A Statistical Study of the Public Schools of the Southern Appalachian Mountains. Bulletin, 1915, No. 11. Whole Number 636
Author: Frost, Norman
Date: 1915-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Statistical Analysis,Topography,Counties,Geographic Regions,Economic Progress,Educational Development,Tables (Data),Statistical Data,Attendance,Transportation,Illiteracy,Enrollment,Expenditures

Information concerning educational conditions in the southern Appalachian region is scattered, fragmentary, and often partisan to the assumption either that conditions are ideal or that they are inconceivably bad. The purpose of this study is to draw together the available facts in the case. Necessarily, this study is largely statistical. The territory covered has been selected with the advice of school men familiar with conditions in the respective States. Practically all of this mountain region is included in 216 counties, lying in the 8 States of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. These are referred to as the &quot;Appalachian Counties.&quot; Many of them are only partially mountainous, but are included because they lie wholly within the Appalachian region. Of these 216 counties, 98 are referred to as the &quot;mountain counties.&quot; These include the more rugged counties, where the topography and economic conditions are most unfavorable to progress in education. The data used in the tables are taken from the Federal Census of 1910 and from the school reports of the respective States. In every instance the latest information available has been used. In the course of the study six counties were visited. These were selected counties which might be considered as representative of the different types. The counties visited were Buchanan and Wise in Virginia; and Blount, Cumberland, Hancock, and Hawkins in Tennessee. Individual sections contain footnotes. (Contains 16 plates and 16 tables.)

Civic Education in Elementary Schools as Illustrated in Indianapolis. Bulletin, 1915, No. 17. Whole Number 642
Author: Dunn, Arthur W.
Date: 1915-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Citizenship Education,Social Life,Civics,Elementary Schools,Social Studies,Teaching Methods,Lesson Plans,Classroom Techniques,Student Participation,Governance,School Community Relationship,Arithmetic,History Instruction,Costs,Industry,Industrial Education

This description of the plan of civic education in the Indianapolis elementary schools has been prepared because of a growing, general interest in the subject, and because of the numerous inquiries as to existing methods of organized elementary civic training. The Indianapolis teachers and school authorities would be the last to claim that they have spoken the final word on the subject. Indeed, one of the characteristics of the Indianapolis course of study is its constant readjustment to immediate needs in light of current experience. Even as this is being written, the course of study in arithmetic is being revised, largely from the point of view of its civic relations. The civic aspect of education permeates the entire work of the elementary schools in this city, and it is believed that a description of how one community handles the problem may prove suggestive to others. Community civics was first introduced in the elementary schools of Indianapolis in the second half of the eighth grade. With the success of this experiment assured, attention was turned to the practicability of extending systematic civic training into the lower grades. The result is a course of study in which the civic aspects of the child's education are emphasized throughout the elementary schools, from the first grade through the eighth. An outline of this course of study, so far as it relates directly to civic education is provided herein. [Best copy available has been provided.]
Legal Education in Great Britain. Bulletin, 1915, No. 18. Whole Number 643
Author: Richards, H. S.
Date: 1915-00-00

Admission to the legal profession in England is controlled by organizations representing the solicitors and barristers, the two great divisions into which the profession is divided. this control by private organizations is peculiar to England, and a proper appreciation of the present condition and tendencies in English legal education therefore requires a somewhat detailed account of these societies and their activities. The division of the profession into two classes, the solicitors and barristers, does not exist in the United States. The activities of the solicitor correspond, roughly, to those of the so-called office lawyer in America, while the barrister corresponds to the trial lawyer. The solicitor may appear as an advocate in the inferior courts and in noncontroversial matters in chambers before judges of the High Court. By the conveyancing act passed in 1881, the solicitor is permitted to do all kinds of conveyancing, a field formerly belonging exclusively to the barrister. The barrister's chief function is to conduct trials before the High Court; he is employed by the solicitor and does not come in contact with the client in the first instance. This bulletin on Legal Education in Great Britain provides further details on the following topics: (1) The law society; (2) The law school of the law society; (3) Correspondence courses; (4) Organization of legal education; (5) The barristers; (6) Other law schools; (7) Preliminary education; (8) The inns of courts; (9) Entrance examinations at Oxford and Cambridge; (10) Scottish universities; (11) Conclusions as to preliminary education; (12) Intermediate examinations; (13) Council of legal education; (14) Intermediate examination at the Universities; (15) Final examinations; (16) Degrees; (17) Honors; (18) Calls to the bar; (19) Methods of instruction; and (20) In general.

The Rural School System of Minnesota: A Study in School Efficiency. Bulletin, 1915, No. 20. Whole Number 647

Through what seems to be a very wise adaptation of methods of support and administration to schools of different kinds and to schools working under varying conditions in different parts of the State, but still preserving a high degree of correlation and unity of purpose, and by a commendable degree of liberality in expenditures for education, the State of Minnesota has made remarkable progress in improving the efficiency of its rural schools. Believing that an  account of this improvement, and of the methods and means by which it has been wrought, would be helpful to those working for the improvement of rural schools in other States, Harold W. Fought, one of the bureau's specialists in rural education, was detailed to go to Minnesota and study its rural schools and prepare such an account for publication. The accompanying manuscript embodies the results of his studies. An appendix presents: (1) Rules and regulations of the Minnesota State Department of Education; (2) Regulations of the State high-school board; (3) Typical short courses; and (4) Plans of State supervisor of teacher training in high schools. (Contains 6 footnotes, 10 plates, and 4 figures.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
An Investigation of How Lecturers' Teaching Strategies Promote Productive Classroom Interaction

Both the Mainland and Hong Kong have witnessed the trend of educational internationalisation since the handover. The recruitment of non-local students is regarded as an important strategy to internalise universities in Hong Kong. Within Hong Kong's western-style educational setting, an increasing number of Mainland students attracted by the English-medium education and widely adopted western-oriented pedagogy have become the majority non-local students. Studies explored the adjustment experiences of Mainland students to study in Hong Kong and found evidence that the adjustment of the host group was as difficult as the sojourning group did in classroom interaction. Nevertheless, limited research examines the role of teachers in promoting interaction between diverse learners from pedagogical perspective. Effective teaching strategies can enhance positive classroom interaction. There is substantial literature within disciplines, such as healthcare, economics, and teacher education, but there is little investigation of effective strategies in English that studies as a discipline, particularly, in the new context of the HKSAR (Hong Kong Special Administrative Region), PRC (People's Republic of China). This paper attempted to investigate how lecturers' teaching strategies promoted productive interaction through surveys in the discipline of English. The results should have implications for other worldwide institutions other than Hong Kong involved in enhancing quality teaching and learning in higher education. (Contains 5 tables.)

This article is a working paper presenting a network building cooperative project between Umea University in Sweden and Zhejiang University in China. The project focuses on parents' involvement and home-school collaboration in Sweden and China and has an ambition to entail a set of empirical objectives: (1) to map and compare the systems, policies, curricula, and resources dealing with home-school collaboration in Sweden and China at the national level; (2) to identify and analyze the similarities and differences in the definitions, foci, models, practices, and perspectives on home-school collaboration in the two countries at the local level; and (3) to identify and seek out good examples and models from both countries for communication and interaction among teachers, parents, and students. Following an introduction to the project design where a comparative case-study approach is presented, this article reviews policies and researches concerning home-school collaboration in Swedish and Chinese contexts. Cases from both countries are selected, described, and discussed. Relative issues for further study are suggested. (Contains 1 figure and 1 footnote.)
