More than 1,000 institutions of higher learning in the United States are now offering work of  college grade to some 900,000 students. These institutions include regular 4-year colleges and universities, independent professional schools specializing in law, medicine, dentistry,  theology, engineering, etc., 2-year junior colleges, colleges for training teachers, and colleges especially for Negro youth. Many inquiries are sent to the Bureau of Education from prospective students who wish to know of the possibilities of self-help in this or that institution. Such information from an unbiased and authoritative source is clearly necessary to enable young men and women and their parents to decide intelligently the momentus question of college attendance. This bulletin contains advice on the transition from high school to college, the financial cost of university, how to obtain student loans, different job prospects for students, as well as how to earn one's way through school.  Also included is a directory by States for institutions of higher learning.  (Contains 3 footnotes and 5 tables.)  [Best copy available has been provided.]

This bulletin contains abstracts of addresses delivered at a 2-day conference of State and county rural-school supervisors of the Northeastern States, called by the United States Commissioner of Education in New York City, New York, April 23 and 24, 1928. Abstracts were prepared from manuscripts submitted by the authors. The conference was the third regional supervisory conference sponsored by the United States Bureau of Education. Reports of preceding conferences held in 1925 and 1926, were published as Bulletins, 1926, No. 12, and 1927, No. 24 of the Bureau of Education. The conference was attended by more than 100 rural education workers, most of whom are engaged in State and local supervision. The States represented were Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The conference was formally opened by the Commissioner of Education, Dr. John J. Tigert. He explained briefly his interest and that of the Bureau of Education in assisting the extension of rural-school supervision and promoting more efficient supervisory procedures. The program presented was arranged to consider seven large problems: (1) Improvement of supervisory techniques; (2) The effect of larger rural schools on the solution of supervisory problems; (3) Development of a supervisory program leading to closer integration between the work of those responsible for pre-service and those responsible for in-service preparation of teachers; (4) Types of supervisory assistance most effective in meeting the needs of certain teaching and pupil groups; (5) Contributions of State departments of public instruction to the education of mentally handicapped children in rural communities; (6) Equalizing educational opportunity for exceptional children in rural schools; and (7) Achievements and plans of the northeastern supervisory conference. Under each of these at least one major paper or address was presented, followed by free discussion from the floor. (Individual abstracts contain footnotes.)

Illiteracy in the Several Countries of the World. Bulletin, 1929, No. 4
Author: Abel, James F.
Date: 1929-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Illiteracy,Political Divisions (Geographic),Global Education,Statistical Data,Evaluation Criteria,Census Figures,Age Differences,Statistical Analysis,Maps,Race,Womens Education,Minority Groups,Educational Attitudes,Literacy,Tables (Data),Foreign Countries

The main purpose in preparing this bulletin is to assemble so far as practicable and publish in brief form such official statistics as are available on illiteracy in the various countries of the world, to tell where those data may be found, and if possible, to give a general estimate of  world-wide illiteracy. Incidental to this purpose, it becomes necessary to show the high  percentage of the world's population for which statistics of illiteracy are not gathered; to indicate the unreliability of many of the popularly quoted statistics; and to voice the need for common criteria in determining what illiteracy is and the age groups to which they should apply, in order that the data may be more comparable and a truer picture of the status of illiteracy may be possible. The schedules for the censuses of the countries of the world of 1930 and thereabouts will soon be arranged. It is hoped that the various kinds of data here presented will, to some extent, help the makers of those schedules to arrange schemes for collecting and reporting that are more nearly common to all countries, so that by 1935 the figures may be presented more clearly, definitely, and comprehensively. Contents include: (1) Introduction; (2) Statistics of illiteracy; (3) Areas of least illiteracy; (4) Political divisions with illiteracy rates between 10 and 50 percent; (5) Political divisions with population over half illiterate; (6) Summary of data presented and of areas for which adequate data are not given; (7) Is illiteracy decreasing?; (8) Illiteracy and age groups.

Digest of Legislation for Education of Crippled Children. Bulletin, 1929, No. 5

Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Educational History,Educational Legislation,Educational Policy,Educational Finance,Public Education,State Policy,Vocational Rehabilitation,Vocational Education,Disabilities,State Aid,State Regulation,Federal Government,Special Classes,State Legislation,Federal Legislation,Special Education,Special Needs Students,Children,Adults,State Schools,Special Schools,Related Services (Special Education)

This study is concerned with legislation for the education of crippled children. Legislation for the education of crippled adults has rapidly increased in recent years.  All of the States except Connecticut, Delaware, Kansas, Maryland, Kentucky, Vermont, and Washington are now cooperating with the Federal Government under the terms of the national civilian vocational rehabilitation act. The national rehabilitation act is broad enough in scope to include vocational training for all persons of disability, whether congenital or caused by accident or disease. Under the rehabilitation laws of many of the States numerous crippled persons including both minors and adults receive vocational education. The first legislative enactments on this subject tended to provide for the establishment of a State institution where crippled children could be sent. The tendency of more recent legislation has been to provide education for such children by means of special classes in local districts. The table and digest presented herein illustrate how the laws reviewed vary in many respects. Some expressly mention "crippled" children; others refer to defective or disabled children. Some require and others authorize special classes. Some require and others authorize State aid, etc. For the purpose of publication the provisions have been arranged in three divisions; namely, local aid, State regulation, and State aid. The first and last divisions are subdivided according as the aid is authorized or required. (Contains 2 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

