Since the organization of the United States Bureau of Education in 1867 statistics of public libraries have appeared periodically in the annual reports. It has been the purpose to gather such statistics every five years, but it has not been possible to carry out the plan with perfect regularity. For forty years every annual report of the bureau has given information relating to college and school libraries, the number of bound volumes, the number of pamphlets, and the approximate value of each library being the usual limit of such annual statistics. This bulletin presents the statistics of public, society, and school libraries in 1908. An index and a bibliography are included. (Contains 23 tables.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
Instruction in the Fine and Manual Arts in the United States: A Statistical Monograph. Bulletin, 1909, No. 6. Whole Number 406

Art instruction aims to raise the standard of taste. It includes instruction in seeing and interpreting the beautiful in nature and the arts, in drawing, both free-hand and instrumental, in designing, coloring, and modeling, in manipulating paper, cloth, leather, wood, metal, or other materials, to produce a result having elements of beauty. Art instruction, in the broadest sense, is promoted in the United States through the cooperation of many agencies. Chief among these are the public schools, art schools, special evening schools, art educational organizations and publications (many not avowedly art educational and therefore, perhaps, more widely influential), art departments in normal schools and in colleges and universities, summer schools, handicraft societies, public libraries having departments of art, lecture courses, and local exhibitions. To gather complete returns from each and all of these agencies is manifestly impossible. To state in the form of statistical tables the potency of each is equally impossible. To take such returns as the Bureau of Education could secure, arrange in orderly fashion, and summarize; to select from the summaries the most significant totals and compare them, and to set forth in a form convenient for reference such data as may be of service to those engaged in promoting art education, is within the range of possibility, and is the purpose of this monograph. A bibliography and an index are included. Individual sections contain footnotes. (Contains 12 tables.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Foreign Countries,Educational History,Public School Teachers,Educational Resources,Bibliographies,Reading Lists,School Organization,School Administration,Curriculum,Intellectual Disciplines,Educational Practices,Teaching Methods,Educational Principles,Elementary Secondary Education,Higher Education,Kindergarten,Rural Schools,Educational Theories

The list here presented is not intended to include the &quot;hundred best books&quot; on education. It merely offers, within a reasonable compass, representative selections from those divisions of educational literature, both general and special, that are of marked interest and value to the  public-school teachers of America. As such it may serve to answer some of the numerous inquiries which come from teachers and librarians who have in view the formation of small working collections in this department of literature. Thirty prominent educators representing all sections of the country, have shared with the staff of the Bureau of Education in the selection of these one hundred titles. The list is restricted to works in the English language, though it contains a number of important foreign books, both classical and contemporary, in translation. An author and subject index is included. [Best copy available has been provided.]
Bibliography of Education for 1908-9. Bulletin, 1909, No. 9. Whole Number 410

The bibliography of education for the year 1908-9 is the second attempt of the United States Bureau of Education to cover the field of current pedagogical literature. One of the special features of the present bibliography is the list of national and state educational societies, which has been carefully annotated. References have also been made to the reports of state and city school systems and a number of reports of college presidents. Greater attention is to be paid to these official documents in the future, for they are mines of valuable information on the subject of school organization and administration, and other live questions in education. The bibliography embraces not only educational works in the English language, but many in foreign languages, notably German and French. The purpose has not been to compile an exhaustive bibliography of current works on education, but rather to make a selective list of the leading educational publications and articles in periodicals, etc. [Best copy available has been provided.]
Education for Efficiency in Railroad Service. Bulletin, 1909, No. 10. Whole Number 420

When the writer, nine years ago, investigated for the Bureau of Education the subject of education for railroad service, the whole matter was in a very indefinite status. The monograph published at that time was little more than a collation of widely diverse opinions of railroad men. The advance made in the present decade is very surprising to those who may not be informed. Ideas of practical men on the subject are now less indefinite and conflicting. The relation between education and efficiency in railroad service is coming to be generally conceded. The most successful managers have seized on its financial import, and in their fiscal policies and operating organizations are giving it recognition. The large educational value of the railroad service itself is being turned to systematic practical account, and the value of educational agencies in preparing for specific industrial efficiency is better understood. The railroad service in the United States will shortly reach a total of 2,000,000 men. It is the largest and most highly organized example of associate effort in an epoch conspicuous for industrial and commercial concentration. In this view, the methods here evolved for preserving the proper balance between individual and group efficiency at any one time, and so of assuring the largest continuing effectiveness of the whole working body for the longest period of time--these methods take on especial significance. Among such methods, education in a broad sense must always be a large factor. The review of the subject here given is not intended to be statistical. The schools and railroads described have been cited merely in illustration of the particular methods which their practice typifies. Two appendixes present: (1) Statistics of railway apprenticeship; and (2) Educational and welfare work on European railroads. An index is included. Individual sections contain footnotes.

