SUMMER TERM 1920

Calendar. The Summer Term opens Monday, May 31, and closes Friday, August 6. Programs will be made the first day of the term. Recitations will begin the second day.

Why Attend the Summer Term? It enables the student of the regular school year to economize time and avoid loss which enforced vacation entails. The summer term is an exact equivalent of any other term's work. It enables the typical student to earn 40 semester hours of credit in a calendar year instead of 30 hours.

It also affords similar opportunities to those who, after teaching nine months, must plan for the best use of their vacation. The summer term opens at or near the close of all public schools. It is out in ample time for teachers to return to their work at the beginning of their schools. The four-term plan of the Kirksville Teachers College is adapted to the needs of teachers of northeast Missouri. The summer term is a challenge to such teachers. It enables them to grow in knowledge and experience, and to earn advanced diplomas and degrees. It furnishes the surest means for increased usefulness and promotion.

The summer term also enables students to secure from one to four grades for credit on state or county certificates. Holders of teacher training certificates, who have had a year's successful experience in teaching, may earn sufficient credits in one term at Teachers College to change their teacher training certificates into first grade county certificates.

If properly chosen, these credits will also count towards a certificate or diploma in this institution. During the summer of 1919, 213 students made one or more certified grades on state or county certificates and 71 students holding teacher training certificates made certified grades validating their teacher training certificates. The state department's requirements for approved grades on state and county certificates are given on page 29 of this bulletin.

Prepare Credentials in Advance. Students desiring credit for studies taken in other schools and colleges must file with the Credentials Committee on or before the date of entrance a complete statement of such credit. Certificates of credit should be in definit form and must be signd by proper teachers or officials of the school attended. On request Teachers College will



(Page 5)



furnish blanks in which definit statements of credit may be made for each school attended.

What the Credentials Should Show. Credentials should show: (1) The number of months attended in each school above the eighth grade; (2) every study pursued above the eighth grade, the number of months in each study) the number of recitation periods per week, and the average length in minutes of recitation periods in each study; (3) they should Show the number of high school Units of credit in each study of high school grade and the number of semester hours of credit in each study of college grade.

Advanced Standing. Those bringing credentials from accredited high schools, academies, colleges, normal schools and universities receiv advanced standing unit for unit and semester hour for semester hour.

Credit From Unaccredited Schools. Nearly every unaccredited or partially accredited school has been rated by the state superintendent of schools. The accredited studies are therefore known. Students from such unaccredited or partially accredited high schools receiv credit indicated by the state superintendent's rating.

Those coming from unclassified private educational institutions in which their work was done prior to July 1, 1917, may have their credits evaluated by the Credentials Committee. When at a later date these credits are approvd by the Visiting Committee they will be permanently enterd in the Teachers College records.

Approval of Subjects Taught. Students who have taught subjects in high schools approvd by state inspectors or by similar accrediting agencies in other states will be given credit for those subjects in the event that they have not previously receivd high school credit or college credit in the same.

Credit for Military Service. A maximum of 12 hours' credit is granted for service in the military forces of the United States. The credit is apportiond approximately as follows: 12 hours for 12 months’ service, 9 hours for 6 months' service, 6 hours for 3 months’ service. Also ex-service men, upon the presentation of proper credentials, may receive credit for courses completed in reputable educational institutions including specialized military schools.



(Page 6)



Examinations for Advanced Standing. Students desiring credit from schools of any kind in greater amount than is allowed by the state superintendent’s rating may take examinations to prove their right to such credit. Students who have mastered studies under competent teachers, inside or outside institutions, may prove their knowledge of such studies thru examinations, during the first week of the term, but they should be able to give the name and state the professional standing of each of such teachers; and each student may have three terms in which to take examinations in all unaccredited studies, but examinations are not to be taken in the lower forms of a study after the student has pursued in this institution the higher forms of that study.

The Incidental Fee. The incidental fee is ten dollars per term, payable in advance. No other fees are allowd; but students are charged for breakages in laboratories and they are fined for misuse of library books.

