STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE AT SHIPPENSBURG

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
Teacher Education which has a membership of 258 fully ac­
credited teacher education institutions including the State Teach­
ers College at Shippensburg. The College is also a member of
the National Association of Business Teacher-Training Insti­
tutions.
Location

The College is located on the north western edge of Ship­
pensburg, which is a town of approximately seven thousand
people, situated in the beautiful Cumberland Valley on the
P ennsy lv an ia 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 Ship­
pensburg toward Harrisburg, and Chambersburg, the county
seat of Franklin County, eleven miles in the opposite direction.
The College is less than ten miles south of the Blue Mountain
nominal on the well-known Pennsylvania Turnpike. Gettys­
burg, 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 mountains 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 con­
tinued to serve as a State Normal School, graduating students
prepared and legally qualified to teach in the public schools of
the Commonwealth. After 1922, high school graduation was
required for admission to the institution. In 1926 the State

14

THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD

Council of Education authorized four-year curriculums based
upon high school graduation. 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 of 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, 1880-1907; S. A. Martin, 1907-1913; Ezra Leh­
man, 1913-31; Albert L. Rowland, 1932-45; Levi Gilbert, 194548; Harry L. Kriner, 1948—
Campus

The campus consists of approximately 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, sloping gently to the southeast and around
a quadrangle in the center of 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 of the Business Manager, the Cafeteria, the Bookstore,
Post Office, rooms for commuting students, several supply
rooms, Dining Hall and Kitchen. The second floor contains
the offices of the President, Dean of Instruction, Director of
Student Teaching and Placement, and Registrar, ten class­
rooms, a number of faculty offices and the "Old Main” audi­
torium. 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 of "Old Main,” It is joined with
"Old Main” by a bridge on the second floor level. In 1921 the
building was wired for electricity, and a small addition was
built in 1929. The renovations made in 1950 provide a lobby
for each of the four floors and sixteen additional rooms for
students on the first floor, and two indoor fire proof stairways
which replace the old outside fire escapes.

ROWLAND HALL, built in 1939 is located on the east
campus, and is used as an elementary training school for grades
one to six, inclusive. The south wing provides rooms for a
kindergarten and a nursery school. .A beautiful auditorium is
attached to the building for the use of the Training School.
The office of the Principal, a medical and dental office, a
library, and art room and service rooms are located in this
building.
ALUMNI GYMNASIUM was built in 1937 and is located
north of Horton Hall with its main entrance facing the quad­
rangle from the west and openings to Heiges Athletic Field
on the ground floor. It has a large gymnasium floor, the neces­
sary separate locker room for men and women, a swimming
pool, a wrestling and boxing room, and the recreation room
which also is used as a classroom for the physical education
classes.
SHEARER HALL is the science building which was erect­
ed in 1937 on the east campus facing the library. Located on
the ground floor are an advance biology laboratory, a classroom,
and a greenhouse. A psychological laboratory, an elementary
biology laboratory, a physical science laboratory, and a class
room are located on the main floor while on the second floor
are located a physics laboratory, an elementary chemistry labora­
tory, an advance chemistry laboratory with a balance room, and
a classroom. Each laboratory has a supply room and an in­
structor’s room.
The EZRA LEHMAN MEMORIAL LIBRA RY was built in
1931 and is located on the northeast campus. This beautiful
building is extremely well-planned for excellent library service.
A very modern and complete visual education laboratory is lo­
cated on the ground floor.
THE MEMORIAL AUDITORIUM was completed in 1951.
This is a very modern building with a large stage; amphitheatre
room for band, orchestra and glee club practice; music rooms;
dramatic and speech rooms; and dramatic workshop. This build­
ing is located at the east end of the campus facing the quadrangle.
STEW ART HALL, located east of "Old Main,” was built
in 1893 and was used for many years as a gymnasium. It was
renovated in 1949 for a student activity center with game rooms,
dance floor, kitchen and conference room.

TH E TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD

GILBERT HALL was built in 1912 as an elementary train­
ing school and is located south west of Horton Hall. In 1946
it was reconditioned for the Business Education Department.
THE HEATING PLANT was built in 1952 replacing the
old one built in 1898. This new beautiful modern plant uses
hard coal and is equipped with smoke and automatic controls.
The IN FIRM ARY was built in 1906 and contains separate
wards for men and women as well as two private rooms which
are used for isolation cases and cases of serious illness. It is
located north of "Old Main.”
The U T IL IT Y BUILDING was built in 1937 being located
on the northern edge of the campus west of the tennis courts.
This building contains the laundry, paint shop, carpenter shop,
plumbing shop, machine shop, storage room and garages. An
auxilitry heat plant is attached which furnishes hot water and
steam for the summer needs, thus permitting the main heat
plant to be closed.
The PRESIDENT’S RESIDENCE is a three story brick
house located on the south west corner of the campus.
Library

