials. A narrow
spread may indicate either a relatively homogeneous group through
selection or the result of limited materials and methods used with
a heterogeneous group which failed to reach the upper and lower
levels.
5.
Reading ability may affect the scores on all other tests and should
be considered in evaluating the scores received on all other tests.
6.
Basically, students in teachers colleges probably differ little
from students in other colleges in mental ability but appear to
have lower reading achievement and less adequate general backgrounds.
Page 6
7,
Ill
Individual performance in a standard intelligence test is
probably the best single criterion to determine validity of
achievement in a single subject field. High intelligence
scores would be difficult to reconcile with low achievement
scores and would indicate either a low validity of the achievement test or a need for improvement in instruction.
Implications of the Testing Program
.
A.
On Admissions
!
Shortages found from an analysis of the tests should be studied
with regard to their bearing on policies and standards of entrance or admission requirements. Provisions for remedial measures might thus be attacked early in the student's college career.
B,
2.
The relationship between the student's cultural background, or
lack of it, as determined by personal interviews and the results
obtained on the General Culture Test should provide a better
means of selection.
3.
Results of all the tests can profitably be utilized for conferences with high school principals in schools from which students
are enlisted and programs strengthened before the students reach
the time of graduation from the secondary schools.
On Curriculum Construction, Revision and Enrichment
1,
Test results should be studied with respect to their bearing on
schedule making, curriculum revision and progrjun making.

The results of the tests may be used as a point of departure for
a study of the curriculum, to determine in what areas of escperience there are overlappings and in what areas there are shortThis would necessitate the study of the materials incluages.

justments within courses or to the addition or deletion of courses.
4.
If results in a given field are low attempts should be made to
Improve the situation by a study of possible new procedures or

5.
A study of the tests should be made by the instructors in each
field to determine whether or not the qualities which they measure are valid for the profession of teaching. A prerequisite
to such an analysis should be the determination of the objectives
of teacher education and the specific objectives within each field.

5.
There is conflicting opinion whether or not college, state
and national norms should be made abailable to students in
evaluating the results of the test scores. Majority opinion
seems to favor the use of at least the college and state
norms in student counselling.
6.
Test results should be made available to the Placement Office
for utilization in professional counselling,
Instructional Procedures
1.
Test results may be used as motivating factors in areas in
which weaknesses are noted. Conversely, some areas may show
evidence of being over taught and instructional procedures
may be modified accordingly.

Limitations of the Testing Program
•
A.
B,
Lack of Uniformity in Administration
1.
There appeared to be considerable lack of uniformity in the size
fo the groups tested and the conditions under which the tests were
administered. Groups varies from 30 to more than 100 and tests
were given in types of rooms varying from an ordinary classroom
to an auditorium.
2.
The time for administering the tests varied widely. In some institutions tests were given in the early morning and in others
late in the afternoon. No uniformity was noted in the day of the
week on which such tests were administered. In some institutions
students were excused from classes during the test day and in
others tests were given at the conclusion of the regular class
periods.
3.
Little uniformity was noted in orienting students to the testing
In some institutions the procedures and purposes of the
program.
tests were discussed at a preliminary meeting, in others an assembly program was devoted to a discussion of the program and in others
motivation was affected by the suggestion that test results would

no preliminary meetings were held.
4.
No uniformity was had in the number of tests administered in a sinIn some institutions only one test a day was administered,
gle d.sy»
and in others all three tests were administered in one day.
5.
There was some evidence of a lack of uniformity in the administration of the tests themselves.
Limiting Factors
1.
Since the items included in the tests have not been measured against
the objectives set forth for the various insitutions of teacher education, results should be accepted with caution until such a validity has been determined.

Tests were constructed for "both teachers colleges and liberal

measures of general education and since the latter type of institution confines its study almost exclusively to this field,
norms may be expected to favor this type of institution. Norms
determined by scores received exclusively by teachers colleges
would appear to be more reliable for our purposes.
C, Use of Test Results
1.
It should be the responsibility of the President of the college
to determine specifically how the results should be used in
each institution.
2.
No publicity shall be given the results of these tests beyond
the immediate staff of the institution.

Report of

Athletic Committee
Doctor Swope, Chainnan of the Athletic ComrrittBB, asked that all
requests for interpretations or changes be presented to him in writing by
the Presidents of the colleges concerned. He stated that a request had been
received for a change in the regulation governing transfer students but, in
the light of the Committee's study, it was decided that this regulation
should not be changed.
The attention of the Board was also called to the last edition of
the Athletic Regulations appearing on page 1515 of the Proceedings of the
Meetings of the Board of Presidents, State Teachers Colleges, May, 1941,
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Noonan, it was
voted that the report of the Athletic Committee be adopted,
B.
Educational Conferences during the War Pe riod
The question of postponing educational conferences and other
meetings during the war period was discussed. Due to transportation
difficulties many meetings have been canceled. However, in the lip'ht of
the important part education plays in the war effort and because of the
educational contacts necessary betv een school principals and colleges and
universities during these critical tim.es, it was decided not to abandon
such meetings. The Chairman of the ^oard appointed a committee to discuss
and study specifically the question of holding local area conferences to
advance thd war effort through educational activities.
C
.
Students Financed by Vocational Rehabilitation B oar d
The question was raised as to the late registration fee in
connection with students financed by tbe Vocational Rehabilitation Roard
since no paym.ents may be charged in advance.
It was pointed out that a
student may be excused from paying a late registration fee at the discretion of the President and since the Vocational Rehabilitation Board
has a signed contract with the college before a student so financed enters
the college, the fees will eventually be paid.

.1590-
I
I
,
by Section 2C02.1 of the School Code (Act 2 34, approved July 28, 1942,
effective until June 1, 1945) with the approval of the Superintendent
of Public Instruction and the Executive Poard of the ComiTiOnwealth
compensation for teaching or other services to other than rectular
college students may be paid to employes in addition to the regular
college contractual salary, ifi, in the judgment of the President of
the college, such services are in excess of those regularly rendered.
Provided that this payment policy may be applied to other
persons needed to make effective such proe'ramis.
Provided, further, that coordinators of instruction on such
programs m.ay be compensated for a number of hours of service not to
exceed t^'enty percent of the total nmnber of hours.
provided that the rates of hourly payments used to compute such
compensation shall be those approved by the cooperating agencies.
Provided, further, that the total expenditures by the college
for compensation of employes shall not exceed seventy-five (75) percent
of the amount received by the college for the cooperating agency.
On ffiOtion of Mr. Andruss, seconded by Doctor Van Fouten, the
Board voted that the report be adopted,
A copy of the minutes of the above meeting of August 11, 1942
follows page 1593 as Exhibit *'G".
Attention was specifically called to the importance of sending
from each institution a complete list of names of all instructors for vhom
approval for extra compensation will be requested to the Superintendent of
Public Instruction. Specific approval by the "Executive Poard must be
secured in advance of the employment period.
Under date of November 18, 1942 the following letter was addressed
to each President emphasizing the importance of submitting the lists for
pre-approval:
To the Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges:
So that the request may be prepared far in advarce for the
(xovemor' s approval, it will be necessary to make new application
requesting permission to ^rant extra compensation payments for
defense projects to members of the instructional staff. It vill
be necessary to make new applications effective January 1, 1943.
The suggestion is m.ade this far in advarce so that you may have
an opportunity to organize whatever program.s you deem advisable. You
will recall that all such extra-com.pensat ion payments must be preapproved by the Governor before the work is actually undertaken.
Very sincerely yours

Federal Security Agency
Doctor Klonower distributed among the members of the Board certain
publications printed under the auspices of the United States Treasury
Department, The United States Secret Service has set up an educational
program concerning: the knowledge and use of money and the prevention of
Juvenile delinquincy through such education. Agents of the Secret Service
will make themselves available for illustrated lectures at the several
institutions. Those Presidents interested should contact the Agency directly.
F.
Science as
a_
Major and Minor Field of Concent ration
The question was raised as to whether a student could take all his
and his electives in the field of science.
It was pointed out
that a student could legally do this but for purposes of placement, this
would be unwise.
It should be the duty of the advisory official to guide
students to broader fields of concentration for placement purposes,

Christmas Vacation

transportation due to the war situation, any change should be made in the
Christmas schedule of the State Teachers Colleges.

The Board decided that
Free Transcripts

Doctor Pratt that the fee of one dollar for additional transcripts shall be
waived in case of requests for transcripts to be used in connection vjith

boards of trustees for their approval and then be presented by the Superintendent of Public Instruction to the Budget Office for final approval.
I.
Summer Session Committee Report
Doctor Chandler, Chairman of the Summer Session Committee,
presented an informal report. He stated that the Committee had studied the
matter of combined summer sessions but in view of the fact that several of
the institutions were presenting various types of defense projects, it would
be unsatisfactory to combine summer sessions at this time.
The Committee recommended that no action be taken by the Board at
this time.
J,
Circular on Teacher Recruitment
Doctor Rovi'land stated that he, in collaboration with Doctor Ellis
and Dean Trabue had prepared a circular on teacher recruitment.

The preliminary discussion concerned the general background 'A'hich
led to the amendment to the School Code permittine^ the State Teachers Colleges
to conduct projects in cooperation v ith irunicipal, federal 9nd other a,t?encies
in the furtherance of national defense Tro^ram.s and activities.
Section 2002.1
was carefully explained so that there could be no misunderstandinf? concerning
the prescribed procedure that must be followed in the case of each project
under consideration.
Discussion follovred concernin':^ the different types of projects in
the field of aviation, both ground and flight, courses for secondary school
"questions
teachers and courses for students and non-students in the college,
concerning the use of actual airplanes for flight purposes yere discussed.
Fodel planes as visual aids and other apparatus rere considered. The question
of payment of money for uniforms out of funds received from Federal sources was
raised. Doctor Stover agreed to ascertain from ashington authorities 'v\hether
such expenditures v ere proper from the moneys paid to the colleges for the
maintenance of the programs.
,
Credit for courses completed was discussed. Doctor Steele made it
clear to the group that as far as students in the colleges and teachers in
service vera concerned, free elect ives in the field of aeronautics or aviation
could be approved in terms of the policy of the Poard of Presidents and that
credit earned through these courses rrif^ht be accepted by any institution in
discharge of graduation requirements. F.e pointed out that such a free elective
must be approved in terms of the accepted policy,
"•uestions of procedure to be followed in the employment of instructional
.,'r.
cClure expressed the judgment that in terms of
services ere discussed.
good fiscal policy costs of instructional services in the Aviation Program
should be kept distinct from, costs of instructional services in the teacher
education programx. It vjas further pointed out that wherever an instructor of
the college v^as rendering services in addition to his regular instructional
service before additional com.pensation could be paid to him due to his participation in the Aviation Program, a request must be approved by the
Executive Board through the office of the Superintendent of public Instruction,
This applies to any portion of the Civilian Pilot Training Pror^ram.
here
persons other than regular instructional staff members are employed to carry
on the Aviation Program, such employes may be designated as Technical Advisors
and they would be compensated at re^rular Governmental rates.
.
'
That the judgment of the p-roup micrht be crystallized, the Chairm,an was
authorized to appoint a committee to draft a recomiriendation for compensation
for teaching Civilian Pilot Training courses in the colleges. The Chairman
appointed 'illiam C. Schuster, G, M. Sullivan, and Harvey A. Andruss, Chairman,
to draft the resolution and to present it at the afternoon meeting.
The Chairman called to the attention of the members of the conference
the chart that had been sent to each institution requesting the types of
projects and the various states of development of each project vith reference
to:
A.
B.
C.
D.