The training, the tenure, and the professional status of teachers and other professional workers in the rural schools of America are to a large degree circumscribed by the rewards offered, both financial and social. It has long been recognized in a general way that such rewards in rural schools are meager in comparison with those in urban schools and in comparison with those in other gainful occupations. But the detailed facts have not been sufficiently known, and the relationships of these meager salaries to the educational  opportunities of the rural child are not fully realized. This report shows the salary status of the teachers and other professional workers in the rural schools of the United States for the year 1924-25, and it shows the changes that have occurred in these salaries during a period of years. Sections of the report include (1) Introduction; (2) Sources and scope of study; (3) Proportion of counties reporting; (4) General survey of the numbers and percents of rural teachers receiving salaries of various amounts; (5) Salaries of teachers of rural schools compared with salaries of teachers in urban schools; (6) Comparative salaries of teachers and length of school term; (7) Cost of living and rural teachers' salaries; (8) Relationship of training to rural teachers' salaries; (9) Status and progress of salaries in rural schools considered by States; (10) Status and trends of salaries of rural school principals by States; (11) Salaries of county and other rural superintendents of schools in 1922 and 1928; and (12) Conclusions.

This bulletin contains the lists of institutions accredited, approved, or classified by national and regional associations concerned with the progress of higher education in general and special fields. Several associations have undertaken the accrediting of colleges, junior colleges, and teacher-training institutions. While the standards which these organizations employ tend toward uniformity, some variation in them exists due to the necessity of providing for conditions peculiar to the sections of the county covered by the different organizations. Each list of colleges, junior colleges, and teacher-training institutions is therefore accompanied by the standard according to which the institutions have been judged. In addition to these associations, there are several others which have drawn up requirements for the several types of collegiate institutions and although they have not attempted to prepare accredited lists, their activities have had considerable influence on the standards of higher education. The requirements of these organizations are, therefore, also included in the bulletin. The following associations are represented in the bulletin: (1) American Council on Education; (2) Association of American Universities; (3) Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Middle States and Maryland; (4) Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States; (5) New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools; (6) North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools; (7) American Association of Junior Colleges; (8) American Association of Teachers Colleges; (9) American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business; (10) American Association of Schools and Departments of Journalism; (11) Council on Medical Education and Hospitals of the American Medical Association; (12) Dental Educational Council of America; (13) American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy; and (14) American Library Association. For convenience in locating information concerning individual colleges or schools, an index of the names of all the institutions contained in the bulletin is appended.

In the biennium 1926-1928 the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of modern physiology was celebrated. A tercentenary is an exceedingly small fraction of the time since man discovered the use of fire, invented clothes and houses, and began to huddle together under conditions which have rendered knowledge of hygiene imperative to his welfare. It is but a half century since he fully recognized his ubiquitous enemies, bacteria. However, the foundations of physiology and hygiene having been laid, man's brain has been increasingly busy along these lines and even a biennium brings forth knowledge, or applications of knowledge, in school health work that is worth recording. The following topics are addressed in relation to school health work: (1) Medical and dental work; (2) Studies regarding physical defects; (3) Better teeth; (4) Health education; (5) Nutrition; (6) Anthropometry; (7) Physical education; (8) Sanitation; (9) Clothing; (10) Rural schools; (10) Summer camps; (11) Results of school health work; (12) Nurse training; (13) Teacher training; (14) Parent-teachers; (15) Health of the teacher; and (16) Legislation and State supervision.

Anyone who has taken the pains to follow educational direction and administrative action during the past two years will recognize that one of the most important current tendencies in higher education is the desire to obliterate the sharp distinction between college life and life thereafter. The educational program is being directed to service continuously throughout the life of the alumnus. Higher institutions are becoming increasingly the source to which  the alumnus turns when he discovers that he needs further training to improve his economic condition or to enrich his personal life. This biennial survey on higher education focuses specifically on the following eight topics: (1) Human product of the colleges; (2) High schools and the colleges; (3) College cooperation and consolidation; (4) Special periods and services; (5) College religious and social life; (6) Improvement of instruction; (7) Research and graduate work; and (8) Financing higher education.

By the Federal Land Grant Act of July 2, 1862, each State received a grant of land for the purpose of endowing at least one college of agriculture and mechanic arts. The second Morrill Act of 1890 provided for an annual appropriation to each State which was increased by the Nelson amendment of 1907. Since 1911 each State has received $50,000 annually from the United States Treasury for salaries and for facilities of instruction in certain specified subjects in the land-grant colleges and universities. Annual reports on these funds and on the condition of the colleges are required by law to be made to the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture. These reports are edited, consolidated, and interpreted for the benefit of those interested in the progress of the land-grant institutions. This report includes three parts: (I) General: Survey of land-grant colleges and universities, Association of land-grant colleges and universities, and New Federal legislation; (II) Land-grant colleges attended by white students; and (III) Negro land-grant colleges. An index is provided. (Contains 25 tables.) [The best copy of this document available has been provided.]
