The information in this bulletin was compiled from recent catalogues where available, and from a questionnaire issued by the Bureau of Education. Some schools that should have been included have been omitted by reason of lack of direct information. The list is in the nature of a directory and carries no endorsement of any school by the Bureau of Education. The schools included range from those of elementary grade, giving a few fundamental industrial courses, to schools of college grade that, in addition to their degree-granting courses, also offer some trade courses. Only the trade and industrial work offered by any of the schools is noted. The tuition fees are liable to variation from year to year, and the tendency to increase over previous catalogue reports is evident in many cases. Contents include: (1) Schools arranged alphabetically according to States; (2) Corporation schools; (3) Correspondence schools and schools offering home-study courses; and (4) Private and endowed collegiate schools of technology. (Contains 2 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
Statistics of Education of the Negro Race 1925-1926. Bulletin, 1928, No. 19
Author: Blose, David T.
Date: 1928-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Enrollment,Elementary Education,African American Education,Land Grant Universities,Public Schools,Average Daily Attendance,Statistical Data,High Schools,State Departments of Education,African Americans,Tables (Data),Instructional Program Divisions,Financial Support,Teacher Education,Institutes (Training Programs),Private Schools,Expenditures,Educational Environment,Teacher Salaries,Minority Group Teachers

This report includes statistics of the various forms of institutions that have to do with the education of the Negro race in the United States. These statistics are taken from the best available information furnished by State departments of education, private high schools and academies, teacher-training institutions, and colleges, universities, and professional schools for the year 1925-26. In a few cases, as noted, where 1926 information could not be secured, the last available information is used. Much valuable information on elementary education in certain sections of the country where segregation is not practiced could not be secured, as no separate records are kept for the different races. Most of the information included in these tables is found in several other bulletins of the Bureau of Education, but it is thought to be more desirable to have this information collected into a single publication. Table 1 gives the development of Negro education from the year 1917-1918 to 1926. Table 2 shows the public-school enrollment in 18 Southern States. Table 3 shows the average daily attendance, aggregate days attended, and number of teachers in 17 States. Table 4 gives the enrollment by grades in public schools of 17 States where separate records of this kind are furnished. Table 5 gives a distribution of pupils by grades in public schools in 12 States biennially, beginning with the year 1919-1920 and ending with the year 1925-1926. Tables 6 and 7 give teachers, pupils, property, and receipts for private institutions of secondary and higher rank. Tables 8 to 10, inclusive, with reference to Figure 1, explain the present condition of public high schools, and show the number of teachers and pupils, kinds of schools, and their rapid growth during the last 20 years. Tables 11 to 15, inclusive, show conditions of teacher-training institutions. Figure 2 illustrates the enrollment in public teacher-training institutions. Tables 16 to 20, inclusive, give a list of privately controlled colleges, universities, and professional schools, with a full detail of the number of teachers and students, courses offered, property, receipts, and endowments. Tables 21 to 24, inclusive, give the students, teachers, property, receipts, and expenditures of institutions receiving financial aid from the United States Government under provisions of the various acts relating to land-grant colleges, 12 of which are also listed under public teacher-training institutions. Tables 25 and 26 give lists of the public and private high schools. (Contains 26 tables and 2 figures.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
Laws Relating to Compulsory Education. Bulletin, 1928, No. 20
Author: Keesecker, Ward W.
Date: 1928-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Attendance,Child Neglect,Compulsory Education,State Departments of Education,State Legislation,Educational Legislation,At Risk Students,Child Labor,Nontraditional Education,Disabilities,Special Education,Law Enforcement,Attendance Patterns