A.V
That the principle of paying salaries commensurate with \
the training ai.d duties of Deans of Instruction is sound,
but in view or the wide variety of practices in effect
at the different
institutions, the committee wishes to
make a more comprehensive study of the general salary
situation before suggesting any specific recommendations
with respect to salary changes for this |)articular kind
of service.

Admission Requirements - Equivalent Preparation
E.
Question was raised as to whether the policy indicated in the
mimeographed letter of the Superintendent of Public Instruction under
date of December 23, 1942 with reference to high school equivalent
education applied to the State Teachers Colleges. In other words, may
the State Teachers Colleges admit high school seniors who have completed
three and one half years of preparation in accord with the policy set
forth in the circular letter of December 23, 1942 by the Superintendent
of Public Instruction to County and District Superintendents, Supervising
and High School Principals and Heads of Educational Institutions.
The answer to the inquiry was that the policy applies to the
State Teachers Colleges as "rell as other institutions of higher learning.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION
HARRISBURG

December 23, 1942
To County and District Superintendents, Supervising and
High School Principals and Heads of Educational Institutions:
In my letter of January 28, 1942 I expressed the judgment that "the
best immediate contribution that youth can make to national defense is to
remain in school to complete the work now being done," While retaining this
conviction, we are, nevertheless, faced by the urgent manpower need including
the provisions for extending selective service to include many sturlents who
In this connection your special
are of college and secondary school age.
attention is called to "High School Male Students and Selective Service,"
(Misc. 3018), issued in December, 1942, by the United States Office of
Education,
j
'
i
I
i
Therefore, the purpose of this letter is to present a statement of
policy concerning the status of seconday school students (l) inducted
into the armed forces or (2) recommended
the responsible secondary
school officials for entrance to professional schools and other institutions of higher education prior to actual completion of the requirements
now recognized by the Department of Public Instruction for secondary
school graduation. This policy is retroactive to the beginning of the
school year 1942-43,
STUDENTS INDUCTED INTO THE AmtED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES-^ A student
inducted into any branch of the armed forces of the United States prior to
graduation from a secondary school may be graduated as follows:
I.
i
,
1
I
1- The discontinuance from school shall be by virtue of induction into
the armed forces either by enlistment or through operation of the
Selective Service Act,
I
!
2- The student at the time of induction shall be regularly enrolled in
the secondary school from which he will be graduated, and his transfer
from school to service shall be immediate.
3-The student at the time of induction shall have completed at least
all but the last half year of a standard secondary school course,
and shall be in such standing that if he were to complete the final
half year of work he could be graduated under the usual rules and
regulations pertaining to graduation,
4- The school record of the student shall designate specifically the
work actually done in school to the date of induction; and, in
addition, shall specify the date of induction and the service
entered, A short period of absence from school for military
service may be administered according to the usual local rules
and regulations for short or temporary absence from school for
other causes,

II.
STUDEOTS ENTERING PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS OF
HIGHER EDUCATION
To the extent to which the Department of Public
Instruction if authorized by law to determine the equivalent of four
years of secondary school preparation for admission to professional
schools and other Institutions of higher education, or for admission
to examination for licensure or registration in any profession, the
equivalent of secondary school graduation will be met by fulfilling
the following requirements:
—
1- Successful completion of all but the last half year of a
standary secondary school course,
2-Recomraendation by the responsi«ble school officials, including
the faculty, to the professional school or other institution
of higher education,
3-Acceptance by the professional school or other institution of
higher education,
4- Succes8ful completion of not less than one year of worV in
the professional school or other institution of higher education and certification of this fact to the secondary
school last attended,
III.
ADDITIONAL METHODS OF SATISFYING REQUIREMENTS FOR SECONDARY SCHOOL
GRADUATION
Secondary school credit may also be secured as followst
—
1-Credit secured in a regularly organized school or class
approved for secondary education by the Department of
Public Instruction.
2- Credit secured through examinations periodically conducted
by the Department of Public Instruction.
3- Credit secured through the eval-uation of courses officially
provided for inductees.
Under any of the foregoing conditions the school record of each
student should designate specifically the work which has been completed and
each such student, when eligible, shall be given a certificate showing that
he has attained graduation status.
Nothing included in this statement of policy is intended to ignore
the fact that it is always possible for talented students to complete the
regular and entire program of secondary education in less than the normal
number of semesters*
Every secondary school student planning to enter college is urged
to communicate immediately with the college selected in order to learn the
specific requirements for admission*

BUDGET
CO!\/^/ITTEE
March 19, 1943
1.
A study of the salaries received by the Deans of Instruction shows
considerable variation in the amounts paid at the different State
Teachers Colleges.
2.
All salaries, however, are paid in conformance to the basic provisions
of the State Salary Schedule, the actual am^ounts paid being determined
primarily by considerations of local administrative policy,
3.
Total annual salaries represent the sum. of amount paid for services
rendered during the regular academic year, the pre-session, the
regular summer session, and the post session. No provision is made
for the compensation of deans during that part of the year during
which the college is not in session.
.-:160.T-.

4.
recomended that Deans of Instruction be employed twelve months
each year and that the follow;ing plan for the determination of
salaries be adopted?
It is
That the total salary for each fiscal year (12 months
period) be based in general d)n the total compensation
received during the last comparable period, ^'/here
salary increases established by executive order prevail,
this factor may be «iven additional consideration in
computing such total.
That the President of each institution be requested to
calculate such adjustments, within the framework of
the State Salary Schedule, as m_ay cover any unique case
demanding special consideration, such adjustments to
modify in part the aforesaid policy.
That the amount of salary to be paid each Dean of
Instruction be referred to the Department of Public
Instruction for approval. If approved, the President
of each college shall thereupon submit this recommendation to the Board of Trustees for consideration and
action.

American Council on Education Program for Credit for Military
Experience
A pamphlet entitled "Sound Educational Credit for Military
Experience - A Recommended Program" was issued in February 1943, by the
American Council on Education and recently distributed.
The Committee recommends a careful study of this Joint effort of
the American Council on Education and the sub-committee on Education of the
Joint Army and Navy Committee on ''/elf are and Recreation to avoid "the evils
of unsound blanke t ac.r 30.ita-tions which followed the last war" and to
provide for the use of cclleg.es and universities a far more discriminating
evaluation of the eda.- at :oaoi benefits of military service than was possible
at the close of ohe Ir.st wai.
-1604-
Most of the regional accrediting agencies, and a number of nationa
associations have approved the plan. The American Council on Education
suggests the follo-ving course of action for .American schools and colleges:
Schools and colleges individually and through representative
regional and other associations should go publicly on record as
soon as possible (if they have not already done so):
1,
a.
b.
As opposinrr indiscriminate blanket credit for
military experiences; and
As approvinpr the tentative program and procedures for
discriminating recognition and measurement of educational
competence acquired through military experience, as outlined in this pamphlet. It cannot be emphasized too
strongly that there is nothing "automatic"' about this
program.
It vdll become effective only if and xvhen
schools and colleges take individual and collective
action to make it effective.
Copies of such individual or collective action should be
forwarded, as soon as adopted, to the American Council on
Education, 744 Jackson Place, "rashin^Tton, D, C, \-rhere a complete
record and file v/ill be centrally maintained for such use as

the admission and readmission of returning service men (noxv chiefly
casuality cases) so that necessary modifications and adjustments

In cases where the returning service man applies directly
to an institution for admission rather than through the
United States Armed 'R'orces Institute, the institution is
requested to ask the Institute to examine the candidate
and report on him in the same manner as though he had
applied originally through the Institute,
Institutions should inform students and the parents of students
vAio are leaving? to enter m^ilitary service, not only of the
opportunities for continuing education offered throu(?h the Institute,
but also of the plans to measure and grant credit for any increased
educational competence, however acquired during service, upon the
student* s return to school or college, and thus preserve an
educational continuity v/hich might otherwise be lost,
4,
Institutions should make preparations to set up appropriate
5,
procedures and train personnel to cope with special adjustment
problems of a physical, social or psychological nature which are
likely to arise in connection xvith the return of service m.en to
educational life. Although these are not, strictly speaking, a
part of accreditation, they are phases of the wider problem of
postwar educational read justm.ent 7;hich loom^s increasingly larger
vrlth every passing day.
Education cannot prepare too soon to
meet this problem in all its aspects.
-16C5-
The committee believes that it is desirable for the teachers
colleges to approve the plan and participate in it. It is recommended,
however, that formal action be deferred until the next meeting of the
Board to permit all m.embers of the Poard to study the pro.cram.

Easter Vacation
Doctor Uhler raised the question as to ivhether it would be
possible, in view of growing shortages in transportaion, food, et cetera,
to shorten the Easter vacation for the present school year and thus have
an earlier Commencem.ent
It was decided that no change could be made in
the calendar for the present year because catalogues have been printed.
On motion of Doctor Uhler, seconded by Doctor Steele, the Board voted
that the question of modifying the calendar for 1944 xvith respect to
vacations be studied by the Calendar Committee and a subsequent report be
made to the Board, Doctor Rbhrbach urged the m.em.bers of the "^oard to send
him their suggestions as soon as possible to enable his committee to

college dining rooms, et cetera, it was m.oved by Doctor Parsons and
seconded by Doctor Tanger that for the duration students in fjood standing
in the State Teachers Colleges be permitted to work such number of hours
as, in the judgment of the President, seems expedient.

Re:
Changes in Curriculums to include History of the United States and

Committee, distributed a preliminary report. He asked that the m.embers
of the Board give careful consideration to all the implications of the
proposed changes and that the members of the college faculties be given
an opportunity to study the report.

Mr, Andruss raised the question of rearranging the calendar in
order to permit the colleges to maintain the Navy-V-12 Program, which
provides for the training of young men at certain colleges for one, U70
or three years. The Navy Program fits into the regular college program
in the matter of courses, et cetera, but it is arranged on a tri-semester
basis. The Calendar Committee was asked to "jork out some sgtisfactory
arrangement by ;i/hich individual colleges could combine their regular
college schedule with the Navy Program, The Chairman of the Calendar
Committee agreed to work out a plsn with Mr, Andruss which would suit
the needs of his institution and which would serve as the basis for
schedules for other institutions should they adopt the Navy Program
at any time.

