GENERAL INFORMATION
Shippensburg is an Accredited College
Regional and national accrediting agencies have been estab
lished in the United States to assure the public that recognized
standards are being met by colleges, and to guard parents of
prospective students from exploitation at the hands of unworthy
colleges. The acknowledged accrediting agency for this region
of the country is the Middle States Association, and this college
is fully accredited by it. The national accrediting agency for
teachers colleges is the American Association of Colleges for Teach
er Education which has a membership of 258 fully accredited
teacher education institutions including the State Teachers College
at Shippensburg. The College is also a member o f the National
Association of Business Teacher-Training Institutions.
Location
The College is located on the northwest edge o f Shippensburg,
which is a town of approximately seven thousand people, situated
in the beautiful Cumberland Valley on the Pennsylvania Railroad,
forty miles southwest of Harrisburg on Route 11 of the Pennsylvania
highway. Carlisle, the county seat of Cumberland County, lies
twenty-two miles from Shippensburg toward Harrisburg, and Chambersburg, the county seat of Franklin County, eleven miles m the
opposite direction. The College is less than ten miles south of the
Blue Mountain terminal on the well-known Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Gettysburg, the county seat of Adams County, with its famous battle
field, now a national shrine, is but thirty miles distance. 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 institution was founded in 1871. The first class was
graduated in 1874. For more than fifty years the school continued
to serve as a State Normal School, graduating students prepared
and legally qualified to teach in the public schools of the Common
wealth. After 1922, high school graduation was required for ad-

authorized four-year curriculums based upon high school gradua
tion. In August, 1927, by authority of the General Assembly, this
institution became a college with the right to grant degrees. Its
name was changed to the State Teachers College at Shippensburg.

tunity to secure practical experience in an elementary school, a junior

practicum for one full semester, they have available the various
facilities of the college, and the course in Professional Practicum is
integrated with student teaching. School visitations and observa
tions are extremely important in implementing the work given in
college classes.
Social Program
Shippensburg is a co-educational college. The enrollment of
men has been half the total student body. Professional and social
activities of many kinds are carried on throughout the year con
sisting of assemblies, dramatics, athletics, field days, intramural
contests of various kinds, dances, lectures and entertainments. Con
ferences and trips to places of historic, scientific, and educational
interest occur frequently under proper supervision.
Health Program and Insurance
Recognizing health as a basic objective of education, this college
makes ample provision for the protection and development of the
health of its students. In addition to the health examinations required
for admission, provision is made for the annual administration of
the Mantoux test or mass X-rays. 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 campus every day and is constantly
subject to call.
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 of their parents’ contracts. This voluntary, non
profit plan, sponsored by the hospitals, is a way to assure yourself,
and if married your family the best hospital care when you need
it without worry, debt, or loss of savings.
Shippensburg offers two plans of student insurance which cover
the student from the first day of school until the close of school
in the spring.
1. Accident Reimbursement— Reimbursement will be made up
to $500 for each accident. It makes no difference whether
the accident occurs at college, at home or while traveling or
participating in sports. Expenses include X-rays, hospital
18
TH E TEACHERS COLLEGE H ERALD
bills, nurses’ , physicians’ and surgeons’ fees, laboratory costs,
medicines, and, in fact any medical expense incurred as a
result o f an accident.
2. Accident and Sickness Reimbursement— Reimbursement will
be made for actual medical expenses, not to exceed $500
for each illness.
The Student Insurance Plans supplement the College Health
Program by protecting the student from the expense o f the more
costly illnesses and injuries requiring hospital care, surgical treat
ment, x-ray examinations or consultants’ services.
Rates and
detailed information can be secured through the College Business
Office.
Conduct
The college recognizes that the standard of conduct becoming
a prospective teacher is so high that it excludes all persons whose
habits and conduct are not worthy o f the imitation 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 to con
sistently cultivate right habits of self-discipline on the part o f its
students.
Religious Life
Shippensburg provides opportunities for wholesome and re
ligious church life. At the beginning o f each semester, the names
o f all students are forwarded to the clergymen of the churches
designated by the students, and they are urged to continue their
church duties and obligations. Many o f the churches have activities
to which the students are especially invited.
Among the churches represented in the Shippensburg area, the
following are found: Catholic, Church o f the Brethren, Church of
God, Episcopal, Evangelical United Brethren, Lutheran, Methodist.
Nazarene, Presbyterian, Reformed, and United Brethren.
Summer Session
In the summer, two three-week and one six-week sessions are
conducted to meet the various needs of different groups of students:
1. Teachers who wish to increase the scope o f their teaching
certificate or complete work for a degree.

2. Students who find it advantageous to continue their educa
tion throughout the year, thus graduating at an earlier date.
3. Students who desire to make up certain deficiencies.

business, elementary, secondary, and nursing education. A special
descriptive bulletin will he sent upon request.
College Living Accommodations

tories, in their own homes, or in approved residences. The dormi
tory rooms have new single beds furnished with new mattresses,
pillows, sheets, pillow slips, and one blanket. Students should furnish
a study lamp, extra blankets, towels, wash cloths, and soap. Many
students provide window curtains, dresser scarf, bed spread, and
small throw rugs. Radios are permitted if operated with due con
sideration for others. Other electric appliances are not permitted
in the rooms.
Laundry Facilities
Limited laundry service is provided to hoarding students for

THE PURPOSE OF THE COLLEGE
This college is a co-educational, professional school for the
preparation of teachers. The completion of any one of its five
curriculums leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in Education
and to certification for teaching in the public schools of Pennsylvania.
The college believes that our curriculums also afford a general and
liberal preparation for complete living, and that such professional
training is an effective preparation for parenthood and for construc
tive citizenship. We believe, further, that the teaching profession
provides a most significant social service, as upon the efficiency of
the public school and upon the intelligence and devotion o f its
teachers depend in large measure the hope and destiny of the nation.
We believe that our students can reach a high level of selfrealization and professional efficiency through self discipline, intel
lectual achievement, and social, moral, and spiritual growth. We
also believe that the nature of the educational process is growth
and guided development of the individual. Believing in these things,
therefore, we are striving to develop the individual student to the
greatest possible extent within his capacities, so that he can live
successftilly, demonstrate personal integrity, and make his contribu
tion to society. We also strive to use the democratic process in the
administration of the college and in the relations among adminis
trators, faculty, and students, as its use is considered essential to the
student’s daily thinking and living.
To that end, the administration and the faculty of this college
are working together to demonstrate these tenets through the follow
ing objectives:
L To maintain a cooperative faculty continuously growing in
professional interest and ability.
2. To recruit and admit, in so far as possible, the more desirable
graduates from approved high schools.
3. To evaluate the curriculums continuously
adaptation to specific current needs.

family relationships and o f the services to be rendered by
teachers in a community.

