Americanization as a War Measure: Report of a Conference Called by the Secretary of the Interior, and Held in Washington, April 3, 1918. Bulletin, 1918, No. 18

At the suggestion of the National Committee of One Hundred, the Advisory Council on Americanization to the United States Bureau of Education, the Secretary of the Interior called a conference on Americanization as a War Measure, which was held on April 3, 1918. Among those in attendance were governors, State officers, officials of commercial and industrial organizations and corporations, representatives of National and State Councils of Defense, and educators. On February 12, 1918, the Council of National Defense, at the request of the Bureau of Education of the Department of the Interior, sent to the State councils advance sheets of one of its bulletins, asking them to appoint a committee on Americanization, to perform two important functions: First, to assist the United States Bureau of Education in carrying out its national program. Second, to conduct and put through a State program for Americanization, for education. That bulletin contained an outline of the fundamental points in this National and State program. The Bureau of Education has now prepared a follow-up bulletin containing the first steps in that program. Those steps consist in the establishment of a war information service, for the purpose of bringing full knowledge of the aims and ideals in this war, of the relation of America to all other races and all matters that concern the alien and the foreign born in America, home to the individual aliens so that they will no longer be a prey to anti-American propaganda, and to ignorance and fear. During the conference reported on here, it was resolved &quot;That the honorable the Secretary of the Interior appoint a committee of nine members, representative of those in attendance at this meeting, including governors, chairmen of State Defense Councils, officials of commercial organizations and industrial corporations, and representatives of the workers of the nation, who shall ask a hearing before a joint session of the Senate and House Committees on Education for the purpose of furthering legislation that will give Federal direction and leadership to the movement for teaching the English language to the illiterates and non-English speaking persons of foreign origin residing in the United States and which will promote through the public schools, the systematic instruction of such persons in American ideals, standards, and citizenship.&quot; (Contains 1 footnote.)

Vocational Guidance in Secondary Education: A Report of the Commission on the Reorganization of Secondary Education Appointed by the National Education Association. Bulletin, 1918, No. 19

In no other country in the world do so many boys and girls receive regular high-school education of a general cultural type as in the United States, and the number of such boys and girls in this country is rapidly increasing, having more than doubled since 1905, and increased more than 60 per cent since 1910. American democratic ideals demand not only that all should have as nearly as possible equal opportunity for education, but also that all men and women should be employed in that form of work by which they may contribute most to their own happiness and to the common good. In this complex industrial and and economic life, it is little less wasteful to leave boys and girls without assistance and guidance in selecting their occupations and finding employment than it would be to leave them unaided in obtaining education. Both are necessary for the highest good to individual and society. But, as yet, there is less experience in vocational guidance than in education. For these reasons, the Commission on the Reorganization of Secondary Education, appointed by the National Education Association and cooperating with this bureau, has included the subject of vocational guidance in secondary education in its investigations. The term vocational guidance has been seriously misconstrued, and it is the purpose of this report to correct such misconceptions and to outline a comprehensive plan for exercising proper vocational guidance. Attention is called in particular to the scope of the program recommended whereby the secondary school becomes responsible for the vocational adjustment of all young people of secondary school age, whether in school or at work. This bulletin covers the following topics: (1) Committee on vocational guidance; (2) Reviewing committee of the Commission on the Reorganization of Secondary Education; (3) Purpose of the report; (4) Meaning and purpose of vocational guidance; (5) Limitations of the field of the report; (6) A brief description of various vocational guidance plans; (7) Vocational guidance program recommended; (8) Some important related topics; and (9) Reports of the Commission on the Reorganization of Secondary Education.