For purposes of clarif icet ion, the Chairman of the Board stated
that there has been no change in the policy regarding service areas.
Previous action of the Board of Presidents established certain definite
service area limitations for regular college offerings and set up
mutually agreeable service areas for special fields. Since there has
been no change in this policy, the policy must be adhered to by all
the institutions,
D.
Reprints of Core Material

Exhibit "C"
To Presidents of Colleges and Universities, County and District
Superintendents, Supervising and High School Principals:
j
j
i
The data which we have received from county and district superintendents and from colleges indicate that the supply of teachers vsill
not meet the demand for teachers this September. This will be due in
part to wartime ctivities and the entrance of large numbersof teachers
into the military service. The situation is accentuated by the fact
that the supply from which students have been recruited is diminishing.
There are fewer senior high school students, practically no young men,
entering teacher educati n institutions or colleges preparing teachers.
,
|
^
j
I
A bulletin for recruiting purposes has been published by the
Department of Public Instruction under the cooperative sponsorship of
the Pennsylvania V?artime Committee on Teacher Education, the Association
of College Presidents of Pennsylvania, and the Board oi Teachers College
Presidents. A supply of Bulletin No. 160 will be mailed under separate
cover to Presidents of colleges and universities and to high school
principals, arid one copy of the bulletin will be forwarded to each county
and district superintendent and supervising principal for his information.
The shortage of teachers will become more acute in the next few
years. To meet this situation, the suggestion is made that someone from
your staff, during the next two weeks, meet with your student bodyj or
at least the junior and senior classes, and point out to the students the
many typesof opportunities available in the teaching service.
Bulletin No. 160,
"Enlist in the Forces of Education", contains
material that Viill be helpful in presenting the subject "Teaching as a
Career" to the student body. Through this cooperative effort young men
and women of character and competence may be guided to the teaching
profession and thus a serious shortage of properly ualiiied teachers
in the next few years may be avoided.

Nature of the Testing Program
In cooTDeration with other colleges and universities throughout
the nation, the fourteen teachers colleges of Pennsylvania administered the National College Sophomore Tests published by
the Cooperative Test Service under the direction of the Testing
Committee of the Board of Presidents.
Tests administered included the Cooperative English Test containing sub-tests on Mechanics of Expression, Effectiveness of
Expression, and Reading Comprehension; the Cooperative General
Culture Test containing sub-tests in current social problems,
history, literature, fine arts, science and mathematics; and
the Contemporary Affairs Test including political events, social
and economic events, science and medicine, literature, fine arts
and amusements*
Purposes of the Tests
The general purpose of the tests is to provide colleges means of
evaluating knowledges, abilities and interests which are representative of the student's academic and cultural backgrounds.
2*
Tests are given at the end of the Sophomore year since this
marks the main period of the student's general education in
most colleges and since subsequent study is likely to involve
In the Teachers
some degree of subject-matter specialization.
Colleges of Pennsylvania, considerable specialization is introduced during the Freshman and Sophomore years in some curricula and hence less time is devoted to those educational experiences considered to be "general",
3,
Values which may be gained through this testing program include
(l) a measurement of the individual student's general educa/tional achievement, (2) providing information for the student's
self-appraisal of his interests, sqotitudes, and abilities with
a view toward guiding him in planning subsequent endeavors and
enhancing his personal satisfaction and worth, and (3) providing information which will assist the college in making an institutional self -appraisal and thus assist it in increasing its
effectiveness.

Administration and Scoring of the Tests
Tests were administered in the several Teachers Colleges on
March 23, 24, and 26, 1943.
2,
The administration and scoring of the tests was directed by
the following representatives of the following Institutions:
C, F, Becker, Clarion; S. M. Neagley, California; Ralph S,
Beard, Indiana; 0. C. Wrigley, Slippery Rock; M. S. Hiskey,
Edinboro; Jonas T, May, East Stroudshurg; Edna S. Botdorf,
Lock Haven; Clark R, McClelland, Kutztown; Earl F. Sykes,
West Chester; Earl Wright, Shlppenshurg; Dean Butcher, Mlllersvllle; John J. Fisher, Bloomshurg; James C, Williamson, Cheyney;
and James G, Morgan, Mansfield,
3*
Tests were scored and tabulated by the individual institutloria
and the results forwarded to the Department of Public Instruction. Tests were machine- scored with the able assistance of
Dean Dutcher, Mlllersville, John J. Fisher, Blnomsburg and
Tabulated scores were prepared
Raymond Brunner, Shlppensburg.
by each institution and forwarded to the Testing Committee for
the preparation of results.
4#
A meeting of representatives of all the teachers colleges was
held at the Department of Public Instruction on April 30, 1943
for the discussion of the Preliminary Report*

Measures Used
Since national norms are provided by the Cooperative Test
Bureau In terms of percentiles, the median, Q,^, Q^*
range and the number of cases have been given for each of
the tests administered, English, General Culture and Contemporary Affairs, for each of the several curricula as
well as for students in all curricula,
In each of the Tables presented the state and national norms
are indicated to provide comparisons by curricula and
col-
leges.
3»

Median scores were calculated by the Garrett Method, (1926)
Test Data
Table I offers a comparison of results obtained by students
In various curricula In all of the teswihers colleges In each
of the three tests administered.
2,
Table II sets forth the scores obtained by students in all
curricula in each of the fourteen state teachers colleges.
Since the types of curricula offered vary from one Institution to another this factor may materially affect the results
obtai ned.
3,
Perhaps a better comparison of the results obtained in each
institution may be found in Table III and IV in which scores

are given for each college for students enrolled in the elemen—
Since most of the work comtary and seci^ndary departments.
pleted during the first two years in these departments is similar in all institutions resiilts in these fields can best he
compared. However, it should be recognized that these results
cannot be interpreted as a measure of the effectiveness of institutions but reflect also student capacity, bacirground, and
other factors for which no comparative data are available.
These two depertments can best be compared with the national
norms since a larger percentage of the coxirses of study provided experiences in the more general fields.
4,
In Tables V to IX inclusive are given median scores obtained by
students in Business, Health, Homemaking, Music and Art Curricula, No data are included for the Library and Industrial Arts
curricula since distributions were filed by only two schools in
each case and since the number of students enrolled is small,
5«
Table X provides tentative norms supplied by the Cooperative
Test Service for sub-tests and for the totals of each of the
three tests administered. This may be used in interpreting
individual scores made by pupils on individual tests. A final
statement of norms may be obtained from the Cooperative Test
Service direct at the later date.
6,
After the heading of each of tables I to IX inclusive will be
found in parentheses the tentative national median score based
on results obtained by 4497 students in 77 colleges.

were found to be above the national norm and others below,
Students in the Music, Elementary, Health, Business and

General Interpretations
D,
1,
2«
3,
4,
5,
In general, students enrolled In the curricula in which the
first two years are spent In e;eneral education compare
favorable with national standards.
Students enrolled in special ciirrlcula compare unfavorably with national standards,
Results should be interpreted only with a knowledge of
the student's ability, preparation, cultural background
and his educational e^qjerience,
National norms represent the average achievement of all
students and should not necessarily be considered as the
standard sought by all students,
Reading ability may affect the scores on all other tests
and should be considered in evaluating the scores received on all tests.

I
Implications of Tests Hesnlts
IV,
On Admissions
A*
1,
Test results should be analyzed to determine possible improvement in the admissions program,
2,
Secondary schools in the area may he advised of common weaknesses which are attributed to high school preparation,
3,
A study of the correlation between success on the General
Cxilture Test and the recommendations macle by the High School
Principals should prove valuable.
On 0\irriculum Construction. Revision and Enrichment
B,
1.
Significant differences in achievement of pupils in the various curricula would appear to warrent a studr of the adequacy
of offerings in "general education" in the special fields.
2,
Results for each college may be analyzed to determine apparent
strengths and weaknesses in each department,
On Personnel Practices
C,
1,
Parts of the English test devoted to reading should be utilized
in interpreting needs of individual students.
2,
A discussion of the test results with each individual should
make him aware of his own needs.
3,
Advisers should make use of the test results in academic,
social and personal counselling of students,
4,
Majority opinion seems to favor the inclusion of college and
state norms in student counselling,
On Instructional Procedures
D,
1,
Copies of tests should be distributed to Department Heads for
checking validity of the test in stibject fields.
2,
A remedial program, particularly in the field of reading, may
Special classes for those deficient in English
be utilized.
expression may prove helpful,
3,
Results continue to indicate a need for more emphasis in the
Teachers Colleges on Cont emporary Affairs. Stressing contemporary affairs in all classes should make students better
acquainted with current problems.
-14-
I
Lifflitatlons of the Testing Program
V,
Limiting Factors
A.
1,
The validity of the Contemporary Affairs Test has been questioned
by several of the test representatives,
2#
Variability in curricula makes it difficult to compare achievement of the total gromi. The comparison by curricular groups
appears to be more valid,
3,
Results of the tests indicate that a change in proportion of
men and women in the group will affect the scores disproportionately and should be recoi^ized in making comparisons,
4,
Since these tests are concerned chiefly with measures of general
education, norms may be expected to favor students enrolled in
the Liberal Arts Colleges.
5,
The present program presents little opportunity for making direct comparison from year to year.
Suggestions for the 1943-44 Testing Program
VI,
Procedures for Administration
A*
1#
Procedures slmlliar to those utilized this year are suggested
for the 1943-44 program except that the orientation period be
eliminated,
2,
Advice of the Cooperative Test Bureau should be obtained to
determine what students should be included in the Sophomore
Testing Program.

CREDB'TL'kLS COmilTTES
July 17, 1942
Re:
Resolution of North'vYestern Pennsylvania Couiity Superintendents,
January 20, 1942.
The Committee has studied the resolution passed by the County
Superintendents of Northwestern Pennsylvania on January 20, 1942, requesting the issuance of ILmited certificates to students in State Teachers
Colleges at the end of the fourth semester.
After examining reports from various sections of the state, your
Committee believes that th-cj need for teachers does not justify a radical
reduction in the standards of teacher education or certification such as is
implied in the resolution. The Cojnmittee further believes that present
provisions for the issuance of emergency certificates will take care of
shortages for the school year of 1942-1943.
The Committee believes it to be i'l the interest of the children
of the Co]nmonv:ealth to maintain the standard of four years of education
for teachers.
The Committee expresses willingness to set up special arrangements
of courses when need for this is demonstrated, but believes even in such
cases, emergency certification shouJ.d be granted in accordance with
-.1565-

present proceduro.

Revision of the Requirements for Specialiaation in Science - Secondary
CurriculiM
This committee has given careful and prolonged study to the
problems involved in improving the pi'eparation of science teachers. It has
had the assistance of sub-cojiiniittecs on various phases of the problem. It
has had the benefit of reports of nationa.l and state associations and
scientific societies interested in the improvement of science instruction
in the public schools. The comiTiittoe has submitted to each college for study,
criticism, and suggestion tentative reports embodying the essential parts of
the recommendations vjhich follo'«,
Vifar conditions and the needs of the armed forces have demonstrated
the urgency of radical changes in present practice in the preparation of scion
teachers. Therefore, the committee submits the following recommendations:
1,
That specialization iti Physical Science, Biological Science, and Science
now provided shall be discontinued,
2,
That four fields of specialization in science be recognized and offered by
colleges x'viiose equipment and staff permit and where needs of service areas
justify:
a.
b,
Biology
Cheiiiistry
c.
d.
Physics
General Science
3.
That for a first field of specialization not fewer than twenty-four (24)
semester hours of courses as outlined hereinafter shall be roquirc-d and
for a second field of specialization not fev/cr than eighteen (IS)
semester hours,
4.
That General Science be recognized as a separate field of specialization
requiring not f e'lver than thirty (30) semester hours distributed over all
the different fields of science as outlined later in this report.
-1566-
)
5.
That six (6) semester hours in Physical Science and six (6) semester hours
in Biological Science be required of all prospective elementary teachers
and all secondary teachers not specializing in any phase of science,
provided that e>:ceptions may be outlined in special curriculums.
6,
That the following requirements for specialisation in the various fields of
science become effective for students entering college in September, 19A-2.
A. Biology
1.
Instead of Biological Science I and II, students spocia-lizinf; in
biology shall take either Botany I and II or Zoolog;.' I and II.
2.
Instead of Physical Science I and II, students specializing in biology
shall take Chemist it I and II.
3.
For a first field of specialization the recommended courses listed below
shall bo completed and not fev/cr than tv.'elve (12) semester hours chosen
from the elective courses. If biology is the second field of specialization, the recommended courses should be completed and not fewer than six
(6) semester hours from the list of elective courses.

