LOCATION
The State Teachers College at Slippery Rock is located on the
William Flinn Highway between Pittsburgh and Erie in Butler County.
The location of the school is pleasant and healthful. Slippery Rock
is a small but progressive town and being within a twenty mile radius
of Butler, New Castle, Grove City, Mercer, and Ellwood City, it is
easily accessible from all directions. Slippery Rock is located at the
intersection of the improved roads from Pittsburgh to Erie, and from
New Castle to Franklin. These roads are kept in good condition all
the year.
The school may be reached by train from Pittsburgh and Erie via
the B. & O. and the B. & L. E. trains to Harrisville Station, four
miles distant. Those coming from Pittsburgh may take the Butler
Short Line or the Harmony Line to Butler, or may come by way of
New Castle on the Pennsylvania R. R. or the Pittsburgh and Lake
Erie R. R. There is good bus service from both these points to Slip
pery Rock. There is also good bus service from Grove City, Franklin,
and points north.

HISTORY
J. C. WERNER, A.B., M.A.
The organization of Slippery Rock State Normal School grew out
of a desire of the people of the town and surrounding community to
have a school in their midst in which their children could secure an
education without leaving their homes. With this end in view a plan
was formed, in the fall of 1887, for the erection of a building suitable
for an academy and for providing funds for the support of the school
until it should become self-sustaining. During this stage of the effort,
it was discovered that no normal school had been established in this,
the Eleventh District. At once the scope of their efforts was widened
to include the larger enterprise and stock was sold to the amount of
$20,000. During the summer of 1888 and following winter, land
was procured and three frame buildings were erected—a chapel con
taining recitation rooms, and two dormitories.
Application was made to the Department of Public Instruction
for the approval of the buildings and the establishment of a state
normal school for this district. The first day of February, 1889, was

set as the date for the inspection of the buildings and on that day
the committee of the state met and approved the application.
The necessary steps were taken toward the organization of the
school and the first term opened on March 26, 1889, with an enroll
ment of 168 students. The first class, consisting of eleven members,
was graduated in 1890.
On June 4, 1926, the State Council of Education authorized the
State Normal School to offer degrees of Bachelor of Science, in Health
Education, in Elementary Education and in Junior High School
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 growth of the school has been rapid along all lines. The
enlarged field of service opened up to the State Teachers College will
enable the school to move forward with the educational progress of
Pennsylvania. The policy of those in charge has always been to keep
prominently in view the purpose for which it was established—thetraining of teachers for the public schools of the state.
CAMPUS, BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT
The Campus. The campus of the State Teachers College com
prises about fifty-seven
acres. The part of the campus immediately
surrounding the buildings borders on the William Flinn Highway. It
has been well laid out with drives and walks, and the location of
the buildings makes it one of the most beautiful campuses in Western
Pennsylvania.
Main Building. The Main Building contains classrooms, the library
and reading room, the administration offices, and the supply room.
The basement has been made into modern laboratories for science
work. On the third floor, the Secondary Department of the Training
School is housed with its own chapel and offices. Every effort has
been made to keep this building and its equipment up-to-date.
North Hall. North Hall is a beautiful, home-like building, with
a frontage of two hundred feet. In addition to the living quarters of
a large number of women students, and the infirmary, it contains the
President's apartment, a recently enlarged dining room with a seating
capacity of 560 persons, the kitchens and pantries.
South Hall. In the fall of 1924, girls were assigned to South
Hall, located on the southern end of the campus and formerly the
men's dormitory. Like North Hall, this building is equipped with all
modern conveniences and the rooms are comfortably furnished.

Chapel. The chapel is a fine stone building 89 x 100 feet, of
Norman-French architecture. It is situated between North and South
Halls. It has a seating capacity of seven hundred persons and a gallery
with three hundred additional seats. This building contains a splendid
pipe organ, the use of which adds much to the daily chapel exercises.
Gymnasium and Music Hall. The gymnasium is a modern build
ing, well equipped to meet the requirements of the health education
course which we offer. Locker rooms have been installed which will
add greatly to the convenience of students. In addition to the gym
nasium floor, this building contains studios and practice rooms for
music students. Plans have been approved for a new gymnasium at
the State Teachers College, Slippery Rock, Pa. This building will
mean much for the efficiency of the Health Education Department.
It will contain lockers, adequate showers, and a large swimming pool,
and will be ready for use sometime during the year 1930-1931.
Training School. This building adds much to our facilities dur
ing the school year.
Located directly on the campus, the practice
school does not interfere with the regular school work. The rooms
are adapted to separate grades, and children from the kindergarten
through the junior high school are cared for in this building. The
sum of $125,000 has been appropriated for building the first unit of
a new Training School at Slippery Rock. This new building will
house the kindergarten and the first six grades. It will be ready for
occupancy in the fall of 1930. Until the second unit is completed,
the senior-junior high school will occupy the present training school.
Men's Quarters. Since placing girls in South Hall, the men have
been cared for in various houses on and near the campus. These
houses are all equipped with electric light, steam heat and modern
conveniences. The men take their meals in the dining room in North
Hall.
Other Buildings. In addition to the above buildings, the school
maintains its own power plant, laundry, bake shop, repair shop and
garage, each of which is housed separately.