The library is modern and exceptionally well equipped. It
contains a collection of over 35,000 books arranged on con­
venient stacks. .The magazine racks carry over 200 current publi­
cations. There is ample space and efficient up-to-date facilities
for study, research, and recreation. A collection of over 11,000
pictures, a clipping file, a large pamphlet collection and an in­
teresting group of textbooks and courses of study all serve to
meet the needs of the college students. Students can readily
find recreational reading in the field of biography, drama,
fiction and current events. Trained librarians are on duty at
all times to assist students in finding material and to make
the library the real heart of the collegiate work.
Laboratory Schools

The college uses its own campus Laboratory School as well
as the public schools at Shippensburg, Chamberburg, Carlisle,
Waynesboro, Camp Hill, Steelton and Harrisburg for student
teaching. These public school organizations give the college
students an opportunity to secure practical experience in an
elementary school, a junior high school, or a senior high school.
W hile students are doing their practicum for one full semester,

SHIPPENSBURG COLLEGE ISSUE

17

they have available the various facilities of the college, and
the course in Curriculum Materials is integrated with student
teaching. A systematic plan has been developed for the Fresh­
man, Sophomores, and Juniors to visit the public schools. After
each visit a brief report is prepared by the student. These pre­
pare the student for student teaching, and furnish the training
teachers valuable guidance material. This practice is extremely
important in implementing the work given in college classes.
Social Program

Shippensburg is a co-educational college. The enrollment of
mpn 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.
Conferences and trips to places of historic, scientific, and edu­
cational 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 develop­
ment 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 in­
firmary 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 stu­
dents 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 your family if married, 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 -

THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD

18

rays, hospital bills, nurses’, physicians’ and surgeons’ fees,
laboratory costs, medicines, and, in fact any medical ex­
pense incurred as a result of 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 of the
more costly illnesses and injuries requiring hospital care, surgi­
cal treatment, 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 becom­
ing a prospective teacher is so high that it excludes all persons
whose habits and conduct are not worthy of the imitation of
children who may be placed under their instruction. Since
teachers must first be able to discipline themselves, it is the aim
of the college to consistently cultivate right habits of self-disci­
pline on the part of its students.
Religious Life

Shippensburg provides opportunities for wholesome and re­
ligious church life. At the beginning of each semester, the
names of all students are forwarded to the clergymen of the
churches designated by the students, and they are urged to con­
tinue their church duties and obligations. Many of 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 of the Brethren,
Church of God, Episcopal, Evangelical United Brethren, Luth­
eran, Methodist, Nazarene, Presbyterian, Reformed, and United
Brethren.
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 Penn­
sylvania. The college believes that our curriculums also afford
a general and liberal preparation for complete living, and that

SHIPPENSBURG COLLEGE ISSUE

19

such professional training is an effective preparation for parent­
hood and for constructive 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 intelli­
gence and devotion of its teachers depend in large measure the
hope and destiny of the nation.
W e believe that our students can reach a high level of selfrealization and professional efficiency through self-disipline,
intellectual 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 successfully, demonstrate personal integrity, and
make his contribution to society. W e also strive to use the demo­
cratic process in the administration of the college and in the
relations among administrators, faculty, and students, as its use
is considered essential to the student’s daily thinking and living.
T o that end, the administration and the faculty of this
college are working together to demonstrate these tenets through
the following objectives:
1. To maintain a cooperative faculty continuously grow­
ing 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 in view of
adaptation to specific current needs.
4. To foster sound learning, broad cultural background and
ethical professional knowledge, attitudes, and techniques.
5. To provide a program of curricular experiences through
which the student will develop academic, social and per­
sonal growth.
6. To maintain an effective cooperative organization for the
fluid articulation between college classes and practices
within the training schools, so that students may clearly
recognize the application of professional knowledge.
7. To give the students practical experience in the demo­
cratic processes of group planning in executing activities
of common interest.