No Return of Fees. Incidental fees are not refunded for any cause whatsoever. They are not allowd to apply on any period excepting that for which they are paid in advance.

Program Card. The daily program card is a receipt for the incidental fee. It contains agreements signd by the student. It must be substantially identical with a duplicate on file in the President’s office.

Order of Procedure.

1. On reaching Teachers College the student goes to the Registrar’s office and gets receipt for the incidental fee, ten dollars.

2. The student fills out a matriculation card.

3. The student returns matriculation card to be filed.

4. The student presents grade cards and other credentials to the Credentials Committee, if that has not been done in advance.

5. The student receivs from the Credentials Committee a card showing classification as: (1) a high school student, (2) a college student, or (3) a special student.

6. The student now plans a program for the term.

Classification. Classification and programs of students must be in harmony with the highest ideals and the sanest standards of the educational era in which we live. To this end:



(Page 7)



1. College students are differentiated into (1) those of the junior college and (2) those of the senior college.

2. Students having less than 60 semester hours of credit constitute the junior college; those having 60 or more semester hours of credit constitute the senior, college.

3. Students in the junior college are to select their studies mainly from junior college subjects; those in the senior college are to select their studies mainly from senior college subjects.

4. A candidate for the Bachelor's Degree should have approximately 60 hours of senior college credit.

5. All college courses are designated by Arabic numerals : junior college courses, by numbers 1 to 99 inclusive; those of the senior college, by numbers 1OO to 199 inclusive.

How Many Studies. (1) Typical students may have four studies without consulting the Committee on Excess Credit. (2) From 20 to 30 per Cent of the students by consent of the Committee on Excess Credit may have four and one-half studies. Manual Arts, Freehand Drawing, Sight Reading, Gymnasium work are half studies. (3) About 5 per cent of all students by permission of Committee on Excess Credit may have five studies each.

Faculty Members Make Programs. On the first day of the term members of the faculty will be distributed by departments in rooms easily accessible to students. A program committee will advise with new students and help them to make out their programs. Each department will be ready to advise students with reference to its particular courses.

No subject should be enterd in the program without the consent of some member of the department in which the subject is taught. Faculty members, President, Dean, Registrar, and clerks are accommodating and anxious to help new students to select a good working program.

Change of Program. A program should be chosen with extreme care. After choice has been made, the student should exert the greatest possible effort to carry the program selected and complete its several courses. No student can change classes or drop a subject without the written consent of the teacher of the subject and official approval at President's office, and then only during the first four weeks of the term.

How to Apply for a Certificate or Diploma. A student who wishes to obtain a certificate or diploma at the end of any quarter must fill out an application card and file it with the Registrar by the end of the fifth week of the quarter. A student who fails to comply with this necessary provision will be asked to pay $1 for the privilege of making application.

CERTIFICATES, DIPLOMAS, DEGREES

1. Rural State Certificate. It is equivalent to the Teacher Training Certificate. The requirement is sixteen units of prescribed high, school studies—the last three months being in the Teachers College.

2. 30-Hour Certificate. It is an elementary state certificate valid for two years—based upon an approvd four year high school course and one year in academic and pedagogic studies of college grade. The minimum residence requirement is two terms.

3. 60-Hour Diploma. It is a life diploma designating. ability to teach in elementary schools—based upon an approvd four year high school course and two years in studies of college grade. The minimum residence requirement is three terms.

4. 90-Hour Diploma. It is a life diploma designating ability to teach and supervise teaching in high schools and elementary schools—based upon an approvd four year high school course and three years in studies of college grade. The minimum residence requirement is three terms.

5. 120-Hour Diploma. It is a life diploma Rearing the Bachelor's Degree—based upon an approvd four year; high school course and four years in studies of college grade. The minimum residence requirement is three terms.

It is thus seen that the Teachers College plan of certification meets the definit needs of teachers at various stages of their preparation. It is of primary importance to students who must teach awhile and go to school awhile because of not being able to finish a college education by continuous study through four successiv years.

