Supervision of the Education for Out-Of-School Youth and Adults as a Function of State Departments of Education. Bulletin, 1940, No. 6. Monograph No. 12
Author: Gaumnitz, W. H.
Date: 1941-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Adult Education,Illiteracy,Vocational Rehabilitation,Out of School Youth,Radio,Institutionalized Persons,Correctional Institutions,State Departments of Education,State Schools,Supervision,Government Role,Literacy Education,Citizenship Education,Correctional Education,Educational Administration

This study attempts to show the parts played by the State departments of education relative to general comprehensive programs of adult education, illiteracy eradication, and Americanization; adult-education programs of the Works Progress Administration and the National Youth Administration; educational programs of the Civilian Conservation Corps camps; adult-education radio programs; public-forum programs; educational programs in State prisons; and rehabilitation. The general purpose of the study is to present information showing: (1) The legal administrative status of the various fields of adult education; (2) the provisions made for a State supervisory personnel; (3) the objectives sought and the supervisory procedures most commonly and successfully followed; and (4) the major difficulties seen by the State school authorities as retarding or blocking progress in each field. In order to better understand what State departments of education are doing and have done in the field of adult education, efforts will also be made to throw some light on the historical development of existing programs and activities, to show the direction of the discernible trends, and to suggest the present scope of such education. Since the problems of supporting the programs of adult education are of prime importance to their development and progress, facts concerning the State's part in financing this field will also receive attention. Individual chapters contain footnotes. [A section on vocational rehabilitation by H. L. Stanton is included. Best copy available has been provided.]
Supervision of the Education of Negroes as a Function of State Departments of Education. Bulletin, 1940, No. 6. Monograph No. 11

Because of the individual authority of each State for its own educational program, practices and policies differ widely among them in many respects. Yet in the midst of differences there are also common elements of development. The U. S. Office of Education, in presenting this series of monographs, has attempted to point out those common elements, to analyze the differences, and to present significant factors in State educational structure. In so doing, it accedes to the requests of a large number of correspondents who are students of State school administration and who have experienced the need for the type of material offered in this series. The report included in the present monograph deals with the origin and historical development, functions, and activities of the supervision of Negro education as observed in 16 of the 17 States having separate schools for the Negro and white races. These special supervisory activities were made necessary by the additional responsibilities growing out of the dual systems of schools. In addition to improving instruction, the supervisors having charge of these special activities had as their function changing public opinion toward the education of Negroes, and the promotion of interracial good will. This bulletin contains the following five chapters: (1) Introduction; (2) Origin and Historical Development; (3) Promotional and Administrative Activities; (4) Objectives and Activities of Supervisory Program; and (5) Conclusions. (Contains 4 tables and 9 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

Because of the individual authority of each State for its own educational program, practices and policies differ widely among them in many respects. Yet in the midst of differences there are also common elements of development. The U. S. Office of Education, in presenting this series of monographs, has attempted to point out those common elements, to analyze the differences, and to present significant factors in State educational structure. In so doing, it accedes to the requests of a large number of correspondents who are students of State school administration and who have experienced the need for the type of material offered in this series. The report included in the present monograph deals with one of the more recent developments in State educational administration and supervision--namely, that related to the education of exceptional children. Initiated by the State through residential institutions and by local school districts to meet local needs, programs of special education for the handicapped and the gifted have steadily gained ground as essential to the complete functioning of the State's educational system. As a result, one State after another is encouraging a bureau or a division or a section in its State education department designed particularly to look after the educational interests of those who need special adjustments because of a marked deviation from normal physical, mental, or emotional condition. To describe the organization and supervisory functions and activities of such programs is the aim of this bulletin. The first part of this document presents a general survey, which chapters focused on basic legal provisions, organization of State supervisory programs, State supervisory functions and activities, State regulations and standards, and a report on a conference of State directors and supervisors of special education. Part II covers specific State programs in California, Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut, Delaware, Wyoming, Maryland, Kentucky, Minnesota, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. (Contains 3 tables and 79 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

