Accrediting Agencies

The rapid development of colleges in the United States
during the past fifty years has led to various efforts to standard­
ize these institutions through the setting up o f regional and in
some instances national accrediting agencies. This movement
has been animated by a desire to protect worthy institutions and
at the same time to guard parents o f prospective college students
from exploitation at the hands o f colleges unworthy o f the name.
The acknowledged accrediting agency for this region of the
country is the Middle States Association of Colleges and Second­
ary Schools. The State Teachers College at Shippensburg is a
member o f this Association and is fully accredited by it. The
national accrediting agency for teachers colleges is the American
Association of Teachers Colleges which has a membership o f 157
fully accredited teacher education institutions including the State
Teachers College at Shippensburg.
Town of Shippensburg

Shippensburg is a town of approximately six thousand peo­
ple, situated in the beautiful Cumberland Valley on the Pennsyl­
vania Railroad, thirty-nine miles southwest of Harrisburg, on
Pennsylvania highway, No. 11. Carlisle, the county seat o f Cum­
berland County, lies twenty miles from Shippensburg toward
Harrisburg, and Chambersburg, the county seat of Franklin
County, ten miles in the opposite direction. Gettysburg, the
county seat of Adams County, with its famous battlefield now a
national shrine, is but thirty miles distant. Rich farm lands,
broad meadows* and delightful woodlands bounded by moun­
tains to the north and south, characterize this valley which is one
of the richest agricultural sections of the country.
History

Originally known as the Cumberland Valley State Normal
School, the school was founded in 1871. The first class was
graduated in 1874. For more than fifty years the school contin­
ued to serve as a State Normal School, graduating students pre­
pared and legally qualified to teach in the public schools of the
Commonwealth. A fter 1922, high school graduation was required
for admission to the institution. In 1926 the State Council of
Education authorized four-year curricula based upon high schopl
graduation. In August, 1927, by authority o f the General Assem-

14

TH E TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD

bly, this institution became a college with the fight to grant de­
grees. Its name was changed to the State Teachers College at
Shippensburg.
Plant and Grounds

The site consists of approximately sixty-four acres with two
fully equipped athletic fields, Eckels Field and Heiges Field,
ten tennis courts, a quarter mile track with a two-twenty straight­
away, an archery range and an open-air Shakespearean theatre.
The buildings on the campus are arranged in a curving line on
the crest o f a hill, slopping gently to the southeast. The jplant con­
sists of "O ld M ain,” containing the administrative offices, the
dining room and kitchen, many of the recitation rooms, the
auditorium, and the dormitories for men; Horton Hall, housing
the women students; the Alumni Gymnasium, containing the
swimming pool, special physical education rooms and showers,
Shearer Hall, containing the science laboratories. Other buildings
are the Ezra Lehman Memorial Library, the old Gymnasium, the
Business Education building, the Albert Lindsay Rowland Labor­
atory School, the President’s Residence, the Infirmary, the utility
buildings and garages, the power plant, and the sewage disposal
plant.
Library

The library is an independent, modern building with read­
ing rooms and stacks available from 8 a. m. until 5 p. m. and
from 7 until 9 p. m. Its collection of 2 4 ,0 0 0 books and over 200
current magazines provides ample facilities for study, research,
and recreation. Indices to library periodicals supply convenient
reference to earlier numbers, both bound and unbound, and
there are many encyclopedias, both general and special, for
research. A collection of over 8000 pictures, a clipping file, a
large pamphlet collection, and an interesting group of textbooks
and courses of study serve to meet the needs of the students
o f the college. The student will also find recreational reading
in the fields of biography, drama, fiction, and current events.
Trained librarians are on duty at all times to assist students in
finding material.
Laboratory Schools

The campus laboratory school contains a nursery school
equipped with dining room, kitchen, play room, sleeping room
and a separate playground with special play apparatus; a
kindergarten and provision for the first six elementary grades.