38
TH E TEACHERS COLLEGE H ERALD
be made directly to the President of the Club. Each new award is
made when the scholarship student in college graduates, voluntarily
withdraws, or does not maintain satisfactory grades.
College Club Scholarship
The College Club of Shippensburg provides several $50 scholar
ships to graduates of the Shippensburg High School who are defin
itely interested in teaching. Each high school graduate selected
for this scholarship receives $50 a year toward college expenses un
til graduation, withdrawal, or failure to maintain better than an
average college record. Students interested in this scholarship should
consult the high school principal.
W ork Opportunities
At the College there are opportunities for part-time employment.
These part-time jobs are limited mainly to upperclassmen who are
definitely in need o f financial aid, who have demonstrated their abil
ity to do satisfactory academic work, and have proven themselves
to be worthy college citizens. Those positions are confined to work
in the kitchen, dining rooms, library, offices, and in janitorial duties.
Application for such employment should be made to the President of
the College on regular forms provided.
There are occasional work opportunities for part-time employ
ment in the community. Students who have had experience in
stores, garages, and other types o f work can, at times find odd jobs
to do in and around Shippensburg. These jobs are usually for men
and should be obtained through the Dean of Men.
There is a reasonable amount of work opportunities in private
homes where students can receive payment by the hour or in terms
o f board or room. Students may make these contacts through
friends, alumni, business manager, or the Dean of Women prior to
the beginning o f each semester. However, students and their par
ents, or guardians, assume responsibility for such arrangements in
private homes.
The Hannah A. Kieffer Rural Scholarship Loan
Miss Hannah A. Kieffer, a former instructor in the College,
bequeathed a sum of money to the College as a loan fund for scholar
ships for the sole use of needy students majoring in Elementary Edu-

cation. Students who are interested and who qualify for this loan
should apply through the College President. Students who wish to
teach in a rural school will receive consideration.
6PW Student Loan Fund
The Business and Professional Women’s Club o f Shippensburg
has established a Scholarship Loan Fund which provides money to
help pay the college fees for a worthy woman student who is a gradu
ate of the Shippensburg High School. The club selects the student,
and applications should be made directly to the President of the Club
who will furnish all details. Payments will cease upon the student’s
withdrawal or failure to maintain average or better than average rec
ord in scholarship, character and citizenship.
THE A L U M N I LOAN FUND
This fund is the result o f money contributed by various groups
and individuals for the purpose of helping students who need finan
cial aid. The fund is administered and controlled by a board com
posed of three alumni members, the College President, and the Col
lege Business Manager.
A member of the Junior or Senior Class who is in need o f as
sistance may secure an application blank from the President o f the
College and apply for aid according to the constitution adopted to
administer the fund. Loans may be made to students who are in
the last half of their college career. The loan has been limited to one
hundred dollars per semester, although more can be secured, the
exact amount determined by the board in accordance with the merits
of the case and the status o f the fund.
This fund now has a total of approximately $8,000 a large per
centage of which has been in use. Some of the money has been
given in the form o f so-called Alumni Scholarship Loans in memory
of, or in honor of, certain individuals and some has been left by class
es either at graduation time or at a later class reunion. The Class of
1904 originated the fund at graduation and added to it at their
fiftieth reunion. The following is a list of the recorded and known
donors along with the names thus honored:

