Biennial Survey of Education in the United States, 1928-1930. Bulletin, 1931, No. 20. Volume I. Chapter I: School Administration and Finance
Author: Deffenbaugh, W. S.

This is the first time within recent years that a chapter on school administration and school finance has appeared in a biennial report of the Office of Education. In 1914, there was a published a chapter on Progress in Educational Administration and in 1923 a chapter on School Finance. Both the subjects of administration and finance have, however, been treated in numerous bulletins of the office and in various chapters on legislation and on city and rural schools that have appeared in the commissioner's biennial reports. Since no chapter devoted wholly to administration and finance has been prepared to show trends, this chapter instead of confining itself to happenings during the biennium, 1928-1930, attempts to show briefly for a number of years the trends in State and local school administration and in school finance. There being so many topics under the head of administration, and the amount of space allotted for this chapter being limited, only a few topics are included. Since certain phases of the organization and administration of elementary, secondary, and other types of school are treated in other chapters, that part of this chapter treating of administration is confined largely to State boards of education and to local units of school administration. Contents include: (1) School administration (W. S. Deffenbaugh); and (2) Public-school finance (Timon Covert). (Contains 19 tables and 14 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
Biennial Survey of Education in the United States, 1928-1930. Bulletin, 1931, No. 20. Volume I. Chapter II: Elementary Education

It is not a simple matter to attempt to summarize the achievements or point out the apparent tendencies in an educational program providing for 21,000,000 children, engaging the services of 600,000 teachers, and involving an annual expenditure, with public secondary education, of more than $2,000,000. Neither is it a simple matter to present a picture of the status of an elementary educational system the individual units of which vary in size and consequent administrative and instructional problems from the 1-room school in a sparsely populated city section with six or eight hundred pupils enrolled. Still a third complicating factor is that of the elementary school's rapidity of change--in type of organization, in type of curriculum, in variety of educational provisions, in instructional type. There are, however, certain evident factors of progress which deserve special comment. These factors are described in this bulletin. Other indications of progress or change, such as in growth, in enrollment, development of supervisory systems, organization of nursery schools, provision of instructional materials, and others will be noted in this bulletin. Contents include: (1) What is Elementary School?; (2) The Cost; (3) Progress of Pupils; (4) Supervision of Instruction; and (5) Research and Investigation in Elementary Education.

Art education in the United States has never been on a firmer footing than at the present time. It faces a future secure in the knowledge that during the past 10 years its social, economic, and educational values have been demonstrated and acknowledged and generally put into practice. Educational leaders no longer ignore it; rather one finds an attitude of receptivity and a desire to require it to function in every department of the school system. Not one but many causes have contributed in bringing this about. Perhaps the most important of these is a changing society and a new point of view. This chapter of the "Biennial Survey of Education in the United States, 1928-1930" discusses: (1) Early conditions; (2) Beginnings of art education; (3) Chart of art trends; (4) Changing point of view; (5) Curriculum changes in the United States; (6) The art teacher; (7) Elementary art education; (8) Major art experiences; (9) Correlation of art; (10) Art in the junior high school; (11) Art in the senior high school; (12) New course in New York City; (13) Encouragement of the talented; (14) Expressions from art leaders; (15) Summary of aims in art education; and (16) Other factors affecting art.

The preparation of young men and women in American universities and colleges for the numerous activities and responsibilities that engross the lives of the people has become one of the major enterprises of the country.

Part I: Growth and coordination of higher educational institutions contains the following sections: (1) Aspects of growth; (2) Problems resulting from expansion; (3) Higher educational associations; (4) Coordinating agencies for research; and (5) Surveys.

Help or Hindrance? The Effects of College Remediation on Academic and Labor Market Outcomes. Working Paper Version with Appendices

Type: Reports - Research
Subjects: Academic Achievement,Remedial Instruction,Labor Market,Outcomes of Education,Longitudinal Studies,Regression (Statistics),Education Work Relationship,Achievement Gains,Program Effectiveness,Developmental Continuity,Developmental Programs,Economic Impact,Student Placement,Educational Policy,Unemployment,Data Analysis,Statistical Data,Performance Based Assessment,Evidence,Inferences,Data Interpretation

Providing remedial (also known as developmental) education is the primary way colleges cope with students who do not have the academic preparation needed to succeed in college-level courses. Remediation is widespread, with nearly one-third of entering freshman taking remedial courses at a cost of at least $1 billion per year. Despite its prevalence, there is uncertainty surrounding its short- and longer-run effects. This paper presents new evidence on this question using longitudinal administrative data from Texas and a regression discontinuity research design. We find little indication that remediation improves academic or labor market outcomes. Additional data are appended. (Contains 32 footnotes, 11 tables, and 5 figures.)
