1.
Teaching affords one an opportunity to be of great service
to society. It is a public service that will challenge the best
one has to offer his fellows. The future of democracy de
pends upon our nation's schools. The schools need young
men and women of high ideals, thoroughly prepared to
lead the boys and girls of today to greater accomplishment
in the future.
2.
The profession of teaching opens a way to some of the
finest associations. On the whole, the teachers of our nation
are people of culture and enjoy the respect of the commun
ity. To belong to this profession is a privilege.
3.
Our state, among a number of others, offers security of
position to well-qualified teachers.
4.
The teacher's continuous contact with young people keeps
him youthful in outlook and dynamic in spirit.
5.
Teaching affords opportunity for continued growth through
reading, study, travel, and meeting people of other profes
sions.
6.
Teaching offers a variety of types of service, such as class
room work in elementary school, junior high school, senior
high school, college and graduate teaching; special fields
such as health and physicial education, music, art; super
vision and administration of schools; school psychologist;
and many others. Teaching in the elementary and high
schools is often found invaluable experience in preparing
for college teaching.
7.
Improved education of teachers is rapidly giving the teach
ing profession a higher standing in the community and
among other professions. Society wants many of its most
competent young people to respond to the call for educa
tional service.

SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE
WHY ATTEND A TEACHERS COLLEGE
1.
2.
3.
A teachers college is a professional school devoted exclu
sively to the preparation for educational service. All the
courses, particularly those of the last two years, and all the
campus activities in general are planned and organized with
a view toward teaching. From the very first day that the
student registers, his thought is the teaching profession.

en and grades one to three), intermediate (grades from
four to six), and rural.
b. Secondary: English, social studies, geography, biolog
ical science, physical science, the general science field,
and mathematics.
c. Speech: special certification in speech correction and in
the field of dramatics.
d. Health and physical education: a four-year preparatory
curriculum for the teaching and direction of all physical
education activities, in both elementary and secondary
schools, recreational activities, and the teaching of health.
The teachers college provides opportunity for students to
serve expert teaching in the grades or subjects for which
tney may be preparing.
2.
Opportunity to survey the general field of education before
the student is called upon to choose any special field of
concentration. The first two years constitute a general
background for the more intense professional work in the
last two years. The student may make a tentative choice
of field of preparation toward the close of the freshman
year and may choose his electives accordingly. Students
who decide at the close of either the first or second year
that they prefer some other field of activity rather than the
teaching profession, can transfer to other colleges without
serious loss of credit.
3.

The members of the faculty are men and women who have
demonstrated superior teaching ability. Many, and fre
quently all, have a number of years of experience on the
elementary or secondary level or both. They have first
hand knowledge of the work for which they help young
people prepare. This is regarded as essential by author
ities, for to teach one must know how to deal with the
problems of boys and girls as well as know the subject
matter which one is to teach.

Friendly, helpful counselling for every student, as ex

problems growing out of a student's studies receive the
personal attention of members of the faculty. The students
health is constantly being watched by the personnel of the
health department.
5.
Housing facilities which provide a comfortable and pleasing
environment. North Hall, the new women's dormitory, has
been recently completed and occupied. It provides all the
accommodations for student comfort; namely, spacious
rooms, lounges, infirmary, inside court with fountain. South
Hall is occupied by men and provides comfortable living
quarters. Both dormitories face the beautiful green of a
large campus and constitute the center of a semi-circle of
college buildings.
6.
Adequate classroom, laboratory, and library facilities all
o w ich have been greatly augmented by our new science
all and library. The new junior-senior high school to
gether with the elementary school provide wide opportunity
for first-hand study of public school education.

All-around development of the student through social and
recreational activities of various kinds.

GENERAL INFORMATION
LOCATION OF THE COLLEGE
On the western edge of the Allegheny Plateau, in Butler
County, Pennsylvania, at a height of about thirteen hundred
feet, is the borough of Slippery Rock. On the William Flinn
super-highway, Route No. 8, the town is about fifty miles north
of Pittsburgh, seventeen miles from Butler, and twenty-eight
miles from Franklin. Route No. 108 connects it with New
Castle, seventeen miles west. Other improved highways con
nect it with Grove City, seven miles, and Mercer, fourteen
miles. Frequent bus service to and from all of these cities
makes Slippery Rock most accessible,
HISTORY
In 1887 the forward-looking folk of Slippery Rock and the
surrounding district began to plan for the establishment of an
academy, in order that their young people might have the
opportunity for education near their home. It was discovered
that the Eleventh District of the teacher training school system
of the Commonwealth was entitled to a normal school. Im
mediately the leaders widened their plans, sold stock to the
amount of $20,000, secured land, and in 1888 erected three
frame buildings, two dormitories and a recitation building and
chapel.
Their application for approval of the buildings and the
establishment of a State Normal School was acted upon favor
ably by the State Department of Public Instruction on the first
day of February, 1889. On the 26th of the following month
the first term of the new training school for teachers opened
with an enrollment of 168 students. The first class of eleven
members was graduated in 1890.
On June 4, 1926, the State Council of Education authorized
the institution to grant the degree of Bachelor of Science in
Health Education, in Elementary Education, and in Secondary
Education. On August 13, 1927, the State Council changed
the name of the State Normal School to the State Teachers
College at Slippery Rock.
The college is primarily to train teachers for the public
schools of the Commonwealth. Every student entering it
pledges himself, in view of the low cost of instruction, to teach
HE HUT

SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE
in these schools for a period of two years. In the institution it
is always kept in mind that a good teacher must know more
than he is called upon to teach. Consequently many of the
courses are liberal and cultural, with the result that the educa
tion received by the graduates is general as well as professional.
CAMPUS AND BUILDINGS
,
jE CAMPUS . The site of the college comprises about a
hundred and fifteen acres of beautifully rolling land immediately
east of Route No. 8, in the borough of Slippery Rock. Besides
the campus proper of about twenty-five acres, there are exten
sive athletic fields and wide stretches of woodland.

BUILDINGS . On the campus proper are the twelve principal
buildings of the college, together with a half-dozen less impor
tant buildings. The campus is attractively landscaped and all
of the buildings are bound to the green of the spreading lawns
by carefully kept shrubbery, while the broad concrete walks
joining the various biuldings are in many places bordered with
evergreens and flowering shrubs. Splendid trees add to the
attractiveness. The aim is to have on the campus samples of
every kind of tree and shrub native to Pennsylvania, as well
as many others which may be grown in this latitude.
THE MAIN BUILDING houses many of the classrooms, the
student bookstore, the administration offices, and the offices of
many of the faculty.
THE CHAPEL is a splendid stone building seating about a
thousand. It is used for student assemblies, the Sunday vesper
service, dramatic performances, lectures and concerts and for
talking pictures. It is equipped with a modern sound picture
machine. The college aims to bring before the students both
at vesper service and at the week-day assemblies, speakers who
will instruct and inspire. A pipe organ adds constantly to the
effectiveness of services held in the Chapel.
The new SCIENCE HALL provides unusual facilities for the
teaching of science. These include special laboratories for
biology, chemistry, physics, physiology, and bacteriology, all
equipped to provide opportunities for a complete science pro
gram. A feature of the building is the museum where the
science collections are housed, and where teaching materials
are displayed. A greenhouse adjacent to the biology depart
ment augments the work in botany and nature study.
THE LABORATORY SCHOOLS compose a complete unit from
kindergarten through senior high school. The elementary
building was completed in 1930; the new secondary unit this
year. With the new addition the laboratory schools are now
provided with their own gymnasium, auditorium and rooms for
special subjects. These schools provide ample facilities for
demonstration and such experimental work as is found neces
sary on the campus. The entire building is well-equipped to
function in a modern school program from the kindergarten
through the twelfth grade.
LIBRARY .

