This bulletin is one of a series of publications reporting the findings of investigations undertaken during 1936-37 under the Project in Research in Universities of the Office of Education. The Project in Research in Universities represents a unique and significant innovation in cooperative research. Sixty universities and comparable institutions located in 32 States, the District of Columbia, and Hawaii combined efforts with the Office of Education to conduct 40 studies, 23 of which were proposed by the Office and 17 by the institutions. The study reported in this bulletin presents a survey of the opportunities offered, by normal schools, teachers colleges, universities, and colleges of arts and sciences for the preparation of supervisors of elementary school instruction as revealed by a study of the institutions' catalogs and by replies to a questionnaire. It analyzes the offerings of these institutions for both general and subject supervisors in order to determine the nature of the curricula and courses offered and to indicate trends in the preparation provided for elementary school supervisors by comparing current offerings with those repeated in previous studies. The study reveals the present status of supervisory training as offered in the various types of teacher-education institutions. Institutions Offering Curricula are appended. Individual sections contain footnotes. (Contains 10 tables.) [For related reports, see "Project in Research in Universities: Opportunities for the Preparation of Teachers of Exceptional Children.

This bulletin is one of a series reporting the findings of investigations undertaken during 1936-37 under the Project in Research in Universities of the Office of Education. The project in Research in Universities represents a unique and significant innovation in cooperative research. This series focuses on the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camps. The CCC camps were established to provide emergency work for unemployed, out-of-school youth. Soon after their establishment, educational opportunities were provided to enable these youths better to prepare themselves for employment and civic usefulness. After having observed the CCC for more than 4 years the American people seem quite universally convinced that the Civilian Conservation Corps has within it the elements for contributing not only to the conservation of natural resources but to the conservation of American youth as well. Now that the camps have been in operation for more than 4 years, they have thrown off their emergency aspects and are beginning to take on signs of permanency. It is well, therefore that the whole camp program should be deliberately and critically examined and evaluated to determine what their future course in American life should be. The two studies summarized in this publication are intended to add to this growing store of knowledge about the work of CCC camps. (Contains 5 tables.) Individual sections contain footnotes.

Project in Research in Universities: Education and the Civil Service in New York City. Bulletin, 1937, No. 20
Author: Sayre, Wallace S.
Date: 1938-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Articulation (Education),Recruitment,Public Service,Investigations,Public Service Occupations,Academic Standards,National Standards,Barriers,Trend Analysis,Educational Experience,Licensing Examinations (Professions),Job Training,Inservice Teacher Education,Education Work Relationship

This bulletin is one of a series reporting the findings of investigations undertaken during 1936-37 under the Project in Research in Universities of the Office of Education. The project was financed under the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935; and conducted in accordance with administrative regulations of the Works Progress Administration. This bulletin analyzes the recruitment policies of the Civil Service Commission of New York City in their relationships to the educational program of the metropolis. It is in essence a case study of a problem which is now emerging with increasing emphasis on a national scale: The articulation of the American educational system with the recruitment of a highly trained public service personnel. The Commission of Inquiry on Public Service Personnel has but recently pointed out the urgency of a public career service in the United States. In the recruitment of a trained career personnel the basic essential is a close and consistent coordination between the standards of public service recruitment and the standards of education and training in the schooling program of the Nation and the community. The authors of this bulletin have made a thorough survey of the trends toward, and the barriers to, a career service in an important and highly developed public personnel jurisdiction. Their findings have more than local significance. Civil service administrators and educators throughout the country will find in this bulletin many helpful guides to the development of a public career service and the orientation of the educational system to this new opportunity and responsibility. The following appendices are included: (1) A Representative New Test; (2) A Representative Advertisement for a Civil-Service Examination; (3) Questionnaire Distributed to Employees in Competitive Class; (4) Selective Value of Each Test in Certain Examinations; and (5) Age Levels and Recruitment Methods.

