10 STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE
PURPOSE OF THE COLLEGE
The first two years give a broad cultural foundation. The class work and social life of the college aim to develop responsi- bility, poise, assurance, and independence. A well-trained teaching staff seeks to inculcate high ideals of teaching and strives to evolve a sound philosophy of education as well as a thorough familiarity with the best public school teaching, in the Training School.
LOCATION
The college is situated in Clarion, Clarion County, one of the most beautiful spots among the hills of Western Pennsylvania. The town has a population of about 3,200 and is one of the most attractive towns in the State. Its streets are wide and shaded with magnificent trees; its lawns are beautiful; its air is clear and in- vigorating; its surroundings are pleasant and healthgiving. Clarion is situated upon a plateau overlooking the Clarion River. The College lies upon a slight elevation in the eastern part of the town. Clarion County lies at the junction of the coal, oil, and gas fields and is therefore surrounded by industrial areas of a very diversified character, thus facilitating study of industry without the necessity of living in the grime of it.

REGULATIONS REGARDING CHARGES AT THE STATE TEACHERS COLLEGES
At a meeting of the Board of Presidents it was recommended that the charges of the State Teachers Colleges of the Common- wealth be uniform. This recommendation was subsequently ap- proved by the several Boards of Trustees and the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
The regulations regarding the charges are as follows:

A Contingent Fee, amounting to seventy-two dollars for the regular year of thirty-six weeks or thirty-six dollars for 'each semester of eighteen weeks, shall be charged to cover regis- tration and keeping of records of students, library, student welfare, health service (other than extra nurse and quaran- tine), and laboratory facilities. Check for this amount must be drawn to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The charge shall be five dollars for each semester hour of off-campus instruction. The same regulation applies to stu- dents carrying seven or less semester hours on the campus. The Contingent Fee for the summer s'ession is five dollars per semester hour. A minimum contingent fee of fifteen dollars is charged.
2. For board, furnished room, heat, light, and limited laundry the charge shall be sixty-three dollars during each half se- mester, and forty-two dollars during the summer session. At the discretion of the president of the college, an addi- tional thirty-six dollars may be charged each semester to a stud'ent occupying a double room alone, or twelve dollars for the summer session.

If notice is not thus given, the deposit cannot be returned. Check for this amount must be drawn to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
8. No student shall be allowed to 'enroll, graduate, or receive transcript of record against whom there are any previous charges.

A graduate dieti- tian and a competent corps of trained and experienced persons provide the best quality of food, well-cooked, properly seasoned, and served attractively.
In the dormitories the College provides single beds with mattresses and bedding, in addition to all necessary furniture; but students are expected to furnish th'eir own sheets (size 54x99 or 63x99), pillow cases (size 36x45), towels, and toilet articles.

Uniforms for Physical Education Class. The College requires a regulation uniform for all women and men taking physical education. These suits are purchasable only by arrange- ment with the physical education department. Therefore, students may save themselves unnecessary expense by waiting until they are informed about suits before buying them elsewhere, as other uni- forms will not be acceptable.

Students entering the College for the first time cannot hope to secure em- ployment unless they make application in person.

The committee has passed the follow- ing regulations: No more than one hundred fifty dollars shall be loaned to an upper classman in any one year. No more than a total of three hundred dollars shall be loaned to any one person. Freshman loans may be granted up to one hundred dollars. In- terest shall he 4% from the date of graduation or from the date the student leaves sdiool.

1. General scholarship as evidenced by (graduation from an approved four-year high school) the completion of the work o[ the lOth, nth and 12th p-ades of an approved secondary school or institution of equivalent grade, or equivalent (preparation) education as determined by the Credentials Division of the De- partment of Public Instruction, and ranking in the upper half of the class at graduation.

