The Commissioner of Education authorized the specialist in charge of commercial education of the Bureau of Education to confer with a small group of administrative professors in engineering and commerce for the purpose of discussing ways and means whereby a larger number of students in engineering and commerce might be prepared better for management positions in industry and commerce, and under date of February 15, the commissioner invited the presidents of higher institutions near St. Louis to send representatives for a conference with Dr. Swiggett, in that city on February 22. The members present at this preliminary conference asked for the immediate appointment by the Commissioner of Education of a committee to consider with Dr. Swiggett, at a second conference in Washington, on or about March 31, the subject of commercial engineering in its various aspects and to prepare one or more curricula in this field which can be recommended by the Bureau of Education for adoption in colleges and universities. It was further recommended that a general conference, national in scope, and fully representative of all interests in character, be held in the immediate future for the purpose of directing attention to the importance of this new type of training and to discuss one or more main topics essential to the preparation of commercial engineers. Pursuant to the wishes of the St. Louis conference, the Commissioner of Education immediately appointed a committee on commercial engineering and called a conference of this committee to meet in Washington, New Willard Hotel, March 31-April 1. The Commissioner of Education issued May 1, on behalf of the Conference Committee on Commercial Engineering, a call for a public conference to be held at the New Willard Hotel, in Washington, June 23 and 24, on the subject of business training for engineers and engineering training for students of business. Educational institutions with faculties in engineering and economics or commerce were invited to designate representatives to attend the conference.

The Eyesight of School Children: Defective Vision as Related to School Environment, and Methods of Prevention and Correction. Bulletin, 1919, No. 65
Author: Berkowitz, J. H.
Date: 1920-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Educational Environment,Human Body,Physical Fitness,Vision Tests,Environmental Influences,Vision,Laws,Child Health,School Surveys,School Health Services,Prevention,Assistive Technology,Screening Tests,State Legislation,Supervision,Lighting,Color,Hygiene,Planning

Competent authorities seem to agree as to the causes of eye strain in school children other than congenital defects. Standard works on diseases of the eye are practically unanimous in declaring that myopia results from the protracted and unhygienic use of the eyes in near work. Most of the factors tending to cause eye strain exist in the schools. Among them are improper illumination: glare from windows, from glazed paper, and from improperly arranged artificial illumination; improper seating; poor printing and improper type. This bulletin represents the results of a comprehensive survey having for its objects the ascertaining of the following: (1) The nature and extent of defective vision in school children as disclosed by medical inspection; (2) The preventable causes within the schools and factors intimately connected with school life to which may be attributed eye strain and general deterioration of visual capacity, as established by the investigations of different authorities; (3) Efforts made to correct conditions inimical to eyesight in the schools and prophylactic measures adopted; (4) Clinical facilities for the correction of refractive errors and available sources of supplying needy children with eye glasses; and (5) Necessary improvements in facilities and methods in three various fields. The chief considerations were the environmental influences which tend to produce functional disturbances of the eye and thereby to impair the physical fitness of the child for school work and later for industrial or professional work. Eight appendixes present: (1) Book type specimens; (2) School survey forms; (3) Direction for testing sight and hearing; (4) Standard for admission to the conservation of vision classes; (5) Forms used in cooperative health supervision, New York City; (6) English and American specimen forms; (7) Vision test charts; and (8) State laws requiring vision tests. An index and general reference and annotated bibliography are included. Individual sections contain footnotes. (Contains 16 plates.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Needs Assessment,Educational Finance,Financial Support,Public Schools,School Districts,Educational Facilities Improvement,Costs,School Buildings,Maintenance,Taxes,Economic Factors,Salaries,School Personnel,Equipment,Junior High Schools

This bulletin presents a study of the financial and building needs of the public schools of Lexington, Kentucky. The report shows that there is immediate and urgent need for new permanent buildings, temporary or movable buildings, and repairs, at which, at present prices of material and labor, will cost not less than $400,000, and that there will in the immediate future be need for other permanent buildings to house the rapidly increasing school population of the city. The report also shows clearly the need for considerable increase in the budget for current expense, because of the increase in school population and the absolute necessity for increase in the pay of teachers and janitors to prevent lowering standards and degeneration in the quality of work, and to make possible the constant improvement in the efficiency of the schools which the people of Lexington and the welfare of city, State, and Nation demand. The following three chapters are included: (1) Financing the school department of Lexington, Kentucky; (2) An analysis of the building problem; and (3) The care of buildings and of equipment. Individual chapters contain footnotes. [Best copy available has been provided.]
Toward a Psychotherapy Integration Approach for Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder: A Critical Literature Review

The symptoms, assessment, and treatments of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) have been empirically investigated to the extent that there is a breadth of valid and reliable instruments investigating this psychopathological syndrome. There, too, exists a substantial evidence base for various treatment models demonstrating effectiveness in treating PTSD. There are, however, no instruments designed to investigate the phenomena associated with Complex PTSD, and it has yet to find its place in the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders." There are also few outcome studies demonstrating effectiveness of various treatment approaches for Complex PTSD. Consequently, the current paper is an exhaustive literature review of outcome studies from various theoretical treatment orientations that have demonstrated effectiveness in the treatment of Complex PTSD. The paper closes with a review of various psychotherapy integration approaches and how those may be applied to the current research reviewed. (Contains 1 table.)
To What Extent Do Typologies of School Leaders across the U.S. Predict Teacher Attrition? A Multilevel Latent Class Analysis of Principals and Teachers
Author: Urick, Angela M.
Date: 2012-05-00
Type: Dissertations/Theses - Doctoral Dissertations
Subjects: Faculty Mobility,Principals,Leadership Styles,Teacher Attitudes,Multivariate Analysis,Predictor Variables,Teacher Persistence,Teacher Administrator Relationship,Instructional Leadership,Teacher Leadership,Transformational Leadership,Academic Achievement

Schools with high teacher turnover struggle to build capacity and increase student achievement. Leadership styles, such as shared instructional leadership found to have the largest effect on student achievement, may also help retain teachers. A long history of research has examined idealized, or effective, leadership styles and their relationship with attitudinal teacher retention variables, teacher satisfaction, commitment, intent to leave. Little is known about the ways in which leaders actually differ across the U.S. and their association with the actual event of teachers staying, moving schools, or leaving the profession. Using a nationally representative sample of teachers in U.S. schools from the 1999-2000 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS), three sequential latent class analysis models are tested to better understand a) the types of teachers and principals in school leadership while controlling for context, b) the congruency among the perceptions of these types of teachers and principals, and c) the extent that these types help predict teacher attrition. The results of this study show that there are three different types of principals, &quot;Integrating,&quot; &quot;Controlling&quot; and &quot;Balkanizing,&quot; and four different types of teachers, &quot;Integrated,&quot; &quot;Transitioned,&quot; &quot;Balkanized&quot; and &quot;Limited,&quot; based on their perceptions of the principal and teacher leadership within their school. These principal and teacher types are predictors of teacher attrition. &quot;Integrated&quot; teachers were less likely to leave schools with &quot;Integrating&quot; principals. Ten appendices are included. (Contains 2 equations, 28 tables, and 17 figures.)
