THE EDINBOEO QUAETERLY
When Teaching Was Not a Profession
About ten years ago, a text-book, that was strongly recommended by
county superintendents and others as a valuable aid in professional
training read, “Teaching is telling.” About the same time a prominent
educator of “The Old School” said, “To teach is to explain, to explain,
and to explain.” “But”, he added, “That is not enough—you must
always keep in a good humor.”
The above, given as good advice, might be helpful to any teacher.
But we must draw the conclusion that the subject was considered par.amount and the child secondary. The inference might also be that he
who knows facts and has a pleasing and convincing address is equipped
for teaching.
The time was, when facts were made the sole test of a candidate’s
fitness to teach. I mean facts of subject matter gleaned from text-books.
Facts were sufficient, unless we consider physical prowess and sometimes
vindictiveness.
Those were the days when teaching was not a profession. The days
when the word, “professor”, was in the making, and was earning tiie
reputation that brings the blood-tinge to the cheek of the real teacher
when used in connection with his name. Those were the days when the
blacksmith, the butcher, or the undertaker could talk as intelligently
and as fluently of school work as could , the teacher. Those were the
days when he had no professional vocabulary—none was needed, teach
ing was neither a science, an art, nor a profession. Those were the days
when the best we had was opinion—opinion that men lavished profusely
and recklessly. And the opinion of one was about as enlightening as the
opinion of another.
)
Teaching a Profession
The day of opinion is not gone, but it is going. When the superin
tendent meets his board tonight, he speaks not in terms of his opinion
but of fact. The difference between opinion and fact is—opinion is
what HE believes, and his board may agree or disagree; fact is what
BOTH he and his board MUST believe.
The modern superintendent tells his board the per cent of children
in the schools who are average, above, or below, in ability to do work.
The per cent and also the names of those who are normal, accelerated,
and retarded. He tells how the children in his schoo's compare in
scholarship and progress with those in New York, Baltimore or San
Francisco. He tells which grades in the same school are making the
most commendable progress, and has a standard scale of achievement
by which he may judge the work of his teachers.

The Contributions of the Last Decade
One encouraging difference that may be noticed in the present as
opposed to the past—a difference that is manifest in the attitude of
superintendent to school board, principal to teacher, and teacher to
children—is a sureuess of fact, that is to large extent attributable to
what we may call The Four (treat Contributions of the last decade. To
be sure they are not new as to origin, but are in respect to use. The
contributions are;
EDUCATIONAL TESTS AND MEASUEEMENTS.
THE SOCIALIZED EECIT.-\TION.
THE PEO.IECT METHOD.
SUPEEVISED STUDY.
ADA EVEIiYSr JONES
Director of Training School, and
Siipt. of Kdinhoro Fnbllc Schools
Just as truly as the trained physician reads the scale of the ther
mometer, places the stethoscope to the heart, and determines the condi
tion of health and amount of strength before he ministers to the physical
welfare, so the trained teacher equipped with modern Educational Tests
and Measurements and skilled in their use, may, with a fair degree of
certainty, determine the child’s ability to do work and also the results
of work attempted.

THE EDINBOBO QUABTEBLY
The socialized recitation, the project method, and modern methods
of supervised study have added much to the efficiency of school work;
not only by increasing interest in work through motivation, but by
reducing the best that the world knows of the art of teaching to a
system that may be studied and can be acquired.