State Teachers College
SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTS
FOR ADMISSION
Adopted by the
Board of Normal School Principals
Admission to a State Teachers College shall be on the basis of
graduation from an approved four-year high school, or equivalent
training in an approved private secondary school.
Graduates of senior high schools in a school district maintaining
an approved junior high school organization will be admitted on evi
dence of twelve units of preparation earned in grades 10, 11 and 12.
A unit represents not less than 120 sixty-minute periods of pre
pared work or the equivalent.
Graduates of approved two-year high schools are entitled to not
more than eight units of credit and graduates of approved three-year
high schools to not more than twelve units of credit toward the stand
ard admission requirement; provided, however, that such students, or
other students having irregular entrance qualifications, may take exam
inations in additional subjects taken in course in county superin
tendents' offices in all counties having such students, at the close of
the school year. These examinations will be given under the direction
of the Credentials Bureau of the Department of Public Instruction,
under a cooperative plan adopted by the Board of Normal School Prin
cipals, January 15, 1926. In case of failure in a subject, or subjects,
the student, after additional study during the summer, may take a
second examination in August at one of the State Teachers Colleges
or at any one of the centers where state examinations are regularly
conducted, namely Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, and Scranton.
Under this arrangement students who complete the work of a
four-year high school with a three-year rating may take examinations
in fourth-year subjects and thereby receive credit equivalent to that
of a four-year high school; graduates of three-year high schools with
a two-year rating may take examinations in third-year subjects for a
T ij Vn t^,rfe years
approved high school work. All inquiries
should be addressed to the Credentials Bureau, Department of Public
Instruction, Harrisburg, Pa.
Credentials of all students entering the state teachers college on
the basis of an approved four-year preparation shall be received and
Forty-second Annual Catalog
23
evaluated by the college; students not having an approved four-year
preparation or students whose preparation is irregular, shall have their
credentials evaluated by the Credentials Bureau of the Department of
Public Instruction.
Graduates of approved four-year high schools or of equivalent
private secondary schools who desire admission to a State Teachers
College without examination must present a detailed statement of all
studies pursued, including the time devoted to such studies, and the
grades received. Blanks for such purposes may be secured from the
State Teachers College. These blanks should be filled out by the
principal of the school which the student attended, or where this is
impossible, by the local superintendent of schools.
Advanced credit will be given for equivalent courses in approved
institutions of collegiate grade, but no students may obtain a certifi
cate of graduation without a minimum residence of one year. (Teach
ers who have been granted credit for experience may finish with a
minimum residence of one-half year).
The usual health certificate required by law for the certification
of teachers shall be presented by all applicants for admission. Appli
cants disqualified, by reason of physical defects, from the successful
performance of the duties of a teacher will not be admitted.
All applicants for admission shall present evidence of good moral
character and ideals characteristic of the teaching service.
No candidate for a college certificate shall receive more than
twenty semester hours of credit toward graduation for work done in
extension classes or by correspondence.
CURRICULA OF THE STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE AT SLIPPERY ROCK
STUDENTS MUST SELECT ONE OF SIX CURRICULA
The curricula that are offered to students have been organized
upon the principle that teaching in the elementary schools can be
classified into sufficiently definite types to require specialization.
The two-year courses are divided into four semesters. The work
of the first semester is the same for all students. A large purpose of
the work of the first semester is to acquaint students with the re
quirements for successful teaching in the different grades so that they
may be able to decide intelligently in what grade or grades they prefer
to teach. The course entitled "Introduction to Teaching," which in
cludes observation and participation in the training school, is especially
designed to aid students in a wise selection of a curriculum.
o4
State Teachers College
^ "At the end of the first semester students are asked to select one
of the curricula for the purpose of specializing in a specific field of
teaching. The work of each curriculum must be completed in its
entirety. Students may be granted the privilege of changing from
one curriculum to another only on condition that the prescribed courses
of any curriculum so selected must be completed before a certificate
of graduation is granted.
The State Teachers College at Slippery Rock has been authorized
by the State Council of Education to offer two four-year courses lead
ing to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education, and a four-year
course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Health Education.
High school graduates wishing to complete the four-year elemen
tary or the four-year junior high school course should reach this con

All students, before receiving a final

during any semester.
STANDARD FOR GRADUATION
The State Teachers College at Slippery Rock offers to young men
and women an opportunity to prepare for the teaching profession.
With this purpose in mind, the faculty has adopted a system which
eliminates those who either are not earnestly endeavoring to make the
most of the privilege offered them by the State of Pennsylvania, or
who do not have the qualities deemed necessary to make successful
teachers for the public schools. Students are notified at regular in
tervals of poor work in their classes, and full reports are given to
them at the middle and end of each semester. Reports are sent to
the parents at the close of each semester, but they may have midsemester reports at any time upon receipt of request.
The following system of marking and standard of graduation has
been adopted by the faculty:
1.
Point system as follows:
Each credit hour with a grade of A counts three points.
Each credit hour with a grade of B counts two points.
Each credit hour with a grade of C counts one point.
Only those students shall be deemed worthy of graduation whose
total points equal in number the credit hours required for graduation.
This insures that a student in order to graduate must have an average
standing for his whole course of not less than C.
2. Any student who at the end of his first semester receives as
many as two-thirds of the number of hours on his program with grades
of F and D shall be automatically suspended from the privileges of
the school. Such students will be permitted to return not earlier than
a year from their first registration and will be required to repeat the
work of the semester with the exception of the subjects in which they
received grades of A, B, or C.
Further, any student who at the end of any other semester re
ceives as many as one-half of the number of hours on his program
with grades of F and D shall be automatically suspended from the
privileges of the school for at least one full semester. Such students
will be allowed to return after one full semester, and will be required
State Teachers College
26
to repeat all subjects in which, during their preceding semester, they
received either F or D.
The above is based upon the marking system as follows:
A—excellent
B—good
C—satisfactory
D—credit
F—unsatisfactory
No percentage value has been attached to these letters.

PREPARATION OF TEACHERS FOR THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Elective Fields for Prospective Junior High School Teachers
The Board of Normal School Principals believes that the time has
come to abandon the attempt to prepare teachers for the junior high
schools in less than four years of post-high school work. The follow
ing courses are prescribed in a four-year junior high school curriculum:
The person who is to teach successfully in the junior high school
must have, in addition to what has been prescribed, a special prepara
tion in at least two fields. A third field, in which less preparation is
possible, is also desirable. Electives in five fields are provided.

TRAINING SCHOOL
At Slippery Rock, all of the children of the local community are
enrolled in the training school, including the kindergarten, elementa
ry grades from 1 to 6, junior high school and senior high school. Junior
and senior high school students from the surrounding school districts
are admitted to grade nine of the junior high school and to the senior
high school upon the payment monthly in advance of tuition, amount
determined by law, not to exceed $12.00 per month, to the local school
board of Slippery Rock. Students from the surrounding district may
be admitted to the elementary grades by proper arrangement with the
local board and the director of the training school.
Arrangement has been made to establish branch training schools
at New Castle, Coraopolis and Turtle Creek. The school at New Cas-
Forty-second

tie has been in operation for six years. For rural school teachers, train
ing school relations have been established with rural school districts
in Butler and Lawrence counties.
Each of the branch training schools is under direct supervision of
the county or district superintendent of schools and the director of the
Slippery Rock training school.
Since our practice school is a regular county school, the value of
the year's experience thus gained by seniors cannot be over-estimated.
GENERAL INFORMATION
ATHLETICS
Athletic sports are encouraged as a means of pleasant recreation,
for their value in developing the body, as a source of social and ethical
culture, and to cultivate the spirit of co-operative enterprise so essen
tial to individuals throughout life. When athletics are so managed as
to develop determination, courage, self-reliance, obedience, and quick
ness of decision, there is much to be urged in their favor. Tennis,
hockey, basketball, baseball, and football are the games most in use.
Teams representing the school as well as the various classes are chosen
in all the major sports and are conditioned and trained by the coach
and director of athletics.
Athletics are not confined to boys only, as is the case in so
many schools, but the girls are encouraged to participate in all sports,
and have the advantage of coaching and direction of those in charge
of this work.
Students are encouraged to enter athletics. Health Education
students are required to do so as a part of the work. The school will
make every effort to prevent injury. First aid assistance is given in
case of injury. The school will not be responsible for doctor's bills in
connection with injury.
ATHLETIC RULES
The State Teachers College at Slippery Rock is a member of the
Pennsylvania State Normal School Athletic Association, and as such

