Report of the Curricular and Credentials Committee
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular and Credentials Committee,

presented the following report:
REPORT OE THE CURRICULA AND CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE
July 16, 1948
Re:
Extension of the Secondary Certificate to Include the Elementary Field
Your committee met on June 24 and 25, 1948, with Presidents Swope,
Van Houten and Steele in attendance. Doctor Klonower met with the committee.
A preliminary meeting was held with Doctors Cressman, Pond and
Powers in which the committee discussed with them the most desirable preparation for extending the secondary certificate to the elementary field. Many
helpful suggestions were made.
It was agreed that the practice of selecting
thirty hours indiscriminately from courses being pursued by freshmen,
sophomores and upper classmen was unsatisfactory and indefensible; that
students who have completed the requirements for the secondary certificate
are reasonably well selected, mature and qualified to do work on the graduate
level.
It was agreed that instruction should be sequential, unified and
planned on a graduate basis. It was felt that it should be done in close
contact with elementary teaching situations and that laboratory participation
It was agreed instead of merely listing required
and practice are essential.
the
most
hours
that
important areas of elementary activity and
courses and
be
selected
and
for each area the competencies expected
instruction should
should be listed.
The committee, while agreed that the worl: should be of graduate
level, was divided in its opinion as to whether graduate credit should be
given for this work in teachers colleges.
The committee agreed that two possibilities exist for giving
graduate credit and conferring a master's degree:
1.
Authorization of teachers colleges with adequate
staff and facilities to offer graduate work and
confer the degree.
2.
Cooperative arrangements with state aided or other
universities whereby a part of the work could be
offered at authorized teachers colleges, part at the
university, and the degree conferred by the university.
A combination of these two might furnish the most satisfactory
solution.
If graduate work should be approved and undertaken, the members
of the committee present were unanimous in the opinion that such work
should be offered only in the summer sessions in the teachers colleges.
Progress was made in the outline of the areas to be included and
-1874-
:
Doctor Powers submitted helpful suggestions and statements of objectives
The Chairman of the committee was authorised to submit the material
in the hands of the committee to elementary specialists designated by the
Presidents with a request for criticism and suggestion.
The committee believes the subject of this report is a matter of
vital importance to the elementary schools since the extension of the
secondary certificate may provide for several years the main source of
supply for elementary teachers.
The report is respectfully submitted for study and suggestion.

eastern conference would include Bloomsburg, Cheyney, East Stroudsburg,
Kutztown, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Millers ville, Shippensburg, and West
Chester, and the western. Clarion, California, Edinboro, Indiana, and
Slippery Rock.
It is recommended that each President notify his staff representatives
on the various subject matter committees and request their presence at the
meeting during the first three days of September.
It is further recommended that arrangements be made for housing
these representatives for the three days at a conveniently located college
in the area, and that representatives be reimbursed for expense of travel
and housing.

Re:
Revision of Publication Policy
The present policy for publications is summarized in the minutes
Concerning the bulletins
of the Board of Presidents for liarch 17, 1939*
that can be published it says:
(a)
Each year one catalog as per Distribution A already
developed.
(b)
Each year one summer session bulletin as per
distribution and format to be developed.
(c) Once every four years an illustrated number as per

(Not in
(e) The other numbers on the program to be professional
bulletins for the general advancement of the teaching
profession, etc. (Each college is permitted one bulletin
for each special approved curriculum - minutes of the
Board of Residents, I larch 15, 1940.)
The formats that we are using are also described.
The number of bulletins of one issue that each college can
publish is regulated by a formula consisting of the school population
of the college area.
The committee recommends a catalogue for each college not oftner
than one in a biennium. The number of copies for each school would be as
at present.
The number of copies permitted each biennium would be double
the number now permitted annually. The catalogue would be similar to the
present catalogue, but omitting curriculums and fees.
The following uniform bulletins would be issued as needed for the
use of all colleges:
1.
2.
3.
Bulletin on fees and expenses
Bulletin on elementary and secondary curriculums
Bulletin for each special four-year curriculum

Bulletins 1 and 2 would be uniform and carry the names of all

colleges offering each four-year special curriculum.

be on each college. The responsibility for preparing bulletins 1, 2 and

order for all colleges for bulletins 1 , 2 and 3« The number of copies
of bulletins 1, 2 and 3 going to each college would be the same as is
now permitted each college. The effective date on the suggested change
would be January 1, 19^9*
Each school would have the privilege of issuing annually as
many different bulletins as are now permitted under the policy of
March 17, 1939* Bulletins 1, 2 and 3 would be credited as one bulletin.
This means that a college, by using a catalogue once in two years,
could issue one other of the permitted bulletins during one of those
years.

Paul G. Chandler, Chairman
After some discussion, it was moved by Doctor Van Houten,
seconded by Doctor Swope, that inasmuch as the suggested policy contained
so many items differing from the original policy, the matter be tabled
until the next meeting in order that all Presidents would have an
opportunity to study the report with care. The Board voted to table
the report.

A.
Specifications and 3ids
Doctor Biemesderfer raised the question concerning the difficulty
experienced by the institutions in securing action on requisitions that have
been made for certain items. He ashed whether some procedure could be
developed by which greater speed could be attained, especially on requests
for needed repairs. The matter was discussed and the Chairman stated that
a letter would be sent to each institution concerning the matter.
B,
Additional Salary for College Personnel
Doctor Houle, who raised the question, stated that he had secured
an answer to this problem and since the matter was not one that required
further Board action, the item was removed from the Docket.

C.
Survey of Power Plants
Doctor Houk raised the question as to what the institutions might
expect regarding the survey of power plants. The Chairman stated that the
Pennsylvania State College was making the survey at the request of the
Governor and that each institution would be visited before the survey
was completed.
D.
Automobiles for Driver Training Courses
The matter of purchasing dual-control automobiles for use in the
Driver Training courses was discussed. The Chairman stated that if this
type of car was to be considered instructional material, then some means
should be found to purchase such cars. He stated that money had to be
appropriated by the General Assembly for such purchases and also that there
are certain legal implications that must be considered.
The question of securing money for gasoline and insurance was also
discussed.
In one institution, students pay for these items in the same
way that they buy textbooks, et cetera. After some discussion, the Chairman
referred the entire matter to the Fees Committee for consideration and a
report at the next meeting of the Board.
E.
Retirement Contributions
for Summer Sessions
Doctor Pratt raised the question as to whether instructors in the
State Teachers Colleges, employed during the summer sessions, might contribute
to the Retirement Fund for such employment.
At the request of the Chairman,
Mr. J. Y. Shambach, Secretary, Public School Employes' Retirement Board, met
with the Board to answer this question.
Mr. Shambach stated that if an employe in a State Teachers College
was employed for a period less than a month, such an employe coujd not
contribute to the Retirement Fund. An employe employed more than a month
may contribute.
There seemed to be some confusion regarding summer session employment especially because of the vise of the term "regular" summer session as
compared with pre-session and post-session. The Chairman of the Board
stated that it was his feeling that an instructor in a State Teachers
College should have the right to contribute on every period of service
whether it be one week or one month. He stated that he would ask a small
committee to study the matter and make clear the set-up in the State
Teachers Colleges and then would take the matter up with the Attorney
General.
F.
Summer Session Enrollment Reports
Inasmuch as there are a number of the State Teachers Colleges now
operating two six-week summer sessions instead of the traditional three weeks
pre-session, six weeks summer session, and three weeks post-session, the
Chairman asked the Secretary of the Board to develop a method of reporting
summer enrollments that would give a clear picture of the situation no
matter under which program the institutions operated.

Doctor Noonan, Chair roan of the Budget Committee, stated tliat Doctor
Haas had asked his committee to review carefully the methods of making budget
allocations and to make any suggestions or improvements or, if the system seemed
to be wrong, to eliminate it entirely and replace it with a more effective
system. The Budget Committee met with Mr. McClure and the members were favorably

for allocations operated, Mr. McClure outlined the procedure to the Board.
After hearing Mr. McClure’s explanation of the system, the Board felt that the
present method of allocating available funds was equitable and fair.
Doctor Parsons suggested that it would be helpful if professional
services could be secured to develop probable costs of projects before such
were included in the budgets. The Chairman stated that a competent Superintendent of Grounds and Buildings could be of assistance in the development of
rough estimates of such costs and that it was hardly possible to furnish
sufficient personnel to review all such projects in all institutions.
At this time the Chairman stated that he would like to have the
3udget Committee and the Fees Committee continue in active service this summer.
He asked that any suggestions regarding budget matters be sent to Doctor Noonan,
Chairman of the Budget Committee, and suggestions with reference to fees be
sent to Mr. fndruss, Chairman of the Fees Committee,
H.
Committees of 3oards of Presidents
The Chairman advised the members of the Board that it seemed desirable
to rearrange membership on the standing committees and to eliminate the Summer
Sessions Committee. He advised that the Secretary would send to each President
the list of committees, together with the new membership,

The Chairman stated that a letter had been sent to all Presidents
requesting brief reports of progress during the second year of Governor Duff’s
administration. He asked that these reports be submitted at once to Doctor
Klonower since the final report was to be in the Governor's hands August 1, 1948,

the opinion that the matter of cooperation in the use of individual milk containers was a moral responsibility rather than a legal responsibility. The
Department of Agriculture has not taken the position that the use of such containers was mandatory but since private institutions have accepted the program
without question, the State Teachers Colleges would possibly be the only institutions not cooperating with the Department. Mr. Horst stated that he vould
like to have the cooperation of the State Teachers Colleges but under no circumstances was the use of individual containers mandatory.
Mr. Bolla stated that from e legal point of view since agencies of

N.
Surplus Property - Microscopes
Doctor Steele stated that the State Teachers Colleges had been
requested to indicate the number of microscopes needed should this type of
science equipment become available through the Area Colleges. He stated
that the requests were quite varied and in all cases the requests far
exceeded the probable supply. He stated that the matter would have to
be studied further and that if, and vhen, microscopes do become available,
some equitable method of distributon will be developed so that each
institution will get its fair share.