SCHOLASTIC REGULATIONS
R E Q U IR E M E N T S FOR A D M IS S IO N
The following general admission requirements were adopted by
the Board of State Teachers College Presidents November 20, 1953:
1. General scholarship as evidenced by graduation from an
approved secondary school or equivalent preparation as determined
by the Credentials Evaluation Division of the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Public Instruction. College authorities will make an apprais
al of the student’s detailed secondary school record in order to de
termine his capacity to do satisfactory college work. In some cases
the college should seek further evidence from the results of a reliable
aptitude test such as the American Council on Education Psycholog
ical Examinations. (On this test, for example, many students falling
below the 25th percentile appear to have difficulty in achieving aca
demic success in college.)
2. Satisfactory character and personality traits as well as prop
er attitudes and interests as determined by the high school principal,
guidance director or other school official acquainted with the student.
3. Health and physical condition as evidenced by a health exam
ination by the student’s family physician reported on the adopted
form and approved by the college physician. No student shall be
admitted who has, in the opinion o f the college, disabilities which
would impair his service as a teacher.
4. Recommendations of two or more college staff members fol
lowing a personal interview of the applicant.
5. For admission to special curricula the college may require
the candidate to take an appropriate aptitude test in the special
field in order to obtain further evidence o f ability to succeed in the
student’s chosen field.
A D M IS S IO N T O SH IP P E N SB U R G
To be admitted to the Freshman Class at the State Teachers
College, Shippensburg, an applicant shall take the following steps:
1. Secure from the college a set o f application blanks, two of
which shall be filled out in detail by the applicant, one to be complet
ed by the principal of the high school from which the applicant has
graduated, and one for the family physician to complete.
42
TH E TEACHERS COLLEGE H ERALD
2. Have the completed application forms sent to the Dean of
Instruction as early as possible. The ten dollar ($10.00) advance
reservation fee should accompany the application blank. This is ab
solutely necessary if a dormitory room reservation is desired.
3. Arrange with the Dean o f Instruction for an appointment at
the college with the interview committee some time between May 1
and September Is These should be completed at an early date.
4. IMPORTANT. If the high school grades have placed the
applicant in the lower half o f the graduating class it is necessary
for the applicant to appear at the college on one o f the following
dates for placement tests:
June 11.
July 16.
August 20.
Tests begin at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Saving Time and will
be given in the “ Old Main” Auditorium.
T E S T IN G P R O G R A M
The following testing program has been adopted by the Board
o f State Teachers College Presidents:
1. To assist in the counselling of students the college shall re
quire each freshman to take a recognized aptitude test such as the
American Council on Education Psychological Examination and a
test on Communications such as the Cooperative English Test pub
lished by the Educational Testing Service.
2. In order to determine the student’s achievement for further
guidance the college may administer to all sophomore students the
Cooperative Tests in English, Contemporary Affairs and General
Culture published by the Educational Testing Service. A careful
study o f each individual student by selected faculty members near the
close o f the sophomore year is also recommended.
3. In order to measure the academic success of the student as
well as the effectiveness o f the instructional program o f the college,
the college may administer, at the request and expense of the student,
a recognized terminal test.
A D V A N C E D S T A N D IN G S
1. Advanced credit will be given for equivalent courses com
pleted in approved institutions of collegiate grade where
the course grade received is above the minimum passing
grade prescribed by the transferring institution. No student
SHIPPENSBURG COLLEGE ISSUE
43
may obtain a certificate or degree without a minimum resi
dence o f one year in this college. A student transferring
from another college will be required to present a statement of
honorable dismissal from that college and to meet the same
entrance requirements as any other applicant.
2. No candidate for a college certificate receives more than
thirty-two semester hours credit toward graduation for work
done in extension classes.
3. No credit is given for correspondence work taken after Sep
tember 1, 1927.
4. Persons who have completed the work o f the two-year Early
Childhood, Intermediate, or Rural curriculums are admitted
to junior standing for a degree, provided they are graduates
of an approved four-year high school. The exact number of
credit hours granted depends upon the curriculum which the
student has completed and the one in which he wishes to
secure his degree. Those who become candidates for the
degree in the elementary field secure two full years’ credit, but
those who transfer to the secondary field lose some credit,
usually from ten to twelve hours.
5. Graduates of State Normal Schools prior to September, 1920,
who have had a four-year high school preparation, are
awarded not more than sixty-four semester hours o f credit
toward the baccalaureate degree.
6. Graduates o f State Normal Schools, who lack four years of
high school preparation, may apply to the Pre-Professional
Credentials Division, Department of Public Instruction, Har
risburg, Pennsylvania, for a high school equivalent certificate,
which when issued by this Division, will be accepted by the
State Teachers College as equivalent to graduation from a
four-year high school.
7. No credit for public or private teaching experience, previously
credited as high school equivalent or as equivalent profession
al credit toward graduation, is granted or counted toward
meeting the requirements for entrance to or graduation from
the four-year curricula.
S C H O L A S T IC PROGRESS
To assist each student, a progress report is secured by the Dean
of Instruction each mid-semester when the teacher hands to the ad
ministration office a record o f the students not doing satisfactory
44
TH E TEACHERS COLLEGE H ERALD
work. A report is made to each student and, when necessary, to the
parents. At the end o f the semester, a permanent grade is recorded
for each student, and a copy is sent to the parents. Grades are not
reported to the parents o f trainees attending the college under the
Veterans Administration.
Q U A L IT Y P O IN T SY ST E M
1. Just as there is a quality standard for passing each course
so there is a quality standard for completing a curricu
lum. This is made possible by the establishment of a quality
point system which means that students cannot be graduated
by merely having passing grades in each course.
2. A Quality Point System is in operation and demands that
before a student can be graduated, he must have a number
o f quality points equal to the number of semester hours re
quired in the curriculum, exclusive o f the student teaching
requirement. That is, a student must have 128 semester
hours of credit to be graduated, and, under the quality
point system he must have 128 quality points.
3. The Quality Point schedule is as follows:
An “ A ” grade gives 3 quality points for each semester
hour o f credit so marked; a “ B” grade, 2 quality points;
a “ C” grade, 1 quality point; a “ D” grade, no quality points;
a failure grade o f “ F” gives a minus one quality point for
each semester hour. The part dealing with the failure grade
became effective September 1,1949.
4. Students shall not be admitted to student teaching when
they have a deficiency o f more than six quality points.
5. Students whose quality point-semester hour ratio is below
.65 at the end of the Sophomore year shall not be permitted
to register for additional new courses required in their cur
riculum until their quality point ratio has been raised to
a .75 or above. (Effective for all students who entered sub
sequent to September 1, 1948.)
6. Students whose competence is demonstrated by placement
tests and educational records, who wish to select advanced
courses may, with the approval of the institution, substitute
such approved advanced courses in a particular field for those
listed in the curriculum. This regulation applies to all cur
ricula.

The students are to consider each o f their instructors as an
official adviser. The instructors o f this college study the educational
and social background as well as the aptitude and interests o f their
students. On the office door o f each instructor is posted the office
hours during which time students are expected to come for help.
Many other scheduled conferences are held between the instructors
and the students. Problems and difficulties of the students receive
patient and sympathetic attention, thus avoiding many pitfalls which
ordinarily befall students without such guidance.
S T U D E N T T E A C H IN G
1. Student teaching is the most essential course provided in
the Teachers College. An assignment for the full time o f one
semester is essential for each student. Learning proper pro
fessional attitudes, legal requirements, pupil records, extra
class activities, community contacts, as well as classroom
techniques are essential parts o f student teaching experi
ence.
2. Student teaching may be assigned only to those students
who have completed a semester o f work at the Shippensburg
State Teachers College prior to their student teaching assign
ment. This applies to students who have attended other col
leges.
3. Former college students who have completed some o f the re
quired student teaching at Shippensburg are eligible for ad
ditional student teaching by extension provided they have
had three years of satisfactory teaching experience.
4. Credit may not be given for teaching experience. Where
teachers of experience have had some o f their student teach
ing, arrangements for completing the full requirement may
be made with the Dean o f Instruction.
5. Teachers who have had three or more years of successful
teaching experience in the public schools may meet their
student teaching requirement by actual student teaching;
or perform an assignment o f work germane to teaching
technique in connection with regular teaching in a public
school in keeping with State Council regulations, or com
pleting courses germane to teaching technique where only
a few credits remain for the full requirement o f twelve
credits.

2. A minimum of 128 semester hours, including all required
courses, is required for graduation.
3. A minimum o f 128 quality points is required.
4. The teaching ability o f a student shall be satisfactory to
the Director of Student Teaching regardless o f other credits.

