The summer term opens Monday, May 28, and closes Friday, August 3. The term is ten weeks in length. Function of the Teachers College. The State Teachers College at Kirksville is a fully accredited four year college. Its function is to prepare both elementary and high school teachers for the public schools of the state of Missouri. This institution believes in high educational standards. It believes that the state and nation should require equivalent preparation, along with other qualifications, for like positions in both elementary schools and high schools, and at the same time grant equal compensation for such positions. Reasons for Attending 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 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. The state department’s requirements for approved grades on state and county certificates are given on page 28 of this bulletin. REGISTRATION AND CREDITS Registration. Programs will be made the first day of the term. Registration is not merely the payment of the incidental fee but it covers the six steps under the ORDER OF PROCEDURE 5 (Page 6) FOR REGISTRATION. Students coming after the opening date will be charged an extra fee of $1.00 for late entrance unless the late entrance is due to teaching or illness. A doctor’s certificate must verify illness. For release from extra fee, see the Dean or Registrar. The Incidental Fee. The incidental fee is $12.50 per term, payable in advance. No departmental fees are allowed; 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 allowed to apply on any period excepting that for which they are paid in advance. Prepare Credentials in Advance. Students desiring credit for studies taken in other schools and colleges should file with the Credentials committee on or before the date of entrance a complete statement of such credit. On application the Registrar will furnish blanks in proper form for making definite statements of credits earned in other schools. If it is impossible to file credits on or before the day of entrance, the student may be provisionally entered for two weeks, but failure to file credits within the two weeks result in the deduction of one hour of credit. 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) 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 receive advanced standing unit for unit and semester hour for semester hour. All credentials should be submitted to the Credentials Committee which is in session each afternoon at 3 o’clock. Students who claim more credit for work done in either classified or unclassified secondary schools than is recommended by the state superintendent’s rating shall be given the credit by examinations only. These examinations will be held in conformity with the conference agreement of state institutions. 6 (Page 7) Approval of Subjects Taught. Students who have taught subjects in high schools approved by state inspectors or by similar accrediting agencies in other states will be given high school credit for those subjects in the event that they have not previously received 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 apportioned 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. Order of Procedure for Registration. There is an established order of procedure for registration which applies both to students who have never been enrolled here before and to students who have not been enrolled since September, 1916. 1. CLASSIFICATION. On reaching the Teachers College the student goes first to the Committee on Credentials which is in session throughout enrollment day in Room 2B. With this committee he deposits his high school credentials, also his college credentials if he has attended college. The Committee on Credentials then gives him a classification card in duplicate which shows whether he is eligible to high school or college classes. If the student has not completed 15 high school units, but is 21 years of age and can show ability to pursue college courses, he is given a SPECIAL classification which admits him to college classes. 2. MATRICULATION. The student next goes to the committee in charge of matriculation. Here he presents his two classification cards, fills out a matriculation card, and has his matriculation number entered on both his classification cards. 3. Payment of Incidental Fee. The classification cards are now presented to the one in charge of fees in 12B. Here the student deposits one of these cards with his incidental fee and receives a receipt. 4. CONSULTATION WITH FACULTY MEMBERS. The student now consults faculty members with whom he wishes to take work and fills in his receipt with the studies he desires to pursue. The 7 (Page 8) receipt is now signed by the faculty member whom the student chooses as faculty adviser. 5. FILLING IN OF PERMANENT PROGRAM CARD. The student is now ready to fill in a permanent program card for the office files. The cards are distributed in 16B. At the same time he fills in one of the blue class cards for each study he pursues. 6. FILING PERMANENT PROGRAM CARD AND CLASS CARDS. The student himself now files his program card and all his class cards in 16B. These cards must be filed as soon as possible. If kept over twenty-four hours they entail the consequences of late registration rule and the student is subjected to the one dollar fine. On the day that classes assemble the class cards are in the hands of the instructors and no student should be permitted to remain in any class unless the instructor has a class card for him bearing the Registrar’s stamp. A student who has been enrolled since September, 1916, may start at point 3, but at the time he pays his fee he must present a classification card showing his matriculation number or else go back to the Credentials Committee and purchase for 25 cents a duplicate of his classification card. College Organization. 1. In the college organization of this institution 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 l00 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. 