Colleges fall into three different offices of the Veterans' Administration Wilkes-Barre, Philadelrhia and Pittsburgh - and certain directives from the
three offices appeared to be in conflict. The Chairman, therefore, appointed

Report of Publications and Public Relations
Committee
Doctor Chandler, Chairman of the Publications and Public Relations
Committee, read a letter which he had received from Dr. S. Z, Stevens, State
Historian, regarding historical markers for State Teachers Colleges. Doctor
Chandler called special at tent on to the last paragraph of the letter which
is quoted as follows:
"Replying to your letter of November 22, I am sending you a copy of
our marker booklet listing all of our historical markers, and have
checked the index.
If you think it advisable, I would be glad to
send copies to all the State Teachers College presidents. The only
college markers placed to date are those for Allegheny College,
Buc knell University, Dickinson College, First State Normal (llillersville)
Linden Hall, The Pennsylvania State College, St. Vincent, Susquehanna
University, Uaynesburg College, and Westminster College.
It is our
feeling that each of these institutions has a special historical
significance.
"Ue have not embarked on any program for marking all the educational or
other institutions in the State.
I am aware that Virginia and other
states have a policy of placing markers at all institutions of an
educational or similar nature. Ue have been so busy with major
historical sites and locations, that we do not have time or fluids to
embark on this phase of the program. Any college which has been marked
so far has been called to our attention as possessing some special
historical significance in relation to the educational structure of
the State.
"Should any of the State Teachers Colleges fit into this pattern we
should be very pleased to hear directly form them or from you."
No action was taken on the report of the Publications and Public
Relations Committee.
D.
R e P° rJc 2± Special Committee on Salary Schedule
Doctor Noonan, Chairman of the Special Committee, stated that his
committee had complied considerable material and had met with the committee
representing the faculties of the institutions. He stated that his committee
would be in a position to present a formal report as soon as the Governor’s
budget message is made public.

Report of the Calendar Committee

Report of Spec ial Committee on ROTC
Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the Special Committee on ROTC,
presented the following report:
REPORT OF THE SPECIAL
ON THE STATUS OF ROTC IN THE STATE
TEACHERS COLLEGES
COI-fiUTTEE
January 21, 1949
The Special Committee on ROTC met with Colonel Ben H. Chastaine and corresponded with Lieutenant General George E. Stratemeyer and General L. T. Gerow.
The Committee wishes to make the following report:
A.
The conference with Colonel Ben H. Chastaine, December 17, 1948, indicated
that:
1.
2.
3.
ROTC units under the direction of the Pennsylvania State College
are being operated at the State Teachers Colleges at California,
East Stroudsburg, Ediriboro, ICutztown, and Mansfield*
The State Teachers Colleges at Clarion and Slippery Rod: have
applied for units but ire re rejected "due to the lightness of
personnel".
"Lightness of Personnel" actually means the difficulty of procuring qualified instructors for additional branch
ROTC units.
Because of declining size it is possible that two of the five units
now operated in State Teachers Colleges will be discontinued. In
that event it is possible that a ROTC unit will be activated at
Clarion.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
B.
Additional ROTC units are needed in technical schools for ordnance,
signal corps, and engineers.
The policy of the Uar Department now suggests that an institution
to be considered favorably for the activation of a ROTC unit
should enroll 1000 men and that the membership of a unit should
total from 400 to 5 00 men.
Programs of the ROTC in our state teachers colleges will continue
to be confined to first year training.
A limited number of teacher education students have been allowed
to participate in existing ROTC units.
Generally speaking, facilities in the state teachers colleges are
reported to be superior to those available in so-called "Penn State
Centers".
All Penn State freshmen without GI status are required to participate in the ROTC program. The number of candidates for ROTC among
Penn State freshmen will increase until practically every freshman
will be enrolled.
The statement of Lieutenant General George E. Stratemeyer, as of
December 1 6, 1948, is quoted:
"I wish to acknowledge hour recent letter addressed to the Commanding General of my First Air Force at Fort Slocum, New York, expressing your interest in the establishment of Air Force ROTC units at
-1899-
t
nr
"
"
State Teachers Colleges.
"We have under enrollment at this time more than 22,000 freshmen
which appears to be a satisfactory number to meet our annual
officer production requirements. However, we will activate a few
units that can assure us an enrollment of approximately 450 students
in all classes who are preponderately matriculated in engineering
colleges or who are undertaking science majors.
"If in your opinion your colleges are in a position to meet these
basic requirements along with adequate administrative and storage
space, I will then take pleasure in requesting an Air Force officer
to call on you for the purpose of further discussion.
C#
Under date of September 23* 1948, General L. T, Gerow. of the Headquarters Second Army, Fort George G. Meade, Maryland, embodies these
tvti paragraphs in a letter addressed to Colonel Frederick A. Muhlenberg,
M.C.
"In order for regularly enrolled students at State Teachers College
of ICutztown to be given ROTC training, it will be necessary for the
institution to obtain a ROTC unit similar to the one now established
at Pennsylvania State College. However, prior to any action in this
respect, it is suggested that the approval of the Pennsylvania State
Department of Education be obtained after which I will be glad to
have a member of my staff call updn Dr, Rohrbach and offer such
assistance as he may wish in the preparation of an application for
a ROTC unit.
"I agree wholeheartedly with you that our youth should be given every
opportunity to participate in military training whenever they so
desire. To deny them this training is to deny our country one of

that it is not within my power to permit the students in question to
take the training they wish.

The committee will inquire further into this matter and will report again
at a later date.
Respectfully submitted

The Board accepted the report of the special committee on ROTC.
Ho formal action was taken on the matter.

Report of the Testing Committee
Doctor Pratt, Chairman of the Testing Committee, stated that his
committee is completing a survey of current testing practices in the State
Teachers Colleges. Two institutions have not replied to the questionnaire.
-1900-
:
:
Doctor Pratt, in reporting for the committee, made the following
recommendations
1.
2.
3.
That no uniform testing program he required
That the Testing Committee as such he abolished
That a Committee on Student Personnel and Guidance he established
to study and make recommendations on the admission of students,
student guidance and personnel practices.
After considerable discussion, the Chairman of the Board suggested
that Doctor Pratt’s committee make a further study of the matter to ascertain
the following:
1.
2.
3.
Whether a uniform system of testing is desirable
The possibility of broadening the scope of the Testing Committee
through a change in name and purposes
The results of the questionnaire when replies form all the
institutions have been received.
The matter was continued on the Docket for a report at the next
meeting of the Board.
H.
Report of Committee on Expiration of GI Rights
Doctor Parsons, Chairman of the special committee, presented the
following report:
At the request of Dr. Haas, Dr. Parsons called a meeting of the
following people who met in Dr. Swope’s office on Wednesday, January 19,
I9I+9 at 10: 00* A. II.
Dr. Richard Parsons, President, Lock Haven State Teachers College
I-Ir. Schuster, representing President Pratt of Indiana State
Teachers College
Dr. Charles S. Swope, President, West Chester State Teachers

Ho. 3
Mr. Frank L. Jones, Chief, Registration and Research Division,
Branch Office Ho. 3
Mr. I. E. Axler, Research Officer, Veterans Administration,
Branch Office Ho. 3
The meeting was called because the fourteen State Teachers Colleges
deal with three different regional offices of the Veterans Administration.
The purpose of the meeting was to arrive at a uniform interpretation among
the colleges of the Veterans Administr at ion's regulations regarding the
expiration of entitlement of veteran students in the Pennsylvania State
Teachers Colleges.
- 1901
.
Each veteran is notified by the Veterans Administration regional
office at the beginning of each school year regarding the amount of entitlement remaining to his credit. A copy of this notification is sent to the
college at which he is enrolled. Furthermore, each veteran is notified by
the Veterans Administration three months before the expiration of his entitlement of the exact date upon which his entitlement will expire. A copy of this
notification is also sent to the college.
In any individual case, the college may refer the veteran to the
registration and Research Section of the regional office for information
regarding his entitlement. Furthermore, at the request of the college
the Chief of the Registration and Research Section of the regional office
will send a representative to the college to work out any problems in
entitlement.
Following are applications of the Veterans Administration regulations
regarding the expiration of entitlement, in cases of veterans enrolled in the
State Teachers Colleges of Pennsylvania:
1.
VA regulations provide that whenever the period of eligibility ends
during a semester after the midpoint of such semester the period of
entitlement will be extended to the termination of the unexpired
semester provided the customary charge of tuition does not exceed
the rate of $500 for the ordinary school year.
Example :
Veteran is enrolled for a semester of 18 weeks, cost of the semester is
The veteran has remaining entitlement of 10 weeks which is sufficient
$126.
The VA will pay for the
to carry him past the midpoint of the semester.
entire cost of tuition, fees, books and supplies for the semester.
2.
In the case where the veteran's remaining entitlement is not sufficient
to carry him past the midpoint of the semester, the VA will pay only
that proportionate part of the cost of tuition, fees, books and
supplies for the semester that the number of days of entitlement
bears to the number of calendar days in the semester.
Example :
The veteran is enrolled in a semester of 18 weeks, the cost of the semester
The verteran lias remaining entitlement of eight weeks which is
is $126.
not sufficient to carry him past the midpoint of the semester. The VA
will pay charges as follows:
,
8 weeks or 5 6 days
.
18 weeks or 126 days x ^126.00 = $56.00
.
3.
,
As indicated in paragraph 1 above, in the case where the semester is
18 weeks, if the veteran's remaining entitlement is nine weeks plus one
day, or greater, entitlement will be extended to the end of the
semester.
-1902-
k.
For those veterans in the Pre Session, Post Session or Regular Summer
Session, the Veterans Administration will pay the co3t of tuition fees,
"boohs and supplies when the veteran’s entitlement expires after the
midpoint of any of these summer sessions. However, if the veteran’s
entitlement expires "before the midpoint of any summer session, the
Veterans Administration will pay the proportionate part of these costs
that the number of days of remaining entitlement bears to the number
of calendar days in the session.
In a three-week session, the midpoint
is the eleventh day.
This may be illustrated by the following scale:
Three weeks

In concluding, Doctor Parsons stated that copies of these regulations

Veterans Administration.

Vocational Teaching Aids
Doctor Cressman met with the Board and advised that there is
available certain visual instructional material such as film strips, cameras,
motion picture machines, et cetera. He suggested the possibility of the
State Teachers Colleges acting as agents for the State Board for Vocational
Education and setting up centers in the institutions for the distribution
of this visual material.
Several questions arose out of the discussion such as what cost,
born by the institutions; what personnel would be
required to maintain the centers; is the project a teacher education project;
and the lil:e? As a result of these questions, the Chairman of the Board
ashed that the Curricular and Credentials Committee meet with Doctor Cressman
to get as clear a picture as possible of all angles of the proposed project.

