Supplement. AN - 63642385; ED205589 AB - Intended as a supplement to the Reading/Literature Released Exercise Set, 1979-80 Assessment, this collection exemplifies students' written responses to thirteen open-ended exercises. Each exercise, its objectives, subobjectives, administration guidelines, and national performance levels on the exercise, are documented. Detailed, age specific scoring rationales and guidelines are given for each exercise. One exercise may require very specific responses such as the identification and substantiation of character traits, whereas another might require any of a number of responses. In the instance of latter, guidelines are given for identification of the relevance of the response for classification of the response type, for example: the student may retell the passage; his response may be emotional, personal, egocentric, analytical, comparative or evaluative; he may generalize; or he may make inferences.

AN - 63637246; ED200898 AB - Highlighting the significant reading gains of 9-year-old students and, to a lesser extent, 13-year-old students, this report presents the results of three assessments surveying the reading skills of American 9-, 13-, and 17-year-old students during the 1970-71, 1974-75, and 1979-80 school years. The first chapter is introductory in nature, providing descriptions of the data base, measurement design, and terminology. The second, third, and fourth chapters present, respectively, national results for each age group. Within each of these chapters, results are presented also according to sex, race, region, parental education, and type and size of community. The fifth chapter presents performance results of racial groups by region and national results by "achievement class," a background variable used to examine national results within ranges of achievement. The sixth chapter considers the educational significance of the findings, putting the results in context. Appendixes contain (1) tables of summary results for the nation and reporting groups in three assessments; (2) tables of the results on exercises administered to 9- and 13-year-old students, 13- and 17-year-old students, and 9-, 13-, and 17-year-old students; and (3) exhibits for grade levels and size-of-community groups on all exercises administered in the three reading assessments.

Section 1 presents findings that summarize the occupational outcome data by major field of study. Since certain fields and occupations tend to attract members of one sex more than the other, occupational outcome is examined separately for males and females. Also, since the occupational outcomes of bachelor's recipients who are enrolled and who are not enrolled for an advanced degree may be different, occupational outcome is looked at separately for those enrolled and not enrolled for an advanced degree. The basic data tables presented in section 2 are designed to serve as reference tables for college students and others involved in the process of choosing a major field career. These tables provide profiles of occupation and employment status for the major fields of study covering all bachelor's recipients, men and women, and those enrolled and not enrolled for an advanced degree.

AN - 63637144; ED204208 AB - A sample of 1,373 museums was selected to represent the total sample of 4,408 nonprofit museums in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Museums in the sample were surveyed in 1979 by means of a survey questionnaire and informal interviews to provide data in five areas--finance, program, facilities, personnel, and museum priorities. For the purposes of the survey, a museum was defined as an institution organized on a permanent basis for essentially educational or aesthetic purposes that utilizes a staff, owns or uses tangible objects, and cares for these objects and exhibits them to the public on a regular basis. Highlights from survey findings include that approximately one-half of all nonprofit museums were primarily history museums, one-fifth were science museums, and an additional 14% were art museums. Findings also show that museums were fairly uniformly spread throughout the country; slightly over one-half of all museums had a membership program; almost half of museum operating income was earned and an estimated 14% of total operating income came from the Federal government; approximately two-thirds of all institutions had library facilities; slightly over one-half of all institutions had facilities for the physically handicapped; and approximately two-thirds of all museums had increasing educational roles, although the percentage of personnel devoted to educational responsibilities has remained substantially unchanged (approximately 9%) in recent years. As a priority, education ranked first, followed by exhibits, conservation, and research, respectively. The document concludes with a copy of the survey questionnaire and tables of data.

AN - 63646276; ED200389 AB - The vital, sometimes controversial contribution of private schools to American education is documented by data gathered from 1976 to 1979. Although the totals reported are estimates because many values had to be statistically imputed, many patterns emerge. The proportion of private schools to all schools has varied only slightly since 1932. Although the number of private schools is currently decreasing at a faster rate than the number of public schools, private enrollment shows a slower decline. Eighteen percent of all elementary and secondary schools are private. Private schools enroll over 10% of all students; employ 11% of all teachers; account for 10% of all high school graduates; and generate and spend about 6% of the total amount spent for elementary and secondary education. Among private schools, 80% have church affiliation; 50% are Catholic schools enrolling 64% of all private school pupils. Enrollments in Catholic schools are declining but those in other church schools are rising. Also, 65% of private schools are elementary level with 59% of all private schools students; 12% are secondary with 21% of the students; and 17% combine both levels with 18% of the students.

For bachelor's, master's, doctoral, and first-professional degrees, the following are considered: the overall picture, representation of women among degree recipients by field of study for 1979 as compared with 1971; and the relative popularity of different fields of study for men and women, and how this changed between 1971 and 1979. Among the findings are the following: in 1979, women accounted for 48.3 percent of the bachelor's degrees, 49.1 percent of the master's degrees, 13.8 percent of the doctoral degrees, and 23.6 percent of the first-professional degrees; education continued to be the most popular degree field for women at the bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree levels; for men, business and management was the most popular at the bachelor's and master's degree levels, while education was the most popular at the doctoral level. In addition, women continued to increase their representation in all eight of the first-professional fields, such as medicine and law, in which trends could be measured, but they are still a definite minority in all of these fields.

Information is presented on the source of the data, sample design, estimation procedure, reliability of the estimates, nonsampling variability, sampling error, and standard errors. Estimates for the SIE were based on data collected from personal interviews from U.S. households. Each state was divided into areas made up of counties and independent cities referred to as primary sampling units. The SIE sample was a stratified multistage cluster design. A ratio estimation procedure was used to correct for coverage deficiencies. Variance parameters for national estimates of college enrollment/attainment and income are provided for the analysis groups used in the series of reports on the characteristics of postsecondary students. The use of parameters along with a comparison of percentages are illustrated. The standard error for a difference between two sample estimates is also covered.

AN - 63540256; ED208687 AB - The seminar reported on was convened to discuss the findings of a study by Calvin J. Veltman on minority language usage past the first immigrant generation. Veltman discovered that minority languages in the United States are following the patterns of previous immigrant languages: while first generation newcomers speak their native language and learn some English, their offspring are likely to learn English first. The parents' language is seldom used by the majority in subsequent generations. A panel reacted to the findings as follows: (1) methodological difficulties regarding interpretation of results were presented, (2) Spanish language maintenance was cited as a fact, and (3) the belief was expressed that language assimilation should not be equated with cultural or ethnic assimilation. Implications of the findings and of the discussion for policy were set forth: (1) bilingual education alone will not curb trends in language attrition, although this is not a legitimate argument against bilingual education; (2) the need for a national language policy is clearer than before; (3) Hispanics are special; (4) the situation in the U.S. does not parallel that in Canada; and (5) the role of mass communication in assimilation is instrumental.

AN - 63539930; ED207769 AB - Effects of Federal education policy on rural and small school include inequities and neglect. Funding formulas based on concentrations of targeted pupils and average cost per pupil appear to deprive small and rural local education agencies (LEA) of a fair share of Federal education monies. Selection criteria such as density and Education Division General Administrative Regulations (plan of operation, quality of key personnel, time-committed-to-the-job, budget-and-cost-effectiveness, evaluation) penalize small and rural LEAs. Other regulatory and administrative practices that complicate, impede, and discourage small and rural LEA participation in Federal education programs are maintenance-of-effort provisions; matching requirements; paperwork burdens; a propensity to favor large over small grants; and difficulties in obtaining technical assistance and information about Federal programs. Suggestions for a rural initiative include: analysis of formula and criterion effects on rural and small LEAs, rural "set-asides," direct rural communication, paperwork burden reduction, technical assistance participation, improving the data base, identifying and validating successful rural practices, and legislation to compensate for extra costs necessary to assure quality education for rural children.

AN - 63539575; ED209033 AB - From Fiscal Year (FY) 1967 through FY 1974, the allocation for each state's Title I migrant education grant was determined through a formula utilizing estimates of the migratory agricultural labor population of each state. Until the Migrant Student Record Transfer System was fully validated in FY 1975, there were no totally reliable counts of actual numbers or periods of residence of migratory children in each state. Revisions to allocation computation procedures occurred with the passage of Public Laws 90-247, 93-380, and 94-482. The allocation formula now operates as follows: (1) each state accumulates one residency day for each day that a migratory child is resident in that state; (2) a state's total of accumulated residency days is divided by 365; (3) each state total full-time-equivalent is then multiplied by 40% of the state's per pupil expenditure rate; (4) the computed amount then provides the total amount available for grant to each state. Individual state allocation totals provide the total national program allocation. The amount of funding is then taken 100% "off-the-top" of the total Title I authorization. Allocations have increased from $9,737,847 for 169,910 children in FY 1967 to $245,000,000 for 369,182 children in FY 1981.

AN - 63617793; ED201692 AB - This study was conducted in order to identify some of the broad characteristics of achievement in science and mathematics by black students. A nationwide sample of nine, thirteen, and seventeen year old students was tested with a series of exercises that were developed to assess science and mathematics performance. The exercises were designed to probe both content and processes across several taxonomic levels. Findings indicated that, compared to the national average, black students as a group experienced problems in mathematics at all age levels, but these were accentuated by age seventeen. In science, a smaller overall gap in performance was found at age nine. This gap narrowed by age thirteen, but widened noticeably at age seventeen. The many tables of data included in this report indicate particular content areas and specific taxonomic levels at which black students experience difficulty. (MK) AU - Holmes, Barbara J.

The state programs are developing model program evaluation/management information support units. This second issuance of Observations contains an outline supported by flow charts and summaries of Delaware's case review process. Oregon's deployment of staff in tracking issues is described and illustrated with an example of the technique at work. An interim report from Michigan examines the program evaluator's role as consultant through two case histories. Virginia's approach to evaluation uses team techinques employing both evaluation staff and program personnel. Pennsylvania's contribution describes the structure of its case review process in terms of regional and district roles. West Virginia describes an ongoing study of the pros and cons of using benefit-cost analysis in vocational rehabilitation. Mississippi suggests that development of a management information system might well precede attempts at evaluation. The report concludes with a review, contributed by West Virginia, of a new handbook in human services evaluation, and a bibliography.

AN - 63457392; ED219885 AB - Based on data collected by the U.S. Bureau of the Census in its October 1980 Current Population Survey, this report examines school enrollment rates of 3- and 4-year-olds from three major ethnic groups (black, white, and Spanish origin) and relates this information to characteristics of the children's schools and households. Variables covered in the document's 10 tables include race or ethnic group, age, geographic region, metropolitan or nonmetropolitan location, family income, educational attainment of the household head and the mother, sex and occupation of the household head, mother's marital and labor force status, number of other children under 14 in the household, the school's educational level and public or private status, and the child's full- or part-time enrollment. Also noted is the impact of the federal Head Start program. Among the findings of the survey are that overall preprimary enrollment rates were roughly the same for whites and blacks but were lower for children of Spanish origin, and that blacks were far more likely than whites to be enrolled in full-day programs and in public schools. Two appendices present definitions of variables and discuss data sources and reliability.

AN - 63608798; ED194577 AB - The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) item development procedures, possible improvements or alternatives to these procedures, and methods used to control potential sources of errors of interpretation are described. Current procedures call for the assessment of 9-, 13- and 17-year-olds in subject areas typically taught in schools. Objectives and items are developed and reviewed through a consensus process which involves subject-matter experts, educators and lay persons. Reviews help to establish the accuracy and content validity of items and to guard against potential item bias. Procedures used to prepare item booklets, administer the assessment and score the items are designed to reduce sources of error and to ensure nearly identical conditions across assessments so measurements of change are accurate. Possible alternative procedures, including structuring assessments by means other than subject areas, using an assessment framework other than objectives, developing objectives through textbook analysis, employing objectives developed by other organizations, using a contractor other than NAEP to monitor development and changing the number or type of reviewers, are also discussed. Procedures that would benefit from further research are identified. (Author/RL) Primary type of information provided by report: Procedures (Exercise Development) (Objectives Development).

AN - 63608740; ED194601 AB - Three questions are discussed: (1) what approach will be taken to gain and maintain access to school districts and schools to administer assessment instruments? (2) what procedures should be employed in the difficult and complex task of gaining access to nonstudents (age 17)? and (3) what problems are likely to be encountered in doing this? Access to in-school and nonschool samples is one of the most critical aspects of a National Assessment program. A successful approach to gaining and maintaining access to school districts and schools demands that a protocal be followed; involvement by school personnel and students be minimum; procedures for resolving refusals be developed; and monitoring of data collection procedures and staff be rigorous so that problems are readily identified and corrected. School records are the basis for constructing the sampling frame for the out-of-school 17-year-olds. School officials provide a listing of names of early graduates, and students who failed to return to school following summer vacation and are not known to have enrolled in another school. Problems likely to be encountered include: response/nonresponse; privacy and confidentiality; the intrusiveness of surveys; and the growing cost of research.

AN - 63608665; ED194605 AB - Approaches to data analysis used by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and possible alternative methodologies are reviewed. Since various components of the NAEP model affect analysis, key elements of that model, including procedures for developing objectives and exercises, drawing the sample, collecting data and reporting results, are briefly described. Performance on sets of items is summarized by using the average of percentages of acceptable responses to the items in a set. Methods for computing the statistics commonly used by NAEP and the standard errors of those statistics are described. The paper presents answers to questions frequently raised regarding NAEP analytical procedures, including such topics as the use of NAEP data to establish causal relationships, use of data adjustments, possibility of increasing the number of background questions, potential for setting performance standards, provision of different data breakdowns and new methods of analysis. For the 1979-80 reading assessment, data will be reported by achievement class, a new reporting variable. Appendices define reporting variables, present forms used to collect background information, describe population proportion smoothing methods, provide information about the problem of nonresponse in assessment samples, and describe methods of accounting for sample design with design effects.

The submission of a draft final report prompted the present report from the sponsoring organization, in which various methodological procedures are questioned and recommendations are made for the revision of the final report. The three analytical issues involved are: (1) were the items selected for inclusion in the Language Measurement and Assessment Inventory (LM&AI) selected properly? (2) were the cutoff scores for the LM&AI, which were determined and used to classify children as either English proficient or of limited English proficiency (LEP), set properly? and (3) what were the effects of non-response bias on the counts and estimates of the number of LEP children? With regard to (1), it is recommended that certain caveats be set forth in the final report. Criteria are introduced that, with respect to (2), actually revise the figures regarding the number of LEP children. Further investigations of nonresponse bias were found not to be warranted.

AN - 63608624; ED194571 AB - In recent years, the controversy surrounding testing has grown, and the charge of bias is the most often cited criticism of testing and assessment. A review of the literature indicates that psychometricians and other researchers speak of bias as a property of the test or of items in the test. Conversely, test critics speak of bias as a quality or attitude associated with testing, which is suggestive of cultural preferences. The meaning of bias from the research and social perspectives is explored and the areas of conflict between the two are pointed out. By delineating some of the primary points in these divergent perspectives, the position of the National Assessment of Educational Progress relative to cultural bias is clarified in terms of its unique purposes and design. The National Assessment has implemented several techniques during the processes of objectives and exercises development and administration to minimize the intrusion of cultural bias or preferential material. The process of consensus and the evaluative criteria used to develop, write and select exercises are described. Ways in which a new analysis variable, achievement class, can be utilized as a bias detection method with the National Assessment exercises is discussed.

National statistics provide data on the following questions: What is the state of the market for new teachers? How do graduates newly qualified to teach fare in the labor market compared to other graduates? What kinds of jobs do graduates newly qualified to teach get when they aren't teaching? and, What is the outlook for teaching jobs over the next several years? These questions are examined for bachelor's degree recipients who were graduated between July 1, 1976, and June 30, 1977. Their job status is that which existed in February 1978. In certain cases, comparisons are made with those who were graduated during the same period two years earlier. The statistics show that there were fewer graduates newly qualified to teach in 1976-77 than in 1974-75, and that data group fared somewhat better than their peers two years earlier. Most graduated in the fields of special education, general elementary, and English instruction. (JD) AU - Metz, Stafford A. AU - Crane, Jane L.

Four categories of users of NAEP data are identified: external researchers interested in specific analyses of the data, external users interested in existing research results, archival users interested in preserving information gathered by NAEP, and internal users (the staff) with specific interests in part of NAEP data. A discussion of database management needs describes the needs characteristics of each of these categories of users and points out some of their differences and similarities. Database management techniques are explored in terms of equipment, software, methods, and applications of the NAEP data management technique. Extensive appendices include a list of the contents of a current NAEP public-use data tape, data access plan and dissemination plan for the NAEP, and an overview of data models.

Special Report, U.S. Department of Education. AN - 63594323; ED195195 AB - Results of a national survey of salaries, tenure, and fringe benefits of full-time college instructional faculty are presented. The survey was part of the Higher Education General Information Survey. Overall, the number of full-time instructional faculty increased slightly from 1976-77 to 1977-78. While the number of men remained approximately the same, the number of women increased by 2.3 percent. The largest increase for women came in the lecturer category, the lowest rank. The percentage changes for women exceeded those for men in all ranks, and although tenured men far outnumbered tenured women, women scored higher percentage gains in tenure than men during this period. Mean salaries of men were higher than those of women, whatever the academic rank, at all institutional levels. Salaries by rank for different types of institutions are compared, and fringe benefits for public and private institutions are contrasted. Charts and tables illustrate the short narrative description.

Part one of the publication describes the procedures NAEP used to characterize differences in syntactic structures. This approach is based on an analysis of the grammatical forms in which sentences are cast. Part two describes the procedure used to rate the cohesiveness of each essay. This approach is concerned with the number and variety of devices used to link and carry forward developing ideas. Part three presents the procedures NAEP used to characterize writing mechanics. This approach accounts for matters of manuscript form. The systems used to tally error rates are essentially unchanged from those used in earlier assessments, with some refinements.

AN - 63608316; ED194576 AB - Audiences were surveyed at the federal, state, and local levels in an effort to determine how the National Assessment of Educational Progress could be made more useful in meeting their needs. Recommendations fell into several major categories: (1) increased dissemination of assessment materials and access to data; (2) increased data interpretation and data analysis; (3) increased collection of data on background and program variables; (4) increased research potential; (5) increased policy relevance; and (6) increased attention to state and local needs. Needs expressed by different audiences were at times in conflict. Education researchers typically would like more background and program information, while national curriculum organizations would like more achievement questions. State and local educators would like more items released for their use, while obtaining reliable change data demands that as many items as possible be kept secure. The present Assessment design does not permit some of the desired uses of assessment data. Trade-offs between various audience needs are outlined and relative costs of different procedures are indicated.

Divided into three parts, Part One explores differing conceptions of literacy, ways in which NAEP can address certain of them, ways in which NAEP can serve as a proving ground for literacy measures, and potential enhancements to the current NAEP model; Part Two explores NAEP's contribution to equity studies as a descriptive data base and a source of analytical inquiry; and Part Three examines trade-offs involved in potential enhancements of the current design. Appended are a discussion of trends for two kinds of literacy, a sampling of equity graphs, tables and statements, and NAEP publications in reading, writing and literature.

AN - 63536651; ED208534 AB - The primary purpose of this handbook is to reflect changes that have occurred in governmental accounting and educational finance since 1973. Major emphasis is placed on defining account classifications that provide meaningful financial management information. After describing the need for and advantages of a proposed account classification system, defining the system's framework envisioned in the coding structure, and clarifying the multiple uses to be made of the coding structure, the publication discusses the implementation of the account classification system and cost accounting for educational programs. The publication's content and format are based on the double-entry and accrual or modified-accrual basis of accounting. However, an appendix identifies the additional classifications needed to operate on a single-entry set of records and needed to provide the balance sheet accounts most frequently used in a cash-basis/double-entry system. The use of the classifications and definitions in this handbook, claims the author, will enhance the comparability of recorded and reported financial information at the local, state, and federal levels.

AN - 63532706; ED207763 AB - Data from the 1976 Survey of Income and Education (SIE) were used to assess the role of language factors in the occupational and income attainment process of Hispanic men and women aged 25-64 in 1976. The SIE contained a relatively complete set of basic language-use questions designed to ascertain the mother tongue of adults, the usual language spoken by an individual, and the presence of a second language spoken with regularity. Data indicated that Hispanic men who did not speak English were more concentrated in part-time employment than other men, while women who spoke English poorly were under-represented in both part-time and full-time employment. Both sexes were further penalized by their inability to speak English after they were employed. Data did not indicate that having English as mother tongue was associated with either net higher occupational or income gains. Unlike Black men, Hispanic men appeared to have occupational and income attainments consonant with their background and educational characteristics. No important differences were found in the relative attainments of Black, White, and Hispanic women with respect to earnings. Findings suggested that the major problems faced by Hispanics were low educational attainment and inability of recent immigrants to speak English well. (Author/CM) AU - Veltman, Calvin J.

Data on baccalaureate and higher degrees are presented in summary and detailed tables, which show the numbers of degrees granted by level of degree, institutional control and level, sex of recipient, state, and discipline division and specialty. Among the findings are the following: the total number of bachelor's, first-professional, master's, and doctor's degrees conferred by institutions of higher education in 1977-78 showed a decrease over the previous year's total by 2,356; the effect of a decrease in men was largely balanced by an increase in women receiving degrees; the largest increase in the number of degrees awarded to women since 1973-74 occurred for the first-professional degrees, but women were still only approaching parity with men at the bachelor's and master's levels; the percent of degrees conferred by publicly controlled institutions decreased slightly for two degree levels; business and management, education, and the social sciences were the disciplines with the largest number of bachelor's degrees; education, business and management, and public affairs and services were the disciplines with the largest number of master's degrees; and education, social sciences, and biological sciences were the disciplines with the largest number of doctoral degrees. Additionally, degree trends from 1968 through 1978 are analyzed. A sample survey form is appended. (SW) AU - Pepin, Andrew J. AU - Wells, Agnes Q.

AN - 63695651; ED186331 AB - The document presents multiple-choice exercises designed by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) to measure the ability of students (ages 9 through 17) to recognize and describe various works of art. The objective is to provide classroom teachers easy access to released and tested art assessment materials. For each exercise, information is presented on objectives, time required, administration, photographic and source information, and age groups for which the exercise is most appropriate. Exercises and documentation are in loose leaf format to facilitate sorting and copying. Most exercises involve photographs of art works. The document is presented in three major sections. Section I reviews assessment procedures upon which the exercises are based and explains documentation which accompanies the exercises. Section II presents objectives used to develop the exercises (including that students should know about art and perceive and respond to various aspects of art), describes the content range of the exercises, and offers a directory of exercises. The final section, which comprises the bulk of the document, presents approximately 100 multiple-choice exercises. Students are directed to view photographs of art works and answer questions concerning major themes, quality, color intensity, and the importance of art to the human experience.

The report covers enrollments at all educational levels, numbers of high school graduates and earners of higher education degrees, numbers of instructional staff and educational expenditures at all levels, and costs charged to higher education students. The authors predict decreases through the 1980s in elementary, secondary, and postsecondary enrollments, high school graduates, baccalaureate degrees granted, and employed higher education teachers; but they foresee increases in elementary and secondary teachers and in expenditures at all levels. The data on enrollments, graduates, degrees, and teachers are controlled for several other variables, including age, sex, full- or part-time teaching or attendance, public or private control, field of study, two- or four-year program, graduate or undergraduate status, type of postsecondary degree, and teachers' academic rank. The financial data cover teacher salaries, capital outlays, interest payments, and sources of funds and control for current and constant (1978-1979) dollars. The report's six appendices (with 3 figures and 52 tables) discuss the authors' methods and definitions and supply supporting demographic and financial data. (RW) AU - Frankel, Martin M.

Part I discusses the use of the report as an aid in comparative analysis, examines the representativeness of the sample, and summarizes major findings. Part II presents explanations, possible interpretations, and the limitations of median findings as they relate to: (1) expenditures for academic programs, support services, scholarships, credit and non-credit instruction, utilities, and plant maintenance; (2) revenues from tuition and fees; government appropriations; and gifts, grants, and contracts; (3) the proportion of full-time equivalent staff utilized for credit and non-credit instruction, public services, academic support, student services, instructional support, and plant operation; and (4) the average size of classes offered for credit. For comparison purposes, Part III examines findings for each of the above categories in terms of upper and lower quartiles, and Part IV presents a breakdown of median and quartile findings for colleges with enrollments less than 1,000, less than 5,000, between 5,000 and 15,000, and over 15,000. Finally, Part V presents scattergrams illustrating the relationship of selected findings, such as the ratio of enrollment to expenditures per student.

AN - 63688035; ED184878 AB - The purpose of this study was to identify the most important factors related to the problem of women's participation in mathematics and to determine the relative importance of the factors to guide future research and intervention efforts. The vehicle for this study was a national survey of 1,452 13-year-olds and 1,788 high school seniors. The data collection centered upon achievement in mathematics, participation in mathematics, sex-role stereotyping, career and academic plans, the student's attitude toward mathematics, parental influence and the influence of significant other people in the student's life. Correlation and regression analyses were performed on the survey data to identify those factors which most affect participation and achievement in mathematics. The results of the study indicate that 13-year-old females start their high school mathematics career with at least the same ability as their male contemporaries. By the twelfth grade, males have overtaken females. The results also indicate that certain groups of variables open to intervention strategies are related to participation and that these variables predict participation. At the conclusion of this report, strategies are suggested which may increase mathematics participation in school programs.

AN - 74960818; 15508481 AB - Three sampling methods for airborne beryllium are compared to validate observations made in a 1973 National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) industrywide study of the beryllium industry which indicated that, in general, the three methods yielded different results for samples taken in the same environment. Under NIOSH contract a beryllium production facility was sampled in 1974 by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) personal total and personal respirable sampling methods over a period of one year. All samples were analyzed by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Statistical analysis of the resulting data by NIOSH confirms the observations made in the 1973 study that samples collected by the three methods produced different results. No reliable relationship was found to exist which would permit conversion of the result obtained by one method to a result obtained by either of the alternate methods. It appears that, in general, for large numbers of samples taken under the same sampling conditions, the values determined by the personal respirable sampling method will be lower than those obtained by the AEC method and the values determined by the personal total sampling method will be greater.

The assessments were conducted in 1969-70, 1972-73, and 1976-77. This paper focuses on changes in science knowledge of young adults from the second assessment to the third assessment and compares performance of young adults with that of 17-year-olds. Results report a uniform decline in scientific literacy among young adults and 17-year-olds, with no difference between the two groups in their performance on science exercises. Observations are also noted regarding patterns of responses as to gender, minority groups, and social factors. (CS) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Change).

AN - 63698482; ED186330 AB - This publication outlines goals that a consensus of educators and lay persons consider important for K-12 citizenship and social studies education. In the 1981-82 school year, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) will conduct a third national survey of the citizenship and social studies achievements of 9-, 13-, and 17-year-olds. In the past the citizenship and social studies assessments were conducted separately. Because there is a high degree of similarity between the goals considered important in both citizenship and social studies education, NAEP has combined the two areas into one comprehensive area for the 1981-82 assessment. This set of objectives is the product of that new combination. Five major citizenship/social studies objectives, each of which is then further broken down, are presented. Objectives I, II, and III focus on skills and understandings that enable people to study and evaluate themselves and their social and physical environment and to act as effective students. Objective I details skills necessary to acquire information. Objective II outlines the intellectual processes necessary to use information effectively. Objective III deals with examining one's own and others' personal beliefs and values and those skills that promote effective personal interactions. Objectives IV and V focus on understanding, appreciating, and participating in both the world community and the United States. Objective IV provides a view of human development, adaptation, and change. Objective V outlines significant aspects in the development of the United States.

Objectives from the first music assessment were reappraised, reviewed, and revised to include greater breadth of application, greater emphasis on the affective domain, greater variety of music styles, and the use of music training background to provide context. Recommendations concerning assessment content and administration included that objectives be based on aurally presented materials and administered by persons who have had music training. Depth of coverage should also be increased with age level. The objectives are presented in five categories, which focus on the students' involvement in performing, creating, and responding to music. Category I measures how the student values music as an important realm of human experience, including responsiveness; acquaintance with music from various nations, cultures, periods, and ethnic groups; importance of music personally; and ability to make and support aesthetic judgments. Category II focuses on the ability to perform, while Category III measures the ability to create musical expression. Category IV measures the ability to identify the elements and expressive controls of music, such as rhythm, pitch, tone, and musical terms. Category V focuses on the ability to identify and classify music historically and culturally.

In particular, the survey focused on problems stemming from some children's eligibility for more than one of these programs and the districts' policies governing these children's program participation. The survey focused on three federal programs: Title I of the Elementary Secondary Education Act (ESEA), Public Law (P.L.) 94-142, and ESEA, Title VII. Of the districts responding to this national survey, 59 percent said they had encountered at least one of six specified problems stemming from some children's eligibility for more than one program. Overall, about two-fifths of the districts cited administrative problems only, while the remaining three-fifths mentioned instructional problems only, or a combination of the two. The survey is the seventh in the Fast Response Survey System series of current, policy-oriented issues.

Trends 1968-1977, Summary Data 1977. AN - 63538387; ED210041 AB - The National Center for Education Statistics has tabulated common library data elements and then related them to relevant institutional variables to provide the first analysis of college and university library trends in over a decade, and to supplement annual biennial reports of academic library statistics. Seven surveys provided the information on library data elements such as collection holdings for print and nonprint materials, operating expenditures, staffing, circulation, and interlibrary loan. Institutional variables used for comparison are student enrollments, expenditures, and the Consumer Price Index. The majority of the tables indicate institutional control, type, and enrollment size, and provide means and quartiles as well as totals. Selected data items on library collections, expenditures, and full-time staff are also shown by states. Analyses of the seven college and university surveys reveal substantial increases in collections, financial resources, staffing, and services. However, when changes in student population and inflation are considered, library conditions remained constant with regard to the number of books and circulation per student, and library expenditures in relation to education and general expenditures. Libraries declined in number of staff and expenditures per student, the proportion expended for library materials, and the number of books purchased. Provided are appendices, nine text tables, and 36 survey tables. (RBF) AU - Beazley, Richard M.

Reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography was used. All residues of gentian violet were assayed at 588 nm and quantified by peak height. The mobile phase was 85 per cent methanol - 15 per cent pH 3 buffer. Recoveries averaged 79 per cent for animal feed, 58 per cent for urine and 60 per cent for waste water. Stability studies indicate that small amounts of gentian violet were unstable in animal feed and evidence is presented to show that photodegradation occurs. Modifications of the procedure, for analsysis of six related triphenylmethane dyes, are reported.