8 (Page 9) 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 entered in the program without the consent of some member of the department in which the subject is taught. Faculty members, President, Dean and Registrar are accommodating and anxious to help new students to select a good working program. Change of Program. A program should be chosen with extrema 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 seven weeks of the term. Programs are changed on afternoons between 3 and 5 o’clock. GENERAL INFORMATION 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 rates for rooms vary from small amounts up to about $2.50 per week per student. The average per student including heat and light is nearly $2.00 per week, two in a room with modern conveniences. Meals for typical students cost from $4.00 to $7.00 per week, with an average approximating $5.00 per week per student. Rooms for light housekeeping may be had at reasonable rates. Rooming houses are approved or rejected at the discretion of the administration of the school. Rooming houses must be exclusively for men or exclusively 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 9 (Page 10) men. All inquiries for rooms and board, whether for men or women, should be addressed to Mrs. Jo Walker Humphrey, Adviser of Women. Total Cost Per Term. The maximum cost per term for a typical student should not exceed: incidental fee, $12.50; books and supplies, $8.00; laundry, $10.00; room rent, $18.00; meals, $55.00. Total $103.50. The Cafeteria. The College Cafeteria furnishes meals at minimum cost, with ample variety from which each student may select. It assures wholesome food and well balanced rations, changing from day to day. Student Aid. 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 Fred S. Russell, Professor of Agriculture. There are several loan funds, free of interest charge, available to worthy students while attending this institution. SUMMER ENTERTAINMENT Plays and Players. The Devereux Players have, in the six or seven years of successive engagements at Teachers College, become an established phase of summer school life. Their artistic presentation of the best in classic and modern dramatic literature has won for them the highest appreciation and friendship, both of students and of citizens of Kirksville. Their coming is one of the events which arouses the keen pleasure of anticipation characteristic of the incoming summer student. On June 8 and 9, Mr. Devereux, Miss Graf and a larger company than ever will perform a series of three plays chosen from Shakespeare and the great modern dramatists. Fourth Annual Festival of Music and Drama. The Departments of Music and of Dramatics will continue this year their highly satisfactory and pleasing series of joint programs known as the Festivals of Music and Drama. The contribution of the Music Department will probably be Balfe’s BOHEMIAN GIRL, while that of the Department of Dramatics will be one of Shakespeare’s major comedies, such as MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR or TAMING OF THE SHREW, or possibly a Greek play, 10 (Page 11) such as the ELECTRA of Sophocles or Euripides. These programs will be presented in the Campus Stadium, a new portable theater used on the athletic field. The Dramatic Club. The Dramatic Club furnishes, in addition to dramatic productions already named, weekly programs in the Little Theater, and occasional public performances. With the excellent new small theater in the Ophelia Parrish School, and the great stage in John R. Kirk Auditorium, the Club has added facilities which will stimulate it to greater activity. Already the Club has found it necessary to organize in two divisions in order to take care of the increased demands upon it. Lectures. The College is planning to have the following named lecturers during the summer term: Dr. Ambrose L. Suhrie, Director Cleveland School of Education, Cleveland, Ohio. Dr. A. T. McCarmack, U. S. Public Health Service, Lexington, Kentucky. Dr. Thomas D. Wood, Columbia University, New York. Dr. R. L. Russell, U. S. Public Health Service, Jefferson City, Missouri. Dr. A. E. Winship, Editor Journal of Education, Boston, Massachusetts. Dr. Bruce R. Payne, President George Peabody College f or Teachers, Nashville, Tennessee. The new buildings are to be dedicated about June 20. That event will bring to the college campus many distinguished visitors including Governor Arthur M. Hyde, Honorable J. J. Tigert, U. S. Commissioner of Education, Hon. Chas. A. Lee, State Supt. Public Schools, all the Ex-Superintendents of Missouri, as many of the older alumni as possible, and many distinguished speakers and lecturers. DEPARTMENTS OF INSTRUCTION The Teachers College has twenty departments of instruction. They are as follows: Agriculture, Chemistry, Child Hygiene and Public Health, Commerce, Education, English, Fine Arts, Geography, Industrial Arts, History, Home Economics, Latin, Library Economy, Manual Arts, Mathematics, Modern 11 (Page 12) Languages, Music, Physical Education, Physics and Physiography and Political and Social Sciences. The work of these departments is of a standard equal to that of the best colleges of our country. The Teachers College at Kirksville is fully accredited as a senior college of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Public Health and Physical Education. It is proposed, to anticipate all that may be done in public school education under the new physical education statutes of Missouri. This may involve some transfer of the energy of specialized instructors. It seems not to be doubted that the major energies of the physical education instructors have been exerted in behalf of teams for competitive college and high school games. Now it is proposed to bring about co-operation between the Department of Child Hygiene and Public Health on the one hand and those who direct the gymnasium exercises on the other. If this brings about a necessary curtailment in the coaching of the few strong bodied students for the sake of winning games, there still seems to be no reason why it should not be done. Therefore, it is the purpose to discover to a considerable extent through the Department of Child Hygiene and Public Health what is the definite physical condition of those students who need physical education most and introduce as fast as possible such corrective gymnastics as may be feasible and then such developmental gymnastics and plays and games as will bring into reality the old Greek idea of sound minds in sound bodies. Already the Department of Child Hygiene and Public Health has proven itself highly valuable to students from a good many view points. The physician’s office is well equipped for diagnosis and for treatment of many ordinary conditions. Dressings, antiseptics and other supplies are provided free of charge to students. Serum and vaccine prophylaxis are administered when necessary. Students having ailments are visited in their rooms by the nurse. Analyses of many types are made in the well equipped laboratory. In view of the fact that this is a teacher producing institution our movement in the direction of corrective gymnastics and the ways of securing and maintaining health among the students at large is seen to have value reaching far into the future. 