In the United States, education is not only free and public, but it is compulsory in all continental United States and in its principal outlying parts. The aim in this study is to present in a summary manner what appear to be the most interesting legislative features of compulsory education systems in the various States: (1) When did the States first enact compulsory education laws?; (2) What are the various ages at which children are admitted and required to attend school?; (3) What educational requirements are necessary to exempt them from attendance?; (4) How much education is required for labor permits?; (5) What States require educational relief to dependent or neglected children?; (6) How much school attendance is required in the various States?; (7) What States provide for compulsory attendance at part-time, continuation, or evening schools?; (8) To what extent do States  require the education of handicapped children?; and (9) What constitutes the machinery for enforcing compulsory education in the various States? These are but a few of the questions often asked by school administrators, teachers, and others in the States; these are also among the many questions this study endeavors to answer. It is not the aim here to discuss the relative merits of the various features of compulsory education laws found in the different States; the aim is rather to present briefly and clearly what seem to be some interesting features of such laws as enacted by the States. The aim is to present as many of these features as practical; and to do so, discussion of the same has been limited mainly to appropriate explanatory notes and remarks. There may be rules relative to school attendance adopted by various school boards or superintendents which are not shown here, as attention has been given chiefly to legislative enactments. The method followed in this attempt consisted in the preparation in this bureau of a summary of various features of compulsory education laws in all the States. A digest of some of these features was prepared for each State and transmitted to the respective State departments of education for review, with a request for any changes that might be deemed necessary in order that it might include recent and complete legislation on the subject. For the purpose of this study, the District of Columbia is treated as a State. (Individual chapters contain footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.
Requirements for High-School Graduation. Bulletin, 1928, No. 21
Author: Jessen, Carl A.
Date: 1928-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: School Effectiveness,Graduation Requirements,School Counseling,Graduation,Educational History,High School Graduates,Elective Courses,State Standards,Academic Standards,High Schools,Urban Schools

This bulletin sets forth the results of a study of requirements for high-school graduation. It is believed that graduation requirements constitute a better index to a school's objectives than curriculum offerings, for if a subject is required for graduation, it must be studied, without regard to the pupil's desire. One of the important developments in American secondary education during the past 30 years has been the widespread adoption of the elective system. Various devices have been developed to make election of courses a matter for more deliberate consideration and less aimless choice. Advance registration, the counseling system, educational guidance, and similar plans are all designed to cause the pupil to examine values of subjects which he selects. In addition, certain restrictions are imposed which plainly limit his free election of subjects. Regulations of this latter type are usually incorporated into graduation requirements. Graduation requirements as they exist in the various States, and in individual high schools throughout the Nation, form the basis for the investigation. The contents of this bulletin include: (1) Letter of Transmittal; (2) Introduction: The elective system and graduation requirements; (3) Principles governing graduation requirements; (4) State requirements; (5) City requirements; (6) Graduation requirements of individual schools; and (7) Conclusion: The typical graduation requirement.

Activities in higher education during the biennium 1924-1926 do not seem to have been inspired merely by the desire to pacify criticism of details or to patch up weak spots in the educational fabric. The tendency was to &quot;raise the previous question concerning the functions of colleges and universities and to modify procedures to serve more perfectly the purposes accepted as basic. This survey of higher education during the two years is an attempt to present briefly some of the events of action and of discussion which have promoted or obstructed the tendencies to restate higher educational objectives and to reconstitute college and university organization and procedures. Chapters include (1) Higher education (Arthur J. Klein); (2) Medical education (N. P. Colwell); (3) Recent movements in city school systems (W. S. Deffenbaugh); (4) Progress of rural education (Katherine M. Cook); (5) Trends in the development of secondary education (Eustace E. Windes); (6) School hygiene and physical education (James F. Rogers); (7) Industrial education (Maris M. Proffitt); (8) Achievements in home economics education (Emeline S. Whitcomb); (9) Commercial education (J. O. Malott); (10) Public education of adults (L. R. Alderman); (11) Nursery-kindergarten-primary education (Mary Dabney Davis); (12) Preparation of teachers (William McK. Robinson); (13) Educational surveys (Arthur J. Klein, Walter S. Deffenbaugh, Timon Covert, and Edith A. Lathrop); (14) The parent-teacher associations (Margaretta W. Reeve and Ellen C. Lombard); (15) Educational boards and foundations (Henry R. Evans); (16) Work of the Bureau of Education for the natives of Alaska (William Hamilton); (17) Major trends of education in other countries (James F. Abel); (18) Statistical survey of education, 1925-26 (Frank M. Phillips); (19) Statistics of State school systems, 1925-26; (20) Statistics of city school systems, 1925-26; (21) Statistics of universities, colleges, and professional schools, 1925-26; (22) Statistics of teachers' colleges and normal schools, 1925-26 (Frank M. Phillips); (23) Statistics of public high schools, 1925-26; (24) Statistics of private high schools and academies, 1925-26; and (25) Statistics of private commercial and business schools, 1924-25.