The new Maltby Library was occupied in Feb

and reference work, as well as opportunities for recreational
reading. Special rooms are available for debate and group
conferences. The library contains about 20,000 well-selected
volumes, which, with a large pamphlet file, and a mounted
picture collection, furnish an abundance of reference material.
Here are also found the current and bound numbers of more
than 165 general and special subject periodicals and the latest
issues of nine local and national newspapers.

should bring their own blankets, towels, dresser covers, and
such personal effects as they may desire. Laundry work,
including ironing, not to exceed twelve plain pieces per week,
will be done by the college. All pieces sent to the laundry must
be plainly marked with the owner's name. Name tapes sewed
on articles of clothing constitute the best identification. An
excellent laundry and pressing room is maintained in each
dormitory for the convenience of the students.
DAY STUDENTS . Rooms for study and rest have been
provided for day and commuting students. The day student
rooms are in the basement of the Main Building and include
individual lockers, rest rooms, and tables for lunch.
GYMNASIUMS . On the south side of the campus are the
the two gymnasiums demanded by the physical education work
of the entire student body and by the special training given to
students preparing to teach health education. These two build
ings are joined by a third smaller building in which is a beautiful
modern swimming pool measuring twenty by sixty feet, well
designed both for instructional and recreational purposes. Ade
quate provisions have been made for maintaining sanitation and
for keeping the water in healthful condition.
The West Gymnasium is the home of the music depart
ment of the college with studios and practice rooms for music
students. This building contains several classrooms as well as
offices for some of the physical education staff, a running track,
handball court, a small gymnasium, and a large floor measuring
fifty by ninety feet. Here are found also rooms for visiting
teams, and the locker rooms and shower rooms for men. It is
completely equipped with all types of heavy apparatus.
The East Gymnasium has a floor space of sixty-eight
by eighty-two feet. A dividing net makes it possible to play
two games of basketball or volley ball at the same time. In
this building are additional offices, locker rooms and showers
for women, two rooms for corrective gymnastics, a dancing
room, and rest rooms.
THE HUT is a distinct asset to Slippery Rock. Designed as
a recreational center for the college, its main room paneled in
chestnut, is most attractively furnished with appealing rugs,
artistic draperies, comfortable davenports and chairs, and,
22
SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE
SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE
always a center of cheer, a great fire place in which usually
glows a comforting fire. Smaller rooms furnish a place for
committee meetings, a place for games, and a living suite for the
men in charge. In the room below are three bowling alleys,
ping-pong tables, and tables for pool and billiards. Through
out the building are hardwood floors. The facilities of the hut
are set aside for women students at definite times. The recrea
tional facilities are provided through the Student Government
Association.

THE CURRICULA
UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES OF TEACHER EDUCATION

The preparation of teachers for our public schools is a

centers about and is dominated by this one objective.

knowledges and skills demanded in the profession and their
capacity for continued growth demand appropriate facili
ties: a substantial program of studies; a library adequate for
wide and intensive reading; an instructional staff of com
petent teachers and masters in their respective fields;
schools readily accessible to observe the best in teaching
today on the levels for which the students are preparing;
a student-teaching period professionally supervised and
directed.
5.
In our present social turmoil, democratic society looks to its
schools for leadership and direction and through the schools
to the teachers. The teacher cannot escape this added
responsibility of community leadership. The teachers
college must provide for adequate preparation for the
development of such leadership through a program of
varied activities.
6.
The success of the teacher depends as much upon a bal
anced, wholesome personality as upon any other of the
qualities that make for good teaching. Health, emotional
stability, and personal integrity are absolute essentials.
7.
College life, to be significantly wholesome in the education
of youth, must be permeated by noble ideals. Develop
ment of ethical standards in the life of the prospective
teacher is essential, if the teaching profession is to prove
a dynamic power for good in a democratic society.

Each prospective teacher enrolled in the secondary curricu
lum is required to complete one field of at least twenty-four
semester hours, and at least one field of not fewer than eighteen
semester hours. A second field of not fewer than eighteen
semester hours is often desirable. There are seven elective
fields. As early as possible in the student's enrollment he must
demonstrate competence in the fields chosen, before permission
is granted to complete requirements for certification.
To elect mathematics, a student must present three high
school units of mathematics, of which units algebra and plane
geometry must have been taken in the senior high school.

PROFESSIONAL INTEGRATION
In addition to a comprehensive background in the various
fields of human learning and a mastery of the field of speciali
zation, the prospective teacher must be well schooled in the body
of theory and practice which has been developing in the general
field of education. Such courses are generally labeled educa
tion courses, though their real function is the study and mastery
of the total learning process, the process of integration in the
experience of the learner. In the professional school for teach
ers the entire curriculum is educational, and specialized to serve
the educational field.
If prospective teachers are to acquire
the understanding and the skills necessary to make teaching
functional in the entire personality of the learner, the college
needs to make a definite attempt to integrate in the student's
thinking and in his performance theory and practice. Such in
tegration is no mere by-product, but should constitute a welldefined objective.
The college has these means of developing this integration.
First, courses giving the student perspective in the general field
of education. Second, observation of classroom learning situa
tions directed by master teachers. Third, actual teaching under
professional guidance.
EDUCATION 101. PLACE AND PURPOSE OF EDUCATION IN
THE SOCIAL ORDER—A student's first study of the general field
of Education should orientate him to the social objectives of all
levels of education. The exploratory purpose of this general
survey guides the student in the selection of his major field and
directs his thinking in basic changes schools are undergoing in
these modern times. The laboratory schools facilities on the
campus are used to give concreteness to reading and discussion.
3 semester hours.

THE LABORATORY SCHOOLS
The facilities for practice teaching at Slippery Rock are
unique. It is the only teacher-preparing institution in Penn
sylvania having a Laboratory School with all the grades from
the kindergarten through the senior high school on the campus
under its jurisdiction. All the children of school age in the
borough attend the campus school, since there is no other public
school in the district. Five rural schools in the adjoining towns lp ave also been closed and the children are transported by
us to the Laboratory School. This arrangement provides a
° a enrollment of five hundred fifty pupils for the elementary
grades and the junior-senior high school.
, T^e ®ystfm is administered and supervised by the Director

ing. The furniture, textbooks, facilities for conferences, and
the like, impress visiting teachers and superintendents.
Additional practice teaching facilities are offered in co
operating schools established in New Castle, Wilkinsburg, Tur
tle Creek, and three selected rural schools of the service area.
The supervising teachers of these co-operating schools are
master teachers with superior personal and professional qualifi
cations for the work which they are doing.
STUDENT TEACHING
Each senior spends the equivalent of a semester as a fulltime cadet or interne in the Campus Laboratory School or one
of the co-operating schools. This period is the capstone of the
student's preparation for teaching—the time when he begins
to assume teaching responsibilities. It provides the opportunity
for him to develop his capacity to direct teaching-learning situa
tions in a modern public school setting under the sympathetic
guidance of master teachers.
Approximately two-fifths of the student teaching period is
devoted to observation and participation in the teaching proce
dures of the supervisor. From the beginning, every effort is
made to have the student appreciate that he is a vital member
of the classroom group.
As soon as the student's confidence and insight warrant, he
is assigned simple duties such as marking papers, preparing
short tests, assisting during library or supervised study perio s,
telling a story, or making a class assignment. Frequent con
ferences are held in which the supervisor and student-teacher
discuss purposes, plans, and problems involved in teaching an
assigned group of pupils. In these initial steps he becomes
familiar with the routine of classroom management the prepara
tion of teaching materials, and the measurement and charting ot
pupil growth.
Students in the elementary Held spend the entire day in
one grade and really live with one group of children for half of
their teaching period. During the second nine weeks per.od,
a similar experience is provided on another gra e ev
Students in secondary education are assigned to_ three
classes for one full semester. These assignmen s
,
by the fields in which the student is seeking certification
SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE
made on several grade levels. This plan provides practice in
teaching situations in both the Junior and Senior High Schools.
Instructional materials are organized on the basis of units which
vary in length from one to four weeks. The student has ample
opportunity to observe and confer with the supervising teacher
in each subject matter field before he is required to develop and
teach a unit under guidance.
PLACEMENT SERVICE
An alert and effective placement service is sponsored by
the College. This work is done by a committee of the faculty.
The Director of the Laboratory Schools is chairman of this
Committee. Through his office, with the co-operation of the
deans and heads of departments, complete and accurate information is made available to superintendents, supervising
principals, and boards of education, relative to the scholarship,
ratings for practice teaching, personality traits, and character
of all seniors and alumni.
The attention of students is especially directed to this free
service. The committee co-operates with the Pennsylvania
Institutional Teachers Placement Association and the Teacher
Placement Bureau in the Department of Public Instruction,
Harrisburg.
Graduates are urged to keep this committee informed of
their successes in the field and their progress toward advanced
degrees, so that they may be recommended for promotion to
more responsible positions.