Certification Reqijiirements in Science
Since the present certification requirements in science do not
guarantee adcGuato preparation for the fields taught and since any effort
to raise standards of ccrnpetence must jjievitably depend upon the requirements
for certification, this committee reconmcnds that the Bo^-rd of Presidents
respectfully request the Superintendent of Public Instruction to urge the
State Council of Education to consider the followin/r proposals affecting
certification in science.
1.
That certification iii the entire fj.eld of Biological Science, the entire
field of Physical Science and in the entire field of Science on the present
basis of eighteen (IS) semester hours of approved preparation be discoriti-iued.
2.
That certification be provided for Biolog;/, Chendstry, and Physics each on
the presentation of not fewer than eighteen (IS) semester hours of
approved preparation,
3.
That certification in General Science be authorized on the presentation
of a minimum of thirty (30) semester hoiars of approved preparation in
scientific fields including courses in: Chemistry, physics. Botany,
Earth Science and Llat hematics.
The corairiittee believes that effective teaching of General Science
requires an acciuaintance mth so many fields that it is impossible to
secure adequate preparation in the minimum requirement of eighteen
semester hours.

REPORT OF THE CURRICIJUR AMD CREDEt^TBLS COI/MITTEE
July 17, I9/+2
Re: Preparation of Teachers of Aeronautics
The committee recognizes the fact that the air age into which the
world is nov; emerging mil affect profoundly all phases of social, economic,
and political life, national and international. It is obvious, therefore,
that the public schools must be prepared to furnish youth the knowledge and
experiences that will best fit them to adapt themselves to the new conditions
imposed, and to prepare them to assume the responsibilities and accept the
opportunities and leadership v\rhich com.e to thom vath the conquest of a
medium of transportation »vhich vdll make the v/hole world one neighborhood.
The committee recommends:
1.
That each teachers college faculty be requested to study the implications
of the air age.
There shouJ.d be a re-exanination of the content of all
courses which lend themselves to the conditioning of future teachers, to
the impacts of the air age, and to an awareness of the necessity of
controlling its development and directing- it to^'vard the security and
welfare of all races and all peoples.
2.
That the Board of Presidents authorize a field of specialization in
aeronautics in the secondary curriculim and request the State
Superintendent to designate such institutions as in his judgment have
proper facilities and have demonstrated or shall demonstrate ability
to provide proper training in aviation or aeronautics to experiment
mth the preparation of teachers of aeronautics.
3.
That this committee be authorized to set up the courses on the same
basis of first and second fields of specialization as has been done
for other elective fields in the secondary curriculum,
4.
That preceding the organization of courses in this area credit shall
be given towards future certification for all courses in aviation or
aeronautics approved as free electives on the basis of the procedures
now in effect.

This acknowledges your memorandum of September 15 relating
to ^'"ar dam^age insurance.
This matter vas discussed Friday,
Septem.ber 18, 1942 at the m.eeting of the Board of Presidents.
In their opinion is it not advisable at this tim.e to consider
purchasing such insurance for the folllvlng reasons:
1. The
1941-43 budget m.akes no provision for this item.
2. The decline in enrollmient for the coming semester is
seriously reducing local income,
3.
E,
The State Insurance Fund (Section 24C2h of the Administrative
Code) apparently is intended to cover institutions a^iainst
the hazard involved,

This arrangem^ent has been in operation for sor.ie tim.e but difficulties and delays have arisen concerning your purchase requests because
there is no one in Harrisburg in close enough touch V'ith each institution's
particular problem^s or vith a sufficient background of information to properly
evaluate and build up a case for each particular request. An attem.pt had been

Priority Officer specific answers to 21 questions in support of each request
for a priority ratin*?.

Mr. Frank R. Fish of the School Plant Division of tbis Department
will assist the Priority Officer in assembling the facts in support of all

Dr. Henry Klonov?er, Director of Teacher Education and Certification,
opened the meeting iftith introductory remarks. He stated that the annual meeting
of the Deans was too important to omit because of war conditions.
It is of
value to each of the Deans but it is also valuable to the Department. It is
particularly valuable today because of the meeting at 11:00 A.M. with the Testing
Committee of the State Teachers Colleges. He discussed the problems of supply
and demand of teachers as it affects the work of a Dean. He further expressed
his appreciation of the cooperation of the Deans in coming to the meeting.
Dr. Harry L. Kriner, Assistant Director of Teacher Education and Certification, then took charge of the meeting as Chairman, and welcomed the Deans

The topics on the Docket were then discussed as follows:
A.
PROBLEMS IN CONNECTION
VilTH
THE WAR
1.
In granting credit for partly completed courses for persons going
into the armed forces, it was the concensus of opinion that poor students might
be inclined to enlist if they could receive credit for incomplete work. Several
of the colleges have a plan whereby an examination may be given in lieu of work
uncompleted for full credit. This is a problem which should be placed on the
basis of the quality of ork completed by each individual student. It v/as
agreed th-vt this was an individual problem as far as the student and theinstitution is concerned. The average credit given to college students is one credit
per each v/eek of college attendance. It was felt th t full credit might be given
in skill subjects where a certain proficiency is required and attained and no
credit in subjects where competency could not be demonstrated. The Deans felt
that no student should be given credit for work that was not done. The colleges
will be in a better position after the war if we have substantial r. cords vvhich
can easily be understood. The three points gathered from this discussion were as
follows:
1.
2.
3.
Granting of Credit is an individual problem so far
as the student and the college is concerned.
The regulation of allowing one credit per week of
attendance should be adhered to rather closely.
The report should be so recorded that it might be
considered a closed case in order that it can be
picked up by any one, eitner in the institution
or another college, after the war is over.
2.
A discussion was given to the scheduling of work in civilian
pilot training courses and the problsms involved were found to be largely concerned with individual institutions. Dean Beiges felt th t those who took the
civilian pilot training courses earned the four credits which may be given to
the student, either as free electives or in the field of mathematics and in
science. Wherever credit is permitted in an elective fielf, it 7«as thought
advisable for the credit to be in keeping with the regulations for graduation
and certification and should be determined by the Dean with the help of the
head of the department concerned.
Extension classes were well attended last year, but because of the
gasoline and tire rationing, the problem of organizing a program to meet the
demands of teachers-in-service is confusing. Dr. Jaarsma suggested that each
college make a survey of the extension and part-time campus classes, as demanded
by the teachers in the area. Then the program which will meet the greatest
demand and can be handled under present regulations should be offered either on
or off the campus, according to the results found in the survey. The Deans
agreed with Dr. North when he stated that the extension centers should be kept
alive if possible or otheiwise they might be taken over by other colleges.
3.
In beginning the discussion of demand for teachers and recruiting
4..
of students to maintain a reasonable su ply, it was pointed out that there was a
shortage in certain sections hile other sections and districts have an over
It was further pointed out that
supply, especially of certain types of teachers.
the Deans shoiold know the fields and the districts in whicy the supply was not
equal to the demand. No doubt, the Deans have a duty in encouraging gradu tes
-2-
to accept positions in those districts in vyhich there is a demand for their
services.
The Deans were also asked to use their influence in having Superintendents
fill their vacancies where possible -.vith teachers having the higher type of certificates, rather than to hc.ve them filled i^ith holders ox" an old partial elementary certificate or some type of certificate vyhich indicates a low level of
preparation. It was pointed out that it would be advantageous for the boys and
girls of the Commonwealth, as well as for the colleges for the Deans to encourage
all te chers who because of the emergency are re-entering the profession to take
refresher courses and to work toward the completion of a degree curriculum v.here
such is not already a fact.
The use of the elementary temporary standard certificate was explained.
Teaching on this certificate cannot be used as part of the three years experience
needed to make a college certificate permement. If a college certificate valid in
the secondary field has been extended to include the elementary field, the three
years of teaching experience on the college certificate in the elementary field
would count toward making the certificate permanent. In order to use a teacher
on the basis of the elementary temporary standard certificate, evidence must be
given that there is no qualified elementary teacher available for the vacancy
and the certificate must be requested by the superintendent of schools and must
be for one specific position. The certificate is not issued to anyone and everyone holding a college certificate valid in the secondary field.
College morale is a major problem resulting from the war. Immediately
$.
after the Pesrl ?Iarbot incident, college morale became low and the student attitude
was one of "what's the use." The result was, naturally, low grades and an increase
in failures. However, with the second semester last year and the present summer
session the attitude has been completely reversed. The trend now seems to be that
"we h;.ve a job to do and we must get the most out of college while we can."
It was
agreed that the Deans should do all possible to keep the morale of the faculty and
students on a high level. In the organization of classes and the scheduling of
students, this factor should be kept in mind. Dr. Jaarsma suggested that the morale
was helped by making use of an accelerated program and by tne absorption of surplus
faculty members into the armed forces.
MEETING WITH
TESTING
COfjftilTTEE
The meeting of the Deans of Instriction .^djourned and the Deans went to
Room 321 where the Testing Committee had been finishing their work on the Sophomore
At this meeting the various
Tests which had been given in the college last spring.
graphs prepared from the results of the tests were distributed. There was a general
discussion on the use which could be made of these graphs and the results of the
tests. The Deans had a number of questions answered concerning the construction of
the graphs and the meaning of them.
It was the concensus of opinion that the
results of these tests would be helpful to the Deans in the administration of their
work.