Positions for Teachers. This school assists qualified teachers in securing positions. In the year 1919 the Committee on Recommendations placed 207 teachers and gave substantial help

—8—



(Page 9)



to many others. It placed teachers at a total salary of $187,875.50 for the school year.

The average salary of those not holding Teachers

College certificates or diplomas is $ 540.00

The average salary of those holding the 30-hour

certificate is 657.00

The average salary of those holding the 60-hour

diploma is 877.00

The average salary of those holding the 90-hour

diploma is 1,044.00

The average salary of those holding the 120-hour

diploma with the Bachelor’s degree is 1,452.00

Next year the salaries of graduates will be much higher.

The Teachers College has placed teachers in the following named states: Arizona, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Kansas, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Michigan, Arkansas, Illinois, Oklahoma, Oregon and Wyoming, for the school year 1919-1920.

The demand for good teachers, with college credit far exceeds the supply. The initial salaries of the holders of the Bachelor of Science degree shows an increase of 37%; for the ninety-hour diploma an increase of 25%; and for the sixty-hour diploma an increase of 30% over the salaries paid in the preceding year. No fee is charged Boards of Education; but to pay postage, telegrams, telephone tolls and printing, a fee not exceeding one dollar is charged every student who enrols with the committee.

Rooms and Meals. A majority of our students have their rooms with private families. They are welcomed into the homes of the best people in Kirksville. The summer rates for rooms vary from small amounts up to about $2.50 per week per student. The average per summer term student including fight is $1.50 per week, two in a room, with modern conveniences.

 Meals for typical students cost from $4.00 to $6.00 per week, with an average approximating $4.50 per week per student. Rooms for light housekeeping may be had at reasonable rates. Rooming houses must be exclusivly. for men or exclusivly for women. A parlor must be provided for the use of young women when they have guests. Treatments for women students in rooming houses are to be chaperoned when given by men. All inquiries for rooms and

-9-



(Page 10)



board, whether for men or women, should be addrest to Mrs. Jo Walker Humphrey, Adviser of Women.

Total Cost for Summer Term. The maximum cost for the 10 weeks to be borne by a typical student, in the summer of 1920, should not exceed: Incidental fee, $10.00; books and supplies, $8.00; laundry, $10.00; room rent, $18.00; meals, $50.00. Total, $96.00.

The Cafeteria. This institution has long supported a first class department of Home Economics. Practical courses in cafeteria cooking led to the establishment of a cafeteria in comfortable, ventilated, fire-proof rooms. Its equipment includes the best appliances for cookery to be secured for money in the United States.

This cafeteria is the first of its kind in a Missouri Teachers College. It opend on the first day of the summer term two years ago. It furnishes meals at cost, with ample variety from which each student may select. It insures wholesome food and well balanced rations, changing from day to day.

The cafeteria draws upon the “state farm” for many supplies. It furnishes employment for about twenty students, preferably students in Home Economics, both men and women. It pays for student labor about $140 each week. Many students earn their living expenses while helping to conduct the cafeteria. It is a laboratory where scientific facts are tested in practice.

The Dairying Laboratory. This is another means of testing and using scientific knowledge. It gives a few students opportunity to earn their living expenses while carrying a program of college studies. It makes and sells butter. It buys milk from the school farm and from neighboring farmers, and as a practical application of dairying, pasteurizes and sells the milk at a reasonable profit. It furnishes about ten gallons of ice cream daily for the cafeteria and also a good quality of cottage cheese.

Employment Bureau. Women students desiring to reduce expenses by work in private families or elsewhere should address Mrs. Jo Walker Humphrey, Adviser of Women. Men students desiring employment should address L. A. Dalton, Professor of Agriculture, or John Jack, Chief Caretaker. Letters addrest to the President, Dean, or Registrar will receiv prompt attention. Many students earn their expenses thruout long periods of time.

Student Loan Funds. There are several: loan funds, free of interest charge, available to worthy students while attending this institution. The class of 1912 founded a student aid fund which amounts to $500, the interest from which is loaned to either men or women.

