Communicating with prospective students has undergone a profound transformation in the past ten years. Campus marketing--like marketing for any organization--had to adapt first to the Internet and e-mail and now to new social media formats like social networking and blogging. A recent survey of 1,000 college-bound seniors, however, shows that prospective students not only value quality content, they are willing to read a great deal of the most valuable content on college Web sites. In addition, the majority of students said that if a college's Web site content did not meet their expectations, they would be disappointed or even consider dropping that college from their search. This report will explore what these college-bound students revealed about their online expectations, preferences, and behaviors. These students detailed what they felt about the content, organization, and look of college Web sites, and how much those elements factor into their enrollment decisions. (Contains 3 footnotes.)

Subjects: Academic Degrees,Student Attitudes,First Generation College Students,Colleges,Anxiety,College Freshmen,Undergraduate Students,Student Motivation,Student Surveys,Financial Problems,Two Year College Students,Two Year Colleges,National Surveys,Financial Needs,Comparative Analysis,Scholarships,Student Employment

This report describes the self-reported attitudes and motivations of first-year college students nationally at the beginning of their undergraduate experience, based on a 100-item attitudinal survey administered in the summer and fall of 2008. In particular, the report examines student attitudes that may pose barriers and opportunities for students as they begin their pursuit of an academic degree. Highlighted in this year's report are findings that described students' financial anxiety. Among these were the following: (1) Less than half of entering undergraduates nationwide (46.4 percent) reported that they had adequate financial resources to finish college; (2) Approximately one-third of all respondents (29.3 percent) reported that they had financial challenges that were "very distracting and troublesome"; and (3) First-generation students brought higher levels of financial stress than non-first generation students, and students at two-year institutions brought higher levels of financial anxiety than their counterparts at four-year institutions.

Scouting continues to enjoy the cordial endorsement of school men everywhere in the US. More and more those interested are coming to see the enormous possibilities of cooperation between the scout movement and the schools. Many schools now give credit for scout work done outside of the schools. Many more are in hearty sympathy with the program as an extraschool activity. This bulletin discusses the educational work of the boy scouts. Contents of this bulletin include: (1) Scouting and the schools; (2) Scouting and citizenship; (3) The pioneer scout; (4) Seascouting, a branch of the Boy Scouts of America; (5) National Councils endeavor to discover vital facts in regard to the boyhood of the Nation; (6) International aspects of scouting; (7) Scout handbooks, organs, and other literature; and (8) Motion pictures for boys.

The period of participation of the United States in the recent war witnessed a revival of interest in training for business with a consequent experimentation in all types and grades of schools, as well as through nonschool agencies, governmental and otherwise. A survey of this field for the two years ending June 30, 1920, reveals an interest even greater than that of the preceding two years for traditional schools, but indicates a subsidence of interest and discontinuance of experimental effort on the part of some nonschool agencies particularly branches of the Federal Government. Three recent foundations present new developments. They have their inception in the definite belief that training will lead to a larger and more practical application of pertinent principles of the economics of business to the specific problems of one or more of the major factor in industry and commerce. These new foundations are: Trade-union colleges; the Industrial University of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., and the announcement that plans are under way for the establishment by the National Association of Corporation Schools of an industrial and commercial university for the purpose of making investigations and conducting courses to train efficient, executives in all departments of the field of personnel relations in industrial and commercial life. Contents of this bulletin include: (1) New Developments; (2) Training and education; (3) Recent surveys; (4) Training in retail selling; (5) Commercial teacher training; (6) Foreign service training; (7) Foreign trade training survey; (8) Commercial engineering; and (9) Related activities of Federal bureaus.

