VOL. 25, NO. 2 iPETERS REVIEWS BOND ISSUE FOR SCHOOL JOURNAL Educational Magazine Publishes Statistical Article by Research Head SHOWS NEED OF PENN STATE FOR BUILDINGS "Both In Students and Spirit Penn State Is University," Declares Professor "Both in composition of student body and in. spirit, Penn State is a university, comparing favorably with other great state institutions of high er learning." This assertion is made by Dr. Charles C. Peters, College director of educational research, in his article entitled "The State College Bond Is sue," published in the September is sue of the Pennsutrania School Jour nal. He aimed to dissipate the pre valent contention that Penn State is "merely a technical college" With an array of figures' showing the enrollment in the seven schools of the College, the writer proceeds to prove his point by disclosing that the registration lists of the Schools of Liberal Arts and Education total ed SD and 532 respectively during the academic year of 1927-28, and were surpassed by only two of the technical schools In .the School of Engineering 1,194 students were en rolled, followed by the School of Ag riculture with 611 Educators Endorse Bond Issue The article is pre-fixed by a state ment to the effect that at the business session of the Pennsylvania State Ed ucation association in Lancaster De cember twenty-ninth, the following resolution was approved by unani mous vote: "That the Association endorse the eight million dollar bond issuejcir the erectibn and eqummetn of ,bl;,,ldin,,Ts atiPtainsylaania , State College." "Penn State is asking provision for a better plant because of the tre mendous pressure upon her for ser vice," continues Doctor Peters in ex plaining the Bond Issue amendment to teachers of the State "Between 1005 and 1927 the student body In creased 540 per cent while the ac cumulated investment in plant in creased only 120 pet cent. "In consequence the institution Is terribly overcrowded Attic rooms and basements never intended for that purpose have been pressed into use as classrooms. • Offices and classrooms ass jammed with half again as many persons as should, in the interest of efficiency, be occupy ing them. But even with that the College is unable to meeethe demands made upon it. Annually during the past ten years from 800 to 1,000 candidates have been refused admis sion on account of lack of room for them—approximately the same num ber as could be admitted" Doctor Peters then explains the findings he has made in reference to the probable giowth of Penn State had it not been for the check impos ed by lack of space requisite for the proper educational facilities He de clares that the student body should be twice its present sire if the ap mom lotion had been made for devel oping the College buildings "Certainly such limitation of edu cational opportunity in the State Col lege of the second richest state in the union, in a day characterized e‘eiywhete by educational expansion and progress, Is indefensible," the educator summarises. State Lacks Colleges "Nor is it true," he continues, "as may be supposed, that the slack left by State College is being taken up by pi ivate colleges and universities On the contrary, the aggregate of Pennsylvania colleges is inadequate (Continued on fourth page) Senior Teachers Begin Practice in Johnstown The first of two groups of seniors in the School of Education has started practice teaching in the high and Junior high schools of Johnstown, neem ding to Dean Will G.