b. The interview will be conducted at the college or other places and at times designated by the President of the col- lege.
EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES. All students are required to take part, without credit, in one physical education activity each semester, and one other extra-curricular activity one semester each year.
Quarterly Reports. For the purpose of reporting the progress of students, 'each semester is divided into halves At the end of the first nine weeks, each teacher submits to the Dean of Instruction a report for each student doing unsatisfactory work in his class. These reports are sent to the students. At the end of the semester a permanent report is recorded for each student, a copy of which is sent to the student and parents or guardians.
Th'e system of grading is as follows: A — Excellent; B — Good; C — Fair; D — Passing; E — Failing; Inc. — Incomplete. All incomplete grades must be removed by the end of the following semester or they become failures.
SCHOLARSHIP REQUIREMENTS
Students whos'e failures in any semester or year amount to six or more semester hours shall not take all the regular work of the following semester or year. It is recommended that such stu- dents attend summer s'ession to make up deficiencies.
Students shall not do student teaching unless they have passed in English I and English II, nor shall students whose re- corded or reported failures amount to six or more sem'ester hours do such teaching.
26 STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE
ADVANCED STANDING
Transfers from other institutions will not be accepted without certificates of honorable dismissal.
Credit will be given for acceptable courses pursued in ac- credited collegiate institutions in which the student has made a grade above the lowest passing grade in the institution in which the work was done. Where the grades are marked on a percentage basis, work graded five percent above the minimum passing grade will be accepted.
Students may not obtain a certificate or degree without a minimum residence of one year (thirty semester hours) in this College.
No credit will be granted for work completed in correspon- dence courses unless such work was completed prior to September, 1927.
Teachers in service may complete in extension courses not more than 25% of the courses required for a degree.
Students who are not graduates of a four-year high school, first class, must have their credits evaluated by the State Depart- ment of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Students who need this type of evaluation should consult the Registrar of the College. This regulation appli'es to teachers in service.
No credit for pubHc or private teaching experience, previ- ously credited as high school equivalent or as equivalent profes- sional credit toward graduation from a two-year curriculum, shall be granted toward meeting the requirements for entrance to or graauation from the four-year curriculums.
STUDENT TEACHING CREDIT FOR TEACHERS IN SERVICE
Experienced teachers with three or more years of experience in teaching who become candidates for a degree and who hold certificates below the level of the Provisional College Certificate may, at the discretion of an approved institution, complete the unfulfilled student teaching requirements for the degr'ee in any of the following ways: —
CLARION, PENNSYLVANIA 27
(a) Earn th'e number of hours required in actual student teaching, or
(b) Perform an assignment of work germane to teaching technique in connection with the regular teaching in a public school, carrying not less than one semester hour credit or more than six semester hours credit in a single semester, under approved supervision. In such cases th'e candidate must be regularly registered in the insti- tution, and may not earn more than a total of six semester hours credit in a single semester for all courses pursued, or
(c) Courses germane to teaching technique may be pursued in individual cases which are approved by the proper authority of an approved institution for not more than three semester hours.
CURRICULUMS
Each curriculum leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education.
I. Kindergarten-Primary — for teachers of Grades 1, 2 and 3.
II. Intermediate — for teachers of Grades 4, 5 and 6.
III. Rural — for teachers of Rural Schools.
IV. Junior or Senior High School — for teachers of Junior or Senior High
School.
The basic two years for each curriculum are essentially the same. There is a slight difference in the third and fourth semesters due to electives for the pur- pose of specializing in a specific field of teaching. Students can, therefore, defer choice of field of specialization until the beginning of the second year without loss of time, except those wishing to major in science. Science must be started at the beginning of the freshman year.
CERTIFICATION
The Provisional College Certificate is issued to applicants who complete any one of the approved four-year curriculums.
The Permanent College Certificate requires three years of successful teach- ing experience on the Provisional College Certificate in the public schools of the Commonwealth and the satisfactory completion of six semester hours of addi- tional work of collegiate grade, completed subsequent to the issue of the bac- calaureate degree. One-half of this additional work must be professional and the remainder related to the subjects or subject fields on the certificate.

One or more semester hours of credit in the course are satis- factory. This is in addition to meeting the experience requirements.
A college certificate for the teaching of secondary school subjects may be validated for the teaching of the elementary subjects on the completion of thirty semester hours of preparation in elementary education, including six semester hours of student teaching with pupils of an elementary grade level.

SPEECH CURRICULUM
Because of the increased emphasis upon speech work in the elementary and secondary schools, the unique place of speech activities in an integrated and socialized curriculum, and the consequent need for specialized training in the field of speech, the college is now making it possible for students to secure cer- tification in this field. A college certificate valid in the elementary field may have SPEECH added when a minimum of eighteen semester hours of work in speech has been completed. To students pursuing the secondary curriculum speech will be open as an elective field on the same basis as existing fields ; that is students may secure certification in speech by completing eighteen semester hours in the field as is done in such fields as English, geography, and social science.