CLINICAL MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT
The Stanford Revision of the Binet Test is most frequently
used in mental testing. The Stutsman and Grace Arthur scales
and numerous form boards are available for the same purpose.
A battery of tests is utilized in securing an index of general
educational growth, while numerous tests especially designed
for the purpose of locating special reading disabilities are on
file. Aptitude and psychiatric scales are used when conditions
seem to warrant.
In checking for eye disability the Snellen Chart is available,
but the Betts Telebinocular is most frequently used. With the
Betts equipment it is possible to determine whether or not both
eyes function, to check vertical imbalance, sharpness of vision,
stereopis or depth of vision, near and far fusion, near or far
vision, and to detect astigmatism. The Ishihara Scale reveals
color blindness. The Ophthalmograph is a special 35mm mo
tion picture machine which records eye movements in reading.
This equipment makes it possible for the specialist to determine
the number of pauses and regressions for each line read and the
rate of reading. When faulty reading habits are discovered, a
corrective reading machine called a Metronoscope is employed
for the purpose of breaking undersirable and establishing desir
able reading habits.
The new Western Electric 6A Audiometer is used in meas
uring hearing disability. With this apparatus it is possible to
determine the degree of loss of hearing throughout the fre
quency range to which the human ear responds.
A hand dynamometer, which indicates the muscular
strength of the subject, Fairbanks scales, devices for determin
ing standing and sitting height, and other equipment of the
health room reveal the physical stature of the individual.
The Presto Recording Machine is used to make phono
graph records of the speech of clinical patients. It is thus pos
sible for the individual to hear his own speech deviations and
to analyze his progress from time to time.
SERVICE RENDERED
The psychological clinic receives all cases of general ec^~
cational retardation, social maladjustment, and sight and audi
tory disability. The mental growth of the subject is determined
by means of a battery of mental tests, which includes bot
SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE
ideational and performance tests. A psychiatric examination is
made when there seems to be evidence of menta unbalance. IN
cases of questionable vocational or professional choice, an ap
titude test is administered. Whenever the problem is one of
either inattention or faulty hearing, an auditory examination
is made. The necessary eye examinations are made when eye
disability is suspected as the cause of maladjustment.
The reading clinic serves not only pupils in the laboratory
school and in the public schools of the service area but also
college students who are handicapped by a reading disability.
The reading examination includes a battery of standardized
tests and informal diagnostic tests devised to indicate the indi
vidual's present accomplishment in this field and the character
istics of his reading. The results of the psychological examina
tion and those derived through the use of the scientific and
technical instruments found in the clinic are also utilized to
throw additional light on the probable causes of the pupil's dif
ficulty. As a result of the diagnosis, remedial materials and
procedures are recommended. From time to time the pupil
may be returned to the clinic so that progress may be checked
and additional suggestions made.
The speech clinic offers a two-fold service: examination,

ENGLISH
English is the most fundamental of all subjects, since train
ing in it functions in almost every life situation. It serves both
as a tool of expression and as a medium for interpreting thought.
Broadly considered, the ultimate goal of English, therefore, is to
equip the student, through mastery of English, for socially
efficient participation in the activities of life.
Courses in composition consist of English I, English II,
and Advanced Composition. The purpose of the work of the
freshman year (English I and II) is to give students an effec
tive command of the principles of construction, diction and style
and to provide opportunities for the formation of habits of cor
rectness leading to clear and effective expression. The methods
used are (1) a study of the principles of rhetoric and good us
age, (2) a study of good prose models, and (3) constant prac
tice, both written and oral. Since desirable habits of expression
are formed as a result of constant practice in correct usage,
the student is expected to maintain these standards in all of his
college courses and in his campus life.
In Advanced Composition opportunity is given to attempt
many types of expository, narrative, and descriptive writing.
Some types are given for the purpose of aiding the student in his
own problems of self-expression; others are given because they
may later be used to advantage in stimulating students in the
public schools.
The courses in literature are arranged in such a way that
the general surveys of English and American literature provide
an introduction to this subject on the college level. These sur
veys present in chronological order the major writers and writ
ings of England and America. It is expected that the student
will obtain from them not only esthetic and ethical values but
also an understanding of the historical development of these
literatures.
Later courses make intensive studies of certain periods,
such as the Romantic period, or of certain types of writing sue
as the short story, the essay, the novel, or the drama. In a
of the upperclass courses special attention is given to the prob
lems connected with the teaching of English in the junior-senior
high schools, and materials are selected with a view to t eir
cultural and professional uses.

GEOGRAPHY
Modern methods of communication and transportation are
linking the interests of the people of the world more closely together. International relationships are fostered by develop
ing more sympathetic understanding of world cultures under
varying geographic conditions. This may be accomplished
through the study of descriptions and interpretations of the
natural and man-made features of the landscape.
The explanation of the forms, patterns, and associations de
pends upon the application of geographic principles. Thus
geography is taken out of the realm of pure memory into a
field of reasoning.
The introductory course in geography is a world survey with
emphasis upon the natural features of the earth and the estab
lishment of basic principles. The application of these princi
ples to the economic activities of the people of the world pro
vides the subject matter for the second survey course. Follow
ing the two survey courses, four detailed regional analyses are
made of (a) The United States and Canada, (b) Latin Amer
ica, (c) Europe, and (d) The Pacific Realm. Two less de
tailed regional courses designed primarily for students who are
limited in the number of courses they can take, are (a) The
Western Hemisphere and (b) The Eastern Hemisphere.
For students who wish to continue their work in geography
five systematic courses are offered: (a) Meteorology, an analy
sis of weather and climate, (b) Physiography, a study of land
forms, (c) Conservation of our Natural Resources, (d) Com
mercial and Industrial Geography, and (e) Trade and Trans
portation.

MATHEMATICS
WHO satisfactorily completes a course as outlined will have no
serious difficulty in continuing his studies in the graduate field.
The remarkable advance in scientific achievement during this
century has been possible because of the mathematical achieve
ments of former generations. The designs for, and construc
tion of, such marvels as trans-oceanic flying ships, giant bridges,
smooth-running automobile engines and most of today's me
chanical conveniences; the manufacture of synthetic materials of
all kinds; the projection of man's thought and vision into space
through the use of powerful telescopes; the search into the realm
of the microscope for the basis of life and health and of the final
constitution of matter—all these accomplishments would be
impossible but for the groundwork of pure mathematical theory.
If provision is to be made for continued advance in these tech
nical fields, the present cannot ignore the field of mathematics—
nor should it be negligent in conserving this invaluable cultural
heritage. The technical experts of tomorrow are always in the
schools of today. Their accomplishments in the future depend
on the help and inspiration they are now having in the class
room; and that, in turn, depends on the social and scientific vi
sion of the teacher and his comprehension of the central posi
tion of mathematics in the scheme of progress.
To this end, the College offers a program of work in this
field which attempts at every point to be of service to the stu
dent in the mastery of subject matter and to the prospective
teacher in laying a broad basis of understanding for teaching
mathematics in the public schools. In the six units of work re
quired of those who choose mathematics as an elective field, the
department aims to extend the power for solution of algebraic
equations to the general rational, integral function; to provide a
brief survey of Euclidean geometry of space for those who have
had no experience with that phase of the subject; to stress alge
braic trigonometry, thus rounding out the secondary school con
cept of computational trigonometry; to extend the study of plane
geometry to include the conic sections through the use of the
ar esian coordinate system; to lay the foundation for an underSfa? !nV

SOCIAL STUDIES
NORTH HALL DORMITORY ROOM
One reason for a great deal of confused and superficial
thinking, and for unintelligent but costly experimentation in
the fields of economics, politics, social legislation, and interna
tional affairs in our society today is that the great masses of
people have no clear understanding or adequate knowledge of
the historical development of western civilization, of the essen
tial nature of our complex changing social order, or of our most
pressing and vital social problems. Rapid economic, political,
and social changes, swift developments in science and invention,
intensive application of science to the machine and industrial
processes, and enormous improvements in communication and
transportation have made the modern world small and closely
interdependent, multiplied opportunities for conflict between
opposing interest groups and aggressive world powers, created
a confused, complex social order, and tremendously increased
our social and economic problems. With the greater develop
ment of techniques of propaganda and the increased means,
sucb-as-the press and the radioffspreading emotional appeals, the
uncritical masses now may easily be whipped into a frenzy ror
war or other mob-like acts. Thus a great need arises for teach
ing critical thinking, unbiased scientific attitudes and open-mm edness in considering important issues and problems.
oug
great advances have been made in the solution of technical and
physical problems, the very rapidity of progress in the materia
world has created a great lag in the techniques o con
efficient administration in social, economic, and political he .

SPEECH
Elementary and secondary school systems are recognizing
the importance of: good speech in all teachers, and speech train
ing as a vital factor in the social development and school success
of all children in school. It is the purpose of this department,
therefore, to meet these rapidly increasing demands by: first,
aiding all prospective teachers to acquire good speech; second,
giving intensive training to those students who wish to special
ize in the field of Speech.
Fundamentals of Speech is required of all freshmen. Stu
dents with special vocal or articulatory problems will receive
remedial instruction in the College Clinic. Credit for the course
will not be given until there is satisfactory evidence that the
speech deficiencies have been completely removed.
The teacher of Speech should have a background of knowl
edge and skill in both the artistic and scientific aspects of the
field, as provided in the schedule of required courses. In the
elective courses, however, the student may concentrate, 1*_ke
wishes, on either dramatic activity or speech correction. The
laboratory theater, adequately equipped for instruction in the
division of drama, will make possible the presentation or nu
merous projects and plays. The clinical laboratory is designed o
serve members of the college, the laboratory schools, and sur
rounding communities, and at the same time to offer to Prospec
tive teachers practical training in modern clinical methods of
voice recording, audiometer testing, diagnostic technique, and
remedial treatment.