COMM ENCEMENT
There is one commencement exercise held each year, usually
the last week in May. At this annual commencement, students who
have completed the required work for degrees from the summer of
the year preceding the time of the commencement exercises, constitute
the graduating class for that year. All students who complete degree
requirements within this one year period are required to participate
in all parts of the exercises including the wearing of the cap and gown
on the day that degrees are conferred.
C E R T IF IC A T IO N OF T E A C H ER S
Pennsylvania law requires an applicant fo r a teachers certifi
cate to be a citizen of the United States.
A student who receives a college degree after completing a
four-year curriculum will be granted a provisional College Certificate,
which is issued by the Department of Public Instruction, provided an
application has been filled out by the graduate for such a certificate.
This provisional college certificate which indicates the subjects the
holder is permitted to teach is valid for three years of teaching and is
SfflPPE N SB U R G COLLEGE ISSUE
47
not to be confused with the diploma issued at graduation. It is im
portant to remember that this certificate is not valid for teaching in
any other state outside o f Pennsylvania.
A College Certificate, valid for the elementary field, may be
extended to include teaching in the secondary field by having com
pleted 12 semester hours of professional work applicable to the sec
ondary school; six of which must be in student teaching. There must
be 18 semester hours of credit in the field for which certification is
desired.
A College Certificate valid for teaching in the secondary school
may be extended to the elementary field by the presentation of thirty
semester hours o f work in professional education applicable to the
elementary grades; at least six of the credits must be in elementary
student teaching.
The Provisional College Certificate may be made permanent
after it has been used for three years o f successful teaching experi
ence in the appropriate field in the Pubic Schools of Pennsylvania
provided a teacher rating of “ middle” or better has been secured and
at least six semester hours o f additional preparation o f collegiate
grade has been completed subsequent to the baccalaureate degree;
one half o f which credit must be professional, and the remainder re
lated to the subjects or subject field in which the holder is certificated
to teach.
Residents of Pennsylvania who graduate from this college are
required to teach at least two years in the Commonwealth.
PLACEM ENT
The College maintains a placement office as part of its public
service. Its purpose is to aid students and graduates in obtaining
desirable positions as teachers. It will render assistance to school
officials in locating well qualified teachers who fit the requirements
of vacancies in the schools o f the Commonwealth.
Seniors are requested to enroll with the placement office during
the time they are doing their student teaching. While the place
ment office does not guarantee a position, it offers without cost, op
portunities which would not otherwise be available. Alumni and
school officials are urged to use this school service and to cooperate
in making the service more reliable and worthwhile for both the stu
dent and the schools to be served.

THE CURRICULUMS
The Curriculums offered at this college include elementary
education providing emphasis in early childhood education, in
intermediate education or in rural education; secondary education
for teaching the various academic subjects o f the junior and senior
high school fields; education for teaching in the field o f business
education; and education for Public School Nurses and Dental
Hygienists. All Curriculums are four years in length and lead to the
degree o f Bachelor o f Science in Education and to a Provisional
College Certificate to teach in the public schools o f the Common
wealth o f Pennsylvania.
N E W E M P H A S IS
The new curriculums hold a broad basis of general education—
the common learnings necessary for living in the social and the
physical environment— the development o f the arts and skills of
communication common to cultured people, the understanding and
acceptance o f the higher moral, aesthetic and spiritual values, and
the essential knowledge and habits necessary to maintain mental
and physical well being.
The professional courses and experiences recognized as basic
or required by law or regulation for all teachers have been included
and, in addition to them, the specific training designed for com
petency at various age levels and in various fields o f teaching has
been provided.
The outlines o f courses in the elementary, secondary and the
special fields are used as a basis and as continuing study of more
effective materials and methods o f fulfilling the purpose for which
the teachers colleges o f Pennsylvania were established— “ the educa
tion and preparation o f teachers” for the public schools o f the
Commonwealth.
S E L E C T IO N O F C U R R IC U L U M
Curriculum and areas o f specialization should be selected with
care and with the advice o f college authorities. Many students will
undertake graduate study after completing the undergraduate prep
aration for teaching. Since requirements for admission to graduate
schools vary widely, not only with different colleges, but with the
fields o f study within a given college, undergraduates are advised to
explore during the junior and senior years the opportunities and
requirements for graduate study in their chosen fields to enable them
to meet the special requirements wherever possible.
SHIPPENSBURG COLLEGE ISSUE

E L E M E N T A R Y C U R R IC U L U M
The curriculum for the preparation o f elementary teachers is
one of the best in the country. It provides a broad academic back
ground in addition to the various professional courses necessary for
an elementary teacher. Every course is given with a distinctive
purpose.
Professional Opportunities
For the past twenty years the demand for teachers completing
the elementary curriculum has surpassed the supply. Recently the
shortage o f elementary teachers has been most critical and the
graduate in this field has had the privilege o f choosing one o f many
offers. The demand has been so great that a number o f students
have accelerated their program through attending the summer ses
sions, thus graduating in less than the regular four year period.
Elementary teachers in Pennsylvania receive the same beginning
salary as teachers in high schools. Teachers in rural districts where
the cost of living is usually lower, receive the same initial salary as
teachers in larger towns and cities. Teaching experience in the
elementary field is very advantageous for young men and women
who desire to become administrators, supervisors, or specialists.
Graduates o f the elementary curriculum may have their College
certificate extended to include the secondary fields by attending col
lege several summer sessions. Graduates in the secondary curriculum
may have their college certificate extended to include the elementary
field by completing thirty additional hours o f appropriate professional
courses. In past years a number of students who completed the
secondary curriculum have taken this added work in the elementary
field and have made rapid progress in the profession.

TH E TEACH ERS COLLEGE H ERALD
S E C O N D A R Y C U R R IC U L U M
The curriculum for the preparation o f secondary teachers is
flexible because of the selection of major and minor fields of con
centration. These fields of concentration become the fields in which
the student is certificated to teach. During the past number of years
the demand for teachers of science and mathematics has more often
exhausted the supply than in some other fields especially English and
social studies.
There is a demand for teachers who possess an advanced degree
in subject fields. This curriculum is so devised that a student can com
plete a sufficient number of courses in an academic field to give the
necessary foundation for such advanced degrees.

THE TEACH ERS COLLEGE H ERALD
BU SIN E SS E D U C A T IO N C U R R IC U L U M
The State Teachers College, Shippenshurg, Pennsylvania, has
been specifically designated by the State Department o f Public
Instruction and the State Council of Education to prepare teachers
o f business subjects for high schools and junior high schools of
the Commonwealth. The fulfillment o f the four-year requirement
leads to the degree of Bachelor o f Science in Education, thereby
certificating the graduates in the field o f business education as
teachers or as supervisors.
Young men and women who are graduated from the high school
academic, business, or general course are afforded a splendid
opportunity to obtain preparation in teaching techniques and in
business skills.
Purpose
The purpose of the curriculum in Business Education is to
provide thorough and systematic preparation in the fundamentals
of business education, thus giving an intelligent understanding of
both the generalized and specialized spheres of education encom
passed in the activities of business education.
Teaching Sequence
The Department of Business Education offers four teaching
sequences: Combined, Secretarial, Retail Selling, and Accounting.
The General Business sequence leads to certification in the three
major fields of business— shorthand, typewriting, and accounting.
The Secretarial, Retail Selling, and Accounting sequences permit
more freedom in the selection o f electives, thus providing an oppor
tunity for certification in other fields, or permitting certification in
two Business Education sequences. In addition to the sequence
elected, certification to teach business law, business arithmetic,
economics, clerical practice and office machines, business English,
and junior business training is secured.
Equipment
Modem office machines are a part o f the equipment of the
Department. Calculating and adding machines, posting machines,
duplicating equipment— mimeograph, mimeoscopes, hectograph—
dictating and transcribing units, and other up-to-date office appliances
enable the student to ohtain both a theoretical knowledge and prac
tical training in the use o f the mechanical time-savers o f business.
SHIPPENSBURG COLLEGE ISSUE