This bulletin is one of a series reporting the findings of investigations undertaken during 1936-37 under the Project in Research in Universities of the Office of Education. The project was financed under the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935, and conducted in accordance with administrative regulations of the Works Progress Administration. The purpose of this bulletin is twofold. It is proposed (1) to illustrate the use of standard procedure for the determination of unit costs in 9 large universities conducting a variety of functions and (2) to give the unit costs of instruction of certain of their services as computed by this procedure. The standard procedure for computing unit costs employed in this bulletin consisted of a system developed by the National Committee on Standard Reports for Institutions of Higher Education. The unit costs were computed for the fiscal year of 1934-35 in all the universities excepting one. In the case of the latter university the figures were for the fiscal year of 1935-36 due to the fact that the institution had undergone a reorganization during the preceding year. The nine universities cooperating with the Office of Education in prosecuting this study included institutions of several types and classes. Three were State universities and one was a State college of agriculture and mechanic arts. Two were municipal universities. The remaining universities were privately controlled. Of the nine universities there were five which were located in large urban communities while the others were situated in fairly small communities or in the open country. The various activities conducted by the nine universities were both educational and noneducational in character. The educational activities consisted of instruction of students, scientific research, off-campus extension, short courses, institutes, lectures, public services of various types, and the like. Noneducational activities included testing, regulatory, inspectional, and supplementary services, particularly in the case of the State universities and colleges. Of the other noneducational activities applicable to all institutions was the operation of dormitories, dwellings, dining halls, cafeterias, laundries, and similar auxiliary enterprises. Individual chapters contain footnotes. (Contains 16 tables and 2 figures.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

For many years educators and librarians have felt the need of a check list and index to the publications of the Office of Education and the Federal Board for Vocational Education. So many different series have been issued from time to time that it has been almost impossible for librarians to know definitely what constitutes a complete set of these publications. It has been more than 25 years since the last complete list of publications of the Office of Education was compiled (Bulletin, 1910. No. 3), and, in the intervening years, many new series have been issued. No complete list of the publications of the Federal Board for Vocational Education has ever been issued. With these thoughts in mind, it was thought advisable to prepare at this time a complete list of all publications of the Office of Education from 1910 to 1936, supplementing Bulletin, 1910, No. 3, and to include with it a list of the printed publications of the Federal Board for Vocational Education. The accompanying list is issued in two parts, Part I listing publications of the Office of Education; and Part II, listing the publications of the Vocational Division of the Office of Education and its predecessor, the Federal Board for Vocational Education. The various series are listed in alphabetical order and publications are arranged chronologically under each series. An index is provided for Part I and Part II publications.

The increasing importance of the library in modern society has increased the demand for well-qualified persons to serve in various types of libraries with their numerous specialized departments. Librarianship, in common with other professions, has its distinctly specialized fields.'The purpose of this bulletin is to give the prospective library school student information about libraries and the library profession that will help him to determine for himself the vocational possibilities in the library field and the kinds of preparation required for the various fields of service. Counselors in high schools and colleges, library trustees, and others who wish to inform themselves of the place and varied functions of the library in modern society may also find material of interest in this bulletin.

Education in the United States has developed from two opposite starting points. Colleges were organized to train leaders, particularly for churches and the courts. They needed schools to prepare their prospective students, and so a system of academics grew up dominated largely by colleges. Widespread public elementary schools, however, developed for a quite different purpose. The people needed education for their own personal satisfaction and for the requirements of citizenship. These schools were soon supplemented by high schools. States established State universities. Thus there came to be the unbroken chain of public education from the kindergarten through the university. Liberal arts colleges, while originating in the former movement are a very important link also in the public education chain. They are affected, therefore, by the present tendency of communities to extend the period of secondary education upward to include the thirteenth and fourteenth grades. They are also affected by the increasing distinctness with which the two functions of the college, namely, general education and specialization, are being identified, respectively, with the first 2 years and last 2 years of the curriculum. Because of the influence of these trends upon the continuity of attendance of students in the liberal arts college, it has seemed important to study, for colleges of different types, such questions as: How many years do students remain in a given liberal arts college? How many transfer from one college to another? How many drop out from year to year? It is believed that this bulletin, which has resulted from such a study, will prove helpful to those interested in the liberal arts college. A copy of the questionnaire used in this study is appended, and a bibliography is included. (Contains 9 tables.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

