Counseling and Education for the Veteran in Rural Communities
Authors: Schuler Edgara , Ensminger Douglas
Published: March 2007

In short, the real work of rehabilitation must be done in the local community. There are two points that can never be stressed too much: That every veteran is in need of some sort of rehabilitation, and that the job must be done in the local community. It is the job of the local community to make the veteran a civilian again, to train him to think, feel, and act like a civilian once more.1 Willard Waller.

A. Planning and Writing Supervised Correspondence Courses
Authors: Beales Ruth , Rowbotham Alice
Published: March 2007

WE have established by now a valuable new educational tool, adaptable to a variety of uses. The next question, then, is: How do we use it? What must we do—how should we organize—to help it operate at maximum efficiency?

Since supervised correspondence instruction is necessarily a matter of teamwork, we shall need to look at the role of the correspondence center in preparing instructional materials and in teaching the pupils; at the role of the local school in guiding the pupil's choices and supervising his work; and at the role of other state agencies from a legal and technical standpoint.

1Miss Vibella Martin, now Coordinator of Curriculum in the Tamalpais Union High School District, established the pattern used at California in the studybooks for civics, shorthand, and mathematics, developing appreciation and use of important ideas and skills, using the best in teaching methods and indicating opportunities for the applica tion of these basic ideas beyond the confines of the courses.
What Parents Think of Their Schools and What They Know About Them
Authors: Hines Vynce A. , Grobman Hulda
Published: March 2007

The University of Florida-CPEA Project has had as its purpose the description of how principals work with others—parents, teachers, and pupils—and how variations in these working patterns have differential consequences in such phases of school operations as attitude of parents, human relations among pupils and teachers, teaching methods stressed by teachers, program development within schools, and pupil achievement. Claims for certain types of administrative behavior have been evaluated against consequences in practice and the evidence indicates thus far, that how the principal does his job does make a difference. This article is a report on a part of the results of this project. The November 1956 issue of THE BULLETIN contains another report on this project. It is entitled "What Makes a Good Principal?"

With a supplementary grant from the Kellogg Foundation, a new study is underway to test. out the consequences of a program of leadership train ing embodying recent advances in personality theory, perception psy chology, group process, and leadership research findings to see whether or not the more effective behavior patterns which have been identified can be developed among a group of principals.
An Exploratory Psychology Course for Teenagers
Authors: Bryant Larry W.
Published: March 2007

I am interested in taking psychology because I believe it would help me understand other people better and would help improve myself in the eyes of them.

I think a course in psychology would be helpful to me because I plan to major in that line in college. This would be like a preparatory course for me. As for others, psychology would be helpful in the understanding of man's mind and his everyday problems and how to cope with them.

I would like to take psychology in high school as I plan to major in mental hygiene when I attend college.
Improving the Secondary School Program
Authors: Norton Monte S.
Published: March 2007

All who desire to be called teachers should be interested in con tinuous personal growth in their profession.

Automation
Authors: Curtis Thomas B.
Published: March 2007

The anatomical study of the fossilized remains does not tell us when man emerged, and we must have recourse to other methods of approaching the question. Bergson's answer to it is often quoted. Man, he said, appeared on earth at the time when weapons and tools were first fashioned. For the paleontologist, as for the student of pre-history, the phenomenon of man's becom ing man is contemporary with the first appearance in history of implements.

Adolescent academic underachievers are not well thought of in the adult academic com munity. Neither are they well understood—by themselves or their elders. One school tells here of its program to help each group get to under stand the other somewhat better and, in the process, bring underachievement under control.
Independent Study
Authors: Richardson Don H.
Published: March 2007

It may not be surprising that words of praise for independent study as a way of learning are more commonly heard than are hard facts in support of these claims. But it is reassuring to encounter a school willing to submit this new element and its program to careful examina tion—especially when the results come out the way one hopes they will.

The Large High School in Its Social Context
Authors: Rhea Buford
Published: March 2007

"It is common to base educational decisions on non-educational grounds, and the very normalcy of this procedure illustrates the central thesis of the present discussion: education is a 'pre carious' value; it is always in danger of being subordinated to other goals unless special pro vision is made for its support."

The Potential of Vocational Education
Authors: Kaufman Jacob J. , Lewis Morgan V.
Published: March 2007

"Vocational education has the potential for making the school experience relevant. Much work must be done if this potential is to be achieved. New types of programs must be de signed and tested. Old styles of administration will have to be replaced. New teachers and ad ministrators will have to be trained and old ones retrained. But these are operational problems that can be overcome. They must be overcome if ways are to be found to make education mean ingful for those students who presently waste their high school years."*

An "average" student is anything but average. In this paper, Slater and Strehle report study results which debunk the mythology so uncon cernedly responsible for the label of "average" which is so misused because misunderstood.