Opportunities
There is a large and growing demand for qualified degree
holding teachers of business education in the high schools o f the
Commonwealth. The demand for stenographic and typewriting
teachers far surpasses the supply. Orientation and exploratory
courses, and increased guidance in junior high schools have caused
a demand for teachers o f elementary business training and kindred
subjects. The realization that retail selling needs trained personnel
has caused an impetus in the demand for teachers prepared in this
phase of business education. The main outcome of the curriculum
is qualified teachers o f business subjects, but various concomitant
learnings emerge during this period of preparation.
Practical Experience
Practical experience i n ' various phases of business is a vital
and essential part of the preparation o f prospective business educa
tion 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.
GRADUATION REQUIREM ENTS AND GENERAL INFO RM ATIO N
1. On completing the basic first year o f the Business Education curriculum,
students are expected to choose one o f the follow ing: Combined Sequence,
Accounting Sequence, Secretarial Sequence or Retail Selling Sequence as
shown on the following pages.
2. Sequence o f courses is subject to change for administrative reasons.
3. The satisfactory completion o f the curriculum outlined with not fewer than
128 semester hours is required for graduation.
4. Any courses offered at the college may be chosen as electives subject to
the approval o f the President.
5. To be graduated with a Retail Selling Sequence, two semesters o f Account
ing credit are required.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Shippensburg is an Accredited College
Regional and national accrediting agencies have been estab
lished in the United States to assure the public that recognized
standards are being met by colleges, and to guard parents of
prospective students from exploitation at the hands of unworthy
colleges. The acknowledged accrediting agency for this region
of the country is the Middle States Association, and this college
is fully accredited by it. The national accrediting agency for
teachers colleges is the American Association of Colleges for Teach
er Education which has a membership of 258 fully accredited
teacher education institutions including the State Teachers College
at Shippensburg. The College is also a member o f the National
Association of Business Teacher-Training Institutions.
Location
The College is located on the northwest edge o f Shippensburg,
which is a town of approximately seven thousand people, situated
in the beautiful Cumberland Valley on the Pennsylvania Railroad,
forty miles southwest of Harrisburg on Route 11 of the Pennsylvania
highway. Carlisle, the county seat of Cumberland County, lies
twenty-two miles from Shippensburg toward Harrisburg, and Chambersburg, the county seat of Franklin County, eleven miles m the
opposite direction. The College is less than ten miles south of the
Blue Mountain terminal on the well-known Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Gettysburg, the county seat of Adams County, with its famous battle
field, now a national shrine, is but thirty miles distance. 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 institution was founded in 1871. The first class was
graduated in 1874. For more than fifty years the school continued
to serve as a State Normal School, graduating students prepared
and legally qualified to teach in the public schools of the Common
wealth. After 1922, high school graduation was required for ad-

mission to the institution. In 1926 the State Council of Education
authorized four-year curriculums based upon high school gradua
tion. In August, 1927, by authority of the General Assembly, this
institution became a college with the right to grant degrees. Its
name was changed to the State Teachers College at Shippensburg.
The principals and presidents o f the college have been as
follows: George P. Beard, 1872-75; I. N. Hays, 1875-78; B. S. Potter,
1879-82; S. B. Heiges, 1882-86; J. F. McCreary, 1886-89; G. M. D.
Eckles-1889-1907; S. A. Martin, 1907-1913; Ezra Lehman, 1913-31;
Albert L. Rowland, 1932-45; Levi Gilbert, 1945-48; Harry L. Kriner,
1948Campus
The campus consists of eighty acres with two fully equipped
athletic fields, Eckles 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 entire campus
has been carefully landscaped with beautiful shrubs, trees, flowers
and convenient driveways. The thirteen all brick buildings on the
campus are arranged in a curving line on the crest of a hill, slop
ing gently to the southeast and around a quadrangle in the center
o f the campus.
Buildings
OLD MAIN, located in the front center and highest part of
the campus, is the oldest building first used in 1871. It has been
modernized at various times. Its beautiful tower can be seen for
miles in any direction. The first floor contains the offices o f the
Business Manager, the Cafeteria, the Bookstore, Post Office, quar
ters for commuting students, several supply rooms, Dining Hall and
Kitchen. The second floor contains the offices o f the President,
Dean of Instruction, Director of Student Teaching and Placement,
and Registrar, ten classrooms, a number of faculty offices and the
“ Old Main” auditorium. The third and fourth floors are used for
the men’s dormitory.
HORTON HALL, the dormitory for women, was built in 1894
and is located west o f “ Old Main.” a bridge on the second floor level. In 1921 the building was wired
for electricity, and a small addition was built in 1929. The renova
tions made in 1950 provide a lobby for each o f the four floors and
sixteen additional rooms for students on the first floor, and two in
door fire proof stairways which replace the old outside fire escapes.

Social Program
Shippensburg is a co-educational college. The enrollment of
men has been half the total student body. Professional and social
activities of many kinds are carried on throughout the year con
sisting of assemblies, dramatics, athletics, field days, intramural
contests of various kinds, dances, lectures and entertainments. Con
ferences and trips to places of historic, scientific, and educational
interest occur frequently under proper supervision.
Health Program and Insurance
Recognizing health as a basic objective of education, this college
makes ample provision for the protection and development of the
health of its students. In addition to the health examinations required
for admission, provision is made for the annual administration of
the Mantoux test or mass X-rays. 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 campus every day and is constantly
subject to call.
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 of their parents’ contracts. This voluntary, non
profit plan, sponsored by the hospitals, is a way to assure yourself,
and if married your family the best hospital care when you need
it without worry, debt, or loss of savings.
Shippensburg offers two plans of student insurance which cover
the student from the first day of school until the close of school
in the spring.
1. Accident Reimbursement— Reimbursement will be made up
to $500 for each accident. It makes no difference whether
the accident occurs at college, at home or while traveling or
participating in sports. Expenses include X-rays, hospital

medicines, and, in fact any medical expense incurred as a
result o f an accident.
2. Accident and Sickness Reimbursement— Reimbursement will
be made for actual medical expenses, not to exceed $500
for each illness.
The Student Insurance Plans supplement the College Health
Program by protecting the student from the expense o f the more
costly illnesses and injuries requiring hospital care, surgical treat
ment, x-ray examinations or consultants’ services.
Rates and
detailed information can be secured through the College Business
Office.

students.