Final Report. AN - 63690497; ED187562 AB - The purpose of this study was to identify the most important factors related to the problem of women's participation in mathematics and to determine the relative importance of those factors to guide future research and intervention efforts. The vehicle was a national survey of 1,452 13-year-olds and 1,788 high school seniors. Data collection centered upon achievement and participation in mathematics, sex-role stereotyping, career and academic plans, the students' attitudes toward mathematics, parental influence, and the influence of significant other people in the students' lives. Results of the study indicate that 13-year-old females begin their high school mathematics career with at least the same ability as their male contemporaries. By the twelfth grade, males have overtaken females. Large sex differences found for mathematics participation in previous studies were not found in this survey. Results also indicate that certain groups of variables open to intervention strategies are related to participation. Three groups of variables were found to have the greatest effect on participation: positive attitudes toward mathematics; perceived need for mathematics for future career and educational plans; and influences of significant others, including parents, teachers and counselors. At the report conclusion, strategies are suggested which may increase mathematics participation in school programs. (Author/MK) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Sex).

AN - 63687102; ED182174 AB - This is one of a series of reports summarizing the results of the second mathematics assessment conducted by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Nine, 13- and 17-year-olds were assessed during the 1977-78 school year. The assessment measured achievement in various content areas at four levels of cognitive processes: knowledge, skill, understanding, and application. This report describes performance on the understanding items. Included are results for understanding of numbers and numeration, variables and relationships, geometry, measurement, and various other topics. The report also contains group results, age-level comparisons and observations on the results. The observations, consisting of a historical perspective, implications of the results, and recommendations, were made by a panel of people active in the field of mathematics education. Among the panel's five recommendations were: (1) An expanded definition of what is "basic" in mathematics is crucial to foster students' ability to cope with different types of mathematical tasks; (2) There is a need to promote understanding of concepts and to link skill development to problem-solving activities; and (3) There is a need for more consistent and comprehensive teacher education in the mathematics area.

The data were obtained from 3,173 two-year and four-year public and private colleges and universities and their branches included in the National Center for Education Statistics'"Education Directory, 1978-79, Colleges and Universities." Information is grouped under seven major categories: summary tables, enrollment by level of institution, enrollment by state, enrollment by institution, enrollment by race/ethnicity, enrollment by major degree field, and enrollment by major degree field and race/ethnicity. Findings include the following: enrollments in colleges and universities declined for the second time in the last three years; public college and university enrollments dropped for all three types of institutions, while total private school enrollment increased; women enrollments in colleges for the past several years have counterbalanced the decreases in enrollments experienced by men; and a total of 1.8 percent fewer students attended college full-time in 1978 than the previous year. Background information on the survey population and questionnaire procedures and a sample survey questionnaire are included. (SW) AU - Pepin, Andrew J.

Human Services Monograph Series. Number 14. AN - 63683075; ED183614 AB - Evaluability assessment is a descriptive and analytic process intended to produce a reasoned basis for proceeding with an evaluation of use to both management and policymakers. It was jointly developed by the members of the program evaluation group of the Urban Institute between 1968 and 1978. The approach begins by obtaining management's description of the program. The description is then analyzed to determine whether it is: complete, acceptable to the policymakers, and a valid representation of the program as it actually exists. Three types of models are used: logic models, function models, and measurement models. The evaluator determines whether management's expectations are plausible, whether its evidence is reliable, and whether the program is feasible to develop. Perhaps the most common problem affecting federal programs is unrealistic expectations, most likely resulting from a management decision which is invalid, implausible, or unacceptable to policymakers. A task for the evaluator is to construct alternatives wherever possible. The final step is to implement evaluability assessment findings. (Author/CTM) AU - Schmidt, Richard E.

AN - 63688536; ED182690 AB - Results of a 1977 assessment of the reading abilities of approximately 1,250 adults (26 to 35 years old) are reported in this paper and are compared with results of a similar assessment made in 1971. After discussing a typical comprehension exercise used in the assessment, the paper presents the materials and multiple choice questions used in assessing respondents' comprehension of four types of practical materials: a classified advertisement, an advertisement from a national magazine, a parking ticket, and a life insurance form. It then presents four exercises involving materials of a more difficult nature: two expository passages, a poem, and a graph. For each of the eight exercises, the paper indicates the percentage of adults responding to each answer and notes changes in those percentages from 1971. Among the major conclusions reported are that there was apparently little change in overall reading ability between 1971 and 1977, that a great many adults may still have difficulty reading passages that call for higher-level comprehension skills (for instance, key percentages of success on six questions with medium- to high-difficulty passages ranged from only 18% to 60%), and that amount of time spent watching television and amount of time spent reading appear to relate to reading performance.

This is a cooperative effort by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the National Center for Education Statistics, the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges, the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges, the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, the National Institute for Independent Colleges, and the Association of American Universities. The survey questionnaire elicits information about the college use of television, the uses for instruction, the types of television outlets with which the college works, the college's relationships with the outlets, factors that contributed to or hindered the college's use of television for instruction, and the future of television for instruction at the college. The report details the procedural conduct of the survey as administered through the cooperating agencies; appendices provide the survey questionnaire, editing instructions, and keypunch instructions.

Technical Analysis Paper Number 7. AN - 63680251; ED182833 AB - Much of the controversy in discussions of tuition tax credits for elementary and secondary education has been over the question of who would benefit from the various proposals. This report presents data from the 1978 October supplement to the Current Population Survey that show, for the first time, who attends private schools and what tuitions they pay. Private school attendance rates and median tuitions are shown for students grouped by grade level and by region, race, and family income. These data then are used to estimate the average size and distribution of tuition tax credits which would accrue to each of these student groupings under two sample tax credit plans. Findings indicate the following: students in the South and West pay more to attend private schools than students in the northeastern and north central regions; median private school tuitions for black students are higher than those for white and Hispanic origin students; and, in general, tuition levels do not reflect ability to pay as measured by family income. This report discusses the policy implications of these findings and presents suggestions for modifying tuition tax credit proposals to target benefits more heavily on the disadvantaged.

AN - 63663674; ED177011 AB - The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has completed two surveys of mathematics achievement of 9-, 13-, and 17-year-old students. The first was conducted during the 1972-73 school year and the second five years later, during 1977-78. This report describes changes in students' performance between the assessments. The overall results indicate some decline in mathematics achievement. Changes in performance differed by type of item and by age group. Declines became more apparent for older students. The results for whole number computation were generally satisfactory; however, results for problem solving were generally low and had declined. The assessment indicated a significant decline on mathematics understanding items only for 17-year-olds, while all three age groups declined on mathematics applications items. A panel chosen to intepret the results warned against placing too much emphasis on overall results and stated that changes for population groups or specific item types provide more meaningful information. The panel made seven recommendations for school mathematics. (MK) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Change) (Selective).

Nine, 13- and 17-year-olds were assessed during the 1977-78 school year. The assessment measured achievement in various content areas at four levels of cognitive processes (knowledge, skill, understanding and application). This report describes performance on application items. The report includes results for one-step word problems, problems about consumer situations, multi-step word problems, non-routine problems, and problems involving geometry, measurement, probability and statistics, graphs and tables, or reasoning making judgments. The report also includes group results, age level comparisons and observations on the results. The observations, consisting of interpretation, consideration of implications and recommendations, were made by a panel of persons active in the field. The panel felt that the results implied that problem solving is a major area of concern in mathematics education. Among the panel's seven recommendations were an expanded definition of what is "basic" modification of textbooks to include a greater variety of problem-solving tasks and more emphasis on the teaching of problem solving.

Nine, 13- and 17-year-olds were assessed during the 1977-78 school year. The assessment measured achievement in various content areas at four levels of cognitive processes (knowledge, skill, understanding, and application). This report describes performance on knowledge and skill items. The report includes results for mathematical knowledge in the areas of numbers and numeration, geometry and measurement. The results for skills are divided into computational skills (computation with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, integers, percent, and conversion between fractional form) and other mathematical skills (measurement, reading graphs and tables, geometric manipulations, algebraic manipulations and estimation skills). The report also includes group results, age level comparisons and observations on the results. The observations, consisting of interpretation, consideration of implications, and recommendations, were made by a panel of persons active in the field. It was the judgment of this panel that while performance is generally satisfactory for knowledge and whole number computational skills, achievement in many other areas is below desired levels. Among the five recommendations is that the remedy for areas in which performance is not satisfactory should not be to expand rote drill and mechanistic teaching approaches but should strive to promote understanding.

The Sixth Annual Report to the Congress of the United States. AN - 63683422; ED182077 AB - Appointed by the President, the fifteen Indian and Alaska Native members of the National Advisory Council on Indian Education (NACIE) are charged by law to advise the Congress and the Commissioner of Education in a number of areas concerning the administration of programs in which Indian children and adults participate and to submit an Annual Report to the Congress. In the Sixth Annual Report seven recommendations are brought to the attention of Congress. The first three deal with NACIE's concern with the changeover to the newly-created Department of Education. NACIE recommends that (1) the organizational structure of the Office of Indian Education remain a distinct and separate organizational entity within the Department of Education, (2) that Indian Educational Programs contained in Title IV of P.L. 92-318 remain separate and distinct programs, and (3) that NACIE remain in tact and continue its advisory duties. Recommendations also are made for funding tribally controlled Community colleges and for a study to investigate the utilization of a telecommunication Satellite for Indian education related programs. The final recommendations deal with NACIE itself: that appointments be done within three months after a position is vacated and that the annual report be submitted on September 30 of each year rather than March 31. Included is a state-by-state accounting of the distribution of Title IV funding and the Indian Fellowships for FY 1978 managed by the Office of Indian Education.

Regulatory Analysis Draft. AN - 63678008; ED179302 AB - The purpose of this analysis is to provide decision makers with a careful comparison of alternate regulatory approaches and requirements for federal day care programs. The proposed day care regulations and this analysis cover about one-fifth of federal funding for day care and an even smaller segment of the total day care market. Proposed regulations will apply to day care subsidized under various titles of the Social Security Act -- Title XX, Title IV-B, and Title IV-A (WIN) -- and under several Titles of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Privately funded day care is not covered unless 10% or more of the children enrolled are subsidized by one of the covered programs. Direct government (federal, state, and local) spending for the programs covered by the proposed regulations is estimated at about 500-600 million dollars per year. The average number of children served in centers covered by the proposed regulations was estimated by the National Day Care Study to be 400,000. In-home care is not directly affected by these regulations, and this analysis does not cover that portion of the day care market. A major portion of the analysis reports costs and benefits of alternative provider requirements. Implications for state agency and federal enforcement are discussed. Other issues and considerations are explored. The final section of the analysis briefly indicates the methodology employed.

The primary study objectives were to: (1) develop a reliable estimate of what American colleges and universities must spend to make their programs accessible to the mobility impaired, as required by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; and (2) examine the relationship between physical plant accessibility and program accessibility. Information is presented on the current state of physical accessibility on American campuses and the way in which they will modify their space to achieve program accessibility. A detailed analysis of the cost implications is included, as are floor plans and architectural modification specifications. Estimates of the numbers and enrollment patterns of various groups of handicapped are presented. The ability of institutions of higher education to house these students is also discussed. Two technical chapters are included that discuss the methodology employed in the study and assess the quality of the data presented in the report. Limitations of the scope of the study are also covered. The final chapter describes how well institutions understand the impact of Section 504. Appendices include a sample survey instrument, site visit survey forms, and a study workbook. (SW) AU - Wulfsberg, Rolf M. AU - Petersen, Richard J.

AN - 63598335; ED192259 AB - The position that the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) provides a data base that is compatible with various definitions of literacy and standards of competencies and can make a contribution to our understanding of the complex and controversial problem of literacy is supported in this paper. The paper notes that since the NAEP has surveyed a national sample of four age groups over a period of years since 1971, it is well suited for looking at a broad sample and providing longitudinal information. Other advantages of the NAEP for studying literacy that are cited are its comprehensiveness across many areas of study and functional skills, its breadth within single content areas, its covering of affective and background variables as well as achievement, and its ability to respond to new emphases, such as the proposed 1979-80 reading and literature assessment that has new exercises emphasizing comprehension of various kinds of texts. The use of the NAEP data base for the assessment of functional literacy conducted by NAEP in 1974 and 1975 for the National Right to Read program is discussed as an example of the use of the NAEP data base.

The largest single group within this total identified itself as Japanese--620,000. Though they live in the United States, 57 percent of those studied were born in Asia. The Japanese contrasted sharply with the other groups, since nearly three-fourths of them were born in the United States. Two-thirds of the people studied lived in households in which Asian languages were spoken. A person's birthplace was related to his or her current language exposure and usage. Among U.S.-born Asians, excluding the Japanese, about three out of five lived in households in which Asian languages were spoken. In contrast, more than four out of five Asians born abroad lived in such households. Fewer than a third of U.S.-born Japanese lived in Japanese-speaking households, but nearly 7 in 10 foreign-born Japanese did so.

Among findings concerning identification of children are data collection problems, variation in diagnosis and resource availability, and delays in federal approval of state plans. The second part of the report addresses the status of special education today, with analysis of eight problems (such as inadequate resources, isolation of regular and special education, artifical and arbitrary eligibility requirements for special education, and implementation problems with individualized education plans and least restrictive environment principles). Issues briefly covered include identification of minority students, deinstitutionalization, and regular teacher education.

Investigated were the relative importance and effect of three clusters of variables (home environment variables, community and school environment variables, and school instructional variables) on educational achievement in the areas of mathematics, political knowledge, and socio-political attitudes. The effect of school on learning was substantially larger than the effect of type of school and school program and tended to be quite high relative to the effect of home on learning.

Using the same exercises for adjacent assessments, with some exercises common to all three, National Assessment was able to measure improvements and declines in achievement between 1969-70 and 1976-77. Each assessment utilized a deeply stratified, multistage probability sample design and a professional data collection staff. To the extent possible, administration conditions were kept constant across assessments. The document contains a brief introduction and four chapters: chapter 1 contains background information about the project, chapter 2 presents national results by age levels (9 years, 13 years, 17 years), chapter 3 reports group results for 9-, 13- and 17-year olds, and chapter 4 contains a discussion of the adult science assessments. Four appendices are included: (1) A-Technical Procedures: Sampling and Estimation of Standard Errors; (2) B-Estimated Population Proportions of Reporting Groups Based on National Assessment Samples, 1969-70, 1972-73, and 1975-76; (3) C-Changes in Procedures Between Assessments; and (4) D-Nonresponse in Assessment Samples.

An initial assessment of citizenship was conducted in 1969-70, and an initial assessment of social studies was conducted in 1971-72. Both areas were reassessed in 1975-76. Because citizenship and social studies cover many similar topics, changes in performance in the two areas are reported here in terms of clusters of exercises covering areas such as political knowledge/attitudes and social studies knowledge/skills. Chapter I reviews development of the citizenship and social studies exercises, and describes procedures used to sample, administer, score, and analyze the exercises. Chapter II summarizes changes in mean percentages of acceptable responses for each age group for each of the major reporting categories and subcategories (i.e., social studies knowledge in economics, history, or political science). Chapter III describes changes in performance for student subpopulations based on factors such as geographic region, socioeconomic status, and sex. It also contains tables summarizing average performance of each group on different clusters of exercises.

Another purpose was to translate these issues and priorities into operational terms for use in NCES data collection activities. Four parts make up the report. The first summarizes the main issues, concepts, and recommendations. The second defines the meanings of financial viability, identifies several key issues, and describes some of the implications for data production. The third part concentrates on some of the major recommendations for ongoing statistical work, and the fourth (the appendix) contains sample data collection aids and a brief annotated bibliography. The issues and data collection needs in this area are complex, and the data requirements question is found to have at least two dimensions. The first is how to modify existing statistical surveys without sacrificing the consistency of established and useful time series. The second is how to speed up professional dialogue for consensus on methodology as well as on concepts and financial viability models. (MSE) AU - Jenny, Hans H.

Financial viability is defined within the scope of postsecondary education, and key policy issues at the national, state, and institutional levels are identified. Implications for data production and recommendations for ongoing statistical work are addressed. Types of data to be collected for financial viability studies include student enrollment and financial aid data, institutional financial status data, and academic program and activity data. Research needs at the federal level concern: access, choice, and pricing; productivity in postsecondary education; the cost of complying with federal and state legislation and administrative regulations; and capital requirements. At the state level it is recommended that studies be undertaken that describe how the various state planning procedures are functioning and how the states are dealing with the public-private college and university issue. Sample data collection aids, a brief summary of the literature, and an annotated bibliography are appended. (SW) AU - Jenny, Hans H.

The education statistics program develops and maintains a core of education statistics on both institutions and individuals for monitoring trends in elementary secondary and postsecondary education and for providing information to address policy issues. The statistical services program develops and maintains a comprehensive program of services to maximize accessibility and usefulness of NCES education statistics.

Final Report. AN - 63774232; ED172632 AB - Data are provided on fall 1977 enrollment in American colleges and universities. Information is grouped under four major categories: summary tables, enrollment by level of institution, enrollment by state, and enrollment by institution. The data were obtained from the 3,130 two-year and four-year public and private colleges and universities and their branches included in the National Center for Education Statistics'"Education Directory: 1977-78 Colleges and Universities." Race/ethnic and major field of study data were not collected in fall 1977. Background information on the survey population, questionnaire editing procedures, and a reproduction of the survey instrument are appended. Findings are summarized as follows: total enrollment in fall 1977 in all institutions of higher education increased 2.6 percent over the previous year; the trend toward increased enrollment of women continued in fall 1977; there were greater increases in part-time than in full-time enrollment in both public and private institutions; at public colleges and universities, there was an increase of 2.9 percent in first-time freshman enrollment in 1977, while the opposite was true for private institutions, which experienced a slight drop (0.1 percent) in first-time freshman enrollment.

Two sample surveys provide data for this report: the Survey of Recent College Graduates (RCGS) conducted in spring 1976 of 1974-75 graduates and the Local Education Agency (LEA) survey of Teacher and Administrator Shortages conducted in fall 1977. The RCGS collected data on teacher supply (number of graduates newly qualified to teach, by field), and on teacher demand (number hired as teachers) from a sample of about 5,000 graduates of 209 colleges and universities. The LEAs collected data on teacher and administrator shortages (number sought but not hired because qualified candidates were unavailable) and on fields for which there is expected to be an emerging or growing demand for teachers or administrators from a sample of about 500 school districts. Appendix A presents additional detailed information on the OE teacher training programs. Appendix B contains descriptions of the surveys and estimates of sampling errors.

AN - 63673355; ED180015 AB - A survey of the uses of instructional telelvision (ITV) in elementary and secondary schools throughout the United States was undertaken by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the National Center for Education Statistics. Teachers, principals, and superintendents were queried in the areas of availability, commitment, actual use, and attitudes. A small sample of students was surveyed about actual use. The final sampling was representative of approximately 12,000 school districts; 90,000 school buildings; 2,275,000 classrooms; and 46,000,000 students. Results of the survey showed that approximately one out of three teachers used television regularly in 1976-77; approximately 15 million students received a regular portion of their instruction via television; most teachers who used television for instruction integrated it with other classroom activities; an estimated 73 to 100 million dollars was spent on ITV by school districts in 1976-77; 64% of school superintendents expected school district expenditures for ITV to increase or remain the same through 1980; only 17% of all teachers had been trained to use ITV; and teachers who had instructional television available most often cited their local public television station as a major source of ITV programing.

AN - 63668659; ED176689 AB - An update, as of 1977, of four National Center for Education Statistics reports concerned with changing patterns in degree awards to women is presented. Separate chapters are devoted to bachelor's, master's, doctoral, and first-professional degrees. Each chapter consists of an overview, an examination by field of study of the percentage representation of women among degree recipients in 1977 as compared with 1971, and an examination of the relative popularity of different fields of study for men and for women, and how this has changed between 1971 and 1977. An overall finding of the report is that most of the trends identified in the four small reports continue to be evident in the 1977 data. Among findings are that at all four degree levels women continued to increase their percentage representation among degree recipients; that in 1977 women accounted for 46.2 percent of the bachelor's degrees, 47.1 percent of the master's degrees, 24.3 percent of the doctoral degrees, and 18.7 percent of the first-professional degrees; and that at both the bachelor's and master's levels women tended to show the greatest increases in those fields in which they have traditionally had small representation.

No. 06-A-51. AN - 63607917; ED193314 AB - The National Assessment of Educational Progress reports data about levels of educational achievement of 9-, 13-, and 17-year-olds in several learning areas, including art, music, literature, reading, mathematics and science. Within each age group, females' and males' levels of art achievement were compared, and sex differences were contrasted with results from the other assessment areas. In the 1974 art assessment items fell into four categories: (1) affective involvement with art; (2) cognitive activities involved with art; (3) drawing and design skills; and (4) art participation background information. Conclusions show art as not having strong female or male dominance. Males' and females' drawing skills in particular show mixed percentages of success. Neither sex at any age level was very knowledgable about art. Attitudes toward art differ with age. Sex related patterns of achievement in art are unlike those from literature and music; females conform to popular expectations in literature and music while they do not always in art. Achievement patterns vary across ages and topics with respect to male-female dominance and the science results show consistent male dominance throughout.

The purpose of the first action is to ensure that colleges and universities understand their obligation to provide women an equal opportunity to achieve their full potential in athletic activities. The action establishes a two-part approach (immediate and long range) to compliance and enforcement which is designed to take account of the economic realities facing the nation's colleges. The purpose of the second action is to take DHEW out of the business of examining the rules imposed by local school authorities on the way students may dress or wear their hair. A statement by the Secretary of HEW on the proposed actions is also included.

One dimension, the classification of the cognitive abilities required to answer specific science questions, was divided into four categories: (1) knowledge; (2) comprehension; (3) application; and (4) analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. The other dimension divided the domain of science into three major areas: content, process, and science and society. The questions illustrate various topics of the biological sciences, earth sciences, physical sciences, and integrated topics such as equilibrium, evolution, and probability. This document gives examples of several types of questions, and gives a summary of student performance categorized according to age, sex, ethnic background, region, size and type of community, and level of parental education.

AN - 63583881; ED193678 AB - Two studies were conducted to assess the listening ability of 17-year-old students with particular interest in the relationship among listening ability, verbal ability, and racial/ethnic bias in the test items. The first study, a National Assessment of Educational Progress and Speech Communication Association pilot project, indicated that there was potential item bias based on minority ethnic group response. However, no real data on the students' verbal ability was available to substantiate possible explanations. In the second study, two packages of listening items, each approximately 35 minutes in length were developed, and a 25-item vocabulary test was administered to estimate verbal ability. Recording of the listening items was made by individuals using network English. The results indicated that there was a positive correlation between listening ability and verbal ability, suggesting that the differing responses of minority and nonminority students in the first study could be attributed to differing levels of verbal ability, rather than item bias.

Conducted by the National Assessment of Educational Progress, the study measured achievement of six behavioral objectives. These were: (1) show concern for the well-being and dignity of others, (2) support just law and the rights of all individuals, (3) know the main structure and functions of government, (4) participate in democratic civic improvement, (5) understand important world, national, and local civic problems, and (6) approach civic decisions rationally. Students in the survey represented nine-, 13-, and 17-year-old age groups. Chapter one of the report is a summary of citizenship achievement at each age for all six objectives. Chapters two through seven each focus on one of the objectives, discussing overall results for that particular objective and featuring sample questions. The final chapter compares different performance levels among age groups. Tables of data accompany the discussion in all chapters.

Selected Results from the Second Assessment of Social Studies. AN - 63735243; ED161791 AB - The report presents data on changes in social studies achievement for young Americans aged nine, 13, and 17 during the period 1972-76. Data were collected through two surveys conducted by the National Assessment of Educational Progress during the 1971-72 and 1975-76 school years. Test items were categorized in three major areas: knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Four topics included under knowledge were economics, geography, history, and politics. Skill items dealt with ability to obtain and interpret information; questions about attitudes covered support for constitutional rights and respect for others. In this report, the first three chapters describe results for the three major areas. Each chapter includes a summary of changes in national performance, samples of the items used, and data for various population groups. Chapter four compares achievement for 13 and 17-year-olds. Overall results of the assessment revealed that nine-year-olds showed no statistically significant change in performance, and that 13 and 17-year-olds' performance declined. Seventeen-year-old Hispanic students and students living in the West displayed smaller declines than the nation as a whole. Although overall performance of blacks remained below that of whites, at age nine blacks showed more improvement than whites. At age 13 black performance remained the same while white performance declined. (Author/AV) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Change) (Selective).

AN - 63845400; ED156598 AB - This study examined the relationship of cognitive and affective objectives to art experiences using data from the 1974-75 national assessment of art. The 1974-75 assessment used art exercises to measure cognitive and affective objectives of nearly 27,000 students aged 9, 13, and 17. The cognitive exercises were designed to assess students' perceptions and responses to aspects of art, their knowledge perceptions and responses to aspects of art, their knowledge of specific artworks and artistic periods, and their ability to make and justify judgments about aesthetic merit and quality of works of art. Affective exercises were aimed at securing information about students' general affective orientation toward art, their ability to recognize and express reasonably sophisticated conceptions of artworks and artists, and their openness toward artistic experimentation and unusual forms and styles of artwork. Students were questioned about their experiences with art: art done outside of school; visits to art museums or galleries; collecting art; and learning art or taking art classes in school. Singular Value Decomposition and Principal-Component analyses were used. These results suggest positive relationships between art experiences and performance on knowledge and affective exercises. Findings showed that the more art experiences students have the greater percentage of correct or desirable responses to cognitive and affective exercises.

Language-minority persons were found to be educationally disadvantaged on two key measures: school grade attainment for age and drop-out rate. SIE findings for persons of Hispanic origin who usually speak Spanish show that on these measures, this group is even more disadvantaged than language-minority persons in the aggregate. In addition to summaries of some of the findings, data are presented on the percentages of students two or more years behind expected age-grade levels by ethnic origin and language characteristics and on the numbers and percentages of students age 6 to 20 in grades 1 to 12 who were below expected grade levels. Additionally, numbers and percentages of persons 14 to 25 years old who had not completed four years of high school and were not currently enrolled are also presented.

Fletcher, Prepared for The Joint Economic Committee Special Study on Economic Change, June 1, 1978. AN - 63846778; ED156379 AB - Demography, urban to rural migration, new educational technologies, and the human potential movement all impact on education. With the decline in number of school-aged children, schools can try to expand the number of students downward (early childhood education/day care), outward (special education, dropouts), or upward (adults), expand service through use of school facilities for social services, and/or rethink the role of schools. In urban to rural migration, the key distinction is whether migrants want to be in rural areas. Those who do not may try to "urbanize" the area, with detrimental affects on education through consolidation and inappropriate urban-oriented curriculums. Schools, already information poor and technologically backward, may be left behind as information providers as society faces revolutionary technological changes in communication through home computers, video-disc technology, laser-modulated fiber optics, and advanced satellites. The self-actualization movement in progress may influence schools to work toward a balanced development of the full range of human capabilities, addressing motivation to learn. Suggestions for economic policy dealing with each of the four areas are based on data presented. (RS) AU - Fletcher, Jerry L.

Selected Results from the First National Assessment of Art. AN - 63834928; ED155125 AB - Summaries of results are presented for student achievement on art exercises from a national art assessment program conducted during 1974-75. Two technical reports document the results of the national assessment. Exercise-by-exercise results are reported in the "Art Technical Report: Exercise Volume" (see TM 006 981). This report, a companion to the Exercise Volume, summarizes results across sets of exercises for various groups of students. The introduction explains how national percentages and differences from the national percentage were derived. Chapter one offers summary statistics on students' achievement on art knowledge exercises. Males' achievement levels were significantly higher than the national average. Blacks performed below the national level, and whites performed slightly above it at all ages. Chapter two reviews affective response summary data. Questions on this part of the assessment dealt with students' attitudes toward art and their open-mindedness toward different styles of art. Whites showed slightly more positive responses than did blacks. In general, degree of participation in art activities influenced degree of positive responses. Chapter three shows a juxtaposition of achievement levels for art knowledge and art affective responses by age groups. For example, it is shown that at age nine, more males than females were positively oriented toward art, but neither males nor females performed significantly differently from the national average on art knowledge.

Recommendations in this report reflect that effort to bring education and tribal affairs closer and so improve education delivery services to tribal people. Recommendations include: (1) that the Indian Education Act be reauthorized for a five year period and that it be funded at a minimum level of $275,800,000 with a minimum staff level of 66 positions; (2) that the Office of Indian Education and the Office of Education institute a coordination policy to insure access to and promote maximum participation of American Indians and Alaska Natives in all programs in the Office of Education and Health, Education and Welfare; and (3) that Indian controlled institutes for higher education be given more support. Recommendations were formulated at council meetings in Arizona, Washington, D.C., Colorado, Texas, and Minnesota; summaries of these meetings are included. An appendix includes descriptions of vocational education discretionary programs, an appeal by a native Hawaiian for support of a proposed amendment to the Indian Education Act to include native Hawaiians, testimony on "A School for Me, Inc." for handicapped Indian children, and distribution options for Johnson O'Malley educational assistance.

The report describes the data base and methods of measuring changes of performance. It reports on the general patterns of change in science achievement across three age groups; the trend is downwards for the 9 and the 13 year olds, but to a lesser extent than in the first and second assessments, while achievement level of the 17 year olds continues to decline over the three assessments. Students in rural areas have shown consistent improvement in succeeding assessments. The report shows that the achievement level of whites is higher than that of blacks, and that of males is also higher than that of females in all three assessments. In the three appendices at the end numerous tables of results are supplied. (GA) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Change) (Selective).

AN - 63757195; ED166122 AB - Information is presented from a study of achievement and interest among students in age groups nine, 13, and 17 in the area of art education. Major objectives of the study were to generate information on how much time students spend enjoying works of art, how important they perceive art to be, how they evaluate works of art, what types of art they prefer, and differences among art activities and attitudes of students in different socioeconomic groups. The document is presented in five chapters. Chapter I concentrates on students' appreciation of art. Findings indicated that substantial numbers of students value art and pursue it in some form. Chapter II presents detailed information about student perceptions of art. Findings indicated that a majority of young people appreciate art but do not indicate a broad or sophisticated understanding of the nature or function of art in American culture. Chapters III and IV examine young people's general criteria for evaluating works of art. The final chapter offers conclusions, including that students have little experience with art museums and galleries, display varying attitudes toward art depending upon their socioeconomic background, and that schools should place more emphasis on aesthetic education programs.