Instruction in Journalism in Institutions of Higher Education. Bulletin, 1918, No. 21

Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Higher Education,Journalism,Democracy,Journalism Education,Newspapers,Teaching Methods,Universities,Textbooks,Course Descriptions,Opinions

Probably the chief advantage which a democracy has over other forms of government and society lies in the fact that it constitutes within itself a great school, stimulating its citizens to the acquisition of information about public affairs and training them in intelligent thinking on all subjects of public-interest. In this school the public press is to a very large extent both textbook and teacher. As a democracy advances toward its ideals the truth of these principles is increasingly apparent. As the public interests which depend on the public press for presentation and as a channel of discussion become more numerous and complex the art of making the newspaper becomes more difficult and exacting, and the need for systematic instruction in it becomes greater and more apparent. It is out of the feeling of this need that the schools of journalism and the less pretentious courses of instruction in journalism have grown up in many institutions of higher education and have become so numerous as to justify the publication of this manuscript, which has been prepared by James Melvin Lee, director of the department of journalism, New York University. This bulletin covers the following topics: (1) Washington and Lee University; (2) Opinions of eminent journalists; (3) A beginning in real technical instruction (courses at the University of Pennsylvania); (4) Informal instruction at the University of Michigan; (5) Missouri Press Association; (6) Missouri University school of journalism; (7) Courses in other institutions; (8) Course proposed by Dr. Eliot; (9) Comment by Mr. Pulitzer; (10) Textbooks on various phases of newspaper work; (11) Technical courses in journalism; and (12) Institutions offering work in journalism.

In an earlier publication of the Bureau of Education Bulletin, 1915, No. 47, &quot;Digest of State Laws Relating to Public Education&quot; an effort was made to summarize all State school laws of a general nature which were in force on January 1,1915. The purpose of the bulletin presented here is to supplement the bulletin of 1915 with a compilation of the enactments of 1915, 1916, and 1917 which relate to education The legislatures of 43 states were in session in 1915--all in fact except those of Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, and Virginia which meet in even numbered years. In 1916, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Virginia held sessions of their legislative bodies and a special session was held in California. All state legislatures which met in 1945 were again in session in 1917, except that of Alabama, whose lawmakers meet once in four years. The legislation of the years included in this compilation is presented in digest, following the style of the bulletin which it is designed to supplement. Is is intended to include all enactments excepting those of distinctly local character and excepting ordinary appropriations. The same method of presentation is used as in former publications of this character. The various items are classified under an outline which begins with general state administrative provisions and proceeds through the entire public school system. The enactments of the Legislatures of Alaska, Hawaii, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico are included. Also includes an index. [Best copy available has been provided.]
Vocational Guidance and the Public Schools. Bulletin, 1918, No. 24

The problem of organizing human labor resources has suddenly emerged, like so many other social and economic problems, from the realm of the academic into that of the immediate and practical, largely under the stimulus of war necessity. Through the selective draft act, the Federal employment plan, and specialized training under the War Department, no less than through the vocational rehabilitation and vocational education laws, the United States has undertaken, as never before, to control the distribution of human service. In a sense this task that &quot;the Nation has been engaged in, that of training, enlisting, and selecting workers for the Army  for the essential industries, and for agriculture, is a gigantic experiment in vocational guidance. Appended are: (1) Typical Job Analyses from the Richmond and Minneapolis Vocational Education Survey; and (2) Public High Schools Reporting Vocation Bureaus or Similar Departments. A bibliography and index are included. (Contains 4 tables)
2013 Missouri Minimum Standards for School Buses
Author: Nicastro, Chris L.
Date: 2012-00-00
Type: Reports - Descriptive
Subjects: Safety,Student Transportation,Motor Vehicles,Bus Transportation,School Buses,State Standards,Maintenance

The revised minimum standards for school bus chassis and school bus bodies have been prepared in conformity with the Revised Statutes of Missouri (RSMo) for school bus transportation. The standards recommended by the 2010 National Conference on School Transportation and the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) promulgated by the U. S. Department of Transportation were used as guides in developing these Missouri standards. The standards herein adopted shall be considered minimum. The writing of specifications and the purchase of equipment may exceed the adopted minimum standards in safety and quality. The standards are adopted to provide statewide minimum standards consistent with safety and economy and to eliminate the manufacture of unsafe school buses. It is believed that these standards are sufficiently flexible to permit opportunity for the use of new inventions and improvements that will ensure greater efficiency and safety. This manual is divided into five sections: (1) General Provisions; (2) School Bus Types; (3) Bus Chassis Specifications; (4) Bus Body Specifications; and (5) Specifications for Specially Equipped School Buses. Appendices include: (1) School Bus Chassis and Body; and (2) 2013 Missouri Minimum Standards for School Buses Technical Advisory Committee. (Contains 4 figures, 2 tables and 2 charts.)
