The articles, of this quarter's Herald areigllespecial interest to
our graduates who are teachers and to thi|§e who are yet interested
in educational practice. Professor S. S. Shearer, head of the. Departs
ment of Science, reviews a hook for- leadership elements. Professor
Shearer has had a large experience in dirg§ting students. His popa,
larity among students of today and yesterday will, no doubt, be suf­
ficient reason for their attention being directed to what he writes.
Miss Alice Leutsker, head of the Department of Psychology,
writes a very practical article on Reading. She particularly presents'
usable material for teachers and takes great care to make plain her
thesis to those who may not be teachers'.
M ill Nora Kieffer,'a faculty, member much interested in Extra­
curricular Activities, presents the work of the college in this Yield
and its objectives: She knows so well what these aetivitiesUShould do
for; students that she is sure of interesting teachers, students, and
others in this well thought-out presentaiori.
The article by Miss Ruth Cunningham, a member of the staff of
the Training School, tells what is done' with Citizenship Activities, in
that school. 'She presents a situation which corresponds to a public
school situation. These activities have been profitable for pupils in
her charge, and this she shows in a practical way.
.In information, directness of language, practical application,
modern practice and inspiring outlook in. a field, of great educational
possibilities, these faculty contributors to this Herald have ‘something
to offer.

either they hats© to fail or they will need to learn to read their assignments.by t h e m g l v ^ We have enough to. do in our own co u rts.”
Now, with- p ro g r e s s e leadership in the high ^hbplst|f thiJjfeçtion
and a spirit pfv inquiry and progress'asMvi^enced by? the voluntary
discussion groups. and||c;hool principals :and schoollluperintepdehts,
we have reason to-lpok forward to a different answer. Now. superin­
tendents and principals give this''impression: “ What is'th ‘e situa­
tion?” “ What do you think can be done about it ? ” “ We’ll see what
we can do.”-'?/
“ What ^-th g-situ ation ?4’ A . study of reading ability of high
school graduates at Sîuppensburg State TeachersffGollèéë- has 'ju st
been, completed. The results A fla silollow s : 18-% ,of the group can
à^urately- and as rapidly as college frS im en should; 16%;
do as well as twelfth graders; l§ fg a s well as eleventh graders- 20%'
f well as tenth graders;. 14.^ as-well as hirith graders^and. l g f l f a l l
below ninth grade- standards.. On thjgaveragè. this group reads as
well ^ stu d e n ts usually do at the end of the. Sophomore-year in high
school. These facts give us causé for congratulation and'Veason for
real concern. Prom the .standpoint of reading ability, there are many
students who conic to college equipped to do an excellent piece o f
work, idhplastically. On the other hand, there .¿re many whfëenter
with a serious handicap. Anyone who stops to think about the matter
even a few minutes will agree that a student who cannot read accu­
rately and with reasonable spejf will have a difficult.time preparing
his assignments in Social Science, for example, which requires •not
merely text book preparation but-also widAlibrary heading.
What can be done to improve thèjisjtuation ? Fortunately, this is
not entirely a new probléin. Other colleges andj other high schools
hav^lnankly faced the problem. Experts have.,carried on many
scientific investigations in this, .field. Consequently, there are many
suggestions^ available for immediate msp.. - 'Some of thesll may be
briefly summarized,
_
coll| # has already established a Reading Clinic.
College students who desire it, may receive help in discovering theii?
weaknesses and necessary remedial instruction.which includes guid­
ance in self improvement. Three faculty members, namely Miss Mary
York, M i^-N ora Kieffer and the writer are contributing an hour a
week, to the-project.
Secondly, high school teachers should b,e|§>me aware of the prob­
lem. iMiàj| MaryWork, our speciali|t in readingpaÿsifhat most sub­