The more than 100,000 individuals who participated nationally were divided into the four following age categories: nine-year-olds, thirteen-year-olds, seventeen-year-olds, and young adults ages twenty-six to thirty-five. Each group completed a group of exercises designed to assess knowledge or skills generally useful in the world of work, knowledge about jobs, self-appraisal skills, work-related experiences, and work-related values. The variables assessed were (1) region of the country and size and type of community; (2) educational level of parents and self, which included parental education, the relationship between grade and age, and the participant's own education and continuing education; and (3) sex, race, and socioeconomics, which included home environment and family income. (The results are presented in bar graphs, and the appendixes provide probability levels of differences between reporting groups within variables and estimates of percentages of blacks, whites, other races, and nations for the young adult participants.)

The water used for this purpose is normally made by distillation. During distillation, the endotoxins in the feed water carry over by entrainment and contaminate the distillate. In order to prevent endotoxins and other impurities from entering the distilled water, the still must be designed to prevent creepage and entrainment. The water in a storage vessel must also be kept sterile and protected from chemical contamination. The apparatus of this invention includes a distillation flask, a carboy and a condenser unit, all of borosilicate glass. A respective filter is provided between the ambient atmosphere and the interiors of the flask, the carboy and the condenser unit to remove airborne bacteria and dust particles. In inlet valve is provided for feeding water into the flask, all water-contacting parts of this valve being of polytetrafluoroethylene. The open parts are interconnected with flexible, polytetrafluoroethylene tubing. A two-way, stopcock allows high-purity water to be removed from the carboy.

Human Services Bibliography Series. AN - 63733471; ED163320 AB - Since the advent of institutional care in the nineteenth century, there has been extensive discussion concerning the relative merits and constraints inherent in such service provision. In the twentieth century, the trend toward institutionalization began to be reversed. Patients or clients were released or returned to communities and community care through increasingly available medical and social resources. The impetus toward the use of alternatives to institutionalization has come from federal legislation and from a continuing loss of institutionalized clientele since the 1950's. These occurrences have caused a great deal of discussion and prompted an examination of the present-day patient or client population's use of state and public institutions and community support services. Possible sources of documented information are presented. (KA) Y1 - 1978/04// PY - 1978 DA - April 1978 SP - 86 PB - Project Share, P.O.

AN - 63840115; ED151972 AB - This study examines the entitlement and payment arrangements set out in the maintenance and operations portion of the impact aid laws. Section 1 provides a brief background description of the program, including the changes made in the 1974 Amendments, a recent budget history, and a description of the program's beneficiaries. Section 2 contains an assessment of the major features of the program and the extent to which they achieve the program's objectives. Specifically, three major issues are addressed: Are school districts adequately compensated for federally imposed burdens? Are impact aid funds equitably distributed in terms of district needs and federal impact? Does impact aid interfere with state equalization programs? In Section 3 a variety of reform options are presented that address the problems described in Section 2. Each of these options is analyzed in terms of its ability to improve current practices. Section 4 combines several of the reforms of Section 3 into three comprehensive reform packages. These address specific reform goals and illustrate the effects of simultaneously changing several aspects of the program. (Author/IRT) AU - Brown, Lawrence L.

AN - 63840508; ED153906 AB - The purpose of this paper is to use data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress to describe changes in performance within the subject area of social studies and citizenship education. The items from the citizenship and social studies national assessments illustrate that trends over time are not uniform within these subject areas. The first assessment of citizenship was conducted during 1969-1970 and the first assessment of social studies was conducted during 1971-1972. Both subject areas were reassessed in 1975-1976. The population sampled were 9-, 13-, and 17-year-olds. There are two main sections to the paper: the first describes and analyzes changes in political knowledge and attitudes, while the second describes and analyzes changes in social studies skills, knowledge, and attitudes. Trends indicated declining performance in the area of political knowledge and attitudes. Achievement levels dropped in all the content areas assessed, particularly in knowledge of government and political process. Students' valuing of constitutional rights and respect for others did not decline substantially. Changes in overall social studies achievement appeared related to age level: 9-year-olds showed no significant change; 13-year-olds achievement declined slightly; and 17-year-olds performance dropped substantially.

Selected Results from the Second National Assessments of Citizenship and Social Studies. AN - 63757737; ED166123 AB - This report summarizes a study of citizenship and social studies attitudes and knowledge conducted by the National Assessment of Educational Progress. The survey of citizenship was conducted during the 1968-69 and 1969-70 school years; the survey of social studies was administered during the 1971-72 school year. During the school year 1975-76, items from both assessments were reassessed to determine changes in performance. Test items emphasized political knowledge and attitudes in five major content areas: constitutional rights, respect for others, structure and function of government, political process, and international affairs. In this report, the first five chapters describe results for each of the five content areas. Chapter six gives results for different population subgroups, and chapter seven presents interpretive remarks about the data by experts in the fields of citizenship and social studies. Many tables and charts supplement the written text in each chapter. (AV) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Change) (Selective).

AN - 63748011; ED160646 AB - With the view that social scientists conduct too little exploratory research, the author outlines the methods and attitudes of the exploratory analyst and describes the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) as a source of research data. Exploratory analysis, in which no paradigm is used, is contrasted with confirmatory research, which is designed to extend a paradigm to the solution of a new problem. Three methods of organizing exploratory research are described: (1) ordinary-concept research, which is organized around concepts or catch words; (2) social problems research, which is organized around important social problems; and (3) mono-method research, which is organized around a particular analytic method. Skepticism about which results are considered true and which are in error, attention to outlying data, and an unwillingness to make assumptions are described as characteristics of the exploratory researcher. Since exploratory research is most often done by reanalyzing data collected for some other purpose, the breadth, precision and accuracy of the survey data available from the National Assessment of Educational Progress is described, with an emphasis on its usefulness to the exploratory researcher. Sample paradigms concerning the conceptual framework of human learning are appended. (JAC) Primary type of information provided by report: Procedures (Theoretical). AU - Burton, Nancy W.

Several possibilities for developing such a common core include education centered around our common heritage and the challenges of the present. It is suggested that all students must be introduced to the events, individuals, the great ideas, and great literature that have contributed to human gains and losses. In the area of present challenges three proposals are made: (1) all students should be required to master the written and spoken word; (2) the functions of social institutions to which we are all tied should be clarified; and (3) the meaning of vocation should be explained.

AN - 63838891; ED155116 AB - The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) encountered problems when developing a comprehensive assessment of consumer skills of 17-year-olds in 1978. When NAEP conducted a nationwide assessment of basic life skills of 17-year-olds in 1977, there was considerable interest in the consumer skills portion. Therefore, it was decided to prepare a comprehensive assessment program of skills in areas of personal finance, consumer protection, consumer behavior, economics, and energy. However, because this topic had not been part of the regular assessment schedule, funds and time were limited. A set of consumer objectives prepared by the Duval County Public School System in Jacksonville, Florida was used as a guideline in developing the assessment. Problems encountered during this stage included translation of the Florida curriculum objectives into measurement objectives, and unfamiliarity with developing paper-and-pencil instruments in areas of consumer behavior and economics. During the item reviews, questions were raised about content. Reviewers had difficulty agreeing on whether the items should merely test each student's knowledge of his own behavior, or test knowledge of group and industrial behavior. In solving the problems, efforts were made to simplify language and relate important concepts to particular consumer problems. Plans for administration of the assessment in the spring of 1978 and dissemination of results are also described.

The institutions are shown in State order and alphabetically within States for each accreditation. Additional institutional characteristics given for each institution include institutional size, control (public, independent, or other), level (two-year, four-year, or university), and in-state and out-of-state tuition. An index is included indicating where to find data in this report for all professional accreditations that the institution has. As an illustration of its use, perhaps a secondary school student, in attempting to select a college or university to attend, has already selected a field of interest but wants to know what other accredited fields are available at this same institution in order to select a second major, a chief minor, or to have a fall-back position for a potential change of major. This publication will provide some of the information required by students to select an institution that will meet their needs.

The survey was designed to determine: (1) the extent of data currently available at the state level on the numbers of persons in the potential target group in each state, (2) the numbers who were served with special state and/or local programs in 1974-75, and (3) the personnel working with programs at the local and state levels. It was a preliminary effort to learn something about the extent of state and local effort to meet the needs of this group. It was also an attempt to obtain information about the extent of available data on special programs under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and participation in them by limited-English-speaking persons. Information is presented on the legislative authority for bilingual education programs and certification of teachers for programs for persons from non-English-dominant backgrounds.

Institutions were chosen for inclusion based upon whether they were historically black institutions. Three of the institutions are currently majority-white student bodies: Bluefield State College (West Virginia), Lincoln University (Missouri), and West Virginia State College. The listing by state includes the location, year established, control, type (two or four-year), 1976 fall enrollment (by percentage black, sex, and attendance status), first-time freshmen enrollment, and the name of the chief executive officer. The findings include: the 1976 enrollment for the institutions totalled 212,118. Publicly controlled institutions enrolled the great majority compared with private institutions even though there are more private than public institutions. Institutions in North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas enrolled the largest numbers of students. Only 16 of the 106 institutions were two-year institutions, and 11 of these were privately controlled. Nearly 88 percent of the students enrolled in the traditionally black institutions were black.

In 1971, 23l,000 master's degrees were awarded in the United States, and 40 percent were awarded to women. In 1976, the total number awarded was 313,000, and those awarded to women had increased to 46 percent. In 1971, women predominated in six fields: education, foreign languages, health professions, home economics, letters, and library science. In 1976, women still predominated in the same six traditionally feminine fields, but women increased their percentage representation in 20 out of 24 fields, suggesting a general, though small, tendency among women to become less tradition-bound in selecting their field of study. The two fields in which women constituted an overwhelming majority in 1971 (home economics and library science) had declined slightly by 1976, and the fields in which women were at least represented in 1971 showed the largest increases in the 1976 data. Education continued to be the favorite field, accounting for 57 percent of all master's degrees awarded to women. Data are presented on the percentage distribution of degrees by academic field for both men and women for 1971 and 1976. Appendices provide data on the numbers and percentages of degrees awarded to women by academic field for each year from 1970-71 through 1975-76. (SW) AU - Brown, George H.

AN - 63749748; ED162162 AB - The majority of women enrolled in noncollegiate postsecondary vocational schools in October, 1976, were twenty-five years of age and over and attended school part-time while working full-time. The enrollment of women of age eighteen and over in noncollegiate postsecondary schools in October, 1976, was almost equal to that of men. When enrollments are examined by age and labor force participation, differences between men and women become apparent. For eighteen- to twenty-one-year-olds, the number of women participating in vocational education greatly exceeded that of men, while the participation rate of women of age twenty-two to thirty-four was considerably below that of men. Women enrolled full-time were primarily in the younger age groups, while the part-time women students were concentrated in the older age groups. Comparing women to men students, sixty percent of the women versus eight-three percent of the men held jobs, seven percent of the women and men were unemployed and looking for work, and thirty-three percent of the women versus ten percent of the men were not in the labor force. Seventy-four percent of the employed women students and ninety percent of the employed men students were full-time workers. Most vocational students (fifty-one percent) had completed high school and thirty-nine percent had some college experience. (EM) AU - Kay, Evelyn R.

AN - 63748664; ED162566 AB - Changes in the percentage representation of women among recipients of first professional degrees are examined between the academic years 1970-71 and 1975-76. The data were collected through the annual Survey of Degrees and Other Formal Awards Conferred. A first professional degree is one that "signifies completion of the academic requirements for beginning practice in a given profession.'" Eight professions are considered: dentistry, medicine, optometry, osteopathic medicine, podiatry, veterinary medicine, law, and theology. While women increased their percentage representation in all eight of these professions, they still constitute a distinct minority in all fields, and available enrollment data suggest that these trends will continue. Data are presented on the percentage of women among first year enrollments in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, and law for each year from 1971 to 1976. Women's percentage representation among first-year enrollments increased every year from 1971 through 1976. Data are presented on the relative popularity of the various fields among women seeking a first professional degree, and comparative data for men are presented. Based on the 1976 data, pharmacy is the field in which women are most highly represented, and the fields of law and medicine together account for 86 percent of all first professional degrees awarded to women in 1976.

AN - 63746591; ED165304 AB - Projections of U.S. public elementary and secondary school enrollments and teacher supply and demand for 1978-86 are summarized in this report. Where possible, the grade retention method is used; otherwise projections are based on three alternate fertility rate estimates. Enrollments in elementary schools have decreased since 1970 to 47.8 million in 1978 and are expected to decrease further to 44.5 million by 1983 and 1984. Starting in 1985, enrollments are expected to increase gradually. The most likely K-8 enrollment projection indicates that K-8 enrollment will decrease to a low of 29.9 million in 1985. Enrollment in grades 9-12 is expected to decrease to 13.2 million in 1986. If an intermediate estimate of pupil/teacher ratio is correct, the number of unemployed teachers should decrease slightly from 2.4 million in 1978 to 2.3 million in the early 1980s before climbing back to 2.4 million in 1985. Decreases in elementary enrollment have not always resulted in corresponding decreases in need for elementary school teachers because of decreases in pupil/teacher ratios. Enrollment decreases in secondary schools, however, are likely to be accompanied by significant decreases in teachers employed. There should be more than enough teacher graduates in the reserve pool to ensure a teacher surplus through 1986. (Author/JM) AU - Frankel, Martin M.

The annual report is intended for educators, school boards, legislators, and educational researchers who require up-to-date knowledge of school bond sales for planning future school bond programs. Data, summarized by state, are presented in tables and charts containing information on the number and dollar value of bond issues voted on and passed and the number, dollar value, and net interest of bonds sold. The study revealed several general findings about bond sales nationally. Bond elections reached new lows in fiscal year 1976; only 770 issues were voted on and only 391 were approved. The dollar value ($970) of bond issues approved was the lowest recorded since the study began in 1958. Bond sales for fiscal year 1976 increased slightly over fiscal year 1975. The average net interest cost for fiscal year 1976 was 6.25 percent, down slightly from the previous year. The monthly average net interest cost reached a new high of 7.1 percent for September 1975.

State Educational Records and Reports Series: Handbook XI. AN - 63732760; ED163659 AB - This classification of educational subject matter encompasses subject matter in preelementary through postdoctoral levels. As opposed to instructional programs, which represent the form and style by which knowledge is transmitted (such as nursing, college preparatory, or journalism programs), educational subject matter deals with the knowledge itself (such as English, psychology, or physical education). This classification of subject matter is intended to provide a single standardized scheme for reporting, recording, and exchanging data about subject matter. It will be of use in providing common data about subject matter over longitudinal studies, between instructional levels, and in local, state, and federal data reporting. The classification contains 22 first-order subject-matter areas from agriculture to social sciences. Within each area, subject matter is divided into second-order, third-order, and if necessary, fourth-order entries. A digit coding structure is also used to classify all entries. Definitions of each order and suborder of subject matter are provided. A lengthy appendix lists other means of classifying subject matter, including difficulty, by level of instruction, by organization providing instruction, and by type of instructional program. An alphabetical index of all orders and suborders is also included. (Author/JM) AU - Chismore, Dale W. AU - Hill, Quentin M.

The data also fulfills several needs of various state and federal legislative and executive agencies. The data were collected from the survey instrument "Degrees and Other Formal Awards Conferred" for the 11th annual Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics. Data on baccalaureate and higher degrees are presented in tables that show the numbers of degrees granted by level and degree, institutional control and level, sex of recipient, state, and discipline division, and specialty. Comparative data for 1971-72 are included, and parts A and B of the survey form are appended. (SW) AU - Smith, Stanley V. AU - Wells, Agnes Q.

AN - 63151498; ED295561 AB - The "Inventory of College and University Physical Facilities" machine-readable data file (MRDF) is a subfile of the larger Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS). It includes basic data on the number of square feet of physical plant space, by type of room, function of room, organizational unit, and instructional program. Data was collected for 1966-67, 1968-69, 1969-70, 1970-71, 1971-72, 1974-75, and 1978-79. The data from the 1978-79 mail survey contains information from approximately 700 randomly selected public and private postsecondary institutions in the United States. One of the primary purposes of the survey was to obtain information as to the accessibility of college facilities and programs to handicapped persons, particularly those with mobility impairments. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires that all programs of institutions receiving federal financial assistance have this accessibility. Data is also available on the gross square feet of building space by age of the building, extending from pre-1900 till 1970 in 10-year intervals. Total floor space is divided into "accessible" and "inaccessible" as pertains to mobility-impaired students. Total square feet are given for planned conversion of inaccessible to accessible space, plus estimated modification costs. Estimated enrollment data for mobility, visually, and acoustically-impaired students are included. The total number of beds in institutionally owned or operated housing is provided, along with the number that can accommodate mobility-impaired students. Finally, the accessibility, inaccessibility, and intended conversion of 19 categories of campus rooms is listed in square feet. The attributes of each institution precede each record, for sorting or selection purposes. POPULATION: Higher Education Institutions (>3,200). TYPE OF SURVEY: National Survey; Sample Survey.

The total number of bachelor's degrees awarded in the United States in 1971 was 846,000, of which about 43 percent were awarded to women. In 1976, the total was 934,000, and the number awarded to women had increased to about 46 percent. In actual numbers, about 426,000 women and 509,000 men received bachelor's degrees in 1976. There appears to be very little difference between men and women in terms of the total number of bachelor's degrees awarded. The representation of women among degree recipients varies greatly by discipline division. Disciplines in which women most and least predominated are listed, and the trends are briefly analyzed. In addition to presenting year-by-year proportions and numbers of women in each field, the distribution of women and men across discipline divisions is provided. (SW) AU - Brown, George H.

AN - 63818372; ED149163 AB - A study of the federal role in the advancement of lifelong learning focused on the probable impact of a federally supported lifelong learning system and the existing educational system on one another. The conditions and parameters of the following claim were examined: any lifelong learning enterprise initially funded by the federal government outside of the existing educational system as nonsequential, nonselective and noncertificatory will be transformed into a system that is sequenced, selective, and certificatory. The conclusions were that (1) any effort to determine federal policy in the case of lifelong learning by the conduct of small-scale experiments is likely to be maximally misleading, (2) there are many opportunities for a small-scale federal role to be quite successful by attaching an increase of lifelong learning opportunities to already existing federal programs, (3) any new initiative in lifelong learning should constitute a rapid expansion of those institutions that are free, accessible, and open to all Americans without discrimination, and (4) some subsidies should be made available for existing institutions to serve new populations. (Much of this report is devoted to showing how a federally supported expansion of lifelong learning opportunities will develop into a system much like the existing educational system, and how that will affect the existing educational system.)

AN - 63842695; ED154036 AB - Recognizing the lack of public confidence in the schools, public officials and educators should discuss the proper use and limitations of competency testing and the implementation of national tests. Competency tests should be used for diagnosis, for certifying that students possess basic skills, and for public awareness. They should not be the sole criterion for assessing competency; furthermore, there are apsects of learning beyond academic achievement which tests do not measure, such as maturity, self-discipline, honesty and judgment. National tests are strongly discouraged for these reasons: they lack local commitment; no test is right for every school; there is no one definition for minimal competency; and they would discourage local experimentation. While each state and school district should develop a competency program, the federal government should and will take a limited role by supporting the following ventures: (1) The National Academy of Sciences will conduct a major test evaluation and usage study; (2) The Education Commission of the States and similar organizations will run workshops and provide technical assistance; (3) The National Academy of Education will establish an advisory Committee on Testing and Basic Skills; (4) The Office of Education's Project on Fundamental Skills will coordinate 13 different federal programs dealing with basic skills; (5) The National Institute of Education will study student failure; (6) Educational television and video-disk Programs will be developed; (7) The critical role of parents in educating their children will be strengthened. Finally, public officials and educators should strengthen their commitment to fairness in admitting minorities to professional schools. (CF) AU - Califano, Joseph A.

A Study Conducted with a Grant from The Ford Foundation Focusing on Selected Aspects of Agriculture, Economics and Health. AN - 63840186; ED154200 AB - The National Assessment of Educational Progress studies selected research efforts in the agriculture, economics, and health fields to discover successful strategies for the dissemination and adoption of educational research. Interviews were conducted with people familiar with the Agricultural Extension Movement, Health Examination Interview Surveys, and the Consumer Expenditure Survey as well as with people experienced in the dissemination of educational research information. (Five appendixes contain lists of participants in the study and descriptions of the study methods and resources.) Findings and recommendations included the following: (1) Careful planning of research directions to avoid duplicate efforts requires a good communication structure. (2) Thorough planning and development of methodology and instruments for data collection includes site visits, pretests, and rigorous standards. (3) Positive staff morale needs to be developed; a variety of effective measures are available. (4) Efficient dissemination of research findings involves the use of computer information and retrieval systems, reports, publications, etc.; a model system was found to be the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Current Research Information System. (5) The effective communication of research results to key decisionmakers demands the use of easily comprehensible language and format and the proximity of the researchers to the policy makers to facilitate regular contact and appearances at hearings. The success of adoption of research information depends on linking agents which assume increasing importance for education since so many innovations are at the local level. (Specific strategies found to be effective are listed and discussed under each of the five categories of findings.)

The report is based on detailed analyses of two writing assignments: the first required 9-year-olds and 13-year-olds to write and revise a school report about the moon, and the second required 17-year-olds to write and revise a letter of complaint in response to a practical, reasonably complex situation. Approximately 2,500 individuals at each age level responded to one of these exercises. The interaction of such variables as group differences, sex, race, parental education, community type, and region is summarized. Several visual displays of the data obtained are included.

Selected Results from the First National Assessment of Art, June 1977. AN - 63922427; ED141249 AB - The first comprehensive attempt to measure student achievement in art on a national scale at the elementary, junior high, and high school levels is described. The assessment was conducted during 1974-75 with groups of nine-, 13-, and 17-year-olds. This report examines four design and drawing exercises that measure art-production activities. Art production objectives include ability to (1) produce original works of art, (2) express visual ideas fluently, (3) produce works of art with a particular expressive content, and (4) demonstrate application of media and forming processes. This report contains comparative score tables of the three age groups accompanied by drawings which were judged to be acceptable, unacceptable, or above average. The exercises involved drawing people seated at a table as seen from one end, a bedroom wall which incorporates a door, and three children at a playground at various distances from the viewer. In another drawing exercise, students were asked to show motion by using parts of the human anatomy or expressive devices. Techniques included foreshortening, overlapping, tilted planes, and point perspective. Results showed similar scores in males and females, lower scores in blacks and low-metropolitan students, and greatest increases in achievement between the ages of nine and 13. Original plans for comprehensive assessment of art education were curtailed in 1973 by budgetary changes. Additional exercises will be included in the 1978-79 art assessment program.

The recommendations made by the study group are designed to serve as specific answers for the improved management, delivery, and integrity of these programs. Three key areas requiring resolution are identified and serve as focal points for the report: (1) eligibility and certification procedures for institutions, students, and lenders; (2) delivery systems of the various financial assistance programs; and (3) program management and integrity of the agencies, institutions, and publics involved in federal student assistance programs. Some of the recommendations made in the report have been carried out or are being carried out; others require legislative and/or regulatory action, and some, deliberative review. Recommendations are indexed by subject area. A list of participants in public hearings and a bibliograbhy are included.

Science Technical Report: Summary Volume. AN - 63919320; ED141135 AB - Each year since 1969, National Assessment has gathered information about levels of achievement. This report summarizes the National Assessment study of changes in science achievement for 9-year-olds, 13-year-olds, and 17-year-olds attending schools. Having assessed achievements in science twice, National Assessment can report information on the progress or decline of knowledge in science. Highlights of the study indicate that knowledge of fundamental scientific facts and principles as measured by National Assessment declined among American students between 1969 and 1973. Other data indicate the gap between students in the Southeast and other parts of the nation narrowed between 1969 and 1973. Performance of boys continued to exceed those of girls. Performance of white students also continued to exceed those of blacks. Numerous tables and figures are used to present data.

Results were examined in relation to the achievement levels of students in the nation as a whole and those of black and white students. Representing a cross-section of typical schools across the country, the sample consisted of 75,000 students, of which about 2,500 answered a given question. Results were reported by age, region (Northeast and West), sex, and level of parental education. Among the results were: Hispanic achievement was consistently below that of the total national age population and of white students; Hispanic achievement was often closer to national levels than black achievement; the achievement of male Hispanos was consistently closer to national levels than that of females on the science items; and students who reported that one parent had at least graduated from high school was closer to the national level than those who reported that neither parent had graduated. Appended are: definitions of national assessment Hispanic-reporting categories, special analyses of reading items, statistics of the achievement of the white and black groups in each area; and proportion of Hispanic students within the national assessment samples.

Items in these five areas are distributed throughout six packages. These items were constructed to measure performance on the objectives listed in Appendix B. These assessment items can be part of a pool individual teachers may choose from; they can be used as instructional tools; or they can be part of a classroom-, school- or district-wide assessment. In the Spring of 1978, NAEP will publish nationwide results for these items. These and the results from a school or school district will allow national comparisons. The more closely NAEP procedures are replicated, the more valid will be comparisons with the national results. In addition to presenting the locations of the various items, the following information is also provided: a short general description of the item; a NAEP number useful for referring to NAEP results when they become available; an outline code referring to skill areas; and an answer key.

AN - 63808816; ED143736 AB - This paper compares the present official poverty measure with a relative measure of poverty. The comparison is made both conceptually and empirically. These two aspects comprise the two major parts of the paper. Within the first part, the conceptual section, various issues common to both poverty measures as well as the measures themselves are discussed. In the empirical section, both poverty standards (official and relative) are used to examine the extent and incidence of poverty. Particular emphasis is given to geographic comparisons in the incidence of poverty among families and how the incidence has varied between 1967 and 1974. In addition, attention is given to how the choice between measuring family income on a national versus state average affects the geographical distribution of relative poverty. The paper assumes some familiarity with the Federal government's official statistical poverty measure. It is recommended that readers refer to "The Measure of Poverty", a multi-paper report prepared by an Interagency Poverty Studies Task Force, for additional information on this subject.

The purpose of this report is to attempt to summarize performance across all learning areas for each age group separately. Results were selected to provide a useful and interesting overview of what students know and can do. Each chapter of the report contains information about one of the three age groups. The first part of each chapter, "Summaries of Ten Learning Areas," is devoted to a series of short descriptions of the findings for each subject area. The second section of each chapter highlights achievements attained by students. The lists describe the actual achievements of many students, some students, and few students. Readers must decide for themselves whether these actual achievements are adequate or not. The third section, "Patterns of Group Results," summarizes the results obtained for regions of the country, males and females, blacks and whites, different types of communities, and different levels of parental education.

Preceding the report are descriptive highlights of the program. Title XX of the Social Security Act changes the role and relationships of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare; the individual states; and interested citizens with respect to planning, operating, and accounting for the Federal-State social services program. The most notable change and key provision under this legislation is the requirement that each state establish a formal process that includes public participation in the development of the program. The report is divided into three major sections. Section one contains a brief history of social services legislation prior to Title XX (enacted October 1, 1975) and a description of the major features of Title XX. Section two, the core of the report, outlines state implementation of Title XX and describes state approaches to planning and the services provided. Section three describes HEW evaluation and technical assistance activities offered to state offices with respect to the content of individual services programs, program planning, reporting, administration, and evaluation. Several appendices conclude the document, including a glossary of terms, charts, tables, and graphs on services provided to recipients, categories of recipients, and expenditure data by states.

Describing major meetings (held in Nevada, Maryland, Virginia, Wisconsin, Washington, D.C., and North Carolina), this report indicates that during 1976 the Council also recommended re: Title IV program applications; recommended nominees to the U.S. Commissioner of Education for the position of Deputy Commissioner of the Office of Indian Education (OIE); evaluated the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare programs and projects in which Indian children or adults might be able to participate; and attempted to provide technical assistance to educational agencies and Indian organizations. Among the recommendations presented are: that NACIE request the Congress, OIE, and other Federal agencies to fully review Federal assistance to public education of Indian children; that NACIE seek clarifications in existing legislation (re: a broader description of Indian education; more stress on Indian community control; Indian officers in parent committees; the definition of "Indian"; recognition of the special cultural rights of Indians regarding information dissemination).

The Measure of Poverty, Technical Paper VI. AN - 63922029; ED141464 AB - This technical study is concerned with both the statistical and policy effects of alternative definitions of poverty which result when the definition of means is altered by varying the time period (accounting period) over which income is measured or by including in the measure of means not only realized income, but also unrealized income and wealth itself. The first part of the study examines how various accounting periods and wealth measures of means affect counts of poverty and determine eligibility for assistance programs. The distribution of poverty across socioeconomic classes, as well as transits into and out of poverty under various definitions, is studied. The second part of the study examines the application of means measurements in existing income-conditionined public income transfer programs. The failure of current eligibility rules to count potential income, and the inconsistent use of various asset tests and accounting periods are noted. It is concluded that counts of the poverty population depend substantially upon the length of the accounting period and the extent to which net worth is considered available as means with which to meet consumption expenses during a period. The screening effects obtained by lengthening the accounting period are often similar to those obtained by adding some fraction of net worth to income in measuring means. Thus there are serious equity considerations in choosing the length of the accounting period and the treatment of net worth in measures of means because the share of total welfare going to various groups depends upon these two factors. Existing transfer programs, adopted in piecemeal fashion, have not made explicit their choice among various goals. These programs have adopted conflicting, confusing, and inequitable criteria for eligibility.

AN - 63906946; ED135006 AB - The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is an information-gathering project that surveys the educational attainments of 9 year olds, 13 year olds, 17 year olds, and adults (ages 26 to 35) in ten learning areas, one of which is writing. This report focuses on persuasive and explanatory letter writing, representing two basic aims of discourse. The letters, divided into two broad categories of social letters and business letters, were read and categorized by experienced English and composition teachers. NAEP reports the responses to certain exercises of groups of individuals defined according to sex, race, region of the country, level of parental education, and size and type of community. Some of the report's observations are that simple explanatory-writing skills are developed sometime between the ages of 9 and 13 and that persuasive-writing skills are complex and difficult to master.

The Measure of Poverty, Technical Paper IV. AN - 63809190; ED143737 AB - This paper discusses the three hypothetical market baskets of goods and services for which the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes annual cost estimates. This program is referred to as the standard budgets or family budget program. The family budget program provides: 1) estimates of budget levels originally constructed to represent standards of living; 2) interarea indexes of "living costs" based upon these budget estimates; and 3) adjustment factors to convert the budgets for other family sizes and types. Attention is given to the limitations of the family budgets as measures of income adequacy and to their use as indexes of interarea cost-of-living differences. Briefly, the general limitations of the budgets program with respect to defining poverty are: 1) as measures of income adequacy, 2) as measures of interarea cost of living differences, and 3) as adjustment of factors for various sizes and types of families. The paper also discusses the manner of living represented by the market baskets program, price measurement problems, geographic cost of living comparisons, and equivalence scales. In addition, it includes a short section which discusses areas for future research in this program. (Author/AM) AU - Sherwood, Mark K.