MUSIC
In adjusting our living to the changing social and economic
world, the individual and the social group must consider those
factors which can be made to contribute to a richer life. Of
the arts, music is most available and holds possibilities of under
standing for all sorts and dispositions of people. No educa
tional program for the individual or the group can be considered
complete without an intimate contact with this field of the fine
arts.
The program of music begins with an introductory apportunity for the individual to establish and expand his own per
sonal technique in listening to music (Music 102). The aim
here is to make meaningful much of the ample environment of
music which we constantly experience. The co-curricular pro
gram of music activities on the campus is planned so as to inte9rate with this introductory course. The two opportunities
offer the possibility of expanding or discovering one's musical
capacities.
Later on in the professional training, opportunities are given to further the individual's training through two courses in
?a/1C- fm
frJ^ry rand intermediate grades respectively
(Music 301 and 302). It is suggested that those intending to
teach at those levels avail themselves of all the possibilities for
improving t eir singing through participation in the co-curricular
activities program prior to the work in these courses. Two adnarM^LClOUrSef

HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Special Major Curriculum
The preparation of health and physical education teachers
is delegated by the State Council of Education to certain accred
ited colleges where equipment, instructional staff, curriculum,
and co-operative student teaching situations are adequate to
carry on a worthwhile program. Slippery Rock is the State
Teachers College of Western Pennsylvania thus approved and
has developed over a period of years all the factors that are
essential for this program.
Slippery Rock also fully meets the requirements as set
by the American Association for Health and Physical Educa
tion. This committee through a national study of professional
education, has drawn up a set of standards with which to eval
uate the ability of institutions to prapare men and women health
and physical education teachers.
The field of health and physical education offers opportun
ities for those interested in teaching to work in situations that
are particularly rich in educational content. The teacher comes
into such close and intimate contact with his pupils in activities
which call for important decisions and guidance, that the type
of leadership provided is highly important. The teacher mus
have high ideals and a strong, wholesome personality it good
results are to accrue.
The main purpose of this curriculum is to prepare teachers
and supervisors of health and physical education for the ele

STUDENT LIFE DIVISION
The program of the modern college must extend its activi
ties beyond what is generally known as the curricular. Every
phase of life is educative, and can be made conducive to the
development of a balanced, wholesome, integrated personality.
Particularly in a professional school for teachers must this be
evident in the entire college program. The teachers college
needs to take into account the entire individual in guiding this
development. Classwork and extra-class activities constitute an
integral part of the prospective teacher's education. The form
er aims at the development and enrichment of personality
through study or intellectual achievement, and the acquisition
of necessary accompanying skills, while the latter has the same
broad objective of the personality growth but attains this end
by less formally directed situations than the academic work of
the classroom.

From the very beginning of their freshman days, students
need the continuous counsel of those who understand student
problems of all kinds and are glad to be of help. To that end
' Cj e^e aas se* UP the means by which students can secure
the advice they need. One clock hour each week of the fresh
man s regular schedule for the first semester is devoted to
orientation and guidance with reference to academic and per
sonal problems. In addition to this, the dean of men, and dean
of women meet the freshmen at stated hours for special counS e Persona\ Growth and professional advancement

ministering the guidance program. This Committee has been
assigned executive and advisory responsibilities. It formulates
policies, which after adoption by the faculty, are administered
by the committee.
ADVISORY PROGRAM
The guidance program for advising or counseling the stu
dent through his three or four years of college is conducted by
two groups:
1. Upperclassmen
2. Faculty
These two groups act as counselors or advisers. Student
counselors consist of certain members selected from the sopho
more, junior and senior classes, and from the Student Council.
For the present, these student counselors advise freshmen dur
ing Freshman Week and the two or three weeks immediately
following it. Each of these student counselors is assigned a
group of freshmen whom they are to greet when the freshmen
arrive on the campus. The student counselors act as guides and
advisors in assisting the freshmen to make the proper adjust
ments at the beginning of their college career. The function o
the student counselors is to supplement the guidance and coun
seling of the faculty counselors. Through the combined efforts
of these two groups of counselors, the freshman is enabled to
make a quick, efficient, and satisfactory adjustment to his new
environment.
Faculty advisers are selected from those members ofthe
faculty who will teach first-semester
freshmen so that each
freshman will have as his faculty adviser some member
faculty who has that student in his classes.
Each freshman will ordinarily have the same fa^ty advrser throughout his freshman and sophomore years. "°Je^fJ:ser
soon as a student has selected his major field, a new adviser
is chosen
From time to time each faculty counselor
ferences with his advisees individually an
accroach his
ever, the student should feel free at a
™
throuqhout his
faculty counsellor and ask him for assis
college life.
f
The one aim of this college is to provides each of Ro
dents with every opportunity to prepare
,.
j one Qf
teacher. It has been said that advising is teaching in
82
SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE
its highest forms." As teachers, students will be called upon to
advise with their students. Through the advisory system at
Slippery Rock State Teachers College, students will become
familiar with one method of conducting an advisory program,
and they will be better prepared to fulfill the objectives of edu
cation in a democracy.
CoCuRRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Student organizations are essential in any college which is
interested in the personal, broadly cultural, and recreational
development of its students as well as the academic. Especially
is this true in a college preparing teachers. The teacher in the
modern school of democracy is called upon to exercise initiative
far beyond the confines of his special field of preparation. He
is looked to as a leader in many activities in and out of school.
To this end the students at Slippery Rock have organized
clubs, fraternities, etc., of many kinds to meet the needs and
interests of all. Participation in one or more of these organiza
tions should do at least three things for every student: (1)
develop certain avocational interests necessary in the life of
every teacher; (2) develop qualities of leadership, responsi
bility, initiative, cooperation, etc., not adequately provided for
in a more formal curriculum organization of class work; (3)
afford the student the opportunity to develop the knowledges
and skills required to sponsor co-curricular activties when they
assume teaching responsibilities.
The term "co-curricular" is preferred to "extra-curricular"
because activities of this kind are regarded as parallel to, or
necessary complements of, the regular curricular work of the
student.
All students are required to take part, without credit, in
one co-curricular activity for one semester each year.
STUDENT COUNCIL
Two years ago a student council was organized upon the
initiative of the students themselves. The members of the coun
cil are representatives of the various curricula and student
groups of the college. They function as a student government
group for the entire student body which is orgainzed as the
Student Government Association. The association adopted a
constitution to guide its own activities and those of the council.
Important beginnings have been made along the lines of dem
ocratic cooperation of the college administration and the rep
resentatives of the student body.

The Student Government Association sponsors a program
for broad cultural enrichment by bringing outstanding men and
women lecturers and musicians to the campus.
VESPER CHOIR. The Vesper Choir is an organization of

assigned executive and advisory responsibilities. It formulates
policies, which after adoption by the faculty, are administered

YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. This association
has been active on the campus for many years, striving to create
and maintain an atmosphere in which character may develop
and radiate its influence. Meetings are held regularly on
Wednesday evening at seven o'clock in the Men's Hut where
the "Y" has furnished and maintains a game room, bowling
alleys, pool tables, and other recreational facilities.
The guidance program for advising or counseling the stu
dent through his three or four years of college is conducted by
two groups:
1. Upperclassmen
YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. The chief
purpose of the Young Women's Christian Association is to
develop Christian leadership among the women students of the
college. Since membership is open to all women students, this
organization has a larger enrollment than any other cocurricular activity on the campus. Aside from holding its reg
ular weekly devotional and program meetings, the organization
finances a social and entertainment program, a student loan
fund, a definite welfare program, and participation in con
ferences and summer camps for representatives from the asso
ciation.
DEMOSTHENIAN DEBATING CLUB. The purpose of the de
bating club is to provide a co-curricular activity that will
offer opportunity to exercise and develop argumentative, foren
sic, and general speaking powers. It offers training in parlia
mentary drill and practice. In addition to its weekly meeting,
there are social activities for cultural development. Membership
is open to all college students. Debates with other colleges are
held throughout the year.
LITERATURE CLUB. The Literature Club was organized in
response to the wish of the members of the student body who

ADVISORY PROGRAM
2. Faculty
These two groups act as counselors or advisers. Student
counselors consist of certain members selected from the sopho
more, junior and senior classes, and from the Student Council.
For the present, these student counselors advise freshmen dur
ing Freshman Week and the two or three weeks immediately
following it. Each of these student counselors is assigned a
qroup of freshmen whom they are to greet when the freshmen
arrive on the campus. The student counselors act as guides and
advisors in assisting the freshmen to make the proper adjust
ments at the beginning of their college career. The function o
the student counselors is to supplement the guidance and coun
seling of the faculty counselors. Through the combined e
r
of these two groups of counselors, the freshman is gabled to
make a quick, efficient, and satisfactory adjustment to his new
environment.
Faculty advisers are selected from those members of j J
faculty who will teach first-semester
freshmen
so that each
freshman will have as his faculty adviser some member of the
faculty who has that student in his classes.
Each freshman will ordinarily have the same faculty adyiser throughout his freshman and sophomore y
.
acjviser
soon as a student has selected his major field, a new adviser
is chosen.
From time to time «ch,
ferences with his advisees individua y
,
accroach his
ever, the student should feel free a a
throughout his
faculty counsellor and ask him for assistance throughou
college life.