LIBRARY
The library is open during every school day, when students are
permitted to consult works of reference, or take out such works for
a lmite peiio . At certain times each day, students may secure
books for longer periods, limited to two weeks.
New books are added to the library from time to time, and by a
Forty-second
Annual Catalog
41
judicious expenditure of funds, we hope to make this important aid
to the student more valuable each year.
A reading room containing the leading daily and weekly news
papers, magazines, journals of education, church and Sunday school
weeklies, etc., is also connected with the school, privileges free to all.
A children's library under the direction of the assistant librarian
has been established in connection with the Training School.
Murphy Memorial History Library: The class of 1924 gave as its
memorial to the school a history library as a memorial to Dr. D. C.
Murphy. As a result about four hundred books have been added to
the library in the field of history, and a permanent endowment fund
has been created.
Rural School Libraries: A number of collections of books suita
ble for rural schools have been secured and are available for distri
bution among the rural schools of Butler, Lawrence, Beaver and Alle
gheny counties. Application for these libraries should be made to the
Director of Educational Service, State Teachers College, Slippery,
Rock, Pa.
LECTURES
Students should have those opportunities for culture which will
enable them to become stronger intellectually through mental contact
with strong minds of the country. Through the hearty co-operation
of a generous and public spirited community we are able to bring be
fore the students many prominent lecturers.
RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES
There are in Slippery Rock four churches which students are
urged to attend—the Methodist Episcopal, the Presbyterian, the United
Presbyterian, and the Lutheran. Catholic students usually attend
services at Forestville.
Vesper Services. As a state school, religious denominationalism
is barred. Regular vesper services, however, are held at 6:15 each Sun
day evening in the chapel to which all students are invited.
Christian Associations. A Young Women's Christian Association
and a Young Men's Christian Association have been organized. Most
of the young people of the school have identified themselves with these
organizations. Regular devotional meetings are held at 6:45 each
Wednesday evening.
EXTRA-CURRICULA ACTIVITIES
These activities have been organized for the purpose of developing
leadership in school and community life, and worthwhile employment
°f leisure time and recreation.
State Teachers College
42
All students are required to take part in one extra-curricular ac
tivity one semester each year. These organizations have proven inter
esting and helpful to those participating in them. Among the activities
open to selections during the school year 1928-29 were the Art Club,
Baton Club, Dramatic Club, Lidra Club, Open Road C ub, Debating
Club, What-to-Do Club, as well as the various musical and athletic
activities.
MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS
This school offers unusual advantages in both the number and
kind of its musical organizations. Students who have musical ability
along any line have the opportunity to further cultivate and develop
it. The works of only the best composers are used and great emphasis
is laid upon the interpretation of these works. There are no charges
for membership in these organizations, but regular attendance is required.
The choir is composed of mixed voices and furnishes the music
for the Sunday vesper services in the chapel. Realizing the increasing
importance churches are giving to this part of their service, we hold
a high standard for the music of our vesper service.
The girls' chorus is open to girl students. This organization takes
up the study of some of the best choruses and cantatas arranged for
female voices.
The men's glee club was organized during the winter of 1925-26.
The club is open to male students who read music and are able to
sing sufficiently well to do work of this type. This has been one of
the popular musical organizations of the school during the past few
years.
The school orchestra is open to students who can read and play
well difficult music. It gives concerts during the year, and assists on
special occasions throughout the year.
The band is open to students who can read band music reasonably
well. Regular attendance is required at the weekly rehearsals.
MEMORIAL FUNDS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
Through the kindness of Mr. J. V. Ritts,
six one hundred dollar scholarships are available each year for residents
of Butler County who could not otherwise attend the State Teachers
College at Slippery Rock. Applications for these scholarships must
have the recommendation of a business man, a high school principal
and the county or district superintendent of schools, in addition to

Memorial of the Class of 1925. The class of 1925 has created a
loan fund for students attending the State Teachers College at Slip
pery Rock. This fund is approximately $1,500. Loans will be granted
upon proper recommendation to students who are attending school.
Memorial of the Class of 1926. The class of 1926 created a fund
similar to that of the class of 1925. The amount subscribed and paid
was about $800. The administration of the fund is handled in the
same manner as that of the class of 1925.
Memorial of the Class of 1927. A fund similar to the above was
subscribed by the members of the class of 1927, and about $1,000 was
paid. Its administration is along the same lines as the funds of the
other classes.
Application for any of the above funds should be made to the
President.
State Scholarships. Since the State Council of Education has
authorized the State Teachers College at Slippery Rock to grant the
degree of Bachelor of Science in Education, the Department of Public
Instruction has ruled that holders of State Scholarships may attend
this school, provided they take courses leading to a degree.
Alumni Student Aid Fund. The alumni and friends of the school
have established a fund for the purpose of aiding students to obtain
an education in this school. Each application for a loan shall be signed
by three reputable persons, one of whom shall be a member of the
Alumni Association. A committee of alumni is in charge of the fund,
and inquiries concerning it should be addressed to Mr. C. C. Ruff,
Slippery Rock, Pa.
Student Self-Help Scholarships. Self-help scholarships, equivalent
to $5.00 per week toward the payment of dormitory expenses, are
awarded to desirable young men and young women for services at the
school. This service requires about twenty hours of work per week
in the dining room, pantry, or other duties about the buildings and
grounds. Several vacancies exist in this department each year.
Students will not be assigned to self-help scholarships during the
teaching semester of the senior year. Students holding these scholar
ships will be allowed .to go home only once each semester. The con
tinuance of the scholarships will depend upon satisfactory work both
in service and in the classroom.

PRIVATE MUSIC LESSONS
More and more we are impressed with the importance of knowl
edge of music in connection with school work. Work in music ap
preciation is given weekly at chapel, and community singing is en
couraged. Opportunity for individual instruction in music is offered
in piano, voice, pipe organ, violin, harmony and musical history.
Classes in piano were organized during the past year and they
proved popular and helpful to those who had not time to take the
regular piano instruction.
Special arrangement has been made by the college for private
teachers in piano, violin, voice and pipe organ at the following rates:

These charges are on the basis of one eighteen week semester.
Lessons are paid for by the term. In case of illness or necessary
discontinuance of lessons, lessons are charged at the rate of $1.50 each.
ROOMS
Each room is 13x15 feet in size, carpeted, and contains bed, mat
tress and springs; wardrobe, washstand, table and usual room furni
ture; intended to accommodate two students. Sheets, cover-lids, and
one pair of blankets are furnished by the school, extra blankets to be
furnished by the student. The general tone of the building is brown.
All students are to take rooms and board at the institution, un
less they reside at home, or have obtained permission from the Presi
dent to board elsewhere.
Students are expected to provide themselves with window cur
tains, towels, table napkins, soap, and needful toilet articles.
Students in actual attendance at the close of one term are en
titled to preference in the choice of rooms for the next term. All
other students are entitled to choice of rooms in order of their appli
cations.
Laundry work, including ironing, not to exceed twelve plain
pieces per week, will be done by the school. Extra work will be charged
at a reasonable rate. Great care is exercised in handling the laundry of
the students, but the school will not be responsible for loss or damage.
Articles should be plainly marked with the number assigned at time
of enrollment.
EXTENSION COURSES
Another opportunity to advance their education has been placed
before the teachers of our service era. The Curricula Revision Com
mittee has made certain rulings regulating both the offering of this
work and its acceptance for credit.
Extension credits earned after September 1, 1927, cannot be used
as credit towards the completion of the two year course. A maximum
of eighteen semester hours may be credited however towards the re
quirements of the third and fourth years in a degree curriculum, and
this may be limited entirely to the courses specified below:
American Literature
2 semester hours
History of Education
3 semester hours
American Government
3 semester hours
Teaching and Supervision of Arithmetic
in Elementary Schools
3 semester hours
Civic Education in Elementary Schools 3 semester hours
History and Organization of Education
in Pennsylvania
2 semester hours
Educational Psychology
3 semester hours
Supervision and Administration of Ele
mentary Schools
3 semester hours
The regular members of the faculty will teach the extension
courses. A fee of five dollars is charged for each semester hour credit.
Classes will be organized within our service area where a sufficient
number of applicants request this work.
SUMMER SCHOOL
The summer school at the State Teachers College at Slippery
Rock will be held June 16 to July 26, 1930. The purpose of the
summer school is to meet the needs of teachers who wish to improve
their professional standing and students who wish to secure a itiona
credits on their regular courses. Special advanced work is provi e
for those who are normal school graduates and who desire to com
plete their work to secure their degree.
50
State Teachers College
Expenses. The registration fee will be $15.00. Room and board,
including laundry, can be obtained in the dormitories for the regular
price of $8.00 per week. Tuition in the music department will be
on the same basis as during the regular school year. For detailed sum
mer bulletin, send inquiry to the Dean of Instruction.
REGULATIONS FOR STUDENTS
The discipline of the school is made as simple as possible. Selfcontrol is the ideal sought. Students are expected to do without
compulsion what is required, and to refrain voluntarily from all im
proprieties of conduct. The intelligent conception of duty and quick
ened conscience will generally result in a cheerful voluntary obedience.
That government is best that seems to govern least.
Regular attendance, good behavior, and hearty allegiance to all
the interests of the school are expected of each member of the student
body.
1. The bell announces the study hour at 7:30 o'clock. Each
student is pledged to be in his or her room at work at that hour.
At 10 p. m. all lights will be out and the buildings quiet.
2. Due to the crowded condition of the dormitories, visitors
can be accommodated only during the week ends. In case of
visitors coming at other times, arrangements should be made
in advance with the dean.
3. Guests—Students are permitted to have guests in the
dormitory under the following conditions:
(1) Meals in the dining room, 40 and 50 cents. Lodging,
when rooms are available, 50 cents.
(2) All guests will conform to the rules of the school.
4. Recreation—When weather is suitable students are per
mitted to enjoy the natural beauties of the country under
proper chaperonage.
Optional activities are provided after dinner until 7:15
o'clock.
5. All students are required to be present at all devotional
and general exercises in the chapel, unless excused. Attendance
at religious services Sabbath is urged and expected.
6. Students are urged to remain at the school during the
wee t ends. Permission to go home will not be granted except
^n*i^m^erat^Ve cafes* Students who are failing in their work
will not be permitted to be away over week ends.
^\ # Tta dining room is under the direction of a trained
letitian. Abundance of good nourishing food is served. Pa
Forty-second Annual Catalog
51
rents will please not send boxes containing eatables, especially
cake and sweets, to students while in attendance at school. No
objection is raised to sending fruit.
8. Students will not be called from class to answer tele
phone calls. Important messages will be delivered to students.
9 . Students are required to take up enough studies to keep
them, in the judgment of the President, sufficiently employed,
but are not permitted to take up more than they can study
with profit.
10. Each student of instrumental music will have regular
hours assigned for practice, during which time no spectator
can be present to interrupt the exercises or divert the attention.
11. Young men will not be permitted to call upon the
young women students without permission.
12. Disorderly conduct in the buildings is prohibited. Each
student will be held responsible for any disturbance in or dam
age to his room.
13. Students whose sense of honor and propriety cannot be
trusted will be summarily dismissed. They will also be sent
away whenever, in the opinion of the faculty, it is evident that
they are pursuing a course of conduct detrimental to them
selves and to the institution.
VISITORS AND VISITING
Calls on students at other times than during the hours of recrea
tion interfere seriously with the object of the school, and are not
allowed except in the case of necessity. Persons desiring to visit the
school are invited to do so at any time.
Every absence from school duty substracts materially from the
progress of the student. Frequent visits home or elsewhere prevent
the concentration of thought which true success demands. Parents
are earnestly requested not to take the students away from their school
duties unless it is absolutely necessary. Students are not permitted to
visit home or be away from town without special permission from
the deans.
ISSUANCE OF CREDITS
Copy of credits secured at State Teachers College at Slippery
Rock will be issued free of charge upon approved training certificates
or regular forms of colleges and universities where these credits may be
used. A charge of $1.00 is made where a second copy of credits is
requested for use at another college or a university. Official copy^ of
credits will be sent only to the State Department for use in securing
certificate, or to the institution to which credit is to be transferred.

APPLICATIONS FOR TEACHERS
School directors and principals often apply to us for teachers.
We are always pleased to answer such requests by furnishing good
teachers, but we are better able to do so near the close of each school
year than at any other time. Wliile the school aids its graduates to
secure positions, it makes no promises to do so. It may be said, how
ever, that for several years we have been unable to supply the de
mands made upon us for graduates to fill positions in various grades
of schools. The Director of the Training School has been appointed
head of the Teacher Placement Bureau. Superintendents and directors
desiring teachers should apply to him either by letter or in person.
Great care is exercised by the faculty in recommending graduates for
positions.
It must not be supposed that all persons who attend our school
for one or more terms are good teachers. The graduates of the school
are almost invariably successful instructors and disciplinarians.
MAIL, TELEPHONE, EXPRESS
The school has three mails daily. Mail matter should be addressed:
Slippery Rock, Butler County, Pa. The words 'State Teachers College"
on an envelope or package will aid in its delivery, and may prevent it
from being sent to the wrong post-office.
The college is connected by telephone with nearly all parts of
western and central Pennsylvania. Students will not be called to the
telephone during study hours. Messages will be delivered if necessary.
Express packages should be addressed: Harrisville Station, State
Teachers College, Slippery Rock, Pa.
For further information address the registrar of the school.