CUHRICULDM AMD INSTRUCTION
Typed sheets of the program of courses for the elementary cnrricni!•
and the explanation of specialization and electives were passed out to the
Deans. Under the new curriculum It is not necessary f or a student to specialize
The grades in which

student teaching was completed and grades for which curriculxim materials were made
applicable should be indicated on the Approved Education Certificates used in
applying for a college certificate. Unless the student teaching and. the curriculum materials were completed for grades below the fourth. Early Childhood Education may not be placed on the certificate as a field of specialization. Likewise
the experience shall be in grades four, five, and six to have specialization in the
Intermediate grades. Every student may be certified in just the elementary field.
Beginning next year the action of the Board of Presidents in this connection as
far as certification is concerned will be followed. If no notation ©f the field
of specialization appears on the transcript, the student will be certificated in
elementary subjects. Dr. North asked whether it was better to specialize or just
give work in the elementary field. The majority of the Deans were of the opinion
that specialization was not the best, since a broader area is necessary In the
schools where the students must find a position and often specialization operated
against an E^plicant.
l\im
In checking the recent revisions in all curficulums, the Deans were
2#
urged to make sure that graduates have all subjects which are required by State
Council action. According to the action of the Board of Presidents, it is the
obligation of each college to see that the requirements are met. Each graduate
should complete three hours in Introduction to Teaching (Place and Purpose).
Educational Psychology after completing General Psychology—three semester hours,
and six hours of student teaching, and six hours of appropriate education. In
addition to these provisions American Government and Visual Education shall be
given in each curriculum according to action of the Board of Presidents.
Concerning the proposed regiialtions for Science, nothing official coiild
be said because the action of the Board of Presidents on these had not been signed
by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, The Deans were urged to read the
minutes of the meeting of the Board of Presidents when they are released relative
They were also urged to carefully read the curriculum
to the revisions in Science,
revisions in Health and Physical Education for the elementary and secondary fields.
If approved, these provisions will become effective September 1942, and are compulsory for freshman this fall. It was thought that all curriculvim changes should
be put into effect as quickly as possible to avoid duplicating programs. The
Deans were cautioned not to confuse the term ""general science" in the proposed
revision with the certification term "science,"
The Discussion then turned to values in t erms of semester hours for
old normal school courses given prior to 1920 when credit was not attached to
courses. The credit should be determined by the length of time spent in the class
In all cases the total amount of credit given should

approximate one semester hour for each week in attendance. It was agreed that the
credit given shoiild be in terms of competency and the remaining credits required
should be in terms of deficiencies. A committee five years ago prepared some suggestions for the evaluation of credentials toward college graduation which the
Deans agreed had been valuable but is now out of date. The Deans felt that this
information should be brought up to date and, therefore. Dr. Kriner appointed the
following committee to revise the "Evaluation Report." Dean Menhennett of West
3.
-4-
Chester, Dean Naegle of East Stroudsburg, and Desn Wrignt of Shippensburg were asked
to help Dean McClelland of Kutztown to revise the old report, bringing it up to date.
Where evaluations are made for students who are not graduates of an
approved four-year high school, all credentials should be submitted to the office
of Teacher Education and Certification on official transcripts. These credits are
arranged for the Office of Pre-Professional Credentials to check for the high echooi
equivalent certificate and the report is sent by the Office of Teacher Education and
Certification to the Dean who submitted the credentiel-s.
The variation and uniformity in credit value attached to approved
4..
courses was next discussed. It was agreed that the amount of credit attached to a
course could only be in terms of the action of the Board of Teacher College Presidents or through the approval by the Superintendent of Public Instruction for a free
elective. The variation in credit has boen brought about by change in curpiculums
from time to time. Courses, however, shall be scheduled in keeping with the latest
revisions of the Board of Teacher College Presidents.
The requirements of Section 1607 of the School Laws of Pennsylvania
5.
were then discussed. During the past few years the elementary degree curriculums
offered in various teacher educational institutions hf;ve been reviewed. It is
essential that the courses in elementary degree curriculums cover the subjects
required in the elementary schools under Section 1607 of the School Laws of Pennsylvania. It was agreed that the Deans have an obligation to make sure that this
material is being included in the approved elementary curriculuci.
DEFENSE PROJECTS
At this point Doctor Klonower asked the Deans to see that the report on
defense projects sent to their colleges recently would be returned to the Office of
Teacher Education and Certification by the following Monday. He also urged the
Deans to read carefully Section 2002.1 of the School Laws of Pennsylvania. At this
time he introduced Dr. George Franklin Stover who was recently appointed as consultant to War-time Education Committees. Dr. Stover sought the advice of the Deans
in the construction of a letter to be sent out to Superintendents and Directors of
Summer Sessions, concerning the preparation of teachers for aviation as offered in
secondary schools.
The next item on the docket was centered aroimd the testing program.
It was the opinion of the group that the testing program could be of little value
to an institution unless the Dean was familiar with the program -nd was instrumental
in its use.
It was felt that the testing program must be so organized that the Dean
can through this improve the product of the teacher college. The implementing of the
testing program is a task for the Dean.
6.
C.
OfiGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION
1.
In meeting the increased demand for transcripts there are several
possibilities. California State Teachers College is planning the use of blueprints and Bloomsburg State Teachers College is tentatively planning the use of
photostatic copies. The Deans felt that the essential factor in transcripts was
accuracy, not only accuracy in copying but accuracy in interpretation.
2.
In submitting and filling out application blanks, the Dean's signature should be on the front of the sheet.
It is essential that a notation is made
on the transcript to the effect that the student has been graduated from a four-
-5-
year school giving its location, and that a statement indicates that the original
copy of tne high school credits is on file in the college office. In subinittinK the
transcripts for a certificate in trie secondary field tne new bl .nk provides for the
listed separately. If, however, the transcripts are submitted
teaching fields to
on the Approved Education Cert ficate, the field of concentration should ba set
asids separately as elective fields and tirie core subjects in the sasae fields numbered
according to the field of concentr,.tion. It was found that some institutions have
the core subjects in the secondary field mimeographed. ^Vhere this is the case errors
in certification would be averted if a (1) would be placed in front of all core
subjects which may be used in the first field of concentration, and a (2) in front of
those core subjects which could be used in the second field of concentration. In
other words, if English is the first field of concentration the various electives in
English would appear together below the mimeographed core curriculum and a (1) should
appear before the two freshman English courses and the sophomore Literature courses,
as well as before Fundamentals of Speech.
It appeared that the acceler^ited program was causing little difficulty

could be solved by each Dean keeping a record of the student's peculiar and exceptional needs for several years in advance. The schedule could be set up in a way
that a rotation of courses would meet the accumulated demands.
The Deans felt that the proper use of their catalogues was a definite
5.
help in guiding the students in meeting the various requirements set up by the State
and the individual institutions. A specially prepared data sheet which gives the
answers to the many questions asked by the different students has been found to be
very helpful. This mimeographed sheet can be prepared easily without must cost and
can be revised often. These sheets can be made useful for the students enrolled and
for the public which is continually asking questions about certain phases of college
administration and policy. Dr. North felt that it might be quite advantageous for
the Deans to consult the offerings in the Post-Sessions and oUier sessions as sent
to each Dean from the other colleges.
At this point each Dean was thanked for his dontribution to the program
of the day and for his cooperation throughout the year.
The meeting adjourned 3:15 P.M., E.W.T.

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
DEPARTMENT 0? HJBLIC INSTRUCTION
TEACHER EDUCATION AND CERTIFI CATION
Harrlsburg
August 4, 1942
To Covmty and Dlatrlot Superintendents:
The attached tables present data with reference to the "Profess! ooal Status
of Teachers in the Public Schools of the Commonwealth aa of November 1, 1941''* niesa
tables have bean developed from information submitted to the Department of Public
Instruction on the Applications for Appropriations. This particular study comes at
the end of a twenty-two year period since it has been the custom to refer to the year
1920-21 as the beginning of the Teacher Education program follov7lng the adoption of the
certification regiilations at that time. Both the certification regulations and the
Teacher -Education prof:ram have been in a state of continuous growth and deTSlopoent
during the two decades. The results of the effectiveness of the program are indicated
in the improved professional status of teachers In all school districts of the Ooninonwealtll*
During the past twenty-two years, steady gains have been made in every school district
of the State in the matter of providing the boys and girls in the public schools with
teachers who have completed four years of post secondary education for teaching. Tb9
record indicates that 51.6 par cent of all the teachers employed in the Commonwealth are
graduates of approved Institutions of hl^er learning and that these teachers hove oonpleted
an approved four year curriculum leading to a baccalaureate degree.
Since approximately 100.0 per cent of the 62,423 teachers now employed In the
public schools have completed two years or more of post secondary education, attention le
no longer directed to these figures. Most school districts have accepted the i^e&eral
standard for teacher education in the elementary field as four years of post secondary
education. Attention is called to the fact that in 1920-21 only 70.5 per cent of the
teaching force had standard certificates representing two years of post secondary education
as coT-pared with approximately 100.0 per cent for the school year 1941-42. A large
percentage of the number of teachers irtio have leas than four years of post secondary
education are continuing their education in institutions of higher learning* It is only
a matter of time when most of the teachers in this group will have completed the more
extended education and thus further increase the percentage of college graduates In the
public schools.
The tables indicate the percentage of teachers who have completed four years of
college education in 1920-21 as compared with the number in 1941-42. The data shows that
substantial progress has been made by all the school districts during the past twenty-two
years in the employment in the public schools of the Commonwealth of teachers who have
completed four years of college education. From the school year 1920-21 to the school
year 1941-42, a period of twenty-tv/o years, there has bean a gain of 43.9 per cent in the
number of teachers who have had the more extended education. For the year 1941-42, of
the 62,423 teachers, a total of 51.6 per cent are college graduates as compared with
7,7 per cent in 1920-21.
The substantial and consistent increase In the number of teachers with more
extended education is indicated by the figures for the State as a whole \mder "Grand Total".
In first class school districts, 47.1 per cent are collere graduates; in second class school
districts, 58.0 per cert of the teachers are college graduates; in third class school
districts, 59.7 per cenc of the teachers are college c^raduates; and in fourth class school
districts and those third class school districts under the supervision of the county
superintendent, 47.7 per cent are college rraduates. This latter figure is particularly
interesting for it means that there has been a consistent and steady increase In the
number of college graduates in the rural areas and that of the 29,602 teachers supervised
by county superintendents, aijproxlmately 50.0 per cent, (47,7 per cent), of thao are
college graduates.
In view of the present emergency situation, these firurss are encouraging. They
present a satisfactory T)lcture of the substantial improvement of the teaching service in
the public schools of the Commonwealth.