C.
Retirement Deductions for Cooperative Teachers
Doctor ICriner raised a question concerning a communication which
he had received concerning deductions to the School Employes* Retirement
Fund from salaries paid cooperative training teachers. The Chairman requested
Mr. J. Y. Shambach, Secretary, Public School Employes’ Retirement Board, to
answer the inquiry. Mr* Shambach stated that the Retirement Board had been
advised that deductions from extra pay for extra services could not be
accepted in the Retirement Fund. The Chairman stated that it was his feeling
that the salary paid to cooperative teachers was not extra pay for extra
service. He requested Doctor ICr iner to advise him in letter form of the
specific case under discussion. He further stated that he would secure
an opinion form the Department of Justice covering the question as to whether
deductions should be made by the Retirement Board for salaries paid to
cooperative teachers.
D.
Maintenance of Training School Facilities
Doctor Pratt submitted a preliminary study of a suggested amendment
to Act 515 which would provide appropriation for teachers employed in campus
laboratory schools in the amount of £2000 for each teaching unit. The amendment, in essence, is a follows:
"Every State Teachers College shall be paid by the Commonwealth
beginning with the school year 1$kQ-b9 and every school year thereafter on account of all pupils in average daily membership in the
training school maintained exclusively by the State Teachers College,
the sum of £2000 for each teaching unit. The number of teaching units
shall be determined as follows:
1.
Divide by twenty-two, the number of pupils in average daily
membership in the high school division of the training school
during the preceding term.
2.
Divide by thirty, the number of pupils in the elementary
division of the training school during the preceding school
term.
190lw
The Chairman advised the Board that the bill is being prepared
but before sponsorship is sought, all the implications of the proposal
should be carefully studied. The Chairman requested Doctor Pratt to
gather all such additional information on the matter as may be available.
E.
Distribution of Salaries
Doctor ICLonower distributed copies of a chart prepared from a
study made by Mr. McClure shoving the distribution of the salaries of some
seven hundred faculty members for the year 1947-1948. He advised that this
vas a preliminary copy for administrative use only. He suggested that a
refinement of the study might be made in each institution as veil as an
analysis for the year 1948-1949.
F.
Personal Interview Requirements for Student Admissions
Doctor Noonan raised the question regarding entrance requirements,
particularly in regard to personal interviews. He stated that while the
admission requirements are supposed to be uniform, the administration of
such requirements varies in each institution which makes it possible for a
student who is denied admission to one institution to be admitted to another
institution. The Chairman indicated that he would appoint a special committee
to make a complete study of this matter and report to the Board at the
next meeting.
G.
Health Institutes in State Teachers Colleges
Attention of the Board was called to a cooperative program between
the Department of Health and the Department of Public Instruction whereby
health and physical examations of all children of school age are being

asked Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the Calendar Committee, Doctor Cressman
and Doctor ICLonower to work out as soon as possible a tentative schedule
for these institutes which will begin in the Fall.
H.
Minutes of Meeting of Deans of Instruction
The minutes of the meeting of the Deans of Instruction were
called to the attention of the Board and specific reference made to
certain recommendations. It was moved by Doctor Biemesderfer, seconded by
Mr. Morgan, that the minutes be referred to the Curricular and Credentials
Committee for study and such action as seems appropriate. The Board so
voted.

Elementary Curriculum Conferences
Doctor Powers, Chief of Elementary Education, distributed certain
materials regarding proposed conferences to be held in the State Teachers
Colleges during April and May for the purpose of introducing a new course
of study bulletin, 233-B, and "Education for Citizenship".
She advised
that these meetings would be set up along the same lines as the sixteen
conferences held in the State Teachers Colleges some time ago. The
Presidents agreed to cooperate in the program and make available facilities
for the meetings. A tentative schedule was submitted. Doctor Powers ashed
each President to advise her immediately if the date selected for his
institution was not satisfactory. Sample copies of the program for the
conferences and the letter of invitation to be sent from the Department
of Public Instruction to the teachers and administrative officers in the
areas were also distributed. Doctor Powers ashed that the Presidents send
to her any comments or suggestions*
J.
Reports on Road Repairs and Desired land Purchases
Hr. McClure, Comptroller, called attention to the following two
items:
1.
A report to be sent to Doctor Haas on the necessary repairs to
roads on State-earned property for transmittal to the Secretary
of Highways for consideration in the wori: program for 1949-1950.
2.
A report on proposed land purchases for 1949-1951 to be sent to
Doctor Haas for transmittal to the Secretary of Property and
Supplies in order that the necessary investigations and appraisals
may be conducted.
Mr. McClure stated that these items had been requested some time
ago but that replies had not been received from all institutions. He ashed
that those institutions which have not yet submitted the reports to Doctor
Haas do so immediately.
IC.
Property and Uage Taxes
Hr. Stanley C. Fellows, Legal Adviser, reported on two matters
which had recently been brought to the attention of the Department of Public
Instruction by the State Teachers Colleges:
1.
The local authorities in Clarion, Pennsylvania, have served notice
on the Teachers College that three buildings located on the campus,
which were given to the College some time ago by the Public Housing
Administration and which are occupied by students who rent the same,
are being assessed for local taxation purposes. The matter was
referred to the Department of Justice and that Department is
corresponding with the local solicitor, taking the position that
under numerous court decisions the tax liability cannot be imposed
on the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, under the circumstances.
Ho reply has been received from the local solicitor and, therefore,
the same has not as yet been concluded.
-1906-
2.
The Bloomsbury State Teachers College advised the Department
of Public Instruction that the Borough of Catawissa had adopted
an ordinance imposing a wage tax on residents of the Borough.
The question was, therefore, as to whether or not the ordinance
could be made to apply to an employe of the Bloomsbury State
Teachers College who resided in Catawissa.
The matter was referred to the Department of Justice which advised
that employes of the Commonwealth would be liable for the tax the
same as other local residents. However , it was pointed out that
Act ITo. 48l of the 1947 session of the General Assembly, under
which the ‘tax was levied, is not sufficiently broad to compel
State institutions either to collect and deliver the tax or to
furnish a list of Comonwealth employes for the purpose of
assessing such tax.
In order to clarify this opinion further, the Chairman of the
Board asked Mr. Fellows to seel: advice on the following points:
1.
Has the State Teachers College as an agency of the State any
responsibility or authority to collect the taxes and turn them
over to the town?
2.
Does the institution have the responsibility to give, on
official request, the amount of money earned by the resident?
The Chairman of the Board advised the Presidents to submit any
questions or comments to Mr. Fellows.
L.
Repair Projects
Members of the Board brought to the attention of the Chairman
the fact that there was considerable delay on repair projects contrary
to the general understanding that all such projects involving less
expenditure than $4000 could be cleared in accord with a special
procedure.
In view of
the Chairman felt it

PROCEDURE FOR EXTENDING A SECONDARY CERTIFICATE TO THE ELEMENTARY FIELD
The types of courses appropriate for this purpose were reviewed and
distinctions were drawn between those courses dealing specifically with elementary education and those other courses which are general in nature. Mention
wa s made of two courses frequently offered as a part of the thirty semester
hours in elementary education, namely, Visual Education and History of the
United States and Pennsylvania. Depending upon individual circumstances, these
courses my be required for converting a provisional college certificate into

DEFINITION OF "A BASIC COURSE IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES AND PENNSYLVANIA
1
A number of the courses offered for meeting this requirement were reviewed in order to reach an understanding of the type of course acceptable in
meeting the requirement in this field of the State Council of Education.
It
was agreed that courses whose titles designated them as referring to a short
period or a single aspect of American History were not appropriate. Such courses
as "The Critical Period in American History" or "History of the Westward Movement"
or "Diplomatic History of the United States" or "Naval History of the United States"
or "Influence of Slavery" are not basic courses which could be used in meeting the
history requirement. This also applies to "History of Pennsylvania". Attention
was called to the fact that students frequently enroll in a class to take the
History of Pennsylvania when they desire to meet the requirement of a basic course
Unfortunately , the requirement
in the History of United States and Pennsylvania.
of the State Council of Education is popularly referred to as "History of Pennsylvania". This misapprehension has led to a great many disappointments on the part
of those who thought they were meeting certification requirements through a course
It was agreed that the requirement of the State
in the history of Pennsylvania.
Council would be considered satisfied by a student who had completed either
"History of United States from 1*1-92 to 1865 " or "History of United States from
1865 to Date".
WHAT COURSES ARE "GERMANE TO TEACHING TECHNIQUES" AND MAY BE USED BY EXPERIENCED
TEACHERS AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR STUDENT TEACHING?
Any course in the methods or techniques of teaching in the elementary
school may be used for this purpose. These courses may be general in nature or
may refer to any single subject or group of subjects.
EVALUATION OF NORMAL SCHOOL CREDITS FOR ADVANCED STANDING
This
The method of evaluation of normal school credits was reviewed.
matter has assumed renewed importance during the last year or two because of the
incentive in Act 515 for advancing from the standard grade of certification to
the college level of certification. The applicants for the non-standard evaluation present educational histories of many different types. Some have not attended
high school at all but have entered the normal school after completing the eighth
grade in a local school system; others have completed work in small high schools
which are now out of existence or from which records are impossible to procure;
and others have completed in local normal schools courses which were intended to
prepare the student for successful completion of examinations for a certificate.
It was the sentiment of the deans that the present facilities for evaluating secondary school preparation are adequate and that recognition is given to
wider variety of education background than was formerly the case. The State
Teachers Colleges are in a position to evaluate more realistically the value and
It seems desirable that secapplicability of earlier courses than anyone else*

Division and that courses completed in the normal schools should be evaluated by

the successor institution, the State Teachers College.
It was therefore moved and
seconded that recommendation "be made to the Board of Presidents to discontinue the
non-standard evaluation in favor of a secondary school evaluation by the Secondary
Credentials Evaluation Division and an evaluation of normal school credits be the
State Teachers Colleges. This motion was passed.
BASIC TRAINING AND ITS RELATION TO CREDIT FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Veterans are permitted, in a number of institutions, to omit classes
in physical education on the basis of basic training in the Armed Forces.
There
seems to be little uniformity of practice in this respect.
The discussion concerning the credit for physical education brought
again to consideration a matter on which the deans have made recommendations on
several previous occasions. The following recommendation was adopted and is
respectfully referred to the Board of Presidents for thair consideration and for
any action thereon that they may consider advisable:
"It is moved that the required health and physical education
be limited to two years in the secondary and elementary curricula, with the addition of a required two semester hour
course in teaching of health for students in the elementary
curricula.
PRACTICES RELATING TO ADMISSION OF STUDENTS IN TEE LOWER HALF OF THEIR HIGH
SCHOOL GRADUATING CLASS
Procedure for admission of students from the lower half of the secondary school graduate class differs from one institution to another. In cases
where the limit of enrollment is met by the admission of applicants from the
upper half, this problem does not present itself. Where the limit students is not
met by admissions from the upper half of the secondary school graduating class,
others are admitted on the basis of examination or by examination and a personal
There was no general agreement on any particular method of selection,
interview.
but a number of deans cited instances in which students admitted from the lower
half of the graduating class excelled those who were admitted by certificate
from the upper half of the graduating class. Some deans express sentiments in
favor of administering examinations to all applicants.
PROCEDURE RE:
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION TO STATE TEACHERS COLLEGES
A canvass of the deans indicated that students are admitted to state
teachers colleges if they have completed a curriculum in an approved secondary
school and have attained a rani; in the upper half of the secondary school graduating class. Eight institutions also require a personal interview before a student may be admitted, and one requires a physical examination.
A discussion developed concerning the kind and severity of physical
defects which might disqualify an applicant from admission to a state teachers

that the Board of Presidents should consider this natter and adopt a policy
which should guide actions in determining whether a physically handicapped
student should be admitted to the institutions as a student.
UNIFORM STATEMENTS RE:
COURSES IN CATALOGUES
Several minor differences occurring in the catalogs of the various
institutions were noted but there was no divergence of consequence.