The one aim of this college is to
to be a good

teaching in one of

its highest forms." As teachers, students will be called upon to
advise with their students. Through the advisory system at
Slippery Rock State Teachers College, students will become
familiar with one method of conducting an advisory program,
and they will be better prepared to fulfill the objectives of education in a democracy.
CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Student organizations are essential in any college which is
interested in the personal, broadly cultural, and recreational
development of its students as well as the academic. Especially
is this true in a college preparing teachers. The teacher in the
modern school of democracy is called upon to exercise initiative
far beyond the confines of his special field of preparation. He
is looked to as a leader in many activities in and out of school.
To this end the students at Slippery Rock have organized
clubs, fraternities, etc., of many kinds to meet the needs and
interests of all. Participation in one or more of these organiza
tions should do at least three things for every student: (1)
develop certain avocational interests necessary in the life of
every teacher; (2) develop qualities of leadership, responsi
bility, initiative, cooperation, etc., not adequately provided for
in a more formal curriculum organization of class work; (3)
afford the student the opportunity to develop the knowledges
and skills required to sponsor co-curricular activties when they
assume teaching responsibilities.
The term "co-curricular" is preferred to "extra-curricular"
because activities of this kind are regarded as parallel to, or
necessary complements of, the regular curricular work of the
student.
All students are required to take part, without credit, in
one co-curricular activity for one semester each year.
STUDENT COUNCIL
Two years ago a student council was organized upon the
initiative of the students themselves. The members of the coun
cil are representatives of the various curricula and student
groups of the college. They function as a student government
group for the entire student body which is orgainzed as the
Student Government Association. The association adopted a
constitution to guide its own activities and those of the council.
Important beginnings have been made along the lines of dem
ocratic cooperation of the college administration and the rep
resentatives of the student body.

1.
Teaching affords one an opportunity to be of great service
to society. It is a public service that will challenge the best
one has to offer his fellows. The future of democracy de
pends upon our nation's schools. The schools need young
men and women of high ideals, thoroughly prepared to
lead the boys and girls of today to greater accomplishment
in the future.
2.
The profession of teaching opens a way to some of the
finest associations. On the whole, the teachers of our nation
are people of culture and enjoy the respect of the commun
ity. To belong to this profession is a privilege.
3.
Our state, among a number of others, offers security of
position to well-qualified teachers.
4.
The teacher's continuous contact with young people keeps
him youthful in outlook and dynamic in spirit.
5.
Teaching affords opportunity for continued growth through
reading, study, travel, and meeting people of other profes
sions.
6.
Teaching offers a variety of types of service, such as class
room work in elementary school, junior high school, senior
high school, college and graduate teaching; special fields
such as health and physicial education, music, art; super
vision and administration of schools; school psychologist;
and many others. Teaching in the elementary and high
schools is often found invaluable experience in preparing
for college teaching.
7.
Improved education of teachers is rapidly giving the teach
ing profession a higher standing in the community and
among other professions. Society wants many of its most
competent young people to respond to the call for educa
tional service.

SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE
WHY ATTEND A TEACHERS COLLEGE
1.
2.
3.
A teachers college is a professional school devoted exclu
sively to the preparation for educational service. All the
courses, particularly those of the last two years, and all the
campus activities in general are planned and organized with
a view toward teaching. From the very first day that the
student registers, his thought is the teaching profession.

en and grades one to three), intermediate (grades from
four to six), and rural.
b. Secondary: English, social studies, geography, biolog
ical science, physical science, the general science field,
and mathematics.
c. Speech: special certification in speech correction and in
the field of dramatics.
d. Health and physical education: a four-year preparatory
curriculum for the teaching and direction of all physical
education activities, in both elementary and secondary
schools, recreational activities, and the teaching of health.
The teachers college provides opportunity for students to
serve expert teaching in the grades or subjects for which
tney may be preparing.
2.
Opportunity to survey the general field of education before
the student is called upon to choose any special field of
concentration. The first two years constitute a general
background for the more intense professional work in the
last two years. The student may make a tentative choice
of field of preparation toward the close of the freshman
year and may choose his electives accordingly. Students
who decide at the close of either the first or second year
that they prefer some other field of activity rather than the
teaching profession, can transfer to other colleges without
serious loss of credit.
3.

The members of the faculty are men and women who have
demonstrated superior teaching ability. Many, and fre
quently all, have a number of years of experience on the
elementary or secondary level or both. They have first
hand knowledge of the work for which they help young
people prepare. This is regarded as essential by author
ities, for to teach one must know how to deal with the
problems of boys and girls as well as know the subject
matter which one is to teach.

Friendly, helpful counselling for every student, as ex

health is constantly being watched by the personnel of the
health department.
5.
Housing facilities which provide a comfortable and pleasing
environment. North Hall, the new women's dormitory, has
been recently completed and occupied. It provides all the
accommodations for student comfort; namely, spacious
rooms, lounges, infirmary, inside court with fountain. South
Hall is occupied by men and provides comfortable living
quarters. Both dormitories face the beautiful green of a
large campus and constitute the center of a semi-circle of
college buildings.
6.
Adequate classroom, laboratory, and library facilities all
o w ich have been greatly augmented by our new science
all and library. The new junior-senior high school to

for first-hand study of public school education.

All-around development of the student through social and
recreational activities of various kinds.

GENERAL INFORMATION
LOCATION OF THE COLLEGE
On the western edge of the Allegheny Plateau, in Butler
County, Pennsylvania, at a height of about thirteen hundred
feet, is the borough of Slippery Rock. On the William Flinn
super-highway, Route No. 8, the town is about fifty miles north
of Pittsburgh, seventeen miles from Butler, and twenty-eight
miles from Franklin. Route No. 108 connects it with New
Castle, seventeen miles west. Other improved highways con
nect it with Grove City, seven miles, and Mercer, fourteen
miles. Frequent bus service to and from all of these cities
makes Slippery Rock most accessible,
HISTORY
In 1887 the forward-looking folk of Slippery Rock and the
surrounding district began to plan for the establishment of an
academy, in order that their young people might have the
opportunity for education near their home. It was discovered
that the Eleventh District of the teacher training school system
of the Commonwealth was entitled to a normal school. Im
mediately the leaders widened their plans, sold stock to the
amount of $20,000, secured land, and in 1888 erected three
frame buildings, two dormitories and a recitation building and
chapel.
Their application for approval of the buildings and the
establishment of a State Normal School was acted upon favor
ably by the State Department of Public Instruction on the first
day of February, 1889. On the 26th of the following month
the first term of the new training school for teachers opened
with an enrollment of 168 students. The first class of eleven
members was graduated in 1890.
On June 4, 1926, the State Council of Education authorized
the institution to grant the degree of Bachelor of Science in
Health Education, in Elementary Education, and in Secondary
Education. On August 13, 1927, the State Council changed
the name of the State Normal School to the State Teachers
College at Slippery Rock.
The college is primarily to train teachers for the public
schools of the Commonwealth. Every student entering it
pledges himself, in view of the low cost of instruction, to teach
HE HUT
RECREATIONAL CENTER

SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE
in these schools for a period of two years. In the institution it
is always kept in mind that a good teacher must know more
than he is called upon to teach. Consequently many of the
courses are liberal and cultural, with the result that the educa
tion received by the graduates is general as well as professional.
CAMPUS AND BUILDINGS
,
jE CAMPUS . The site of the college comprises about a
hundred and fifteen acres of beautifully rolling land immediately
east of Route No. 8, in the borough of Slippery Rock. Besides
the campus proper of about twenty-five acres, there are exten
sive athletic fields and wide stretches of woodland.

BUILDINGS . On the campus proper are the twelve principal
buildings of the college, together with a half-dozen less impor
tant buildings. The campus is attractively landscaped and all
of the buildings are bound to the green of the spreading lawns
by carefully kept shrubbery, while the broad concrete walks
joining the various biuldings are in many places bordered with
evergreens and flowering shrubs. Splendid trees add to the
attractiveness. The aim is to have on the campus samples of
every kind of tree and shrub native to Pennsylvania, as well
as many others which may be grown in this latitude.
THE MAIN BUILDING houses many of the classrooms, the
student bookstore, the administration offices, and the offices of
many of the faculty.
THE CHAPEL is a splendid stone building seating about a
thousand. It is used for student assemblies, the Sunday vesper
service, dramatic performances, lectures and concerts and for
talking pictures. It is equipped with a modern sound picture
machine. The college aims to bring before the students both
at vesper service and at the week-day assemblies, speakers who
will instruct and inspire. A pipe organ adds constantly to the
effectiveness of services held in the Chapel.
The new SCIENCE HALL provides unusual facilities for the
teaching of science. These include special laboratories for
biology, chemistry, physics, physiology, and bacteriology, all
equipped to provide opportunities for a complete science pro
gram. A feature of the building is the museum where the
science collections are housed, and where teaching materials
are displayed. A greenhouse adjacent to the biology depart
ment augments the work in botany and nature study.
THE LABORATORY SCHOOLS compose a complete unit from
kindergarten through senior high school. The elementary
building was completed in 1930; the new secondary unit this
year. With the new addition the laboratory schools are now
provided with their own gymnasium, auditorium and rooms for
special subjects. These schools provide ample facilities for
demonstration and such experimental work as is found neces
sary on the campus. The entire building is well-equipped to
function in a modern school program from the kindergarten
through the twelfth grade.
LIBRARY .