12 (Page 13) Moreover the Department of Child Hygiene and Public Health in cooperation with the State and Federal Departments of Health will give instructive lectures on various phases of public health and social hygiene. These programs are given of afternoons during the summer quarters and are free to all. The Library. The library consists of approximately twenty-three thousand cataloged volumes and eight thousand Federal and State documents not cataloged. A separate children’s collection furnishes a laboratory for the Demonstration School. One hundred twenty-five periodicals and fifty newspapers are currently received. The Demonstration Schools. The Demonstration School includes the elementary school and the high school. The demonstration phase of the school has in the past functioned through lessons conducted for the benefit of the classes in the various courses of Education, more particularly for those students enrolled in courses 15, 125a, and 125b. The plans for the immediate future, however, provide for increased facilities for observation and participation by all departments in the College. There is no break in the work of the Demonstration School from the primary grades through the high school. Each supervisor works on the departmental plan in the elementary school and prepares the pupils to pass naturally from one group to the next higher. An attempt is made to organize the activities of the school around the felt needs of the pupils. This is the force that propels the socialized recitation, the “guest” recitation, the group excursion, and the class parties. It is noticeably prominent in the Boy’s Athletic Associations, the English Clubs, and in the publication of the Junior Index. It unites pupils, teachers, and supervisors. The pupils’ progress is measured not alone by their growth in subject matter, but equal importance is attached to the development of worthy purposes. The courses of study of high school rank are rapidly being provided for in the growth and extension of the Demonstration School. During the present year spacious accommodations are being provided for Demonstration School classes from the kindergarten through the elementary school and the high schoool. It is planned after the completion of the Demonstration School 13 (Page 14) building to have all high school work done in that building. In view of the foregoing considerations the high school course of study will be under the direction of the Demonstration School faculty and will conform in the main to the organization of courses of study in a standard first class high school.

For the year ending September, 1921, the Committee on Recommendations placed 180 teachers at an average salary of $1277. The average salary of those holding the 30-hour certificate is - $942.00 The average salary of those holding the 60-hour diploma is - $1,382.00 The average salary of those holding the 90-hour diploma is - $1,491.00 The average salary of those holding the 120-hour diploma with Bachelor’s degree is - $1,804.00 Meeting the Needs of Teachers. The Teachers College at Kirksville offers increased advantages for professional preparation and advancement. It grants elementary certificates and life certificates 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 in its demonstration school 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. During the summer term it enables teachers to make certified grades on state and county certificates. CERTIFICATES, DIPLOMAS, DEGREES 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 fourth week of the quarter. A student who fails to comply with this necessary provision will be asked to pay $1.00 for the privilege of making application. ENUMERATION OF CERTIFICATES AND DIPLOMAS 1. 30-Hour Certificate.

REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO HIGH SCHOOLS, COLLEGES AND THE UNIVERSITY Each summer school shall maintain at least departments of Education, English, History, Mathematics and Science, each presided over by a specialist whose preparation in studies of college grade shall have covered not less than four years or 120 semester hours. Approved summer schools shall be conducted for a period of not less than forty days of class-room instruction under teachers approved by the State Board of Education, and in suitable buildings with adequate libraries, laboratories and equipment. Approved grades for county certificates, properly certified, shall be accepted by the State and County Superintendents as follows: 1. ENGLISH: (a) Grammar, completing one unit of grammar and composition; (b) English and American Literature, completing or in advance of three units of English. 2. MATHEMATICS: Completion of: (a) 1/3 units in Algebra; (b) 1/3 of a unit in Arithmetic, preceded by one unit of Mathematics. 3. HISTORY: Completion of: (a) 1/3 of a unit in civics, preceded by one unit in history; (b) one unit in American History, or Ancient History, or Medieval and Modem History or English History. 4. SCIENCE: Completion of: (a) 2/3 of a unit in Physiology and Hygiene; (b) 2/3 of a unit in descriptive, industrial and commercial geography; (c) one unit in physical geography; (d) one unit in agriculture or biology, or physics. 