PRACTICES RE:
ABSENCE FROM CLASSES ON THE PART OF TEACHERS

load and student load, with clock hour load receiving most attention. Standards
which the institutions try to meet is a class load of eighteen semester hours of
recitation and lecture or twenty-four hours of laboratory work.
RULES FOR ADMITTING PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE STUDENTS
The conclusion of the deans on this matter indicated that students
enrolled with the Pennsylvania State Colleges attending classes at a cooperating institution should meet the requirements of the Pennsylvania State
College and be admitted to the state teachers college only upon evidence of
acceptance by the Pennsylvania State College, Such students are not expected
to sign the enrollment forms which are usually signed by students of the state
teachers colleges.

The scope of this topic and the proceedings one are so wide that adequate discussion was impossible in the time alloted.
It was moved, seconded,
and carried that there be a Summer meeting to be held on Monday of the second
week of the summer session, namely, June 13, 19^9 . At this meeting there
should be a program including prepared papers or reports of researches conducted in the various institutions. This proposal was unanimously agreed toi

It is evident that the state teachers colleges have been compelled to retrench in their extension classes and that they have thereby denied in-service
training in teacher education to large numers of teachers in their area who are
interested in taking various courses for earning degrees and for upgrading their
certificates.
It was the general sentiment of the meeting that this matter should be
referred to the Board of Presidents for their consideration with the added problem
of the advisability of adding graduate courses on a part-time and simmer basis to
those teachers who wish to earn the Master’s Degree in order that they may improve
their teaching service and obtain the additional compensation provided by law.
DESIRABILITY FOR EXCHANGE OF DIFORMATION CONCERNING SUMMER SESSION OFFER DIGS
A number of the deans arranged, upon an area basis, to advise each other
of their summer session offerings 90 that duplications may be avoided and that
certain courses which are not in great demand may be offered in at least one institution in the area so that teachers may have the opportunity of obtaining the
work they need. A great many teachers find that their progress toward the extension
of their certificate to an additional area is blocked because certain necessary
courses are not available any where.
EXTRA-CURE ICULAE PARTIC IPATION
There was an exchange of information concerning the practices in the
various institutions relating to the requirement for student participation in
extra-curricular activities.

REPORT OF THE CURRICULAR AND CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE
March 18, 1949
Re:
Loan Libraries for Audio-Visual Aids and Equipment in State Teachers
Colleges
Your committee has considered the proposal to establish loan libraries
for the distribution of films and audio-visual aids and equipment now on hand
or to be purchased in the future by the State Board for Vocational Education*
The committee recommends the acceptance of this offer under the
following conditions:
1.
Each institution will establish and maintain a visual aids loan
library for the public schools and other agencies conducting
vocational and practical arts educational activities within the
normal geographical area of the institution,
2.
The State Board for Vocational Education will transfer to each
institution on memorandum receipt a proportionate share of all
audio-visual aids and equipment now on hand or to be purchased
in the future,
3.
Each college will organize and administer the loan library and
collect fees with the intent of maintaining a self-supporting
service,
4.
Service charges shall not exceed one dollar ($1,00) per reel per
weekly loan plus transportation and insurance coverage, except
that profit organizations may be charged two dollars ($2,00) per
reel plus transportation and insurance. Fees shall be set to cover
cost of supervision, clerical assistance, inspection, handling and
storage facilities,
5.
In no case shall films or equipment be loaned where any fee whatsoever is charged for admission,
6.
Equipment rental charges for like equipment will be uniform in all
loan libraries established under this proposal. Equipment will be
furnished only on payment of fees and personal pick up and returned
with responsibility for any material damage other than reasonable wear,
7.
Free use of films and equipment will be granted to State Area Supervisors of Vocational Education and to members of the instructional
staff of the college.
- 1910 -

REPORT OF THE CURRICULAR AND CREDENTIALS COMMI TTEEE
March 18, 1949
Re:
Variations in Requirements, Courses and Credits in the Annual
Catalogs of State Teachers Colleges
The attention of this committee has been called repeatedly to
variations in the requirements, courses and credits as printed in the
different college catalogs.
The official statements are to be found on pages 1681 to 1720,
Journal of the' Proceedings of the Meetings of the Board of Presidents,
March 16, 1945, approved by the Board and the Superintendent of Public
Instruction, thus making this the official and legal basis on which
graduation and certification are predicated.
The committee recommends that each President compare his catalog
statement with the official record cited above to avoid embarrassment to
students.

Report of Fees Committee
Doctor Andruss, Chairman of the Fees Committee, submitted a report
involving a restatament of certain sections of the Uniform Fees, Deposits
and Repayments in the State Teachers Colleges. Item B, "Deposits - Advance
Registration Deposit" was restated deleting the phrase "through the Department of Revenue". This deletion follows the action of the General Assembly
in 1947. The Chairman of the Board advised that he would inform the
necessary officials of this change.
Doctor Andruss further called attention to Item II "Contingent Fee,
Section (b)", pointing out the advisability of changing the phrase "students
taking seven or fewer semester hours shall pay at the rate of $ 7.50 per
semester hour" to read "students taking SIX or fewer semester hours shall
pay at the rate of $7.50 per semester hour. He did not suggest action on
this matter at the present time but asked for comments on the suggestion.

Report of the Budget Committee
Doctor Noonan, Chairman of the Budget Committee, submitted the following report:
REPORT OF BUDGET COMMITTEE
March 18, 1949
Re:
Appropriations for Campus Laboratory Schools
On February 11, 1949, the Superintendent of Public Instruction
referred to the Budget Committee for study and report a proposed State
reimbursement schedule for campus laboratory schools, such proposal having
been reviewed at some length at a meeting of the Board of Presidents on
January 21, 1949.
A breakdown has been prepared showing the possible distribution
of moneys to be credited the different State Teachers Colleges if such a
plan were adopted.
Attention is called to the following analysis:
(l)
Provision has already been made in all budgets for the
cost of laboratory school operations.
-1913-
s
(2)
The practical effect of such a law will be a direct and
indirect increase of appropriations over and above the
amount approved by the General Assembly.
(3)
A flat distribution of $2000 a unit is at variance with
the principle of equalization based on need which is
applicable to the local school districts in which the
State Teachers Colleges are located.
It is recommended that no legislation covering this subject be
offered at the present session of the General Assembly and that further
study be given the problem.

that the report of the Budget Committee be approved.
In this connection, the Chairman of the Board stated that it was his
judgment that there should be some uniform procedure in the matter of contracts
with local school districts and that possibly legislation of some sort would
be necessary. He asked that the Budget Committee give further thought to
the problem in the light of the following:

director with t he services of a school psychologist available
for referral cases within the budgetary limitations of each
institution,
4.
It is further recommended that all teachers colleges administer
the preceding year's edition of the ACE Psychological Examination
to all applicants ranking below the middle of the high school
graduating class but that no standard critical score for rejec-
tion be established for all institutions; that this test also be
given to all other freshmen sometime during or before the first
semester and that the scores of all students be reported for
analysis to the Testing Committee of the Board of Presidents;
that this test constitute a minimum requirement for admission
and that schools wishing to establish other requirements for
admission shall be encouraged to do so.
5.
It is further recommended that an adequate and effective social
orientation course or program be given during the first semester
to all freshmen students,
6.

consisting of the (a) Cooperative English Test, (b) Contemporary
Affairs Test, and (c) General Culture Test, be reinstated on a
State-wide basis; and that all colleges share in the expense of
the preparation results.
7.
It is further recommended that the Committee encourage the use of
other tests such as English and reading, personality inventories,
general achievement, special aptitudes and others as part of the
admissions and advisory program,
S.
It is further recommended that the Committee be empowered to study
-1915-

copies of a Summary Report - Returns from Questionnaire on Admissions Policies
and Practices in Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges, The Board accepted
this report as a progress report.

admissions overlapped the field handled by the Testing Committee, a new
committee should be created entitled "The Admissions, Testing and Guidance
Committee", with the following membership:
Doctor Houk, Doctor Kriner,
Doctor Parsons, Doctor Van Houten, Doctor Biemesderfer, and Doctor Pratt,
Chairman,
The Chairman of the Board then referred the matter of admissions

B,
Eligibility Regulations for Athletic Competition
At the request of Doctor Noonan, the question as to whether

requested to check with the accrediting agencies to ascertain what
their policies are regarding this matter,

Iny 13, 19^9
Re:
Elective Courses Based on Bulletin 233-B, 19^9, The Elementary Course
of Study, and on Bulletin 2^2, 19^9, Educating for Citizenship
Your committee believes the two publications named above will
improve the public schools of the Commonwealth to the extent that teachers
in the classrooms understand and apply the philosophy and the practices
recommended in these bulletins.
The teachers colleges, as a part of the public school system,
have a definite obligation to promote the study of the elementary and
secondary curriculums and to support these studies with all their
resources.
Therefore, the committee recommends that each teachers college
offer free electives during the summer sessions and in extension classes:

C.
Report of Admissions, Testing and Guidance Committee
Doctor Pratt, Chairman of the Admissions, Testing and Guidance
Committee, presented the following report?
REPORT OF THE ADMISSIONS, TESTING, AND GUIDANCE COMMITTEE
l-2ay
13 , 19^9
At the meeting of the Board of Presidents held March IS, 19^9, the
Committee presented the results of a study of current testing practices in
the State Teachers Colleges of Pennsylvania. Since the last Board meeting
studies which deal with the problem of admissions to the State Teachers
Colleges have "been reviewed by your committee. On the basis of these studies,
the Committee wishes to present the following recommendations to the members
of the Board of Presidents for their consideration:
It is recommended that the functions of the Testing Committee be
1,
enlarged and that the Committee be known as the Committee on Admissions,
Testing and Guidance.
It is further recommended that the functions of this Committee
include the following:
2.
a.
To recommend changes in admissions policies where actual
study shows such changes to be desirable.
b.
To conduct state-wide 'testing programs and make results
available to each institution.
c.
To encourage the use of test results for making teaching
and learning more effective.
d.
To carry on a continuing study of the student personnel
program and to recommend desirable practices to the member
institutions.
Since present admissions requirements as set forth in the Minutes
3.
of the Board of Presidents, pages 129^-1925, adopted during the year 19381939, appear to be generally acceptable, the Committee believes that adherence
to these regulations by all institutions will correct variations in practices
which have caused misunderstandings.
It is further recommended that all teachers colleges administer
4.
the preceding year's edition of the ACE Psychological Examination to all
applicants ranking below the middle of the graduating class; that a distribution of scores of these tests for each curricula be reported to this
Committee of the Board of Presidents on or before November 1 of each year
and that the results of this study be reported to all member institutions.