Because of the individual authority of each State for its own educational program, practices and policies differ widely among them in many respects. Yet in the midst of differences there are also common elements of development. The U. S. Office of Education, in presenting this series of monographs, has attempted to point out those common elements, to analyze the differences, and to present significant factors in State educational structure. In so doing, it accedes to the requests of a large number of correspondents who are students of State school administration and who have experienced the need for the type of material offered in this series. The present publication is one of the series of monographs dealing with supervision. Essentially it includes discussion of the history and development of secondary school supervision, the supervisory personnel, the functions performed, the activities engaged in, and the working relationships which facilitate supervision at this level. Services rendered by personnel assigned to both high-school supervision and supervision of vocational education are included. Sections in this monograph include: (1) Development; (2) Organization and Personnel; (3) Functions; (4) Activities; (5) Cooperative Relationships; and (6) Some Recurring Practices.

Because of the individual authority of each State for its own educational program, practices and policies differ widely among them in many respects. Yet in the midst of differences there are also common elements of development. The U. S. Office of Education, in presenting this series of monographs, has attempted to point out those common elements, to analyze the differences, and to present significant factors in State educational structure. In so doing, it accedes to the requests of a large number of correspondents who are students of State school administration and who have experienced the need for the type of material offered in this series. The report included in this monograph deals with supervision at the elementary school level. About 40 years ago the Wisconsin Department of Education first made definite provision for elementary school supervision. Since that time most of the 48 States have provided some type of elementary school supervision, although a few still limit that help to certain aspects of supervision such as State examinations, curriculum making, or inspection. A description of the organization and function of supervisory programs, and of the activities and working relationships of the State elementary supervisors is presented in this bulletin. It is divided into four chapters, as follows: (1) Organization for Elementary Supervision; (2) Supervisory Objectives and Activities; (3) Cooperating Relationships; and (4) Significant Features of Supervision at the Elementary Level. A classified index of States is included. (Contains 3 tables and 28 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

Because of the individual authority of each State for its own educational program, practices and policies differ widely among them in many respects. Yet in the midst of differences there are also common elements of development. The U. S. Office of Education, in presenting this series of monographs, has attempted to point out those common elements, to analyze the differences, and to present significant factors in State educational structure.

Because of the individual authority of each State for its own educational program, practices and policies differ widely among them in many respects. Yet in the midst of differences there are also common elements of development. The U. S. Office of Education, in presenting this series of monographs, has attempted to point out those common elements, to analyze the differences, and to present significant factors in State educational structure. In so doing, it accedes to the requests of a large number of correspondents who are students of State school administration and who have experienced the need for the type of material offered in this series. The present monograph deals primarily with the administrative and professional functions and services of State departments of education involved in the preservice education of teachers; it treats of the overhead organization and administration of 107 teacher-education institutions governed by State boards of education and of the supervision or coordination of 1,089 other publicly and privately controlled institutions that prepare teachers; and it deals incidentally with State teacher personnel functions closely related to the education of teachers, such as teacher certification and placement. Chapters include: (1) Introduction; (2) Overhead Control and Coordination of Institutions that Educate Teachers; (3) Composition and Personnel of State Boards and Departments of Education in Relation to Institutional Government; (4) Administrative and Supervisory Functions and Services; (5) Specific Methods of Rendering Services; and (6) Summary of Suggestions and Proposals for Improvement.

Because of the individual authority of each State for its own educational program, practices and policies differ widely among them in many respects. Yet in the midst of differences there are also common elements of development. The U. S. Office of Education, in presenting this series of monographs, has attempted to point out those common elements, to analyze the differences, and to present significant factors in State educational structure. In so doing, it accedes to the requests of a large number of correspondents who are students of State school administration and who have experienced the need for the type of material offered in this series. The report included in the present monograph deals with the historical development, functions, and activities in the pupil personnel area. Specifically, the report covers compulsory school attendance, school census, child labor, guidance, evaluation, and measurement. While State laws regulating compulsory education, the taking of the school census, and child labor often give joint responsibility to State and local authorities, this bulletin is concerned only with the functions exercised by State authorities. It is presented in three parts: (1) Compulsory School Attendance, the School Census, and Child Labor; (2) Guidance in State Departments of Education; and (3) Evaluation and Measurement.

