$15,000 A Year For Teachers The following is a reproduction of an article appearing in The Pennsylvania State Education Association Reporter, Volume 31, Number 28, May 27, 1933. A widely-known educator has suggested that a classroom teacher who can qualify as a "master teacher" receive a beginning jalary of $15,000 a year. If ne or she cannot so qualify, said Samuel A. Kirk, director, institute for research on exceptional children, University of Illinois, Urbana, but shows .;ume managerial ability, "she or he can be employed as a principal at $12,000." "If the principal is not successful as a manager of a school, but is adequate in politics and public relations', we can employ him or her as superintendent or director of special education for $10,000 a year," Kirk said. The Illinois psychologist proposed to the 41st annual International Convention of the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) meeting in Philadelphia in April that teachers! be trained in a six-year college course. He criticized what he called the "usual procedure" of taking good .teachers out of classrooms and "giving them administrative jobs that pay more." Last December, President Kennedy, acting in behalf of the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., Foundation, presented Kirk with a personal grant of $25,000, plus $50,000 to support his research program. Kirk's contributions to the literature on special education have found their way to teachers in virtually every language and every country. PCEP Internships Now Are Available Applications for the 1964 political internship program of the Pennsylvania Center for Education in Politics may now be obtained from the P.C.E.P. campus advisbr(s) Dr. Byron Fleck and Louis J. Phillips or by writing to: Dr. Sidnew Wise, Director Pennsylvania Center for Education in Politics, Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Under the P.C.E.P. program, interships may be arranged with United States Senators and Representatives in their Washington offices. The internships' will begin on June 8, 1964 for a period of eight weeks. Salary will be $60.00 per week. Internships may also be arranged with state Dor local political organizations, pressure groups, citizens committees, or candidates. Salaries and scheduling are subject to approval. Applicants must have an unusual interest or background in partisan politics but the program is not restricted to political science or social science majors. Further details may be obtained from campus advisors. James Sabraw and Joseh K. Hall English Club President Jim Sabraw presents Autographed books to Mr. Joseph K. Hall, Head Librarian. This Is Philips Library by Sue Combellack Most students are surprised to learn that the West Chester State College has a rare and valuable collection of over two thousand autographed books. This collection is one of the largest of its kind in the world. Dr. George Morris Philips, President of the West Chester State Normal School from 1881 until his death in 1920, began the collection in 1885 when he sent a volume of poetry to its author, John Greenleaf Whittier. The package was carefully enclosed with a return wrapper, the proper return postage, and a request for an autograph. Dr. Philips' first success encouraged him to begin a collection that has' been expanding right up to the present day. Since 1920, the English Club has collected overy fifty additions and presented them to the college to continue the collection. The most recent additions include James A. Michener's Hawaii and John Ciardi's In Fact. Many authors wrote personal messages to Dr. Philips in their books'. Booth Tarkington wrote in his Conquest of Canaan: "Gladly inscribed for George Morris Philips', Esq., now chief of an institution, in an auditorium of which—some twenty years ago this winter of 1912—a boy of the Princeton Glee Club sang a 'Bass' Solo,' yet departed unslain, and finally wrote this book." When Dr. Philips unwittingly sent George Bernard Shaw a pirated edition of his An Unsocialist,Unsocialist, Mr. Shaw returned it with the following comment: "■Contraband copy smuggled into the United Kingdom by an enterprising American, who sent it to the author with a request to autograph it and smuggle it out again. America is welcome to the book, but really, to demand autographs into the bargain isl quite unreasonable." Dr. Philips had some difficulty obtaining autographs from Leo Tolstoi, because the books were always' confiscated at the Russian border. Finally he obtained the aid of the American Ambassador, who took in a volume and promised to return it signed. Unfortunately, the book never came back. After the Russo-Japanese War, Dr. Philips tried again, and succeeded in getting an autograph in a copy of Anna Karenina. When Tolstoi's son, Count Ilya Tolstoi, visited West Chester some years ago, he autographed his father's War and Peace, writting:"The greatest of my father's books." Some authors displayed a sense of humor. James Russell Lowell poked fun at himself when he wrote under a portrait of himself: "Upon my soul as I hope for bliss I look not half so grim as this." These are only a few of the many messages' inscribed by writers of the past and present. Some are humorous, many are serious, and all are fasccinating.