It is further recommended that an adequate and effective social

orientation course or program bo offered during the first semester of each
college year to all freshmen students.
It is further recommended that the sophomore testing program, con6.
sisting of the (a) Cooperative English Test, (b) Contemporary Affairs Test,
and (c) General Culture Test, be reinstated on a state-wide basis; that the
results of these tests be used in the guidance program; and that all colleges
share in the expense of the preparation of the results.
It is further recommended that each college be permitted to employ
7.
a student guidance counselor or a student personnel director, with the services of a school psychologist available for referral cases, to assist with
admissions and guidance. The employment of such a staff member would be
determined by the budgetary limitations of each institution.
It is further recommended that the Committee be empowered to have
8.
studies made of the following problems:
a.
The evaluation of competency in all areas, both general
and special.
b.
Responsibility of the teachers colleges for placement and
follow-up as a part of the student personnel program

information regarding the offering of such courses should be sent to him

-1926-

Scholarships - Pennsylvania Congress of Parents and Teachers
Doctor Houk called attention to the Golden Jubilee Scholarships to
be awarded through the Pennsylvania Congress of Parents and Teachers. The
scholarships valued at $500 each ($125.00 per year for four years) would be
awarded to students preparing to teach in the elementary field. One student
in each institution would receive a scholarship. Doctor Houk explained briefly
the manner of applying for the scholarships and the manner in which they would
be awarded.
The Chairman of the Board then asked Doctor Houk, as the official
representative of the Board, to thank the organization for its generous offer
and to advise that the Board is very anxious to cooperate in this worthy program.
The Chairman also asked Doctor Houk to ascertain further details about the
matter, particularly with reference to publicity, the manner of submitting
the names of candidates, et cetera.
IC.
Anonymous Letters
Doctor Steele stated that copies of an anonymous letter have been
received by students in the institutions, particularly those preparing for
teaching in the elementary field. He stated that distribution of the letter
has been widespread among the institutions preparing teachers and that the
FBI and the postal authorities are checking the matter.
L.
Scholarship Bulletin
The Chairman of the Board called attention to a publication entitled
"Scholarships and Opportunities for Self-Help in Pennsylvania Colleges and
Universities", printed by the Department and available for distribution. He
advised that it was his understanding that there were scholarships available
in the institutions and scholarships available from other sources which are
not included in this bulletin. He asked that the Secretary send copies of
this bulletin to each President and requested that the bulletin be studied
carefully to make sure that all such scholarships were included. He asked
each President to advise the Secretary of any changes or omissions with
regard to his institution.
In this same connection, the Chairman asked the Fees Committee to
study the matter of variations in the listing of certain scholarships in
the institutions. He suggested that this probably was due to the manner
in which the scholarships are listed and not to actual variations in the
value of the scholarships. He asked for a report at the ne:rfc meeting of
the Board.
M.

Report of the Curricular and Credentials Committee
Doctor Steele, Chairman of the Curricular and Credentials Committee,
-1873-
presented the following report:
REPORT OE THE CURRICULA AND CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE
July 16, 1948
Re:
Extension of the Secondary Certificate to Include the Elementary Field
Your committee met on June 24 and 25, 1948, with Presidents Swope,
Van Houten and Steele in attendance. Doctor Klonower met with the committee.
A preliminary meeting was held with Doctors Cressman, Pond and
Powers in which the committee discussed with them the most desirable preparation for extending the secondary certificate to the elementary field. Many
helpful suggestions were made.
It was agreed that the practice of selecting
thirty hours indiscriminately from courses being pursued by freshmen,
sophomores and upper classmen was unsatisfactory and indefensible; that
students who have completed the requirements for the secondary certificate
are reasonably well selected, mature and qualified to do work on the graduate
level.
It was agreed that instruction should be sequential, unified and
planned on a graduate basis. It was felt that it should be done in close
contact with elementary teaching situations and that laboratory participation
It was agreed instead of merely listing required
and practice are essential.
the
most
hours
that
important areas of elementary activity and
courses and
be
selected
and
for each area the competencies expected
instruction should
should be listed.
The committee, while agreed that the worl: should be of graduate
level, was divided in its opinion as to whether graduate credit should be
given for this work in teachers colleges.
The committee agreed that two possibilities exist for giving
graduate credit and conferring a master's degree:
1.
Authorization of teachers colleges with adequate
staff and facilities to offer graduate work and
confer the degree.
2.
Cooperative arrangements with state aided or other
universities whereby a part of the work could be
offered at authorized teachers colleges, part at the
university, and the degree conferred by the university.
A combination of these two might furnish the most satisfactory
solution.
If graduate work should be approved and undertaken, the members
of the committee present were unanimous in the opinion that such work
should be offered only in the summer sessions in the teachers colleges.
Progress was made in the outline of the areas to be included and
-1874-
:
Doctor Powers submitted helpful suggestions and statements of objectives
The Chairman of the committee was authorised to submit the material
in the hands of the committee to elementary specialists designated by the
Presidents with a request for criticism and suggestion.
The committee believes the subject of this report is a matter of
vital importance to the elementary schools since the extension of the
secondary certificate may provide for several years the main source of

bulletins for the general advancement of the teaching

for each special approved curriculum - minutes of the
Board of Residents, I larch 15, 1940.)
The formats that we are using are also described.
The number of bulletins of one issue that each college can
publish is regulated by a formula consisting of the school population
of the college area.
The committee recommends a catalogue for each college not oftner
than one in a biennium. The number of copies for each school would be as
at present.
The number of copies permitted each biennium would be double
the number now permitted annually. The catalogue would be similar to the
present catalogue, but omitting curriculums and fees.
The following uniform bulletins would be issued as needed for the
use of all colleges:

Each school would have the privilege of issuing annually as
many different bulletins as are now permitted under the policy of
March 17, 1939* Bulletins 1, 2 and 3 would be credited as one bulletin.
This means that a college, by using a catalogue once in two years,
could issue one other of the permitted bulletins during one of those
years.

After some discussion, it was moved by Doctor Van Houten,

opportunity to study the report with care. The Board voted to table
the report.

Specifications and 3ids
Doctor Biemesderfer raised the question concerning the difficulty
experienced by the institutions in securing action on requisitions that have
been made for certain items. He ashed whether some procedure could be
developed by which greater speed could be attained, especially on requests
for needed repairs. The matter was discussed and the Chairman stated that
a letter would be sent to each institution concerning the matter.
B,
Additional Salary for College Personnel
Doctor Houle, who raised the question, stated that he had secured
an answer to this problem and since the matter was not one that required
further Board action, the item was removed from the Docket.

C.
Survey of Power Plants
Doctor Houk raised the question as to what the institutions might
expect regarding the survey of power plants. The Chairman stated that the
Pennsylvania State College was making the survey at the request of the
Governor and that each institution would be visited before the survey
was completed.
D.
Automobiles for Driver Training Courses
The matter of purchasing dual-control automobiles for use in the
Driver Training courses was discussed. The Chairman stated that if this
type of car was to be considered instructional material, then some means
should be found to purchase such cars. He stated that money had to be
appropriated by the General Assembly for such purchases and also that there
are certain legal implications that must be considered.
The question of securing money for gasoline and insurance was also
discussed.
In one institution, students pay for these items in the same
way that they buy textbooks, et cetera. After some discussion, the Chairman
referred the entire matter to the Fees Committee for consideration and a
report at the next meeting of the Board.
E.
Retirement Contributions
for Summer Sessions
Doctor Pratt raised the question as to whether instructors in the
State Teachers Colleges, employed during the summer sessions, might contribute
to the Retirement Fund for such employment.
At the request of the Chairman,
Mr. J. Y. Shambach, Secretary, Public School Employes' Retirement Board, met
with the Board to answer this question.
Mr. Shambach stated that if an employe in a State Teachers College
was employed for a period less than a month, such an employe coujd not
contribute to the Retirement Fund. An employe employed more than a month
may contribute.
There seemed to be some confusion regarding summer session employment especially because of the vise of the term "regular" summer session as
compared with pre-session and post-session. The Chairman of the Board
stated that it was his feeling that an instructor in a State Teachers
College should have the right to contribute on every period of service
whether it be one week or one month. He stated that he would ask a small
committee to study the matter and make clear the set-up in the State
Teachers Colleges and then would take the matter up with the Attorney
General.
F.
Summer Session Enrollment Reports
Inasmuch as there are a number of the State Teachers Colleges now
operating two six-week summer sessions instead of the traditional three weeks
pre-session, six weeks summer session, and three weeks post-session, the
Chairman asked the Secretary of the Board to develop a method of reporting
summer enrollments that would give a clear picture of the situation no
matter under which program the institutions operated.

G.
Budget Allocations
Doctor Noonan, Chair roan of the Budget Committee, stated tliat Doctor
Haas had asked his committee to review carefully the methods of making budget
allocations and to make any suggestions or improvements or, if the system seemed
to be wrong, to eliminate it entirely and replace it with a more effective
system. The Budget Committee met with Mr. McClure and the members were favorably

for allocations operated, Mr. McClure outlined the procedure to the Board.
After hearing Mr. McClure’s explanation of the system, the Board felt that the
present method of allocating available funds was equitable and fair.
Doctor Parsons suggested that it would be helpful if professional
services could be secured to develop probable costs of projects before such
were included in the budgets. The Chairman stated that a competent Superintendent of Grounds and Buildings could be of assistance in the development of
rough estimates of such costs and that it was hardly possible to furnish
sufficient personnel to review all such projects in all institutions.
At this time the Chairman stated that he would like to have the
3udget Committee and the Fees Committee continue in active service this summer.
He asked that any suggestions regarding budget matters be sent to Doctor Noonan,
Chairman of the Budget Committee, and suggestions with reference to fees be
sent to Mr. fndruss, Chairman of the Fees Committee,
H.
Committees of 3oards of Presidents
The Chairman advised the members of the Board that it seemed desirable
to rearrange membership on the standing committees and to eliminate the Summer
Sessions Committee. He advised that the Secretary would send to each President
the list of committees, together with the new membership,
I.
Progress Reports
The Chairman stated that a letter had been sent to all Presidents
requesting brief reports of progress during the second year of Governor Duff’s
administration. He asked that these reports be submitted at once to Doctor
Klonower since the final report was to be in the Governor's hands August 1, 1948,

the opinion that the matter of cooperation in the use of individual milk containers was a moral responsibility rather than a legal responsibility. The
Department of Agriculture has not taken the position that the use of such containers was mandatory but since private institutions have accepted the program

Mr. Bolla stated that from e legal point of view since agencies of

that the Secretary of the Board should renew membership in this organization.
The Board so voted .
N.
Surplus Property - Microscopes
Doctor Steele stated that the State Teachers Colleges had been
requested to indicate the number of microscopes needed should this type of
science equipment become available through the Area Colleges. He stated
that the requests were quite varied and in all cases the requests far
exceeded the probable supply. He stated that the matter would have to
be studied further and that if, and vhen, microscopes do become available,
some equitable method of distributon will be developed so that each
institution will get its fair share.