EDINBORO’S TRAINING PLAN
The training school is the heart of the normal school. It is the
consummating application of all the theory and science taught in the
other classrooms. It is the laboratory for acquiring the necessary skill
in teaching. It is the testing room in which students aud faculty test
the newer theories to ascertain the tacts. A student desiring to be
trained as an automobile driver or an air pilot would investigate with
care the facilities for actual practice in driving or flying. A person
desiring .0 learn to swim would investigate not only the opportunities
for studying theory and science, but more carefully the facilities for
practice. The medical student selecting a school in which to learn the
science and acquire the skill required in modern surgery, looks carefully
at the facilities offered in clinic and hospital. The prospective toa,eher
will likewise do well to select a training school which offers both reliable
instruction and sufticieiit and satisfactory facilities for apprentice
teaching.
The Pennsylvania Plan
The Poniisylvania plan for student teaching requires that W hours
each week, in the third semester of the four-semester curricula, shall be
devoted directly to teaching. It provides that part of this time shall
be given to observation of good teaching and to conferences in which
the exercise the class may have observed may be discussed. The ideal
arrangement for one desiring to acquire skill in teaching is one in which
the introduction to the actual teaching was made gradually, accompanied
by vigorous and careful study of the theory and culminated in an experi
ence in which the student teacher carries the full load of a school day.
It has bothered colleges of education aud normal schools to provide this
simple arrangement for a large group of students. There are many
mechanical difficulties of administration in the way. The rights of the
children in the training school must be conserved and their training im
proved. Thev must not be divided into too many small groups or given
too frequent change of teachers. Not all seniors in any group are ready
to udertake actual teaching at the same time or to the same degree. The
introduction should differ for different individuals. The length of the
time required for one student to become reasonably skillful in the
teaching process may be much shorter than for others in the same group.
At Edinboro, the Pennsylvania plan has been put into operation with
such modifications as realize an almost ideal arrangement.
10
THE EDINBOBO QUAETEELY
The Application at Edinboro
The student teachers are divided into four groups, in accordance
with the State curricula. One group is preparing to teach the primary
grades, a second group is preparing to teach in the intermediate grades,
a third group is preparing for the junior high school positions and the
fourth group aims to become rural teachers. We will follow the primary
group in describing the Edinboro plan. The director of this group is also
the supervisor of the primary departments in the training school. The
director is also instructor in most of the classes dealing with the tech
nique of the teaching in primary grades.
During the first part of the teaching semester, a class in primary
theory meets regularly before nine o ’clock each morning. From nine till
four, the day is left entirely free for appentice teaching, observation and
resulting conferences. At the close of the eleventh week, the morning
class in the theory is finished and the entire day, with the exception of
a physical education class three days a week, late in the afternoon, is
open for teaching engagements.
At the beginning of the semester, the director of the primary group
will select some simple teaching exercise and arrange for her group of
students to observe it. This will be preceded by conferences in which
the director will stress the things that she wishes attended to, and the
observation period may be followed by other conferences in which the
exercise is discussed. Such conferences will necessarily be very numerous
during the first part of the semester. The observation exercise may be
any in the entire training school which the director wishes the group to
see. Gradually, however, the work will be more and more confined to
the three lower grades. As the class grows in proficiency, the observa
tion periods will increase and the conferences decrease.
The director, watching individual students, will place them one by
one in actual teaching positions. Their duties may be simple at first
becoming more complex and more difficult as the student grows in
experience. Those most mature, better gifted, or possessing some teach
ing experience will be the first to assume the larger teaching responsi
bilities. This teaching is given in the training school connected with
the normal school. All teachers in the Edinboro training school are
specially trained and qualified to act as training school teachers, or, as
they were formerly called critic teachers. The work of the critic teacher
is directed t^y the group supervisor so that the initial training experiences
of the youn^ student teachers are given under controlled situations. The
EDINBORO