in reading and how to develop them. She states that most teachers
have become fairly expert themskfeed by the trial and error method
■■and that they simply allow their studeafBa to follow a similar procednre. However, all of their students are hot as capable afithey them­
selves are. The result is that many high school students fail to read
as well as They could be trained to read.
A. Principals and teachers ;ih.,ould know what the /situation is in
their Bwn high pphqcil. This miay fee done,,fey means! of alluitable
.standardized Reading Test. At present, many teachers are' equipped
to' administerV’feeOre And analyze The rf|uip|' p f fgtandardized tests.
The cost is .not great. Three dollars and thirty cents will pay for
Tests for one hundred students-,-and a manual to be used in interpret­
ing test results. The Shank Test of Reading Comprehension, pub­
lished by C: A. Gregory, Cincinnati»s|a ver^l.Itisfactory t||t for the
purpose. It measures up to, the criteria for |felepfing tests.'
B. The results Of the SstTshould fefe thoroughly di^ffi^&;4 IP
faculty meetings not merely in terms of medians and qualities and
norms'feut largely in terms of Susan Brown and Robert Henkle.
Thirdly* the remedial work should proceed with vigor. Every
assignment and, every recitation in any ; sufejgcfpfequiring reading
/Skills can assist in the development of thesp. skills. The poorest read.ers-fshould be given special help. The National Committee on Read­
ing in the Twenty-fourth Yearbook, of the National Bfeclety for the
Study of Education recommends-a special teacher of heading for high
schools. It i i probably, not possible under, present conditions to hire
■a teacher for this purpose;: alone.- Wouldn’t it b||possible for sfeme
teachers to1establish a High School.Reading Clinic? Valuable ideas
fo r all-teachers may be. gained from Usburn’s “ Refeiedial Exercises in
Reading” (Public. School Publishing Company, Bloomington, 111.);
Pressey’s- - “ A Manual of Reading Exercises for Freshmen” (Ohio
State University Press, Columbus) ; and Ga®f|!“ The' Impr^etoenf o f
Reading”- (Macmillan Company, New York City:)
Fourthly, more emphaSisSshould fee placed upon the.building o f
vocabulary. Thisjghould include general vSfpbulary and vocabulary
•of thellspecial sehooBsubjects, .Sometimesf-undue stre®s|p| placed
upon unusual words. Teachers may be guided initheir choice of voca­
bulary fey scientifically prepared word lists? Dr, E. L. Thorndike’s
“ Teacher’s Word Book,” Dr. L. Preijfeyfs) “ Technical Vocabularies o f
.School Subjects” are among the valuable contributiondTcShis field.
Fifthly, superintendents should make a study' of Reading in the

in the type of experiences and procedures, which thelteacher in train­
ing may be able to use later in similar organizations in the public
.schools. The last aim is emphasized more in some, clubs than in
■others for self-evident reasons.
Under individual student growth we list the desirable habits,
4kill|§ attitudes and ideafe. of various tyjjl's which are gradually de­
veloped on the college level and which are valuable» outcomes of each
activity.. - The value of each activity is greatest when ¡individual
.nfeds are most fully met. In many instances great assistance is Se­
cured for individuals who find social adjustiiients difficult. In the
'»State Teachers College at Shippensburg we believe that a varied pro­
gram of extra-curricular activities, carefully administered so as to
reach each student, is a valuable means of, insuring student mental
health. Valuable lessons, in cooperation, initiative, resourcefulness,
-leadership anffefollowership become a vital part of eaeflstudent’s
experience. To think clearly and logically and to express ideas with
freedom'and ease when speaking are two standards, o f f attainment
■sought by all -organizations involving this type.of work.
In the, second place, our extra-curricular activities aid in providing
wholesome recreation for all, in centering interest and attention out­
side, the Self and in sublimating impulses and desires!.’ Each student
must learn to maintain a proper balance between his tasks and his
recEeatidnst, This is a prerequisite to greatest efficiency in one’s life
work. An extra-curricular program offers valuable experience along
this line. Life hobbies and interests are found by some students
through these experiences and desirable ways of using leisure time by
others.
In a teache||;,Vcollege the. professional aspect-of each activity
ll||ome|i a factor of-vital importance.Hence a club may dramatize a
« ¡ r t play adapted to sixth grade level, another group may investi­
gate a field of interest to the prospective senior high school teacher
and a third group may study the organization and objectives of a
similar group in a junior high school. This is-possible in a prac­
tical -way since the membership of each organization represents a
cross-section of interests from the point of view of different educa­
tional levels.
The li§| of organized groups in our college includes Women’s
Student Council, Men’s Tribunal, Y. W. C. A., Y. M! C. A., Women’s
Athletics, Men’s Athletics, Campus Reflector Staff, College Concert
Band, College Orchestra, Men’s Glee Club, Girls’ Choral Society, The
Dramatic Club, The Junior Thespians, Gamma Delta Gamma (The De­
bating Club), The Library Round Tables The Country Life Club, The