(Four age levels--9, 13, 17, and adults aged 26-35--were respondents in the study conducted during 1973-74.) This report presents, via summary data, work-related knowledge and skills, or proficiency levels, of the four age levels and delineates the proficiency of each group according to such variables as region of the country, race (black and white), education level of parents, and size and type of community. Three chapters are included. Chapter 1 briefly discusses major findings. Chapter 2 contains definitions of the population groups and item sets analyzed in the study, and a description of the conventions used to report the data.

The second followup survey, which is reported here, began in October 1974 and ended in April 1975. There were 20,872 who completed a Second Follow-Up Questionnaire. Of those who completed the First Follow-Up Questionnaire, 94.6 percent also participated in the second followup survey. Statistics from both surveys were weighted to provide estimated values for the total population and were computed and tabulated for different subgroups classified by sex, race, socioeconomic status, academic ability, type of high school program, and region; and some two-way cross-tabulations of sex and race with each of the other variables have been done. Specifications of these classification variables are contained in Appendix A. The information presented in this capsule report is based mainly on the second followup and includes what the graduates are doing now, persistence in post-secondary education, participation in jobs, and family and community life.

Sample Design Efficiency Study: Effects of Stratification, Clustering, and Unequal Weighting on the Variances of NLS Statistics. AN - 63829298; ED146189 AB - A complex two-stage sample selection process was used in designing the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972. The first-stage sampling frame used in the selection of schools was stratified by the following seven variables: public vs. private control, geographic region, grade 12 enrollment, proximity to institutions of higher education, percentage of minority group enrollment, community income level, and degree of urbanization. Six hundred strata determined the initial sample of 1,200 schools; later, a random sample of 18 seniors per high school was selected. This report considers the effects of stratification, oversampling of schools by percentage of minority group enrollment and community income level, clustering of students within a school and unequal weighting on the variances of the resulting statistics and therefore, on the precision of the sample statistics. Results suggest that school stratification variables reduced the variances of national estimates to twenty percent below what would have been expected with unstratified cluster sampling. Of the five major stratification variables: socioeconomic status, size of school, type of control, geographic region, and proximity to college or university; region is the strongest variable and type of control is the weakest.

Placing emphasis on what individuals can do to avoid or mitigate the personal effects of the baby boom's undesirable and overwhelming influence on the labor market, the author encourages realistic and strategic career planning and mandates for new guidance techniques, while he discourages a liberal arts education and unrealistic expectations by both parents and students.

Attrition is defined as withdrawal from college without completing a degree. After 2 years, the four-year institutions had lost 23.5 percent of their entrants. More two-year college students, 39.3 percent, withdrew without completing a degree. Private schools and schools with higher than average admissions test scores had lower attrition rates. The majority of students who left college did so for nonacademic reasons; those who worked full time withdrew at nearly double the rate of those with a part-time job or no job at all. Black and Hispanic students withdrew somewhat more frequently than white students, but in 4-year institutions there were no differences in attrition when adjustments were made for socioeconomic background.

Fast Response Survey System Report No. 3. AN - 63824882; ED146875 AB - The survey, conducted by a private research firm under contract to the National Center for Education Statistics, had as its purpose to provide national data about the use of part-time financial aid staff and counselors in higher education institutions. It was found that the use of part-time staff was widespread, occurring in 79 percent of undergraduate institutions (for about 10,000 part-time employees); however, only one of every three institutions used part-time counselors. These institutions used students hired under the College Work-Study Program (CWSP) more than they used other students or nonstudents as part-time employees. Four-year colleges and universities are more likely than two-year colleges to use part-time personnel. Almost half of the institutions planned to introduce or expand the use of part-time counselors, with the major increase planned for CWSP students. If current practices and plans are carried out, 60 percent of the institutions will be using part-time counselors. Part-time counselors' services were generally rated by their employers as adequate or very good, with nonstudents rated somewhat higher than students. The cost for salaries for nonstudents was reported as the greatest deterrent to their increased use; the greatest deterrent to the use of students was high turnover.

National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972. AN - 63755441; ED168396 AB - Some findings about attrition from two- and four-year colleges and universities are presented based on NCES's National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972. Attrition is generally defined as withdrawal from college without completing a degree; in this report, students who had attended courses in the first two years after high school but did not attend in fall 1974 are defined as withdrawn unless they had completed a two-year program. It is shown that after two years, the four-year institutions lost 23.5 percent of their entrants, which is a lower rate than most earlier studies reported, with estimates ranging from 21 to 46 percent. (However, the figures are not strictly comparable, since other studies usually measure attrition four years after entering college.) Among two-year college students, 39.3 percent withdrew without completing a degree, so two-year colleges clearly lost more students than four-year institutions did. Private schools and schools with higher than average test scores for entering students had lower attrition rates. The majority of students who worked full-time withdrew at nearly double the rate of those with a part-time job or no job at all.

Section I reports that the number of degrees awarded increased substantially at every level (bachelor's, master's, doctor's, and first-professional). Section II focuses on the number and proportions of men and women at each degree level and shows increased representation by women. Tables in Section III emphasize the number of degrees awarded by control and level of institution, indicating a decreasing proportion of degrees awarded by private institutions. Section IV analyzes the pattern of degrees awarded, by discipline division and by level for the five-year period 1970-71 through 1974-75. Discipline divisions that experienced the largest changes in numbers of degrees awarded are further analyzed in terms of specialties. At the bachelor's level, changes in numbers of degrees awarded in selected specialties (and thus changes in manpower supply) are compared with the projected labor demand for workers in these areas, using information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The inventory provides a benchmark for facilities against which current conditions may be tested by persons in various organizations (e.g., institutional, state, regional, and national). The study is built on an actual inventory of space, based on a classification system codified in the "Facilities Inventory and Classification Manual, 1973." By employing a standard set of definitions and format for data collection, individual institutions may meaningfully compare themselves with other institutions. In addition to statistical tables, the report contains a guide to use of data and a summary of findings. The summary concerns trends, building characteristics, room-use, average square feet per full-time-equivalent student, program category, and housing. A sample survey questionnaire is appended.

AN - 61808648; ED155222 AB - The National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972 (NLS) is periodically surveying a large national sample to chart their educational, vocational, and personal development and to relate this information to earlier experiences, plans, and personal characteristics. This report describes the class in terms of the short-term post secondary education plans they had while in high school, the fulfillment of those plans the following fall (October 1972), and the extent to which those who began a post secondary education in October 1972 were continuing this education one year later. Sixty percent of the class planned to attend a post secondary education institution; 53 percent actually attended a college or school in October 1972; and one year later the figure was 46 percent. Of the seniors not planning to attend school, very few actually attended a post secondary institution the following fall. Four-year college continuance rates were very high, but continuance rates for those attending two-year colleges or vocational-technical schools were lower. Very few respondents made transitions from a non-post secondary education activity to post secondary education between October 1972 and October 1973. In October 1972, 40 percent had jobs while attending post secondary institutions. The data are presented according to six variables: high school curriculum, academic ability, socioeconomic status, race or ethnic group, sex and geographic region.

After presenting a brief summary of the background, the introduction describes the purpose of the citizenship assessment kit, which was to measure student achievement in citizenship and social studies. Chapter two reviews requirements for replicating the NAEP assessment model so that valid data comparisons can be made. The third chapter explains how to read the NAEP survey results, the exact meanings of the column headings in the tables, and the possible percentage of error. The final chapter suggests an approach for studying and analyzing assessment scores. The appendix consists of four question-by-question tables, showing the percent correct and standard errors for all 13-year-olds, all 17-year-olds, 13-year-olds in the eighth grade, and 17-year-olds in the eleventh grade. The students are further differentiated according to geographic region, sex, race (black or white), level of parental education, and size and type of community. This supplement contains no summary level results since they can be found in ED 135 705. (CK) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Exercise Level).

The Measure of Poverty, Technical Paper XIII. AN - 63918622; ED141432 AB - This paper examines some of the implications, including geographic and residential considerations, of adopting a relative poverty defintion which would fix the poverty threshold at some proportion of median income. The major virtues of such a definition are that it is explicitly relative and it is easy to understand and construct. The major flaw is that, in the absence of a major shift in the income distribution, the proportion of persons in poverty would remain constant over time. The evidence in this paper indicates that such a poverty measure would have the effect of identifying as poor a nearly fixed proportion of the population. In the absence of significant shifts in the income distribution, the proportion of the population in poverty would not be lowered by a growth in the average level of real income. Using a definition based on median income would also allow the possibility of introducing inter-area differentials through the use of sub-national medians. However, even though the application of a single national poverty standard causes some inequities, the data suggests that the adoption of a poverty standard based on sub-national medians would create its own inequities. The only realistic way of introducing inter-area differentials into a poverty definition is to develop a survey which will produce acceptable data on inter-area differences in living costs.

The Measure of Poverty, Technical Paper X. AN - 63919023; ED141430 AB - This technical report describes the impact that a definition of poverty based on the household unit, instead of on the currently used family unit, would have on the status of unrelated individuals and on the status of those family members who live in a household in which unrelated individuals are present. This information is based on a special tabulation of the March 1975 Current Population file which shows the poverty status of unrelated individuals based on (1) the current official definition of poverty, and (2) a definition of poverty in which a household concept was used in place of the family concept. For those unrelated individuals who live with a family, the tabulations also show the official poverty status of the family. It is shown that the change to a household-based concept would not affect the poverty status of persons who live alone or persons who live only with relatives, but it would affect the poverty count among unrelated individuals who do not live alone and among family members who live in a residence in which unrelated individuals are present. A definite statement on the relative merits of the household over the familial concept cannot yet be made. The issue depends upon the economic relationship between or among household members. The addition of questions to the Current Population Survey which would allow tabulation of data for non-familial spending units is a possible solution. The spending unit concept is subject to some ambiguity, however, because persons may share some basic expenses and not others. In the absence of spending unit information, it would be useful to periodically publish poverty counts based on the household concept.

The Measure of Poverty, Technical Paper XII. AN - 63922367; ED141431 AB - The federal government uses various guidelines for identifying the poor for eligibility in public assistance programs and for measuring the economic well being of the population. In 1974, the United States Department of Agriculture revised its existing low-cost, moderate-cost, and liberal food plans and in 1975 replaced the economy food plan with the thrifty plan. These plans incorporated the recommended dieterary allowances set in 1974 and food consumptions patterns from the 1965-66 Survey of Household Food Consumption, the most recent such survey. This technical report consists of five papers which cover in detail what the food plans are, how they were developed, and how they have been revised. They include: (1) a description of the United States Department of Agriculture Family Food Plans for 1974; (2) a description of the Thirfty Food Plan, which replaced the economy plan in 1975 as the least costly of the food plans; (3) a discussion of the effect of household size on the cost of diets that are nutritionally equivalent, including a description of the economy of scale factors which are used in estimating the cost of food at home for families of different sizes; (4) issues and answers about the Thrifty Food Plan; and (5) a description of food plans, comparable to the Thrifty Plan and the low-cost plan, developed using nutritional criteria that differed from those used for the United States Department of Agriculture plans.

The first chapter presents an overview of survey results. Findings indicate that 13- and 17-year-olds express similar social and political attitudes, have a high degree of respect for human rights, and favor political participation. The second chapter defines the variables and describes the conventions used to report the data. Social attitudinal trends, including opposition to discrimination, support for equal-housing opportunities and racial trust, are described in chapter three. An assessment of political attitudes is included in chapter four. Knowledge of criminal rights, court role, constitutional rights, presidential power, government functions, political parties, the United Nations, and methods of changing laws is measured in chapter five. The final chapter discusses political education in the schools. Findings indicate that course work in civics is an important factor in student performance and interest.

AN - 63903766; ED130312 AB - Three expressive writing tasks from the 1974 national assessment of writing are summarized and discussed in this report. Results indicated that for a majority of students, first-draft expressive writing is unstructured and lacking in coherence. The tendency to integrate feelings and to organize them in coherent expressions develops between the ages of 9 and 13, with some further development between 13 and 17. The proportions of good, expressive papers written by females, by students whose parents have post-high school education, and by students from relatively affluent communities are greater than the proportions for males, blacks, children of the poorly educated, and children who live in relatively impoverished areas. The capacity to enter into an imaginary situation with a controlled and consistent point of view grows steadily with age, though even at age 17 almost half the students are unable to do this competently. Sample papers and a copy of the revised National Assessment of Educational Progress writing objectives are also included in this report.

The Measure of Poverty, Technical Paper V. AN - 63920644; ED141426 AB - This paper provides a general description of the Consumer Price Index, giving special attention to the applicability and reliability of this survey data for revising or refining the current poverty measure. The Consumer Price Index (CPI), published monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is a statistical measure of the average change in prices of goods and services purchased by urban wage and clerical workers. The first section of this technical paper describes the construction of the current index, which is based on revisions introduced in January of 1964. A description of another set of revisions implemented in the Spring of 1977 is reviewed in the second section. The empirical evidence relating to the sensitivity of a price index to the expenditure patterns of groups of consumers other than urban wage and clerical workers, in particular low income consumers, is reviewed in the next section. The final section of this paper considers the advantages and disadvantages of developing a price index specifically targeted to the poor. The conclusion reached is that at this point the high cost of the construction of a price index for the poor outweighs its apparent usefulness, and a recommendation for a price index for the poor cannot be made.

The Measure of Poverty, Technical Paper XV. AN - 63920667; ED141433 AB - In this report, all readily available federal consumption data (as of July 1975) are analyzed for differences in the costs of consuming food, clothing, housing and other expenditures using several residential definitions. There were two specific objectives to this study: (1) to analyze the data on the cost of these items for differences among various residential classifications for the U.S., and (2) to determine to what extent the analysis of available information could support differentials in the pvoerty definition based on residence. Two approaches were used in this analysis. The first involved exploring available data from a variety of sources to obtain insights into variations in the living cost. This survey approach concentrated on data made available since the 1960-61 Consumer Expenditure Survey, the most recent readily available nationwide source on expenditure patterns. The second approach explored the possibility of obtaining variations in family living costs by residence using a budgeting technique. It is concluded that there appears to be no strong basis upon which to make a decision concerning residential differentials in a poverty threshold using available consumption data. Although differences in food and housing costs were apparent among various residential classifications, it would be difficult to develop simple residential differentials that would be equitable. The interaction between these two items and other components of the family budget is also unclear. Any decision on cost-of-living differentials would still be arbitrary without better data as a basis for judgment.

The Measure of Poverty, Technical Paper VII. AN - 63917978; ED141427 AB - This technical paper summarizes what is known about the receipt of in-kind income; that is, benefits that take a non-cash form. These benefits may be provided by the government (food stamps, Medicare, etc.), or the private sector (health insurance, free housing, etc.). The problem addressed in the paper is the development of a theoretically acceptable, yet empirically implementable, methodology for converting in-kind income into its equivalent cash income from the perspective of the direct recipient. The conversion depends on the preferences of individual recipients and on the precise parameters of the in-kind subsidy. The paper focuses on four types of in-kind benefits (food stamps, public housing, Medicaid, and Medicare) since data on other types of in-kind benefits are sparse. For these four types, impacts across families and across states are sizeable. The paper also discusses how to value the increase in income from in-kind subsidies and it shows how individual recipients may be affected differently by the receipt of in-kind income. Some of the findings include the following: (1) in-kind income makes many persons and families better off, though they may not be better off to the full extent of the provider outlays on the in-kind goods; (2) in order for in-kind income to be treated consistently with cash income the provider cost of in-kind subsidies must be reduced to its cash equivalent value to recipient families; (3) empirical findings show the cash equivalent value of various in-kind subsidies to be significantly below government cost, and (4) the average cash equivalent values will vary sharply across families by income level, family size, and other demographic characteristics.

The Measure of Poverty, Technical Paper VI. AN - 63920625; ED141435 AB - This technical paper examines how different poverty standards can change the statistical description of the low income population. It supplements a chapter in a report submitted to the U.S. Congress in 1976 titled, "The Measure of Poverty". The poverty measure currently used in Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (the Census Bureau definition of poverty) and alternative poverty definitions which were selected for analysis by the Poverty Studies Task Force are described in this paper. The characteristics of the poverty population in 1974 under the current federal definition and under the various alternative poverty defintions are presented based on data from the March 1975 Current Population Survey. In addition, changes over time in the size and composition of poverty populations such as the elderly, female headed families, school aged children, and blacks under the alternative measures are analyzed. A discussion of the impact of the alternative definitions on the geographic distribution of the poor based on the One Percent Sample of the 1970 Census of Population is also included. The effect of the alternative poverty definitions on the number and characteristics of the poor varies the most with two basic changes in the poverty definition: first, large increments in the level of thresholds, and second, elimination of the variations by family size. The subgroups that deviated most from the general pattern noted for the total population of declining poverty rates under the fixed measures and fairly constant poverty rates under the relative measures between 1967 and 1974 were the elderly and persons in families with a female head.

The document is designed to be used by over 1,600 district and school personnel who have the responsibility for conducting assessments using the National Assessment of Educational Progress guidelines (NAEP). It provides information on the assessment process, performing assessment tasks, and analyzing assessment results. Topics discussed in the 12 chapters include looking at requirements for replicating the NAEP survey; setting an assessment schedule; selecting students to be assessed; performing preassessment tasks, assessment tasks, and postassessment tasks; scoring assessment booklets; and analyzing results and comparing them with NAEP data. Teachers are instructed to follow manual directions closely so that differences between individual students and the national sample will be the result of "real" causes rather than inconsistent assessment procedures. Five appendices include a discussion on survey sampling; scoring guides; listing of assessment questions, answers, themes, and objectives; citizenship objectives; and definitions of National Assessment reporting groups.

AN - 63911511; ED128785 AB - Results from the first and second rounds of the reading assessment conducted by the National Assessment of Educational Progress are discussed and compared, with conclusions based on comments by a panel of six reading specialists. Changes in reading ability between the 1970-1971 and 1974-1975 school years are dependent on the age of the pupils and the type of reading required. For nine-year-olds, improvement was recorded in all reading skills, but was most noteworthy in reference skills. Black nine-year-olds improved even more dramatically than did nine-year-olds as a whole, which the panel suggested might be attributed to successful intervention programs in the primary grades. Reading ability at ages 13 and 17 changed little. Both ages improved slightly in literal comprehension but declined in inferential comprehension. Students of all ages demonstrated little difficulty in comprehending literal, straight-forward written material, but comprehension dropped off quickly as soon as the tasks became more difficult. Girls read better than did boys, at all age levels. (Author/AA) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Change) (Selective).

The Measure of Poverty, Technical Paper XVII. AN - 63922124; ED141434 AB - This study is a two-part analysis aimed at determining what differences occur in the incidence of poverty when different definitions of income are employed and when the time frame of analysis is changed. The first part of the analysis concentrates on school-aged children, while the second part studies families. The study is based on data from the Survey Research Center's Panel Study of Income Dynamics, for the years 1968-1972. For the analyses of school-aged children, all children in the panel between the ages of 5 and 18 in the spring of 1972 were counted, resulting in a sample of 5,834 children. For the family analysis those families in 1972 which included a male head from 1968, a female head from 1968, or the wife of a male head in 1968 were counted, resulting in a sample size of 4,010 families. In general, adjustments to annual family money income to account for certain costs of receiving income, and for certain non-money components of income, result in little change in the rank ordering in economic status of familes and children. The results also show that the incidence of poverty is higher for children than for families, by all measures. Although adjustments to annual money income can change a family's economic position, especially in moving it out of the poverty classification, the time period covered appears to be a more influential factor. A crude assessment of the effects of changing the measure of poverty on the relative number counted as poor in different sub-national areas was attempted. The results are inconclusive. Various policy implications stemming from the results of this study are given. (Author/AM) AU - Coe, Richard D.

These are: (1) the official statistical poverty definition, (2) program eligibility guidelines of the Community Services Administration, (3) public assistance or independent eligibility in other welfare program guidelines, and (4) general types of poverty guidelines such as (a) a single dollar amount for all families, (b) higher percentages of the official Federal or Community Services Administration poverty lines, (c) percentage of median income, and (d) unspecified eligibility critera. It is noted that some programs use more than one type of definition of poverty. The remainder of the paper is organized by department or agency and describes, for each, the major poverty-related programs and their administrative guidelines and legislative usages. This paper does not list all programs which significantly benefit the poor, but only those that make use of poverty terminology.

The skills assessed are basic to many employment situations; knowledge about jobs involves both knowledge about facts common to many jobs and knowledge about specific jobs. Skill assessment covers the areas of computation and measurement, graphic and reference-materials, written-communication, and manual and perception. In addition to collecting data on national performance levels, the NAEP analyzes results from various groups within the national population. Chapters 1 and 2 present major findings, and definitions and methodology used in reporting the data. Chapers 3 through 8 provide exemplary exercises and a summary of results for the skills areas and job knowledge assessed. Chapter 9 describes results for variables which were conclusive or similar for the total population. Explanatory tables (24) and figures (32) are provided throughout the document.

The Measure of Poverty, Technical Paper III. AN - 63920141; ED141424 AB - This study reviews the existing literature on a series of issues associated with the defintion and measurement of poverty, and it consists of a summary report covering this research (Volume I), and an annotated bibliography (Volume II). Eleven specific issues were identified and reviewed in this study: (1) the historical definitions of poverty, (2) the use of index numbers in the measurement of poverty, (3) family size and composition adjustments on measures of poverty, (4) geographical variation in public service provision by type of service, (5) regional income differences, (6) wealth and assets and consumption as measures of poverty, (7) poverty standards and the consumption of leisure, (8) determinants of the turn-over rates of poor families, (9) social and economic proxies for poverty, (10) social indicators of poverty, and (11) state administrative definitions of poverty. In developing the annotated bibliography and summary report, an exhaustive literature search was conducted. The literature is primarily drawn from the disciplines of economics, sociology, and political science. Unpublished working papers and doctoral dissertations from several major universities were also reviewed, as well as a number of relevant government documents. The literature review showed that poverty definitions currently used by states in administering their poverty programs is inadequate, since very litte research has been done in this area.

AN - 83252649; 14997596 AB - The ability of UV-irradiated herpes simplex virus to form plaques was examined in monolayers of CV-1 monkey kidney cells preexposed to UV radiation at different intervals before virus assay. From analysis of UV reactivation (Weigle reactivation) curves it was found that as the interval between cell UV irradiation (0-20 J/m2) and initiation of the virus assay was increased over a period of five days, (1) the capacity of the cells to support unirradiated virus plaque formation, which was decreased immediately following UV exposure to the monolayers, increased and returned to approximately normal levels within five days, and (2) at five days an exponential increase was observed in the relative plaque formation of irradiated virus as a function of UV fluence to the monolayers. For high UV fluence (20 J/m2) to the cells, the relative plaque formation by the UV-irradiated virus at five days was about 10-fold higher than that obtained from assay on unirradiated cells. This enhancement in plaque formation is interpreted as a delayed expression of Weigle reactivation. The amount of enhancement resulting from this delayed reactivation was several fold greater than that produced by the Weigle reactivation which occurred when irradiated herpes virus was assayed immediately following cell irradiation.

The first three papers describe case studies of substantial efforts in inservice education: a thirty-year child study movement devoted to the proposition that there are enormous individual differences among children which can be fully appreciated only in the context of each child's total personality; the Urban/Rural Program efforts to generate community-oriented inservice teacher training programs; and the attempt of Montgomery County, Maryland, public schools to mount a comprehensive teacher education program that would represent the needs both of the district and of individual teachers. Two papers address the future: a description of alternative conceptions and definitions of inservice teacher education and suggested languages which would permit us to talk coherently with one another using a wide variety of concepts; and a speculation on the meaning of general cultural change. Three papers explore multicultural education. (JMF) AU - Brandt, Richard M.

James Boyer presents a model that can be used to sort out the varieties of inservice teacher education and its governance focusing on the need for multicultural education. Kenneth R. Howey presents an analysis of a teacher center developed by the Minneapolis Public Schools and the University of Minnesota to prepare teachers to operate in open classrooms. A group of papers deals with three aspects of social change which are becoming increasingly important to the creation of inservice teacher education programs: job sharing, current and pending legislation; and the problems generated by the extension of the school downward to include younger children. Papers representing the views of the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association regarding inservice teacher education are also presented. (JMF) AU - Yarger, Sam J.

AN - 63979867; ED127009 AB - Emphasizing the competition developing for HEW funds, this speech discusses the future role of federally funded programs to meet the needs of children. Reference is made to the conservative vs. liberal debate over the role of government in providing family services. For child advocates, it is proposed that the most critical part of the controversy centers on the question of the effectiveness of human services programs and particularly child services programs. Agencies must convince Congress and the general American public that their programs are having a positive effect. The social and political impotence of children is considered, as is the question of who should dominate childrearing practices: the family or the government. The importance of parent and community involvement in decision-making is stressed, and the development of different programs for the needs of different communities is recommended. The importance of working for a particular community and gaining its support is seen as the way of achieving an effectiveness that is recognizable by both those providing funds and those being served.

It Deals with measuring the current status of the poor rather than with the causes or solutions to poverty. The current measure of poverty used is the Orshansky poverty definition; but in addition, other measures used include dollar cut-offs unadjusted for family size, various percentiles of the income distribution, and various percentages of median family income. The study examines regional, climatic, metropolitan, urban, suburban, and rural differences in the poverty measure; the differences due to family size and head of household; and the availability of state and other subnational data more currect than the decennial census, including cost of living, cost of housing, labor market and job availability. Among some of the major discussion areas addressed by the report are the limitations in the official measure of poverty, various proposals to change the official poverty measure, and standards of poverty for the working poor compared with those dependent largely on public programs for support.

AN - 63908176; ED129839 AB - The first National Assessment of Music, conducted in 1971-72, measured the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of 9 year olds, 13 year olds, 17 year olds, and young adults, resulting in estimates of proportions of people in the population who have certain attitudes toward music, knowledge about music terminology, notaion and history, and musical performance skills. For the assessment of performance skills, new types of exercises and administration procedures were designed, and scoring criteria for the variety of performance tasks were developed. Standard instructions were given at all levels, and responses were recorded so they could be evaluated and scored later by trained music educators. The scorers counted errors in completeness, pitch, and rhythm, and the summary of these was the score for overall quality. In each category, the error rate determined whether a performance was "markedly deficient" or not. This development of methodologies for constructing items and scoring criteria for measuring musical performance skills across a wide range of abilities in the population was a pioneer effect.

Test score means and standard deviations and weighted percentage distributions of answers to Student Questionnaire items are presented for the total population and each of 11 subgroups defined by the three classificatory variables. The subgroups formed in this report are consistent with those that will be utilized in summarizing data obtained from NLS followup surveys. The tables provided in computer-printout form are intended to make basic information available to educational policymakers and researchers without the delay encountered during preparation of conventional statistical analyses andnormal publication refinements. These basic tables form part of the statistical data base of NLS. With those produced earlier, they present all the data the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) plans to publish on the Base-Year Survey as such. The data, however, will be utilized along with followup survey data in preparing a set of analytical reports based on longitudinal analyses of the NLS data base. (RC) AU - Fetters, William B.

AN - 63970787; ED127240 AB - This study discusses the National Assessment of Educational Progress's national survey of educational achievement in art and demonstrates that it is feasible to evaluate children's drawings obtained with free response assessment techniques. Four art production exercises, each calling for pencil drawing responses, were administered during 1974-1975 to a sampling of 9-, 13-, and 17-year-olds. Four scoring systems were developed. To be considered valid each dimension within a scoring system had to be made mutually exclusive and constant across age groups, cover the variety of responses generated by different ages, and be sufficiently replicable to be useful for assessing changes in performance. Persons of high academic ability who had previous experience in judging and codifying written test responses were selected as scorers. None of them had any art training. Two additional persons with advance training in art were selected to train the scorers. Results show that the four scoring systems met the conditions necessary for their adequacy. Careful attention to scoring system exercise development and scorer selection and training makes it possible to test art achievement. The study includes one sample exercise and a scoring guide. Appendices include scored sample responses. (Author/RM) Primary type of information provided by report: Procedures (Scoring); Results (Respondent Examples). AU - Knight, Sarah S.

The Measure of Poverty, Technical Paper VIII. AN - 63922026; ED141428 AB - This technical paper describes the latest consumer expenditure survey for the period of 1972 to 1974. The survey is a comprehensive source of detailed information on the expenditure patterns and savings behavior of American consumers in relation to their income and other characteristics. The first part of the paper describes the most recent survey, its sample design, questionnaire content, and general limitations. Section 2 reviews the major uses of data provided by the survey. The discussion focuses on the survey's usefulness for deriving measures of poverty, indicating both strengths and weaknesses. The basic conclusion is that, while the data collected in the survey are ideal in most respects for construction of alternative poverty measures, for both needs and income the sample size is not large enough to support meaningful analysis of breakdowns cross-classified by income, family size, geographic location, and Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas of residence. Section 3 discusses the preliminary results of the survey in terms of changes in basic spending patterns for food that have occurred since the last survey.

(Information for this report, developed in the Adult and Vocational Education Surveys Branch of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), came from the May 1972 Current Population Survey (CPS) conducted by the Bureau of the Census. The first survey in the series was conducted in 1957 and defined participants as non-full-time students 14 years old or older, instead of beginning at age 17 as in the present study.) The four chapters included are titled Survey Background and Procedures, Numbers and Characteristics of Participants and Nonparticipants in Adult Education, Course Programs in Adult Education, and Sponsors of Adult Education. The major portion of this report consists of tables (52) providing socioeconomic items arranged in five general groups: (1) Major demographic characteristics (age, regular school competed, race, and sex), (2) income (total family income), (3) work experience (class of worker, employment-unemployment status, occupation, and men's veteran status), (4) relationships (marital status, relationship to household, and number of children under age 17), and (5) location (geographic region and metropolitan status). A glossary, methodological consideration, selected bibliography, and survey instruments are appended. (SH) AU - Okes, Imogene E.

Also presented are data from comparable test items from the 1971 assessment. Three standards are presented, to allow different methods of evaluating the results of the assessment, which contained exercises selected to represent the types of reading materials encountered frequently in everyday life. The desired performance level was set at 100% of all exercises, the highest level of performance expected was designated, and the minimally adequate performance level was set at successful completion of 75% of the exercises. Highlights of the assessment include three exercises in which the students' performance declined markedly (a passage on Colorado mountains, a report card, and a sign on horsepower) and four exercises in which students improved markedly (two help-wanted ads and two coupons). Three exercises in which performance was consistently low were an insurance policy statement, a book-club application, and a traffic ticket. In 1975, over 87% of the students answered 75% of the items correctly. (MKM) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Technical Summary). AU - Gadway, Charles J. AU - Wilson, H.A.