SHIPPENSBURG COLLEGE ISSUE

15

The building contains offices, a library, an auditorium||an art
room and service rooms. There is a playground equipped with
playground apparatus.
The schools of the Borough of Shippensburg are available
as student teaching laboratories. These schools include grades
from the first to the sixth and a two-teacher school for students
pursuing the rural curriculum. A junior high school, housed in
a separate building, and a senior high sch ools also separately
housed, each with a distinct organization and connected by a
central unit containing a gymnasium, an auditorium, a library,
offices, service rooms and class rooms, provide student teaching
laboratories for students pursuing the secondary curricula. T he
Shippensburg Borough Schools thus have a thoroughly modern
and attractive school plant.
Dormitories

The dormitory facilities are entirely modern, ? and the lava­
tories equipped with shower baths, tubs, and modern plumbing
throughout. Stairways of fireproof construction are provided for
all dormitories.
Auditorium

The main auditorium seats approximately 500 persons _and
is equipped with a motion picture booth. The stage is provided
with modern lighting facilities permitting the presentation of
dramatic performances of professional competence. Each W ed­
nesday morning an assembly program is held in the auditorium.
Attendance is required. Rowland H all is a small auditorium
seating 300.
Social Program

Shippensburg is a coeducational college. The enrollment
of men is approximately half the total student body. Profes­
sional, social and religious activities of many kinds are carried
on throughout the year consisting of debating, dramatics, athletics,
religious meetings, field days, intra-mural contests of various
kinds, dances, lectures and entertainments. Conferences and trips
to places of historic, scientific, and educational interest occur
frequently under proper supervision.
Health Program

Recognizing health as a basic objective of education, this
college makes ample provision for the protection and develop­
ment of the health of its students. In addition to the health

16

TH E TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD

examinations required for admission, provision is made for the
annual administration o f the Mantoux test, and ¿prays are taken
o f all cases of positive reaction. A registered nurse is in full-time
attendance at the college infirmary where two wards, one for
women and one for men, as well as private isolation rooms are
maintained. The college physician is on the campus every day and
is constantly subject to call. The college employs a trained diet­
itian, and under the college or family physician’s advice, special
diets are prescribed and provided.
Arrangements have been made by the College whereby
students may enroll in the Blue Cross plan for hospital care if
they are not already members on their parents’ contracts. This
voluntary, non-profit plan, sponsored by the hospitals, is a way
to assure yourself, and your family if married, the best of hospital
care when you need it without worry, debt, or loss of savings.
Capital Hospital Service, Inc., is the Blue Cross plan serving
central Pennsylvania.
Conduct

The college recognizes that the standard of conduct becom­
ing a prospective teacher is so high that it excludes all persons
whose habits and conduct are not worthy of the limitation o f
children who may be placed under their instruction. Since teachers
must first be able to discipline themselves, it is the aim o f the
college consistently to cultivate right habits of self-discipline on
the part o f its students.
The Profession of Teaching

This college is a professional school for the preparation o f
teachers and all of its curricula lead to certificates to teach in
the public schools of Pennsylvania. Teachers must be persons
of intelligence, and a high standard o f scholarship is required
for the baccalaureate degree. Teachers must be persons o f char­
acter and every opportunity is provided for the development of
a high standard o f character on the part o f each student. Those
who do not achieve this standard are invited to leave.
The teaching profession provides the most significant social
service possible for anyone to render, for upon the efficiency of
the public schools and the character, intelligence, and devotion
of the teachers, depends, in large measure, the national destiny.
T he college believes, however, that this professional prepara­
tion is the best preparation for general citizenship and for parent­
hood made today by American youth.

THE

CURRICULA

The curricula offered at this college include elementary education provid­
ing emphasis in early childhood education, in intermediate education or in
rural education; secondary education for teaching the various academic subjects
■of the junior and senior high school curricula; education for teaching in the
fields of adult education and business education. A curriculum known as
cooperative education provides! instruction in the techniques requisite in pro­
gressive schools. All curricula are four years in length and lead to the degree
of Bachelor of Science in Education and to a Provisional College Certificate
to teach in the public schools of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Since the national survey of teacher education, undertaken by the Office
of Education at Washington, revealed through its published reports the wisdom
of distributing the material in schools and colleges of education to provide
liberal, cultural basis in the first two years and place the professional emphasis
in the last two years, the curricula for the State Teachers Colleges of Penn­
sylvania have been revised to conform to these findings and the recommenda­
tions of this survey.