"Barricades Fall" by Robert Willar The West Chester State Little Theatre opened its 1963-64 season with a four day presentation of To the Barricades, a new play by Harry G. Toland. It is this individual's sad duty to report that the opening was an abject failure. During his career, Mr. Toland has made a pass at labor mediation and at playwriting; it is unfortunate that both efforts were abortive. From the beginning, it was evident that the play was a poor one; viewing it produced a tedium not unlike that of watching a tone arm travel through the grooves of a longplaying record. As the night wore on, a more-than-strong will was required to remain within hearing distance of the actors as they gallantly attempted to save an already sunken ship. The few meaningful lines which were accidentally interdispersed in remarkably dull dialogue were more than overshadowed by inane chatter. The theme of the play was a timely one; however, its impact was lost, so ineffectively were the ideas presented.Mr. Dißiasio, in the role of Paddy Noonan, the labor boss', had a great weight indeed to bear as the task of carrying the entire show fell to him. Save him, the characters were unbelievably shallow and unconvincing. In a role which offered great challenge, Mr. Heebner managed splendidly to evade this challenge by doing little more than reciting his lines. Mr. Jenner and Miss Mansi were Mr. Jenner and Miss MansiMansi respectively while Messers Pennypacker, Freed, and Newborg, unmistakably attempting to portray the roughneck personality, succeeded only in perpetuating the monotony. Occasionally offering assistance to Mr. Dißiasio were Mr. Herter, the aged reporter; and Mr. Morris, the reverend, who tooth provided the much needed comic relief. Moving to the technical aspects again brings' the note of failure. The lighting design was sufficient had the direction been under the control of a puppet-master, for almost any movement on stage took the actor either out of the range of the light or into a brash flood of light. Makeup was' also unsatisfactor; this fact was especially evident in the supposedly greying hair of the editor and the entire figure of the aged reporter, whose pasty-facedness was stretched into an Emmett Kelly image. In closing, this individual would agree with the director's note "that the choice of plays is paramount." After attending To The Barricades, however, he would question the wisdom of choice— To The Barricades is so devoid of merit that it can hardly be classified as literature, not to mention drama. Perhaps the directors of Little Theatre were attempting to present criteria for judgment. If this were the case, they most certainly presented the negative first, as it is doubtful that the stage will see worse for a long time to come. Faculty Who's Who by Betty Anne Dotsey Dr. Benedict B. O'Malley, who was the Dean of Science at St. John Fisher College, and acting Dean of Science and Director of Development of the Monroe Community College in Rochester, New York, last year, is the new Chairman of our Science Department. He is also professor of biochemistry and physiology. Judy Hanschmann, a fresh man in the mathematics liberal arts course, is pinned to Jim Steurerwald, a sophomore at Mount Saint Mary's' College in Maryland. Mr. Steurerwald is majoring in biology. If you have just gotten pinned or engaged, QUAD ANGLES would like to know. Contact Tommye Lynn Mallory, Ext. 312. In a recent interview, Dr. O'Malley stated that he came to West Chester to develop our undergraduate science department. He also wants to develop our graduate science department in the field of bio-chemistry. His aim is to make West Chester a leader in the areas of bio-physiology and bio-medical electronics. Dr. O'Malley has had many works published, some of which are academic manuals in physic •, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physical biochemstry, anatomy, physiology, bacteriology, and biology. He worked on his forthcoming book, Biochemical Physiology, .vith Dr. Musjachio of St. Louis Jniversity, and Dr. Fluss of the University of Rochester, Collage of Medicine and Dentistry. His A.B. degree was.1 conferr :d upon Dr. O'Malley by Fordham University. He received joth his M.S. and his Ph.D. Ahere his major fields were biochemistry and physiology. Dr. O'Malley did special studies in biochemistry and pharmacology under Dr. John V. Scudy at Columbia University. We are quite happy to welcome Dr. O'Malley to our campus and to our faculty. His experience in administrative affairs and his extensive knowledge in his' fields of study and research will undoubtedly be a tremendous aid to the further development of our department of science.