THE PURPOSE OF THE COLLEGE
This college is a co-educational, professional school for the
preparation of teachers. The completion of any one of its five
curriculums leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in Education
and to certification for teaching in the public schools of Pennsylvania.
The college believes that our curriculums also afford a general and
liberal preparation for complete living, and that such professional
training is an effective preparation for parenthood and for construc
tive citizenship. We believe, further, that the teaching profession
provides a most significant social service, as upon the efficiency of
the public school and upon the intelligence and devotion o f its
teachers depend in large measure the hope and destiny of the nation.
We believe that our students can reach a high level of selfrealization and professional efficiency through self discipline, intel
lectual achievement, and social, moral, and spiritual growth. We
also believe that the nature of the educational process is growth
and guided development of the individual. Believing in these things,
therefore, we are striving to develop the individual student to the
greatest possible extent within his capacities, so that he can live
successftilly, demonstrate personal integrity, and make his contribu
tion to society. We also strive to use the democratic process in the
administration of the college and in the relations among adminis
trators, faculty, and students, as its use is considered essential to the
student’s daily thinking and living.
To that end, the administration and the faculty of this college
are working together to demonstrate these tenets through the follow
ing objectives:
L To maintain a cooperative faculty continuously growing in
professional interest and ability.
2. To recruit and admit, in so far as possible, the more desirable
graduates from approved high schools.
3. To evaluate the curriculums continuously
adaptation to specific current needs.

common interest.

family relationships and o f the services to be rendered by
teachers in a community.
9. To provide opportunities for the student to acquire both the
knowledge of and the appreciation for the WORK OF THE
TEACHER.
The college aims to attain its objectives through the processes
outlined in a set o f policies adopted by the faculty. Committees have

average college record. Students interested in this scholarship should
consult the high school principal.
W ork Opportunities
At the College there are opportunities for part-time employment.
These part-time jobs are limited mainly to upperclassmen who are
definitely in need o f financial aid, who have demonstrated their abil
ity to do satisfactory academic work, and have proven themselves
to be worthy college citizens. Those positions are confined to work
in the kitchen, dining rooms, library, offices, and in janitorial duties.
Application for such employment should be made to the President of
the College on regular forms provided.
There are occasional work opportunities for part-time employ
ment in the community. Students who have had experience in
stores, garages, and other types o f work can, at times find odd jobs
to do in and around Shippensburg. These jobs are usually for men
and should be obtained through the Dean of Men.
There is a reasonable amount of work opportunities in private
homes where students can receive payment by the hour or in terms
o f board or room. Students may make these contacts through
friends, alumni, business manager, or the Dean of Women prior to
the beginning o f each semester. However, students and their par
ents, or guardians, assume responsibility for such arrangements in
private homes.

and applications should be made directly to the President of the Club
who will furnish all details. Payments will cease upon the student’s
withdrawal or failure to maintain average or better than average rec
ord in scholarship, character and citizenship.
THE A L U M N I LOAN FUND
This fund is the result o f money contributed by various groups
and individuals for the purpose of helping students who need finan
cial aid. The fund is administered and controlled by a board com
posed of three alumni members, the College President, and the Col
lege Business Manager.
A member of the Junior or Senior Class who is in need o f as
sistance may secure an application blank from the President o f the
College and apply for aid according to the constitution adopted to
administer the fund. Loans may be made to students who are in
the last half of their college career. The loan has been limited to one
hundred dollars per semester, although more can be secured, the
exact amount determined by the board in accordance with the merits
of the case and the status o f the fund.
This fund now has a total of approximately $8,000 a large per
centage of which has been in use. Some of the money has been
given in the form o f so-called Alumni Scholarship Loans in memory
of, or in honor of, certain individuals and some has been left by class
es either at graduation time or at a later class reunion. The Class of
1904 originated the fund at graduation and added to it at their
fiftieth reunion. The following is a list of the recorded and known

the Board of State Teachers College Presidents November 20, 1953:
1. General scholarship as evidenced by graduation from an
approved secondary school or equivalent preparation as determined
by the Credentials Evaluation Division of the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Public Instruction. College authorities will make an apprais
al of the student’s detailed secondary school record in order to de
termine his capacity to do satisfactory college work. In some cases
the college should seek further evidence from the results of a reliable
aptitude test such as the American Council on Education Psycholog
ical Examinations. (On this test, for example, many students falling
below the 25th percentile appear to have difficulty in achieving aca
demic success in college.)
2. Satisfactory character and personality traits as well as prop
er attitudes and interests as determined by the high school principal,
guidance director or other school official acquainted with the student.
3. Health and physical condition as evidenced by a health exam
ination by the student’s family physician reported on the adopted
form and approved by the college physician. No student shall be
admitted who has, in the opinion o f the college, disabilities which
would impair his service as a teacher.
4. Recommendations of two or more college staff members fol
lowing a personal interview of the applicant.
5. For admission to special curricula the college may require
the candidate to take an appropriate aptitude test in the special
field in order to obtain further evidence o f ability to succeed in the
student’s chosen field.

42
TH E TEACHERS COLLEGE H ERALD
2. Have the completed application forms sent to the Dean of
Instruction as early as possible. The ten dollar ($10.00) advance
reservation fee should accompany the application blank. This is ab
solutely necessary if a dormitory room reservation is desired.

for the applicant to appear at the college on one o f the following
dates for placement tests:
June 11.
July 16.
August 20.