The Second National Conference on Education in February was held under the auspices of the School of Forestry of Yale University at New Haven, Connecticut on December 17 and 18, 1920. Its purpose was to discuss the question: To what extent and in what ways is it desirable to revise the standardized curriculum of instruction in forestry that for the past 10 years has been more or less closely followed by the leading forest, schools of the United States? That curriculum was the outcome of the First National Conference on Education in Forestry, held in December, 1909, when was appointed a committee on standardization of instruction in forestry that published its final report in the Forestry Quarterly for September, 1912 (Vol. X, No. 3). The second conference on professional forestry education was called by Dean Toumey of the Yale School of Forestry, after consultation with other foresters engaged in educational work. Those in attendance represented, personally or by proxy, all the forest schools in the country that offer courses leading to a forestry degree, or that otherwise train men for the practice of forestry as a profession. Through the courtesy of the United States Commissioner of Education the proceedings of the conference are made of permanent record in this bulletin, the conference having very gladly accepted the commissioner's offer to incorporate this material in a publication of the Bureau of Education. Appended are: (1) List of committees of second national conference on education in forestry; and (2) Forest schools having 4-year curricula. An index is included. Individual sections contain footnotes. (Contains 6 tables.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

There are many people of middle age in America still who do not believe in play. They grew up without playgrounds themselves and they do not realize how greatly conditions have changed during the intervening years. When the author was a boy in southern Michigan the school session in his country community was only four months a year. Under these conditions the school may rightfully give its entire energy to scholastic subjects and trust to the children finding time for play and industrial training during outside hours. But as the school takes over more and more of the child's time and energy and grows from a 4-month term to a 5 or 10 month term, with a tendency toward a yet longer year, and a yet longer day, it becomes necessary that the school shall make provision for all sides of the child's nature. It is impossible to develop a high degree of motor skill unless the muscles and coordinations are trained during the period of growth. The best time for physical training is the period of the elementary school. During this time there is little physical work; probably not more than 5 per cent of the pupils have regular access to a gymnasium, and their chief source of physical development is play and athletics. The war revealed that about one-third of young men from 21 to 31 were unfit for military service, and the War Department officials tell that at least, half of the physical unfitness would have been overcome if these young people had had proper physical training during their youth. The war has demonstrated the great value of athletic sports in developing initiative, courage, resourcefulness, quickness of though in tie of danger and all the qualities which make a capable soldier.

The Girl Scouts, a national organization, is open to any girl who expresses her desire to join and voluntarily accepts the promise and the laws. The object of the Girl Scouts is to bring to all girls the opportunity for group experience outdoor life, and to learn through work, but more by play, to serve their community. Patterned after the Girl Guides of England, the sister organization of the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts have developed a method of self-government and a variety of activities that appear to be well suited to the desires of the girls, as the 89,864 and the 2,500 new applicants, scouts appears each month testify. This bulletin discusses the educational work of the Girl Scouts. Contents of this bulletin include: (1) History and Growth; (2) Activities; (3) Methods; and (4) Organization.

Engineering Education after the War. Bulletin, 1921, No. 50

The period covered by this paper followed the demobilization of that experiment in education under war conditions known as the Students' Army Training Corps. During the early part of 1917 many engineering students withdrew from the school of engineering to enter different branches of the Army and Navy of the United States, and others at this time, and even during the previous years from the outbreak of the World War in 1914, withdrew to enter the service of our allies or to become Red Cross drivers or workers. These withdrawals, followed by withdrawals due to the application of the Selective Service Draft Law, made it clear that steps must be taken to provide the Nation with men trained in engineering to fill the numerous  places created by the war in the service of the United States and in the industries. For the purpose of conserving the engineers in training, the Engineer Corps of the United States Army made provision to enlist engineering students of the proper age in a Reserve Officers' Corps and to assign them back to their colleges to complete their engineering work. This did not prove entirely satisfactory, and its inadequacy was soon manifest. To care for all branches of the service, and to train men as officers, the colleges and universities of the country were organized to receive and train members of the Students' Army Training Corps. Topics covered in this bulletin include: (1) Students' Army Training Corps; (2) Proposed schedule of studies for the four engineering courses as proposed by the Committee on Educational and Special Training: civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and chemical engineering; (3) Schedule of studies submitted by the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute: civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and chemical engineering; (4) Latest developments in engineering education; (5) Business administration; (6) Junior colleges; (7) Resume; (8) Data from replies; and (9) Data from catalogues.