Data, summarized by state, are presented in tables and charts containing information on the number and dollar value of bond issues voted on and passed, and the number, dollar value, and net interest cost of bonds sold. In 1975 approval of public school bond issues averaged 46.0 percent of the dollar value and 46.3 percent of the number of issues proposed. Although these rates were down from 1974, the $3.6 billion in reported bond sales represented an increase over fiscal year 1974. The 1975 average net interest cost for all bonds was 6.27 percent. A regression analysis showed that the factors significantly affecting net interest cost were the length of term, timing, bond rating, and type of issuer. (Author/IRT) AU - Barr, Richard H.

Chapter I gauges the impact of the year's key economic trends on productivity, wage rates and earnings, and employment and unemployment, including changes in the labor market situation of major demographic, occupational, and industrial groups. Chapter II presents a discussion of the history of the unemployment insurance program, the major problems that beset it during fiscal 1975 as a result of the recession, and some of the major policy issues that have arisen in part because of the unusual strain on the physical and financial capacity of the system in that year. Chapter III examines special attributes of the building trades: Economics of the construction industry, the labor force, wages and benefits, operation of construction labor markets, and equal employment opportunity in construction. Chapter IV reviews in detail the first full year of operations of the Comprehensive Employment Training Act (CETA). Chapter V discusses other national developments including the Work Incentive Program (WIN), the U.S. Employment Service, and apprenticeship programs. Chapter VI, "Two Hundred Years of Work in America", is a review focusing on four topics: The workers , the changing nature of work, earnings from work, and work and security. Also included is the report on veterans services (employment and unemployment, employment and training services, and outlook) and statistical appendixes.

The five tabulations list enrollment data by sex of student, full- or part-time attendance status, and level of study for each of 3055 institutional units, with state subtotals. Total enrollment in institutions of higher education increased by almost a million, to 11,290,719, in fall 1975 from the total reported a year earlier. These data are for students taking work creditable toward bachelor's or higher degrees or toward formal awards below the baccalaureate at institutions in the United States and its outlying areas. As for several years, enrollments in public institutions gained more than in private institutions both in number and rate of increase; in two-year institutions, both public and private, much more than in four-year institutions. Part-time enrollments continued to increase at a faster rate than did full-time enrollments; but after years of slower gains for men than for women, in fall 1975 the enrollment of men almost matched the rate of gain for women, lacking only a very small fraction of a percent.

AN - 63821010; ED146805 AB - This report summarizes the language background information and certain demographic characteristics of language minorities in the United States. The data were derived from the Survey of Languages, a pilot study of the non-English-language background population aged four and older sponsored by the National Center for Education Statistics as part of the July 1975 Current Population Survey of the Bureau of the Census. Thirteen percent of the population of the U.S. aged 4 and older in July 1975 lived in households in which languages other than English are spoken. There are over 25 million persons in these households. Spanish speakers constitute more than two-fifths of all speakers of other languages. Excluding speakers of Spanish, speakers of other languages are estimated to be 10 million: 1.8 million speak Italian, 1.5 million speak French, and another 1.4 million speak German. Speakers of Chinese, Greek, Japanese, Filipino languages, Portuguese, and Korean number between 100,000 and half a million each. There are 1.6 million persons in the U.S. aged 4 and older who do not speak English, three quarters of whom are adults. Fewer than half of the individuals who usually speak Spanish and French are foreign born, in contrast with speakers of other languages.

Preliminary Analysis of Trends in College Student Migration. AN - 63754856; ED167038 AB - Data and a brief analysis of migration of college students are presented. Information is presented on: enrollment by control of institution and "origin" of student for 1958, 1963, 1968, and 1975; net migration of college students and percent of student residents remaining in home state institutions for these four years; residence and migration of all students in fall 1975 for all institutions, all publicly controlled institutions, and all privately controlled institutions; and residence and migration of first-time undergraduate students for all institutions for fall 1975. Data are also presented by type of school, level of institution, and level of enrollment for fall 1975, and data allow examination of state outmigration, inmigration, and net migration. Tables include the ratios of students remaining to students enrolled and to student residents. A greater percentage of students were enrolled in colleges in their home state than in previous years, but care must be taken in interpreting this finding since legal residence requirements have changed since the 1968 survey. Public institutions had a larger percentage of students who remained in the same state than did private institutions. Community colleges and other 2-year institutions enrolled a larger percentage of their students from within the state than did 4-year colleges and universities. Comparative data for males and females and data on foreign students are included. (SW) AU - Petersen, Richard J. AU - Smith, Carolyn R.

Exhibits include comparison of age for the learning area, of each of the National Assessment's reporting groups with the national level of performance, of the various groups within an age, and of performance on subsets of social studies exercises. The reporting population and subpopulations are categorized according to age, region of the country, sex, race, level of parental education, and type of community. For most of the exhibits, the exercises are divided into the three broad themes of skills, knowledges, and attitudes. Chapters present summary comparison data for exercises related to (1) the skills of obtaining and interpreting information; (2) the knowledge areas of economics, geography, history, and political science; and (3) attitudes about First Amendment rights. Summary comparison data are provided for the overlap exercises of the three basic themes--skills, knowledge, and attitudes.

The mathematics assessment included six major content areas: numbers and numeration, measurement, geometry, variables and relationships, probability and statistics, and consumer mathematics. Each chapter summarizes results for one content area and indicates trends in ability illustrated by results for selected exercises. Concepts from all content areas are usually introduced at the elementary level and are then reinforced and expanded at higher age levels. In addition to age levels, the assessment also provides results for the following groups within the national population: sex, race, region of the country, level of parental education, and size and type of community. Results for the different population groups are not given for each content area but are discussed in the data summary from all content areas.

Richard Lloyd-Jones of the University of Iowa (Iowa City) and Ross Winterowd of the University of Southern California (Los Angeles) offered the following observations about the writing assessment results: there is no evidence that the schools must "go back to basics" because the basics seem well in hand; language is always changing, but new ways of writing may not be worse in any defensible sense; writing is inextricably tied to reading; "Edited Standard English" as taught in most schools is one dialect of English; there are fewer rewards for being a good writer; and increasing class size results in fewer writing assignments.

The intended audience is researchers who need detailed information about the exercises and state and local educators who want to use the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) exercises in their own assessment programs. The document includes a copy of the exercise, complete documentation about administration and scoring procedures, and the national percentage results. The exercises are classified according to the three broad areas of attitudes, knowledges, and skills. They are either multiple choice, short answer (one or two words up to several sentences), or longer answers (paragraph or more). In the 1971-72 assessment of social studies, 9-year-olds, 13-year-olds, 17-year-olds and young adults aged 26-35 were asked a variety of questions designed to measure achievement of five broad educational objectives in social studies. These objectives are (1) that Americans should have curiosity about human affairs; (2) that they should use analytic-scientific procedures effectively; (3) that they should be sensitive to creative-intuitive methods of explaining the human condition; (4) that they should have knowledge relevant to the major ideas and concerns of social scientists; and (5) that they should have a reasoned commitment to the values that sustain a free society.

AN - 63979693; ED113526 AB - The bulletin presents data taken in the fall of 1973 for the National Center for Educational Statistics' National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972. The study surveyed approximately 22,000 high school seniors in 1,200 schools in the spring of 1972. Sixty-two percent of vocational-technical, 24 percent of general education, and 12 percent of academic students indicated that they had received specialized training intended to prepare them for immediate employment upon graduation. Of those who had looked for work in areas where they could use their specialized training, about 80 percent of the vocational-technical and academic students and 77 percent of the general students found jobs. Approximately 87 percent of vocational-technical and 80 percent of academic and general students who worked in training related jobs expressed satisfaction with their training. Although a generally high rate of approval was found, especially among business and office occupations students, two aspects of specialized training were criticized fairly often. First, many persons, especially health and home economics students, did not find their high school training useful in their on-the-job training programs. Second, many persons, especially agricultural and trade and industrial students, would have liked more experience in their training area before starting to work.

AN - 63985615; ED111693 AB - The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is an information-gathering project that surveys the educational attainments of 9-year-olds, 13-year-olds, 17-year-olds, and adults (ages 26-35) in various learning areas. All areas are assessed by a group of educators who design objectives for each area and create measurement tools appropriate to the objectives. When the exercises prepared by the test developers have passed extensive reviews by subject-matter specialists and measurement experts, they are administered to probability samples of various populations. Approximately 100,000 persons participate annually in these exercises. This report includes information on the ability of American youth to utilize the inquiry skills stressed in the new science curricula. The students participated in eight individualized activities which included the use of scientific apparatus to conduct testing procedures and simple experiments, the application of knowledge to the observation of materials in order to make generalizations, and the demonstration of principles by using models. Descriptions are given of the eight activities which were designed for students of ages 9, 13, and 17, and specifications are included for the sample populations which took part in the study. The results of the assessment are reported for each activity and include a breakdown according to geographical region, sex, color, parental education, and size and type of community.

These concepts are viewed as embedded in the social context of welfare department attempts to influence welfare mothers to use family planning and the related criticisms which welfare rights protagonists have recently voiced. Structured interviews with 58 welfare workqrs and 300 welfare mothers in one metropolitan Tennessee county reveal that heterophily characterizes these two groups in social and demographic characteristics, birth control attitudes, family size norms, and abortion attitudes. It is further suggested that this heterophily may partially account for welfare workers' limited conformity to the change agent role in family planning counseling with their clients. A number of innovative solutions are proposed to deal constructively with public welfare problems in family planning, some of which have shown promise in other health programs here and a broad.

The nationwide assessment was conducted during the 1972-73 school year by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Respondents at four age levels were included: 9-year-olds, 13-year-olds, 17-year-olds, and young adults ages 26-35. The items on consumer mathematics skills were administered to individuals (probability samples) chosen in such a way that results could be generalized to an entire national population. The first chapter of the report describes results for problems involving money, using such skills as averaging and calculating percent and proportion. Chapter 2 discusses results of household problems involving estimating unit prices and converting units of measure. Chapter 3 examines the ability to read and interpret graphs. Chapter 4 deals with skill in computation of averages and percents. Chapter 5 summarizes the results. Data are reported for various groups within the national population.

For each age population, group data was calculated and reported by region, sex, color, parents' educational level, and size and type of community. The application of singular value decomposition of nonsquare matrices to this data is described and its relationship to principal components analysis and its data reduction value is explained. Exploratory analyses are being conducted to determine if the same bases occur across age levels, across time from one assessment to its reassessment, and across subject areas. Emphasis will remain on trying to relate the characteristics of exercises to major differences in performance through the use of orthogonal components.

The first paper concerned the development of an evaluation plan for the alternative American Studies program in the eighth through twelfth grades of the Shawnee Mission, Kansas, school district, during the 1973-74 school year. This plan called for three output measures: (1) a factual achievement test, (2) a study of habits and attitudes, and (3) a student opinion grid. The SSHA Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes was chosen for use, along with a teacher-developed Student Opinion Grid. Later, National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) items were designated for the core of neutral items in the factual survey; this American Studies Factual Knowledge Survey is appended. The second paper explained the use of the NAEP exercises, which are administered on a national basis to young people and adults, for classroom, teacher and individual student evaluation.

AN - 64033101; ED106399 AB - How do size of communities and varying socioeconomic levels affect educational success? Is there a relationship between these factors and success in learning? This report is an attempt to look at National Assessment findings over the first four years, beginning in 1969 and ending in 1973. The National Assessment of Educational Progress is an information gathering project which surveys the educational attainments of 9, 13, 17 and 26 to 35-year olds in 10 learning areas. Data were gathered in the learning areas of science, citizenship and writing the first year; reading and literature the second year; social studies and music the third year; mathematics and science for the second time, the fourth year, or 1972-1973. In other words, change data were first reported in science and appeared in print in March 1975. Looking at results for the various sizes and types of communities (STOC groups) National Assessment considers in its reports, some evidence can be found of persistent patterns of educational attainment. The results in the area of reading are most indicative and underlie all other learning areas. Classification into type of community was based on occupation and place of residence, plus information about communities in which the respondents lived or attended school, but not about the individual.

AN - 64053979; ED103951 AB - This paper reports on the results of an analysis of the distribution of Federal aid to education, an analysis also intended to illuminate the conflicts that can result from allocating funds on the basis of different standards. The study classifies districts on three measures--family income, property wealth, and degree of urbanization--and examines the flow of Federal funds to priority districts in each group. Following an introduction, section 2 examines the methodology used in assessing Federal funding allocations. Sections 3-5 examine the district distribution for three of the major Federal funding categories: Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), School Assistance in Federally Affected Areas (SAFA), and State-Discretionary Federal Grants. Section 6 considers the impact of all Federal elementary and secondary school support in the aggregate, including some relatively small programs not included in the three major program areas. The final section discusses some implications of these analyses for Federal policy. An appendix contains printouts for individual States, for regions, and for the nation, displaying the per-pupil expenditure in detail for each Federal program component.

Concrete information is presented in the progress or decline of knowledge in science. It is reported that knowledge of fundamental scientific facts and principles has declined among American students. Data reported are based on an estimate of the percentage of individuals in a given age population who responded acceptably to a given question. To assess the growth or decline in attainment on a given question, the difference between performance in 1969-70 and 1972-73 was obtained. National results by age level are reported. Also presented is how groups of individuals responded to certain exercises. The groups are characterized by age, sex, race, region of the country, level of parental education, and size and type of community. A brief section includes putting the data into perspective.

The statute provides parents of students with access to official records directly related to the students and with an opportunity for a hearing to challenge such records on the grounds that they are inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate. Institutions must obtain the written consent of parents before releasing personally identifiable data about students to other than a specified list of exceptions. Further, parents and students must be notified that these rights exist, that these rights transfer to the students at certain points, and that an office and review board must be established in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare to investigate and adjudicate violations of and complaints about this statute.

AN - 64057003; ED109735 AB - In 1974, approval of public school bond issues, averaging 56.2 percent of the dollar value and 53.0 percent of the number of issues voted on, reflected a decrease of 2.8 percent in dollar value and an increase of 8.3 percent in number of issues over the year before. These changes are the more significant in light of the downward trend of recent years. Since 1968 (when 67.6 percent of proposed bond issues were approved), approvals have declined, falling to lows of 46.7 and 47.0 percent during 1971 and 1972. In 1974 only seven states accounted for approximately $1.3 billion of the $2.2 billion approved value. Although approvals remained down, the $3.0 billion in reported bond sales was an increase of $50 million over the $2.9 billion of fiscal year 1973. The 1974 average net interest cost for all bonds of 5.35 percent was up 44 basis points from the 1973 average of 4.91 percent, indicating an increase in public school borrowing costs. The 6.49 percent monthly average net interest cost recorded for June 1974 was the highest since the 6.68 percent reported for June 1970. The number of bond sales has decreased over the past decade.

Considered are the first four years, beginning in 1969 and ending in 1973. Data were gathered in the learning areas of science, citizenship and writing the first year; reading and literature the second year; social studies and music the third year; mathematics and science, for the second time, the fourth year, or 1972-73. In other words, change data were first reported in science and appeared in print in March 1975. Focusing only on sex differences, the results throughout the four age levels present questions and cause speculation about the educative process, the methods, time allotment and emphasis. Some may conclude that learning opportunities are not equal for both boys and girls in the majority of schools. Some may conclude that interst is lower among boys than girls, or the reverse, in a particular learning area. The experience of the reader will facilitate in interpretation of the findings presented here. (Author/BJG) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Sex).

AN - 63986137; ED115701 AB - In the past years the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has released results from a variety of learning areas. The purpose of this paper is to point out male-female differences in achievement across several learning areas. Hopefully, the results discussed here will be used as a basis for examining the possible existence of social and curriculum biases in these areas. Female and male performance in social sciences, mathematics, and science are nearly equal at age nine, but very different by adulthood. For example, at age nine, both sexes do equally well on numerical operation, geometry, and measurement, while males have a substantial advantage by adulthood. Since females have been found to read and write better than males, skills prerequisite for academic achievement, the superiority of males in social sciences, math, and science needs further explanation. It is hypothesized that females do not excell in political areas because social studies classes make it clear that females have not been actively involved in their countries' political decisions. No explanation is offered for why females are less able than males to answer questions concerning the location of the Great Lakes, the source of government revenues, and the purpose of the European Common Market. It is concluded that as sex barriers are lifted, females will be given the opportunity to reach their full potential. (BJG) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Sex).

The First-Followup Survey of this sample took place in fall 1973. This report describes how these young adults changed during this period of about 1-1/2 years with regard to their view of themselves, sense of control of their achievement, and their orientation toward work, community, and family goals. Statistics are presented for the population as a whole and for persons classified into subgroups based on sex, race-ethnicity, socioeconomic status (SES); academic ability, high school program, and high school location (region). A brief background description of this study and relevant definitions and footnotes are given. The data are shown in both tabular form and graphical form. This bulletin presents estimates of the net amount of change that occured in the aforementioned psychological variables during the 18-month period between surveys. Gross changes, which take into account the fact that net changes result from increases for some individuals and decreases for others, will be described in a later report that will analyze the data in greater depth from a longitudinal point of view.

The Follow Through Program, designed to follow through on the educational gains made by children from low income families in preschool programs such as Head Start, is one of the federal programs for which CPIR collected data for the 1971-72 regular and 1972 summer terms. These data focus on the characteristics of the children who participated, the total staff involved, and all expenditures incurred in the operation of this federal program by local school districts. The 150 agencies sponsoring this program originally contacted in the survey include local education agencies, multi-district agencies, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. A total of $2,293,000 is spent for pre-service and in-service training for 8,300 staff members assigned to Follow Through. The various types of training include orientation sessions, workshops, and college credit courses. Approximately 69,400 children are reported as participating. Nearly all (96 percent) come from public schools. The Follow Through Program provides comprehensive educative services and supporting services. Total expenditures, distributed by type of service or activity are provided in tabular form. Approximately 95 percent (142) of those agencies contacted responded to the survey.

These data focus on the characteristics of the children who participate, the total staff involved, and all expenditures incurred in the operation of federal dropout programs in local school districts. Participants in the 21 projects reviewed include dropouts, potential dropouts, and former dropouts. Almost all of the participants are enrolled in public schools. Participation is 21,200 for the regular school term and 2,050 for summer school. Some participants attend both regular and summer sessions. Of the total $8.1 million expended, an estimated $2.5 million is expended for direct educative services in such areas as English usage arts, culture, and science. Pupil services account for about 21 percent of the total expenditures. This category includes food services, pupil transportation, health services, guidance, counseling, and others. An estimated 31 percent is spent on administration and program development, including general and instructional administration, information dissemination, research and development, planning, evaluation, demonstration, and personnel development. Instructional administration accounts for nearly $1.2 million, and program development for $676,000. Of the total amount expended for program development, $365,000 is spent for inservice and preservice training of staff personnel. (Author/AM) AU - Anderson, Stephen M.

A Review of Research and Commentary as of 1973-74. AN - 63980601; ED111256 AB - This review of the literature was undertaken as background preparatory to the design of a survey program to ascertain the extent of women's nonparticipation in postsecondary education and apparent reasons for it. The proportions of women who participate in degree programs have changed very little in the past 40 years. Institutional barriers are found to be in admissions practices such as sex quotas and age restrictions, financial aid practices, institutional regulations (e.g., credit for nonclassroom learning, housing policies), curriculum planning and student personnel services, and faculty and staffing attitudes. Situational barriers, or social constraints, are seen as those effects of class, ethnic or racial group membership, family attitudes, domestic responsibilities, place of residence, and community attitudes. Psychological factors include the current status of theories regarding the psychology of women, sex differences in intellectual functioning, attitudes of women toward themselves and in relation to others, motivation for achievement, and psychological correlates of socialization practices.

An Assessment of In-School 17-Year-Olds in 1974. Technical Summary. AN - 63978669; ED112350 AB - The functional literacy of various groups of 17-year-old students was assessed to discover whether the reading skills which are usually taught in the schools are adequate for functioning in everyday life. Eighty-six test exercises were classified according to the various formats of reading materials they represent and according to the types of behaviors they elicit. The highest expected level of performance was determined by the achievement level obtained by a group of superior readers on a standardized reading test. All groups performed highest on drawings, pictures, signs, and labels and second highest on charts, maps, and graphs. Most groups performed third highest on passages, fourth highest on forms, and least well on reference materials. Comparison of the results of this test given in 1973-74 with a truncated version given to 17-year-olds in 1970-71 showed all groups gained in functional reading skills. Three exercise parts consisting of questions about an insurance policy statement, a traffic ticket, and an application form were answered well by no group, including the superior readers, which raises the question of further defining functional reading.

AN - 63976130; ED113381 AB - Since 1969, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has gathered census-like information about levels of educational achievement across the country and reported its findings to the nation. Individuals were selected for examination so that the levels of achievement they demonstrated would be representative of the achievement of the entire country. Individuals were selected from four age levels--nine, 13, 17 and 26 through 35--which correspond to four key stages in the education of most individuals: the end of primary school, junior high school, high school and a few years past the end of formal schooling. The individuals were also classified according to region of the country, sex, race, parental education and size and type of community to provide additional information about types of schools and students. Achievement levels of young Americans in seven assessment areas are described in this volume--science, social studies, music, literature, reading, writing, and citizenship. Results of the seven assessments indicate that there are serious disparities in the achievement levels of various groups within the nation. The results indicate the degree of that disparity.

AN - 63972895; ED115156 AB - This publication presents data from the seventh and eighth Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) showing typical or modal charges to students in institutions of higher education for the academic years 1972-73 and 1973-74. Analytic tables provide detail for public and private institutions, with comparison to typical charges to in-state and out-of-state students for tuition and required fees. These tables permit comparisons of undergraduate and graduate tuition and fees by level, control, and enrollment size of institution. Charges for room and charges for board, in public and in private institutions, are shown in separate tables with no differentiation as to students' level of study or residence status. Tables presenting data for individual institutional reporting units and tables and charts on the distribution of basic student charges show the actual charges as they were reported to the National Center for Educational Statistics. All other Tables, presenting summaries by type of institution or by state, utilize weighted averages which were computed on the basis of full-time-equivalent enrollment. The tables are grouped by year and the charges reported are those that were required of the largest proportion of full-time students at the undergraduate and graduate levels for the academic year reported. Not included are costs for books and supplies, athletic and social activities, and off-campus living costs.

Questionnaires were mailed to a sample of 8,489 schools throughout the nation offering course work in any or all of grades 7-12; the schools selected were generally representative by size, type, and location of schools within each state. In addition to examining course organization and curricular practices, the main thrust of the survey was to elicit the titles and number of courses being offered by secondary schools and to determine the number of pupils who availed themselves of these offerings. The main purpose of the report is to provide up-to-date information to the respondent schools and state education agencies, although the historical comparability of the data was also considered. Appendix A provides technical information on how the data were collected and analyzed, and Appendix B contains a reproduction of the 18-page questionnaire that was completed by the respondent schools.

The report deals with science achievement among young Americans over a period of four years. The procedure used by NAEP in assessing educational achievement and the factors involved in the selection of data is explained. A general problem related to change measures used by NAEP is explicated and approaches that might clarify possible factors associated with observed results are explored. Two kinds of data adjustment for science achievement measures are illustrated. One is aimed at removing masquerading and double counting due to disproportionate distributions of sub-populations. The other is aimed at estimating the impact of shifts of these distributions over time and the shifts in masquerading that might change real performance.

It presents detailed descriptions of the methodology and techniques used to derive the profiles and projections, and provides interpretations and evaluations of the adequacy and comparability of existing statistics, with descriptions of the more conspicuous gaps in the current health manpower information system. The health manpower occupations covered are the major health professional categories, including a number of specialities within these categories, and selected groups of allied health professions and occupations. The report was developed to provide a wide range of users of health manpower statistics with a comprehensive reference compendium of basic information on major health occupations. It was prepared in 1972 and 1973 as part of a major manpower study within the Bureau of Health Resources Development. The chapters are divided into two main parts. The first part provides an overview of the concepts, methodology, and assumptions underlying the estimates and projections. It also presents summary highlights of the study in both tabular and narrative form. The second part presents detailed statistical material on the current manpower profile and projected supply in specific health fields. These two parts are followed by appendixes that include detailed projection tables presenting information not shown separately in individual chapters.

The appropriation figures were obtained through a detailed review of all state budget documents and fiscal reports available to the researchers in 1972 and 1973. The source documents included: state executive and legislative budgets, budget analysis reports, and supplemental budgetary issuances. In addition, state university financial statements were reviewed to clarify or validate specific appropriations items. The body of the report presents both a summarization of state patterns of support, and a breakdown of individual state profiles. The state profiles illustrate the broad spectrum and variation in budget formats and line-item listings. However, the differences were brought as far as possible into some degree of uniformity by the format of this report and were referenced accordingly. This report reviews state appropriations, i.e., appropriations from the general fund derived solely from taxes on individuals, corporations, etc. as a source of financial support for health profession education and training. Other broad areas of financial support are: federal government, local government, and private agencies. The private sector covers a broad range, which includes, in addition to grants, loans, scholarships, fellowships, etc., the tuition paid by students enrolled in educational institutions. A glossary of terms is included.

The federal role, as embodied in OHD, is one of developmental assistance to vulnerable groups in society. Specific programmatic initiatives designed to meet youth needs are mentioned. More detailed descriptions of two program areas are given: Project Head Start (programs for handicapped children) and foster care plans now being tested and implemented. OHD's work in implementing the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act is also described. The development of a Youth Services System is planned which will coordinate networks of all youth services, both public and private, in local communities. It is suggested that help is needed from organizations outside the government, specifically to play an advocacy role and to provide stimulus for new ideas on program needs and development.

The panel states that aesthetic sensitivity is the ultimate goal of music education; however, the attitude items in the assessment do not measure sensitivity directly but measure "approach tendencies" which correlate to some degree with sensitivity. Six questions expanded upon in the assessment are: 1) How often do you seek out and listen to music that you like to hear on television, radio, records, or tapes? 2) How often do you attend live musical programs outside of school? 3) Are there any kinds of music that you like to listen to? 4) Do you like to sing? 5) Can you play a musical instrument? 6) What are your reactions to singing and playing an instrument in small and large groups? National statistics pertinent to each question and reactions from the music panel are presented. The same exercises are then analyzed according to region, sex, color, parental education, and community type. Concluding remarks are made by the panel about the usefulness of the data for education decision making. (JH) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Selective). AU - Rivas, Frank W.

National Assessment of Educational Progress Report No. 03-MU-00. AN - 64047895; ED097275 AB - For nine years the National Assessment of Education Progress has attempted to measure behaviors that are assumed to correlate with sensitivity to music and analytic skills typically taught in the classroom. These skills included musical performance, ability to use traditional notation, ability to discriminate and label instruments and voices, ability to recognize important aspects of music history and literature, and the disposition to listen to music and participate in musical activities. Eighty thousand individuals in four age groups were tested. Results indicate that performance, knowledge of notation and terminology, and knowledge of music history and literature rank the lowest. Knowledge of the names and sounds of musical instruments and general attitude towards music rank the highest. The general pattern is that people are involved at the simplest levels with the activity of music, while more specialized knowledge is lacking.

AN - 64104439; ED094359 AB - The National Assessment of Educational Progress assessment of reading was conducted from October 1970 through August 1971 at four age levels--9, 13, 17, and 26-35. The objectives assessed were formulated and reviewed by a cross section of scholars, educators, students, and lay citizens. The five major objectives represent the individual's ability to comprehend, analyze, use, reason logically from, and make judgments concerning what he has read. Once the reading objectives were formulated, they became the framework within which the reading exercises were developed. The majority of the exercises were in a multiple-choice format; some exercises required the correspondent to supply his own response. In summarizing the data, a group's overall performance relative to the national level on sets of exercises is described. Tables summarizing the data by age, group, sex, objective, and exercise set conclude the report. (TO) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Technical Summary).

National Assessment of Educational Progress: Social Studies. Report No. 03-SS-02. AN - 64045918; ED097271 AB - This document presents information about young people's perceptions of contemporary society as elicited by the 1971 National Assessment in social studies. Topics covered include perceptions (1) of contemporary urban problems, (2) environmental quality, and (3) minority groups and social justice. Responses to the open-ended questions are displayed in tables and graphs which distinguish the age groups surveyed, 9, 13, 17, and adult; acceptable responses; and categories of answer content. For example, 13- and 17-year-olds listed the three most important problems facing large cities in the United States. A table showing the percentages of students able to respond and a table of those responses with percentages of students mentioning them are presented. Then the students chose one problem about which they would like to ask questions; percentages choosing various problems are given. The tabular evidence is investigated, and sample responses are given. The material in this document can suggest areas for curricular emphasis and new questioning exercises that may "turn students on." Use of these materials to stimulate discussion and for comparing student responses is encouraged. (JH) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Selective) (Topical).

Exercises especially designed to test the attainment of social studies skills, knowledges, and attitudes were administered to a random sampling of 9-year-olds, 13-year-olds, 17-year-olds, and adults. Among the findings are the following: (1) Less than one half of America's 17-year-olds and young adults understand how to use all parts of a simple ballot; (2) relatively few Americans can read and interpret graphs, maps, or tables effectively; (3) a rather large gap exists between the attitudes Americans profess to hold and the actions they take in specific situations; (4) young Americans generally have very little knowledge about the contributions of minority groups to our culture and history; (5) blacks show a marked disadvantage in skills, knowledge, and attitudes assessed at all age levels; (6) females outperform males on both skill and attitude exercises during the school years, but fall behind the males by age adult; and (7) Southeasterners consistently perform below the national levels of success in all three areas.

AN - 64098592; ED092869 AB - Conducted from October 1970 through August 1971, this assessment of reading was concerned with four age levels--9, 13, 17, and 26-35. A total of 98,016 people responded to a wide variety of reading exercises which were administered and scored by trained professionals. The results were then examined according to various group characteristics: sex, color, parental education, region of the country, and size and type of community (STOC). Reading objectives were formulated and reviewed by a cross section of scholars, educators, students, and lay citizens. The first five objectives represented the individual's ability to comprehend, analyze, use, reason logically, and make judgments concerning what he had read. The sixth reading objective was concerned with attitudes toward and interests in reading. Some of the results indicated that there is a correlation between membership in certain groups and a low or high level of success on reading exercises, that school-age males read consistently below females, that blacks were consistently below the national population, that people from the Southeastern States were consistently below their counterparts in other States, and that students from inner-city areas read less well than those from any other STOC group.