Report of Publications and Public Relations
Committee
Doctor Chandler, Chairman of the Publications and Public Relations
Committee, read a letter which he had received from Dr. S. Z, Stevens, State
Historian, regarding historical markers for State Teachers Colleges. Doctor
Chandler called special at tent on to the last paragraph of the letter which
is quoted as follows:
"Replying to your letter of November 22, I am sending you a copy of
our marker booklet listing all of our historical markers, and have
checked the index.
If you think it advisable, I would be glad to
send copies to all the State Teachers College presidents. The only
college markers placed to date are those for Allegheny College,
Buc knell University, Dickinson College, First State Normal (llillersville)
Linden Hall, The Pennsylvania State College, St. Vincent, Susquehanna
University, Uaynesburg College, and Westminster College.
It is our
feeling that each of these institutions has a special historical
significance.
"Ue have not embarked on any program for marking all the educational or
other institutions in the State.
I am aware that Virginia and other
states have a policy of placing markers at all institutions of an
educational or similar nature. Ue have been so busy with major
historical sites and locations, that we do not have time or fluids to
embark on this phase of the program. Any college which has been marked
so far has been called to our attention as possessing some special
historical significance in relation to the educational structure of
the State.
"Should any of the State Teachers Colleges fit into this pattern we
should be very pleased to hear directly form them or from you."
No action was taken on the report of the Publications and Public
Relations Committee.
D.
R e P° rJc 2± Special Committee on Salary Schedule
Doctor Noonan, Chairman of the Special Committee, stated that his
committee had complied considerable material and had met with the committee
representing the faculties of the institutions. He stated that his committee
would be in a position to present a formal report as soon as the Governor’s
budget message is made public.
E.
Report of the Calendar Committee
Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the Calendar Committee, advised that
the question submitted to his committee had been withdrawn and asked that
the item be removed from the Docket.

Report of Spec ial Committee on ROTC
Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the Special Committee on ROTC,
presented the following report:
REPORT OF THE SPECIAL
ON THE STATUS OF ROTC IN THE STATE
TEACHERS COLLEGES
COI-fiUTTEE
January 21, 1949
The Special Committee on ROTC met with Colonel Ben H. Chastaine and corresponded with Lieutenant General George E. Stratemeyer and General L. T. Gerow.
The Committee wishes to make the following report:
A.
The conference with Colonel Ben H. Chastaine, December 17, 1948, indicated
that:
1.
2.
3.
ROTC units under the direction of the Pennsylvania State College
are being operated at the State Teachers Colleges at California,
East Stroudsburg, Ediriboro, ICutztown, and Mansfield*
The State Teachers Colleges at Clarion and Slippery Rod: have
applied for units but ire re rejected "due to the lightness of
personnel".
"Lightness of Personnel" actually means the difficulty of procuring qualified instructors for additional branch
ROTC units.
Because of declining size it is possible that two of the five units
now operated in State Teachers Colleges will be discontinued. In
that event it is possible that a ROTC unit will be activated at
Clarion.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
B.
Additional ROTC units are needed in technical schools for ordnance,
signal corps, and engineers.
The policy of the Uar Department now suggests that an institution
to be considered favorably for the activation of a ROTC unit
should enroll 1000 men and that the membership of a unit should
total from 400 to 5 00 men.
Programs of the ROTC in our state teachers colleges will continue
to be confined to first year training.
A limited number of teacher education students have been allowed
to participate in existing ROTC units.
Generally speaking, facilities in the state teachers colleges are
reported to be superior to those available in so-called "Penn State
Centers".
All Penn State freshmen without GI status are required to participate in the ROTC program. The number of candidates for ROTC among
Penn State freshmen will increase until practically every freshman
will be enrolled.
The statement of Lieutenant General George E. Stratemeyer, as of
December 1 6, 1948, is quoted:
"I wish to acknowledge hour recent letter addressed to the Commanding General of my First Air Force at Fort Slocum, New York, expressing your interest in the establishment of Air Force ROTC units at
-1899-
t
nr
"
"
State Teachers Colleges.
"We have under enrollment at this time more than 22,000 freshmen
which appears to be a satisfactory number to meet our annual
officer production requirements. However, we will activate a few
units that can assure us an enrollment of approximately 450 students
in all classes who are preponderately matriculated in engineering
colleges or who are undertaking science majors.
"If in your opinion your colleges are in a position to meet these
basic requirements along with adequate administrative and storage
space, I will then take pleasure in requesting an Air Force officer
to call on you for the purpose of further discussion.
C#
Under date of September 23* 1948, General L. T, Gerow. of the Headquarters Second Army, Fort George G. Meade, Maryland, embodies these
tvti paragraphs in a letter addressed to Colonel Frederick A. Muhlenberg,
M.C.
"In order for regularly enrolled students at State Teachers College
of ICutztown to be given ROTC training, it will be necessary for the
institution to obtain a ROTC unit similar to the one now established
at Pennsylvania State College. However, prior to any action in this
respect, it is suggested that the approval of the Pennsylvania State
Department of Education be obtained after which I will be glad to
have a member of my staff call updn Dr, Rohrbach and offer such
assistance as he may wish in the preparation of an application for
a ROTC unit.
"I agree wholeheartedly with you that our youth should be given every
opportunity to participate in military training whenever they so
desire. To deny them this training is to deny our country one of
I regret very much
the necessary ingredients of national security.
that it is not within my power to permit the students in question to
take the training they wish.
D.
The committee will inquire further into this matter and will report again
at a later date.
Respectfully submitted
D. L. Biemesderfer
Harry L. ICriner
Q. A. IT, Rohrbach, Chairman
The Board accepted the report of the special committee on ROTC.
Ho formal action was taken on the matter.
G.
Report of the Testing Committee
Doctor Pratt, Chairman of the Testing Committee, stated that his
committee is completing a survey of current testing practices in the State
Teachers Colleges. Two institutions have not replied to the questionnaire.
-1900-
:
:
Doctor Pratt, in reporting for the committee, made the following
recommendations
1.
2.
3.
That no uniform testing program he required
That the Testing Committee as such he abolished
That a Committee on Student Personnel and Guidance he established
to study and make recommendations on the admission of students,
student guidance and personnel practices.
After considerable discussion, the Chairman of the Board suggested
that Doctor Pratt’s committee make a further study of the matter to ascertain
the following:
1.
2.
3.
Whether a uniform system of testing is desirable
The possibility of broadening the scope of the Testing Committee
through a change in name and purposes
The results of the questionnaire when replies form all the
institutions have been received.
The matter was continued on the Docket for a report at the next
meeting of the Board.
H.
Report of Committee on Expiration of GI Rights
Doctor Parsons, Chairman of the special committee, presented the
following report:

Mr. I. E. Axler, Research Officer, Veterans Administration,
Branch Office Ho. 3
The meeting was called because the fourteen State Teachers Colleges
deal with three different regional offices of the Veterans Administration.
The purpose of the meeting was to arrive at a uniform interpretation among
the colleges of the Veterans Administr at ion's regulations regarding the
expiration of entitlement of veteran students in the Pennsylvania State
Teachers Colleges.
- 1901
.
Each veteran is notified by the Veterans Administration regional
office at the beginning of each school year regarding the amount of entitlement remaining to his credit. A copy of this notification is sent to the
college at which he is enrolled. Furthermore, each veteran is notified by
the Veterans Administration three months before the expiration of his entitlement of the exact date upon which his entitlement will expire. A copy of this
notification is also sent to the college.
In any individual case, the college may refer the veteran to the
registration and Research Section of the regional office for information
regarding his entitlement. Furthermore, at the request of the college
the Chief of the Registration and Research Section of the regional office
will send a representative to the college to work out any problems in
entitlement.
Following are applications of the Veterans Administration regulations
regarding the expiration of entitlement, in cases of veterans enrolled in the
State Teachers Colleges of Pennsylvania:
1.
VA regulations provide that whenever the period of eligibility ends
during a semester after the midpoint of such semester the period of
entitlement will be extended to the termination of the unexpired
semester provided the customary charge of tuition does not exceed
the rate of $500 for the ordinary school year.
Example :
Veteran is enrolled for a semester of 18 weeks, cost of the semester is
The veteran has remaining entitlement of 10 weeks which is sufficient
$126.
The VA will pay for the
to carry him past the midpoint of the semester.
entire cost of tuition, fees, books and supplies for the semester.
2.
In the case where the veteran's remaining entitlement is not sufficient
to carry him past the midpoint of the semester, the VA will pay only
that proportionate part of the cost of tuition, fees, books and
supplies for the semester that the number of days of entitlement
bears to the number of calendar days in the semester.
Example :
The veteran is enrolled in a semester of 18 weeks, the cost of the semester
The verteran lias remaining entitlement of eight weeks which is
is $126.
not sufficient to carry him past the midpoint of the semester. The VA
will pay charges as follows:
,
8 weeks or 5 6 days
.
18 weeks or 126 days x ^126.00 = $56.00
.
3.
,
As indicated in paragraph 1 above, in the case where the semester is
18 weeks, if the veteran's remaining entitlement is nine weeks plus one
day, or greater, entitlement will be extended to the end of the
semester.
-1902-
k.
For those veterans in the Pre Session, Post Session or Regular Summer
Session, the Veterans Administration will pay the co3t of tuition fees,
"boohs and supplies when the veteran’s entitlement expires after the
midpoint of any of these summer sessions. However, if the veteran’s
entitlement expires "before the midpoint of any summer session, the
Veterans Administration will pay the proportionate part of these costs
that the number of days of remaining entitlement bears to the number
of calendar days in the session.
In a three-week session, the midpoint
is the eleventh day.
This may be illustrated by the following scale:
Three weeks

