SUMMER SCHOOL AND

Summer Session of 1931
The State Teachers College, Edinboro, Pennsylvania, announces
the 1931 summer session to begin on Monday, June IS, and to end on
Saturday, July 25. The State Teachers College, a member of the Amer­
ican Association of Teachers Colleges, offers students opportunities to
continue their educational activities under very favorable conditions.
The college, situated in the southern part of Erie county, carries
on its summer courses under climatic conditions which are conducive
to the best type of work. The summer season in this region is com­
fortably cool. The environs include many beauty spots of nature. Edin­
boro Lake is a beautiful sheet of water within a short walking distance
of the campus. It offers unexcelled opportunities for boating, bathing,
and fishing. Swimming is an integral part of the work in the physical
education of the summer session.
The country surrounding Edinboro is beautiful. Cambridge Springs,
famous for its mineral waters, is seven miles away; historic Waterford,
ten. Such interesting scenery as that at “The Devil’s Backbone” and
“Punchbowl” and the peculiar rock formations at Jamestown, N. Y.,
can be easily reached by automobile.
Edinboro can be reached easily by auto on the Perry Highway
(U.S. 19) which connects Edinboro with Erie on the North and with
Cambridge Springs and Meadville on the South.
The West Ridge Transportation Company maintains regular bus
service between Erie and Meadville. Students coming to Edinboro from
distant points by railroad may travel by the New York Central, Penn­
sylvania, Nickle Plate, or Bessemer railroad to Erie and thence to Edin­
boro by bus. The Erie railroad passes through Cambridge Springs.
Baggage sent by railroad should be distinctively marked “State
Teachers College at Edinboro” to insure its being delivered to the
dormitory.

The Organization, of the Summer Session
Several changes in the organization of the work of the summer
session are planned, some of which will affect all students and others,
only students who did not attend campus classes in previous summer
sessions.
Beginning with the opening of the summer session the Edinboro
State Teachers College will be in session six days a week instead of
the five of previous terms. Classwork will begin on Monday morning
and end on Saturday noon.
In past summer sessions classes were offered at the Erie Center of
the Edinboro State Teachers College. With the cancellation of the
contract which was entered into by the Edinboro State Teachers College
and the Erie School District the work of the Center will be discontinued
with the ending of the present school year. No classes will be held
in Erie.
During the last two summer sessions all students who were eligible
to do student teaching during summer terms were urged to complete
this part of their work. Their needs were cared for. Since no real
demand exists, on the part of summer students qualified for such work,
no student teaching is planned for the summer session.

Purpose of Summer School
The courses of study offered during the 1931 summer session are
^arranged to serve specifically the needs of teachers in service and of
prospective teachers. Provisions are made for the needs of the classes
of students listed below.
1. Teachers now holding Partial Certificates that expire with the
current school year.
Holders of Partial Certificates which expire August 1, 1931, are not
required to present further application for certification, but there should
be submitted to the Teacher Bureau, Department of Public Instruction,
Harrisburg:
(1) A Teacher’s Rating Score Card filled out by the superin­
tendent under whose supervision the teaching has been done, indi­
cating a rating of “middle” or better; and
(2) An Approved Training Certificate indicating the com­
pletion of not fewer than six (6) semester hours of professional
training, in addition to that already required for the former issue or
renewal of a Partial Certificate or its equivalent.
2. Teachers working for Standard Certificates
Holders of Partial Certificates who are applying for standard cer­
tification should submit to the Teacher Bureau, Department of Public
Instruction, Harrisburg, before the opening of the school term in the
fall of 1931:
(1) A Teacher’s Rating Score Card filled out by the superin­
tendent under whose supervision the teaching has been done, in­
dicating a rating of “middle” or better; and
(2) A Certificate of Approved Training showing the com­
pletion of the necessary number of semester hours to make up the
seventy required for standard certification.
3. Holders of Standard and Permanent Certificates who are work­
ing toward a State Teachers College Certificate.
4. Graduates from two or three-year curricula who desire to work
toward a degree.
(1) Courses will be offered in the four-year Elementary Cur­
riculum, which leads to the degree of B.S. in Elementary Education
and the College Provisional Certificate.
(2) Courses will be given in the four-year Junior High School
Curriculum, which leads to the degree of B.S. in Education and the
College Provisional Certificate.
(3) Certain courses of the Art Curriculum will be offered. The
completion of this curriculum entitles the student the B.S. degree
in Public School Art and a College Provisional Certificate.
5. Holders of College Provisional Certificates will find courses
offered which will enable them to have their College Provisional Cer­
tificates made permanent. Attention is called to the fact that graduates
who are anticipating working for a Master’s degree should take the ad­
ditional six semester hours of work at a University. Credits are not
transferable for a Master’s degree.
6. Holders of College Provisional Certificates or their equivalent,
who are desirous of receiving the recently created Principal’s Certificate
will find courses adopted to their needs.

