The Board of School Commissioners appointed to inquire into the system of instruction in the public schools of Baltimore. This bulletin presents the outcome of such inquiry. It is mainly concerned with a comparison of the Baltimore system of education with the systems found in others of the greater American cities. It will accordingly be of general interest to educational authorities and students of education throughout the country. An index is included. Individual sections contain footnotes. (Contains 25 tables and 13 figures.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
Age and Grade Census of Schools and Colleges: A Study of Retardation and Elimination. Bulletin, 1911, No. 5. Whole Number 451
Author: Strayer, George Drayton
Date: 1911-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Elementary Schools,High Schools,Colleges,Enrollment Trends,Public Schools,Academic Persistence,Attendance Patterns,Age,Urban Areas,Gender Differences,Student Attrition,Grade Repetition,Census Figures

The data which are brought together in this bulletin concern elementary schools, high schools, and colleges, and were collected by a special inquiry of the Bureau of Education in December, 1908. The data collected are significant primarily for the light which they throw upon the problems of retardation and elimination in schools. In two cases the facts presented are analyzed somewhat carefully, viz, the number of children over age and under age, and the relation of the number of children in each grade to the entering group. The tables and diagrams, which bring together these facts of retardation and elimination, will give some indication of the situation for the cities of the United States and will make possible a comparison among the several cities reporting. These data will not fully explain the situation, but they will furnish a form or standard with which any situation can be compared. Not the least value that these statistics will have is the possibility of comparison which they will make possible 5, 10, or even 20 or more years from the present time. (Contains 53 figures and 90 tables.) Individual sections contain footnotes. [Best copy available has been provided.]
Graduate Work in Mathematics in Universities and in Other Institutions of Like Grade in the United States. International Commission on the Teaching of Mathematics, The American Report, Committee No. XII. Bulletin, 1911, No. 6. Whole Number 452

At the Fourth International Congress of Mathematicians, held at Rome in April, 1908, an international commission was organized to make a general study of the progress of mathematical instruction in the various countries. The commission soon found that it was necessary to extend the scope of the investigation to include the teaching of mathematics in higher institutions and elementary schools, thus covering the entire field of instruction in this branch of learning, and this investigation is new proceeding simultaneously in all of the leading countries of the world. The Bureau of Education has assisted the commission by securing information from various institutions in the United States. Nearly 300 individuals who are engaged in giving instruction in mathematics have cooperated in preparing reports setting forth the present status of the subject in this country. The first of these reports is presented in this bulletin, which covers the following topics: (1) General Report: (a) The establishment of advanced instruction in the United States; (b) The graduate student of mathematics at the present day; (c) The organization of advanced mathematical instruction; (d) Teachers; and (e) Study by Americans abroad; (2) Report of subcommittee 1, on course of instruction and the master's degree; (3) Report of subcommittee 2, on preparation for research and the doctor's degree; and (4) Report of subcommittee 3, on the preparation of college and university instructors in mathematics. An index is also included. (Contains 22 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
Mathematics in the Technological Schools of Collegiate Grade in the United States. International Commission on the Teaching of Mathematics, The American Report, Committee No. IX. Bulletin, 1911, No. 9. Whole Number 455

The most striking characteristic of technological as of other forms of education in the United States from the international standpoint is doubtless its extreme range of variation and the impossibility of framing general statements and definitions which shall be free from numerous exceptions. For the purposes of the present report a technological school or department may he defined as one giving systematic instruction in engineering and other forms of applied science to students entering the institution at the average age of 18 or 19, usually on the completion of a high-school course four years in length. The technological instruction aims to qualify its graduates both for immediate usefulness in junior positions in the various branches of engineering, in technical chemistry, in architecture, and for ultimate professional responsibility proportionate to individual capacity, etc. There is danger that in a university the balance may not always be evenly held between the interests of the academic and the technological students, or there maybe an excess of emphasis on abstract science, or the professional spirit of the technological student may suffer impairment from the distractions of academic athletics, etc. An interesting review of present conditions, and particularly of current criticism of the teaching of mathematics to students of engineering, may be found in the reports of the joint meeting of the section on mathematics and on mechanical science and engineering of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Chicago section of the American Mathematical Society. The object of that 1908 report was to present a synopsis of those fundamental principles and methods of mathematics that should constitute the minimum mathematical equipment of the student of engineering. The United States Commissioner of Education, in December, 1909, issued a detailed questionnaire on the teaching of mathematics to a large number of representative colleges of liberal arts and universities. Topics addressed in this questionnaire included: (1) General information; (2) Organization; (3) Curriculum; (4) Aims and methods of teaching--examinations; and (5) Preparation of teachers.