Vocational Teaching Aids
Doctor Cressman met with the Board and advised that there is
available certain visual instructional material such as film strips, cameras,
motion picture machines, et cetera. He suggested the possibility of the
State Teachers Colleges acting as agents for the State Board for Vocational
Education and setting up centers in the institutions for the distribution
of this visual material.
Several questions arose out of the discussion such as what cost,
born by the institutions; what personnel would be
required to maintain the centers; is the project a teacher education project;
and the lil:e? As a result of these questions, the Chairman of the Board
ashed that the Curricular and Credentials Committee meet with Doctor Cressman
to get as clear a picture as possible of all angles of the proposed project.
if any, would have to be
C.
Retirement Deductions for Cooperative Teachers
Doctor ICriner raised a question concerning a communication which
he had received concerning deductions to the School Employes* Retirement
Fund from salaries paid cooperative training teachers. The Chairman requested
Mr. J. Y. Shambach, Secretary, Public School Employes’ Retirement Board, to
answer the inquiry. Mr* Shambach stated that the Retirement Board had been
advised that deductions from extra pay for extra services could not be
accepted in the Retirement Fund. The Chairman stated that it was his feeling
that the salary paid to cooperative teachers was not extra pay for extra
service. He requested Doctor ICr iner to advise him in letter form of the
specific case under discussion. He further stated that he would secure
an opinion form the Department of Justice covering the question as to whether
deductions should be made by the Retirement Board for salaries paid to
cooperative teachers.
D.
Maintenance of Training School Facilities
Doctor Pratt submitted a preliminary study of a suggested amendment
to Act 515 which would provide appropriation for teachers employed in campus
laboratory schools in the amount of £2000 for each teaching unit. The amendment, in essence, is a follows:
"Every State Teachers College shall be paid by the Commonwealth
beginning with the school year 1$kQ-b9 and every school year thereafter on account of all pupils in average daily membership in the
training school maintained exclusively by the State Teachers College,
the sum of £2000 for each teaching unit. The number of teaching units
shall be determined as follows:
1.
Divide by twenty-two, the number of pupils in average daily
membership in the high school division of the training school
during the preceding term.
2.
Divide by thirty, the number of pupils in the elementary
division of the training school during the preceding school
term.
190lw
The Chairman advised the Board that the bill is being prepared
but before sponsorship is sought, all the implications of the proposal
should be carefully studied. The Chairman requested Doctor Pratt to
gather all such additional information on the matter as may be available.
E.
Distribution of Salaries
Doctor ICLonower distributed copies of a chart prepared from a
study made by Mr. McClure shoving the distribution of the salaries of some
seven hundred faculty members for the year 1947-1948. He advised that this
vas a preliminary copy for administrative use only. He suggested that a
refinement of the study might be made in each institution as veil as an
analysis for the year 1948-1949.
F.
Personal Interview Requirements for Student Admissions
Doctor Noonan raised the question regarding entrance requirements,
particularly in regard to personal interviews. He stated that while the
admission requirements are supposed to be uniform, the administration of
such requirements varies in each institution which makes it possible for a
student who is denied admission to one institution to be admitted to another
institution. The Chairman indicated that he would appoint a special committee
to make a complete study of this matter and report to the Board at the
next meeting.
G.
Health Institutes in State Teachers Colleges
Attention of the Board was called to a cooperative program between
the Department of Health and the Department of Public Instruction whereby
health and physical examations of all children of school age are being

asked Doctor Rohrbach, Chairman of the Calendar Committee, Doctor Cressman
and Doctor ICLonower to work out as soon as possible a tentative schedule
for these institutes which will begin in the Fall.
H.
Minutes of Meeting of Deans of Instruction
The minutes of the meeting of the Deans of Instruction were
called to the attention of the Board and specific reference made to
certain recommendations. It was moved by Doctor Biemesderfer, seconded by
Mr. Morgan, that the minutes be referred to the Curricular and Credentials
Committee for study and such action as seems appropriate. The Board so
voted.

Elementary Curriculum Conferences
Doctor Powers, Chief of Elementary Education, distributed certain
materials regarding proposed conferences to be held in the State Teachers
Colleges during April and May for the purpose of introducing a new course
of study bulletin, 233-B, and "Education for Citizenship".
She advised
that these meetings would be set up along the same lines as the sixteen
conferences held in the State Teachers Colleges some time ago. The
Presidents agreed to cooperate in the program and make available facilities
for the meetings. A tentative schedule was submitted. Doctor Powers ashed
each President to advise her immediately if the date selected for his
institution was not satisfactory. Sample copies of the program for the
conferences and the letter of invitation to be sent from the Department
of Public Instruction to the teachers and administrative officers in the
areas were also distributed. Doctor Powers ashed that the Presidents send
to her any comments or suggestions*
J.
Reports on Road Repairs and Desired land Purchases
Hr. McClure, Comptroller, called attention to the following two
items:
1.
A report to be sent to Doctor Haas on the necessary repairs to
roads on State-earned property for transmittal to the Secretary
of Highways for consideration in the wori: program for 1949-1950.
2.
A report on proposed land purchases for 1949-1951 to be sent to
Doctor Haas for transmittal to the Secretary of Property and
Supplies in order that the necessary investigations and appraisals
may be conducted.
Mr. McClure stated that these items had been requested some time
ago but that replies had not been received from all institutions. He ashed
that those institutions which have not yet submitted the reports to Doctor
Haas do so immediately.
IC.
Property and Uage Taxes
Hr. Stanley C. Fellows, Legal Adviser, reported on two matters
which had recently been brought to the attention of the Department of Public
Instruction by the State Teachers Colleges:
1.
The local authorities in Clarion, Pennsylvania, have served notice
on the Teachers College that three buildings located on the campus,
which were given to the College some time ago by the Public Housing
Administration and which are occupied by students who rent the same,
are being assessed for local taxation purposes. The matter was
referred to the Department of Justice and that Department is
corresponding with the local solicitor, taking the position that
under numerous court decisions the tax liability cannot be imposed
on the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, under the circumstances.
Ho reply has been received from the local solicitor and, therefore,
the same has not as yet been concluded.
-1906-
2.
The Bloomsbury State Teachers College advised the Department
of Public Instruction that the Borough of Catawissa had adopted
an ordinance imposing a wage tax on residents of the Borough.
The question was, therefore, as to whether or not the ordinance
could be made to apply to an employe of the Bloomsbury State
Teachers College who resided in Catawissa.
The matter was referred to the Department of Justice which advised
that employes of the Commonwealth would be liable for the tax the
same as other local residents. However , it was pointed out that
Act ITo. 48l of the 1947 session of the General Assembly, under
which the ‘tax was levied, is not sufficiently broad to compel
State institutions either to collect and deliver the tax or to
furnish a list of Comonwealth employes for the purpose of
assessing such tax.
In order to clarify this opinion further, the Chairman of the
Board asked Mr. Fellows to seel: advice on the following points:
1.
Has the State Teachers College as an agency of the State any
responsibility or authority to collect the taxes and turn them
over to the town?
2.
Does the institution have the responsibility to give, on
official request, the amount of money earned by the resident?
The Chairman of the Board advised the Presidents to submit any
questions or comments to Mr. Fellows.
L.
Repair Projects
Members of the Board brought to the attention of the Chairman
the fact that there was considerable delay on repair projects contrary
to the general understanding that all such projects involving less
expenditure than $4000 could be cleared in accord with a special
procedure.
In view of
the Chairman felt it

PROCEDURE FOR EXTENDING A SECONDARY CERTIFICATE TO THE ELEMENTARY FIELD
The types of courses appropriate for this purpose were reviewed and
distinctions were drawn between those courses dealing specifically with elementary education and those other courses which are general in nature. Mention

hours in elementary education, namely, Visual Education and History of the

DEFINITION OF "A BASIC COURSE IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES AND PENNSYLVANIA
1
A number of the courses offered for meeting this requirement were reviewed in order to reach an understanding of the type of course acceptable in
meeting the requirement in this field of the State Council of Education.
It
was agreed that courses whose titles designated them as referring to a short
period or a single aspect of American History were not appropriate. Such courses
as "The Critical Period in American History" or "History of the Westward Movement"
or "Diplomatic History of the United States" or "Naval History of the United States"
or "Influence of Slavery" are not basic courses which could be used in meeting the
history requirement. This also applies to "History of Pennsylvania". Attention
was called to the fact that students frequently enroll in a class to take the
History of Pennsylvania when they desire to meet the requirement of a basic course
Unfortunately , the requirement

of the State Council of Education is popularly referred to as "History of Pennsylvania". This misapprehension has led to a great many disappointments on the part
of those who thought they were meeting certification requirements through a course

Council would be considered satisfied by a student who had completed either
"History of United States from 1*1-92 to 1865 " or "History of United States from
1865 to Date".
WHAT COURSES ARE "GERMANE TO TEACHING TECHNIQUES" AND MAY BE USED BY EXPERIENCED
TEACHERS AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR STUDENT TEACHING?
Any course in the methods or techniques of teaching in the elementary
school may be used for this purpose. These courses may be general in nature or
may refer to any single subject or group of subjects.
EVALUATION OF NORMAL SCHOOL CREDITS FOR ADVANCED STANDING

matter has assumed renewed importance during the last year or two because of the
incentive in Act 515 for advancing from the standard grade of certification to
the college level of certification. The applicants for the non-standard evaluation present educational histories of many different types. Some have not attended
high school at all but have entered the normal school after completing the eighth
grade in a local school system; others have completed work in small high schools
which are now out of existence or from which records are impossible to procure;
and others have completed in local normal schools courses which were intended to
prepare the student for successful completion of examinations for a certificate.
It was the sentiment of the deans that the present facilities for evaluating secondary school preparation are adequate and that recognition is given to
wider variety of education background than was formerly the case. The State
Teachers Colleges are in a position to evaluate more realistically the value and

the successor institution, the State Teachers College.
It was therefore moved and
seconded that recommendation "be made to the Board of Presidents to discontinue the
non-standard evaluation in favor of a secondary school evaluation by the Secondary
Credentials Evaluation Division and an evaluation of normal school credits be the
State Teachers Colleges. This motion was passed.
BASIC TRAINING AND ITS RELATION TO CREDIT FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Veterans are permitted, in a number of institutions, to omit classes
in physical education on the basis of basic training in the Armed Forces.
There
seems to be little uniformity of practice in this respect.
The discussion concerning the credit for physical education brought
again to consideration a matter on which the deans have made recommendations on
several previous occasions. The following recommendation was adopted and is
respectfully referred to the Board of Presidents for thair consideration and for
any action thereon that they may consider advisable:
"It is moved that the required health and physical education
be limited to two years in the secondary and elementary curricula, with the addition of a required two semester hour
course in teaching of health for students in the elementary
curricula.
PRACTICES RELATING TO ADMISSION OF STUDENTS IN TEE LOWER HALF OF THEIR HIGH
SCHOOL GRADUATING CLASS
Procedure for admission of students from the lower half of the secondary school graduate class differs from one institution to another. In cases
where the limit of enrollment is met by the admission of applicants from the
upper half, this problem does not present itself. Where the limit students is not

but a number of deans cited instances in which students admitted from the lower
half of the graduating class excelled those who were admitted by certificate
from the upper half of the graduating class. Some deans express sentiments in
favor of administering examinations to all applicants.
PROCEDURE RE:
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION TO STATE TEACHERS COLLEGES
A canvass of the deans indicated that students are admitted to state
teachers colleges if they have completed a curriculum in an approved secondary
school and have attained a rani; in the upper half of the secondary school graduating class. Eight institutions also require a personal interview before a student may be admitted, and one requires a physical examination.
A discussion developed concerning the kind and severity of physical

that the Board of Presidents should consider this natter and adopt a policy
which should guide actions in determining whether a physically handicapped
student should be admitted to the institutions as a student.
UNIFORM STATEMENTS RE:
COURSES IN CATALOGUES
Several minor differences occurring in the catalogs of the various
institutions were noted but there was no divergence of consequence.