Nature Camera Club, Arts and Crafts Club, The PJjysics Club, The
Mathematics Club, and the Geography Club.
In addition, we have two literary societies—-the Normal Society
and the Philomathean Society. These' societies are active, progres­
sive and a valuable asset to the literary, social and recreational life of
the student body as a whole. The work is carried on in a most com­
mendable way. (Extra-curricular credit is not given for work in the
literary societies.)
Reports from advisers and students indicate that the various o r­
ganizations are working with enthusiasm, interest, and success,
Therefoie, we believe that extra-curricular activities will probably
continue to hold a definite place in public school and teachers college
programs in spite o f the fact that more extensive group activities
are being introduced into regular curricular work.

RUTH A. CUNNINGHAM
Training School of S. S. T. C.

The school activities, mental and physical, described herein com­
pose an important part of the curricula of the intermediate and upper
grades of the Campus Training School. All activities are considered
under the children’s regular work, which, according to daily schedule,
begins at nine o’clock and ends at four. Extra-curricular activities
are not recognized as such.
This whole activity program is based on the philosophical belief
that (1) children grow mentally and physically through their own
reactions to stimuli, (2) that the teacher’s chief function is to pro­
vide natural social situations with proper stimuli through which chil­
dren’s own reactions will develop the most positive personalities pos­
sible for the varying potentialities of the individuals, and (3) that
the relationship of the teacher to the children must be as a guide
rather than a dictator. The position of teacher-guide requires careful
preparation on the part of the teacher— a thorough understanding
of child nature, of the principles underlying effective teaching and
learning situations, as well as a sincere desire to provide for the
healthful growth of the whole child.

Considerable emphasis |s, given to teaching by UNITS, especially
in the content subjects, including not only a study o f subject matter
but also related activities which vitalize study and lead children to
creative expression. The following report does not include a fuller
consideration of units but limits the discussion to class activity per­
iods, .assembly programs, and ungraded clubs.
HOME ROOM CLASS ACTIVITY PERIOD— Each class has a
weekly forty-minute period known as class activity meeting. A pupil
-elected by the classbsierves as presiding officer. A vice president, a
secretary and a treasurer are also, elected by the class- for a term of
four weeks. Officers appointed by the president fo r a term of one
week are boys’ line leader, girls’ line leader, two housekeepers, a table
head who acts as host or hostess.;, at the luncheon table, a program
committee of three members who direct special programs which the
class,; may wish to present, and a room librarian who keeps- a record
o f borrowed books used by members of thSfjclass .for special reading.
Children learn to exercise good judgment in their selection of
class officers. This-organization presents a social situation in which
the teacher can help the. children to recognize worthy citizenship
qualifications for leadership and through practice,Bthe children’s
■ability to makefetKieal judgment increases, ,
An outline of a typical class meeting follows:
Meeting called to order by the president
Minutes of the last meeting read by the-secretary
Week’s report by the appointed officers with suggestions
for improvement
ClasSidiscussion
New business including announcement o f new appointments
Special •activity
Adjournment.
The special activity varies according to the needs and interests
of the class. Much; of the work of the Junior Red -Cross is carried out
at thigrperiod. Participating in Community Chest drive, constructing
games and picture books to be used a's’-gifts for children’s hospitals
and for babies •of theWocal baby clinic, planting of winter gardens,
painting ,of window boxes? to beautify classrooms, dramatizing various
worthwhile citizenship traits such as safety-first behavior and acts of
courtesy demanded by conventions of society, and planning for as­
sembly programs-are typical of the activities in which the children
and teachers engage during homeroom Massiactivity period.
The chief purposesj-pf this period are to give each child practice
in self-control, to develop within him a sense of responsibility for his