20

THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD

8. T o encourage students to recognize the value of worthy
family relationships and of the services to be rendered
by teachers in a community.
9. To provide opportunities for the student to acquire both
the knowledge and the appreciation of the W ORK OF
THE TEACHER.
The college aims to attain its objectives through the pro­
cesses outlined in a set of policies adopted by the faculty. Com­
mittees have the responsibility of making these policies mean­
ingful or revise them in keeping with the needs of the college.
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 of their teach­
ing certificate or complete work for a degree.
2. Students who find it advantageous to continue their edu­
cation throughout the year, thus graduating at an earlier
date.
3. Students who desire to make up certain deficiencies.
During these sessions a wide variety of courses are offered
in business, elementary, secondary, and nursing education. A
special descriptive bulletin will be sent upon request.
College Living Accommodations

Students at Shippensburg State Teachers College live in
dormitories, in their own homes, or in approved residences. The
dormitory rooms have new single beds furnished with new mat­
tresses, 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 consideration for others. Other electric ap­
pliances are not permitted in the rooms.
Laundry Facilities

Limited laundry service is provided to boarding students
for personal laundry only. Laundry numbers will be assigned
at the college laundry and are provided at a very nominal charge.
Laundry bags may be purchased at the Retail Store. Special
facilities are provided in pressing rooms for students who wish
to do extra washing and pressing.

Education. 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.
BPW Student Loan Fund

The Business and Professional Women’s Club of Shippensburg has established a Scholarship Loan Fund which provides
money to help pay the college fees for a worthy woman student
who is a graduate 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 record in scholarship, character
and citizenship.
THE ALUMNI LOAN FUND

This fund is the result of money contributed by various
groups and individuals for the purpose of helping students who
need financial aid. The fund is administered and controlled by
a board composed of three alumni members, the College Presi­
dent, and the College Business Manager.
A member of the Junior or Senior Class who is in need of
assistance may secure an application blank from the President of
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 of the
fund.
This fund now has a total of approximately $8,000 a large
percentage of which has been in use. Some of the money has
been given in the form of so-called Alumni Scholarship Loans
in memory of, or in honor of, certain individuals and some
has been left by classes either at graduation time or at a later
class reunion. The following is a list of the recorded and known
donors along with the names thus honored:

SCHOLASTIC REGULATIONS
REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION

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 deter­
mined by the Credentials Evaluation Division of the Pennsyl­
vania Department of Public Instruction. College authorities will
make an appraisal of the student’s detailed secondary school
record in order to determine his capacity to do satisfactory college
work. In some cases the college should seek further evidence
from the results of a reliable aptitude test much as the Ameri­
can Council on Education Psychological Examinations. (On
this test, for example, many students falling below the 25th per­
centile appear to have difficulty in achieving academic success
in college.)
2. Satisfactory character and personality traits as well as
proper 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
examination 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 of the college, disa­
bilities which would impair his service as a teacher.
4. Recommendations of two or more college staff members
following 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 of ability to succeed
in the student’s chosen field.
ADMISSION TO SHIPPENSBURG

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 of application blanks, two
of which shall be filled out in detail by the applicant, one to be

SHIPPENSBURG COLLEGE ISSUE

41

completed by the principal of the high school from which the
applicant has graduated, and one for the family physician to
complete.
2. Have the completed application forms sent to the Dean
of Instruction as early as possible. The ten dollar (10.00) ad­
vance reservation fee should accompany the application blank.
This is absolutely necessary if a dormitory room reservation is
desired.
3. Arrange with the Dean of Instruction for an appoint­
ment at the college with the interview committee some time
between May 1 and September 1. These should be completed at
an early date.
4. IMPORTANT. If the high school grades has placed the
applicant in the lower half of the graduating class it is neces­
sary for the applicant to appear at the college on one of the fol­
lowing dates for placement tests:
June 12.

July 17.

August 21.

Tests begin at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Saving Time and will
be given in the "Old Main” Auditorium.
TESTING PROGRAM

The following testing program has been adopted by the Board
of State Teachers College Presidents:
1. To assist in the counselling of students the college shall
require each freshman to take a recognized aptitude test such
as the American Council on Education Psychological Examina­
tion and a test on Communications such as the Cooperative
English Test published 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 of each individual student by selected
faculty members near the close of the sophomore year is also
recommended.
3. In order to measure the academic success of the student
as well as the effectiveness of the instructional program of the
college, the college may administer, at the request and expense
of the student, a recognized terminal test.

THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD

ADVANCED STANDINGS

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 stu­
dent may obtain a certificate or degree without a mini­
mum residence of one year in this college. A student
transferring from another college will be required to
present a statement of honorable dismissal from that col­
lege 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
September 1, 1927.
4. Persons who have completed the work of 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 be­
come 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 of
credit toward the baccalaureate degree.
6. Graduates of State Normal Schools, who lack four years
of high school preparation, may apply to the Pre-Pro­
fessional Credentials Division, Department of Public In­
struction, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, for a high school
equivalent certificate, which when issued by this Di­
vision, 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, pre­
viously credited as high school equivalent or as equiva­
lent professional credit toward graduation, is granted or
counted toward meeting the requirements for entrance
to or graduation from the four-year curricula.