The new Maltby Library was occupied in Feb

and reference work, as well as opportunities for recreational
reading. Special rooms are available for debate and group
conferences. The library contains about 20,000 well-selected
volumes, which, with a large pamphlet file, and a mounted
picture collection, furnish an abundance of reference material.
Here are also found the current and bound numbers of more
than 165 general and special subject periodicals and the latest
issues of nine local and national newspapers.
LABORATORY SCHOOL LIBRARIES. A professional reading

should bring their own blankets, towels, dresser covers, and
such personal effects as they may desire. Laundry work,
including ironing, not to exceed twelve plain pieces per week,
will be done by the college. All pieces sent to the laundry must
be plainly marked with the owner's name. Name tapes sewed
on articles of clothing constitute the best identification. An
excellent laundry and pressing room is maintained in each
dormitory for the convenience of the students.
DAY STUDENTS . Rooms for study and rest have been
provided for day and commuting students. The day student
rooms are in the basement of the Main Building and include
individual lockers, rest rooms, and tables for lunch.
GYMNASIUMS . On the south side of the campus are the
the two gymnasiums demanded by the physical education work
of the entire student body and by the special training given to
students preparing to teach health education. These two build
ings are joined by a third smaller building in which is a beautiful
modern swimming pool measuring twenty by sixty feet, well
designed both for instructional and recreational purposes. Ade
quate provisions have been made for maintaining sanitation and
for keeping the water in healthful condition.
The West Gymnasium is the home of the music depart
ment of the college with studios and practice rooms for music
students. This building contains several classrooms as well as
offices for some of the physical education staff, a running track,
handball court, a small gymnasium, and a large floor measuring
fifty by ninety feet. Here are found also rooms for visiting
teams, and the locker rooms and shower rooms for men. It is
completely equipped with all types of heavy apparatus.
The East Gymnasium has a floor space of sixty-eight
by eighty-two feet. A dividing net makes it possible to play
two games of basketball or volley ball at the same time. In
this building are additional offices, locker rooms and showers
for women, two rooms for corrective gymnastics, a dancing
room, and rest rooms.
THE HUT is a distinct asset to Slippery Rock. Designed as
a recreational center for the college, its main room paneled in
chestnut, is most attractively furnished with appealing rugs,
artistic draperies, comfortable davenports and chairs, and,
22
SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE
SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE
always a center of cheer, a great fire place in which usually
glows a comforting fire. Smaller rooms furnish a place for
committee meetings, a place for games, and a living suite for the
men in charge. In the room below are three bowling alleys,
ping-pong tables, and tables for pool and billiards. Through
out the building are hardwood floors. The facilities of the hut
are set aside for women students at definite times. The recrea
tional facilities are provided through the Student Government
Association.
ATHLETICS

A broad program of intramural athletics for women as well
as for men is in operation.
All students are encouraged to take part in athletic activi
ties. The college will make every effort to prevent injury. First
aid is available, but the college will not be responsible for
doctors' bills.
One physical activity is required of every student in the
elementary and secondary field every semester.
EXTENSION AND SATURDAY CLASSES
For students who wish to complete the four-year curricula,
credit for extension work may be secured by teachers in service
up to a total of twenty-five per cent of the courses included in
the curriculum, provided that it fits into the curriculum being
pursued and that it is given by an accredited institution. A
maximum of six semester hours of college credit will be
approved for any one semester while a student is doing full
time teaching. Classes will be organized in any center where
a sufficient number of students desire a course.
Many courses are offered on the campus each semester on
Saturday forenoons. Extension or Saturday classes should
appeal to teachers in service who are eager to make progress
toward the completion of a degree curriculum.
A fee of five dollars is charged for each semester hour
credit.
SUMMER SESSION
The summer session will open June 19 and close July 29.
The courses will be offered by regular members of the college

THE CURRICULA
UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES OF TEACHER EDUCATION
1.
The preparation of teachers for our public schools is a
specialized function in the general field of higher education,

centers about and is dominated by this one objective.

SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE
33
knowledges and skills demanded in the profession and their
capacity for continued growth demand appropriate facili
ties: a substantial program of studies; a library adequate for
wide and intensive reading; an instructional staff of com
petent teachers and masters in their respective fields;
schools readily accessible to observe the best in teaching
today on the levels for which the students are preparing;
a student-teaching period professionally supervised and
directed.
5.
In our present social turmoil, democratic society looks to its
schools for leadership and direction and through the schools
to the teachers. The teacher cannot escape this added
responsibility of community leadership. The teachers
college must provide for adequate preparation for the
development of such leadership through a program of
varied activities.
6.
The success of the teacher depends as much upon a bal
anced, wholesome personality as upon any other of the
qualities that make for good teaching. Health, emotional
stability, and personal integrity are absolute essentials.
7.
College life, to be significantly wholesome in the education
of youth, must be permeated by noble ideals. Develop
ment of ethical standards in the life of the prospective
teacher is essential, if the teaching profession is to prove
a dynamic power for good in a democratic society.

PROFESSIONAL INTEGRATION
In addition to a comprehensive background in the various
fields of human learning and a mastery of the field of speciali
zation, the prospective teacher must be well schooled in the body
of theory and practice which has been developing in the general
field of education. Such courses are generally labeled educa
tion courses, though their real function is the study and mastery
of the total learning process, the process of integration in the
experience of the learner. In the professional school for teach
ers the entire curriculum is educational, and specialized to serve
the educational field.
If prospective teachers are to acquire
the understanding and the skills necessary to make teaching
functional in the entire personality of the learner, the college
needs to make a definite attempt to integrate in the student's
thinking and in his performance theory and practice. Such in
tegration is no mere by-product, but should constitute a welldefined objective.
The college has these means of developing this integration.
First, courses giving the student perspective in the general field
of education. Second, observation of classroom learning situa
tions directed by master teachers. Third, actual teaching under
professional guidance.
EDUCATION 101. PLACE AND PURPOSE OF EDUCATION IN
THE SOCIAL ORDER—A student's first study of the general field
of Education should orientate him to the social objectives of all
levels of education. The exploratory purpose of this general
survey guides the student in the selection of his major field and
directs his thinking in basic changes schools are undergoing in
these modern times. The laboratory schools facilities on the
campus are used to give concreteness to reading and discussion.

THE LABORATORY SCHOOLS
The facilities for practice teaching at Slippery Rock are
unique. It is the only teacher-preparing institution in Penn
sylvania having a Laboratory School with all the grades from
the kindergarten through the senior high school on the campus
under its jurisdiction. All the children of school age in the
borough attend the campus school, since there is no other public
school in the district. Five rural schools in the adjoining towns lp ave also been closed and the children are transported by
us to the Laboratory School. This arrangement provides a
° a enrollment of five hundred fifty pupils for the elementary
grades and the junior-senior high school.

ing. The furniture, textbooks, facilities for conferences, and
the like, impress visiting teachers and superintendents.
Additional practice teaching facilities are offered in co
operating schools established in New Castle, Wilkinsburg, Tur
tle Creek, and three selected rural schools of the service area.
The supervising teachers of these co-operating schools are
master teachers with superior personal and professional qualifi
cations for the work which they are doing.
STUDENT TEACHING
Each senior spends the equivalent of a semester as a fulltime cadet or interne in the Campus Laboratory School or one
of the co-operating schools. This period is the capstone of the
student's preparation for teaching—the time when he begins
to assume teaching responsibilities. It provides the opportunity
for him to develop his capacity to direct teaching-learning situa
tions in a modern public school setting under the sympathetic
guidance of master teachers.
Approximately two-fifths of the student teaching period is
devoted to observation and participation in the teaching proce
dures of the supervisor. From the beginning, every effort is
made to have the student appreciate that he is a vital member
of the classroom group.
As soon as the student's confidence and insight warrant, he
is assigned simple duties such as marking papers, preparing
short tests, assisting during library or supervised study perio s,
telling a story, or making a class assignment. Frequent con
ferences are held in which the supervisor and student-teacher
discuss purposes, plans, and problems involved in teaching an
assigned group of pupils. In these initial steps he becomes
familiar with the routine of classroom management the prepara
tion of teaching materials, and the measurement and charting ot
pupil growth.
Students in the elementary Held spend the entire day in
one grade and really live with one group of children for half of
their teaching period. During the second nine weeks per.od,
a similar experience is provided on another gra e ev
Students in secondary education are assigned to_ three
classes for one full semester. These assignmen s
,

SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE
made on several grade levels. This plan provides practice in
teaching situations in both the Junior and Senior High Schools.
Instructional materials are organized on the basis of units which
vary in length from one to four weeks. The student has ample
opportunity to observe and confer with the supervising teacher
in each subject matter field before he is required to develop and
teach a unit under guidance.
PLACEMENT SERVICE
An alert and effective placement service is sponsored by
the College. This work is done by a committee of the faculty.
The Director of the Laboratory Schools is chairman of this
Committee. Through his office, with the co-operation of the
deans and heads of departments, complete and accurate information is made available to superintendents, supervising
principals, and boards of education, relative to the scholarship,
ratings for practice teaching, personality traits, and character
of all seniors and alumni.
The attention of students is especially directed to this free
service. The committee co-operates with the Pennsylvania
Institutional Teachers Placement Association and the Teacher
Placement Bureau in the Department of Public Instruction,
Harrisburg.
Graduates are urged to keep this committee informed of
their successes in the field and their progress toward advanced
degrees, so that they may be recommended for promotion to
more responsible positions.