THE EDINBOEO QUAETEELY
constant endeavor of training teachers, supervisors and training school
superintendent is to present to the student superior teaching in all
exercises. The old term model school teaching expressed this purpose.
Though the teaching cannot always merit the characterization of model,
yet it is superior in quality and method.
At the close of this experience in the training school, which will
extend through eleven weeks, or longer if necessary, the young student
teacher is ready for a final field experience. The field experience differs
from the training school experience in that it is given in a school room
in which the situations are controlled not by normal school supervisors
but by superintendents, principals and teachers in an actual public school
system. All field experience will be under conditions similar to those
the students will actually find in their grade positions. Edinboro has the
very fortunate opportunity, in this field work, of placing her student
teachers in the public schools of Erie. Edinboro is but an hour’s ride
from Erie on the trolley line and the students will commute from Bdinboro during the period of field experience. It is planned to assign but
one cadet at a time to any teacher. This cadet will act in the relation of
an apprentice, gradually assuming a larger share in the work of the
master teacher. Before the field experience is completed, the cadet will
be placed on the list of substitute teachers in the schools of Erie. As
such, many of them will be given full responsibility of a complete public
school position. The excellence of the public schools of Erie with their
complete grading and modern methods will enrich this final experience.
The training, under controlled situation at Edinboro, is in the borough
schools and presents typical Pennsylvania village and borough condi
tions. This year, graduates will thus have had a gradual introduction to
the problems of actual teaching in the controlled situation, typical of
Pennsylvania’s rural villages and finishing with field experiences in a
strong system of city school.
Those who are fitting themselves for positions in consolidated rural
schools will have the initial experience in the training school at Edin
boro and their final field experience in the consolidated rural school at
McLane, with which the normal school maintains co-operative relations.
The introduction of the apprentice to the school room has been
gradual through the simpler exercises to the more complex, through short
periods to a complete day’s program. The program has been so arranged
as to permit observation and experience in any of the school exercises
which occur during the regular school day. All conflicting class engage
ments have been eliminated. The apprentice teaching has been placed
upon an individual basis and final experience has been under actual field
conditions. The amount of time required by the Pennsylvania curriculum

is 15 hours per week. The Edinboro plan makes available 30 hours per
week and will probably use fully 20 hours of this time, or a total of 360
hours during the semester for the all-important work of apprentice
teaching.
This is the first year for the operation of the Edinboro plan and it
is still too early to know final results. The first few months of the plan
have been most gratifying. It is believed that Edinboro graduates will
find themselves particularly fortunate in the vital experience of teacher
training through practice and will be able to look back upon the normal
school career as training which gave them practical application and
developing power in the art of teaching, combining scientific fact, theory
and application in one harmonious whole worthy the name of the art of
teaching, one of the highest and most difficult of crafts, as it is one of
the most important.

THE EDINBOEO QUAETERLY
When Teaching Was Not a Profession
About ten years ago, a text-book, that was strongly recommended by
county superintendents and others as a valuable aid in professional
training read, “Teaching is telling.” About the same time a prominent
educator of “The Old School” said, “To teach is to explain, to explain,
and to explain.” “But”, he added, “That is not enough—you must
always keep in a good humor.”
The above, given as good advice, might be helpful to any teacher.
But we must draw the conclusion that the subject was considered par.amount and the child secondary. The inference might also be that he
who knows facts and has a pleasing and convincing address is equipped
for teaching.
The time was, when facts were made the sole test of a candidate’s
fitness to teach. I mean facts of subject matter gleaned from text-books.
Facts were sufficient, unless we consider physical prowess and sometimes
vindictiveness.
Those were the days when teaching was not a profession. The days
when the word, “professor”, was in the making, and was earning tiie
reputation that brings the blood-tinge to the cheek of the real teacher
when used in connection with his name. Those were the days when the
blacksmith, the butcher, or the undertaker could talk as intelligently
and as fluently of school work as could , the teacher. Those were the
days when he had no professional vocabulary—none was needed, teach
ing was neither a science, an art, nor a profession. Those were the days
when the best we had was opinion—opinion that men lavished profusely
and recklessly. And the opinion of one was about as enlightening as the
opinion of another.
)
Teaching a Profession
The day of opinion is not gone, but it is going. When the superin
tendent meets his board tonight, he speaks not in terms of his opinion
but of fact. The difference between opinion and fact is—opinion is
what HE believes, and his board may agree or disagree; fact is what
BOTH he and his board MUST believe.
The modern superintendent tells his board the per cent of children
in the schools who are average, above, or below, in ability to do work.
The per cent and also the names of those who are normal, accelerated,
and retarded. He tells how the children in his schoo's compare in
scholarship and progress with those in New York, Baltimore or San
Francisco. He tells which grades in the same school are making the
most commendable progress, and has a standard scale of achievement
by which he may judge the work of his teachers.

