EXTENSION SERVICE
STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE
SHIPPENSBURG, PEN NSYLVAN IA

ENNSYLVAXIA teachers have shown, during the
last decade and-a-half, a professional attitude and
advancement nowhere equalled in this country,
Fifteen years ago thousands of our schools were
taught by persons having no more than an eighth grade
education ancT little or no professional training.
Today Pennsylvania is in the forefront, having a lar­
ger percentage of trained teachers than any other state
in the Union, yet there are among our sixty-odd thousand
teachers a large number who fail to reach present day
standards. Not only this, the State Council of Educa­
tion, the Board of Teachers College Presidents, the Com­
mittee of Presidents of Teachers Colleges and Liberal
Arts Colleges, and the Commission for.the Study of Edu­
cational Problems, all have endorsed a program favoring
a four-year post high school training for all Pennsylvania
teachers, elementary as well as secondary. This program
does not, of course, mean the invalidating of credentials
of teachers at present certified, but any one easily may
envisage the position in which the teachers who do not
have these qualifications will be placed when this pro­
gram becomes effective. Wise teachers who wish to be
prepared for advancement under the higher standards of
the near future will take the earliest opportunity to ob­
tain the further professional requirements represented
by the baccalaureate degree in education.
A college education is expensive for several reasons.
In the first place the student must stop earning and is,
therefore, without an income (Turing his college career.
In the second place, the student is away from home and
must pay for boards lodging and other services which the
home usually supplies at a low cost.
Realizing how difficult it is for the average teacher
to give up his earning power to enter college, the Shippensburg State Teachers College is offering courses in
extension which will enable the student to earn credits
toward a college certificate while continuing to earn his
salary. Then too, there are many high school graduates
of the past few years, who, because of the stress of the
times, find themselves unable to finance a college course.
To such students our extension classes are open. The

B

work offered is distinctly college grade and carries with
it credit toward a college degree.
In its extension service the college will offer for the
school year 1933-34 both intra-mural and extra-mural
courses, beginning on Saturday, September 16, as de­
scribed on the following pages.

EXTENSION SERVICES
In addition to the work offered by this college for
credit, the Department of Extension has made provision
for work along special lines for which no credit is given.
This service was organized for the purpose of extending
the facilities Jtf the college beyond its own campus and
classrooms; While the college feels that its first obliga­
tion is to its students, and to teachers,; and schools of its
service area, its purpose is sufficiently broad to enable it
to serve every educational, community, and social de­
mand made upon it', The agency through which this
broader service will be carried on is the Department of
Extension.
The types of service this institution is prepared to
give are as follows:
1. Professional Service
a. Institutes and teachers meetings
b. Tests
c. Music and Art
2. Rural Service
3. Lecture Service
4. Entertainment Service
5. Library Service
I. PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
a.
Institutes and teachers meetings — The Shippensburg State Teachers ¡¡College is prepared to assist
county; and city superintendents in improving the qual­
ity of the teaching done in the schools under their sup­
ervision. The college will send one or two members of
the teaching staff to any county or city superintendent
requesting the service for an all-day Saturday program.
The faculty members will deal in a practical and thor­
ough manner with problems common to the teachers of
the local .group. Such programs may be substituted fo||
the former teachers institutes of the counties or cities of
the area served by this institution.
Any superintendent who desires this Service should
write the Director of Extension of the college, asking for
a list of topics the faculty members are prepared to pre­
sent. From this list the superintendent maj?fchoose,topic§ which will help him solve his most pressing problems. .
When the Extension Department has been notified of the
selection of topics, a tentative program will be submitted
to the Superintendent and a more detailed program
furnished.

b. Test SemceB-Bfehools in thfi area are becoming
more and more interested in the use of standardized
tests. They may be used for the. diagnosing of the
strengths and weaknesses of pupils, for pointing the way
to necessary remedial instruction, and for measuring
progress. Help in planning testing and remedial pro­
grams, information about -new tests available, actual ad­
ministration of the tests by persons capable of giving
them, and Correction of standardized tests, are among the
offerings of the Test Service. Materials will b|| charged
for at cost. Clerical services-when necessary at twentyfive cents per hour.
c. Music and Art — There are many school districts
in the area served by this college without supervisors in
Music and Art. Those superintendents who find diffi­
culty in organizing these subjects in the several districts
under their supervision will find the college service in
these .departments helpful. The head's of these depart­
ments will be glad to meet the teachers in township or
larger groups and render such assistance as they need in
organizing and carrying on this work in their respective
schools.
E X PEN SES — The members of the teaching staff
of the college charge no fee for their services in this
work, but the Extension Department will charge a fee
commensurate with the service rendered, not to exceed

themselves of any of these services should communicate
with the Director of Extension relative to the expense.

dents and others in organizing rural communities, look­
ing toward better schools, better homes, and a .better soc­
ial and economic outlook among the people of our rural
communities. This service will be available for rural
school organization, women’s clubs in rural communities,
the grange, farmers’ institutes, and supervisors in voca­
tional schools— in short any rural activity.
e x p e n s e s — No fee is attached to this service, al­
though the communities which call for it are expected to
pay traveling and entertainment expenses of the person
sent them.

teachers’ meetings, parent-teacher meetings, community

ments or entertainment course® consisting of plays,
musicals and lectures. The Director of Dramatic^ will

ing the talent of local communities in dramatic work.
Persons interested in this service should communi­
cate with the Department of Extension relative to service
desired, cost, etc.

ful institution in the community it is designed to serve.