Date: 1909-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Higher Education,Land Grant Universities,Statistical Data,State Universities,Tables (Data),Federal Legislation,Student Characteristics,College Faculty,Teacher Salaries,College Presidents,Income,Institutional Characteristics

The list of 83 institutions considered in the tables within this bulletin includes all the fully organized state and territorial institutions and in addition such other institutions of higher education as are supported, at least in part, by the several States and Territories. Fifty-one of the institutions in the list, in addition to receiving support from the State or Territory, also enjoy the benefit of the Morrill Act of 1890 and the Nelson Amendment of 1907. Table 1 presents certain data representing the student body and teaching force of the institutions in question. Table 2 gives the salaries of the president and teachers, and the income of the several institutions distributed according to its chief sources. Table 3 gives other fiscal items concerning which questions are very frequently raised. (Contains 3 tables.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
The Movement for Reform in the Teaching of Religion in the Public Schools of Saxony. Bulletin, 1910, No. 1. Whole Number 423
Author: Show, Arley Barthlow
Date: 1910-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Educational Improvement,Public Schools,Foreign Countries,Educational Change,Religion,Public Education,Religious Education,Educational History,State Church Separation,Teaching Methods,Christianity,Catholics,Biblical Literature

The historical relations of public education to the institutions of religion have been variously significant. While governmental affairs and ecclesiastical affairs have been set apart from each other in this country, the teaching of sectarian doctrines is generally excluded from the schools of the several States, an understanding of the relations actually subsisting between the schools and the organized religion of other lands is greatly to be desired. It can help in many ways to a clearer insight into discussions which occasionally arise in this country and to a better appreciation of the import of changes which are proposed from time to time. This bulletin presents a careful study of the recent agitation in favor of a change in the teaching of religion in the public schools of the kingdom of Saxony, one of the States of the German Empire. Such a study is illuminating for the reason that it affords an opportunity for a vivid setting forth of a single concrete situation, which at the same time may be regarded as typical of the opposition of ideas in other European countries. An index is included. Individual sections contain footnotes. [Best copy available has been provided.]

The list of publications of the Bureau of Education, which is presented herein, is a revision of the list published in 1908 (Bulletin, 1908, No. 2). It differs from the earlier issue not only in that it is brought down to date, but in certain arrangements which will, it is believed, render it more convenient for the use of librarians and others who may have occasion to consult it. Contents include: (1) Annual statements of the Commissioner; (2) Annual Reports; (3) Official circulars of information; (4) Bulletin; and (5) Miscellaneous publications. An index is included.

Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Foreign Countries,Biological Sciences,Marine Biology,Water,Water Quality,Geographic Regions,Regional Characteristics,Organizational Objectives,Bibliographies,Program Descriptions,Intellectual History,Science Education History,Profiles,Oceanography,Geographic Distribution,Geographic Location

This report is based in large part upon a personal examination of the fresh water and marine biological stations of Europe, made in the summers of 1908 and 1909. Its purpose is to put in convenient form for reference an account of the history, organization, equipment, and work of the various stations of Europe, and to indicate their relations to research and to education of advanced and elementary or popular characters. Special attention has been given to the economic or applied scientific phases of their activities in the firm belief that biological stations and their methods of attack upon biological problems are destined not only to add greatly, and, in a unique way, to the advance of knowledge but are also of prime economic importance. Following a letter of transmittal and a preface, the following chapters are included: (1) The functions of biological stations; (2) Italy; (3) France and Monaco; (4) Great Britain; (5) Germany; (6) Austria-Hungary; (7) Scandinavia; and (8) Other European Countries. A bibliography and index are included. (Contains 55 plates and 48 figures.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