The Contributions of the Last Decade
One encouraging difference that may be noticed in the present as
opposed to the past—a difference that is manifest in the attitude of
superintendent to school board, principal to teacher, and teacher to
children—is a sureuess of fact, that is to large extent attributable to
what we may call The Four (treat Contributions of the last decade. To
be sure they are not new as to origin, but are in respect to use. The
contributions are;
EDUCATIONAL TESTS AND MEASUEEMENTS.
THE SOCIALIZED EECIT.-\TION.
THE PEO.IECT METHOD.
SUPEEVISED STUDY.
ADA EVEIiYSr JONES
Director of Training School, and
Siipt. of Kdinhoro Fnbllc Schools
Just as truly as the trained physician reads the scale of the ther
mometer, places the stethoscope to the heart, and determines the condi
tion of health and amount of strength before he ministers to the physical
welfare, so the trained teacher equipped with modern Educational Tests
and Measurements and skilled in their use, may, with a fair degree of
certainty, determine the child’s ability to do work and also the results
of work attempted.

THE EDINBOBO QUABTEBLY
The socialized recitation, the project method, and modern methods
of supervised study have added much to the efficiency of school work;
not only by increasing interest in work through motivation, but by
reducing the best that the world knows of the art of teaching to a
system that may be studied and can be acquired.

EDINBORO’S TRAINING PLAN
The training school is the heart of the normal school. It is the
consummating application of all the theory and science taught in the
other classrooms. It is the laboratory for acquiring the necessary skill
in teaching. It is the testing room in which students aud faculty test
the newer theories to ascertain the tacts. A student desiring to be
trained as an automobile driver or an air pilot would investigate with
care the facilities for actual practice in driving or flying. A person
desiring .0 learn to swim would investigate not only the opportunities
for studying theory and science, but more carefully the facilities for
practice. The medical student selecting a school in which to learn the
science and acquire the skill required in modern surgery, looks carefully
at the facilities offered in clinic and hospital. The prospective toa,eher
will likewise do well to select a training school which offers both reliable
instruction and sufticieiit and satisfactory facilities for apprentice
teaching.
The Pennsylvania Plan
The Poniisylvania plan for student teaching requires that W hours
each week, in the third semester of the four-semester curricula, shall be
devoted directly to teaching. It provides that part of this time shall
be given to observation of good teaching and to conferences in which
the exercise the class may have observed may be discussed. The ideal
arrangement for one desiring to acquire skill in teaching is one in which
the introduction to the actual teaching was made gradually, accompanied
by vigorous and careful study of the theory and culminated in an experi
ence in which the student teacher carries the full load of a school day.
It has bothered colleges of education aud normal schools to provide this
simple arrangement for a large group of students. There are many
mechanical difficulties of administration in the way. The rights of the
children in the training school must be conserved and their training im
proved. Thev must not be divided into too many small groups or given
too frequent change of teachers. Not all seniors in any group are ready
to udertake actual teaching at the same time or to the same degree. The
introduction should differ for different individuals. The length of the
time required for one student to become reasonably skillful in the
teaching process may be much shorter than for others in the same group.
At Edinboro, the Pennsylvania plan has been put into operation with
such modifications as realize an almost ideal arrangement.