own good record as; an .active school citizen, and to develop a social _
conscience as well as a s'ocial consciousness.
Desirable outcomes which have been ijfeprved are .growth in
pupils’ ability to plan, to discuss ;a civic -problem,- to judge results, and
to-Cooperate for a common purpose; growth in appreciation
the
other person’s opinion, in willingness* to help others; and favorable
mental adjustment for the 'extremely aggres|iver:child ||-well as; for5
hS timid classmate who lacks faith in his own ability to do.wdll. -r'
The function of the homeSpns teacher is to guide, ^Children in
their ¡selection of problemsifthr activities, to provide opportunity for
freedom of expression in the solution of problems and such activities
as the class may undertake so as to utilize the best natural tenden­
cies ofleaeh child in a learning situation.
WEEKLY ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS—The assembly hour is one
of the most, attractive periods of the week in the estimation of the.
children; it is-especially ^enjoyable to the class presenting the pro­
gram. Each member of the class makes a contribution toward the
success of the program. It i|" customary for-.a pupil chairman topreside-while the teacher remains behind the curtains or is|§eated
in the .audience during theBerformance. Assembly program assign­
ments are made for the term so that teachers and children know
when they will be .expected to instruct and entertain the school au­
dience. (This schedule i|t:flexihleH|nough to permit the exchange of
dates -to accommodate a class which may wish to make a special con­
tribution.)
The assembly is at all times the product of regular school activi­
ties instead of features prepared merely for public performance. The
list fhat follows is suggestive ¡.of the nature of assembly programs
and indicates the wide scopq of interesting and worthwhile activities
which are adaptable: Singing, dramatizing .stories, presenting a play
written in English class, summarizing a unit of material in social
studies by means, of lantern slides, tpre-viewing a unit of material
with lantern slides; mastering mechanics of learning through relay
races; in spelling, punctuation, capitalization, arithmetic combinations
(staged.so as to utilize group rivalry and appeal to the interest of the
audience); displaying a completed unit.^of -study with pupil-explana­
tions of {he various phases of learning involved, and exhibiting health
education activities'such as plays, games, and dances.
The purposes of the school assembly are to provide opportunities
for children to acquire personality traits which can be developed best
in an audience situation, to summarize certain phases of regular

THE

T E A C H E R S

C O L L E G E

H E R À L D

school work in an interesting and purposeful manner, to instill within
the children a sense of acceptable behavior as members of an aud­
ience.
CLUBS— Homeroom class activity meetings, and weekly assembly
programs have functioned effectually for a number of years in the
elementary grades of the Training School, but ungraded organized
clubs are in the experimental state, progressing satisfactorily with
many indications of continued success. Ungraded clubs as part of
the regular curriculum Were organized two years ago. In order to
determine each child’s^Chief interest a list of ten club activities was
presented to all children of grades four to eight. Each child selected
a first and second interesjfand from this selection five clubs evolved,
each club being sponsored by a Training School faculty member ac­
cording to his or-her special interest. The selected clubs included
glee club, homemakers’ club, boy scouts, girl scouts, and dramatic
club. Upon reorganization at the beginning of the second' year a
larger number of children elected Scout Club as first choice. Re­
sultant organizations consisted of three scout, clubs instead of two.
Due to a limited number o f sponsoring teachers Homemakers’ Club
was discontinued though its activities were included to a large extent
in the work of the scout clubs. Dramatic Club and Glee Club were re­
organized the second year according to the original plan.
The main purpose of the ungraded clubs is to provide opportunity
for children to pursue their special interests to a larger degree than
would be possible in regular class work or in organizations by grades
alone. Although the grouping is made according to interest it does
not follow that there is one level of ability in each group. On the
other hand practice has shown that some children are greatly inter­
ested in certain activities for which they seem to have scarcely any
ability. For example, several boys elected Glee Club though they were
unable to “ carry a tune.” These boys are making a low degree of
progress but apparently with a high degree of self satisfaction.
These are exceptional cases. Many children in each group possess
ability more nearly commensurate with their interest.
Club .officers consist of president, vice-president and secretary.
The term of office is four to six-weeks according to the decision of
the respective clubs, The, weekly club meetings open with a brief
business meeting followed by the activities peculiar to each club.
GLEE CLUB—The glee club has learned new songs in two and
three part music as well as new unison songs. This'club presented an
assembly program of songs this year, attended young peoples’ ser­
vice at a local church singing several selections, and sang Christmas
carols at a P-T-A meeting.