LOCATION
The State Teachers College at Slippery Rock is located on the
William Flinn Highway between Pittsburgh and Erie in Butler County.
The location of the school is pleasant and healthful. Slippery Rock
is a small but progressive town and being within a twenty mile radius
of Butler, New Castle, Grove City, Mercer, and Ellwood City, it is
easily accessible from all directions. Slippery Rock is located at the
intersection of the improved roads from Pittsburgh to Erie, and from
New Castle to Franklin. These roads are kept in good condition all
the year.
The school may be reached by train from Pittsburgh and Erie via
the B. & O. and the B. & L. E. trains to Harrisville Station, four
miles distant. Those coming from Pittsburgh may take the Butler
Short Line or the Harmony Line to Butler, or may come by way of
New Castle on the Pennsylvania R. R. or the Pittsburgh and Lake
Erie R. R. There is good bus service from both these points to Slip
pery Rock. There is also good bus service from Grove City, Franklin,
and points north.

HISTORY
J. C. WERNER, A.B., M.A.
The organization of Slippery Rock State Normal School grew out
of a desire of the people of the town and surrounding community to
have a school in their midst in which their children could secure an
education without leaving their homes. With this end in view a plan
was formed, in the fall of 1887, for the erection of a building suitable
for an academy and for providing funds for the support of the school
until it should become self-sustaining. During this stage of the effort,
it was discovered that no normal school had been established in this,
the Eleventh District. At once the scope of their efforts was widened
to include the larger enterprise and stock was sold to the amount of
$20,000. During the summer of 1888 and following winter, land
was procured and three frame buildings were erected—a chapel con
taining recitation rooms, and two dormitories.
Application was made to the Department of Public Instruction
for the approval of the buildings and the establishment of a state
normal school for this district. The first day of February, 1889, was

set as the date for the inspection of the buildings and on that day
the committee of the state met and approved the application.
The necessary steps were taken toward the organization of the
school and the first term opened on March 26, 1889, with an enroll
ment of 168 students. The first class, consisting of eleven members,
was graduated in 1890.
On June 4, 1926, the State Council of Education authorized the
State Normal School to offer degrees of Bachelor of Science, in Health
Education, in Elementary Education and in Junior High School
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 growth of the school has been rapid along all lines. The
enlarged field of service opened up to the State Teachers College will
enable the school to move forward with the educational progress of
Pennsylvania. The policy of those in charge has always been to keep
prominently in view the purpose for which it was established—thetraining of teachers for the public schools of the state.
CAMPUS, BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT
The Campus. The campus of the State Teachers College com
prises about fifty-seven
acres. The part of the campus immediately
surrounding the buildings borders on the William Flinn Highway. It
has been well laid out with drives and walks, and the location of
the buildings makes it one of the most beautiful campuses in Western
Pennsylvania.
Main Building. The Main Building contains classrooms, the library
and reading room, the administration offices, and the supply room.
The basement has been made into modern laboratories for science
work. On the third floor, the Secondary Department of the Training
School is housed with its own chapel and offices. Every effort has
been made to keep this building and its equipment up-to-date.
North Hall. North Hall is a beautiful, home-like building, with
a frontage of two hundred feet. In addition to the living quarters of
a large number of women students, and the infirmary, it contains the
President's apartment, a recently enlarged dining room with a seating
capacity of 560 persons, the kitchens and pantries.
South Hall. In the fall of 1924, girls were assigned to South
Hall, located on the southern end of the campus and formerly the
men's dormitory. Like North Hall, this building is equipped with all
modern conveniences and the rooms are comfortably furnished.

Chapel. The chapel is a fine stone building 89 x 100 feet, of
Norman-French architecture. It is situated between North and South
Halls. It has a seating capacity of seven hundred persons and a gallery
with three hundred additional seats. This building contains a splendid
pipe organ, the use of which adds much to the daily chapel exercises.
Gymnasium and Music Hall. The gymnasium is a modern build
ing, well equipped to meet the requirements of the health education
course which we offer. Locker rooms have been installed which will
add greatly to the convenience of students. In addition to the gym
nasium floor, this building contains studios and practice rooms for
music students. Plans have been approved for a new gymnasium at
the State Teachers College, Slippery Rock, Pa. This building will
mean much for the efficiency of the Health Education Department.
It will contain lockers, adequate showers, and a large swimming pool,
and will be ready for use sometime during the year 1930-1931.
Training School. This building adds much to our facilities dur
ing the school year.
Located directly on the campus, the practice
school does not interfere with the regular school work. The rooms
are adapted to separate grades, and children from the kindergarten
through the junior high school are cared for in this building. The
sum of $125,000 has been appropriated for building the first unit of
a new Training School at Slippery Rock. This new building will
house the kindergarten and the first six grades. It will be ready for
occupancy in the fall of 1930. Until the second unit is completed,
the senior-junior high school will occupy the present training school.
Men's Quarters. Since placing girls in South Hall, the men have
been cared for in various houses on and near the campus. These
houses are all equipped with electric light, steam heat and modern
conveniences. The men take their meals in the dining room in North
Hall.
Other Buildings. In addition to the above buildings, the school
maintains its own power plant, laundry, bake shop, repair shop and
garage, each of which is housed separately.

SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTS
FOR ADMISSION
Adopted by the
Board of Normal School Principals
Admission to a State Teachers College shall be on the basis of
graduation from an approved four-year high school, or equivalent
training in an approved private secondary school.
Graduates of senior high schools in a school district maintaining
an approved junior high school organization will be admitted on evi
dence of twelve units of preparation earned in grades 10, 11 and 12.
A unit represents not less than 120 sixty-minute periods of pre
pared work or the equivalent.
Graduates of approved two-year high schools are entitled to not
more than eight units of credit and graduates of approved three-year
high schools to not more than twelve units of credit toward the stand
ard admission requirement; provided, however, that such students, or
other students having irregular entrance qualifications, may take exam
inations in additional subjects taken in course in county superin
tendents' offices in all counties having such students, at the close of
the school year. These examinations will be given under the direction
of the Credentials Bureau of the Department of Public Instruction,
under a cooperative plan adopted by the Board of Normal School Prin
cipals, January 15, 1926. In case of failure in a subject, or subjects,
the student, after additional study during the summer, may take a
second examination in August at one of the State Teachers Colleges
or at any one of the centers where state examinations are regularly
conducted, namely Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, and Scranton.
Under this arrangement students who complete the work of a
four-year high school with a three-year rating may take examinations
in fourth-year subjects and thereby receive credit equivalent to that
of a four-year high school; graduates of three-year high schools with
a two-year rating may take examinations in third-year subjects for a
T ij Vn t^,rfe years
approved high school work. All inquiries
should be addressed to the Credentials Bureau, Department of Public
Instruction, Harrisburg, Pa.
Credentials of all students entering the state teachers college on
the basis of an approved four-year preparation shall be received and
Forty-second Annual Catalog
23
evaluated by the college; students not having an approved four-year
preparation or students whose preparation is irregular, shall have their
credentials evaluated by the Credentials Bureau of the Department of
Public Instruction.
Graduates of approved four-year high schools or of equivalent
private secondary schools who desire admission to a State Teachers
College without examination must present a detailed statement of all
studies pursued, including the time devoted to such studies, and the
grades received. Blanks for such purposes may be secured from the
State Teachers College. These blanks should be filled out by the
principal of the school which the student attended, or where this is
impossible, by the local superintendent of schools.
Advanced credit will be given for equivalent courses in approved
institutions of collegiate grade, but no students may obtain a certifi
cate of graduation without a minimum residence of one year. (Teach
ers who have been granted credit for experience may finish with a
minimum residence of one-half year).
The usual health certificate required by law for the certification
of teachers shall be presented by all applicants for admission. Appli
cants disqualified, by reason of physical defects, from the successful
performance of the duties of a teacher will not be admitted.
All applicants for admission shall present evidence of good moral
character and ideals characteristic of the teaching service.
No candidate for a college certificate shall receive more than
twenty semester hours of credit toward graduation for work done in
extension classes or by correspondence.
CURRICULA OF THE STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE AT SLIPPERY ROCK
STUDENTS MUST SELECT ONE OF SIX CURRICULA
The curricula that are offered to students have been organized
upon the principle that teaching in the elementary schools can be
classified into sufficiently definite types to require specialization.
The two-year courses are divided into four semesters. The work
of the first semester is the same for all students. A large purpose of
the work of the first semester is to acquaint students with the re
quirements for successful teaching in the different grades so that they
may be able to decide intelligently in what grade or grades they prefer
to teach. The course entitled "Introduction to Teaching," which in
cludes observation and participation in the training school, is especially
designed to aid students in a wise selection of a curriculum.
o4
State Teachers College
^ "At the end of the first semester students are asked to select one
of the curricula for the purpose of specializing in a specific field of
teaching. The work of each curriculum must be completed in its
entirety. Students may be granted the privilege of changing from
one curriculum to another only on condition that the prescribed courses
of any curriculum so selected must be completed before a certificate
of graduation is granted.
The State Teachers College at Slippery Rock has been authorized
by the State Council of Education to offer two four-year courses lead
ing to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education, and a four-year
course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Health Education.
High school graduates wishing to complete the four-year elemen
tary or the four-year junior high school course should reach this con
clusion before entering school. The arrangement of the work makes
this necessary.

Forty-second Annual Catalog
3.

All students, before receiving a final
grade in
English or Arithmetic, must equal eighth grade
standards of achievement in these subjects.
Note: The preceding are supplementary to the entrance requirements of gradua
tion from a four-year high school with at least sixteen Carnegie units of work.
Students will not be permitted to carry more than three hours of extra elective work
during any semester.
STANDARD FOR GRADUATION
The State Teachers College at Slippery Rock offers to young men
and women an opportunity to prepare for the teaching profession.
With this purpose in mind, the faculty has adopted a system which
eliminates those who either are not earnestly endeavoring to make the
most of the privilege offered them by the State of Pennsylvania, or
who do not have the qualities deemed necessary to make successful
teachers for the public schools. Students are notified at regular in
tervals of poor work in their classes, and full reports are given to
them at the middle and end of each semester. Reports are sent to
the parents at the close of each semester, but they may have midsemester reports at any time upon receipt of request.
The following system of marking and standard of graduation has
been adopted by the faculty:
1.
Point system as follows:
Each credit hour with a grade of A counts three points.
Each credit hour with a grade of B counts two points.
Each credit hour with a grade of C counts one point.
Only those students shall be deemed worthy of graduation whose
total points equal in number the credit hours required for graduation.
This insures that a student in order to graduate must have an average
standing for his whole course of not less than C.
2. Any student who at the end of his first semester receives as
many as two-thirds of the number of hours on his program with grades
of F and D shall be automatically suspended from the privileges of
the school. Such students will be permitted to return not earlier than
a year from their first registration and will be required to repeat the
work of the semester with the exception of the subjects in which they
received grades of A, B, or C.
Further, any student who at the end of any other semester re
ceives as many as one-half of the number of hours on his program
with grades of F and D shall be automatically suspended from the
privileges of the school for at least one full semester. Such students
will be allowed to return after one full semester, and will be required
State Teachers College
26
to repeat all subjects in which, during their preceding semester, they
received either F or D.
The above is based upon the marking system as follows:
A—excellent
B—good
C—satisfactory
D—credit
F—unsatisfactory
No percentage value has been attached to these letters.

PREPARATION OF TEACHERS FOR THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Elective Fields for Prospective Junior High School Teachers
The Board of Normal School Principals believes that the time has
come to abandon the attempt to prepare teachers for the junior high
schools in less than four years of post-high school work. The follow
ing courses are prescribed in a four-year junior high school curriculum:
The person who is to teach successfully in the junior high school
must have, in addition to what has been prescribed, a special prepara
tion in at least two fields. A third field, in which less preparation is
possible, is also desirable. Electives in five fields are provided.

TRAINING SCHOOL
At Slippery Rock, all of the children of the local community are
enrolled in the training school, including the kindergarten, elementa
ry grades from 1 to 6, junior high school and senior high school. Junior
and senior high school students from the surrounding school districts
are admitted to grade nine of the junior high school and to the senior
high school upon the payment monthly in advance of tuition, amount
determined by law, not to exceed $12.00 per month, to the local school
board of Slippery Rock. Students from the surrounding district may
be admitted to the elementary grades by proper arrangement with the
local board and the director of the training school.
Arrangement has been made to establish branch training schools
at New Castle, Coraopolis and Turtle Creek. The school at New Cas-
Forty-second

tie has been in operation for six years. For rural school teachers, train
ing school relations have been established with rural school districts
in Butler and Lawrence counties.
Each of the branch training schools is under direct supervision of
the county or district superintendent of schools and the director of the
Slippery Rock training school.
Since our practice school is a regular county school, the value of
the year's experience thus gained by seniors cannot be over-estimated.
GENERAL INFORMATION
ATHLETICS
Athletic sports are encouraged as a means of pleasant recreation,
for their value in developing the body, as a source of social and ethical
culture, and to cultivate the spirit of co-operative enterprise so essen
tial to individuals throughout life. When athletics are so managed as
to develop determination, courage, self-reliance, obedience, and quick
ness of decision, there is much to be urged in their favor. Tennis,
hockey, basketball, baseball, and football are the games most in use.
Teams representing the school as well as the various classes are chosen
in all the major sports and are conditioned and trained by the coach
and director of athletics.
Athletics are not confined to boys only, as is the case in so
many schools, but the girls are encouraged to participate in all sports,
and have the advantage of coaching and direction of those in charge
of this work.
Students are encouraged to enter athletics. Health Education
students are required to do so as a part of the work. The school will
make every effort to prevent injury. First aid assistance is given in
case of injury. The school will not be responsible for doctor's bills in
connection with injury.
ATHLETIC RULES
The State Teachers College at Slippery Rock is a member of the
Pennsylvania State Normal School Athletic Association, and as such
will observe the following eligibility rules in connection with inter