Accredited Secondary Schools in the United States. Bulletin, 1928, No. 26
Author: Phillips, Frank M.
Date: 1929-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Accreditation (Institutions),Secondary Schools,Graduates,State Departments of Education,State Universities,Evaluation Methods,Definitions,State Schools,Institutional Evaluation,Standards,College Admission,Admission Criteria,Teacher Qualifications,Administrative Organization

Secondary education continues to grow and expand while the number of high-school graduates increases from year to year. The percentage of graduates who continue on to a higher institution is also on the rise. Thus, a list of those secondary schools that do a standard quantity and quality of work is imperative for those who wish to apply for admission. The work of inspecting and of approving these secondary schools is done by the agents of State departments of education, by representatives of State universities, and by certain regional accrediting associations. Any revised list is accurate and complete only at the time it is compiled because new high schools are being organized at the rate of two each day, and the work of approving these schools is never finished.  Included in this bulletin: (1) Accredited secondary school defined; (2) Unit defined; (3) Variations in requirements of accrediting agencies; (4) Methods of accrediting; (5) State lists; (6) Lists of schools accredited by various associations. (Contains 9 footnotes.)  [Best copy available has been provided.]
Helps for Teachers of Adult Immigrants and Native Illiterates. Bulletin, 1928, No. 27
Author: Alderman, L. R.
Date: 1928-00-00
Type: Guides - Classroom - Teacher
Subjects: Immigrants,Illiteracy,Adult Literacy,English,English (Second Language),Second Language Learning,Second Language Instruction,Literacy Education,Census Figures,Teacher Qualifications,Extension Education,Universities,Colleges,Native Speakers,Race,Cooperation,Citizenship Education,Womens Education,Inplant Programs,Recordkeeping,Course Organization,Adult Education

The instruction of both native and foreign-born persons in the essentials of the English language, numbers, civics, geography, and history is an important task. The United States Bureau of the Census reports that in 1920, nearly 5,000,000 of our population over 10 years of age could not write in any language. The number who need instruction in elementary subjects is relatively large, and there is a growing demand for trained men and women to teach these subjects to adults. The teaching of the adult immigrant or native illiterate is a highly specialized work, needing carefully selected teachers who have specific training to carry on this endeavor. For this reason, this bulletin on methods and teaching aids is presented with the hope of meeting the needs of instructors of extension courses in universities, colleges, normal schools, and of the teachers of classes of adult immigrants and native illiterates.

The Rural Junior High School. Bulletin, 1928, No. 28
Author: Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education (ED)
Date: 1928-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Career Guidance,Secondary Education,Junior High Schools,Rural Schools,Institutional Characteristics,State Departments of Education,Legal Responsibility,Educational Administration,Program Development,Social Environment,Educational Environment,Individual Differences,School Guidance

This bulletin contains a report on the development of the rural junior high school.  Since their introduction in 1909, junior high schools have steadily advanced in the favor of school administrators, and they now seem likely to cause a revolution in the organization of American secondary education. Among many other advantages claimed for them, it is said that they afford easy transition from the classroom of the elementary school to the departmental teaching of the the higher schools: that through them the introduction of the pupil to advanced methods of instruction is better timed with reference to his physical development; that they offer excellent means of exploration and of vocational guidance. In rural areas the development of junior high schools has lagged, although it appears that such schools should be especially suited to rural conditions. Study of the situation is clearly needed. The creation of the National Committee on Research in Secondary Education offered exceptional opportunity for such study, and at the instance of Dr. John J. Tigert, then Commissioner of Education, a subcommittee of that organization was constituted for the purpose under the chairmanship of Dr. Emery N. Ferriss.  The report of the subcommittee is presented herein. (Contains 30 tables and 21 footnotes.) [Report of a Subcomittee of the National Committee on Research in Secondary Education.