National Assessment of Education Progress Report No. 03-MU-02. AN - 64047971; ED097276 AB - Since 1965 the National Assessment of Educational Progress has conducted a nationwide survey of musical abilities, during which 150 musical exercises have been administered to about 80,000 individuals in four age groups. Members of the Music Educators National Conference studied this survey to determine implications for the music teacher in terms of curriculum methods and priorities. Exercises were grouped into the following five categories: musical performance, knowledge of notation and terminology, recognition of instrumental and vocal media, knowledge of music history and literature, and attitudes toward music. Results of the exercises were generally low, although attitudes toward music were positive. This led to the implication that music education programs are not taking full advantage of the positive attitude that people have toward music. The panel limited themselves to the discussion of national results, foregoing results by sex, color, region, parental education, and community type.

AN - 64118477; ED089660 AB - In light of today's inflation and the changing priorities of the present Administration, the Office of Education (OE) has taken careful stock of its inventory of programs and has attempted to plan rigorously for the needs of the present and the future. Over the years, OE expenditures on library programs have had significant impact on public, school, and academic libraries. Now, the very success of these funding programs, and the assumption that they can now be better handled by state and local agencies, has prompted the Office of Education to gradually phase out funding, and to consider new initiatives which conform to a known Administration posture--that all Federal initiatives be closely tied to local innovative services. The proposed Information Partnership Act is based on this percept; that the Federal government has a joint role with the states and localities. The Act's purpose is to encourage, support, and provide incentives to local, state and regional groups to work together to provide more accessible and comprehensive information services to more people. Included will be support of a wide range of cooperative information networks and of new information delivery systems for all types of libraries. (SL) AU - Ottina, John R.

AN - 63836045; ED155126 AB - The report summarizes results of a survey of musical performance abilities of Americans of various ages. During 1971 and 1972 a national assessment program was conducted to measure the musical abilities of nine-year-olds, 13-year-olds, 17-year-olds, and young adults from 26-35 years of age. Exercises were divided into five groups: singing familiar songs, repeating unfamiliar musical material, improvising, performing from notation, and performing a prepared piece. Results indicated that (1) in singing familiar songs, almost all individuals were able to maintain rhythmic patterns, but relatively few were accurate in pitch; (2) in repeating unfamiliar musical material, very few were able to repeat the melodic or harmonic patterns; and (3) in improvising melody, about half of the individuals from all four age groups attained acceptable scores. Very few individuals were able to accurately sight-read a line of music, either vocally or instrumentally. Although 25% of the population claimed to play an instrument, very few were able to give acceptable performances. A concluding section discusses performance levels of subgroups according to sex, race, parental education, region, and community type.

K. Grunewald discusses the planning of housing for five- to eight person groups of retarded children and adults in varying kinds of residential facilities in Sweden to provide a stimulating educational environment, proximity to community services, and opportunity for normalization. Discussed by R. Bourgea is a Pennsylvania cooperative vocational education project for 10-24 educable mentally retarded high school students, who have rehabilitated old homes and built new homes, and who have been employed in building trades after graduation. Recounted by B. Posner are a gasoline station owner's techniques of teaching job skills to a mentally retarded pump attendant and providing stimulating experiences, which have resulted in a father-son relationship. B. Freeman and J. Mundy give an overview of recreation, which began for the retarded in state schools and hospitals for purposes such as personnel respite and now consists of offerings for all age groups and levels of retardation (the article is noted to be the first chapter of a monograph). Reported by C. Rodlund are reductions in South Dakota institutionalization (half of 101 patients) due to patient evaluation during a 4-year hospital improvement program; and explained with five case studies are casework, special class placement, foster home placement, and vocational training.

Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. AN - 63980058; ED111905 AB - This report presents an analysis of and conclusions (based on audits of projects) on the progress being made by state educational agencies (SEA's) in assuring that local educational agencies (LEA's) are designing and implementing projects to meet the needs of educationally deprived children. Two considerations are said to have been employed in reviewing the effectiveness of SEA practices: the extent to which Title I funds are used for high priority educational needs and the extent of improvements due to the use of funds. Although variations among the 14 states reviewed are found, a pattern of change for the better is stated to exist, perhaps due to clearer guidelines from the USOE, more effective Federal and SEA monitoring processes, and better familiarity and acceptance of the requirements of the program by many SEA's. Further improvement is considered to be necessary as 12 percent of Title I funds are still not being used for high priority needs. Recommendations include (1) closer monitoring of procedures used by SEA's in reviewing and approving projects, along with on-site monitoring; and (2) requiring SEA's to provide LEA's with information and training on the requirements for educating deprived children.

The results of the 1971-72 assessment of political knowledge and attitudes are summarized in this report. Chapters 1-4 present national results for each exercise in the volume. The four chapters group the exercises in the following areas: attitudes toward the underlying values of American society; knowledge of the role and function of government; knowledge of and attitudes toward constitutional rights; and knowledge of the electoral process and of the role of political parties. A rationale for the choice of content of the exercises introduces each chapter. Each exercise is reproduced with its possible answers, and tables show the percentage of responses to each answer. The fifth chapter presents summary results for various sub-populations at each age level. The variables used for the division are region of country, sex, color, parental education, and size and type of community. Each variable is defined, and tables present statistics on each variable as well as on group differences from the national percentage and limitations of the data.

The newsletter allows for dissemination of current information of the National Assessment which provides data to measure student knowledge, skills and understandings in ten subject matter areas. The lead article provides findings from a recent report entitled: "Political Knowledge and Attitudes: A Special Social Studies Report from the National Assessment of Educational Progress" which shows that nearly one out of every four young adults in the nation is unaware that the U.S. Constitution contains a statement of his civil rights. Another article concerned with the report reviews misunderstandings about voting ballots among 17-year-olds and discusses comparative levels of political knowledge. Further reports in a series that will present survey findings in other subject areas are announced. Letters to the editors comment on a previous report on the teaching of reading.

Report of a Special Task Force to the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. AN - 64105292; ED082719 AB - This report focuses on the role of the federal government as the chief vehicle for the expression of the national interest in postsecondary education. It is addressed not only to federal officials but to all those concerned with questions of national educational leadership. Two over-riding themes dominate. First, in addition to supporting access to college, and subsidizing research and manpower training in various areas, the federal government must shift its concern from encouraging growth to a new concern for effectiveness throughout postsecondary education. Second, the federal government must develop a new concern for the form of public support, for how decisions are made, and for the purposes to be achieved, in order to preserve conditions under which postsecondary education can remain viable and responsive. Attention and analysis must be focused not only on the levels of public support for postsecondary education, but on the purposes and forms of federal and state involvement as well. After the foreword and introduction, this document is divided into six sections: (1) The Implications of the Egalitarian Commitment; (2) The End of Guaranteed Social Mobility; (3) New Requirements for Effective Education; (4) New Political Realities; (5) The Federal Presence in Higher Education; and (6) The Federal Role in Postsecondary Education.

THE OVERALL LEVEL OF OCCURRENCE OF THE TOXIC ELEMENTS IN FOOD MUST BE DETERMINED IN ORDER TO OBTAIN A GOOD INDICATION OF THE NATURAL BACKGROUND LEVEL IN FOOD, AND TO FIND OUT WHETHER SPECIFIC COMPONENTS OF THE FOOD SUPPLY CONTAIN UNUSUALLY HIGH LEVELS, SO THAT POTENTIAL PROBLEMS ARE READILY IDENTIFIED. IN DETERMINING THE OVERALL LEVEL OF OCCURRENCE OF A CONTAMINANT IN THE FOOD SUPPLY, CONTINUING SURVEYS ARE CONCLUDED ON THE TOTAL DIET, CLASSES ARE ANALYZED. THE INTAKE OF A GIVEN METAL IS BASED ON THE AVERAGE TOTAL CONSUMPTION OF A YOUNG MALE ADULT, WHICH IS APPRECIABLY MORE THAN THAT OF THE AVERAGE ADULT. A SPECIAL FISH SURVEY DETERMINES THE LEVELS OF CONTAMINATION IN A VARIETY OF SEA AND FRESH WATER FISH. THE OBJECTIVE HAS BEEN TO USE RESOURCES TO CONCENTRATE ON THE MOST POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS METALS FIRST; SYSTEMATICALLY DEVELOP NECESSARY DATA FOR QUIDELINES, BUT AT THE SAME TIME MAINTAIN FLEXIBILITY.

Divided into subthemes, the first requires the individual to know appropriate reference sources, since reference sources are best utilized when an individual knows which type of reference to consult for a specific kind of information. The second subtheme requires the individual to use reference materials effectively, since once the appropriate source is located, an individual must be able to extract the desired information. In all but one exercise (which incorporated a real dictionary) facsimiles of reference materials were used.

Some of the exercises require the individual to identify the main idea in a passage either by suggesting an appropriate title or by identifying the point the author is attempting to make. Other exercises require the individual to identify the mode in which the author organizes the facts.

Most of the exercises in subtheme 1 were simple pictures or cartoons, and respondents were asked questions about the information the materials contained. Because of their low level of sophistication, these exercises were administered primarily to 9 and 13 year olds. Subthemes 2 through 4 covered a wide range of interaction between words and diagrams or drawings. The chapters included in the report are "Theme 2: Graphic Materials,""Summary of Results,""Results for 9 Year Olds.""Results for 13 Year Olds,""Results for 17 Year Olds,""Results for Young Adults," and "Performance on Exercises Overlapping Two or More Age Groups."

AN - 64175552; ED078360 AB - Line-by-line narrative passages such as those found in stories, poems, or magazine and newspaper articles were used in this fifth section of an eight-part series on reading skills. The purpose of "Theme 5" was to assess the ability of 9-, 13-, and 17-year-old and young adult (26-35) readers to glean those facts which support an author's main idea or the topic of a passage. Four types of exercises required the reader to: (1) recognize factual information, (2) relate one fact to another without reference to the main idea, (3) relate a single fact to the total message, and (4) retain factual information for a short period of time. The report contains exercises used and results obtained for each of the four age groups as well as a section comparing age groups; results for subjects are also broken down according to region, sex, color, parental education, and size and type of community.

AN - 64125537; ED081638 AB - Report 7 from the National Assessment of Educational Progress, a project of the Education Commission of the States, is based on the results of a 1969-70 survey designed to measure the scientific knowledge of the nation's children and young adults. This report is a completely revised edition of a previously published preliminary volume (ED 067 220). The results cover the performance of Blacks, of respondents with differing levels of parental education, and from different types of communities. Blacks performed between 11.8 and 15.8 percent below the national average at the four age levels tested: 9, 13, 17 and young adults (26-35). When results were adjusted for disproportionate type of community, parental education, sex, and regional representation, the median results for Blacks were still below national results, but by amounts substantially less than those which do not take the balancing factors into account. The residual disadvantages were between -7.7 and -11.0 percent for the four age groups. Blacks performed best on those science exercises most dependent upon daily experience and common knowledge, and poorest on those which involve a detached research attitude toward the objects and phonomena of science.

AN - 64107445; ED083572 AB - This document reports the results for the second year assessment (reading and literature) by theme. The reading themes represent both a variety of reading materials and the variety of behaviors these materials require. The themes were developed by members of the National Assessment staff and reading specialists to cluster the reading exercises into reporting categories that are meaningful to persons concerned with the reading skills of various groups of young Americans. The themes are numbered such that the lower numbers designate skills that are usually associated with early reading and the higher numbers designate high order skills. The themes are: (1) understand words and word relationships, (2) graphic materials, (3) written directions, (4) reference materials, (5) read for significant facts in passages, (6) main ideas and organization, (7) drawing inferences, and (8) critical reading. Results are given for each theme for four age levels, 9, 13, 17, and 26-35. Within each age level across the nation results are also given for the four regions of the country, for the two sexes, for blacks and whites, for four levels of parent education, and for seven sizes and types of community. In addition to describing each group's overall behavior relative to the national level, the document describes each group's specific behaviors relative to its own overall level of behavior.

Respondents made verbal remarks about poems and stories; these remarks were taperecorded and classified according to four categories developed by Alan Purves and Victoria Rippere: engagement-involvement, perception, interpretation, and evaluation. The respondents also wrote essays about stories or poems; these essays were classified as inadequate, barely adequate, adequate, or superior. The bulk of this report consists of sample responses to the exercises; judgments about the worth and implications of the responses are left to the reader.

The educational attainments of nine-year-olds, thirteen-year-olds, seventeen-year-olds, and adults (ages 26-35) were surveyed according to their ability to recognize literary works and characters. Five types of exercises were used: (1) an illustration of a well-known nursery rhyme, story, or poem; (2) parodies of famous poems; (3) allusions to some literary work or character; (4) a disguised myth or story pattern; and (5) straightforward questions about specific works and characters.

Part II - Differentiated Staffing: A State of the Art Report. AN - 64185540; ED076551 AB - The concern of this report is differentiated staffing. Background, historical precedents, and early models of this concept are explored, and a theory base is found in the concepts of a functional division of labor (specialized teaching talent) and the classical definition of promotion based on merit. Projects in differentiated staffing at Florida State University are briefly reviewed, and some conclusions are reached. Contrary to the expectations of most educators, the report finds that the immediate effect of differentiated staffing is apt to be limited, but it can lead to an educational climate that encourages change. Some indication is given that the concept has been watered-down in practice and that there has been economic confusions in the staffing variations. But, on the whole, the report finds that conditions of teaching and learning have been improved in every case. The report includes chapters on the role of the government, states, and teachers' agencies in differentiated staffing. Concluding, this report finds that more research and developmental efforts aimed at discovering which specific teacher role and behaviors will produce which specific effects in students are needed. A selected bibliography is provided. (Related document is SP 006 351.)

Richardson, Secretary of HEW. AN - 64191349; ED077795 AB - Two documents were released to the press on January 18, 1973, by Secretary Richardson, one summarizing his term of office as Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, and one reporting on HEW potential for the seventies (SO 005 666, SO 005 699). In an introductory statement prior to the press conference, the question of whether or not we as a society can manage our human resource development is raised. The crisis of performance within our institutions, of resources, of equity, and of control, has become a crisis of confidence. A new approach to HEW and to social problem solving is seen as necessary. Progress made in educational legislation, in social security benefit increase, and in other social reform legislation indicates that the department has benefited from changes in planning and management. Questions raised by the press dealt with revenue sharing, states' responsibility, comparisons between this and other countries' social welfare programs, desegregation, educational funding, mental health, medical research funding, and HEW administrative policies. In his answers, Mr. Richardson placed emphasis on progress made in legislation, further program achievements needed, and in the need for evaluation of programs at all levels to ensure efficiency in planning, in placing priorities and in continuation of efforts.

This report looks to the future and suggests reconception and reform for HEW. Not intended as a progress report, it does review and defend the present structure of the department, with its complexities and divergencies, under the direction of a Cabinet Officer; the interdependency of comprehensive planning is emphasized. The question raised is whether our society can effectively manage our human resource development. Part II examines the department and its operating efficiency, reviewing recent administrative changes and citing the need for evaluation. The crisis developing in this country in the political control of federal programs and funds is discussed in Part III--a crisis of confidence. Recommendations for future reconception and regeneration are made in the following areas: Financial assistance to individuals--ensuring dignity and independence; Financial assistance to states and localities--reforming the intergovernmental delivery system; Capacity building--closing the performance gap. In summary, the former Secretary of HEW urges increased citizen participation in decision making and in realistically facing responsibilities. (JMB) AU - Richardson, Elliot L.

Richardson on his tenure as Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. AN - 64185893; ED077801 AB - Progress made in DHEW during 1970-72 has been directed toward a more responsible government in meeting a broad range of human problems through better internal coordination, planning, and management accountability. The reforms and legislation enacted are summarized here. Management effectiveness was achieved by formal policy making and accountability structures, by the establishment of an Executive Secretariat to encourage intradepartmental coordination and communication, and by programs directed toward educating and upgrading employees. National educational programs include: The Education Amendments of 1972, the establishment of the National Institute of Education, advancements in career education, in the Right to Read Program, in school assistance grants, aid to black institutions, and the Educational Opportunity Act. Social services have been restructured to provide for greater efficiency in administration of services and income payments. Social Security benefits have increased, and the supplementary Security Income Program provides minimum income for the blind, disabled, and aged poor. Health programs include comprehensive health manpower reform legislation, a continuing Federal commitment to strengthening biomedical research, the National Cancer Act of 1971, a National Hypertension Program, nursing home standards reforms, health insurance proposals, and the Drug Abuse Office and Treatment Act of 1972.

Report of a Special Task Force to the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. AN - 64128350; ED090828 AB - In the 1950s and 1960s, the right to higher education became an assumption for an ever greater number of Americans. This book documents the changeover from an aristocratic and meritocratic view of higher education to an egalitarian view, more accurately reflecting the current status of American society. Citing such areas of concern as the decline in enrollment or private institutions, the swelling of public university enrollments, the creation of multicampus-system bureaucracies with their tendency to breed other bureaucracies and an assembly-line educational process, and the changing meaning of higher education in terms of economic and social mobility, this book concludes that now is the time to reexamine our concepts of the structure and purpose of higher education so that we can more realistically design federal involvement. The Task Force makes several recommendations, including more use of direct grants to students. An extensive bibliography is included.

The first section reviews the notion of a Board of Trustees and examines briefly the characteristics of the lay governing board. The second section of the report deals with the nature of student participation in governance. Four major approaches to the governance of American higher education are discussed: (1) the university as a "community of masters," (2) the university as an "educational corporation," (3) the university as an "educational community," and (4) the "student as consumer." The final section reviews the scope of student participation in collegiate governing boards. This section takes into special account the activities that have been taking place in public higher education.

The papers were given to independent judges, who made comments about their impressions of the student writer. Relations between error types, racial and socioeconomic status of the author, and evaluation of the papers is discussed. The existence of the following factors is suggested: (1) error types reflecting linguistic interference; and (2) a measurement of the length of the essays reflecting the amount of specificity in them. As this is not an experimental study, it is not possible to say that racial, sexual, or motivational factors caused respondents to write as they did. This descriptive study deals only with characteristics of teenagers and their essays without attempting to determine how they are related to the writing processes. J.

Report of a Special Task Force to the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. AN - 64190222; ED070738 AB - The report analyzes health, education, and welfare problems from the perspective of work which plays a powerful role in the psychological, social, and economic aspects determining for many the quality of life. Work problems create repercussions in other parts of the social system. Documentary evidence on which the report is based consists of literature on work reviewed by the ten members of the Task Force, interviews with blue and white collar workers, and fifty papers prepared by specialists. Six chapters examine and discuss: 1) the functions of work, noting that many adults not only lack the opportunity to work but are generally dissatisfied with jobs which fail to keep pace with changes in worker attitudes, aspirations, and values; 2) the effects of work problems of discontented workers who feel their work is not challenging; 3) the physical and mental health costs of jobs; 4) the keystone of the report which is the redesign of work to allow workers to participate in decision making processes affecting their lives; 5) worker self-renewal programs which allow for additional education and training; and 6) the Federal policy in relation to the creation of jobs, manpower, and welfare.

Agency personnel were interviewed prior to the Conference to establish questions and issues that the meeting ought to address. An objective opinion was sought from Organizational Development Associates, a contractor, on how best to structure the Conference. An agenda was distributed prior to the Conference; a summary of which is included as an appendix. Considering the agenda and structure of the Conference, "Track Reports" provide the most concise summary of the goals, issues, unresolved questions, recommendations, and needed actions developed at the Conference. The Track Reports (planning, telecommunications, standards, procurement and applications) form the basis of these proceedings. The keynote address, comments at the final session, roster of participants, and an assessment are added to complete the report.

AN - 64176533; ED076934 AB - In this assessment of the reading rate and literal comprehension skills of 9, 13, and 17 year olds, and of young adults between the ages of 26 and 35, individuals were asked to read two passages, one more difficult than the other according to readability formulas. Then each subject was asked to answer five multiple choice comprehension questions which were designed to measure the reader's comprehension of details from the passage. Copies of the passages are reproduced in the text, and the comprehension exercises are given in the appendix. For each group evaluated, the results are given by region, sex, race, parental education, and size and type of community. Readers are cautioned to avoid comparing reading rates or comprehension scores across age groups because all groups did not read passages of the same type, nor is there an even progression of difficulty in the readability of the passages.

AN - 64128811; ED081145 AB - Presented are four papers from a conference on mental retardation and families (1971). In the first paper, research is cited to show that current educational programs do not adequately exploit children's potential, and that child centered programs which ignore family/community influence do not significantly influence children's adjustment and achievement. Recommended among supports for families is establishment of a National Institute on the Family, which might compile research, foster advocacy groups, or lobby for family agencies and programs. Described next is a language research/demonstration training program, in which training of 40 retarded children, 16- to 36-months-old, begins with primitive and moves in stages to complex language use, and parents are taught to train their children. In the third paper, the author uses the Pennsylvania and other court cases to describe use of litigation for achieving access to education for all retarded children, for creating new forums, for raising new questions for public discourse, and for redressing grievances. Considered in the last paper are needs of incapacitated older adults, and of older retarded adults who are about to lose a parental figure or parental support. Suggested for serving the older population are a monitoring system to begin with younger handicapped persons and continue with lifelong followup, and a comprehensive protective service program in the community mental health center.

The newsletter allows for dissemination of current information of the National Assessment which provides data to measure student knowledge, skills and understandings in ten subject-matter areas. The lead article provides findings from a recent report entitled "Reading Rate and Comprehension" which showed that there are few rapid readers with good comprehension; and, there is a pattern of slow readers with poor comprehension. Other articles preview a literature report assessing literary understanding to be released in December, 1972; describe the National Assessment Exercise Development Department; and reflect on the revised citizenship objectives for the 1973 assessment. Brief information is included on contract bids awarded for 1974, and an announcement of the Social Science Education Consortium plans for an interpretative report of citizenship goals data.

AN - 64177921; ED072461 AB - This report describes highlights of the first National Assessment of Literature, a project of the Education Commission of the States. This assessment surveyed four major questions: How well do people understand literature? What and how often do they read? In what ways and how well do people understand imaginative literature? How familiar are they with major characters and works of Western literature? The ages of the subjects tested were nine, thirteen, seventeen, and adults. Results were analyzed according to sex and region of the country. The report includes samples of the testing devices used for each of the four major questions, some of the responses received, and some of the generalizations derived from this survey. The authors note that each question did not receive equal assessment time, and that no one question could be exhaustively pursued in any one assessment year. They also note that the results may be interpreted in various ways depending on the reader's point of view. It is hoped that while the survey will not answer all or even many of the questions about the status of literary understanding in America, it will generate discussion and further research.

AN - 64189364; ED071629 AB - This report discusses briefly the concept of open education and its application at the college and university level. Efforts already underway in the United States and abroad are covered in two appendices. Four models of open universities are described in some detail. One model is based on the extension of community college activities. The second model assumes a close relationship with one or more four-year institutions. The third model is based on a nationwide network of relatively independent neighborhood learning centers, and the fourth model is an elaboration of existing efforts to provide postgraduate professional education by television lessons. Each model is broken into four component systems: a learner access system, a distribution system, a production-procurement-storage system, and a credentialling system. In addition to model descriptions, seven recommendations are proposed as steps that can expedite the growth of open universities in the United States.

AN - 64112364; ED081842 AB - Test construction is not the strictly logical process that we might wish it to be. This is particularly true in a large on-going project such as the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Most of the really deep questions can only be answered by the exercise of well-informed human judgment. Criterion-referenced testing is still a term in search of definition. It has been suggested that NAEL's exercises might be more properly called "objective referenced" tests. That is a reasonable title for our efforts since we are attempting to assess the degree of achievement of stated goals without reference to a predetermined level or criterion. Whatever the appropriate title may be, we share the concerns of all workers in the field with the same basic questions. But until satisfactory scientific solutions have been found; we, like the rest of education, must rely on the best human judgment available.

Elevation in the test chambers also affected the traps' performance, which was best near the ceiling, poor near the floor. Mesh size of the hardware cloth screens on the traps influenced only the catches of A. albimanus females. Survival in both traps was improved by reduced air flow. This was accompanied by a marked decrease in total captures by the downdraft trap, but with the updraft model, capture levels were maintained despite substantial reduction in air velocity. The updraft trap therefore showed greater potential for recovery of live specimens. Observations of the mosquitoes' flight behavior near the traps offer an explanation for the superiority of the updraft principle.Original Abstract: INFLUENCE DE LA DIRECTION ET DE LA VITESSE DE L'AIR DANS LA CONCEPTION D'UN PIEGE LUMINEUX A ASPIRATION Deux pieges a lumiere ultraviolette sont compares dans leur efficaciTE pour la capture des adultes Anopheles albimanus et A. stephensi en essai au laboratoire. Chaque trappe se compose d'une lampe BLB 4-watt fixee a une extremiTE d'un conduit de metal, l'autre extremiTE s'ouvrant sur une cage de grillage, cependant qu'un aspirateur (moteur 6-volts DC) place dans le conduit fournit le courant d'air pour attraper les insectes. Dans un premier type de piege l'aspiration de l'air entraine les insectes vers le bas dans la cage de grillage (downdraft trap), dans un second type les insectes sont au contraire tires de bas vers le haut avec le courant d'air (updraft trap). Les tests ont eTE effectues dans les chambres a parois blanches de 1.8 m de coTE. Les lampes BLB sont disposees a trois niveaux: (a) le plus haut a 20 cm sous le plafond: (b) le plus central a 91 cm au-dessus du plancher; et (c) le plus bas, 52 cm au-dessus du plancher. Tous les essais ont montre que le piege lumineux du type "updraft" etait le meilleur pour la prise des adultes ages de 5 a 6 jours. Les pieges disposes sous le plafond ont donne les meilleurs resultats. La survie des insectes captures etait meilleure dans le piege de type "downdraft", pour une aspiration de l'air a une vitesse de 171 m/min. En reduisant le voltage a 5 ou 4 volts, la vitesse du courant d'air d'aspiration se reduit a 137 et 110 m/min et on observe une forte amelioration de la survie des insects captures dans le piege "updraft", sans qu'il y eut reduction du nombre des insectes captures. Mais ce n'est pas le cas avec le piege de type "down-draft" pour lesquels le nombre des captures se trouve reduit avec diminution du voltage. Les observations du vol des moustiques autour des trappes permettent d'expliquer la superioriTE du piege de type "updraft".

Special Report 1. AN - 64190743; ED070386 AB - Rehabilitation facility personnel are those persons who design programs and facilities for the occupational or educational rehabilitation of persons with physical disabilities. New directions in the training of rehabilitation facility personnel should stress innovative or experimental approaches of a variety of types at the undergraduate level. Among these approaches, three are given consideration in this paper. Part I discusses the recognition and understanding of the importance of integrity groups and the strength obtained from peer groups in the habilitation and rehabilitation of the severely disabled from poverty areas, addictive categories, spinal cord injuries, deafness, and blindness, with special reference to the younger disabled on junior high school levels. Part II discusses the use of the workshop or center as an appropriate environment and an essential partner of the campus and the university or college with whom it has signed an agreement. Part III takes into consideration responsiveness to multiple approaches to the education and training of rehabilitation facility personnel such as classroom instruction, orientation of university and college faculty to the rehabilitation process, fieldwork or clinical experiences, research undertakings, and the orientation of business and industry to responsibility in educational involvement with the placement process.

National Assessment of Educational Progress. A Project of the Education Commission of the States. Report 02-R-00. AN - 64188816; ED067654 AB - The National Assessment of Reading was not based on any one particular approach to the subject of reading. Its primary assumption was that information would help anyone who is interested in reading--regardless of his approach to the subject--determine for himself how well Americans read. The results of this assessment are reported according to a number of themes which unite groups of exercises assessing different aspects of the reading process or different skills involved in the development of reading ability. Nine basic themes were developed: (1) word meanings, (2) visual aids, (3) written directions, (4) reference materials, (5) significant facts in passages, (6) main ideas and organization of passages, (7) inferences from passages, (8) critical reading of passages, and (9) reading rate. Objectives were developed for each of the nine themes, and they became the framework for which the reading exercises were developed. The results for both themes and objectives demonstrated that some groups exhibited a higher achievement than others on specific reading skills and that any given group exhibits higher achievements on some types of reading skills than on others.

The Nixon Administration is determined to support the uses of computers, television, and all forms of technology in the cause of education. The Offices of Education (OE) is formulating a coherent Federal policy on this subject. It has established the National Center for Educational Technology (NCET) to coordinate projects and allocate funds in this area. It aims to seek redesigned legislation providing for funds, coordination of programs at all levels of government, and programming authority for the OE. Other OE projects include "Sesame Street,""The Electric Company," the establishment of the first State-wide library cataloging network, and the Computer Utility for Educational Systems (CUES), which provides computer services for small colleges which could not possess them on their own.

AN - 64259683; ED059175 AB - Although school administrators are not usually thought of as revolutionaries, they are in fact deeply and constructively engaged with concerns that must be called revolutionary. The American school system has grown amazingly since 1920, when only 20 percent of 17 -year-olds attended public schools, compared with nearly 80 percent today. Nearly one third of the entire population is enrolled in public and private institutions, and there has been a striking increase in the number of black students. Educational research has also greatly increased. The need for finance reform is receiving increasing attention and new ways of financing public education are being examined. Some of the questions to be considered in developing a fair and adequate educational finance system are 1) How and to what extent should we seek to diminish the wealth-based disparities among school districts within a state? 2) Assuming that such equalization among districts should be sought, should educational finance reform also seek to equalize expenditures among the states? 3) If intrastate equalization is desired, will local supplementation of resources be permitted? and 4) How can urban districts obtain the extra resources they need to deal with their special problems?

Effective comprehensive planning must begin with an honest estimate of the desired output. Title I and Model Cities are two parallel programs sponsored by the Federal Government which seek to give help to the poor and the socially disadvantaged in the inner cities. Changes in the educational process are brought about by programs designed to engage community involvement, the introduction of early reading experience into kindergarten, compensatory education for all children in need of it, and programs to improve neighborhoods. While these two programs parallel each other, it is necessary that services are not duplicated or counter-productively competitive. State and Federal agencies must be ready to assist communities requesting aid or consultation, and the efforts of State and Federal offices should be fully coordinated. (Author/SB) AU - Marland, P.