Forty-second

judicious expenditure of funds, we hope to make this important aid
to the student more valuable each year.
A reading room containing the leading daily and weekly news
papers, magazines, journals of education, church and Sunday school
weeklies, etc., is also connected with the school, privileges free to all.
A children's library under the direction of the assistant librarian
has been established in connection with the Training School.
Murphy Memorial History Library: The class of 1924 gave as its
memorial to the school a history library as a memorial to Dr. D. C.
Murphy. As a result about four hundred books have been added to
the library in the field of history, and a permanent endowment fund
has been created.
Rural School Libraries: A number of collections of books suita
ble for rural schools have been secured and are available for distri
bution among the rural schools of Butler, Lawrence, Beaver and Alle
gheny counties. Application for these libraries should be made to the
Director of Educational Service, State Teachers College, Slippery,
Rock, Pa.
LECTURES
Students should have those opportunities for culture which will
enable them to become stronger intellectually through mental contact
with strong minds of the country. Through the hearty co-operation
of a generous and public spirited community we are able to bring be
fore the students many prominent lecturers.
RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES
There are in Slippery Rock four churches which students are
urged to attend—the Methodist Episcopal, the Presbyterian, the United
Presbyterian, and the Lutheran. Catholic students usually attend
services at Forestville.
Vesper Services. As a state school, religious denominationalism
is barred. Regular vesper services, however, are held at 6:15 each Sun
day evening in the chapel to which all students are invited.
Christian Associations. A Young Women's Christian Association
and a Young Men's Christian Association have been organized. Most
of the young people of the school have identified themselves with these
organizations. Regular devotional meetings are held at 6:45 each
Wednesday evening.
EXTRA-CURRICULA ACTIVITIES
These activities have been organized for the purpose of developing
leadership in school and community life, and worthwhile employment
°f leisure time and recreation.
State Teachers College
42
All students are required to take part in one extra-curricular ac
tivity one semester each year. These organizations have proven inter
esting and helpful to those participating in them. Among the activities
open to selections during the school year 1928-29 were the Art Club,
Baton Club, Dramatic Club, Lidra Club, Open Road C ub, Debating
Club, What-to-Do Club, as well as the various musical and athletic
activities.
MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS
This school offers unusual advantages in both the number and
kind of its musical organizations. Students who have musical ability
along any line have the opportunity to further cultivate and develop
it. The works of only the best composers are used and great emphasis
is laid upon the interpretation of these works. There are no charges
for membership in these organizations, but regular attendance is required.
The choir is composed of mixed voices and furnishes the music
for the Sunday vesper services in the chapel. Realizing the increasing
importance churches are giving to this part of their service, we hold
a high standard for the music of our vesper service.
The girls' chorus is open to girl students. This organization takes
up the study of some of the best choruses and cantatas arranged for
female voices.
The men's glee club was organized during the winter of 1925-26.
The club is open to male students who read music and are able to
sing sufficiently well to do work of this type. This has been one of
the popular musical organizations of the school during the past few
years.
The school orchestra is open to students who can read and play
well difficult music. It gives concerts during the year, and assists on
special occasions throughout the year.
The band is open to students who can read band music reasonably
well. Regular attendance is required at the weekly rehearsals.
MEMORIAL FUNDS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
Through the kindness of Mr. J. V. Ritts,
six one hundred dollar scholarships are available each year for residents
of Butler County who could not otherwise attend the State Teachers
College at Slippery Rock. Applications for these scholarships must
have the recommendation of a business man, a high school principal
and the county or district superintendent of schools, in addition to
meeting the regular entrance requirements of the college. Applica

Memorial of the Class of 1925. The class of 1925 has created a
loan fund for students attending the State Teachers College at Slip
pery Rock. This fund is approximately $1,500. Loans will be granted
upon proper recommendation to students who are attending school.
Memorial of the Class of 1926. The class of 1926 created a fund
similar to that of the class of 1925. The amount subscribed and paid
was about $800. The administration of the fund is handled in the
same manner as that of the class of 1925.
Memorial of the Class of 1927. A fund similar to the above was
subscribed by the members of the class of 1927, and about $1,000 was
paid. Its administration is along the same lines as the funds of the
other classes.
Application for any of the above funds should be made to the
President.
State Scholarships. Since the State Council of Education has
authorized the State Teachers College at Slippery Rock to grant the
degree of Bachelor of Science in Education, the Department of Public
Instruction has ruled that holders of State Scholarships may attend
this school, provided they take courses leading to a degree.
Alumni Student Aid Fund. The alumni and friends of the school
have established a fund for the purpose of aiding students to obtain
an education in this school. Each application for a loan shall be signed
by three reputable persons, one of whom shall be a member of the
Alumni Association. A committee of alumni is in charge of the fund,
and inquiries concerning it should be addressed to Mr. C. C. Ruff,
Slippery Rock, Pa.
Student Self-Help Scholarships. Self-help scholarships, equivalent
to $5.00 per week toward the payment of dormitory expenses, are
awarded to desirable young men and young women for services at the
school. This service requires about twenty hours of work per week
in the dining room, pantry, or other duties about the buildings and
grounds. Several vacancies exist in this department each year.
Students will not be assigned to self-help scholarships during the
teaching semester of the senior year. Students holding these scholar
ships will be allowed .to go home only once each semester. The con
tinuance of the scholarships will depend upon satisfactory work both
in service and in the classroom.

PRIVATE MUSIC LESSONS
More and more we are impressed with the importance of knowl
edge of music in connection with school work. Work in music ap
preciation is given weekly at chapel, and community singing is en
couraged. Opportunity for individual instruction in music is offered
in piano, voice, pipe organ, violin, harmony and musical history.
Classes in piano were organized during the past year and they
proved popular and helpful to those who had not time to take the
regular piano instruction.
Special arrangement has been made by the college for private
teachers in piano, violin, voice and pipe organ at the following rates:
CHARGES FOR MUSIC INSTRUCTION

One lesson per week (J4 hr.)
Two lessons per week (*/£ hr.)