DRAMATIC CLUB—The dramatic club members have read
poetry together, read stories, adapted stories to plays, read and pre­
sented plays, and created several short plays. The dramatic club re­
cently presented a citizenship play at assembly. ■
SCOUT CLUB (boys)—The boys’ scout club though unaffiliated
with the national organization has followed the program of activities
recommended by the Scout Handbook such as: tying knots, practicing
first aid service, studying local trees, making leaf prints, studying
animal tracks, plaiting craft strips, collecting curios for a troop
museum, and carving in wood and soap.
SCOUT CLUB (girls)— The members of the girls’ scout club are
active members of the national organization. Their work has included
the following activities: working off requirements fo r first, second,
and tenderfoot rank, working for merit badges) earning money
through food sales at school, writing a scout journal, planning and
giving several parties, making and refiriishing toys for Christmas
gifts, keeping written records of scout activities. During ScoutWeek the club attended church in a group, presented an assembly
program, and enjoyed a supper hike. Fifteen scouts with their cap­
tain, first lieutenant, and several student teachers enjoyed a week­
end camping trip last spring.
The activities are distributed throughout the week as indicated
below in order to keep children’s work well balanced and to permit
many student teachers to observe and participate. Fourth grade
homeroom class, activity, Thursday; fifth, Thursday;; sixth, Monday;
seventh, Thursday; eighth, Tuesday. Assemblies are held on Friday,
forenoon and afternoon periods alternating. Clubs meet on Wednes­
day.

The Campus Reflector is a welcome .sheet among the college,
student!-. It brings to them 'college'activities interestingly;■and justly
Stated. The arrangementllf new's catcheMbe Oye quickly and makes;
it possible for the. students to read rapidly and with confidence in the
content. The Editor-in-Chief, Richard Taylor, ’32, is a careful worker
and h|si staff wòrks with dependability under his leadership. PrpfésSpr
Earl Harlan, skillful adviser for editorial and reportorial work, knows
what good reporting and good writing are. There argSalways,. there-fore, high standards before the staff for ali departments of newspaper
composition work. Mr. J. W. Laekhove carefully directs the business
management of the paper. And the printing of the paper jk done by
the efficient News-Chronicle plant. All this...accounts for the great
satisfaction the student body finds in the Campus Reflector.
Lately the Reflector Was awarded highest honors in -the -second
annual contest of the Pennsylvania School Press Àssogiation which
met at Pittsburgh with the Pennsylvania State-Teachers Association.
In the previous year only one prize was givèn land the Campus Re­
flector received it. In The National Columbia Press Association con­
test our paper had third place. This indicates good workmanship,
able editorial management, and unusual advisory leadership.
The Reflector is one of the «strongest factors in school morale.
It'spreads- college news, is generous, to college freèiopinion, links up
faculty and student body in the discussion of college problems, and
presents an appearance Of; which the institution m a y lfe proud. The

A LETTER T O THE G R A D U A T E S O F TH E T W O A N D
T H R E E Y E A R COURSES
Dear Friends:

'

.

It is my desire to call your attention to the opportunities open
to you during our Summer-, Session. Judging from last summer-, we
are confident that at least sixty per cent of our student body will
be made up of alumni who are desirous of completing the four-year
course.
You are probably familiar with the fact that practically every
■conference of superintendents and principals held during the past
few years has recommended that the two-year course be lengthened
to four years. At the recént meeting of the Pennsylvania State Educa­
tional Association, especially the Higher Educational Department,
held in Pittsburgh, the dominant note was a four-year course for all
-teachers. The fact was stressed that teachers in the future must be
better trained academically, be more finely equipped professionally
and be possessed of a stronger professional sptrii. This same senti­
ment is being voiced by the public.
Those of you who are interested in becoming better teachers and
in keeping pace with the forward movement of the teaching profes­
sion will heed the call that is being made. You no doubt are plan­
ning? to. complete the four-year coufse and receive a B. S. degree. I,
"therefore, wish you to note that it is possible for you to secure six
-semester hours of work during the Summer Session.
It might be well to call your attention to the changes made dur­
ing the past year in the four-year curricula. Under the new arrange­
ment the four-year Elementary Curriculum has preserved the group
idea of the two-year course. In addition to this a number of changes
as - to subjects has been made, thereby enriching the content
Similarly in the Secondary Curriculum a number of important changes
as to subjects has been made.
For your benefit an outline of the new curricula will appear in
this number of the Herald. We have also indicated tentatively the
courses that will be given this summer, but other courses will be
given, especially if there should be a demand.
We are planning to make the Summer Session of such a character
as best to meet your requirements. We can do this to better ad­
vantage if you help us by indicating the branches in which you are
.interested.