BUSINESS ED U CATIO N CU RR ICU LU M
Business Education Department

The State Teachers College, Shippensburg, Pennsylvania,
has been specifically designated by the State Department o f Pub­
lic Instruction to train teachers of business subjects for the high
schools and the junior high schools of the Commonwealth. The
fulfillm ent of the four-year requirement leads to the degree of
Bachelor of Science in Education, thereby certifying the gradu­
ates in the field of business education as teachers or as supervisors.
Young men and women who are graduates of academic or
commercial high school courses are afforded a splendid oppor­
tunity to obtain training in teaching techniques, and also in
business skills.
Purpose

The purpose of the curriculum in Business Education is to
provide thorough and systematic training in the fundamentals
o f business education, thus giving an intelligent understanding
of both the generalized and specialized spheres of education en­
compassed in the activities o f business education.
Teaching Sequence

The Department of Business Education offers four teaching
sequences: General Business, Accounting, Secretarial, and Retail
Selling. The General Business sequence leads to certification in
the three major fields of business— accounting, typewriting, and
shorthand. The Accounting, Secretarial, and Retail Selling se­
quences permit more freedom in the selection o f electives, thus
providing an opportunity for certification in other fields, or per­
mitting certification in two Business Education curricula. In addi­
tion to the sequence elected, certification to teach business law,
commercial arithmetic, economics, clerical practice, and junior
business training will be secured.
Equipment

Modern office machines are a part of the equipment of the
Department. Calculating and adding machines, posting mach­
ines, duplicating equipment— mimeograph and mimeoscopes—
dictating and transcribing units, and other up-to-date office
appliances enable the student to obtain both a theoretical knowl­
edge of and practical training in the use of the mechanical timesavers o f business.
♦Shippensburg State Teachers College is a member of the National Association
of Business Teacher-Training Institutions.

Opportunities

There is a large and growing demand for qualified degree­
holding teachers of business education in the high schools of
the Commonwealth. Orientation and exploratory courses, and
increased guidance in junior high schools have caused a demand
for teachers of elementary business training and kindred sub­
jects. The realization that retail selling needs trained personnel
has caused an impetus in the demand for teachers trained in
this phase of business education. More and more high schools
are taking advantage o f the services of graduates of the retail
selling course.
The main outcome o f the curriculum is qualified teachers of
business subjects, but various concomitant learnings emerge during
this period of training. The dual character o f the subject matter
enables a graduate to obtain command of various skills that are
usable in the business world. Thus, graduates are fitted to serve
in the educational world, and also in the business world.
I f at the end of two years a student does not desire to com­
plete the full course immediately,^ B e will be prepared to do
efficient work in an office until he can return to complete the last
two years and obtain his degree.
Practical Experience

Practical experience in various phases o f business is a vital
and essential part of the preparation of prospective business edu­
cation teachers. This experience,, to be of the most value, should
be in the field or fields in which the student is preparing to
teach. Such experience can be acquired largely during summer
vacations and part time while attending college.
Elective Fields

The fields of English, social studies, science, and geogra­
phy are especially recommended as other teaching combinations
for students in business education.
Teacher Placement

Our graduates are placed without charge in teaching posi­
tions through the Placement Department of our College. The
Department o f Business Education likewise takes special inter­
est in securing positions for its graduates. Teachers-in-service
also have the assistance of our Placement Department.

is conducted to meet the varying needs of different groups of
students :

Commercial teachers who wish to obtain additional
certification.

2.

Commercial teachers who wish to continue training for
the B.S. degree in Education.

3.

to complete the four-year course.

During these sessions courses are offered in the most mod­
ern commercial teaching theory, methods, and subject matter.
Those interested in the Summer Sessions should write for a
descriptive bulletin.

ADULT

EDUCATION

CURRICULUM

In the broadest sense adult education is concerned with all media of
-adult learning. Today in Pennsylvania thousands of adults are enrolled in
-class to seek help in solving felt needs involving almost every interest of
life. There are those who wish to secure credit toward high school or college
graduation; others need help in solving problems of family relationship; some
in understanding the economic situation; some, in interpreting^ social conditionsi others, in learning the responsibilities and duties of citizenship; still
others, in adjusting personality to new conditions; etc.
The demand for teachers to help groups meet these vital needs is strongly
felt at the present time. The State has recognized its obligation ,for adult
-education by providing funds for school districts which employ teachers for
adults. This college believes that it can serve the citizens of Pennsylvania
by educating teachers for this adult field.
A special four-year curriculum, authorized by the State Council of Edu­
cation and available at this college only, is designed to familiarize students
with the theory and practice of adult education. Graduates from this curriculum
will be prepared to serve in school districts that will wish to meet their
obligations to the adults of the community. In addition, by judicious selection
■of electives these graduates will be prepared to teach in the public schools of
the Commonwealth.