THE EDINBOBO QUAETEELY
The Application at Edinboro
The student teachers are divided into four groups, in accordance
with the State curricula. One group is preparing to teach the primary
grades, a second group is preparing to teach in the intermediate grades,
a third group is preparing for the junior high school positions and the
fourth group aims to become rural teachers. We will follow the primary
group in describing the Edinboro plan. The director of this group is also
the supervisor of the primary departments in the training school. The
director is also instructor in most of the classes dealing with the tech
nique of the teaching in primary grades.
During the first part of the teaching semester, a class in primary
theory meets regularly before nine o ’clock each morning. From nine till
four, the day is left entirely free for appentice teaching, observation and
resulting conferences. At the close of the eleventh week, the morning
class in the theory is finished and the entire day, with the exception of
a physical education class three days a week, late in the afternoon, is
open for teaching engagements.
At the beginning of the semester, the director of the primary group
will select some simple teaching exercise and arrange for her group of
students to observe it. This will be preceded by conferences in which
the director will stress the things that she wishes attended to, and the
observation period may be followed by other conferences in which the
exercise is discussed. Such conferences will necessarily be very numerous
during the first part of the semester. The observation exercise may be
any in the entire training school which the director wishes the group to
see. Gradually, however, the work will be more and more confined to
the three lower grades. As the class grows in proficiency, the observa
tion periods will increase and the conferences decrease.
The director, watching individual students, will place them one by
one in actual teaching positions. Their duties may be simple at first
becoming more complex and more difficult as the student grows in
experience. Those most mature, better gifted, or possessing some teach
ing experience will be the first to assume the larger teaching responsi
bilities. This teaching is given in the training school connected with
the normal school. All teachers in the Edinboro training school are
specially trained and qualified to act as training school teachers, or, as
they were formerly called critic teachers. The work of the critic teacher
is directed t^y the group supervisor so that the initial training experiences
of the youn^ student teachers are given under controlled situations. The
EDINBORO
TRAINS
TEACHERS

THE EDINBOEO QUAETEELY
constant endeavor of training teachers, supervisors and training school
superintendent is to present to the student superior teaching in all
exercises. The old term model school teaching expressed this purpose.
Though the teaching cannot always merit the characterization of model,
yet it is superior in quality and method.
At the close of this experience in the training school, which will
extend through eleven weeks, or longer if necessary, the young student
teacher is ready for a final field experience. The field experience differs
from the training school experience in that it is given in a school room
in which the situations are controlled not by normal school supervisors
but by superintendents, principals and teachers in an actual public school
system. All field experience will be under conditions similar to those
the students will actually find in their grade positions. Edinboro has the
very fortunate opportunity, in this field work, of placing her student
teachers in the public schools of Erie. Edinboro is but an hour’s ride
from Erie on the trolley line and the students will commute from Bdinboro during the period of field experience. It is planned to assign but
one cadet at a time to any teacher. This cadet will act in the relation of
an apprentice, gradually assuming a larger share in the work of the
master teacher. Before the field experience is completed, the cadet will
be placed on the list of substitute teachers in the schools of Erie. As
such, many of them will be given full responsibility of a complete public
school position. The excellence of the public schools of Erie with their
complete grading and modern methods will enrich this final experience.
The training, under controlled situation at Edinboro, is in the borough
schools and presents typical Pennsylvania village and borough condi
tions. This year, graduates will thus have had a gradual introduction to
the problems of actual teaching in the controlled situation, typical of
Pennsylvania’s rural villages and finishing with field experiences in a
strong system of city school.
Those who are fitting themselves for positions in consolidated rural
schools will have the initial experience in the training school at Edin
boro and their final field experience in the consolidated rural school at
McLane, with which the normal school maintains co-operative relations.
The introduction of the apprentice to the school room has been
gradual through the simpler exercises to the more complex, through short
periods to a complete day’s program. The program has been so arranged
as to permit observation and experience in any of the school exercises
which occur during the regular school day. All conflicting class engage
ments have been eliminated. The apprentice teaching has been placed
upon an individual basis and final experience has been under actual field
conditions. The amount of time required by the Pennsylvania curriculum

is 15 hours per week. The Edinboro plan makes available 30 hours per
week and will probably use fully 20 hours of this time, or a total of 360
hours during the semester for the all-important work of apprentice
teaching.
This is the first year for the operation of the Edinboro plan and it
is still too early to know final results. The first few months of the plan
have been most gratifying. It is believed that Edinboro graduates will
find themselves particularly fortunate in the vital experience of teacher
training through practice and will be able to look back upon the normal
school career as training which gave them practical application and
developing power in the art of teaching, combining scientific fact, theory
and application in one harmonious whole worthy the name of the art of
teaching, one of the highest and most difficult of crafts, as it is one of
the most important.