These charges are on the basis of one eighteen week semester.
Lessons are paid for by the term. In case of illness or necessary
discontinuance of lessons, lessons are charged at the rate of $1.50 each.
ROOMS
Each room is 13x15 feet in size, carpeted, and contains bed, mat
tress and springs; wardrobe, washstand, table and usual room furni
ture; intended to accommodate two students. Sheets, cover-lids, and
one pair of blankets are furnished by the school, extra blankets to be
furnished by the student. The general tone of the building is brown.
All students are to take rooms and board at the institution, un
less they reside at home, or have obtained permission from the Presi
dent to board elsewhere.
Students are expected to provide themselves with window cur
tains, towels, table napkins, soap, and needful toilet articles.
Students in actual attendance at the close of one term are en
titled to preference in the choice of rooms for the next term. All
other students are entitled to choice of rooms in order of their appli
cations.
Laundry work, including ironing, not to exceed twelve plain
pieces per week, will be done by the school. Extra work will be charged
at a reasonable rate. Great care is exercised in handling the laundry of
the students, but the school will not be responsible for loss or damage.
Articles should be plainly marked with the number assigned at time
of enrollment.
EXTENSION COURSES
Another opportunity to advance their education has been placed
before the teachers of our service era. The Curricula Revision Com
mittee has made certain rulings regulating both the offering of this
work and its acceptance for credit.
Extension credits earned after September 1, 1927, cannot be used
as credit towards the completion of the two year course. A maximum
of eighteen semester hours may be credited however towards the re
quirements of the third and fourth years in a degree curriculum, and
this may be limited entirely to the courses specified below:
American Literature
2 semester hours
History of Education
3 semester hours
American Government
3 semester hours
Teaching and Supervision of Arithmetic
in Elementary Schools
3 semester hours
Civic Education in Elementary Schools 3 semester hours
History and Organization of Education
in Pennsylvania
2 semester hours
Educational Psychology
3 semester hours
Supervision and Administration of Ele
mentary Schools
3 semester hours
The regular members of the faculty will teach the extension
courses. A fee of five dollars is charged for each semester hour credit.
Classes will be organized within our service area where a sufficient
number of applicants request this work.
SUMMER SCHOOL
The summer school at the State Teachers College at Slippery
Rock will be held June 16 to July 26, 1930. The purpose of the
summer school is to meet the needs of teachers who wish to improve
their professional standing and students who wish to secure a itiona
credits on their regular courses. Special advanced work is provi e
for those who are normal school graduates and who desire to com
plete their work to secure their degree.

State Teachers College
Expenses. The registration fee will be $15.00. Room and board,
including laundry, can be obtained in the dormitories for the regular
price of $8.00 per week. Tuition in the music department will be
on the same basis as during the regular school year. For detailed sum
mer bulletin, send inquiry to the Dean of Instruction.
REGULATIONS FOR STUDENTS
The discipline of the school is made as simple as possible. Selfcontrol is the ideal sought. Students are expected to do without
compulsion what is required, and to refrain voluntarily from all im
proprieties of conduct. The intelligent conception of duty and quick
ened conscience will generally result in a cheerful voluntary obedience.
That government is best that seems to govern least.
Regular attendance, good behavior, and hearty allegiance to all
the interests of the school are expected of each member of the student
body.
1. The bell announces the study hour at 7:30 o'clock. Each
student is pledged to be in his or her room at work at that hour.
At 10 p. m. all lights will be out and the buildings quiet.
2. Due to the crowded condition of the dormitories, visitors
can be accommodated only during the week ends. In case of
visitors coming at other times, arrangements should be made
in advance with the dean.
3. Guests—Students are permitted to have guests in the
dormitory under the following conditions:
(1) Meals in the dining room, 40 and 50 cents. Lodging,
when rooms are available, 50 cents.
(2) All guests will conform to the rules of the school.
4. Recreation—When weather is suitable students are per
mitted to enjoy the natural beauties of the country under
proper chaperonage.
Optional activities are provided after dinner until 7:15
o'clock.
5. All students are required to be present at all devotional
and general exercises in the chapel, unless excused. Attendance
at religious services Sabbath is urged and expected.
6. Students are urged to remain at the school during the
wee t ends. Permission to go home will not be granted except
^n*i^m^erat^Ve cafes* Students who are failing in their work
will not be permitted to be away over week ends.
^\ # Tta dining room is under the direction of a trained
letitian. Abundance of good nourishing food is served. Pa
Forty-second Annual Catalog

rents will please not send boxes containing eatables, especially
cake and sweets, to students while in attendance at school. No
objection is raised to sending fruit.
8. Students will not be called from class to answer tele
phone calls. Important messages will be delivered to students.
9 . Students are required to take up enough studies to keep
them, in the judgment of the President, sufficiently employed,
but are not permitted to take up more than they can study
with profit.
10. Each student of instrumental music will have regular
hours assigned for practice, during which time no spectator
can be present to interrupt the exercises or divert the attention.
11. Young men will not be permitted to call upon the
young women students without permission.
12. Disorderly conduct in the buildings is prohibited. Each
student will be held responsible for any disturbance in or dam
age to his room.
13. Students whose sense of honor and propriety cannot be
trusted will be summarily dismissed. They will also be sent
away whenever, in the opinion of the faculty, it is evident that
they are pursuing a course of conduct detrimental to them
selves and to the institution.
VISITORS AND VISITING
Calls on students at other times than during the hours of recrea
tion interfere seriously with the object of the school, and are not
allowed except in the case of necessity. Persons desiring to visit the
school are invited to do so at any time.
Every absence from school duty substracts materially from the
progress of the student. Frequent visits home or elsewhere prevent
the concentration of thought which true success demands. Parents
are earnestly requested not to take the students away from their school
duties unless it is absolutely necessary. Students are not permitted to
visit home or be away from town without special permission from
the deans.
ISSUANCE OF CREDITS
Copy of credits secured at State Teachers College at Slippery
Rock will be issued free of charge upon approved training certificates
or regular forms of colleges and universities where these credits may be
used. A charge of $1.00 is made where a second copy of credits is
requested for use at another college or a university. Official copy^ of
credits will be sent only to the State Department for use in securing
certificate, or to the institution to which credit is to be transferred.

APPLICATIONS FOR TEACHERS
School directors and principals often apply to us for teachers.
We are always pleased to answer such requests by furnishing good
teachers, but we are better able to do so near the close of each school
year than at any other time. Wliile the school aids its graduates to
secure positions, it makes no promises to do so. It may be said, how
ever, that for several years we have been unable to supply the de
mands made upon us for graduates to fill positions in various grades
of schools. The Director of the Training School has been appointed
head of the Teacher Placement Bureau. Superintendents and directors
desiring teachers should apply to him either by letter or in person.
Great care is exercised by the faculty in recommending graduates for
positions.
It must not be supposed that all persons who attend our school
for one or more terms are good teachers. The graduates of the school
are almost invariably successful instructors and disciplinarians.
MAIL, TELEPHONE, EXPRESS
The school has three mails daily. Mail matter should be addressed:
Slippery Rock, Butler County, Pa. The words 'State Teachers College"
on an envelope or package will aid in its delivery, and may prevent it
from being sent to the wrong post-office.
The college is connected by telephone with nearly all parts of
western and central Pennsylvania. Students will not be called to the
telephone during study hours. Messages will be delivered if necessary.
Express packages should be addressed: Harrisville Station, State
Teachers College, Slippery Rock, Pa.
For further information address the registrar of the school.
