Compulsory School Attendance. Bulletin, 1914, No. 2. Whole Number 573
Author: Department of the Interior, United States Bureau of Education (ED)
Date: 1914-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Attendance,Foreign Countries,Compulsory Education,Educational Legislation,State Legislation,Federal Legislation,Law Enforcement,Superintendents,Enrollment,Immigrants,Child Labor,Private Schools,Poverty,Age Differences,Discipline,Attendance Patterns

The formulation of effective compulsory attendance laws has been one of the problems confronting legislators and school officials for the past 70 years. The most marked advance in enacting such laws has been made since 1890. Prior to that date only 27 States and the District of Columbia had compulsory laws, and many of these were inoperative. Now 43 States have them. How effectively the laws of the several States are enforced it is not possible to determine, as statistics of enforcement are lacking in most of the States and in many of the city reports, but that many essential factors are wanting in some of the laws will be evident when a careful study is made of the tabular digest presented in this bulletin. In this bulletin the writer has attempted to call to the attention of the reader a few of the arguments for such laws and some of the factors necessary in their enforcement. The reports of city and State superintendents and articles prepared by practical school men are quoted freely. To introduce the subject, and to help the reader recall the early history of compulsory education in this country, a brief historical sketch of the early Massachusetts laws is presented. Contents include: (1) Compulsory attendance laws in the United States (W. S. Deffenbaugh); (2) Compulsory attendance in foreign countries (Anna Tolman Smith); (3) Compulsory education in Germany (W. Carson Ryan, Jr.); (4) The need of compulsory education in the South (William H. Hand); (5) Laws of Ohio and of Massachusetts relating to compulsory education and child labor; and (6) Bibliography of compulsory education in the United States. An index is included. Individual sections contain footnotes. [Best copy available has been provided.]

The School and the Start in Life: A Study of the Relation between School and Employment in England, Scotland and Germany. Bulletin, 1914, No. 4. Whole Number 575
Author: Bloomfield, Meyer
Date: 1914-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Child Welfare,Vocational Education,Private Agencies,Foreign Countries,Careers,Career Guidance,Employment Opportunities,Bibliographies,Education Work Relationship

Within recent years an unusually active interest has been manifested in the after-school careers of the boys and girls who, either through graduation or through dropping out, leave the elementary schools of the United States. The child-welfare organizations of the country have for many years labored to raise the compulsory school age and to safeguard  the moral and physical well-being of young wage earners; social and educational agencies have, through private or through public funds; provided for a limited number of children, whose circumstances or whose natural inclinations pointed to some form of industrial employment opportunities to enter, by means of preliminary vocational training and help, the higher levels of the occupations. More recently the vocational guidance movement, with its vocation bureaus, vocational information, placement, scholarship and follow-up societies, has focused public attention on the hitherto scantily recognized responsibility of the public school for the careers of the children who have left it for employment. The object of the present study is to describe some of the important enterprises carried on by public and private agencies in England, Scotland, and Germany for the purpose of assisting boys and girls in their start in life. These countries have been selected for special inquiry because their work of vocational assistance, some of it decades old and much of it still in the early stages of experimentation, possesses peculiar interest and suggestiveness for workers in similar fields in the United States. A bibliography and an index are included. Individual sections contain footnotes. [Best copy available has been provided.]
The Folk High Schools of Denmark. Bulletin, 1914, No. 5. Whole Number 576
Author: Friend, L. L.
Date: 1914-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Rural Education,Foreign Countries,Economic Development,Folk Schools,Rural Population,Educational Needs,Educational History,Educational Improvement

So great has been the part that the folk high schools and their offspring, the agricultural schools, have had in the intellectual and economic development of rural Denmark that they are worthy of the closest study by those interested in the intellectual and economic improvement of the country's own rural population. The founders of these schools and those who have developed them have broken completely away from ancient educational traditions and, having faithfully interpreted the educational needs of their people, have sought to meet them in the most direct and practical way possible. This Americans also must do if education is to become the vital forge that it ought to be in the enlightenment and development of rural population. The author's own feeling after visiting Denmark and making a serious study of the folk high schools and their methods is that they have some very practical suggestions to offer for the improvement of rural education in this country, particularly in the piedmont sections of the South. The author has attempted, therefore, in this bulletin, to describe accurately the work and methods of the folk high schools and to indicate as definitely as possible how Americans may make application of their best features in the improvement of rural education in these sections.