The bibliography of education for 1909-10, as was its immediate predecessor in the series, has been compiled in the library division of the Bureau of Education, which has been aided, in completing the principal sections of the list, by criticisms and additions furnished by prominent educational specialists. In addition to these collaborators in special classes, the entire bibliography, in its preliminary form, was submitted for revision and additions to the librarians of two of the leading pedagogical collections in the country outside of Washington. A period marked by extensive and excellent literary productivity in education, namely, that reaching from July 1, 1909, to June 30, 1910, falls within the scope of this bibliography; but for special reasons a few important titles published earlier or later than these dates have been included. The aim has been to present a thoroughly representative selection from the main classes of educational literature published in English during this period. Of publications in foreign languages, those which were judged to have special significance for American educators have been mentioned. It is believed that the list here given of current proceedings and reports of educational associations will be found especially comprehensive. References have also been made to a considerable number of State and city school documents of importance appealing during the year. Wherever found desirable and practicable, descriptive and critical annotations, either original or quoted from authoritative reviews, have been appended to the titles of books or articles. An author and subject index is included. [Best copy available has been provided.]

Elementary education is that training which by common custom is deemed desirable and necessary for the duties and privileges of citizenship. It is usually made compulsory by law. Like all such definitions, the meaning of this statement becomes clear only through an examination of its interpretation as given in the curricula of the various school systems or in somewhat more specific statements of its content by various individuals. The elementary school strives to give the pupil control over the tools for the acquisition of knowledge, to excite a large number of curiosities, to stimulate thinking, to form the habit of collecting facts with which to think, and to aid the pupil in the formation of right habits of conduct. In this bulletin committees explore various fields of investigation that relate to mathematics in the elementary schools. Contents include the following: (1) Subcommittee 1. Schematic Survey of American Educational Institutions--Their Sequence and Interrelations; (2) Committee No. I. General Elementary Schools; and (3) Committee No. II. Special Kinds of Elementary Schools. An index is included. Individual sections contain footnotes. (Contains 3 tables and 33 figures.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

There are many children in attendance in the public schools of the United States who, for one reason or another, cannot work most satisfactorily to themselves or others when classified with the great majority of the children. School authorities have seen for many years that the presence of such children in the regular classes is detrimental to the progress of both the exceptional and non-exceptional. This bulletin has set forth the results of the investigations and suggestions and recommendations to the public-school workers of the country in regard to the educational care these children need. This bulletin contains the following chapters: (1) The discovery of the exceptional child; (2) Proportions of school populations composed of exceptional children; (3) The classification of exceptional children; (4) Methods for determining the extent and degree of retardation in city school systems; (5) Provision for exceptional children in city school systems; (6) Grading and promotion, with special reference to the needs of exceptional children; (7) Descriptions of work done for exceptional children in American school systems; and (8) The selection and training of teachers. A brief bibliography and an index is included. (Contains 5 figures and 2 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
The Educational System of China as Recently Reconstructed. Bulletin, 1911, No. 15. Whole Number 462

When we think of China, with a history dating back more than 4,000 years, with a national literature not excelled by that of any other ancient people, a system of government conducted by her ablest scholars, chosen for more than 12 centuries by competitive examinations, we are not surprised to find her characterized by a spirit of self-confidence. By reason of her early development in culture and in government, she became the teacher of neighboring countries, and invariably compelled her victor to adopt her language, literature, customs, and laws, literally absorbing the conqueror and making him lose himself among her people. The first purpose of this bulletin is to trace the growth of the first national educational institutions and the struggle over the introduction of modern education into China before the formation of the ministry of education. The second purpose is to treat of the present educational system as outlined by the ministry of education. Chapters include: (1) The Growth of Modern Education in China up to 1898; (2) Education from 1898 to 1900: Reforms and Counter Reforms; (3) Development of Modern Education from 1900 to 1906; (4) Controlling Agencies of the Educational System; (5) Primary Education; (6) Middle Schools, Provincial Colleges, and Universities; (7) Normal, Technical, and Miscellaneous Schools; and (8) Chinese Students Studying Abroad.