ABSENCE FROM CLASSES ON THE PART OF TEACHERS

PRACTICES RELATING TO CLOCK HOUR LOAD AND STUDENT LOAD FOR TEACHERS
Discussion disclosed a varity of practices with regard to clock hour
load and student load, with clock hour load receiving most attention. Standards
which the institutions try to meet is a class load of eighteen semester hours of
recitation and lecture or twenty-four hours of laboratory work.
RULES FOR ADMITTING PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE STUDENTS
The conclusion of the deans on this matter indicated that students
enrolled with the Pennsylvania State Colleges attending classes at a cooperating institution should meet the requirements of the Pennsylvania State
College and be admitted to the state teachers college only upon evidence of
acceptance by the Pennsylvania State College, Such students are not expected
to sign the enrollment forms which are usually signed by students of the state
teachers colleges.

It is evident that the state teachers colleges have been compelled to retrench in their extension classes and that they have thereby denied in-service
training in teacher education to large numers of teachers in their area who are
interested in taking various courses for earning degrees and for upgrading their
certificates.
It was the general sentiment of the meeting that this matter should be
referred to the Board of Presidents for their consideration with the added problem
of the advisability of adding graduate courses on a part-time and simmer basis to
those teachers who wish to earn the Master’s Degree in order that they may improve
their teaching service and obtain the additional compensation provided by law.
DESIRABILITY FOR EXCHANGE OF DIFORMATION CONCERNING SUMMER SESSION OFFER DIGS
A number of the deans arranged, upon an area basis, to advise each other
of their summer session offerings 90 that duplications may be avoided and that
certain courses which are not in great demand may be offered in at least one institution in the area so that teachers may have the opportunity of obtaining the
work they need. A great many teachers find that their progress toward the extension
of their certificate to an additional area is blocked because certain necessary
courses are not available any where.
EXTRA-CURE ICULAE PARTIC IPATION
There was an exchange of information concerning the practices in the
various institutions relating to the requirement for student participation in

Re:
Loan Libraries for Audio-Visual Aids and Equipment in State Teachers
Colleges
Your committee has considered the proposal to establish loan libraries
for the distribution of films and audio-visual aids and equipment now on hand
or to be purchased in the future by the State Board for Vocational Education*

Each institution will establish and maintain a visual aids loan
library for the public schools and other agencies conducting
vocational and practical arts educational activities within the
normal geographical area of the institution,
2.
The State Board for Vocational Education will transfer to each
institution on memorandum receipt a proportionate share of all
audio-visual aids and equipment now on hand or to be purchased
in the future,
3.
Each college will organize and administer the loan library and
collect fees with the intent of maintaining a self-supporting
service,
4.
Service charges shall not exceed one dollar ($1,00) per reel per
weekly loan plus transportation and insurance coverage, except
that profit organizations may be charged two dollars ($2,00) per
reel plus transportation and insurance. Fees shall be set to cover
cost of supervision, clerical assistance, inspection, handling and
storage facilities,
5.
In no case shall films or equipment be loaned where any fee whatsoever is charged for admission,

Re:
Variations in Requirements, Courses and Credits in the Annual

The attention of this committee has been called repeatedly to
variations in the requirements, courses and credits as printed in the
different college catalogs.
The official statements are to be found on pages 1681 to 1720,
Journal of the' Proceedings of the Meetings of the Board of Presidents,
March 16, 1945, approved by the Board and the Superintendent of Public
Instruction, thus making this the official and legal basis on which
graduation and certification are predicated.

students.

Doctor Andruss, Chairman of the Fees Committee, submitted a report
involving a restatament of certain sections of the Uniform Fees, Deposits

in 1947. The Chairman of the Board advised that he would inform the
necessary officials of this change.
Doctor Andruss further called attention to Item II "Contingent Fee,
Section (b)", pointing out the advisability of changing the phrase "students
taking seven or fewer semester hours shall pay at the rate of $ 7.50 per
semester hour" to read "students taking SIX or fewer semester hours shall

Re:
Appropriations for Campus Laboratory Schools
On February 11, 1949, the Superintendent of Public Instruction
referred to the Budget Committee for study and report a proposed State
reimbursement schedule for campus laboratory schools, such proposal having
been reviewed at some length at a meeting of the Board of Presidents on
January 21, 1949.
A breakdown has been prepared showing the possible distribution
of moneys to be credited the different State Teachers Colleges if such a
plan were adopted.
Attention is called to the following analysis:
(l)
Provision has already been made in all budgets for the
cost of laboratory school operations.
-1913-
s
(2)
The practical effect of such a law will be a direct and
indirect increase of appropriations over and above the
amount approved by the General Assembly.
(3)
A flat distribution of $2000 a unit is at variance with
the principle of equalization based on need which is
applicable to the local school districts in which the
State Teachers Colleges are located.
It is recommended that no legislation covering this subject be
offered at the present session of the General Assembly and that further
study be given the problem.

The following report of the Testing Committee is submitted as the
result of considerable study of current testing practices in the State
Teachers Colleges of the Commonwealth. Staff members responsible for the
testing program in the five institutions whose Presidents comprise the
Testing Committee submitted recommendations following a meeting held at
the Indiana State Teachers College on March 9, 1949, These recommendations
were further considered by the Testing Committee resulting in the following
proposals for consideration of the Board of Presidents:
1,
It is recommended that the functions of the Testing Committee
-1914-

be enlarged and that the Committee be known as the Committee
on Testing and Guidance.
2.
It is further recommended that the functions of this Committee
include the following:
3.
a.
To arrange all State-wide testing programs and make
results available to each institution,
b.
To encourage the use of test results for making
teaching and learning more effective,
c.
To carry on a continuing study of the student
personnel program and to suggest desirable practices
to member institutions.
It is further recommended that each college be permitted to
employ a full-time guidance counsellor or student personnel
director with t he services of a school psychologist available
for referral cases within the budgetary limitations of each
institution,
4.
It is further recommended that all teachers colleges administer
the preceding year's edition of the ACE Psychological Examination
to all applicants ranking below the middle of the high school
graduating class but that no standard critical score for rejec-
tion be established for all institutions; that this test also be
given to all other freshmen sometime during or before the first
semester and that the scores of all students be reported for
analysis to the Testing Committee of the Board of Presidents;
that this test constitute a minimum requirement for admission
and that schools wishing to establish other requirements for
admission shall be encouraged to do so.
5.
It is further recommended that an adequate and effective social
orientation course or program be given during the first semester
to all freshmen students,
6.
It is further recommended that the s.ophomore: testing program,
consisting of the (a) Cooperative English Test, (b) Contemporary
Affairs Test, and (c) General Culture Test, be reinstated on a
State-wide basis; and that all colleges share in the expense of
the preparation results.
7.
It is further recommended that the Committee encourage the use of
other tests such as English and reading, personality inventories,
general achievement, special aptitudes and others as part of the
admissions and advisory program,
S.
It is further recommended that the Committee be empowered to study
-1915-

Re:
Elective Courses Based on Bulletin 233-B, 19^9, The Elementary Course
of Study, and on Bulletin 2^2, 19^9, Educating for Citizenship
Your committee believes the two publications named above will
improve the public schools of the Commonwealth to the extent that teachers
in the classrooms understand and apply the philosophy and the practices
recommended in these bulletins.
The teachers colleges, as a part of the public school system,
have a definite obligation to promote the study of the elementary and
secondary curriculums and to support these studies with all their
resources.
Therefore, the committee recommends that each teachers college
offer free electives during the summer sessions and in extension classes:

Re:

The Committee on Special Salary Schedule held two meetings
1.
and reviewed in detail the salary schedules, qualifications, and regulations
for the faculties of state teachers colleges in this and other states with
particular attention to the Salary Schedule now in effect in Pennsylvania
and its possible modification.
There were pronounced differences of opinion among members
2.

C.
Report of Admissions, Testing and Guidance Committee
Doctor Pratt, Chairman of the Admissions, Testing and Guidance
Committee, presented the following report?
REPORT OF THE ADMISSIONS, TESTING, AND GUIDANCE COMMITTEE
l-2ay
13 , 19^9
At the meeting of the Board of Presidents held March IS, 19^9, the
Committee presented the results of a study of current testing practices in
the State Teachers Colleges of Pennsylvania. Since the last Board meeting
studies which deal with the problem of admissions to the State Teachers
Colleges have "been reviewed by your committee. On the basis of these studies,
the Committee wishes to present the following recommendations to the members
of the Board of Presidents for their consideration:
It is recommended that the functions of the Testing Committee be
1,
enlarged and that the Committee be known as the Committee on Admissions,
Testing and Guidance.
It is further recommended that the functions of this Committee
include the following:
2.
a.
To recommend changes in admissions policies where actual
study shows such changes to be desirable.
b.
To conduct state-wide 'testing programs and make results
available to each institution.
c.
To encourage the use of test results for making teaching
and learning more effective.
d.
To carry on a continuing study of the student personnel
program and to recommend desirable practices to the member
institutions.
Since present admissions requirements as set forth in the Minutes
3.
of the Board of Presidents, pages 129^-1925, adopted during the year 19381939, appear to be generally acceptable, the Committee believes that adherence
to these regulations by all institutions will correct variations in practices
which have caused misunderstandings.
It is further recommended that all teachers colleges administer
4.
the preceding year's edition of the ACE Psychological Examination to all
applicants ranking below the middle of the graduating class; that a distribution of scores of these tests for each curricula be reported to this
Committee of the Board of Presidents on or before November 1 of each year
and that the results of this study be reported to all member institutions.

.
It is further recommended that an adequate and effective social
5.
orientation course or program bo offered during the first semester of each
college year to all freshmen students.
It is further recommended that the sophomore testing program, con6.
sisting of the (a) Cooperative English Test, (b) Contemporary Affairs Test,
and (c) General Culture Test, be reinstated on a state-wide basis; that the
results of these tests be used in the guidance program; and that all colleges
share in the expense of the preparation of the results.
It is further recommended that each college be permitted to employ
7.
a student guidance counselor or a student personnel director, with the services of a school psychologist available for referral cases, to assist with
admissions and guidance. The employment of such a staff member would be
determined by the budgetary limitations of each institution.
It is further recommended that the Committee be empowered to have
8.
studies made of the following problems:
a.
The evaluation of competency in all areas, both general
and special.
b.
Responsibility of the teachers colleges for placement and
follow-up as a part of the student personnel program

awarded to students preparing to teach in the elementary field. One student
in each institution would receive a scholarship. Doctor Houk explained briefly
the manner of applying for the scholarships and the manner in which they would
be awarded.

representative of the Board, to thank the organization for its generous offer
and to advise that the Board is very anxious to cooperate in this worthy program.

this bulletin to each President and requested that the bulletin be studied
carefully to make sure that all such scholarships were included. He asked
each President to advise the Secretary of any changes or omissions with
regard to his institution.
In this same connection, the Chairman asked the Fees Committee to
study the matter of variations in the listing of certain scholarships in

value of the scholarships. He asked for a report at the ne:rfc meeting of
the Board.