AN - 64254287; ED065972 AB - Sidney P. Marland, Jr., U.S. Commissioner of Education, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, reports on progress made toward the national objective of full educational opportunity for handicapped children by the year 1980. It is explained that during 1971 the Office of Education has attempted to strengthen state, local, and federal partnership. Four national targets for fiscal year 1972 discussed are: 100,000 handicapped children in preschool programs, 250,000 children added to the special education roles, 250,000 children and young adults receiving vocational education in order that they can complete school with marketable skills, self-sufficiency, and increased self-regard, and 17,000 teachers and professional personnel receiving full or part time training needed in reaching the three previous goals. It is clarified that federal money alone cannot meet the objectives, but that federal money is meant to act as a catalyst for state and local programs. It is thought that the judicial, legislative, and executive branches of government are cooperating in improving educational opportunities for handicapped children. (CB) AU - Marland, P. S.

Results from the studies are tentative but appear to provide milestones in understanding the relationships between school experiences and children's growth. Among the major findings are the following: (1) Participants made greater gains in achievement and cognitive development during the school year than did non-participant children; (2) Examining academic achievement and cognitive and attitudinal growth suggested an equality of effects of well-implemented educational programs; (3) Difference among Planned Variation approaches suggested a specificity of effects such that programs with specific objectives and strategies to achieve them were more effective in achieving the objectives than were other programs; and (4) Approaches differed in actual practice in accordance with their published descriptions. Future evaluations of the two programs will describe effects of different educational approaches after children have participated in them continuously for several years. (LH) AU - Bissell, Joan S.

The HEW Potential for the Seventies. AN - 64129165; ED086567 AB - The Secretary of HEW presents an overview of departmental undertakings for the purpose of developing more responsible and responsive personnel. The major portion of the statement focuses on internal processes of responsibility and external processes of responsiveness. Departmental strategies, a planning cycle, an operational planning system, involvement of people, and increased flexibility are suggested to improve decision making. The role of research and development, evaluation, and cost benefit considerations also relate to internal processes. The HEW role in responsiveness starts with cutting away red tape, grant consolidation, services integration, and decentralization. Steps to encourage change include technical assistance in the proposed renewal strategy of the Office of Education and improved communications in the public affairs management system. As a department of the people, the HEW role in exercising leadership in the national effort to promote human dignity is realized. Concluding remarks identify a fourfold task: to identify problems of people and institutions; to eliminate gaps between promise and performance; to make the best of limited resources; and to fight for additional resources.

In the research area, Commissioner Marland discusses the proposed National Institute of Education (NIE), and the changes being made in the Office of Education so as to provide resources for programs for the disadvantaged. The major components of the higher education bill are, as stated by Commissioner Marland, expanded student aid, institutional aid, the National Foundation for Higher Education, and the National Institute of Education. Career education as proposed by the Office of Education is seen as the means of supplying young people, especially those in inner cities and rural depressed areas, with knowledge about the world of work and with control over their own lives. Commissioner Marland states that the year that had elapsed since his taking office has been a good one, and he is optimistic about the future of education in this country. (DB) AU - Marland, P. S.

Blacks performed between 12 percent and 16 percent below the national average at the four age levels: 9, 13, 17 and young adults (26-35). When results were partially adjusted for disproportionate representation of Blacks on the variables of size of community, level of parental education, sex and region, the reduced difference between Black and national performance was between 7 percent and 10 percent at the four age levels. Blacks performed best on those science exercises largely dependent upon daily experience and common knowledge, and worst on those which involved a detached research attitude toward the objects and phenomena of science.

AN - 64237394; ED057000 AB - The new approach to educational renewal in the Office of Education involves the key element of concentration. Instead of giving piecemeal grants, all discretionary funds within OE have been concentrated in one division in order to assist a limited number of school systems to install totally new programs involving all aspects of the school. Each site will be funded for a 5-year period, after which it should be able to continue with combined state and local assistance. Each site will have about 10 schools, all of them in areas where there are large concentrations of disadvantaged children. A locally-developed needs assessment will be the basis for the package of programs funded by OE. Proposals must conform to three criteria: 1) evidence of state and local commitment, 2) comprehensiveness, 3) program objectives stated in precise measurable terms. Initially the renewal sites will probably be identified by the states with final selection by OE. The state department will also house at least half the total number of "educational renewal extension agents." The agents would tie practitioners to federal, state, and local researchers. Another new program being planned at OE is called Common Core of Data for the 70's. Eventually it will provide an integrated system of educational statistics for federal, state, local, and institutional planning and management. (RT) AU - Marland, P. S.

With television and other media, teachers can utilize excellent programming in the classroom at a relatively low cost, an important asset because the rising costs of education have occurred at the same time that the public is demanding more individualized and personalized instruction. Educational TV is expensive but because of the wide viewing audience the actual cost per child of a program list "Sesame Street" is one cent per child per hour. "Electric Company,""Ripples" and "Patterns in Arithmetic" are among other educational TV programs cited. Also discussed are future Office of Education plans for advancing the cause of edcuational telecommunications. (MK) AU - Marland, P. S.

AN - 64244216; ED055666 AB - The need for reform in school financing is crucial and urgent. The regressive and anachronistic practice of financing schools through local property taxes perpetuates inequities detrimental to students and unfair to parents and taxpayers. Although it is the students in the inner cities that require special, more costly educational approaches, cities have an average of 30 percent less money per capita available from local taxes than do their suburbs. This is despite the fact that city property owners are taxed 40 percent more heavily than suburbanites. During the last 10 years, public education costs have more than doubled to nearly $40 billion in 1970. The same financial difficulties beset the nonpublic schools, forcing Catholic schools to close at the rate of one per day, and increasing the public school burden. The defeat of all but 48 percent of the school bond issues presented to the nation last year suggests a growing rejection of our taxing system. A Presidential Commission is analyzing the school financing situation and suggesting appropriate new directions. This example should be followed on the state and local levels.

AN - 64244094; ED057372 AB - This paper discusses the U.S. Office of Education's attempt to stimulate drug education, and a few exemplary programs amongst those it supports. President Nixon's 1970 National Action Committee on Drug Education set up a program for training classroom teachers, and formulated guidelines for programs to educate people in schools, communities, and on college campuses in an effort to overcome the "national problem of drug abuse." A law was passed and funds were appropriated by Congress to support promising proposals which showed indications of scholarship, understanding and humility. Heavy involvement of youth in planning and conducting the programs was deemed essential. Described are the University of Idaho's crisis intervention telephone answering service, John Hopkins community center's use of information dissemination, counseling and creative therapy, the Ann Arbor University of Michigan's extraordinary array of services for drug users, and the activities of a Brotherhood of black students in New York City. Since the youth are asking the right questions and insisting on the "drug problem" being a "people problem," they may help produce constructive answers. (KS) AU - Marland, P. S.

Males of all ages performed better on the science tests, but females scored higher on the writing tests. The North East and Central regions performed at or above the national average for both sets of tests at all ages. The South East scores were lower than the national average for all ages and both tests. The Western region showed a less consistent pattern, with 17 year olds and adults performing better than the national average on both tests, 13 year olds below on both tests, and 9 year olds at the average for the science tests, but below for the writing. Large cities and "smaller places" respondents were above the national average, with the average for the urban fringe and medium-sized cities above average.

Our high schools have not been able to make sure that every young man and woman who receives a diploma is qualified either for immediate employment or further education. To solve the problems of this situation, the Office of Education is giving major emphasis to the design of a workable career education system that can be tested at a number of Federally financed pilot installations and, when satisfactorily developed, offered to the entire country. Along these lines three model career education programs are being developed--one for use in schools, a second to be generated within the business community, and a third to take place in the home. These models represent the first attempt to devise a career education system for virtually all Americans, from which the learner spins off at any level of maturity, whether as an auto mechanic or a physician, at the level of growth he chooses.

In the present report, results are presented by age (9, 13, 17 and young adults between 26 and 35) and by three classifications: (1) sex, (2) region: southeast, central, west, and (3) size of community: big cities, urban fringes, medium-size cities and smaller places. The data are examined for evidence of patterns of performance--for example, in general, how do males and females compare in percentage of successful performance? How does each region compare with the nation as a whole? How does each size of a community compare with the nation as a whole? The general, or typical, behavior is described, and then exercises on which a group performed much above or much below its own typical level are described and discussed. The general findings are: (1) Females perform better than males at all four ages, but their advantage is greater for 17s and adults than for 9s and 13s; (2) The northeast and central regions typically are above the nation as a whole; (3) The urban fringe typically performs above the nation as a whole, and the advantage is greater at ages 17 and adult than at ages 9 and 13.

AN - 64311351; ED050295 AB - The career education concept should replace vocational education so that more of the American people can receive the benefits that are being provided students in vocational education. It is necessary to begin to construct a sound, systematized relationship between education and work, a system which will make it standard practice to teach every student about occupations and the economic enterprise and which will increase career options for each individual. The National Center for Educational Research and Development is concentrating on the development of three model career education programs. The first model, oriented directly toward the school setting, would affect kindergarten through junior college by reshaping the curriculum to focus directly on the concept of career development. The second model would be created, developed, operated, and supported primarily by business in companionship with the schools. This program would concentrate on the 13 to 20 age group who have left school without needed competencies. The final model is a plan to use the home and community institutions to reach and teach persons with limited formal school and skills needed in successful employment. Such programs will give vocational education the national prestige that it needs. (GB) AU - Marland, P. S.

AN - 64308907; ED051612 AB - The advisory report for professionals and public concerns the use of stimulant medications in treating elementary school-age children with behavioral disturbances. The discussion of the nature of children's behavioral disorders focuses upon hyperactivity, often termed minimal brain dysfunction or hyperkinetic behavioral disturbance, which is often treated with stimulant drugs. Incidence, causes, course, and diagnosis of hyperkinetic disorders are summarized, and drug treatment and its degree of success reviewed. Concerns voiced by the public and the media about hazards and abuses when stimulant medications are used for children are discussed and some misconceptions clarified. It is concluded that stimulant drugs are a valid method of treatment in hyperkinetic behavioral disorders, but not the only effective form of treatment. Expanded programs of continuing education and research are recommended.

AN - 64246559; ED055166 AB - The Office of New Careers (ONC) was established in July 1969, to help program agencies realize the full potential of the new careers concept as a service-delivery vehicle. However, without knowledge of the current, general status of the New Careers basic component, the Office could do little to begin its leadership role. Therefore, the element of training was selected as the initial point-of-emphasis on which to concentrate the search for information. The summary presented in this report is a compilation of responses received from every U.S. state and territory. It should serve to inform interested persons of the nature of the training being provided by institutions of higher education, and as a springboard for other inquiries into the new careers component-processes. Arranged in table format with interpretative narrative, the report presents information on such topics as the types and numbers of institutions offering training, and listings of titles of training offered by various institutions.

(Working Paper). AN - 64305117; ED046528 AB - This report examines the current status of child health services in the United States and identifies priorities for an improved health care program for mothers and children. Its recommendations are designed as guidelines for constructive discussion by participants in the 1970 White House Conference on Children. A major thesis of the report is that the existing child health system in the United States is costly but cumbersome, well-intentioned but deplorably piecemeal, a system which muddles along rather than moving forthrightly ahead. In the 1970's, we shall be responsible for meeting the health needs of an anticipated 100 million young people at various stages of development. The Forum members have concluded that nothing less than a rationally planned and soundly supported maternal and child health program can be expected to correct current inequities and inadequacies. Specifically recommended are: (1) a federally-financed national child health care program, (2) augmentation of illness prevention and health promotion services, (3) revitalization of certain existing child health program, (4) the establishment of a unified child health unit within the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, under a newly created Deputy Assistant Secretary, and (5) ongoing advocacy of child health programs, through a presidential council. Two papers are attached which compare various proposals for national health insurance.

AN - 64300833; ED049675 AB - The 1960's were a time of constantly growing federal support for higher education, a trend which has not continued into the 1970's. From a feeling that the university could do no wrong, there is now a sense of public disenchantment. The growth of university revenues has slowed, students are disinterested and even alienated, and there is a sense of crisis. Financial problems are increasing as enrollments continue to increase, and it appears that universities have lost their sense of mission. Reforms are needed and it is the responsibility of the Federal government and higher education jointly to resolve some of the problems. Foremost are the financial problems facing the universities. In coping with these problems the Federal government will be guided by at least 4 basic principles: (1) the responsibility to equalize opportunity for all Americans to receive a higher education; (2) Federal support for diversity in higher education; (3) Federal support for an enhancement of the independence of colleges and universities; and (4) the need to determine Federal support of higher education in the light of national needs for the skills that higher education produces.

AN - 61833665; ED051245 AB - National results for writing, one of the three subject areas assessed during the first year of data collection by National Assessment, are presented in this volume. National results for the other two subjects, science and citizenship, are presented in separate volumes. The purpose of this project is to explore whether an assessment of educational outcomes is possible, and, if so, to develop the plan and methods for conducting it. The Educational Testing Service (ETS) of Princeton, N.J., developed the objectives and exercises in writing, working with subject matter experts and others concerned with educational planning. Four broad objectives were defined: (1) write to communicate adequately in a social situation, (2) write to communicate adequately in a business or vocational situation, (3) write to communicate adequately in a scholastic situation, (4) appreciate the value of writing. Examples of types of behaviors expected at each of the four age levels (ages 9, 13, 17 and adults) are spelled out. The percentage of respondents who were able to complete each writing task successfully is shown. A number of writing tasks were given at more than one age and thus allow comparisons between ages. Results of these comparisons are given. The exercises reported here show what people at four age levels know, what they can do, and what their attitudes are in one subject area, writing. Five appendices are included. For related document, see TE 002 475.

THREE TYPES OF CARBOHYDRATES ARE FOUND IN COMPOSTABLE MATERIAL: SUGARS, STARCH, AND CELLULOSE. THESE CONSTITUENTS DECREASE WITH THE AGE OF THE COMPOST. BY THE TIME THE STARCH IN THE ORGANIC MATERIAL HAS VANISHED, THE COMPOST HAS AN ACCEPTABLE APPEARANCE AND ODOR, HAS PASSED ITS HIGH TEMPERATURE STAGE AND HAS REACHED ITS MAXIMUM PH. THE TEST PROPOSED IS BASED ON THE FORMATION OF THE STARCH-IODINE COMPLEX. DEPENDING ON THE FORM IN WHICH THE STARCH IS FOUND, A CHARACTERISTIC COLOR IS FORMED. AMYLOSE GIVES AN INTENSE BLUE-BLACK COLOR; AMYLOPECTIN GIVES FROM LIGHT BLUE TO PURPLE TO RED COLORS, DEPENDING ON THE DEGREE OF BRANCHING; AND, GLYCOGEN GIVES REDDISH-BROWN COLORS. THE COLOR SEQUENCE NORMALLY FOLLOWED AS THE AGE OF THE COMPOST INCREASES IN BLUE-BLACK TO LIGHT BLUE TO GREY TO GREEN TO YELLOW. THE FINISHED COMPOST TESTS TO A YELLOW COLOR. THE PROCEDURES FOR COLLECTING AND PREPARING THE COMPOST SAMPLE, EXTRACTING ANY STARCH THAT MIGHT BE PRESENT AND CONDUCTING THE TEST ARE DISCUSSED AND POSSIBLE VARIATIONS IN THE RESULTS DISCUSSED. THE STARCH-IODINE TEST OFFERS A QUICK, EASY AND RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE MEANS OF DETERMINING THE DEGREE OF MATURATION OF COMPOST. MORE WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE IN TESTING THIS PROCEDURE ON DIFFERENT COMPOST PRODUCTS UNDER DIFFERING CONDITIONS. (GOESSLING-TEXAS) JF - COMPOST SCIENCE, VOL 11, NO 6, NOVEMBER-DECEMBER, 1970.

AN - 64249364; ED055786 AB - This publication, written for citizens and professional educators, releases about 40 percent of the data describing what groups of Americans know and can do in the area of science. Nine-year old elementary (28,000), thirteen-year old junior high (28,000), and senior high students were tested. In addition 10,000 adults, ages 26-35, were involved. Four major objectives assessed included: (1) Fundamental Facts and Principles of Science, (2) Abilities and Skills Needed to Engage in the Process of Science, (3) Understanding the Nature of Science, Attitudes and Appreciations of Scientists, Science, and (4) the Consequences of Science that Stem from Adequate Understandings. Data were analyzed to yield information regarding: (1) four geographic regions, (2) four sizes of communities, (3) four types of communities, (4) sex, and (5) levels of parents education. Appendices include the development of the National Assessment Exercises, Definition of Terms, Structure of Sampling and Weighting, and Data for Nine Selected Science Exercises. There is no attempt in this report to discuss whether these results show that the status of science education and knowledge in the United States is good or bad, or to make recommendations on the basis of these results.

AN - 64308772; ED053847 AB - The narrative portion of Chapter I identifies the study population as "those disabled disadvantaged who reside in areas where there are limitations and a lack of accessibility to both medical and vocational diagnostic and treatment facilities, vocational training or school facilities, public and private social service agencies and personnel, and employment opportunities." Disability is defined as "a physical or mental condition which materially limits, contributes to limiting or, if not corrected, will probably result in limiting an individual's activities or functioning." As discussed in Chapter II, some of the major problems relevant to providing rehabilitation services to the rural disabled disadvantaged are administrative concerns such as limitations in staff, monies, and medical resources; agency shortages; lack of remedial services; paucity of on-the-job training opportunities; transportation and housing limitations; lack of educational and employment opportunities; and client and counselor attitudinal barriers. Chapter III discusses techniques in the delivery of services to the rural disabled; one such technique is utilization of existing agents and agencies within the rural setting: state agricultural extension services, state employment agencies, community action programs, Veterans' Administration, and public health departments. Among the selected projects and programs discussed are those attempting to overcome such barriers as transportation difficulties, lack of facilities and professional personnel, and isolation. References, selected readings, and an annotated bibliography are appended. (JB) AU - Hutchinson, John D.

A review committee with an intergovernmental agency membership reports these water quality changes: (1) In open water there has been a deterioration of water quality in terms of threshold odor, oil and grease. Total phosphorus levels remain the same and other parameters show an improvement or no change. (2) In the inner harbor basin water quality has decreased because of grease and oil levels. Most other parameters, including total phosphorus, show little or no change. (3) No significant change is found in shore water. (4) Waters of the Grand Calumet River east to the Indiana Harbor Canal show improvement in most parameters. (5) Waters of the Grand Calumet River west to Illinois have deteriorated. (6) In the Little Calumet River west to Illinois, in Wolf Lake and in the Calumet River along the lake side of the O'Brien locks there has been no significant change except for bacterial water quality deterioration at Hammond Beach on Wolf Lake and a slight improvement at the mouth of the Calumet River.

They arrived at objectives (differing for the age levels of 9, 13, and 17, and for adults) which they considered appropriate for a national assessment in literature: (1) Read literature of excellence (implying an acquaintance with a wide variety of literary works and an understanding of the basic metaphors and themes through which man has expressed his values and tensions in Western culture). (2) Become engaged in, find meanings in, and evaluate a work of literature. (3) Develop a continuing, independent intellectual and emotional interest, curiosity, and participation in literature and the literary experience.

The six major reading objectives, appropriate for age-groups 9, 13, 17, and young adults, are the abilities to comprehend, analyze, use, reason from, make judgments about, and have attitudes about reading materials. Three categories of reading material were considered in formulating the objectives: literature, academic and expository writing, and utilitarian writing.

(Working Copy). AN - 64305074; ED046530 AB - Forum 14 advocates the development of flexible policies for variant family forms and legislative programs which are responsive to family needs whether the family is a single parent, nuclear family, or some other form. Human service systems must be built around people; families should not be expected to fit into mass produced formal systems based on the principle of least cost and on the presumed expertise of the professional. A family's main tasks are to develop capacities to socialize children, to enhance the competence of family members to cope with the demands of bureaucratic organizations, to use these organizations and to provide satisfactions and a mentally healthy environment. The forum recommends the initiation of an "Institute for the Study of the Family" to conduct research into family needs and to create marriage and family living institutes at universities to increase the effectiveness of specialists and professionals. The forum further advocates the examination and reordering of current systems and legislation, including a review every five years evaluating HEW on the inter-agency level to insure quality child care.

(Working Paper). AN - 64305028; ED046534 AB - Prejudicial attitudes are commonplace in our society, and they adversely affect all of our children. Children of a minority or poor group are directly affected because they are likely to suffer hunger, poor health and housing, and inadequate schools. White, middle class children are affected in ways which are less obvious, but just as damaging. In trying to resolve the conflict between what institutions preach about the brotherhood of man, and what these same institutions teach by example through violating concepts of love and justice, these children may develop unhealthy and undesirable attitudes and behavior patterns. Minority races and poor people are not the only targets of prejudice. The physically and mentally handicapped, members of minority religions, females, and the aged suffer as well. Forum 18 views these prejudicial attitudes as a serious threat to our society, whose strength depends upon full opportunity for all. The Forum makes several specific recommendations for governmental change, spearheaded by the President of the United States, in the areas of education, housing, health, and civil rights.

They need an environment that gives them many kinds of experiences, that provides both privacy and opportunities to form social bonds, and that is enriched by beauty. To provide such an environment for our children, we must also provide it for adults. Unfortunately, our public policies and programs have shaped a world which is inhospitable to both. Policies for land use, transportation, taxation, zoning, and housing have limited opportunities for cooperation among groups segregated by these policies. One of our major national goals should focus on planning and providing for an environment that is good in every sense for the creative growth of both children and adults. We recommend the establishment of a standing Commission for the Coming Generation. The Commission would take a broad view of national policies and programs--not only those specifically directed toward children--and act as an advocate for the young in all fields.

We like to think of America as a child-oriented society but, in fact, our priorities lie more in the pursuit of affluence, and the worship of material things and technology. A broken television set or a broken computer may provoke more indignation and more action than a broken family or a broken child. New national goals should be pursued by many different parts of our society to enhance the quality of life for America's children. Adult-child interaction must be increased on all levels. To benefit children and families, specific recommendations are presented which can be undertaken by private industry and small businesses, the mass media, the community, schools, federal, state and local governments, and individual families.

(Working Copy). AN - 64304389; ED046523 AB - Traditionally-expressed American values include health, personal dignity, freedom of choice, respect for the rights and humanity of others, the right to love and be loved. A big gap exists, in many instances, between values professed and values actually lived in pursuit of "success." Our children know this, and the result has been a sense of confusion, of frustration, and of alienation, often resulting in embitterment and dropping out. This forum affirms these principles: (1) that society accept the right of persons to pursue life styles that differ from the American mainstream, so long as others are not hurt; and (2) that every child has the right to optimum development. To achieve these goals, general recommendations are made concerning family, media, school, religion, research, and the role of government. Institutions should judge the effects of their policies on the lives of children and correct any practices which belie the values they profess. An appendix comprising one half of the paper gives responses of 10- to 12-year-olds, from three sections of the country, to a Social Values Inventory.

Our culture, our environment, and our communication (interpersonal and mass media) are more pervasive factors. An overwhelming urgency exists for revolutionary changes in both the schools and society. The President and the U.S. Office of Education must advocate policy decisions to stimulate communication with creative community resource persons, to develop the creative potential in teachers and teachers-in-training, to establish a National Institute for Creativity, and to nurture development of new sources for creative education beginning with the burgeoning field of early childhood, becoming an integral and pertinent part of the educational program in the schools and culminating in aesthetic education available for the general population.

We, as a nation, have failed to emphasize the importance of leisure experiences upon the individual. The prime obstacles have been two prejudicial attitudes: (1) that leisure is intrinsically less worthy than work, and (2) that survival skills are more worthy than those activities enjoyed for their own sake. A variety of leisure options should exist in the home, at school, and in the community. Our country has provided, at best, an uncoordinated patchwork of public, private, commercial, and voluntary programs that may neglect the less affluent child. One basic national goal should be to design a total leisure climate to facilitate growth in every child. Specific recommendations to accomplish this goal include having the government initiate policies to plan and deliver leisure opportunities for children, making more effective use of mobile and portable units to extend cultural and recreational opportunities into rural and urban environments, having universities develop proper attitudes concerning leisure and leisure proficiencies in their students, and expanding research and development endeavors in the area.

AN - 64301964; ED046520 AB - This book of charts of comparative statistics was compiled to help the 1970 White House Conference on Children evaluate past efforts to improve the well-being of America's children. First, it presents data about aspects of the world into which American children are born, such as population, urbanization, income levels, incidence of disease, divorce and death rates, and pollution levels. It then deals in successive sections with four major stages of child development through age 3: the prenatal period, the first year of life, the preschool years between ages one and six, and the school years. Because the child is treated as an entity, the most important aspects of each age grouping, such as health, education, and family life are presented together in each section. Many three-color charts and graphs illustrate the text. Illustrations are cross-referenced to an appendix (comprising more than half the book) of detailed tables of the data on which the text and charts are based. It is noted that there are some unavoidable gaps in the statistics with regard to minority groups such as Spanish-Americans, Orientals, and American Indians. Improvements in data collection will, hopefully, make such information available to future Conferences.

First, the traditional definition of injury should be expanded to include psychological, sociological, and environmental factors leading to children's injuries. Second, approaches to preventing and treating injuries cannot be separated from the environments with which children constantly interact. Third, children must be given higher priority, both by government and private enterprise, at all levels throughout the nation. The following recommendations are made: (1) that governmental units closest to the neighborhood select persons to be trained in problem-solving techniques and informed about available resources related to children's injuries; (2) that governments, aided by private and volunteer organizations, develop programs of training and ongoing consultation for those community workers; (3) that a cabinet level position with major responsibility for children and youth be considered; and (4) that Congress establish a permanent staff to study problems related to children and their environments.

Knowledge of the developmental needs and characteristics of children must be the foundation for action and policy by government and other agencies and institutions--national, state and local. Children have the right to grow up in a society which respects the dignity of life, the right to be born healthy and wanted, the right to grow up in nurturing family and community environments, the right to be educated to capacity, and the right to have societal mechanisms effect the foregoing rights. Three major concerns must guide the development of any recommendations designed to secure the rights of children: (1) commitment to children as a primary factor, (2) commitment to individualize care of children by all persons serving them, and (3) special concern for the mental and physical health of minority children.

(Working Copy). AN - 64301000; ED046524 AB - In this nation, the right to learn what there is to be learned has been denied because of prejudices and adherence to unproductive teaching techniques. There has been too little acceptance of advanced practices. Federally funded experimental schools must be initiated as alternatives to present learning modes and for the development of exemplar models of philosophy and practice. Learning must become an end in itself, an individual choice, implying an individual definition of success. Modern technology will be implemented for flexible scheduling and progress rates. Acknowledging the growing emphasis on television in the home, the forum suggests each home could house computers and microfilm libraries. "School" will focus on human interaction and the ability to know oneself. Teachers will be engaged in preparing computerized lessons, evaluating programs, and counseling; therefore, funds must be allocated for redesign of teacher education. The achievement of this program means commitment backed by resources and action. The report recommends massive expenditures of federal funds for the development of forward-looking practices and learning options and suggests that the nation's 200th birthday, 1976, be made an occasion for nationwide dialogue about our whole learning situation.

(Working Copy). AN - 64300956; ED046532 AB - Few actions of the next decade will be more pertinent to the welfare of America's children than what we do about two of the most basic determinants of the quality of life of our children and their families--distribution of income among families in and by our society and size of the family and of our society. In regard to these fundamental issues, four challenges to the seventies emerge: (1) achievement of more equitable distribution of family income, (2) helping children and their families understand the full meaning of human sexuality and family planning in their lives, (3) making family planning services available to all Americans by 1974 and (4) stabilization of a population figure for our nation. Before any of the forum recommendations can become a reality, two fundamental shifts in economic direction must occur (reallocation of national expenditures from military uses and restructuring the distribution of government income from federal to state levels). Only then can federally financed and administered systems of income support, supportive human services, family planning services, and a population stabilization figure be realized.

AN - 64300909; ED046538 AB - This forum suggests the initiation of a federally funded National System of Child Advocacy including a presidentially-appointed council to recommend legislation, provide for and report on the welfare and progress of children. The national council, composed of parents as well as professionals, would support neighborhood child advocate councils by providing funding and acting as national spokesmen. The advocate himself would be an empathetic administrator with access to social, economic, and legal resources. He would work to secure the individual child's basic needs through his staff of professionals and lay volunteers. An advocate might specifically concentrate on strengthening parental concern, securing basic child rights in the school, improving relationships with law enforcers, courts, and working with other child care agencies. The National Council would establish an information center for classifying materials on child care problems. A pilot program to establish guidelines would be a first step towards an advocacy program.

AN - 64300614; ED046522 AB - The focus of Forum 3 was to recommend action-oriented programs to help the school-age child find and use already-existing community resources to help him develop a positive identity. Specifically, the following components are recommended: (1) The Cultural Voucher system, in which children ages 3 to 16 would be able to purchase enriching goods and services, with the help of a Cultural Broker, or adviser. (2) An Environmental Planning Commission, composed of persons trained in design and child development, who could help direct city planning to make the city a better place for children to live, to play, and to learn. (3) The Gatekeeper or Second Family, a helping family or person to whom children can turn for help in problem solving when the parent is inappropriate or unavailable. (4) The Artist-Teacher in the School, a program which would involve community artists in the educational system, making the creative process an integral part of learning. (5) Support for Cross-Age Tutoring Programs, which help both the older and the younger youths involved, in learning and identity formation. The underlying philosophy of the recommendations of this forum is that what is needed is not more available activities, but more genuine ways of being and of relating to other people.

Several population groups in our country are subject to unusual health hazards and have particular need for health care. Poor children, expectant mothers, young infants, handicapped and emotionally disturbed children, and children of migrant workers are the especially vulnerable groups. The social pathology of narcotic addiction, prejudice, understimulation, violence, and indifference to human needs constitutes other pressing problems that threaten the quality of physical and emotional health in our society. A high priority should be set on the development and delivery of needed services to insure immediate access to decent care for the most vulnerable groups. Other recommendations call for acceptance of national standards for preventive health services, manpower augmentation, research in the health sciences, adequate income, good nutrition, improved housing, and a reinstitutionalization reconstruction of the systems for delivering human services as a national commitment.

(Working Copy). AN - 64300061; ED046521 AB - This forum identified some of the factors influencing the emergence of identity during the critical childhood years. To help a child develop a healthy identity which is both favorable and realistic, he must be taught almost from birth about his own individuality. The many aspects of total identity include family, physical self, sex, ethnic and cultural, religious, and intellectual identity. Some major obstacles to the emergence of healthy identities include a variety of widely held cultural assumptions contrary to present-day evidence concerning the nature of child development. These assumptions, typical behaviors fostered by them, and their identity outcomes are listed in Appendix A. Forum 2 participants recommend (1) the initiation of a "Sesame Street" type of TV program for parents, which would teach child development principles and give practical suggestions for daily child care; and (2) the establishment of child-oriented environmental commissions on national and local levels, which would help plan, inspect, and improve projects which try to meet the needs of children. Additional recommendations are given in Appendix B.

