Educational Work of the Commercial Museum of Philadelphia. Bulletin, 1920, No. 13
Author: Toothaker, Charles R.
Date: 1921-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Teaching Methods,Museums,Industrial Education,Industry,Agricultural Education,Exhibits,Manufacturing Industry,Foreign Countries,International Trade

In industrial circles today the sciences and other subjects of a distinct practical nature are looked upon as more important than dead languages and classics; and as a result, technical trade, manual training, and commercial schools and colleges have increased in number, and added emphasis has been made in all schools on commerce and industries. Methods of instruction have materially changed and objects and pictures are considered essential factors in many courses of study. Museums are an efficient aid in this method of teaching, but they have been utilized more especially in teaching arts and natural sciences, rather than in the study of geography, commerce, and industry. It was not until the establishment of the commercial museum that the latter subjects were illustrated in such a manner as to be useful for educational or commercial purposes. This bulletin studies the work done by the commercial Museum of Philadelphia, which is carried on by two distinct departments--that of exhibits and that of the foreign trade bureau. The former has charge of the collection and exhibition of products illustrating American resources and those of other countries, and the educational work of the museum. The foreign trade bureau has for its object the development of the international commerce of the United States. It does this by encouraging individual manufacturers who are equipped for this business to seek new markets for their wares in foreign countries and by assisting them in inaugurating and developing this trade.

Lessons in Civics for the Six Elementary Grades of City Schools. Bulletin, 1920, No. 18
Author: Harris, Hannah Margaret
Date: 1920-00-00
Type: Guides - Classroom - Teacher
Subjects: Civics,Democracy,Elementary Education,Teaching Methods,Lesson Plans

There is no part of the education given in the schools of a democracy like this one that is of more importance to society and State than that which has to do with social and civic relations. The purpose of the lessons contained in this bulletin is to enable teachers of children in the elementary grades in city schools to make a good practical beginning in instruction in civics on the basis of experience and induction. Educators and citizens generally have never been more conscious of the need of instruction of this kind than now. (Contains 2 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
Statistics of Public High Schools, 1917-18. Bulletin, 1920, No. 19
Author: Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education (ED)
Date: 1920-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Statistical Data,High Schools,Test Results,Public Schools,Educational History,Comparative Analysis,Trend Analysis,Boards of Education,Classification,Tables (Data),Junior High Schools,Graduates,Educational Attainment,White Students,African American Students,Enrollment,Teacher Student Ratio,Salaries,Educational Finance,Rural Schools,Urban Schools

This bulletin presents the statistics of public high schools, revealing as far as possible the direct bearing of the data collected on current secondary school problems. To accomplish this end the presentation, necessarily, is divided into two fields: First, that making historical comparisons, and second, that showing present conditions. The first shows trend or evolution; the second, status or accomplishment. The former treatment is limited by the scope of all previous inquiries; the latter, only by the brevity of the statistical schedule now in use. As the statistics of public and private high schools were not tabulated separately previous to 1890, no attempt has been made to antedate this beginning in the establishment of historical trends. Where the statistics of private high schools have been incorporated, their inclusion has been definitely indicated. The basis used in separating the public and private high school is that of control. A secondary school &quot;controlled&quot; by a publicly elected or appointed board of education has been considered as a public high school--all others are private high schools or academies. As the classification adopted may not always conform to the local conception of a public or private high school, some of the schools locally considered as public may have been included in the report on private high schools, or vice versa. As the list of public high schools is very large, the detailed statistics of each school have not been printed. State summaries, however, have been made and grand summaries for the United States. The statistics have been focalized by means of graphic presentations, disclosing important relationships not readily apparent in tabular form. (Contains 95 tables.)

Salaries in Universities and Colleges in 1920. Bulletin, 1920, No. 20
Author: Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education (ED)
Date: 1920-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Educational History,Educational Finance,Salaries,College Faculty,Administrators,Deans,College Presidents,College Administration,Public Colleges,Private Colleges,School Statistics,National Surveys,Compensation (Remuneration)