The City As School
Authors: Levine Daniel U.
Published: March 2007

"Anyone who has ever taught children surely recognizes that schooling will be relatively in effective when either its goals or its methods are at odds with competing forces in the student's environment.

"From the very beginning, a deliberate effort was made to operate the summer program as differently from regular school as possible. No bells were used. Teachers were asked to sched ule their teaching time as they saw fit. Dress was informal, with shorts being the order of the day for students and occasionally for teach ers. This represented a decided departure from the regular school scene in Ontario."

Black or Negro History? A Crossroads in Concept
Authors: Cuban Larry
Published: March 2007

"Negro history advocates put the most empha sis on an integrated, balanced presentation of information in the hope that interracial rela tions will improve and racial identity will emerge.

Shortcomings of American Textbooks
Authors: Drachler Norman
Published: March 2007

"My plea is that we re-examine our texts and our history—not to distort the truth or to con ceal shortcomings—but to re-evaluate the ques tion, 'Who is an American—and what is a worthy American deed?' If we do that, then I am certain that more children in our urban schools will achieve through the texts a sense of identity with our nation—and a feeling of worthiness and dignity so essential to learning."

Authors: Miller Bernard S.
Published: March 2007

The administration and faculty of Hunter Col lege High School asked a variety of students and teachers from grades seven through twelve to meet together and be televised as they spoke on the topic, "What it means to be a black or Puerto Rican student at Hunter." A 20-minute program was edited from more than two hours of discussions and each class was given time to see the program on closed circuit television and then spend an entire afternoon meeting in small groups. For many, the criticisms of some routine procedures came as a shock. Certainly the entire school was sensitized to the real prob lems of minority feelings. Curriculum change was also a direct outcome of this televised discussion.
Putting the Negro Into U.S. History
Authors: Franklin Hurt N.
Published: March 2007

"The new course of study seeks to keep the Negro in focus as a constant and natural par ticipant in U.S. history.

The Uses of Measurement In Individualized Education
Authors: Turnbull William W.
Published: March 2007

"... Evaluation should be an aspect of instruc tion rather than something apart from it. It should, moreover, be a device for continuous feedback of information to the teacher and especially to the student to guide him along alternate pathways, rather than a reward-punish ment device whereby the teacher conveys approval or disapproval of a student's effort."
Doing Better with What You Have
Authors: Trump J. Lloyd , Georgiades William
Published: March 2007

Most educators acknowledge the necessity of change, and no educator of any stature seeks to avoid it. However, few efforts have been made to examine the entire educational process, with a commitment to a wholesale change in all the aspects of teaching and learning (the principal's role, teaching roles, individual student roles, curriculum revision, evaluation methods, money, and facilities), while utilizing existing educa tional facilities. The model discussed here is a combination of old and new ideas into a total system, in which innovations in every aspect of the educational process have to occur.

Published: March 2007

"After observing the dismal results some districts have obtained from hiring 'change agents' who thrust new programs at teachers in the manner of faith healers, the pilot team involved with East's program insisted that teachers had to want it and had to ask for it before it would be expanded.

The data-gathering instrument used for the re search reported here was "... designed to ob tain descriptions of a leader by the members of the group he leads."

Authors: Heesacker Frank L.

Four Key Issues in the 1969-70 School Integration Crisis
Authors: Cooper Charles R.
Published: March 2007

This fall the mass media hailed desegregation achievements in the South as a possible break through and suggested, in one case, that "all but a few pockets of segregation" were being wiped out.

But the picture was still confused by con flicting court rulings, ambiguous official state ments, and statistics that conceal more than they reveal.

As the BULLETIN went to press, the U.S. Supreme Court was working on three key decisions that would soon be made public. Hopefully, they will clarify such questions as: How much mixing of black and white pupils must a district do to qualify as "desegregated"? Must there be a racial balance in every school in a district? Or can predominantly black schools be permitted in all-black neighborhoods? Is massive "cross-busing" of both black and white pupils required to overcome de facto segregation that results from racial housing patterns?

In this article Mr. Cooper offers both analysis and opinion on the current integration crisis. The NASSP does not necessarily share his views and welcomes contrary opinions for publication in later issues of the BULLETIN.
