It is of special importance that students in foreign countries who may be seeking educational opportunities in the United States should have accurate information as to what institutions in  this country have to offer. For this reason, preparations were made for publication of a document which should show the organization of American education with special reference to universities, colleges, and professional schools; state and explain admission requirements with special reference to the needs of foreign students; and outline the general and specific opportunities to be found at American institutions of higher education. The manuscript  transmitted herewith gives information on these points and on many others of value, not only to the prospective student from foreign countries, but to all who may he interested in the present facilities for higher education in the United States. The bulletin is presented in seven sections. The six chapters of Section I are as follows: (1) Organization of education in the United States; (2) Organization of the typical university; (3) Independent technical and professional schools; (4) Independent and denominational colleges; (5) Higher education of women; and (6) Comparison of American and foreign institutions. Section II contains information on: (1) Living conditions; (2) College life; and (3) Higher educational centers, distances from ports of entry, and cost of travel. Section III covers: (1) College entrance requirements; and (2) Typical curricula. Section IV presents a list of the principal departments or schools of the institutions described in Section VI, devoted to various branches of liberal, scientific, and professional study. Section V contains tables of degrees mentioned in this bulletin and the abbreviations used to designate them. Section VI describes the organization and offerings of 74 universities, colleges, technical, and professional schools which have already been frequented by foreign students or which give courses likely to prove of special interest to foreign students. Section VII presents 4 statistical tables and a list of medical colleges rated as class A by the Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association. An index is also provided.

The last two decades have seen a rapid expansion of State colleges of agriculture in the United States. The enrollment has increased rapidly and this has meant a rapid development in the means for offering resident instruction. The courses of study have been passing through a process of evolution coincident with this growth. In general it is largely true that the present-day curriculum of the agricultural college is an outgrowth of the old academic college course, resulting from a grafting of agricultural instruction on the old stock. This bulletin presents a study of the four-year course in agriculture leading to the degree of bachelor of science in the land-grant colleges of the 48 States of the United States. The study was undertaken in the effort to determine some of the fundamental principles on which the four-year course should be based. An addenda and index are included. (Contains 21 tables and 10 diagrams.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

Some time ago the Commissioner of Education was requested to offer advice in regard to the reorganization of the Francis Scott Key School, to meet more effectively the needs of its children and the adult population of that section, and to suggest plans for a building to be so constructed as to adapt it to the use of the school so reorganized.  In order to secure the data necessary as a basis for recommendations for the reorganization and for plans of building, and to make an intelligent presentation of the matter to the school board, the author was asked to make a careful study of the condition and needs of the people and of that section of the city. The manuscript transmitted herewith contains a report of this study, together with recommendations for the reorganization of the school and the units which should be included in the new building. Appended are: (1) Comparison of teaching staff of proposed intermediate school with that of the upper grades in the present school; and (2) A proposed scheme for training technologists, executives, and engineers for the Baltimore Dry Dock &amp; Shipbuilding Co.

On May 14-15, in Washington, a Conference on Education for Highway Engineering and Highway Transport was held. This was attended by about 75 highway engineers, deans and supervisors of engineering in colleges, universities, and technical schools, National,  State, and County highway commissioners, and men interested in highway and automotive transportation. Out of this conference, there grew a committee which will continue the consideration of this subject until the desired results in more adequate preparation for  these phases of education have been obtained. The proceedings of the conference have been written and transmitted herein for publication as a bulletin of the Bureau of Education. An index has been provided. (Contains 5 footnotes.)

Salaries of Principals of High Schools. Bulletin, 1920, No. 44

The high school is the pupil's college. Upon its character, its spirit, and its work depend not only the knowledge and skill, but also the ideas and mental attitude of a very large majority of the men and women who will rise to positions of influence in industrial, social, and civic life. The preparation and later success of those who enter schools of higher learning also depend in large measure on the high schools, but the character of the high schools, including both spirit and work is determined very largely by their principals. The principalship of the high school may well be conceded to be the most important and difficult position in the entire school system, requiring of those who fill it well the highest type of native ability, broad and comprehensive education, much professional knowledge, and great skills in training, in organization, in management, and in leadership. Only men and women of such qualifications should be employed in this position. It is therefore interesting to know just what are the wages paid principals in the high schools of the United States, to what extent these wages have been increased in the last five or six years, which have been marked by large increases in wages in most occupations and in the cost of living. This bulletin, the result of recent special inquiry and study made by the Bureau of Education, gives this information for the country as a whole and for each of the several States.