The Alpha Sigma Alpha Sorority recently establisht a small loan fund which is to be increased from time to time until it amounts to at least $500. The interest on this fund is loaned to women only. President Kirk is custodian of both of these funds. The Monday Club of Kirksville, an organization of Kirksville women, has a fund of $850, all of which is available for loans to women. Mrs. J. A. Cooley of Kirksville is Treasurer of this fund. The Federation of Women’s Clubs of Missouri has a large fund from which loans are made annually to girls and young women thruout the State in high schools and colleges.

Applications should be made to Mrs. Henry N. Ess, 2416 Brooklyn Ave., Kansas City, Mo. The Gentry-Parrish Memorial Fund amounting to over $500 was raised thru contributions of the faculty, the alumni and the students of this institution some time ago in honor of the late Professor Gentry and Miss Parrish of the faculty. The interest on this fund is available as loans to either men or women. Mr. E. M. Violette of Kirksville is Treasurer of this fund. The Y. W. C. A. of the College makes occasional loans to young women from the profits of the stand which it maintains in the College. Mrs. Jo Walker Humphrey is in charge of these loans.

Leaving Town. Enroling students agree not to leave Kirksville during the term without permission from the President or the Dean of the Faculty.

Social Entertainments. Each student agrees not to attend dances or other social parties on the afternoon or night of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday during the school term, excepting by permission from the President.

High School Contests. The State Teachers College is planning for the third annual series of high school contests at Kirksville. Last spring 25 high schools were represented in 10 contests with 581 participants. The awards consisted of 48 medals, 7 cups and 6 certificates. Teachers College-entertained all these contestants free. Meals were furnished at the College Cafeteria. Rooms were provided in private homes and boarding houses. The various classes of Teachers College had headquar-

—11—



(Page 12)



ters for high school delegations and acted as hosts for the different high schools. The Northeast Missouri High School Association encourages all group activities for high schools and will hold its next series of contests April 29, 30, and May 1, 1920, at Teachers College in Kirksville. Contests will be held in dramatics, quick breads, plain cakes, sewing, reading and speaking, orchestra, grain judging, poultry judging, stock judging, industrial arts, fine arts, stenography, typewriting, track and field, chorus (sight singing) and chorus (prepared). Write for our February Bulletin which explains the plans of the meet and gives the rules governing the contests.

Plays and Players. The annual tour of the Devereux Players has in two years become an establisht phase of the summer school fife, quite as much as was formerly the annual visit of the Coburn Players. The Devereux program of Ibsen, Hugo, Rostand, and Tchekov plays in 1918, followed by a repertory from Shakespeare, Sheridan and Goldsmith in 1919 left nothing to be desired in high class dramatic art. The coming of the Devereux Players to our outdoor stage in July is one of the delights of the summer school.

Summer Opera. The popular custom of having a light opera each summer has been resumed. In 1919 the Music Department, assisted by the Dramatic Club and the departments of Physical Education, Industrial Arts and Household Arts, gave a performance of “Erminie” that competent critics pronounce the most finished ever given in Kirksville. Even finer things are to be hoped for this summer.

Meeting the Needs. Teachers College at Kirksville offers increast advantages for professional preparation and advancement. Teachers and prospective teachers should enrol for the' summer term. Teachers College grants elementary certificates and life diplomas which entitle the holders to teach in the elementary schools and high schools of Missouri.

It confers the bachelor’s degree on completion of four, years of college studies. It offers the typical course of a regular four year high school for students who have not finished such courses. It also enables teacher training graduates to change their certificates to first grade county certificates.

The Outlook for 1920. Missouri is in need of "teachers. During the ensuing year there will be a shortage of 140,000 teachers in the United States, 5,000 of whom will be in the State of Missouri. Right or wrong, many well qualified teachers are quitting the profession. To meet the desperate situation several states have passed minimum salary laws and have made provisions for increased tax levies.