This publication comes in answer to many requests for a brief study of forums which engage the interests of young people. It presents a summary of much material which has flowed into the Office of Education as a result of its sponsorship of community wide public forums. It is presented to educators and laymen in the hope that it will give valuable aid to the growing movement for vital discussion among young people. It is particularly prepared for teachers and supervisors of social studies, principals and superintendents in the high-school field, and professors of the social sciences and administrators of universities.  It is hoped that this document will be pertinent to leaders of adult education in their task of organizing community efforts for out-of-school youth, and in utilizing the resources of high schools and colleges in providing interesting discussion opportunities for adults. The report on the High School Program of the Minneapolis Public Forum Project and the Discussion Method - Reading References are appended. (Individual chapters contain footnotes.)

Printed Page and the Public Platform: A Study of the Relation of Reading to Forums and Discussion. Bulletin, 1937, No. 27

Adults cannot be induced to go &quot;back&quot; to school but they can be assisted in continuing their education. The school, the university, forums, discussion groups, libraries, newspapers, magazines, the radio, and the motion pictures all have roles to play in making education a continuing process for adults. The public forum demonstrations, sponsored by the Office of Education, have emphasized the importance of the cooperation of many agencies in achieving community-wide adult civic education. This study is concerned with forums and discussion groups of all sizes and of various sponsorships, but is limited to those which deal with public affairs. There has been little attempt to explore the activities of groups discussing philosophy, literature, the arts, etc. It is hoped that this publication may stimulate and assist librarians and leaders of discussion to find more and better ways of making the printed page see to the needs of the forums. If reading is to play the effective part it seems capable of playing in making public forums a really vital force in civic education, an attack on the problem in three directions seems indicated after an examination of the successes and failures of various forums in trying to promote reading. First, there must be a definite program of publicity and education to demonstrate to forum attendants the values of reading in connection with discussion of public questions. Secondly, reading materials must be made more accessible than they now are. Lastly, a much more suitable type of reading material must be provided. A list of selected references is provided.

The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) collects institution-level data from postsecondary institutions in the United States (50 states and the District of Columbia) and other U.S. jurisdictions. This &quot;First Look&quot; presents findings from the preliminary data of the IPEDS fall 2012 data collection, which included three survey components: Institutional Characteristics for the 2012-13 academic year; Completions, covering the period July 1, 2011, through June 30, 2012; and 12-Month Enrollment, covering the period July 1, 2011, through June 30, 2012. Data for all three components were collected through the IPEDS web-based data collection system. This &quot;First Look&quot; using IPEDS preliminary data provides users with an opportunity to obtain access to IPEDS data soon after the close of data collection. Preliminary data have not been extensively reviewed or edited. Provisional data for this collection, containing fully reviewed, edited, and imputed data, will be released approximately 3 months after the preliminary data. Final data, including revisions to the provisional data submitted by institutions after the close of data collection, will be available during the next collection year (2013-14). The purpose of this report is to introduce new data through the presentation of tables containing descriptive information. Selected findings have been chosen to demonstrate the range of information available when using the IPEDS data rather than to discuss all of the observed differences, and they are not meant to emphasize any particular issue. Not all data collected during the fall 2012 collection are displayed in this &quot;First Look&quot;; however, all data from the fall 2012 collection are publicly available through the IPEDS Data Center, found at http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/datacenter. Appended are: (1) Data Collection Procedures; and (2) Glossary of Terms. (Contains 4 tables and 8 footnotes.)