Because of the individual authority of each State for its own educational program, practices and policies differ widely among them in many respects. Yet in the midst of differences there are also common elements of development. The U. S. Office of Education, in presenting this series of monographs, has attempted to point out those common elements, to analyze the differences, and to present significant factors in State educational structure. In so doing, it accedes to the requests of a large number of correspondents who are students of State school administration and who have experienced the need for the type of material offered in this series. The report included in the present monograph deals with the kind of assistance given by State departments of education with regard to school plant problems. Until comparatively recently State departments of education did little to assist local communities on school plant problems. However, such assistance has become an increasingly important part of State department work because: (1) there has been a steadily growing recognition of the relationship of the functional planning of school buildings to the development of a well- rounded, modern curriculum; (2) the importance of adequate standards for lighting, ventilation, heating, etc., is more widely recognized; and (3) the movement toward large centralized schools instead of small one- and two-room buildings requires technical advice  and direction which many local communities are not in a position to furnish. To describe the organization and functions of school building work in State departments is the aim of this bulletin, which is divided into the following three chapters: (1) Organization of School Building Work in State Departments of Education; (2) Functions and Procedures of State Departments of Education with Regard to School Building Work; and (3) Descriptions of School Building Work in 8 State Departments of Education. The following are appended: (1) Charts Showing the Location of School Building Work in 22 State Departments of Education; (2) School Building Surveys Published by State Departments of Education; (3) Bibliography of Printed Standards on School Buildings Published by State Departments of Education; and (4) Tables I through VIII.

Science and Mathematic in Public High Schools, 1958. Part 1: General Facilities and Equipment. Bulletin, 1960, No. 6. OE-29006
Author: Obourn, Ellsworth S.

The Congress of the United States, in passing the National Defense Education Act of 1958, reflected an ever increasing desire on the part of the Nation to improve the teaching of science and mathematics in its schools. The lack of adequate facilities and equipment had long been considered a major handicap to effective science and mathematics instruction. Practically no data were available, however, to indicate the specific kinds of equipment that were lacking or to judge the adequacy or inadequacy of facilities in public high schools of different types and sizes. Information was not available, either, to indicate whether these schools provided better equipment and facilities for some subject areas than for others. This study was undertaken to supply data which could be helpful in locating the shortages and showing their nature. It is hoped that the present bulletin will point the way to effective use of funds now available for science and mathematics facilities and equipment through the National Defense Education Act, and will highlight those problems in achieving improved teaching of the two subjects which may require a study more intensive than that permitted by the scope of this bulletin. Questionnaires are appended. A bibliography is included. Individual sections contain footnotes. (Contains 8 figures and 24 tables.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
Administration of Higher Education: An Annotated Bibliography. Bulletin, 1960, No. 7. OE-53002. [Foreword - Chapter VII]
Author: Eells, Walter Crosby

Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Higher Education,College Administration,Annotated Bibliographies,Periodicals,Federal Government,Administrative Organization

Professional literature on American higher education is vast and varied. Bibliographic items on college and university administration alone indicate that perhaps twenty thousand books, pamphlets, and magazine articles have appeared in print since 1950. Because the range and quality of the literature on university administration are so great, the staff of the Division of Higher Education found it necessary to develop for its own use the selected and annotated bibliography published herewith. It is the basic list of 2,708 items, that except for a few dozen relatively ageless general references, appeared in print between 1950 and midsummer 1959. The bibliography is not intended to meet the specialized reference needs of deans, registrars, business officers, or directors of faculty and student personnel services, but it is hoped that it will prove a convenient aid to busy executives and students of higher education administration. This bulletin is the first part of a three-part volume. It contains the following sections: (1) Foreword; (2) Introduction; (3) Periodicals Cited; (4) Chapter I: General and Reference; (5) Chapter II: Functions and Organization; (6) Chapter III: Federal Relations; (7) Chapter IV: Regional Organizations; (8) Chapter V: Statewide Administration; (9) Chapter VI: Institutional Boards of Control; and (10) Chapter VII: Officers of administration. (Contains 1 footnote.) [Due to its size, this volume has been processed as three separate parts. The first part includes the foreword through Chapter VII. The second part includes Chapters VIII and IX. The third part includes Chapter X through the index. The cover page and table of contents are repeated in the second and third parts. For the other parts of this volume, see "Chapter VIII - Chapter IX" (ED543946) and "Chapter X - Index" (ED543947). Best copy available has been provided.]