SHIPPENSBURG COLLEGE ISSUE

43

SCHOLASTIC PROGRESS

To assist each student, a progress report is secured by the
Dean of Instruction each mid-semester when the teacher hands
to the administration office a record of the students not doing
satisfactory work. A report is made to each student and, when
necessary, to the parents. At the end of 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 of trainees at­
tending the college under the Veterans Administration.
QUALITY POINT SYSTEM

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 num­
ber of quality points equal to the number of semester
hours required in the curriculum, exclusive of the stu­
dent 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 of credit so marked; a “B ” grade, 2 quality points;
a "C” grade, 1 quality point; a "D ” grade, no quality
points; a failure grade of "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 of more than six quality points.
5. Students whose quality point-semester hour ratio is be­
low .65 at the end of the Sophomore year shall not be
permitted to register for additional new courses required
in their curriculum until their quality point ratio has
been raised to a .75 or above. (Effective for all students
who entered subsequent to September 1, 1948.
6. Students whose competence is demonstrated by place­
ment tests and educational records, who wish to select ad­
vanced 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 curricula.

44

THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD

FACULTY ADVISERS

The students are to consider each of their instructors as an
official adviser. The instructors of this college study the educa­
tional and social background as well as the aptitude and interests
of their students. On the office door of 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 avoid­
ing many pitfalls which ordinarily befall students without such
guidance.
STUDENT TEACHING

1. Student teaching is the most essential course provided in
the Teachers College. An assignment for the full time of
one semester is essential for each student. Learning proper
professional attitudes, legal requirements, pupil records,
extra class activities, community contacts, as well as class­
room techniques are essential parts of student teaching
experience.
2. Student teaching may be assigned only to those students
who have completed a semester of work at the Shippensburg State Teachers College prior to their student teach­
ing assignment. This applies to students who have at­
tended other colleges.
3. Former college students who have completed some of the
required student teaching at Shippensburg are eligible
for additional student teaching by extension provided
they have had three years of satisfactory teaching ex­
perience.
4. Credit may not be given for teaching experience. Where
teachers of experience have had some of their student
teaching, arrangements for completing the full require­
ment may be made with the Dean of 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 of 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 of
twelve credits.

REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION

1. All students are required to take part, without credit,
in one physical education activity each semester, in which
no physical education work or student teaching is re­
quired, and to be active in one other extra-class activity
one semester each year.
2. A minimum of 128 semester hours, including all re­
quired courses, is required for graduation.
3- A minimum of 128 quality points is required.
4. The teaching ability of a student shall be satisfactory to
the Director of Student Teaching regardless of other
credits.
5. Attendance at the Baccalaureat and Commencement exer­
cises is necessary unless very unusual circumstances war­
rant graduation in absentia. This permission may be
granted by the President of the College.
6. All bills and accounts shall be paid.
7. The last course work toward graduation shall be taken
on the campus at Shippensburg.
COMMENCEMENT

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 to the time of the commencemnt
exercises, constitute the graduating class for that year. All stu­
dents who complete degree requirements within this one year
period are required to participate in all parts of the exercises in­
cluding the wearing of the cap and gown on the day that de­
grees are conferred.
CERTIFICATION OF TEACHERS

Pennsylvania law requires an applicant for 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 Cer­
tificate, 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 in­
dicates the subjects the hold is permitted to teach is valid for

46

THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD

three years of teaching and is not to be confused with the
diploma issued at graduation. It is important to remember that
this certificate is not valid for teaching in any other state out­
side of Pennsylvania.
A College Certificate valid for the elementary field may be
extended to include teaching in the secondary field by having
complied 12 semester hours of professional work applicable to
the secondary 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 presenta­
tion of thirty smester hours of work in professional education ap­
plicable 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 of succssful teaching ex­
perience in the appropriate field in the Public Schools of Penn­
sylvania provided a teacher rating of "middle” or better has
been secured and at least six semester hours of additional prepara­
tion of collegiate grade has been completed subsequent to the
baccalaureate degree; one half of which credit must be profes­
sional, and the remainder related 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.
PLACEMENT

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 of the Commonwealth.
Seniors are requested to enroll with the placement office
during the time they are doing their student teaching. While
the placement office does not guarantee a position, it offers
without cost, opportunities which would not otherwise be availa­
ble. 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 student 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 educa­
tion for teaching the various academic subjects of the junior and
senior high school fields; education for teaching in the field of
business education; and education for Public School Nurses and
Dental Hygienists. All Curriculums 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.
NEW EMPHASIS