In preparing this bulletin the writer has addressed himself to some of the more important questions with which school boards and architects have to deal when they enter upon the work of planning a school building. It is not a treatise on school hygiene, but a discussion  of the requirements of school buildings from the schoolman's point of view and includes numerous illustrations of modern school buildings. The following are appended: (1) References on school architecture and sanitation; (2) F. Louise Soldan High School, St. Louis, Missouri; and (3) Types of modern school houses. (Contains 276 plates and 12 figures.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
Parents, Children &amp; Media: A Kaiser Family Foundation Survey

Over the past few years, media use among children and teens has become more prevalent than ever. With the launch of the iPod, the explosion in instant messaging, the birth of mobile video and YouTube, and the advent of social networking sites like MySpace, young people are rarely out of contact, or out of reach of the media. Meanwhile, policymakers continue to be concerned about the impact of media on young people. The Federal Communications Commission is issuing record-breaking fines for indecency and inadequate educational content, and sent Congress a major report recommending regulation of media violence. The Parents Television Council reports that violence and gruesome content on TV are on the rise; and many experts are expressing concern about TV and its possible links to obesity, attention deficit disorder, or sexual activity among young people. In the summer of 2006, the television industry launched a large promotional campaign to educate parents about the TV ratings and the V-Chip. In the context of all this activity and attention, the Kaiser Family Foundation is issuing this report to explore how parents view the role of media in their children's lives--what they see that is positive and negative about media, and how they monitor their children's use of media, from television to video games to the Internet. The results presented here are based on a national random digit dial telephone survey of 1,008 parents of children ages 2-17, along with a series of six focus groups held with parents  across the country. All quantitative findings are based on the results of the national survey; focus group findings are always presented separately. The survey was designed and analyzed by staff at the Kaiser Family Foundation, in collaboration with Princeton Survey Research Associates International (PSRAI); fieldwork was conducted by PSRAI. The survey was conducted from October 2-27, 2006. The margin of error from sampling is plus or minus 4 percentage points. Trend data are from surveys conducted by the Foundation in August 2004 and in April 1998. Focus groups were held in Irvine, California; Dallas, Texas; and Chicago, Illinois. Two groups were held in each city: one with mothers of children ages 9-11, and one with mothers of children ages 12-14. Participants were recruited for the groups by independent research firms, and the conversations were moderated by Foundation staff. Additional focus groups were held in Washington, D.C. for the purpose of making a videotape of parent comments. A copy of the Parents, Children &amp; Media Survey is included. (Contains 18 charts.)

The National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) Committee on STEM Education (CoSTEM) coordinates Federal programs and activities in support of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education pursuant to the requirements of Sec. 101 of the America COMPETES (Creating Opportunities to Meaningfully Promote Excellence in Technology Education and Science) Reauthorization Act of 2010.  The responsibilities of the CoSTEM cover education and workforce policy issues and research and development efforts that focus on STEM education issues at the Pre-K-12, undergraduate, graduate, and lifelong learning levels, as well as current and projected STEM workforce needs, trends, and issues. The three functions of the CoSTEM are to review Federal STEM education activities and programs and the respective assessments of each; coordinate, with the Office of Management and Budget, STEM education activities and programs throughout Federal agencies; and develop and implement through the participating agencies a 5-year STEM education strategic plan, to be updated every 5 years. This report details the results of the initial CoSTEM inventory of Federal STEM education investments. The Fast-Track Action Committee on Federal Investment in STEM Education was chartered to develop the inventory process, analyze the inventory results, and draft the inventory report with the oversight of the CoSTEM. The membership of the fast-track action committee included representatives from the same 11 Federal agencies that comprise the CoSTEM. This report includes detailed information on STEM education investments in order to identify duplication, overlap, and fragmentation in the Federal STEM education portfolio, illustrate distinct characteristics of investments, identify areas of potential synergy across and within agencies, support the sharing of effective STEM education strategies and evaluation techniques, increase awareness of education investments within and across Federal agencies, and support the development of a Federal five-year strategic STEM education plan. Appended are: (1) List of Investments; (2) Agency Details; (3) Supplementary Figures and Tables; (4) NSTC Inventory Survey; and (5) Glossary. (Contains 46 figures, 30 tables, 1 box and 30 footnotes.)