S U M M E R SESSION— JU N E 20 - JU L Y 30

The six weeks Summer Session of the Shippensburg State Teach­
ers College will open Monday, June 20 and close Saturday, July 30.
The session opens sufficiently late to accommodate teachers who are
teaching ten months terms.Here is an opportunity for all teachers who desire to keep in the
van in the forward march that is going on in education. A number
of States have raised the requirement for teachers in all grades to
four years of academic and professional training beyond the high
school. Many of the cities in our own State give preference to those,
teachers who have completed the four year course. The two year
Normal Certificate will continue to be legal but when the holder of
such certificate comes in competition for a position with one holding a
four-year certificate, he will be at a great disadvantage.
Certainly every progressive teacher who holds either a two year
or a three year certificate should plan to complete one of the fouryear courses leading to a B. S. degree in Education. The training
received will mean much to you and to those whom you teach in the
years to come. Seize the opportunity to begin or to continue this
work by enrolling for the Summer Session of 1932.
We want to offer the courses needed by our graduates, by our
present students, by those working for a State Standard Certificate,
and those few teachers who- wish to renew their Partial Certificates.
You can help us by looking over the appended list of subjects and
telling us what two subjects you would like to take. Some of these
are tertain to be given. Others will be given if a sufficiently large
number of persons elect them. If you will notify us early enough
what courses you wish to take, we can arrange to meet your needs;
We urge each student to indicate the two subjects- desired.
If you want a pleasantly located room reserved, we ask you to
send the ten dollar room reservation deposit. The rooms are assigned
in the order of registration.

In 1926 the State Teachers Colleges in Pennsylvania established
two four-year courses»—one for the preparation of high school teach­
ers, the other for the preparation of elementary school teachers. Five
years of trial revealed the necessity for revising these curricula.
After some months of work the curricular committee presented the
following courses which were approved and put into operation in Sep­

Shippensburg enjoyed the most successful football season it has
had for many years. Winning six games, losing one, and tying one,
Shippensburg was second only to Lock Haven who won six and tied
two; but considering the teams met and defeated during thè season,
we were .sgcond to none.
The' s.eaèon was a great, success not onlyV because of our many
victories', but because of the fine;'spirit and excellent 'sportmanship
shown throughout-the year. We had a hard-fighting, clean-playing
team that concentrated on playing football and did not think of indi­
vidual glory or petty spites and prejudices. They, played as a unit.
Our line, which was out-weighed by nearly every team we met, was
never out-played during the season and in nearly every incident com­
pletely dominated the situation. Our backfield was'-istrong in all de­
partments of the game and with Captain Green as 'the ijipark-plugpiled up one hundred sixty-nine points to thirty-five for the oppo­
sition.
•
Captain Green’s five touchdowns a g a in s t | Bloomsburg climaxed
his last, and most brilliant year at Shippensburg. He scored fifteen
touchdowns during thelgeason and many as a result of a long run,
the longest run being hi&ninety-two yard dash after intercepting a
Bloomsburg pass,

On November 7, 1931, one hundred and sixty persons sat down to,
a banquet given in honor of the fathers of the college students. Earl
Davidson was general chairman of the event. His - management
brought the happy event to a very successful conclusion.
Doctor J. S. Heiges, acting president of the college, gave an ad­
dress of welcome. His subject was “ The College Father.” His treat­
ment was witty and informing. ,
Paul Caufman, president of the college Y. M. C. A., and Dorothy
Heefner, president of the college Y. W. C. A., greeted the visiting
fathers for the students. Helen Danfelt and Eugene DaRone spoke
respectively on “ The College Daughter” and “ The College Son.” Oth­
er numbers on this program were music by Harold Kling, ’34, and by.
a quartette in charge of Paul Caufman. There were also the custom-,
ary visitation of dormitories by the fathers, and a football game for.
enthusiastic sons and daughters and dads.
The , event was a great success, and i® one o f the means of keep­
ing regional homes and the school in close touch and in intensifying,
a finejspirit of loyalty to the school.