The movement toward the establishment of the State board of education as the administrative head of the educational system continues to gain ground. At the present time there are 42 States having such boards with functions relating to the common schools. Of the other 6 States, Iowa, Nebraska, Ohio, and South Dakota have boards known as State boards of education with functions restricted, in Iowa to the charge of State institutions of higher education, including the State normal college; in Nebraska to the administration of State normal schools; and in Ohio and South Dakota to the administration of the vocational education laws. Only Illinois and Maine have no boards known as the State board of education, but both have State boards for vocational education, the establishment or designation of such boards being necessary to enable the States to participate in the funds appropriated by Congress for the promotion of vocational education. Additional topics discussed herein include: composition of State boards of education, appointment, size of board and term of office, powers and duties, and summary of tendencies. The elements of the State superintendent of public instruction are then described including: title, term of office, manner of selection, and powers and duties. The bulletin concludes with a discussion of the staffs of State departments of education, including a list of positions in each of the State departments of education, together with the salary attached to each position in so far as the data were reported by the departments, and a tabular statement showing the salaries attached to certain positions in the departments having such positions. Individual sections contain footnotes. [Best copy available has been provided.]

No part of our school work is more important than that of the first three or four years, which is done in what is generally known as the primary grades. In these grades there are more children than in any other. Many children, for one reason or another, do not go beyond them. Those who do, find all their later school work affected by what they have done in these grades. During the years of life covered by these grades are formed the habits which to a very large extent, control the conduct and daily life of the children when they have grown to youth and to manhood and womanhood. For the purpose of promoting more careful study of the work of the primary grades and of the fundamental principles underlying it, the National Council of Primary Education was formed nearly five years ago and has done much valuable work. From the time of its organization until now the Bureau of Education has cooperated with the council.  One of the Bureau's specialists has served as its secretary, and has published the proceedings of the council's meetings and assisted in many other ways. Transmitted herewith for publication, as a bulletin of the Bureau of Education, are reports of the proceedings of the fifth and sixth annual meetings the council. From the fifth annual meeting, the following are included: (1) Opening Remarks by the Chairman (Ella Victoria Dobbs); (2) Report of a Study of Typical Daily Programs in Use in Primary Schools (Annie E. Moore); (3) The Weak Points in Informal Organization (Ernest Horn); (4) Strong Points in Formal Organization (Catherine Watkins); (5) Report of the Committee on Furnishings and Equipment for Primary Schools (Abbie Louise Day); (6) Statement by the Committee on Elementary Education (Theda Gildemeister); (7) Special Reports on Daily Programs in Various Localities; and (8) Constitution and By-Laws of the National Council of Primary Education. From the sixth annual meeting, the following are presented: (1) Rating School Programs (Mary Brady); (2) Training the Primary Teacher to Use Free Activities (Marion S. Hanckel); (3) The Primary School as the Kindergartner Sees It (Mary Davis); and (4) Discussion. (Contains 1 footnote.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

Indiana's declining SAT scores prompted the publisher of a statewide magazine covering the literary, performing, and visual arts to take action and create a program to use the magazine as a supplemental resource for students. It was believed that such a supplemental resource could enhance critical thinking and writing skills and help raise SAT scores. Arts Indiana, Inc., a not-for-profit organization, provided the organizational structure that launched the &quot;Arts Indiana Magazine in the Classroom&quot; program and sought sponsors to cover its costs. It was believed that by integrating arts--in a multi-disciplinary approach--directly into Indiana classrooms, the program could enhance critical thinking and writing skills. This study showed the ways in which a supplemental resource is used affects teachers' perceptions of curriculum integration, instructional materials development, classroom learning activity selections, and student critical thinking improvement. It revealed similarities and differences among use between grade levels and subject areas. It revealed the similarities and differences of use among teachers who used an accompanying teacher/student guide and those who did not. This study's literature review showed the value that various kinds of arts instruction and arts integration provided to the critical thinking skills development of students. The following are appended: (1) Consent Form; (2) Style Manual Statement; (3) Reliability and Validity Data for Measures Used; (4) Measures Used and Instructions for Their Use; and (5) Scoring Systems for Measures. (Contains 7 tables and 12 figures.)