STATE TEACHERS COLLEGES
SEPTEMBER 18, 1942
A Report of the National
College Sophomore Testing Program.
A Report of the National
Sophomore Testing Program Administered in
the State Teachers Colleges
of
Pennsylvania
T he Testing Program
Nature of the Testing Program.
A,
1.
In cooperation with other colleges and universities throughout
the nation, the fourteen teachers colleges of Pennsylvania administered the National Sophomore Tests Published by the Cooperative Test Service under the direction of the Board of Presidents through the Testing Committee.
2,
Tests administered included the Cooperative English Test containing suh-tests on Mechanics of Expression, Effectiveness of
Expression, and Reading Comprehension; the Cooperative General
Culture Test containing suh-tests in current social problems,
history, literature, fine arts, science and mathematics; ajid the
Cooperative Contemporary Affairs Test including political events
social and economic events, science and medicine, literature,
fine arts and amusements.
Administration and Scoring of the Tests.
B,
1.
Tests were administered in the several Teachers Colleges in
March, 1942.
2.
The administration and scoring of the tests was directed by the
following representatives of the following institutions H, T.
Parsons, Lock Haven; M. S. Hlskey, Edinboro; R. B, Beard, Indiana; C. L. McKelvie, West Chester; C. F. Becker, Clarion;
Dean Dutcher, Millersville; C. R, McClelland, Kutztown; John J.
Pisher, Bloomsburg; Jonas T, May, East Stroudsburg; Arthur AtKinson, Shippens hirg; S. M. Neagley, California; 0. C. Wrigley,
Slippery Rock; Eugene P. Bertin, Mansfield; and James Williamson
Cheyney.
t
3.
Tests were scored and tabulated by the individual institutions
and results forwarded to Dr. E. J, Sullivan, Chief Personnel
Examination Division, Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, Pa.
"
Page 3
4.
With the assistance of R. B. Beard and C. R. McClelland, the
results were tabulated and graphical charts prepared by Doctor
Sullivan and his staff.
Results of the Tests.
C.
1.
Six separate profile charts were prepared showing the results
obtained on English Test A, English Test B, English Test C,
English Test Total, General Culture Test and Contemporary Affairs Test. Statistical data were shown for each test including measures of central tendency in terms of median and mean,
and measures of variability in terms of Q-j^ and Q^, sigma and
the range. Comparisons were shown in terms of percentile scores
for each of the institutions, for the nation, for the Teachers
Colleges as a group, and for students in the Secondary Departments of all Teachers Colleges in the state.
2,
On each chart the wide portion of each bar represents the range
of the scores of the middle half of each group (Q,^ and Q^)
The
narrow parts extend up to /l sigma and down to -1 sigma and include the middle two thirds of the distribution. The dotted
lines extend up to the hi^est score and down to the lowest score
(range).
The short solid line cutting each bar represents the
mean score of each group and the short dotted line the median
score. The three solid horizontal lines drawn across the gr«^h
represent the state mean and - sigma while the three horizontal
dotted lines represent the state median, Q-j^ and Q-^^. These lines
are so drawn to provide facility in comparing results.
.
Purposes of the Tests.
D,
1.
The avowed purpose of the National College Sophomore Testing Program is to "provide colleges with the means of estimating knov/ledges, abilities and interests which are representative of the
student's acadpmic and cultural backgroiinds.
2.
Tests are given at the end of the Sophomore year since this marks
the main period of the student's general education in most colleges and since his subsequent study in likely to involve some

of Pennsylvania, however, considerable specialization in introduced
during this time and hence less time is devoted to those educational
experiences considered to be "general,"
3.
Values which may be gained through this testing program include
(l) a measurement of the individual student's general educational
achievements, (2) providing information for the student's selfappraisal of his interests, aptitudes, and abilities with a view
toward guiding him In planning subsequent indeavors and enhancing
his personal satisfaction and worth, and (s) providing information
Page 4
which will assist the college in making an institutional selfappraisal and thus assist it in increasing its effectiveness.

the possibility of less effective instruction in this department
should be considered.
3.
In this field students appear to be a more homogeneous group than
students in other institutions of collegiate grade. Such results
may point to the lack of recognition of individual differences,
particularly in providing for the more able students.
General Culture Test
1.
On the General Culture Test there is evidence that students in the
Secondary Department rsuik higher than stucients in all other departments of the Teachers Colleges. This result is doubtless due to the
increased emphasis and time spent on general education during the
first two years of the secondary curriculum. Conversely results are
relatively low for students enrolled in specialized curricula probably because more time is spent in specialized study than in general
academic courses.
2.
Results vary in the several sub-tests perhaps in proportion to the
emphasis placed upon them during the first two years in the various

can be attributed to the required courses for all students in all
curricula in this field.
3.
Careful study should be made of the contributions which this test
makes to the qualities which are necessary for the successful teachOne might question whether such a measure of general culture
er.
involves any wide acquaintance and facility with children although
such acquaintance and facility are essential characteristics of a
good teacher in the ordinary classroom.
Contemporary Affairs Test
1,
Among the several Teachers Colleges there is a wide variation in
the student's understanding of comtemporary affairs.
Page 5
2,
Students in the Secondary Department again attained scores
on this test which were considerably higher than those obtained by students in all other departments of the colleges.
3,
The very nature of contemporary affairs places the responsibility for their acquisition on the college itself since there
is little dependence upon past experience or cultural backgrotmds.
4,
Considerable variation exists in results obtained on the tests
of the various phases of contemporary affairs pointing to a
probable variation in the en5>ha8i8 placed by the several teachers colleges on each phase.
Knowledge of the various elements of culture is essential for
good teaching but in addition there must be a complete understanding of current affairs,
5,
,
General Interpretations
1.
Definite conclusions should be drawn only after the results of
several tests are available and only after all factors affecting the scores have been determined. The results of a single
test are an inadequate base from which to draw definite conclusions.
2«
Results sho\ild be interpreted only with a knowledge of the student's ability, preparation, cultural background, and his educational experiences.
3.
National norms represent the average achievement of all students
and should not necessarily be onsidered as the standard to be

possible to have all students above the national or state median
or mean.
4.
The spread of the middle 50^ as well as the middle two-thirds is
significant in adapting methods of instruction and materials.
The wider the spread the more heterogeneous the group and the
more need for diversified methods and materials. A narrow
spread may indicate either a relatively homogeneous group through
selection or the result of limited materials and methods used with
a heterogeneous group which failed to reach the upper and lower
levels.
5.
Reading ability may affect the scores on all other tests and should
be considered in evaluating the scores received on all other tests.
6.
Basically, students in teachers colleges probably differ little
from students in other colleges in mental ability but appear to
have lower reading achievement and less adequate general backgrounds.
Page 6
7,
Ill
Individual performance in a standard intelligence test is
probably the best single criterion to determine validity of
achievement in a single subject field. High intelligence
scores would be difficult to reconcile with low achievement
scores and would indicate either a low validity of the achievement test or a need for improvement in instruction.
Implications of the Testing Program
.
A.
On Admissions
!
Shortages found from an analysis of the tests should be studied
with regard to their bearing on policies and standards of entrance or admission requirements. Provisions for remedial measures might thus be attacked early in the student's college career.
B,
2.
The relationship between the student's cultural background, or
lack of it, as determined by personal interviews and the results
obtained on the General Culture Test should provide a better
means of selection.
3.
Results of all the tests can profitably be utilized for conferences with high school principals in schools from which students
are enlisted and programs strengthened before the students reach
the time of graduation from the secondary schools.
On Curriculum Construction, Revision and Enrichment
1,
Test results should be studied with respect to their bearing on
schedule making, curriculum revision and progrjun making.

The results of the tests may be used as a point of departure for
a study of the curriculum, to determine in what areas of escperience there are overlappings and in what areas there are shortThis would necessitate the study of the materials incluages.

justments within courses or to the addition or deletion of courses.
4.
If results in a given field are low attempts should be made to
Improve the situation by a study of possible new procedures or
organization of materials.
5.
A study of the tests should be made by the instructors in each
field to determine whether or not the qualities which they measure are valid for the profession of teaching. A prerequisite
to such an analysis should be the determination of the objectives
of teacher education and the specific objectives within each field.

4.
There appears to be some evidence that the inclusion of the
test scores on the student's grade sheet is desirable.
5.
There is conflicting opinion whether or not college, state
and national norms should be made abailable to students in
evaluating the results of the test scores. Majority opinion
seems to favor the use of at least the college and state
norms in student counselling.
6.
Test results should be made available to the Placement Office
for utilization in professional counselling,
Instructional Procedures
1.
Test results may be used as motivating factors in areas in
which weaknesses are noted. Conversely, some areas may show
evidence of being over taught and instructional procedures
may be modified accordingly.

Librarians should be encouraged to review the test results for
possible clues for the selection of nev- library materials and
the appropriate use of those now available.
5.
Care should be taken that courses do not come to be taught for
the tests themselves; that they should be considered but an evslTiation of the effectiveness of the teaching and not ends in themselves.
Limitations of the Testing Program
•
A.
B,
Lack of Uniformity in Administration
1.
There appeared to be considerable lack of uniformity in the size
fo the groups tested and the conditions under which the tests were
administered. Groups varies from 30 to more than 100 and tests
were given in types of rooms varying from an ordinary classroom
to an auditorium.
2.
The time for administering the tests varied widely. In some institutions tests were given in the early morning and in others
late in the afternoon. No uniformity was noted in the day of the
week on which such tests were administered. In some institutions
students were excused from classes during the test day and in
others tests were given at the conclusion of the regular class
periods.
3.
Little uniformity was noted in orienting students to the testing
In some institutions the procedures and purposes of the
program.
tests were discussed at a preliminary meeting, in others an assembly program was devoted to a discussion of the program and in others
motivation was affected by the suggestion that test results would
be used in evaluating student success, while in other institutions
no preliminary meetings were held.
4.
No uniformity was had in the number of tests administered in a sinIn some institutions only one test a day was administered,
gle d.sy»
and in others all three tests were administered in one day.
5.
There was some evidence of a lack of uniformity in the administration of the tests themselves.
Limiting Factors
1.
Since the items included in the tests have not been measured against
the objectives set forth for the various insitutions of teacher education, results should be accepted with caution until such a validity has been determined.

2.
Tests were constructed for "both teachers colleges and liberal

measures of general education and since the latter type of institution confines its study almost exclusively to this field,
norms may be expected to favor this type of institution. Norms
determined by scores received exclusively by teachers colleges
would appear to be more reliable for our purposes.
C, Use of Test Results
1.
It should be the responsibility of the President of the college
to determine specifically how the results should be used in
each institution.
2.
No publicity shall be given the results of these tests beyond
the immediate staff of the institution.

Report of
the^
Athletic Committee
Doctor Swope, Chainnan of the Athletic ComrrittBB, asked that all
requests for interpretations or changes be presented to him in writing by
the Presidents of the colleges concerned. He stated that a request had been
received for a change in the regulation governing transfer students but, in
the light of the Committee's study, it was decided that this regulation
should not be changed.
The attention of the Board was also called to the last edition of
the Athletic Regulations appearing on page 1515 of the Proceedings of the
Meetings of the Board of Presidents, State Teachers Colleges, May, 1941,
On motion of Doctor Steele, seconded by Doctor Noonan, it was
voted that the report of the Athletic Committee be adopted,
B.
Educational Conferences during the War Pe riod
The question of postponing educational conferences and other
meetings during the war period was discussed. Due to transportation
difficulties many meetings have been canceled. However, in the lip'ht of
the important part education plays in the war effort and because of the
educational contacts necessary betv een school principals and colleges and
universities during these critical tim.es, it was decided not to abandon
such meetings. The Chairman of the ^oard appointed a committee to discuss
and study specifically the question of holding local area conferences to
advance thd war effort through educational activities.
C
.
Students Financed by Vocational Rehabilitation B oar d
The question was raised as to the late registration fee in
connection with students financed by tbe Vocational Rehabilitation Roard
since no paym.ents may be charged in advance.
It was pointed out that a
student may be excused from paying a late registration fee at the discretion of the President and since the Vocational Rehabilitation Board
has a signed contract with the college before a student so financed enters
the college, the fees will eventually be paid.

by Section 2C02.1 of the School Code (Act 2 34, approved July 28, 1942,
effective until June 1, 1945) with the approval of the Superintendent
of Public Instruction and the Executive Poard of the ComiTiOnwealth
compensation for teaching or other services to other than rectular
college students may be paid to employes in addition to the regular
college contractual salary, ifi, in the judgment of the President of
the college, such services are in excess of those regularly rendered.
Provided that this payment policy may be applied to other
persons needed to make effective such proe'ramis.
Provided, further, that coordinators of instruction on such
programs m.ay be compensated for a number of hours of service not to
exceed t^'enty percent of the total nmnber of hours.
provided that the rates of hourly payments used to compute such
compensation shall be those approved by the cooperating agencies.
Provided, further, that the total expenditures by the college
for compensation of employes shall not exceed seventy-five (75) percent
of the amount received by the college for the cooperating agency.
On ffiOtion of Mr. Andruss, seconded by Doctor Van Fouten, the
Board voted that the report be adopted,
A copy of the minutes of the above meeting of August 11, 1942
follows page 1593 as Exhibit *'G".
Attention was specifically called to the importance of sending
from each institution a complete list of names of all instructors for vhom
approval for extra compensation will be requested to the Superintendent of
Public Instruction. Specific approval by the "Executive Poard must be
secured in advance of the employment period.
Under date of November 18, 1942 the following letter was addressed
to each President emphasizing the importance of submitting the lists for
pre-approval:
To the Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges:
So that the request may be prepared far in advarce for the
(xovemor' s approval, it will be necessary to make new application
requesting permission to ^rant extra compensation payments for
defense projects to members of the instructional staff. It vill
be necessary to make new applications effective January 1, 1943.
The suggestion is m.ade this far in advarce so that you may have
an opportunity to organize whatever program.s you deem advisable. You
will recall that all such extra-com.pensat ion payments must be preapproved by the Governor before the work is actually undertaken.
Very sincerely yours

Federal Security Agency
Doctor Klonower distributed among the members of the Board certain
publications printed under the auspices of the United States Treasury
Department, The United States Secret Service has set up an educational
program concerning: the knowledge and use of money and the prevention of
Juvenile delinquincy through such education. Agents of the Secret Service
will make themselves available for illustrated lectures at the several
institutions. Those Presidents interested should contact the Agency directly.