Undoubtedly the most critical question now before the university and college public is the question of salaries. The avowed purpose of many of the drives for additional funds for the support of the higher institutions is the increasing of the salaries of college officers and teachers. It is well known that the general level of such salaries is far below what it was 10 years ago. The cause of university and college teachers, for which administrators are now earnestly working, can undoubtedly be assisted very greatly by having at hand fairly complete information concerning the present status of salaries. In order that such information may be available, the Bureau of Education has collected and compiled data regarding salaries paid in 1919-20 by 401 universities and colleges. The institutions furnishing reports include a considerable number whose teaching staffs consist largely, in some cases entirely, of members of religious orders who do not receive salaries for their  services. Such persons are not included in the summaries preceding the detailed statistics of individual institutions. Neither has it been possible to include in the summaries a considerable number of persons embraced in groups reported as receiving between certain minimum and maximum salaries. An examination of the statistical tables in this bulletin shows that the average salary for each position is higher in the public institutions than in the private institutions. This is due to the large number of small and weak institutions included in the latter class. Following a general statement on salaries in universities and colleges, the following topics are presented: (1) Summary of salaries of presidents; (2) Summary of salaries of deans and directors; (3) Summary of salaries of professors; (4) Summary of salaries of associate professors; (5) Summary of salaries of assistant professors; (6) Summary of salaries of instructors; (7) Summary of salaries of assistants; and (8) Detailed statistics of salaries paid by individual institutions in: (a) North Atlantic Division; (b) South Atlantic Division and Puerto Rico; (c) South Central Division; (d) North Central Division; and (e) Western Division and Hawaii.

Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Fuels,Leisure Time,Observation,Mining,Rural Schools,Geographic Regions,Citizenship,Attendance,Mental Retardation,Teacher Education,Teaching Experience,School Buildings,High Schools,Enrollment,Elementary School Curriculum,Kindergarten,Institutional Characteristics

This brief study is based upon several weeks' observation of schools and mining towns in what are considered the best districts in the bituminous coal region of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Alabama, and upon some years' acquaintance with mining town schools. An attempt has been made to point out in a general way the type of school that should be maintained in every mining community. Topics covered include: (1) General background; (2) The schools as they are; (3) How the children employ their leisure time; (4) The schools as they should be; and (5) Examples of mining-town schools. (Contains 8 illustrations and 8 tables.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
A School Building Program for Meriden, Connecticut. Bulletin, 1920, No. 22
Author: Fernandez, Alice Barrows
Date: 1920-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: School Buildings,School Community Relationship,Educational Facilities Improvement,Educational Facilities Design,School Construction,Social Influences,Environmental Influences,Industry,Fathers,Immigrants,Educational Environment,Play,Enrollment Trends,School Schedules,Population Trends,Attendance Patterns,Public Schools,Private Schools,Gender Differences,Age Differences,Deafness,Mental Retardation,Chronic Illness,Physical Disabilities

Transmitted herewith, is a report of the physical survey of the schools of Meriden, Connecticut, with suggestions and recommendations for a building program for the city. Two sets of recommendations for the building program are submitted. One is based on the usual plan of organization, through which a seat is provided for every child enrolled in the school, and, in addition to this, laboratories, gymnasiums, play rooms, etc., in proportion to the needs of the school or to the financial ability of the community. The other is based on the so-called work-study-play plan of organization, which provides for richer and more comprehensive courses of study and fuller daily programs so arranged that all units of the building and playground will be in constant use. This does not require a seat in the classrooms or study hall for every child, but may be very effectively carried out with one-half the number of  seats, thus making possible a very considerable saving in the cost of buildings. This is particularly important at this time, when cost of building is from 100 to 200 per cent more than it was before the war. This report will be of value not only to the citizens of Meriden, but to school officers and students of education elsewhere. (Contains 6 tables and 3 footnotes.)

Date: 2013-03-00
Type: Reports - Descriptive
Subjects: Databases,Special Education,Individualized Transition Plans,Individualized Education Programs,Access to Information,High School Students,Disabilities,Student Participation,Student Development,Family Involvement,Agency Cooperation

The CHOICES Project funded by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), U.S. Department of Education, addresses the need for ready access to information for parents, students, school, and community agency personnel regarding transitional and community support programs. At this time we have created two databases (student information and community information), five applications (student game, student survey, parent, teacher, community questionnaires) to populate those databases, and a web site to host them in addition to transition-related content.

A School Building Program for Gloucester, Massachusetts Bulletin, 1920, No. 23

Gloucester, Massachusetts, is about 25 to 75 years behind in the school building program. In the meantime social, industrial, and educational conditions have changed greatly, and it is now a serious menace to the welfare of the children of Gloucester and its coming citizenship that modern school facilities are not provided. Moreover, the people of Gloucester probably do not realize that by failing to provide modern buildings and equipment they are asking the school authorities to accomplish an almost impossible task. There is no question but that Gloucester will want to give the best possible education to its children once it realizes the deplorable conditions which now exist in the schools--conditions which all the zeal and intelligence and progressive spirit of the teaching force can not overcome; conditions which are a menace to the health and strength of the coming citizenship of Gloucester.  A report on such conditions and research into ways of improving said issues, is contained within. (Contains 2 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