CLINICAL MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT
The Stanford Revision of the Binet Test is most frequently
used in mental testing. The Stutsman and Grace Arthur scales
and numerous form boards are available for the same purpose.
A battery of tests is utilized in securing an index of general
educational growth, while numerous tests especially designed
for the purpose of locating special reading disabilities are on
file. Aptitude and psychiatric scales are used when conditions
seem to warrant.
In checking for eye disability the Snellen Chart is available,
but the Betts Telebinocular is most frequently used. With the
Betts equipment it is possible to determine whether or not both
eyes function, to check vertical imbalance, sharpness of vision,
stereopis or depth of vision, near and far fusion, near or far
vision, and to detect astigmatism. The Ishihara Scale reveals
color blindness. The Ophthalmograph is a special 35mm mo
tion picture machine which records eye movements in reading.
This equipment makes it possible for the specialist to determine
the number of pauses and regressions for each line read and the
rate of reading. When faulty reading habits are discovered, a
corrective reading machine called a Metronoscope is employed
for the purpose of breaking undersirable and establishing desir
able reading habits.
The new Western Electric 6A Audiometer is used in meas
uring hearing disability. With this apparatus it is possible to
determine the degree of loss of hearing throughout the fre
quency range to which the human ear responds.
A hand dynamometer, which indicates the muscular
strength of the subject, Fairbanks scales, devices for determin
ing standing and sitting height, and other equipment of the
health room reveal the physical stature of the individual.
The Presto Recording Machine is used to make phono
graph records of the speech of clinical patients. It is thus pos
sible for the individual to hear his own speech deviations and
to analyze his progress from time to time.
SERVICE RENDERED
The psychological clinic receives all cases of general ec^~
cational retardation, social maladjustment, and sight and audi
tory disability. The mental growth of the subject is determined
by means of a battery of mental tests, which includes bot
SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE
ideational and performance tests. A psychiatric examination is
made when there seems to be evidence of menta unbalance. IN
cases of questionable vocational or professional choice, an ap
titude test is administered. Whenever the problem is one of
either inattention or faulty hearing, an auditory examination
is made. The necessary eye examinations are made when eye
disability is suspected as the cause of maladjustment.
The reading clinic serves not only pupils in the laboratory
school and in the public schools of the service area but also
college students who are handicapped by a reading disability.
The reading examination includes a battery of standardized
tests and informal diagnostic tests devised to indicate the indi
vidual's present accomplishment in this field and the character
istics of his reading. The results of the psychological examina
tion and those derived through the use of the scientific and
technical instruments found in the clinic are also utilized to
throw additional light on the probable causes of the pupil's dif
ficulty. As a result of the diagnosis, remedial materials and
procedures are recommended. From time to time the pupil
may be returned to the clinic so that progress may be checked
and additional suggestions made.
The speech clinic offers a two-fold service: examination,
diagnosis, and remedial treatment for students on campus in
the college and in the laboratory schools; and examinations,
diagnosis, and remedial advisory service to out-of-town patients.
Any school system in the service area may arrange with the
director of the clinic to hold the speech clinic in the home com
munity. Such arrangements are particularly desirable for
schools that recognize as a responsibility of free education the
removal of speech deficiencies and who wish to aid in develop'
ing a program of corrective speech.

ENGLISH
English is the most fundamental of all subjects, since train
ing in it functions in almost every life situation. It serves both
as a tool of expression and as a medium for interpreting thought.
Broadly considered, the ultimate goal of English, therefore, is to
equip the student, through mastery of English, for socially
efficient participation in the activities of life.
Courses in composition consist of English I, English II,
and Advanced Composition. The purpose of the work of the
freshman year (English I and II) is to give students an effec
tive command of the principles of construction, diction and style
and to provide opportunities for the formation of habits of cor
rectness leading to clear and effective expression. The methods
used are (1) a study of the principles of rhetoric and good us
age, (2) a study of good prose models, and (3) constant prac
tice, both written and oral. Since desirable habits of expression
are formed as a result of constant practice in correct usage,
the student is expected to maintain these standards in all of his
college courses and in his campus life.
In Advanced Composition opportunity is given to attempt
many types of expository, narrative, and descriptive writing.
Some types are given for the purpose of aiding the student in his
own problems of self-expression; others are given because they
may later be used to advantage in stimulating students in the
public schools.
The courses in literature are arranged in such a way that
the general surveys of English and American literature provide
an introduction to this subject on the college level. These sur
veys present in chronological order the major writers and writ
ings of England and America. It is expected that the student
will obtain from them not only esthetic and ethical values but
also an understanding of the historical development of these
literatures.
Later courses make intensive studies of certain periods,
such as the Romantic period, or of certain types of writing sue
as the short story, the essay, the novel, or the drama. In a
of the upperclass courses special attention is given to the prob
lems connected with the teaching of English in the junior-senior
high schools, and materials are selected with a view to t eir
cultural and professional uses.

GEOGRAPHY
Modern methods of communication and transportation are
linking the interests of the people of the world more closely together. International relationships are fostered by develop
ing more sympathetic understanding of world cultures under
varying geographic conditions. This may be accomplished
through the study of descriptions and interpretations of the
natural and man-made features of the landscape.
The explanation of the forms, patterns, and associations de
pends upon the application of geographic principles. Thus
geography is taken out of the realm of pure memory into a
field of reasoning.
The introductory course in geography is a world survey with
emphasis upon the natural features of the earth and the estab
lishment of basic principles. The application of these princi
ples to the economic activities of the people of the world pro
vides the subject matter for the second survey course. Follow
ing the two survey courses, four detailed regional analyses are
made of (a) The United States and Canada, (b) Latin Amer
ica, (c) Europe, and (d) The Pacific Realm. Two less de
tailed regional courses designed primarily for students who are
limited in the number of courses they can take, are (a) The
Western Hemisphere and (b) The Eastern Hemisphere.
For students who wish to continue their work in geography
five systematic courses are offered: (a) Meteorology, an analy
sis of weather and climate, (b) Physiography, a study of land
forms, (c) Conservation of our Natural Resources, (d) Com
mercial and Industrial Geography, and (e) Trade and Trans
portation.

WHO satisfactorily completes a course as outlined will have no
serious difficulty in continuing his studies in the graduate field.
The remarkable advance in scientific achievement during this
century has been possible because of the mathematical achieve
ments of former generations. The designs for, and construc
tion of, such marvels as trans-oceanic flying ships, giant bridges,
smooth-running automobile engines and most of today's me
chanical conveniences; the manufacture of synthetic materials of
all kinds; the projection of man's thought and vision into space
through the use of powerful telescopes; the search into the realm
of the microscope for the basis of life and health and of the final
constitution of matter—all these accomplishments would be
impossible but for the groundwork of pure mathematical theory.
If provision is to be made for continued advance in these tech
nical fields, the present cannot ignore the field of mathematics—
nor should it be negligent in conserving this invaluable cultural
heritage. The technical experts of tomorrow are always in the
schools of today. Their accomplishments in the future depend
on the help and inspiration they are now having in the class
room; and that, in turn, depends on the social and scientific vi
sion of the teacher and his comprehension of the central posi
tion of mathematics in the scheme of progress.
To this end, the College offers a program of work in this
field which attempts at every point to be of service to the stu
dent in the mastery of subject matter and to the prospective
teacher in laying a broad basis of understanding for teaching
mathematics in the public schools. In the six units of work re
quired of those who choose mathematics as an elective field, the
department aims to extend the power for solution of algebraic
equations to the general rational, integral function; to provide a
brief survey of Euclidean geometry of space for those who have
had no experience with that phase of the subject; to stress alge
braic trigonometry, thus rounding out the secondary school con
cept of computational trigonometry; to extend the study of plane
geometry to include the conic sections through the use of the
ar esian coordinate system; to lay the foundation for an underSfa? !nV