Science as
a_
Major and Minor Field of Concent ration
The question was raised as to whether a student could take all his
and his electives in the field of science.
It was pointed out
that a student could legally do this but for purposes of placement, this
would be unwise.
It should be the duty of the advisory official to guide
students to broader fields of concentration for placement purposes,

boards of trustees for their approval and then be presented by the Superintendent of Public Instruction to the Budget Office for final approval.
I.
Summer Session Committee Report
Doctor Chandler, Chairman of the Summer Session Committee,
presented an informal report. He stated that the Committee had studied the
matter of combined summer sessions but in view of the fact that several of
the institutions were presenting various types of defense projects, it would
be unsatisfactory to combine summer sessions at this time.
The Committee recommended that no action be taken by the Board at
this time.
J,
Circular on Teacher Recruitment
Doctor Rovi'land stated that he, in collaboration with Doctor Ellis
and Dean Trabue had prepared a circular on teacher recruitment.

The preliminary discussion concerned the general background 'A'hich
led to the amendment to the School Code permittine^ the State Teachers Colleges
to conduct projects in cooperation v ith irunicipal, federal 9nd other a,t?encies
in the furtherance of national defense Tro^ram.s and activities.
Section 2002.1
was carefully explained so that there could be no misunderstandinf? concerning
the prescribed procedure that must be followed in the case of each project
under consideration.
Discussion follovred concernin':^ the different types of projects in
the field of aviation, both ground and flight, courses for secondary school
"questions
teachers and courses for students and non-students in the college,
concerning the use of actual airplanes for flight purposes yere discussed.
Fodel planes as visual aids and other apparatus rere considered. The question
of payment of money for uniforms out of funds received from Federal sources was
raised. Doctor Stover agreed to ascertain from ashington authorities 'v\hether
such expenditures v ere proper from the moneys paid to the colleges for the
maintenance of the programs.
,
Credit for courses completed was discussed. Doctor Steele made it
clear to the group that as far as students in the colleges and teachers in
service vera concerned, free elect ives in the field of aeronautics or aviation
could be approved in terms of the policy of the Poard of Presidents and that
credit earned through these courses rrif^ht be accepted by any institution in
discharge of graduation requirements. F.e pointed out that such a free elective
must be approved in terms of the accepted policy,
"•uestions of procedure to be followed in the employment of instructional
.,'r.
cClure expressed the judgment that in terms of
services ere discussed.
good fiscal policy costs of instructional services in the Aviation Program
should be kept distinct from, costs of instructional services in the teacher
education programx. It vjas further pointed out that wherever an instructor of
the college v^as rendering services in addition to his regular instructional
service before additional com.pensation could be paid to him due to his participation in the Aviation Program, a request must be approved by the
Executive Board through the office of the Superintendent of public Instruction,
This applies to any portion of the Civilian Pilot Training Pror^ram.
here
persons other than regular instructional staff members are employed to carry
on the Aviation Program, such employes may be designated as Technical Advisors
and they would be compensated at re^rular Governmental rates.
.
'
That the judgment of the p-roup micrht be crystallized, the Chairm,an was
authorized to appoint a committee to draft a recomiriendation for compensation
for teaching Civilian Pilot Training courses in the colleges. The Chairman
appointed 'illiam C. Schuster, G, M. Sullivan, and Harvey A. Andruss, Chairman,
to draft the resolution and to present it at the afternoon meeting.
The Chairman called to the attention of the members of the conference

projects and the various states of development of each project vith reference
to:
A.
B.
C.

January 20, 1943
Re;
Methods of Salary Payments for Deans of Instruction
The Budget C^immittee, after carefully reviewing the request

1,
2.

Instruction during each fiscal year be paid monthly,
beginning with June 1, 1943.
c

A.V
That the principle of paying salaries commensurate with \
the training ai.d duties of Deans of Instruction is sound,
but in view or the wide variety of practices in effect
at the different
institutions, the committee wishes to
make a more comprehensive study of the general salary
situation before suggesting any specific recommendations
with respect to salary changes for this |)articular kind
of service.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION
HARRISBURG
|
December 23, 1942
To County and District Superintendents, Supervising and
High School Principals and Heads of Educational Institutions:
In my letter of January 28, 1942 I expressed the judgment that "the
best immediate contribution that youth can make to national defense is to
remain in school to complete the work now being done," While retaining this
conviction, we are, nevertheless, faced by the urgent manpower need including
the provisions for extending selective service to include many sturlents who
In this connection your special
are of college and secondary school age.
attention is called to "High School Male Students and Selective Service,"
(Misc. 3018), issued in December, 1942, by the United States Office of
Education,
j
'
i
I
i
Therefore, the purpose of this letter is to present a statement of
policy concerning the status of seconday school students (l) inducted
into the armed forces or (2) recommended
the responsible secondary
school officials for entrance to professional schools and other institutions of higher education prior to actual completion of the requirements
now recognized by the Department of Public Instruction for secondary
school graduation. This policy is retroactive to the beginning of the
school year 1942-43,
STUDENTS INDUCTED INTO THE AmtED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES-^ A student
inducted into any branch of the armed forces of the United States prior to
graduation from a secondary school may be graduated as follows:
I.
i
,
1
I
1- The discontinuance from school shall be by virtue of induction into
the armed forces either by enlistment or through operation of the
Selective Service Act,
I
!
2- The student at the time of induction shall be regularly enrolled in
the secondary school from which he will be graduated, and his transfer
from school to service shall be immediate.
3-The student at the time of induction shall have completed at least
all but the last half year of a standard secondary school course,
and shall be in such standing that if he were to complete the final
half year of work he could be graduated under the usual rules and
regulations pertaining to graduation,
4- The school record of the student shall designate specifically the
work actually done in school to the date of induction; and, in
addition, shall specify the date of induction and the service
entered, A short period of absence from school for military
service may be administered according to the usual local rules
and regulations for short or temporary absence from school for
other causes,

BUDGET
CO!\/^/ITTEE
March 19, 1943
1.
A study of the salaries received by the Deans of Instruction shows
considerable variation in the amounts paid at the different State
Teachers Colleges.
2.
All salaries, however, are paid in conformance to the basic provisions
of the State Salary Schedule, the actual am^ounts paid being determined
primarily by considerations of local administrative policy,
3.
Total annual salaries represent the sum. of amount paid for services
rendered during the regular academic year, the pre-session, the
regular summer session, and the post session. No provision is made
for the compensation of deans during that part of the year during
which the college is not in session.
.-:160.T-.

4.
recomended that Deans of Instruction be employed twelve months
each year and that the follow;ing plan for the determination of
salaries be adopted?
It is
That the total salary for each fiscal year (12 months
period) be based in general d)n the total compensation
received during the last comparable period, ^'/here
salary increases established by executive order prevail,
this factor may be «iven additional consideration in
computing such total.
That the President of each institution be requested to
calculate such adjustments, within the framework of
the State Salary Schedule, as m_ay cover any unique case
demanding special consideration, such adjustments to
modify in part the aforesaid policy.
That the amount of salary to be paid each Dean of
Instruction be referred to the Department of Public
Instruction for approval. If approved, the President
of each college shall thereupon submit this recommendation to the Board of Trustees for consideration and
action.

Rej
American Council on Education Program for Credit for Military
Experience
A pamphlet entitled "Sound Educational Credit for Military
Experience - A Recommended Program" was issued in February 1943, by the
American Council on Education and recently distributed.
The Committee recommends a careful study of this Joint effort of
the American Council on Education and the sub-committee on Education of the
Joint Army and Navy Committee on ''/elf are and Recreation to avoid "the evils
of unsound blanke t ac.r 30.ita-tions which followed the last war" and to
provide for the use of cclleg.es and universities a far more discriminating
evaluation of the eda.- at :oaoi benefits of military service than was possible
at the close of ohe Ir.st wai.
-1604-
Most of the regional accrediting agencies, and a number of nationa
associations have approved the plan. The American Council on Education
suggests the follo-ving course of action for .American schools and colleges:
Schools and colleges individually and through representative
regional and other associations should go publicly on record as
soon as possible (if they have not already done so):
1,
a.
b.
As opposinrr indiscriminate blanket credit for
military experiences; and
As approvinpr the tentative program and procedures for
discriminating recognition and measurement of educational
competence acquired through military experience, as outlined in this pamphlet. It cannot be emphasized too
strongly that there is nothing "automatic"' about this
program.
It vdll become effective only if and xvhen
schools and colleges take individual and collective
action to make it effective.
Copies of such individual or collective action should be
forwarded, as soon as adopted, to the American Council on
Education, 744 Jackson Place, "rashin^Tton, D, C, \-rhere a complete
record and file v/ill be centrally maintained for such use as
may be necessary in coping vrith the problem on a national level,
2,
Schools and colleges should signify their willingness to
3,
experiment -"ith the procedures herein proposed in connection with
the admission and readmission of returning service men (noxv chiefly
casuality cases) so that necessary modifications and adjustments
may be made and techniques perfected looking toward the day of m.ass
demobilization and its vast problems,
a.
In cases where the returning service man applies directly
to an institution for admission rather than through the
United States Armed 'R'orces Institute, the institution is
requested to ask the Institute to examine the candidate
and report on him in the same manner as though he had
applied originally through the Institute,
Institutions should inform students and the parents of students
vAio are leaving? to enter m^ilitary service, not only of the
opportunities for continuing education offered throu(?h the Institute,
but also of the plans to measure and grant credit for any increased
educational competence, however acquired during service, upon the
student* s return to school or college, and thus preserve an
educational continuity v/hich might otherwise be lost,
4,
Institutions should make preparations to set up appropriate
5,
procedures and train personnel to cope with special adjustment
problems of a physical, social or psychological nature which are
likely to arise in connection xvith the return of service m.en to
educational life. Although these are not, strictly speaking, a
part of accreditation, they are phases of the wider problem of
postwar educational read justm.ent 7;hich loom^s increasingly larger
vrlth every passing day.
Education cannot prepare too soon to
meet this problem in all its aspects.
-16C5-
The committee believes that it is desirable for the teachers
colleges to approve the plan and participate in it. It is recommended,
however, that formal action be deferred until the next meeting of the
Board to permit all m.embers of the Poard to study the pro.cram.

