One of the outstanding characteristics of American secondary education is the emphasis that it places upon individual and social needs. Most educators endorse student extraclass activities as an important way to obtain program flexibility, meet individual needs, and attain desirable education objectives. Among the purposes of this publication are the following: (1) To bring together information to point up promising purposes; (2) To furnish school administrators with information to use as a guide to developing better local practices; (3) To suggest ways of organizing and administering certain activities; (4) To show benefits to pupil, school, and community from certain student activities; and (5) To highlight such values as early identification of pupils having special skills and interests, development of skills and understandings usable in later life, retention in school of pupils who otherwise might drop out, and development of a motivation for classwork. The following methods were used to prepare this publication: review of pertinent literature; correspondence with selected schools; school visitation and observation within a limited area; and interviews with leaders and other experienced persons in the three fields. This bulletin is divided into five chapters, as follows: (1) Some school implications of technological change; (2) Aviation as an extraclass activity; (3) Photography as an extraclass activity, (4) Radio as an extraclass activity; and (5) Summary of benefits to pupils, schools, and communities. A selected bibliography basic to school club activities is included. (Contains 27 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
A Directory of 3,300 16mm Film Libraries. Bulletin, 1956, No. 12

Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Educational History,Directories,Film Libraries,Multimedia Materials,Educational Technology,Audiovisual Aids,Films,Instructional Films,College Libraries,School Libraries,Government Libraries,Public Libraries,Special Libraries,Organizations (Groups),Educational Resources,National Surveys,Questionnaires

This directory of 16mm film libraries has been compiled for the use of teachers, school administrators, librarians, community leaders, and others who use or wish to use motion pictures in their programs. It is a revision and an expansion of the Office of Education publication, &quot;A Directory of 2,660 16mm Film Libraries,&quot; which was prepared and issued three years ago. In the compilation of this directory, a 16mm film library has been defined as any &quot;company, institution, or organization which lends or rents 16mm films within the United States.&quot; This is the basic criterion that was used in compiling the directory so that it is a State-by-State and city-by-city list of sources from which 16mm film can be borrowed or rented. This directory includes libraries which handle entertainment films and those which handle instructional films; it includes libraries which have only one film and libraries which have thousands of films. It includes commercial dealers, colleges and universities, city and State school systems, public libraries, industrial companies and trade associations, labor unions, civic groups, religions institutions, and Government agencies. The second criterion used in compiling the directory is this: Only those 16 mm film libraries which assented to their being listed in the directory have been included.

During the academic year 1955-1956 Dr. Helen C. Lahey, Professor of Education at City College of the City of New York, New York, served as Fulbright guest professor at the Pedagogical Seminar in the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Vienna, Austria. While in Vienna Dr. Lahey was granted permission for research in the archives and library of the Ministry of Education where she received direction and guidance from the director of the teacher training institutions in Austria. Through the cooperation of the Austrian Ministry of Education and the United States Information Service in Vienna, a lecture tour of all Austrian teacher training institutions and universities was arranged in June 1955. She also had the opportunity to visit schools in Vienna and to make a survey of the agricultural and special schools as a guest of the provincial governments of Salzburg, Upper and Lower Austria. The present study on Austrian Teachers and Their Education since 1945 is based on the data gathered by the author during her year abroad. The study examines: (1) The Second Republic and Education (Austrian Education in the Aftermath of War; Elementary Teacher Education; Secondary Teacher Education; Balance Sheet, 1945-46); (2) The Preschool Teacher (Historical Development of Preschool Teacher Education; Development after World War II; Present Status of Preschool Education; Education of the Exceptional Child; Preparation of the Preschool Teacher; Salary, Status, and Tenure; Proposed Reforms); (3) The Teacher in Austrian Elementary Schools (Organization of Elementary Education; Teacher Education; Appointment; Teachers of Needlework and Home Economics; In-service Education; Status, Salary, and Tenure; Social Security, Pensions, and Retirement); and (4) The Teacher in Austrian Secondary Schools (Organization of Secondary Education; Education of Teachers; Appointment; In-service Education; Commercial Secondary School Teachers; Teachers of Industrial Arts; Salary and Tenure; Social Security, Pensions, and Retirement).

This handbook is the basic guide to financial accounting for local and State school systems in the United States. It is the second in a series of four handbooks in the State of Educational Records and Reports Series undertaken at the request of a number of national organizations.

This second handbook contains standard receipt and expenditure accounts, classified and defined, and additional accounting terminology necessary to their effective use. Universal use of the standard accounts and terminology in this bulletin will: (1) help to insure appropriate initial recording of financial data; (2) improve the accounting for school funds; (3) improve school budgeting; (4) establish a sound basis for cost accounting; (5) improve the accuracy of local, State, and national summaries; (6) facilitate comparisons of financial information among communities and States; (7) enable local and State educational authorities to obtain more suitable needed information for policy determination; (8) improve the accuracy of educational research; and (9) facilitate and improve reliable reporting to the public on the condition and progress of education. Certain additional features have been included in the handbook to enhance its value as a ready reference. Pertinent cross-referencing is designed to make the bulletin easy to use. Topics covered in this document's 12 chapters are as follows: (1) Classification of receipt accounts; (2) Definitions of receipt accounts; (3) Classification of expenditure accounts; (4) Definitions of expenditure accounts; (5) Classification of clearing accounts; (6) Definitions of clearing accounts; (7) Determining per-pupil expenditures; (8) Prorating expenditures; (9) A guide for recording receipts; (10) A guide for recording expenditures; (11) Supplies and equipment; and (12) Glossary of terms.