Missouri will soon provide adequately for her teachers. Our state must retain its capable teachers and make the profession so attractive that our most talented boys and girls will desire to enter it. Consequently salaries of teachers cannot remain at present low levels, but must advance rapidly. There will be quick promotion for capable men and women who REMAIN IN THE PROFESSION. The outlook is equally bright for active, vigorous young men and women who wish to become teachers.

The world’s equilibrium has been seriously upset. In many ways this is a hopeful sign. But it carries with it distressing inconveniences and not a few grave dangers. Viewd from any angle the problems of reconstruction and readjustment of conflicting aims and contentions rest fundamentally upon the school. It is in the schoolroom that our big civic, social and moral problems find ultimate solution.

It is in the give and take, in the free discussion and self-expression as practiced in the schoolroom that the real basis of a working democracy is laid. It is here that the thinkers and leaders in all occupations and professions are trained. The work of the schoolmaster is fundamental. His place is unique and he must be provided for. To cripple the brain power of the world is to plunge the world into chaos. Teachers Colleges are the state’s chosen instruments to safeguard the public from any such catastrophe. The State Teachers College at Kirksville stands ready to do its part for the state and the nation.

DEFINITIONS

A “term” covers 10 to 12 weeks.

A “school year” is three terms approximating nine school months.

A “unit” is a credit earnd by the successful pursuit of a high school study or its equivalent for three terms or one “school year.”

The “semester hour” means 18 typical class periods in a college study.

The “unit” measures all high school credits and no others.

Each typical college study yields 2½ semester hours in a term. Typical college classes meet four times per week, but each class must meet at least 45 times in a term. Class periods are 50 minutes in the clear.

Gymnasium work, Sight Reading in Music, First Year Drawing, Manual Arts and Chorus work when taken 1 period per day are “half credit studies,” and valued at 1-6 unit or 1¼  hours.

STANDARD HIGH SCHOOL COURSES

Four units constitute a typical year’s work in high school. The sixteen units of an approvd four year high school course are defined by the State Superintendent of Public Schools to be as follows: English, 3; Mathematics, 2; History, 2; Science, 2; Electivs, 7; total, 16 units. Fifteen units properly distributed thru the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades constitute the minimum requirement for entrance to the freshman year in Missouri institutions of college grade.

Students who secure their “four year” high school education or any part of it in this Teachers College are expected to harmonize their programs with the following suggested courses:

First Year: From Algebra, American History, Biology, Bookkeeping, Farm Accounts, Fine Arts, General Science, Grammar and Composition, Household Arts, Industrial Arts, Music, Physical Education 4 units.

Second Year: From Advanced Arithmetic, Agriculture, American Literature and Rhetoric, Civics, European History, Fine Arts, Industrial Arts, Latin, Music, Physical Education, Physical Geography, Typewriting 4 units.

Fourth Year: From Advanced Algebra, Civics or European History, Commercial Geography, Industrial Arts, Literature and Rhetoric, Music, Physical Education, Physics, Rural Education 3 units.

Total 15 units.

THE UPPER DEMONSTRATION SCHOOL

JUNIOR AND SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL COURSES

Some important transformations now gradually taking place in the upper demonstration school classes are hardly noticeable excepting by those faculty members and students directly concernd.

But the changes are going on and will continue. All classes from the seventh grade to the twelfth inclusiv gradually take form under the heads of Junior High School and Senior High School, the seventh, eighth and ninth grades comprising the Junior High School, the tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades comprising the Senior High School.

Under these new forms of organization the curriculum from year to year or class to class undergoes no material changes, and the personnel of classes remains substantially the same.

LEARNING BY PARTICIPATION

This is for intending High School Teachers. It is sometimes called the Wisconsin Plan. The intending teacher enters the high school class, pursues the studies with high school students and recites with them until

—14—



(Page 15)



called out by the regular teacher of the class and appointed temporary teacher of the class, to be teacher for a time while the class pursues the study of some chapter or section or phase of the subject. The temporary student teacher thus “works out” a project under guidance and criticism of the regular teacher. The plan is highly satisfactory as far as it has been tried.
