PURPOSE OF THE COLLEGE
Clarion State College is officially maintained for the education and preparation of teachers for the public school? of Pennsylvania.
Three curricula of specialized type are offered in professional edu- cation: library science; elennentary education; and secondary education.
Teacher preparation requires a progrann through which college graduates come to perform the offices of private person and public teacher in accord with qualities of good citizenship.
Therefore, each curriculum includes required studies in English expression, social studies, literature, fine arts, and science, all of which express the social heritage and convey customs and practices of dem- ocratic kind.
Professional preparation in each curriculum is based upon adequa-'e mastery of subject matter which Is designed to give proficiency in teaching and upon adequate knowledge of psychology and philosophy to enable teachers to interest and instruct pupils.
Special Objectives:
1. To develop an understanding and appreciation of American democracy and the function of the public school In a demo- cratic society.
2. To develop respect for the rights, responsibilities, and v/elfare of others.
3. To emphasize the moral, spiritual, and aesthetic values which will strengthen the individual In his personal and professlonai life.
4. To guide students so as to encourage ihem to enter the pro- fession and continue In it.
5. To promote an understanding of children and youth In rela- tion to their Individual differences, ihe nature of the learn- ing process, developmental behavior, and the Interadion or the individual with the group.
6. To ensure the student's ability to read, write, and speak effec- tively.
7. To promote use of reflective thinking In problem solving.
8. To ensure that the student is capable of developing the scope and sequence of the courses of study within his areas of cer- tification.
9. To provide college classroom Instruction which Is designea to help prospective teachers develop methodology for their own classrooms.
10. To encourage students to practice recrea-Ional activities, both physical and mental, for wholesome enjoyment of leisure time now and in later life.

The college is located in Clarion, county seat of one of the nnost beautiful areas of western Pennsylvania. From their siie on an eleva- tion in the eastern part of this attractive town of 5000 population, the college buildings overlook the Clarion River and survey the surrounding hills.
Clarion County lies within easy driving distance of coal, oil, and gas fields and is therefore near to industrial areas of a diversified character. This makes possible for our students on-the-spot study of industry without the necessity of living in it.
Located as they are in the trout fishing and deer hunting area of the state, with clear, invigorating air and pleasant, healthful sur- roundings. Clarion and the college offer an environment conducive to a nice blending of sludy, recreation, and happy living.

(a) Earn the number of hours required in actual student teaching,

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS ART
The courses of the Art Department are structured to develop an under- standing of the place of the visual arts in education and society. Specific courses related to public school art at the elementary level emphasize the relationship of Art to other curricular areas, investigate creative growth and pro- vide studio experiences in various media and processes. The Art Department also offers a number of elective courses which afford the student advanced work in both two and three dimensions expression.
Art Oil: Art Fundamentals 1 s. h.
A course in the basic fundamentals of artistic expression. Principles of design and their application to art products are discussed and made meaning- ful through actual studio work. Techniques and various approaches to basic skills in drawing, color, texture, form and space are given attention. This course is recommended for all students with limited background in art.