President Eisenhower, in his commencement address at Baylor University, called upon American universities, supported by private foundations, to devote themselves to the development of educational facilities abroad in areas where such facilities are inadequate or are entirely lacking. At the same time he pointed out the need for the development of knowledge and understanding of other peoples by our own people. His appeal was directed primarily toward education beyond the secondary school and emphasized action by nongovernmental agencies. To stimulate interest among educational institutions, private foundations and other groups, a survey of programs that are already in progress will undoubtedly be of value. This is the purpose of this report. The survey will restrict itself to programs concerned with higher education. More specifically, it will emphasize those programs that lead to the establishment of new centers of learning or the development of existing ones. The survey is presented in three parts: Part I, nongovernmental programs; Part II, United States Government programs; and Part III, participating colleges and universities. The material for Part I was selected from the annual reports, documents, and correspondence of nongovernmental institutions and organizations. Part II presents a broad perspective of United States Government programs, including many that cannot be catalogued on an institutional basis. Part III presents a detailed listing of all institutions, American and foreign, that are participating in programs discussed in this survey, including brief descriptions of specific projects. A selected bibliography is also included. (Contains 61 footnotes.) [This document was prepared with the cooperation of The Inter-Agency Committee on The President's Baylor Proposals.

Costs of Attending College: A Study of Student Expenditures and Sources of Income. Bulletin, 1957, No. 9

Financing higher education for a growing number of young men and women in the face of steadily rising costs is becoming a crucial problem in the United States. This report is concerned with one major aspects of the problem: namely, what it costs students to attend college and where they get the money for this purpose. Next to the student and his family, those who finance, govern, and administer colleges and universities are most concerned lest the spiraling costs make it necessary to continue raising tuition and fees until the usual clientele of an institution can no longer attend it. These persons are equally concerned that increased living costs at college may have the same effect. Within limitations set by an expanding economy, both those who provide education and those who acquire it want to know the extent to which these increasing costs are inevitable and the bearing they may have on some of the cherished ideals of the American way of life. In an effort to throw some light on the character of the costs students incur in attending college and on their sources of income for this purpose, the United States Office of Education in 1953 studied the problem as it was faced by full-time, single undergraduate students in 110 colleges that are located in 41 of the 48 States and the District of Columbia. This report presents an analysis of the data obtained from replies to a questionnaire received from 15,316 students, a random sampling of those attending what is believed to be a reasonably representative group of institutions of higher education. The implications of the findings should be of use to students and parents, to those who govern and administer colleges, to public and private agencies, and to individuals who provide financial assistance to college students, to taxpayers, and to those who voluntarily aid in the support of higher education in this country. A bibliography is included. The following are appended: (1) Schedule for Gathering Data; (2) Data Arranged by Cooperating Institutions; and (3) How the Study was Conducted. (Contains 15 tables, 12 figures, and 6 footnotes.) [The following provided assistance in the preparation of this bulletin: Granville K. Thompson, Robert E. Iffert, James A. Van Zwoll, Henry M.

Teachers of Children Who Are Socially and Emotionally Maladjusted: A Report Based on Findings from the Study "Qualification, and Preparation of Teachers of Exceptional Children." Bulletin, 1957, No. 11
Author: Mackie, Romaine P.
Date: 1957-00-00

One of the major aims of the schools is to develop well integrated and socially adjusted citizens. When personal-social difficulties arise, the schools frequently are called upon to cooperate in programs of prevention and habilitation. The schools, therefore, can and should occupy a critically important position in this as well as in other programs for exceptional children. This is the essential reasoning behind the present publication. it attempts, in an exploratory and preliminary way, to give serious consideration to the appropriate role of the teacher in a program for the socially and emotionally maladjusted, primarily through an analysis of the specific and distinctive competencies that will be required to do a good job in this area. Some of the experiences in teacher preparation that might be helpful are also given consideration. This publication is one of a series resulting from the broad study, "Qualification and Preparation of Teachers of Exceptional Children," conducted by the Office of Education in cooperation with many leaders in the education of exceptional children and youth throughout the United States. It is hoped that the information presented here will bring about an improved understanding of the competencies that contribute to successful teaching of socially maladjusted children and youth. It is also hoped that the information in this publication will serve not only as an instrument for self-evaluation for teachers, but also as a guide for future planning of State and local standards for teachers, and for colleges and universities offering professional preparation for the teachers of these children. Topics covered include the following: (1) The Teacher and the Maladjusted Child: Background to the Study; (2) Competencies Identified and Described by a Committee; (3) Teachers' Evaluation of Competencies; (4) Evaluations of Specific Professional Experiences; (4) Summary and Highlights; and (5) The Teacher Competencies Check List. The following are appended: (1) Office of Education Study: "Qualification and Preparation of Teachers of Exceptional Children"; (2) Information about the 75 Teachers of Maladjusted Children Who Participated in the Study; (3) Additional Information on Statistical Procedures and Results; and (4) Excerpts from Inquiry Forms.

On June 8, 1955, Dr. Alina M. Lindegren of the United States Office of Education, arrived in Bonn for a 6-week educational visit to the Federal Republic of Germany. When she mentioned that she had been on a similar mission to Germany in 1935 she was told, &quot;Much has, happened since then. We believe you will find many changes.&quot; Much had happened - World War II and a decade of postwar recovery. In the following pages the author tells of some of the changes in education which she saw or felt. The purpose of this Bulletin is to note the changes or trends in education in the Federal Republic of Germany as seen or felt in 1955 by one who, 20 years before in 1935, had similar firsthand contact with education in Germany. Reference to education in other periods is made to the extent necessary for an understanding and appreciation of the significance of the changes made or in progress. A bibliography is provided. (Contains 6 graphs and 45 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