The new curriculums hold a broad basis of general educa­
tion—the common learnings necessary for living in the social
and the physical environment—the development of the arts
and skills of communication common to cultured people, the
understanding and acceptance of the higher moral, aesthetic and
spiritual values, and the essential knowledge and habits neces­
sary to maintain mental and physical well being.
Those professional courses and experiences recognized as
basic or required law or regulation for all teachers have been
included and, in addition to them, the specific training designed
for competency at various age levels and in various fields of
teaching has been provided.
The committee proposes the outlines of courses in the ele­
mentary, secondary and the special fields as a basis for use and
continuing study of more effective materials and methods of
fulfilling the purpose for which the teachers colleges of Penn­
sylvania were established—"the education and preparation of
teachers^ for the public schools of the Commonwealth.
SELECTION OF CURRICULUM

Curriculum and areas of specialization should be selected
with care and with the advice of college authorities. Many stu­
dents will undertake graduate study after completing the under­
graduate preparation for teaching. Since requirements for ad­
mission to graduate schools vary widely, not only with different
colleges, but with the fields of study within a give college, un­
dergraduates 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 require­
ments wherever possible.

48

THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD

ELEMENTARY CURRICULUM

The curriculum for the preparation of elementary teachers
is one of the best in the country. It provides a broad academic
background 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 complet­
ing the elementary curriculum has surpassed the supply. Re­
cently the shortage of elementary teachers has been most critical
and the graduate in this field has had the privilege of choosing
one of many offers. The demand has been so great that a num­
ber of students have accelerated their program through attend­
ing the summer sessions, thus graduating in less than the regular
four year period.
Elementary teachers in Pennsylvania receive the same be­
ginning salary as teachers in high schools. Teachers in rural dis­
tricts 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 of the elementary curriculum may have their
College certificate extended to include the secondary fields by
attending college several summer sessions. Graduates in the
secondary curriculum may have their college certificate ex­
tended to include the elementary field by completing thirty
additional hours of appropriate professional courses. In past
years a number of students who completed the secondary cur­
riculum have taken this added work in the elementary field and
have made rapid progress in the profession.

Students may also elect courses in academic fields and special curriculums offered at the college.

SECONDARY CURRICULUM
The curriculum for the preparation of secondary teachers is flexible
because of the selection of major and minor fields of concentration. These
fields of concentration become the fields in which the student is certifi­
cated 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 advanced degree in sub­
ject fields. This curriculum is so devised that a student can complete a
sufficient number of courses in an academic field to give the necessary
foundation for such advanced degrees.

THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD

BUSINESS EDUCATION CURRICULUM

The State Teachers College, Shippensburg, Pennsylvania,
has been specifically designated by the State Department of
Public Instruction and the State Council of Education to pre­
pare teachers of business subjects for high schools and junior
high schools of the Commonwealth. The fulfillment of the fouryear requirement leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science in
Education, thereby certificating the graduates in the field of
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 splen­
did 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 funda­
mentals of business education, thus giving an intelligent under­
standing of both the generalized and specialized spheres of
education encompassed in the activities of business education.
Teaching Sequence

The Department of Business Education offers four teaching
sequences: General Business, Secretarial, Retail Selling, and Ac­
counting. 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 of electives, thus
providing an opportunity for certification in other fields, or
permitting certification in two Business Education sequences.
In addition to the sequence elected, certification to teach busi­
ness law, business arithmetic, economics, clerical practice, busi­
ness English and junior business training is secured.
Equipment

Modern office machines are a part of the equipment of the
Department. Calculating and adding machines, posting machines,
duplicating equipment — mimeograph, mimeoscopes, hecto­
graph—dictating and transcribing units, and other up-to-date
office appliances enable the student to obtain both a theoretical
knowledge and the practical training in the use of the mechani­
cal time-savers of business.

Opportunities

There is a large and growing demand for qualified degree
holding teachers of business education in the high schools of die
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 of 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 of business sub­
jects, but various concomitant learnings emerge during this
period of preparation.
Practical Experience

Practical experience in various phases of 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.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS AND GENERAL INFORMATION
1. On completing the basic first year of the Business Education curricu­
lum, students are expected to choose one of the following: General
Commercial Sequence, Accounting Sequence, Secretarial Sequence or
Retail Selling Sequence as shown on the following pages.
2. Sequence of courses is subject to change for administrative reasons.
3. The satisfactory completion of the curriculum outlined with not few­
er than 128 semester hours is required for graduation.
4. Any courses offered at the college may be chosen as electives subject
to the approval of the President.
5. To be graduated with a Retail Selling Sequence, two semesters of
Accounting credit are required.