Kindergartens in the United States: Statistics and Present Problems. Bulletin, 1914, No. 6. Whole Number 577
Author: Department of the Interior, United States Bureau of Education (ED)
Date: 1914-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Superintendents,School Statistics,Kindergarten,Surveys,Public Schools,Supervisors,Grade 1,Elementary School Teachers,Salaries,Administrator Attitudes,Teacher Attitudes,Conferences (Gatherings),Standards,Preservice Teacher Education,Montessori Method,Responsibility

The survey of the status of kindergartens in the United States for the school year 1911-1912 was made with the idea of gathering together quantitative facts. The question-forms, therefore, asked chiefly for returns in figures, and these will be found summarized and tabulated in the statistical section of this bulletin. Figures are significant if read back into the setting from which they were taken, and interpreted in relation to their context; they are rich material to one who makes a rich use of them, but void otherwise. The statistics given in Section II should accordingly be read with direct reference to the material presented in the other sections, particularly the opinions of superintendents, primary supervisors, and grade teachers in different cities. It is interesting to note the numerical extension of public kindergartens and all other kinds of kindergartens at the close of June, 1912, particularly in comparison with the figures obtained by the Bureau of Education in 1902, and published in the Commissioner's Report for that year. These figures showed a total of 3,244 kindergartens, with an enrollment of 205,432 children. Contents include: (1) Introduction; (2) Statistics; (3) Kindergartens as viewed by superintendents, primary supervisor and first-grade teachers; and (4) Abstracts of papers read at the meeting of the International Kindergarten Union, Washington, D.C. (Contains 6 tables.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

Physical Growth and School Progress: A Study in Experimental Education. Bulletin, 1914, No. 10. Whole Number 581
Author: Baldwin, Bird Thomas
Date: 1914-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Academic Achievement,Developmental Stages,Physical Development,Adolescent Development,Child Development,Children,Adolescents,Body Height,Age Differences,Body Weight,Human Body,Elementary School Students,Secondary School Students,Physical Disabilities,Correlation,Instructional Program Divisions

It should now be recognized that every child has at least five parallel ages: A &quot;chronological&quot; age, in years, months, and days: a &quot;physiological&quot; age, indicative of physical growth and maturity; a &quot;mental&quot; age, significant of intellectual capacity and ability; a &quot;school standing,&quot; or &quot;pedagogical&quot; age, denotative of relative position in school grades and a &quot;moral&quot; or &quot;religious&quot; age. These ages may or may not coincide in their stages of development. In a first-class school the school standing, or pedagogical, age and the mental age would be the same. This monograph aims to present the results of a study of the physical growth, or &quot;physiological&quot; age, and the &quot;school standing&quot; of a group of boys and girls from 6 to 18 years of age when observed consecutively. The scope or field of the investigation includes: (1) A series of norms based on the height and age distribution, and weight and age distribution; the averages and average variations of individual increments of growth in height, weight, and lung capacity; and the individual growth curves in height, weight, and lung capacity, with health notes and weight-height and vital indexes; (2) An investigation on school standing in marks, grades, and ages; (3) The relation of physical development in height, weight, and lung capacity to school standing; and (4) A brief historical summary of the work in this field, with an annotated bibliography. The chief value of the monograph consists in the fact that it is the first attempt to follow consecutively the same groups of children through the elementary and high schools, either in physical growth or school standing, or the relation of the two. Since the curves and records represent individual histories, they will be of permanent value. The monograph also aims to give the present status of the problem of physical growth. A bibliography and an index are included. Individual sections contain footnotes. (Contains 40 figures and 34 tables.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