T E S T IN G P R O G R A M
The following testing program has been adopted by the Board
o f State Teachers College Presidents:
1. To assist in the counselling of students the college shall re
quire each freshman to take a recognized aptitude test such as the
American Council on Education Psychological Examination and a
test on Communications such as the Cooperative English Test pub
lished by the Educational Testing Service.
2. In order to determine the student’s achievement for further
guidance the college may administer to all sophomore students the
Cooperative Tests in English, Contemporary Affairs and General
Culture published by the Educational Testing Service. A careful
study o f each individual student by selected faculty members near the
close o f the sophomore year is also recommended.
3. In order to measure the academic success of the student as
well as the effectiveness o f the instructional program o f the college,
the college may administer, at the request and expense of the student,
a recognized terminal test.
A D V A N C E D S T A N D IN G S
1. Advanced credit will be given for equivalent courses com
pleted in approved institutions of collegiate grade where
the course grade received is above the minimum passing
grade prescribed by the transferring institution. No student
SHIPPENSBURG COLLEGE ISSUE
43
may obtain a certificate or degree without a minimum resi
dence o f one year in this college. A student transferring
from another college will be required to present a statement of
honorable dismissal from that college and to meet the same
entrance requirements as any other applicant.
2. No candidate for a college certificate receives more than
thirty-two semester hours credit toward graduation for work

degree in the elementary field secure two full years’ credit, but
those who transfer to the secondary field lose some credit,
usually from ten to twelve hours.

who have had a four-year high school preparation, are
awarded not more than sixty-four semester hours o f credit
toward the baccalaureate degree.
6. Graduates o f State Normal Schools, who lack four years of
high school preparation, may apply to the Pre-Professional
Credentials Division, Department of Public Instruction, Har
risburg, Pennsylvania, for a high school equivalent certificate,
which when issued by this Division, will be accepted by the
State Teachers College as equivalent to graduation from a
four-year high school.
7. No credit for public or private teaching experience, previously
credited as high school equivalent or as equivalent profession
al credit toward graduation, is granted or counted toward
meeting the requirements for entrance to or graduation from
the four-year curricula.

To assist each student, a progress report is secured by the Dean
of Instruction each mid-semester when the teacher hands to the ad
ministration office a record o f the students not doing satisfactory
44
TH E TEACHERS COLLEGE H ERALD
work. A report is made to each student and, when necessary, to the
parents. At the end o f the semester, a permanent grade is recorded
for each student, and a copy is sent to the parents. Grades are not
reported to the parents o f trainees attending the college under the
Veterans Administration.
Q U A L IT Y P O IN T SY ST E M
1. Just as there is a quality standard for passing each course
so there is a quality standard for completing a curricu
lum. This is made possible by the establishment of a quality
point system which means that students cannot be graduated
by merely having passing grades in each course.
2. A Quality Point System is in operation and demands that
before a student can be graduated, he must have a number
o f quality points equal to the number of semester hours re
quired in the curriculum, exclusive o f the student teaching
requirement. That is, a student must have 128 semester
hours of credit to be graduated, and, under the quality
point system he must have 128 quality points.
3. The Quality Point schedule is as follows:
An “ A ” grade gives 3 quality points for each semester
hour o f credit so marked; a “ B” grade, 2 quality points;
a “ C” grade, 1 quality point; a “ D” grade, no quality points;
a failure grade o f “ F” gives a minus one quality point for
each semester hour. The part dealing with the failure grade
became effective September 1,1949.
4. Students shall not be admitted to student teaching when
they have a deficiency o f more than six quality points.
5. Students whose quality point-semester hour ratio is below
.65 at the end of the Sophomore year shall not be permitted
to register for additional new courses required in their cur
riculum until their quality point ratio has been raised to
a .75 or above. (Effective for all students who entered sub
sequent to September 1, 1948.)
6. Students whose competence is demonstrated by placement
tests and educational records, who wish to select advanced
courses may, with the approval of the institution, substitute
such approved advanced courses in a particular field for those
listed in the curriculum. This regulation applies to all cur
ricula.

The students are to consider each o f their instructors as an
official adviser. The instructors o f this college study the educational
and social background as well as the aptitude and interests o f their
students. On the office door o f each instructor is posted the office
hours during which time students are expected to come for help.
Many other scheduled conferences are held between the instructors
and the students. Problems and difficulties of the students receive
patient and sympathetic attention, thus avoiding many pitfalls which
ordinarily befall students without such guidance.

1. Student teaching is the most essential course provided in
the Teachers College. An assignment for the full time o f one
semester is essential for each student. Learning proper pro
fessional attitudes, legal requirements, pupil records, extra
class activities, community contacts, as well as classroom
techniques are essential parts o f student teaching experi
ence.
2. Student teaching may be assigned only to those students
who have completed a semester o f work at the Shippensburg
State Teachers College prior to their student teaching assign
ment. This applies to students who have attended other col
leges.
3. Former college students who have completed some o f the re
quired student teaching at Shippensburg are eligible for ad
ditional student teaching by extension provided they have
had three years of satisfactory teaching experience.
4. Credit may not be given for teaching experience. Where
teachers of experience have had some o f their student teach
ing, arrangements for completing the full requirement may
be made with the Dean o f Instruction.
5. Teachers who have had three or more years of successful
teaching experience in the public schools may meet their
student teaching requirement by actual student teaching;
or perform an assignment o f work germane to teaching
technique in connection with regular teaching in a public
school in keeping with State Council regulations, or com

COMM ENCEMENT
There is one commencement exercise held each year, usually
the last week in May. At this annual commencement, students who
have completed the required work for degrees from the summer of
the year preceding the time of the commencement exercises, constitute
the graduating class for that year. All students who complete degree
requirements within this one year period are required to participate
in all parts of the exercises including the wearing of the cap and gown
on the day that degrees are conferred.
C E R T IF IC A T IO N OF T E A C H ER S
Pennsylvania law requires an applicant fo r a teachers certifi
cate to be a citizen of the United States.
A student who receives a college degree after completing a
four-year curriculum will be granted a provisional College Certificate,
which is issued by the Department of Public Instruction, provided an
application has been filled out by the graduate for such a certificate.
This provisional college certificate which indicates the subjects the
holder is permitted to teach is valid for three years of teaching and is
SfflPPE N SB U R G COLLEGE ISSUE
47
not to be confused with the diploma issued at graduation. It is im
portant to remember that this certificate is not valid for teaching in
any other state outside o f Pennsylvania.
A College Certificate, valid for the elementary field, may be
extended to include teaching in the secondary field by having com
pleted 12 semester hours of professional work applicable to the sec
ondary school; six of which must be in student teaching. There must
be 18 semester hours of credit in the field for which certification is
desired.
A College Certificate valid for teaching in the secondary school
may be extended to the elementary field by the presentation of thirty
semester hours o f work in professional education applicable to the
elementary grades; at least six of the credits must be in elementary
student teaching.
The Provisional College Certificate may be made permanent
after it has been used for three years o f successful teaching experi
ence in the appropriate field in the Pubic Schools of Pennsylvania
provided a teacher rating of “ middle” or better has been secured and
at least six semester hours o f additional preparation o f collegiate
grade has been completed subsequent to the baccalaureate degree;
one half o f which credit must be professional, and the remainder re
lated to the subjects or subject field in which the holder is certificated
to teach.
Residents of Pennsylvania who graduate from this college are
required to teach at least two years in the Commonwealth.
PLACEM ENT
The College maintains a placement office as part of its public
service. Its purpose is to aid students and graduates in obtaining
desirable positions as teachers. It will render assistance to school
officials in locating well qualified teachers who fit the requirements
of vacancies in the schools o f the Commonwealth.
Seniors are requested to enroll with the placement office during
the time they are doing their student teaching. While the place
ment office does not guarantee a position, it offers without cost, op
portunities which would not otherwise be available. Alumni and
school officials are urged to use this school service and to cooperate
in making the service more reliable and worthwhile for both the stu
dent and the schools to be served.