This descriptive study determined the exercise motivation and exercise attribution of recreational athletes in one of the major cities in Panay Island. A total of 75 purposively selected respondents who are regular members in a particular club for at least a year and have finished at least a college degree participated in the study. To gather data a researcher-made instrument for exercise attribution and the Exercise Motivations Inventory (EMI-2) by Markland and Ingledew 1997 (Anshel, 2003) were used. Mean, rank and standard deviation were the descriptive statistics while the Mann-Whitney U Test, Kruskal-Wallis Test, and Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficient Analysis, all set at 0.05 level of significance, were the inferential statistics. The results revealed that whether taken as an entire group or classified according to age, gender and employment type the exercise motivation of recreational athletes was &quot;personal enhancement.&quot; Their exercise attribution as an entire group and when classified as to gender was work related, including those who were self-employed, were working in government agencies and were 30 years old and below. However, the exercise attribution of those who were 31 yrs. old and above and working in private agencies was &quot;health-related.&quot; No significant difference existed in the exercise motivation of recreational athletes when they were classified according to age and gender but a significant difference existed when they were group as to employment type. Similarly, a significant difference existed in their exercise attribution when they were classified according to age but no significant difference existed when they were grouped as to gender and employment type. A significant relationship existed between the recreational athletes' exercise motivation and exercise attribution. Appendixes include: (1) Letter to the Author of the Instrument and Letter of the Author to the Researcher; (2) Letter to the Jurors; (3) The Jurors; (4) Letter to the Respondents; (5) Research Instruments; (6) Reliability Coefficients of the Research Instruments; and (7) SPSS [Statistical Package for the Social Sciences] Outputs.

This study investigated students' motivation and achievement in combined science. A sample of 324 Year 11 students from eight government secondary schools in Brunei Darussalam participated in the study. Of the sample, 141 were boys and 183 were girls and their average age was 16.4 years. The motivation instrument used was adapted from the science motivation questionnaire (Glynn, Taasoobshirazi, & Brickman, 2009) and consisted of 24 items. Results show that this group of students displayed a moderate level of intrinsic motivation, personal relevance, self-determination and self-efficacy and a high level of extrinsic motivation and assessment anxiety in learning-combined science. Results also demonstrate significant differences in motivational orientations towards learning-combined science between boys and girls and between high ability and low ability students. Furthermore, correlation analyses show that there were significant positive associations between students' motivational orientations and science achievement. (Contains 5 tables and 3 figures.)

The state of the art of TEL (technology-enhanced learning) is characterised by a technological-driven approach. Learning management systems or learning courses for management systems are mentioned as frequently used basic tools for this purpose. However, these Internet technologies are not suitable for the personalized support of teachers on client desktop computers. In this paper, an education-driven approach is briefly explained. The driving force is the sustained development of the in-house e-learning software, which allows bulk handling of unstructured information and knowledge in computer support of nonstructural teaching activities for teaching bachelors. The similar multipurpose pre-programmed environment or the paradigm of batch knowledge processing is not yet described in the literature. Some examples of personalized computer support of teaching are also mentioned. (Contains 6 figures.)
Shapers of Their Destiny: A History of the Education of Cuban Children in the United States since 1959

Despite the significant presence of Cuban children in the U.S. public schools since the late 1950s, no historical interpretation of their educational experiences exists. This essay is the first to develop such an interpretation. It sketches, in broad strokes, the role that Cuban exiles and Cuban Americans played in shaping their children's education in the U.S. from the late 1950s to the 1990s.
