History of Teachers' College HE Teachers' College, which had consisted, prior to 1919, of separate and independent. departments, was reorganized in the year mentioned. All departments Were then amalgamated into a single school and placed under the direction of the Dean of Teachers' College. The present Dean, George E. VValk, has been Dean of Teachers' College ever since it was organized. Teachers' College owes its origin to a desire to satisfy present demand for the best possible professional training for teachers in prospect and teachers in service. It is composed of nine departments: Commercial Education, Elementary Education, Early Childhood, llusic, Xursing, Physical, Religious, Secondary, and Home Economics. The University offers, each semester at special hours, instruction in subjects that maybe credited toward requirements for a Bachelor ot Science degree in Edu- cation. Courses are given in the late afternoon and early evening and on Saturday morning for teachers of Philadelphia and adjacent places who are'not able to attend classes prescribed on the regular roster. Teachers in great numbers have taken advantage of this opportunity which makes it possible for them to retain regular positions while studying for a degree. All curricula of Teachers' College are organized so as to ensure the certification of all graduates by the Pennsylvania Department of Public Instruction. It should also be noted that, through reciprocal recognition, , credentials accepted by Pennsylvania are honored by niost other states as well. The College offers courses leading to the Following deffrees: Bachelor of D O 27 D Science in Education, lVlaster of Education, and Doctor of Education. Page Twentyffour