5. EDUCATION: Completion of f of a unit or more of the following: Elementary Psychology, Principles of Teaching, Methods in Elementary Schools, Methods in Rural Schools, Rural Management, School Economy, and School Administration. Approved grades of College rank for State Certificates, properly certified, shall be accepted by the State Superintendent provided five semester hours are submitted in each subject. No credit will be certified unless the student remains until the end of the term. No student shall receive an approved grade who has had daily 28 (Page 29) more than four recitations requiring preparation or whose total studies and exercises pursued in the summer term would (if measured in the form of semester hours) amount to more than one hour per week for each week’s attendance. A student presenting credits for either three or four approved grades must have taken during the summer term either ½ of a unit or 2½ semester hours in Education or Arts. No grade will be accepted and certified in any subjects other than those named above. High School credit may be given to students for approved summer school work provided a satisfactory arrangement can be made with the superintendent or principal of such high schools where the student is enrolled, and provided further that the student take double work, or ninety minutes per day in each subject. No student shall take more than two subjects. Work properly completed in this manner will entitle a student to one-half unit of regular high school credit in each subject. No student may be engaged for more than four recitation periods per day, and no work except that of high school rank shall be offered under above conditions. All approved summer school grades made under the provisions as hereinbefore given shall become void if the holder thereof shall have ceased to be engaged in active educational work as a teacher, student in school, a supervisor or administrator in school work for a period of two consecutive years. (Section 11366). At the close of the term the directors shall certify to the State Superintendent: (a) the name and address of each person desiring credits; (b) the county to which credits shall be sent; (c) the list of subjects in which credits are sought; (d) the list of all subjects pursued during the term, the total number of recitation periods in each subject, and the credit received in units or semester hours; (e) the list and quantity of high school and college credits previously taken (if any) which are to be combined with summer term studies to complete the necessary units and semester hours; (f) the grades in all subjects pursued during the term; (g) the number of days in attendance. Whenever grades have been approved by the State Board of Education, the State Superintendent shall record them and certify to each County Superintendent the grades of all persons belonging to his county who desire credits. Definitions and Directions: 1. The acceptance of work from high schools shall be governed by the reports of the State Superintendent on the number of units to which each high school is entitled. 2. A unit means nine months in high school studies. 3. The semester hour measures studies of college rank and no others. 4. Each subject must be studied during the term at the end of which grades are to be certified to the State Superintendent, and must cover at least ½ of a unit or 2½ semester hours. 5. The student must produce early in the summer term certified transcripts of all credits (whatever their source) which are to be combined with the summer term credits in order to secure the necessary sum total in units and semester hours. 29 (Page 30) THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION PROPOSES THE FOLLOWING STANDARDS AND QUALIFICATIONS FOR TEACHER-TRAINING HIGH SCHOOLS 1.

Jefferson City, Missouri. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CERTIFICATE In a communication under date of April 28, 1923, the State Superintendent of Public Schools refers to the inadequate appropriation for maintenance of Teacher Training High Schools. He then says: “This condition has created a necessity for this department to issue a certificate to meet the increased demand for trained teachers. This certificate will be known as an Elementary School Certificate and will be issued only to graduates of first class high schools of 1923 and who rank in the upper two-thirds of the class. The requirements for this year are: English, 4 units; Mathematics, 2 units; History, 2 units, one of which is American History; Science, 2 units, one of which is Agriculture; and Electives, 6 units, and in addition a course of ten hours work in a Missouri Teachers College or University. Of the ten hours, five will be required as follows: Rural School Methods – 2½ hours Observation - 2½ hours The other five hours will be elected from the following groups: Introductory Educational - Psychology 2½ hours Rural Sociology - 2½ hours School Economy - 2½ hours Educational Sociology – 2½ hours This certificate may be renewed, upon expiration, after 32 weeks of successful teaching and ten hours of college work, and may be renewed indefinitely 30 (Page 31) upon the completion of 32 weeks of successful teaching and ten hours of college work for each renewal. The following course will be required after the present school year, and the Elementary School Certificate issued and renewed upon the same conditions as given above, provided the instructors of both high school and grades meet the same requirements as those in Teacher Training High Schools: English, 4 units; Mathematics, 2½ units, ½ unit of which is Advanced Arithmetic; History, 2 units, one of which is American History; Agriculture, 1 unit; Reviews, 1 unit, Senior year; Civics, ½ unit and Sociology, ½ unit; Penmanship, ½ unit; Physical Education, ½ unit; Music, ½ unit, with the following electives: Manual Training, Science, Drawing, Bookkeeping, Economics, History, Mathematics, Language, Home Economics and Vocational Agriculture. This same certificate will be issued to graduates of all first class high schools regardless of the year in which they graduated, upon the completion of thirty hours of college work, ten hours of which must be in education.” Very truly yours, CHAS. A. LEE, State Superintendent. For further information regarding Summer Term, address: JOHN R. KIRK, President, WM. H. ZEIGEL, Dean, ELMA POOLE, Registrar. 31 (Back Cover)
