Sixty Iranian high school EFL learners between 14 and 16 males participated in this study were randomly divided into two groups; experimental, and control. As the study aimed to know whether vocabulary strategy training effects on vocabulary learning of Iranian students, at first the control and experimental group were given a writing  per-test containing 40 vocabulary multiple choice tests. The mean score for both groups was approximately the same. After training of vocabulary learning strategies to experimental group for the period of 2 months, the researcher gave both groups 40 vocabulary multiple choice tests. The control did not receive the strategies of vocabulary training. A &quot;t-test&quot; on the mean scores of both groups indicated a significant difference between the scores of the post-tests, meaning that the vocabulary strategy training was significantly effective in the experimental group. Moreover, while the mean scores of the control group's per-post tests were the same, the mean score of the experimental group's post-test was higher than that of the per-test. (Contains 8 tables.)

Reorganization of Science in Secondary Schools. Bulletin, 1920, No. 26

The committee on science of the Commission on the Reorganization of Secondary Education has carried on its work by means of discussions, correspondence, and formulation of preliminary reports for over seven years. The discussion of preliminary reports by groups, committees, and at meetings of science teachers has revealed progressive work already under way and has led to the trial of preliminary recommendations. Some of the improvements that the committee sought to effect have already been adopted by many of the best schools. The full report herein presented, formulated through this procedure, incorporates practices that have proved most useful. It asks for only those features of reorganization that have been found to work well, or which by fair amount of trial promise improvements. Further experiments with new courses in science, or with the readjustment of older courses, may make desirable and necessary a revision of the report before many years have passed. The report embodies contributions and criticisms of more than 50 science teachers and administrative officers. It does not include every proposal, as many such proposals are not fully approved by others. Some members of subcommittees have been unable to send criticisms of the full report, but because of their previous important work on subcommittees their names are included in the list of members. Appendix includes: The science teacher. (Contains 1 footnote.) [A Report of the Commission on the Reorganization of Secondary Education, appointed by the National Education Association.

The Biennial Survey of Education presents the statistics of practically all the important school systems in the United States for 1917-18. The various chapters have been previously printed as bulletins, permitting a wider circulation of the statistics. This chapter includes a general summary of the statistics, showing the enrollment in public and private schools and institutions of various types, the estimated cost of maintaining these schools for 1917-18, the distribution of teachers among these schools, and the estimated length of time the average person attends school during his life. In addition to these general statistics, this chapter contains certain information which had to be culled from other chapters in the report and assembled into a unified whole. It serves, therefore, the double purpose of summarizing and assembling such data as could not well be done in any other single chapter of the report. (Contains 22 tables and 12 figures.)

In October 19, at the request of the Board of Education in the District of Columbia, the Bureau of Education made a preliminary survey of the schools of the District and reported to the board a plan for the reorganization of the administrative and teaching forces of the schools, including a schedule of salaries. It confined itself wholly to the questions of organization, administration, and salaries. This report is divided into three parts. Part I contains recommendations for additions to the administrative, supervising, and teaching staffs, and changes in their organization. Part II contains recommendations in regard to classification and salaries. Part III contains suggestions for a more adequate basis for the payment of janitor service. The recommendations have in them much value to the boards of education and superintendents of schools in other large cities. (Contains 5 footnotes.)

This report describes an individualized literacy intervention program that was developed for a fifth grade boy who struggled with reading. Based upon informal assessment and evaluation procedures, the following literacy strategies were taught within a one-to-one instructional setting: Repeated Readings, Personal Vocabulary Journal, Phonemic Awareness, Reader Response Journal, Character Perspective Chart, and Self-Questioning. Data collection included field notes, audio tape recordings, assessment and evaluation tools, and participant work samples. Findings suggest that a melding of literacy strategies worked in concert to enhance reading fluency, reading comprehension, and reading enjoyment for the participant. A Character Perspective Chart is appended. (Contains 13 figures.)