On motion of Doctor Uhler, seconded by Doctor Steele, the Board voted
that the question of modifying the calendar for 1944 xvith respect to
vacations be studied by the Calendar Committee and a subsequent report be
made to the Board, Doctor Rbhrbach urged the m.em.bers of the "^oard to send

Because the problem of competing with outside industries and

seconded by Doctor Tanger that for the duration students in fjood standing
in the State Teachers Colleges be permitted to work such number of hours
as, in the judgment of the President, seems expedient.
On miOtion of Doctor Noonan, seconded by Doctor Tanger and Doctor
Van Houten, the ori'='inal m.otion ivas amended to the effect that a ceiling
of twenty-five (25) hours per xveek should be set for student employment.
On motion of Doctor Parsons, seconded by Doctor Tanger, the
amended motion was approved by the Board,
In line with the above motion. Doctor Swope moved that the
regulation now in effect concerning the em.ployment of athletes for no
more than txventy hours a week be waived for the duration and that the
period of employment for all students be the same. The motion was

of the Board give careful consideration to all the implications of the
proposed changes and that the members of the college faculties be given
an opportunity to study the report.

provides for the training of young men at certain colleges for one, U70
or three years. The Navy Program fits into the regular college program
in the matter of courses, et cetera, but it is arranged on a tri-semester
basis. The Calendar Committee was asked to "jork out some sgtisfactory
arrangement by ;i/hich individual colleges could combine their regular
college schedule with the Navy Program, The Chairman of the Calendar

the needs of his institution and which would serve as the basis for
schedules for other institutions should they adopt the Navy Program

To Presidents of Colleges and Universities, County and District
Superintendents, Supervising and High School Principals:
j
j
i
The data which we have received from county and district superintendents and from colleges indicate that the supply of teachers vsill
not meet the demand for teachers this September. This will be due in
part to wartime ctivities and the entrance of large numbersof teachers
into the military service. The situation is accentuated by the fact
that the supply from which students have been recruited is diminishing.
There are fewer senior high school students, practically no young men,
entering teacher educati n institutions or colleges preparing teachers.

the Pennsylvania V?artime Committee on Teacher Education, the Association
of College Presidents of Pennsylvania, and the Board oi Teachers College
Presidents. A supply of Bulletin No. 160 will be mailed under separate
cover to Presidents of colleges and universities and to high school
principals, arid one copy of the bulletin will be forwarded to each county
and district superintendent and supervising principal for his information.
The shortage of teachers will become more acute in the next few
years. To meet this situation, the suggestion is made that someone from
your staff, during the next two weeks, meet with your student bodyj or
at least the junior and senior classes, and point out to the students the
many typesof opportunities available in the teaching service.
Bulletin No. 160,
"Enlist in the Forces of Education", contains
material that Viill be helpful in presenting the subject "Teaching as a
Career" to the student body. Through this cooperative effort young men
and women of character and competence may be guided to the teaching
profession and thus a serious shortage of properly ualiiied teachers
in the next few years may be avoided.

Nature of the Testing Program
In cooTDeration with other colleges and universities throughout
the nation, the fourteen teachers colleges of Pennsylvania administered the National College Sophomore Tests published by
the Cooperative Test Service under the direction of the Testing
Committee of the Board of Presidents.
Tests administered included the Cooperative English Test containing sub-tests on Mechanics of Expression, Effectiveness of
Expression, and Reading Comprehension; the Cooperative General
Culture Test containing sub-tests in current social problems,
history, literature, fine arts, science and mathematics; and
the Contemporary Affairs Test including political events, social
and economic events, science and medicine, literature, fine arts
and amusements*
Purposes of the Tests
The general purpose of the tests is to provide colleges means of
evaluating knowledges, abilities and interests which are representative of the student's academic and cultural backgrounds.
2*
Tests are given at the end of the Sophomore year since this
marks the main period of the student's general education in
most colleges and since subsequent study is likely to involve
In the Teachers
some degree of subject-matter specialization.
Colleges of Pennsylvania, considerable specialization is introduced during the Freshman and Sophomore years in some curricula and hence less time is devoted to those educational experiences considered to be "general",
3,
Values which may be gained through this testing program include
(l) a measurement of the individual student's general educa/tional achievement, (2) providing information for the student's
self-appraisal of his interests, sqotitudes, and abilities with
a view toward guiding him in planning subsequent endeavors and
enhancing his personal satisfaction and worth, and (3) providing information which will assist the college in making an institutional self -appraisal and thus assist it in increasing its
effectiveness.

Administration and Scoring of the Tests
Tests were administered in the several Teachers Colleges on
March 23, 24, and 26, 1943.
2,
The administration and scoring of the tests was directed by
the following representatives of the following Institutions:
C, F, Becker, Clarion; S. M. Neagley, California; Ralph S,
Beard, Indiana; 0. C. Wrigley, Slippery Rock; M. S. Hiskey,
Edinboro; Jonas T, May, East Stroudshurg; Edna S. Botdorf,
Lock Haven; Clark R, McClelland, Kutztown; Earl F. Sykes,
West Chester; Earl Wright, Shlppenshurg; Dean Butcher, Mlllersvllle; John J. Fisher, Bloomshurg; James C, Williamson, Cheyney;
and James G, Morgan, Mansfield,
3*
Tests were scored and tabulated by the individual institutloria
and the results forwarded to the Department of Public Instruction. Tests were machine- scored with the able assistance of
Dean Dutcher, Mlllersville, John J. Fisher, Blnomsburg and
Tabulated scores were prepared
Raymond Brunner, Shlppensburg.
by each institution and forwarded to the Testing Committee for
the preparation of results.
4#
A meeting of representatives of all the teachers colleges was
held at the Department of Public Instruction on April 30, 1943
for the discussion of the Preliminary Report*

Measures Used
Since national norms are provided by the Cooperative Test
Bureau In terms of percentiles, the median, Q,^, Q^*
range and the number of cases have been given for each of
the tests administered, English, General Culture and Contemporary Affairs, for each of the several curricula as
well as for students in all curricula,
In each of the Tables presented the state and national norms
are indicated to provide comparisons by curricula and
col-
leges.

Median scores were calculated by the Garrett Method, (1926)
Test Data
Table I offers a comparison of results obtained by students
In various curricula In all of the teswihers colleges In each
of the three tests administered.
2,
Table II sets forth the scores obtained by students in all
curricula in each of the fourteen state teachers colleges.
Since the types of curricula offered vary from one Institution to another this factor may materially affect the results
obtai ned.
3,
Perhaps a better comparison of the results obtained in each
institution may be found in Table III and IV in which scores

are given for each college for students enrolled in the elemen—
Since most of the work comtary and seci^ndary departments.
pleted during the first two years in these departments is similar in all institutions resiilts in these fields can best he
compared. However, it should be recognized that these results
cannot be interpreted as a measure of the effectiveness of institutions but reflect also student capacity, bacirground, and
other factors for which no comparative data are available.
These two depertments can best be compared with the national
norms since a larger percentage of the coxirses of study provided experiences in the more general fields.
4,
In Tables V to IX inclusive are given median scores obtained by
students in Business, Health, Homemaking, Music and Art Curricula, No data are included for the Library and Industrial Arts
curricula since distributions were filed by only two schools in
each case and since the number of students enrolled is small,
5«
Table X provides tentative norms supplied by the Cooperative
Test Service for sub-tests and for the totals of each of the
three tests administered. This may be used in interpreting
individual scores made by pupils on individual tests. A final
statement of norms may be obtained from the Cooperative Test
Service direct at the later date.
6,
After the heading of each of tables I to IX inclusive will be
found in parentheses the tentative national median score based
on results obtained by 4497 students in 77 colleges.

General Interpretations
D,
1,
2«
3,
4,
5,
In general, students enrolled In the curricula in which the
first two years are spent In e;eneral education compare
favorable with national standards.
Students enrolled in special ciirrlcula compare unfavorably with national standards,
Results should be interpreted only with a knowledge of
the student's ability, preparation, cultural background
and his educational e^qjerience,
National norms represent the average achievement of all
students and should not necessarily be considered as the
standard sought by all students,
Reading ability may affect the scores on all other tests
and should be considered in evaluating the scores received on all tests.

Implications of Tests Hesnlts
IV,
On Admissions
A*
1,
Test results should be analyzed to determine possible improvement in the admissions program,
2,
Secondary schools in the area may he advised of common weaknesses which are attributed to high school preparation,
3,
A study of the correlation between success on the General
Cxilture Test and the recommendations macle by the High School
Principals should prove valuable.
On 0\irriculum Construction. Revision and Enrichment
B,
1.
Significant differences in achievement of pupils in the various curricula would appear to warrent a studr of the adequacy
of offerings in "general education" in the special fields.
2,
Results for each college may be analyzed to determine apparent
strengths and weaknesses in each department,
On Personnel Practices
C,
1,
Parts of the English test devoted to reading should be utilized
in interpreting needs of individual students.
2,
A discussion of the test results with each individual should
make him aware of his own needs.
3,
Advisers should make use of the test results in academic,
social and personal counselling of students,
4,
Majority opinion seems to favor the inclusion of college and
state norms in student counselling,
On Instructional Procedures
D,
1,
Copies of tests should be distributed to Department Heads for
checking validity of the test in stibject fields.
2,
A remedial program, particularly in the field of reading, may
Special classes for those deficient in English
be utilized.
expression may prove helpful,
3,
Results continue to indicate a need for more emphasis in the
Teachers Colleges on Cont emporary Affairs. Stressing contemporary affairs in all classes should make students better
acquainted with current problems.
-14-
I
Lifflitatlons of the Testing Program
V,
Limiting Factors
A.
1,
The validity of the Contemporary Affairs Test has been questioned
by several of the test representatives,
2#
Variability in curricula makes it difficult to compare achievement of the total gromi. The comparison by curricular groups
appears to be more valid,
3,
Results of the tests indicate that a change in proportion of
men and women in the group will affect the scores disproportionately and should be recoi^ized in making comparisons,
4,
Since these tests are concerned chiefly with measures of general
education, norms may be expected to favor students enrolled in
the Liberal Arts Colleges.
5,
The present program presents little opportunity for making direct comparison from year to year.
Suggestions for the 1943-44 Testing Program
VI,
Procedures for Administration
A*
1#
Procedures slmlliar to those utilized this year are suggested
for the 1943-44 program except that the orientation period be
eliminated,
2,
Advice of the Cooperative Test Bureau should be obtained to
determine what students should be included in the Sophomore
Testing Program.
Tests Suggested
B«
1,