SUMMER SCHOOL AND

Requirements for Admission
Admission to a State Teachers College, without the payment of a
tuition fee, is based upon:
(1) Evidence of approved secondary school training;
(2) A health certificate;
(3) A statement of good moral character;
(4) A signed obligation to teach in the schools of the Common­
wealth; and
(5) The maintenance of a legal residence within the Common­
wealth.
Secondary school training is accepted when attested to by the pre­
sentation of approved credentials showing either (a) graduation from
an approved four-year high school, or (b) the completion of equivalent
training in an approved secondary school, or (c) the possession of an
equivalent high school certificate. Graduates of senior high schools in
school districts maintaining approved junior high school organizations
are admitted on presenting evidence of having completed twelve units
of work in grades 10, 11, and 12.
In addition to an official record of secondary school work, applicants
are required to present health certificates signed by a physician certified
to practice medicine in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Applicants
disqualified, by reason of physical defects, for the successful performance
of the duties of a teacher, will not be admitted.
Applicants for admission are required to present evidence of good
moral character and the ideals which characterize the teaching service.
This requirement is met by the affixing of the signature of the high
school principal to the proper place on the admission application blank.
Each applicant for admission to a State Teachers College is required
to obligate himself to teach in the schools of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania for not less than two years. This obligation is required,
without exception, before he is permitted to register.
Only applicants who maintain legal residence within the Common­
wealth of Pennsylvania may be admitted without payment of a tuition
fee. Applicants from other states may be admitted, provided they meet
all other qualifications, upon the payment of a tuition fee.

CREDIT FOR SUMMER SESSION WORK
A regulation of the State Council of Education restricts credit for
summer work in the field of teacher preparation to a maximum number
equal to one semester hour credit for each week of work, when records
of such work are to be presented to the Department of Public Instruc­
tion in discharge of the requirements for teacher certification.
The above ruling under which all institutions offering courses in the
field of teacher preparation must work means that during a six-week
summer session a student can take for credit courses aggregating six
semester hours.

SUMMER TERM BEGINS JUNE 15

Advanced Standing
Students entering the Edinboro State Teachers College who have
completed courses in other State Teachers Colleges or equivalent courses
in approved institutions of collegiate grade, will be given credit on the
curriculum which they pursue to the extent that the courses submitted
apply. A minimum residence of one semester is required for graduation
from a two-year course. A minimum residence requirement of one year
must be met before a degree can be conferred.
All courses for which students wish advanced standing must be cer­
tified to on an approved transcript. Students desiring advanced stand­
ing should request the institutions at which they have taken the courses
to send to the Dean of Instruction of the Edinboro State Teachers Col­
lege official transcripts of such courses.
Credit toward graduation is no longer granted for work taken
through correspondence courses, unless such work was completed previ­
ous to Sept. 1, 1927.
Courses taken through Extension work may be credited according
to the regulations printed in the Catalog Number of the Quarterly of
the Edinboro State Teachers College. The courses which may be taken
in Extension are there listed.