SOCIAL STUDIES
NORTH HALL DORMITORY ROOM
One reason for a great deal of confused and superficial
thinking, and for unintelligent but costly experimentation in
the fields of economics, politics, social legislation, and interna
tional affairs in our society today is that the great masses of
people have no clear understanding or adequate knowledge of
the historical development of western civilization, of the essen
tial nature of our complex changing social order, or of our most
pressing and vital social problems. Rapid economic, political,
and social changes, swift developments in science and invention,
intensive application of science to the machine and industrial
processes, and enormous improvements in communication and
transportation have made the modern world small and closely
interdependent, multiplied opportunities for conflict between
opposing interest groups and aggressive world powers, created
a confused, complex social order, and tremendously increased
our social and economic problems. With the greater develop
ment of techniques of propaganda and the increased means,
sucb-as-the press and the radioffspreading emotional appeals, the
uncritical masses now may easily be whipped into a frenzy ror
war or other mob-like acts. Thus a great need arises for teach
ing critical thinking, unbiased scientific attitudes and open-mm edness in considering important issues and problems.
oug
great advances have been made in the solution of technical and
physical problems, the very rapidity of progress in the materia
world has created a great lag in the techniques o con
efficient administration in social, economic, and political he .
These facts indicate the necessity for more and more in
tensive study of social, economic, and po itical developments of

SPEECH
Elementary and secondary school systems are recognizing
the importance of: good speech in all teachers, and speech train
ing as a vital factor in the social development and school success
of all children in school. It is the purpose of this department,
therefore, to meet these rapidly increasing demands by: first,
aiding all prospective teachers to acquire good speech; second,
giving intensive training to those students who wish to special
ize in the field of Speech.
Fundamentals of Speech is required of all freshmen. Stu
dents with special vocal or articulatory problems will receive
remedial instruction in the College Clinic. Credit for the course
will not be given until there is satisfactory evidence that the
speech deficiencies have been completely removed.
The teacher of Speech should have a background of knowl
edge and skill in both the artistic and scientific aspects of the
field, as provided in the schedule of required courses. In the
elective courses, however, the student may concentrate, 1*_ke
wishes, on either dramatic activity or speech correction. The
laboratory theater, adequately equipped for instruction in the
division of drama, will make possible the presentation or nu
merous projects and plays. The clinical laboratory is designed o
serve members of the college, the laboratory schools, and sur
rounding communities, and at the same time to offer to Prospec
tive teachers practical training in modern clinical methods of
voice recording, audiometer testing, diagnostic technique, and
remedial treatment.

MUSIC
In adjusting our living to the changing social and economic
world, the individual and the social group must consider those
factors which can be made to contribute to a richer life. Of
the arts, music is most available and holds possibilities of under
standing for all sorts and dispositions of people. No educa
tional program for the individual or the group can be considered
complete without an intimate contact with this field of the fine
arts.
The program of music begins with an introductory apportunity for the individual to establish and expand his own per
sonal technique in listening to music (Music 102). The aim
here is to make meaningful much of the ample environment of
music which we constantly experience. The co-curricular pro
gram of music activities on the campus is planned so as to inte9rate with this introductory course. The two opportunities
offer the possibility of expanding or discovering one's musical
capacities.
Later on in the professional training, opportunities are given to further the individual's training through two courses in
?a/1C- fm
frJ^ry rand intermediate grades respectively

HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Special Major Curriculum
The preparation of health and physical education teachers
is delegated by the State Council of Education to certain accred
ited colleges where equipment, instructional staff, curriculum,
and co-operative student teaching situations are adequate to
carry on a worthwhile program. Slippery Rock is the State
Teachers College of Western Pennsylvania thus approved and
has developed over a period of years all the factors that are
essential for this program.
Slippery Rock also fully meets the requirements as set
by the American Association for Health and Physical Educa
tion. This committee through a national study of professional
education, has drawn up a set of standards with which to eval
uate the ability of institutions to prapare men and women health
and physical education teachers.
The field of health and physical education offers opportun
ities for those interested in teaching to work in situations that
are particularly rich in educational content. The teacher comes
into such close and intimate contact with his pupils in activities
which call for important decisions and guidance, that the type
of leadership provided is highly important. The teacher mus
have high ideals and a strong, wholesome personality it good
results are to accrue.
The main purpose of this curriculum is to prepare teachers
and supervisors of health and physical education for the ele
mentary and secondary schools. The curricu um as

STUDENT LIFE DIVISION
The program of the modern college must extend its activi
ties beyond what is generally known as the curricular. Every
phase of life is educative, and can be made conducive to the
development of a balanced, wholesome, integrated personality.
Particularly in a professional school for teachers must this be
evident in the entire college program. The teachers college
needs to take into account the entire individual in guiding this
development. Classwork and extra-class activities constitute an
integral part of the prospective teacher's education. The form
er aims at the development and enrichment of personality
through study or intellectual achievement, and the acquisition
of necessary accompanying skills, while the latter has the same
broad objective of the personality growth but attains this end
by less formally directed situations than the academic work of
the classroom.
The student life division has a broad scope of activity in
cluding:

GUIDANCE
From the very beginning of their freshman days, students
need the continuous counsel of those who understand student
problems of all kinds and are glad to be of help. To that end
' Cj e^e aas se* UP the means by which students can secure
the advice they need. One clock hour each week of the fresh
man s regular schedule for the first semester is devoted to
orientation and guidance with reference to academic and per
sonal problems. In addition to this, the dean of men, and dean
of women meet the freshmen at stated hours for special counS e Persona\ Growth and professional advancement

ministering the guidance program. This Committee has been
assigned executive and advisory responsibilities. It formulates
policies, which after adoption by the faculty, are administered
by the committee.
ADVISORY PROGRAM
The guidance program for advising or counseling the stu
dent through his three or four years of college is conducted by
two groups:
1. Upperclassmen
2. Faculty
These two groups act as counselors or advisers. Student
counselors consist of certain members selected from the sopho
more, junior and senior classes, and from the Student Council.
For the present, these student counselors advise freshmen dur
ing Freshman Week and the two or three weeks immediately
following it. Each of these student counselors is assigned a
group of freshmen whom they are to greet when the freshmen
arrive on the campus. The student counselors act as guides and
advisors in assisting the freshmen to make the proper adjust
ments at the beginning of their college career. The function o
the student counselors is to supplement the guidance and coun
seling of the faculty counselors. Through the combined efforts
of these two groups of counselors, the freshman is enabled to
make a quick, efficient, and satisfactory adjustment to his new
environment.
Faculty advisers are selected from those members ofthe
faculty who will teach first-semester
freshmen so that each
freshman will have as his faculty adviser some member
faculty who has that student in his classes.
Each freshman will ordinarily have the same fa^ty advrser throughout his freshman and sophomore years. "°Je^fJ:ser

is chosen

The one aim of this college is to provides each of Ro
dents with every opportunity to prepare
,.
j one Qf
teacher. It has been said that advising is teaching in
82
SLIPPERY ROCK STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE
its highest forms." As teachers, students will be called upon to
advise with their students. Through the advisory system at
Slippery Rock State Teachers College, students will become
familiar with one method of conducting an advisory program,
and they will be better prepared to fulfill the objectives of edu
cation in a democracy.
CoCuRRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Student organizations are essential in any college which is
interested in the personal, broadly cultural, and recreational
development of its students as well as the academic. Especially
is this true in a college preparing teachers. The teacher in the
modern school of democracy is called upon to exercise initiative
far beyond the confines of his special field of preparation. He
is looked to as a leader in many activities in and out of school.
To this end the students at Slippery Rock have organized
clubs, fraternities, etc., of many kinds to meet the needs and
interests of all. Participation in one or more of these organiza
tions should do at least three things for every student: (1)
develop certain avocational interests necessary in the life of
every teacher; (2) develop qualities of leadership, responsi
bility, initiative, cooperation, etc., not adequately provided for
in a more formal curriculum organization of class work; (3)
afford the student the opportunity to develop the knowledges
and skills required to sponsor co-curricular activties when they
assume teaching responsibilities.
The term "co-curricular" is preferred to "extra-curricular"
because activities of this kind are regarded as parallel to, or
necessary complements of, the regular curricular work of the
student.
All students are required to take part, without credit, in
one co-curricular activity for one semester each year.
STUDENT COUNCIL
Two years ago a student council was organized upon the
initiative of the students themselves. The members of the coun
cil are representatives of the various curricula and student
groups of the college. They function as a student government
group for the entire student body which is orgainzed as the
Student Government Association. The association adopted a
constitution to guide its own activities and those of the council.
Important beginnings have been made along the lines of dem
ocratic cooperation of the college administration and the rep
resentatives of the student body.

the college, literary programs of high character.