THE CURRICULUMS
The Curriculums offered at this college include elementary
education providing emphasis in early childhood education, in
intermediate education or in rural education; secondary education
for teaching the various academic subjects o f the junior and senior
high school fields; education for teaching in the field o f business
education; and education for Public School Nurses and Dental
Hygienists. All Curriculums are four years in length and lead to the
degree o f Bachelor o f Science in Education and to a Provisional
College Certificate to teach in the public schools o f the Common
wealth o f Pennsylvania.
N E W E M P H A S IS
The new curriculums hold a broad basis of general education—
the common learnings necessary for living in the social and the
physical environment— the development o f the arts and skills of
communication common to cultured people, the understanding and
acceptance o f the higher moral, aesthetic and spiritual values, and
the essential knowledge and habits necessary to maintain mental
and physical well being.
The professional courses and experiences recognized as basic
or required by law or regulation for all teachers have been included
and, in addition to them, the specific training designed for com
petency at various age levels and in various fields o f teaching has
been provided.
The outlines o f courses in the elementary, secondary and the
special fields are used as a basis and as continuing study of more
effective materials and methods o f fulfilling the purpose for which
the teachers colleges o f Pennsylvania were established— “ the educa
tion and preparation o f teachers” for the public schools o f the
Commonwealth.

Curriculum and areas o f specialization should be selected with
care and with the advice o f college authorities. Many students will
undertake graduate study after completing the undergraduate prep
aration for teaching. Since requirements for admission to graduate
schools vary widely, not only with different colleges, but with the
fields o f study within a given college, undergraduates are advised to
explore during the junior and senior years the opportunities and
requirements for graduate study in their chosen fields to enable them
to meet the special requirements wherever possible.

ground in addition to the various professional courses necessary for
an elementary teacher. Every course is given with a distinctive
purpose.
Professional Opportunities
For the past twenty years the demand for teachers completing
the elementary curriculum has surpassed the supply. Recently the
shortage o f elementary teachers has been most critical and the
graduate in this field has had the privilege o f choosing one o f many
offers. The demand has been so great that a number o f students
have accelerated their program through attending the summer ses
sions, thus graduating in less than the regular four year period.
Elementary teachers in Pennsylvania receive the same beginning
salary as teachers in high schools. Teachers in rural districts where
the cost of living is usually lower, receive the same initial salary as
teachers in larger towns and cities. Teaching experience in the
elementary field is very advantageous for young men and women
who desire to become administrators, supervisors, or specialists.
Graduates o f the elementary curriculum may have their College
certificate extended to include the secondary fields by attending col
lege several summer sessions. Graduates in the secondary curriculum
may have their college certificate extended to include the elementary
field by completing thirty additional hours o f appropriate professional
courses. In past years a number of students who completed the
secondary curriculum have taken this added work in the elementary
field and have made rapid progress in the profession.

The curriculum for the preparation o f secondary teachers is
flexible because of the selection of major and minor fields of con
centration. These fields of concentration become the fields in which
the student is certificated to teach. During the past number of years
the demand for teachers of science and mathematics has more often
exhausted the supply than in some other fields especially English and
social studies.
There is a demand for teachers who possess an advanced degree
in subject fields. This curriculum is so devised that a student can com
plete a sufficient number of courses in an academic field to give the
necessary foundation for such advanced degrees.

THE TEACH ERS COLLEGE H ERALD
BU SIN E SS E D U C A T IO N C U R R IC U L U M
The State Teachers College, Shippenshurg, Pennsylvania, has
been specifically designated by the State Department o f Public
Instruction and the State Council of Education to prepare teachers
o f business subjects for high schools and junior high schools of
the Commonwealth. The fulfillment o f the four-year requirement
leads to the degree of Bachelor o f Science in Education, thereby
certificating the graduates in the field o f business education as
teachers or as supervisors.
Young men and women who are graduated from the high school
academic, business, or general course are afforded a splendid
opportunity to obtain preparation in teaching techniques and in
business skills.
Purpose
The purpose of the curriculum in Business Education is to
provide thorough and systematic preparation in the fundamentals
of business education, thus giving an intelligent understanding of
both the generalized and specialized spheres of education encom
passed in the activities of business education.
Teaching Sequence
The Department of Business Education offers four teaching
sequences: Combined, Secretarial, Retail Selling, and Accounting.
The General Business sequence leads to certification in the three
major fields of business— shorthand, typewriting, and accounting.
The Secretarial, Retail Selling, and Accounting sequences permit
more freedom in the selection o f electives, thus providing an oppor
tunity for certification in other fields, or permitting certification in
two Business Education sequences. In addition to the sequence
elected, certification to teach business law, business arithmetic,
economics, clerical practice and office machines, business English,
and junior business training is secured.
Equipment
Modem office machines are a part o f the equipment of the
Department. Calculating and adding machines, posting machines,
duplicating equipment— mimeograph, mimeoscopes, hectograph—
dictating and transcribing units, and other up-to-date office appliances
enable the student to ohtain both a theoretical knowledge and prac
tical training in the use o f the mechanical time-savers o f business.

Opportunities
There is a large and growing demand for qualified degree
holding teachers of business education in the high schools o f the
Commonwealth. The demand for stenographic and typewriting
teachers far surpasses the supply. Orientation and exploratory
courses, and increased guidance in junior high schools have caused
a demand for teachers o f elementary business training and kindred
subjects. The realization that retail selling needs trained personnel
has caused an impetus in the demand for teachers prepared in this
phase of business education. The main outcome of the curriculum
is qualified teachers o f business subjects, but various concomitant
learnings emerge during this period of preparation.
Practical Experience
Practical experience i n ' various phases of business is a vital
and essential part of the preparation o f prospective business educa
tion 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.