Register Early
Because of the brevity of the Summer Session it will be necessary to
complete all details concerning registration before the opening of the
Summer term.
Students who have previously been registered with the Edinboro
State Teachers College should write at once for Registration Cards for
the 1931 Summer Session, and make arrangements with the office of the
Dean of Instruction for the scheduling of courses which they desire to
pursue. Such students, if they have been doing work in residence at
other institutions or have been pursuing approved Extension courses,
who desire advanced standing should submit at the earliest possible date,
official transcripts of work taken elsewhere.
Students attending the Edinboro State Teachers College for the
first time should write at once for the proper Admission Application
Blank, Registration Cards, and information concerning the scheduling
of their work for the 1931 Summer Session.
The plan is to complete all registration before the opening date of
the Summer Session.

Text Books for the Summer Session
Because of the brevity of the Summer Session, it is necessary to
have text books available on the opening date of the term. When stu­
dents have completed their registration and selected their schedule of
courses, a list of text books to be used during the Summer Session will
be sent to them from the office of the Dean of Instruction, with an ac­
companying order blank. These order blanks, when filled out and
signed, should be returned to the Dean of Instruction. Text books or­
dered before the ISth of May will be available at the Klingensmith
store on the opening day of the Summer Session.

SUMMER SCHOOL AND

Summer Courses in Art
The summer courses in Art are offered to meet the needs of the
following groups of students: (1) students who will complete the
courses of study comprising the Art Curriculum and who will receive
their baccalaureate degrees at the end of the Summer Session; (2)
teachers in service who are doing a portion of the work of the Art
Curriculum during summer sessions; (3) regularly enrolled students of
the Edinboro State Teachers College or students who, having completed
a curriculum in some other institutions, are transferring to the Art
Curriculum; and (4) holders of the provisional college certificate who
are planning on summer work to have it made permanent.
Students with college credits at other institutions who desire to
enter the Art Curriculum at the Edinboro State Teachers College
should secure an evaluation of their previous courses. An evaluation
will be made upon the submission of (1) the regular admission appli­
cation form properly filled out in every resect and (2) official transcripts
of courses taken at other institutions. These should be sent to the
Dean of Instruction. Unofficial statements of high school or college
courses cannot be accepted as the basis of an evaluation. If a student
with advanced standing begins work in the Art Curriculum, transcripts
that have been submitted become a permanent part of that student’s
record at the College.

page. The list below gives only the courses peculiar to the Art Cur­

28. Art classes were immediately transferred to it and it was possible,
for the first time, to put all Art courses on a full time laboratory basis.
Loveland Hall offers excellent opportunities to Art Students. On
tht first floor are located the office of Mr. Bates, Dean of the Art
School; conference rooms and a large separate studio for each of the
following types of activities: Modeling, Pottery, Mechanical Drawing,

SUMMER SCHOOL AND

Living Conditions at Edinboro
The college offers two dormitories for the use of students. These
are conveniently located amidst beautiful surroundings of the campus.
The rooms are large, well ventilated, every room having not less than
two windows, electric lights and steam heat. Bath rooms on every floor.
The dining room is the most beautiful school dining room in the
state, the kitchen modern, and the food excellent. The school raises
fresh vegetables for use in season and cans and preserves for winter
use.
The school provides all linen for the beds. Students need to furnish
only an extra blanket or comfort and such personal linen as towels and
table napkins and any room decorations, wash curtains and table covers
which they may desire to use in their rooms.
The system of student government allows opportunity for the de­
velopment of self-control and as much liberty as is consistent with the
culture and refinement which every teacher desires to possess and ex­
press.
A graduate nurse lives in the dormitory and watches over students
and cares for them whenever necessary. Her skillful and prompt atten­
tion keeps the students in good physical condition.

The Bathing Beach
The bathing beach is recognized as a necessary part of the equip­
ment for the most desirable and efficient summer school. Some schools
of the highest recognition have even made learning to swim a require­
ment for graduation. Edinboro is indeed fortunate, being located on the
banks of Edinboro Lake, one of Pennsylvania’s most beautiful inland
lakes.
Through the co-operation of the Edinboro State Teachers College
and the Edinboro Board of Commerce, arrangements have been made
to further the recreation that was so popular during the past few sum­
mers. Work has been done to better the beach, beautify the surround­
ings, and add to the efficiency of the project. Bath houses are available,
life guards on duty, and swimming instructors at your service. Regular
instruction in swimming will be a part of the course in health education.
Edinboro’s aims are to give her summer school students the best.