AN - 64300001; ED046533 AB - When properly funded and provided with adequate educational, health, and other needed resources, day care programs can make an important contribution to the life of many American families. For a variety of reasons, present services for providing supplementary child care are insufficient. To respond to the changes in our national life style, we must develop a network of supplementary child care facilities readily available to all families with children flexible enough to be part of a family's life, and good enough to promote full development of our nation's children. As a start toward such a system, this forum recommends establishing and allocating the total of financial commitment needed for day care, developing a preventive approach to children's needs and problems, mobilizing continuing public support for day care, and coordinating operational procedures at federal, state, and local levels.

(Working Copy). AN - 64298349; ED046526 AB - Forum 8 is concerned with obstacles to educational reform which are based on obsolete myths. Forum members urgently advocate alternatives to the traditional public school approach. Since the idea that there is "one best way" to educate is one of the myths, reform must be fluid enough to accommodate individual student style, attitude, and readiness. This report proposes such reform and includes: (1) a brief analysis of the content of several myths considered; (2) an explanation of the educational consequences of maintaining the status quo based on those false assumptions; (3) a look at the evidence which undermines the myth's validity; and in some cases (4) consideration of possible alternatives. Encouraging a variety of alternative educational models, the forum recommends new public school systems independent of state and local regulations, open education approaches, open enrollment policies, and cross-age classroom patterns. With parents and teachers joining together, existing regulations and requirements must be suspended to provide sufficient autonomy for experimentation. The report includes an appendix of the myths discussed and an extensive bibliography of references used.

It is an information-gathering program designed to provide both the educational community and the lay public with information about some of the direct outcomes of education as they are exhibited in students and young adults. The ten areas selected for assessment are Art, Career and Occupational Development, Citizenship, Literature, Mathematics, Music, Reading, Science, Social Studies, and Writing. Criteria of the National Assessment Committee in the setting of assessment of objectives include: (1) The objectives must be satisfactory goals for each subject area as seen by subject matter specialists; (2) The objectives must be ones which currently are accepted as goals of American education by most schools; and (3) The objectives must be ones which are acceptable to thoughtful lay adults as reasonable goals of American education.

AN - 64360618; ED037317 AB - The National Advisory Committee on Dyslexia and Related Reading Disorders explored in some depth the magnitude and nature of the reading problems which prevail among school and adult populations today. The group examined scientific papers and worked to analyze the dimensions and directions of existing programs in the field. Attention was paid primarily to the problems manifested by those individuals who, in spite of apparently adequate intelligence and emotional stability, exhibit difficulties in learning to read within a teaching program that proves effective for most children. Fifteen percent of the total school population today are considered members of this group. The committee decided that they could not arrive at a definition of dyslexia which would receive general acceptance, so they addressed themselves to the general problem of reading disorders. The group reviewed the magnitude and impact of this problem, the nature of the disorders, and remedial programs and procedures which now exist. They also proposed certain steps toward the development of a national program whose ultimate objective would be to assure that every child in this country who has the ability will learn to read.

A Report from the Study Group on Rehabilitation of Individuals with Behavioral Disorders. A Training Guide. AN - 64254387; ED059376 AB - To develop guidelines for the identification of behavioral disorders and devise more effective means for working with people classified as having behavioral disorders, a study group reviewed knowledges and experiences of group members, conducted a literature study, and surveyed 91 state vocational rehabilitation agencies with respect to: (1) guidelines directed to staff for providing services, (2) approaches followed in obtaining evaluations, (3) number of clients with behavioral disorders who were rehabilitated, (4) programs and delivery systems utilized by the agencies in serving clients, and (5) urgent needs and greatest barriers in serving clients with behavioral disorders. The survey revealed that a diversity of programs were taking place on a broad base with varying degrees of success. However, it is unclear who should properly be identified as having a behavior disorder. A review of the issues in counseling approaches suggests that the traditional approach is based upon underlying assumptions of questionable validity, and criticisms have been leveled against inappropriate use of the medical model, diagnostics, and middle-class conceptions of counseling. In terms of training needed by counselors, aides, supervisors, and administrators, several techniques based on experiences of the study group are presented. (SB) AU - Wolfe, Richard R.

It is not in itself a social report, but a step toward the development of a social report and a comprehensive set of social indicators. These could not only satisfy curiosity about how we are doing, they could also improve public policy making by: 1) providing more visability to social problems and, 2) making possible better evaluation of public programs. The report deals with such areas as: health and illness; social mobility; the condition of the physical environment; including pollution and housing; income and poverty; public order and safety; learning, science, and art; and participation and alienation. An appendix discusses how we can do better social reporting in the future by pointing out how current statistics are deficient for this purpose, and indicating the specific ways in which social indicators can be used to determine public policy.

Recommendations were made by the commission and a set of priorities was established. A thorough study was made of persons in the various disability categories and of the prevalence of those who were eligible for state aid. About 490,000 had some disability in 1965. Mental retardation (128,000), cardiac (100,000), and orthopedic (93,800) were the most frequently mentioned. Of the total, around 103,000 were eligible for state aid. The planning organization and method of operation are outlined in detail, as well as the findings and recommendations. Many tables which provide data about the rehabilitation population, programs, and services are included in the report, and a selected bibliography is appended. Volume I which provides information on the various recommendations, reasons for recommendations, and the planning organization is available as VT 010 284.

Final Report, Volume I. AN - 64359543; ED036634 AB - A commission was established in Virginia in February 1967 to determine the vocational rehabilitation requirements up to 1975 and to develop a statewide plan to meet these needs. A variety of sources were utilized such as surveys, testimony of experts, past caseload experience, and population projections. This information was used to estimate future needs and an evaluation was made of current programs and resources. The recommendations were formulated in a plan which set up priorities in five categories which were action, immediate, soon, interim, and long-range. The time schedules for these programs varied from action projects which were in progress to long range which had a completion data of from 4 to 7 years.

A Report to the Secretary of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. AN - 64292441; ED050185 AB - The Parent Participation Task Force appointed in December 1967 by the administrators of the Office of Education, Public Health Services, and the Social and Rehabilitation Service to study parent participation and suggest policy recommendations, has recommended that the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare sponsor and promote increased participation of parents in all programs that serve children and youth and/or the parents themselves, and which receive Federal aid from this Department. Such participation includes membership of parents on advisory committees, opportunities for parents to serve as volunteers and employees, and a family-centered focus and maximum coordination of services in health, education, and welfare programs designed to serve children and youth. Particular emphasis should be placed on programs for poor families and those of minority-group status. It is necessary to develop programs that strengthen the family unit, which is under many diverse stresses and pressures, including the competition of government agencies in providing services which it formerly provided exclusively. Concommitant with the new approaches required to give all families a significant and secure place in the community, evaluation components should be built into programs.

The very specific social and medical needs of the alcoholic, coupled with personal, social and treatment agency barriers, are viewed as the major feasibility (for treatment outcome) factors. The report recommends six major treatment approaches: (1) acute detoxification; (2) chronic detoxification; (3) environmental manipulation; (4) supportive therapy; (5) internal change therapy; and (6) treatment for the counter-alcoholic. In the concluding chapter, a cooperative program concept for providing services to the alcoholic is preferred. A coordination of all needed services in an intensive comprehensive program is seen to be the only method from which successful rehabilitation can be expected.

AN - 64455549; ED020810 AB - THE SCHOOLS ARE ACCUSED OF HAVING FAILED IN EDUCATING THE MEXICAN AMERICAN CHILD. ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS UNDERLYING THIS FAILURE IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO AN ANGLO AMERICAN POINT OF VIEW WHICH DISCOURAGES DIVERSE CULTURES IN OUR SOCIETY. THIS SAME POINT OF VIEW REFLECTS THE NOTION THAT THE AMERICAN CULTURE IS SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHER CULTURAL BACKGROUNDS. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT MEXICAN AMERICAN CHILDREN MUST LEARN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE BUT SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REJECT THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF THE SPANISH LANGUAGE OR MEXICAN AMERICAN CUSTOMS. IT IS FURTHER SUGGESTED THAT CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION BE CONDUCTED IN OTHER LANGUAGES. REASONING FOR THIS APPROACH IS THE IMPROVEMENT OF OUR FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC RELATIONS. IN ORDER FOR THE SCHOOLS TO PROMOTE RESPECT FOR DIVERSE CULTURES, THEY MUST HAVE LEADERSHIP AND PROPER DIRECTION IN THE USE OF ADDITIONAL MONEY BEING MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH FEDERAL AND STATE AID. THIS ADDRESS WAS DELIVERED BEFORE THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR MEXICAN-AMERICANS (AUSTIN, APRIL 25, 1968).

AN - 64411777; ED023843 AB - This report, required by section 233 of the Manpower Development and Training Act, opens with the chapter, "Adapting to Economic Change," which comments on major program changes during 1967, all of which relate to increasing the proportion of hard-core unemployed in the program. The chapters, "The Range of Training," and "The Means of Training," discuss the variety of skills taught, educational offerings, supportive services, personnel developments, teaching methods and materials, and equipment and facilities for manpower training. "National Programs and Services" reviews programs for Redevelopment Area Residents and the increasing proportion of training being conducted under national contracts with employer, trade, or nonprofit groups. The manpower program's contribution to development of improved training methods and the institutional training aspects of experimental and demonstration projects are considered in "Innovations and Experiments." The final chapter is "Evaluating Training." Six recommendations concern (1) resources for effective training of the hard-core disadvantaged, (2) more stable funding, (3) improved staff resources, (4) placement services, (5) medical aid, and (6) extending the National Manpower Advisory Committee's functions. Statistical tables, the "Report of the Advisory Council on Vocational Education," and a list of national contractors are in the appendixes.

Kennedy by the United States Commissioner of Education gives two principles which guide federal efforts in providing special help for educational problems common to all regions and in setting priorities for federal investment. Five priorities for federal financial support of programs for the handicapped are discussed; research in and refinement of techniques for identification and new knowledge of handicapped children (Research and Development Centers); rapid dissemination of educational information (Instructional Materials Centers); the need fo r trained teachers of the handicapped (traineeships and fellowships); development of programs for mentally and physically handicapped culturally deprived children to reduce imbalance in quality education present in this country; and the need for a proper physical environment for special education classes and schools (a consideration of school design, classroom placement, flexibility of spatial arrangements, and special instructional materials and equipment). Greater state contribution to programs for the handicapped and the cooperation of public and private agencies are recommended. The goal of educational opportunity in this country is described as including the handicapped as well as minorities and the majority.

There the author finds no comparable trend toward early retirement, and in some cases finds encouragement of workers to remain in the labor force beyond age 65. It is suggested that there may be advantages, both to the individual worker and to the economy, in distributing (and therefore financing) added leisure within the framework of working life, possibly through longer vacation periods, retraining programs, and shorter work weeks. The document includes a chart, 12 tables, and notes on census data for comparisons between and within countries over time with respect to labor force activity rates. (ly) AU - Kreps, Juanita M.

In a counseling session, youngsters discuss their experiences, feelings, and ideas under the guidance of a leader. Group counseling is recognized as an effective means of reaching hard-to-reach youth. It is hoped that through sharing, former attitudes may be altered or replaced by ones that are more acceptable to society. The publication stresses careful planning prior to the incorporation of group counseling. The booklet contains discussions of various aspects of the leader's role including: What does the leader represent to the group? What are his responsibilities to the members? What are the leader's goals for the group? How does he steer the members toward these goals? Group Counseling calls for an investment and dedication in time and effort on the parts of those involved.

Government functioning is complicated by (1) diffusion of responsibility through various agencies other than HEW and within HEW through agencies other than the Public Health Service, (2) inadequate provision for coordinating the health activities of the numerous agencies, (3) further diffusion, compartmentalization, and lack of coordination at the state and local levels, (4) inadequacy of regional approaches, and (5) the shortage of qualified health manpower. Included in the 29 comprehensive recommendations for strengthening the local, state, or federal health partnership are the (1) transfer of Office of Economic Opportunity demonstration projects to HEW Administration after they have proved their Health Manpower, and (3) expansion of training programs for supporting personnel along with guidance, student aid, and eacher education programssupported by the Office of Education.

Speeches were given on commitment to the rehabilitation of criminal offenders, how this rehabilitation can be achieved, and the shortage of manpower in the correctional field. Most sessions of the meeting were devoted to meetings of advisory committees. Aspects of correctional manpower and training studied by these nine task forces were: prospects and perspectives in corrections; manpower in the correctional process from specialized fields, such as psychiatry, law, and recreation; manpower in the emerging profession of the correctional generalist; administrative, research, and management personnel; utilization of volunteers and other special personnel; manpower in correctional institutions; manpower in community-based programs; inservice training, recruitment, and retention of personnel; and community, state, interstate, and national action.

AN - 733747812; 18959923 AB - Relatively large amounts of alkylated derivatives of the polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons are present in some urban atmospheres. These compounds are believed to be derived from industrial sources. Because alkylation of the tetracyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can confer carcinogenic activity on the derivatives, the presence of substantial amounts of these alkylated compounds in the air needs thorough study. The R(F) value and the retention time, by themselves, are inadequate for characterisation of the polynuclear compounds. Gasliquid chromatography followed by fluorometric examination of the eluent bands, and mixed-adsorbent two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography followed by direct fluorometric examination are very useful in characterising all types of organic compound in the organic fractions of airborne particulates and effluents from air pollution sources.

AN - 64461616; ED019401 AB - THIS REPORT PRESENTS THE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DIMENSIONS OF THE MANPOWER DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING ACT PROGRAMS FOR 1965. FROM AUGUST 1962, WHEN TRAINING UNDER THE MANPOWER ACT BEGAN, THROUGH DECEMBER 1965, MORE THAN 10,000 INSTITUTIONAL, ON-THE-JOB, AND EXPERIMENTAL AND DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS WERE APPROVED TO SERVE OVER 625,000 PEOPLE. THE MANPOWER PROGRAM OPERATES IN ALL 50 STATES AND IN FOUR TERRITORIES. INSTITUTIONAL TRAINING IS THE LARGEST SEGMENT OF THE TRAINING PROGRAM. BY THE END OF 1965, APPROVAL HAD BEEN GIVEN TO 7,625 INSTITUTIONAL PROJECTS TO TRAIN 435,700 PERSONS, AND MORE THAN 345,000 HAD BEEN ENROLLED. IN ADDITION, ALMOST 3,000 ON-THE-JOB TRAINING PROJECTS HAD BEEN APPROVED FOR 104,000 MEN AND WOMEN, AND 164 EXPERIMENTAL AND DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS FOR 88,000 TRAINEES. THE TOTAL NUMBER OF PERSONS APPROVED FOR TRAINING EXCEEDS THE ORIGINAL GOALS SET BY THE CONGRESS FOR THE FIRST 3 YEARS OF THE ACT. MANPOWER TRAINING CENTERS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED IN AN ATTEMPT TO SOLVE THE PRACTICAL PROBLEMS OF TRAINING MANY PEOPLE WITH DIVERSE CHARACTERISTICS IN A VARIETY OF JOBS IN AN ECONOMICAL MANNER. THE SKILL CENTERS PROMISE TO BE ONE OF THE MOST EFFICIENT AND FLEXIBLE INSTRUMENTS FOR MANPOWER TRAINING. THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF THE MANPOWER PROGRAM HAS BEEN SATISFACTORY.

The 109 adult trainees met the following selection criteria: (1) head of 2 family or household, (2) unemployed or underemployed, (3) a resident of the State of Alabama, and (4) evidence of 2 years of employment some time in the past. The trainees were also characterized by: (1) low literacy, less than an 8th grade education, (2) low income, an annual family income of less than $3,000 with high levels of unemployment and underemployment, and (3) cultural limitations, life styles, thought forms, and institutional participation patterns which have been narrowly restricted. Counseling of trainees was devised as a feature of the research program and material presented in the report addresses the concerns of counselors who deal with comparable populations.

Report of the Departmental Task Force on Social Work Education and Manpower. AN - 64418178; ED029126 AB - The Task Force on Social Work Education and Manpower found that theory, practice, and administration within the social work field and public sanctions converge to identify the social worker as a person who, through knowledge, skill, and professional commitment, is equipped to assist individuals and groups enhance their social functioning or cope with problems of social adaptation. Despite this, the division of labor and the demands are not uniformly identified for social workers of differing educational preparation. The size of the social work manpower problem has been caused by the rapid population increase, increased urbanization and industrialization social problems, expansion of the demand and utilization of social services, and greater expectations of individuals for personal and social fulfillment. The need for social workers for Department of Health, Education, and Welfare programs is projected to be 100,000 persons by 1970. Many schools of social work are already full and new facilities are necessary to increase the supply of graduates. Administrative policy on licensure, manpower data collection, financial and career opportunities, job titles and qualifications, and educational programs need to be developed and implemented.

IT IS TRYING TO MAKE THE WHOLE SPECTRUM OF CHILD WELFARE SERVICES AVAILABLE TO THE CHILD IN HIS HOME IN ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE CHILD'S PROBLEM IS MENTAL RETARDATION OR CULTURAL DEPRIVATION. THE BUREAU IS ALSO ENCOURAGING INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING AND OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS TO UNDERTAKE PROJECTS WHICH MAY ADD NEW DIMENSIONS TO THE KINDS OF SERVICES WHICH COULD BE PROVIDED IN THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE.

Municipal water use by 15 principal communities in the basin is about 15 million gallons/day (mgd). Water quality of the upper reaches of the river generally is good, but downstream of Clarksburg acidic tributaries draining coal-mining areas degrade the quality of the main stem. Regulation of the streamflow by the Stonewall Jackson Reservoir could provide increased assured flows in the West Fork, Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers, and also improve oxygen concentrations, reduce hardness and acidity, and improve other water quality parameters. The Pittsburgh reach of the Monongahela receives the greatest waste load of the entire system, and summer flows as high as 4,000 cfs may be needed by 2010 to assimilate organic waste loads. As the proposed reservoir could provide only 4-17% of this requirement, other projects would be necessary. Storage needs and provision by the reservoir for various cities are discussed.

AN - 64465832; ED001922 AB - ACCORDING TO A NATIONAL SURVEY OF TEACHING FACULTY CONDUCTED BY THE U.S. OFFICE OF EDUCATION IN 1963, THERE ARE STRIKING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FACULTY EMPLOYED BY INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION ATTENDED PREDOMINANTLY BY WHITE STUDENTS AND THOSE ATTENDED PREDOMINANTLY BY NEGRO STUDENTS. NEGRO INSTITUTIONS IN 1962-63 COMPRISED ONLY 6 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL NUMBER. ALTHOUGH THE NUMBER OF NEGRO INSTITUTIONS AND FACULTY MEMBERS IS INCREASING, GROWTH IS NOT AS GREAT AS IT IS FOR ALL INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION. SCHOOLS OF HIGHER EDUCATION WITH PREDOMINANTLY NEGRO STUDENTS GENERALLY ARE SMALL AND ARE LOCATED IN THE SOUTHEAST. ONLY 76 OF THE TOTAL 105 NEGRO INSTITUTIONS ARE ACCREDITED, AND MANY OF THESE ONLY CONDITIONALLY. THE CORE OF ACCREDITED COLLEGES CONSISTS OF TWO GROUPS--ABOUT 27 COLLEGES SUPPORTED BY STATES, AND 32 CHURCH-SUPPORTED OR PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS. FACULTY IN NEGRO INSTITUTIONS HAVE MARKEDLY LOWER RANKS THAN THEIR COMPARABLE NUMBERS IN WHITE SCHOOLS. ASSISTANT, ASSOCIATE, AND FULL PROFESSORSHIPS WERE HELD BY 71 PERCENT OF NEGRO FACULTY MEMBERS AS COMPARED WITH 80 PERCENT IN WHITE INSTITUTIONS. FIFTY-ONE PERCENT OF THE FACULTY IN WHITE SCHOOLS HAVE EARNED A PH.D., ED.D., OR EQUIVALENT, COMPARED WITH 28 PERCENT IN NEGRO INSTITUTIONS. HIGHER PROPORTIONS OF WHITE TEACHERS ARE FOUND IN AREAS OF PHYSICAL SCIENCE, ENGINEERING, MATHEMATICS, AND BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES, NEGRO TEACHERS ARE PROPORTIONATELY HIGHER IN AREAS OF EDUCATION, ENGLISH, HOME ECONOMICS, AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION. THE PROPORTION OF WOMEN EMPLOYED BY NEGRO INSTITUTIONS IS TWICE AS HIGH AS THAT IN WHITE SCHOOLS. IN TERMS OF 1962-63 MEDIAN SALARIES, NEGRO INSTITUTIONS PAID $1,547 LESS THAN WHITE INSTITUTIONS FOR 9- TO 10-MONTH CONTRACTS. THIS ARTICLE IS A REPRINT FROM "INDICATORS," FEBRURAY 1965.

AN - 64448625; ED015993 AB - THIS COLLECTION CONTAINS SEVEN PAPERS OF ANALYSES OF WHITE-NONWHITE DIFFERENTIALS IN HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE. NONWHITES MAKE UP ALMOST 12 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION, 92 PERCENT OF WHOM ARE NEGROES. THE FERTILITY OF NONWHITES IS HIGHER, ESPECIALLY AMONG THE RURAL, LESS EDUCATED GROUP, BUT THE BIRTH RATE SEEMS TO BE FALLING FASTER, MOST NOTICEABLY IN URBAN AREAS. THERE IS A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EXTENT OF EDUCATION AND BIRTH RATE AMONG BOTH RACES, WHO HAVE COMPARABLE RATES WHEN THEIR EDUCATIONAL STATUS IS THE SAME. THE GAP BETWEEN NONWHITE AND WHITE LIFE EXPECTANCY HAS NARROWED TO 10 PERCENT, ALTHOUGH THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MATERNAL AND INFANT DEATH RATES REMAIN QUITE HIGH. THIS DIFFERENTIAL MAY BE EXPLAINED BY HEREDITARY FACTORS, THE AVAILABILITY AND UTILIZATION OF MEDICAL SERVICES, WHICH IN TURN IS RELATED TO SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS, AND PERSONAL MOTIVATION. DATA ALSO SHOW THAT THE RATE OF MEDICAL SERVICES AMONG NONWHITES IS LOWER THAN AMONG WHITES AND THAT FAMILY INCOME HAS A SIGNIFICANT ROLE. MORE NONWHITES THAN WHITES ARE BELOW GRADE LEVEL, DROP OUT MORE FREQUENTLY, ACHIEVE LESS ACADEMICALLY, AND COMPLETE FEWER YEARS OF SCHOOLING. NEGROES ARE ONLY 5.7 PERCENT OF THOSE RECEIVING HIGHER EDUCATION. THREE TIMES AS MANY NONWHITES AS WHITES HAVE AN INCOME LESS THAN $3,000 ANNUALLY. HOUSING CONDITIONS ARE TWICE AS GOOD FOR WHITES THAN FOR NONWHITES.

THIS INVESTIGATION IS CHARGED WITH DEVELOPING A COMPREHENSIVE WATER POLLUTION CONTROL PLAN FOR WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT IN THE DELAWARE ESTUARY. THE BASIC OBJECTIVES OF FORMULATING THE DELAWARE SYSTEM IN MATHEMATICAL TERMS WERE (1) TO DEVELOP AN EVALUATION OF THE CAUSE AND EFFECT RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT AND THE QUALITY OF WATER AND (2) TO UTILIZE A PORTION OF THIS EVALUATION TO DEVELOP A RATIONAL APPROACH TO THE ATTAINMENT OF VARIOUS WATER QUALITY GOALS. BOTH THESE OBJECTIVES ARE INDISPENSABLE TO THE TECHNIQUES OF COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING.

The method is based on the accumulation of zinc in the gills that precedes death due to acute exposure to zinc in the water. Thirty- to 90-day exposures to sublethal concentrations of zinc in water indicated that the opercular bone accumulates zinc at approximately the same rate as the gill tissue (including rakers and arch) but the operculum does not accumulate zinc as the gill does in acutely toxic exposures. By using the ratio of zinc in the gill to zinc in the bone (gill/bone ratio), a reasonably constant value is obtained for nonlethal exposures and for fish collected in the field. This value increases up to a hundredfold in acute exposures. Experimental exposures on five species of fish were made and the fish autopsied. Field samples of more than 1,000 fish of 22 species were analyzed and the data given. There is almost no overlap between the gill/bone ratios of normal fish from the field and experimental fish killed by zinc. One species, carp (Cyprinus carpio), could not be autopsied by examination of a few specimens. This method seems to be specific for zinc mortality, is not affected by small amounts of other toxicants or by disease, can be performed on partially decomposed fish, and does not necessitate the immediate removal of fish from the contaminated water.

I. OCCURRENCE OF INSECTICIDES IN RIVER AND TREATED MUNICIPAL WATER AN - 1827897088; PQ0003642605 AB - Insecticide contamination was studied in a stream from the summer of 1959 through the winter of 1962-63. The stream drains a 400-square-mile (1,036-km super(2)) watershed in northern Alabama, in which approximately 15,000 acres (6,070 ha) of cotton are cultivated annually. Estimates of insecticide usage on cotton varied from 58,000 lb technical (26.3 metric tons) in 1960 to 139,000 lb (63.0 metric tons) in 1962. Toxaphene, DDT, and BHC (benzene hexachloride) comprised over 90% of the insecticides used. Water was sampled by the carbon adsorption method at a municipal water treatment plant. The data are reported as concentrations of insecticide recovered. DDT was never detected, but toxaphene and BHC were detected in all samples. Toxaphene ranged from 7 to 410 parts per trillion (ppt), and BHC from 7 ppt to 1.0 part per billion (ppb). Samples of treated and untreated water showed that the purification process failed to remove toxaphene and BIIC. Samples taken in the summer of 1960 from the stream system indicated the same order of contamination observed at the water treatment plant. The data suggest that soil-persistent insecticides in the stream are related to levels of usage and to the solubility of the compounds.

II. THE ZOOPLANKTON, BOTTOM FAUNA, AND FISH AN - 1827893081; PQ0003642606 AB - In 1959 and 1960, zooplankton, bottom fauna, and fish populations were studied in a drainage system polluted with insecticides in northern Alabama. Toxaphene and BHC (benzene hexachloride) were present in all water samples collected in 1959 and 1960 in concentrations considered to be sublethal to aquatic animals in a single dose. There was no convincing evidence that continuous toxaphene and BHC contamination resulted in gross damage to zooplankton, bottom fauna, and fish populations. Zooplankton was sparse at all times. However, this scarcity was attributed to other unfavorable environmental conditions such as changes in discharge and high turbidity. A considerable variety of bottom fauna taxa was noted in all collections. There were fluctuations in the abundance of bottom fauna during the period of study. However, the data did not suggest that these were caused by insecticide contamination. Fish collections from two stations in June and September of 1959 and 1960 contained a variety of fishes represented by many size classes. There was additional evidence that the drainage system supported a sizable fish population of diverse taxonomic structure.

School Plant Administration Series. Bulletin, 1964, No. 23. OE-21023 AN - 1413416910; ED544141 AB - The increase in the population of the United States and the rapid movement of people from rural to urban areas continue to create many problems in the great cities. To solve them, immediate and long-range goals must be cooperatively established and striven for. Even though many of the legally constituted agencies such as the school systems, boards of health, highway departments, city planning commissions, and others are quite independent of one another, there is an essence of interdependence necessary to successful planning. Each agency would be in a better position to fulfill its own functions and objectives if it had an awareness of the problems of the other agencies. This study, an attempt to identify characteristic problems in planning school facilities in metropolitan central cities, is one effort to acquaint the various planning groups with at least one phase of this very important and overall community interest. The study was based on the information obtained through interviews with the general superintendents and/or the associate superintendents in charge of school facilities planning in the 50 largest cities in the United States. The interview guide that was used was prepared as the result of a 2-day conference at which the school planning authorities representing 13 of these cities discussed problems of greatest concern to them. Appended are the interview guide employed during the study, and a list of the Housing and Home Finance Agency regional offices. (Contains 38 footnotes and 1 table.)

Bulletin, 1964, No. 13. OE-53021 AN - 1413416881; ED544132 AB - Current information on the subject of board structure and function is being increasingly sought by many persons and agencies involved in public and nonpublic higher education, including boards and administrations of colleges and universities; educational agencies of religious bodies; legislative commissions; and governors and their executive agencies. This publication is designed to satisfy the need for more adequate and current information on interinstitutional coordination and control of nonpublic higher education. In essence, this study constitutes a description of the organization and functions of denominational boards and related agencies having governing, coordinating, supervisory, or other working relationships with groups of church-related colleges and universities. The purpose of the study is to give a comprehensive description and depth analysis of a limited number of these boards, and to identify problems, issue, strengths, and weaknesses in their structure and functions. The boards reported in the study vary widely in regard to the number and type of institutions with which they have working relationships, and in the nature and scope of their responsibilities to these institutions. They may thus be considered as constituting a broad sampling of church-related boards of higher education. Perhaps the most salient fact brought out in the study is that the denominational groups involved sense keenly the need to identify more clearly the relationships which do exist and those which should exist between the denomination, through its educational board or agency, and the institutions of higher education related to it.

State Educational Records and Reports Series: Handbook V. Bulletin, 1964, No. 39. OE-23035 AN - 1413416801; ED544166 AB - This bulletin provides a basic guide for the items of information to be used in pupil accounting in the local and State school systems of the United States. Meeting at the call of the U.S. Commissioner of Education in April 1960, a policy committee for the pupil accounting project defined the project's purpose as the development of a manual of items of information which would provide guidance for local school systems, State Departments of education, and the Office of Education. The introduction describes the benefits of standardized information about pupils; presents an overview of the manual and the series; and discusses adapting the handbook to local systems. The classification and definitions of pupil information items are found in Chapter 2, "Classification of Items of Information about Pupils," and Chapter 3, "Definitions of Items of Information about Pupils." As an aid to using these items, Chapter 4, "Obtaining and Using Information About Pupils," illustrates how pupil records and reports may be developed based upon these items, and discusses the uses of such records and reports. An alphabetical glossary of terms including measures relating to pupil accounting is found in Chapter 5. This handbook is the fifth in the State Educational Records and Reports Series, which includes: Handbook I, "The Common Core of State Educational Information" (1953); Handbook II, "Financial Accounting for Local and State School Systems" (1957); Handbook III, "Property Accounting for Local and State School Systems" (1959); and Handbook IV, "Staff Accounting for Local and State School Systems" (1964). A glossary of terms and an index are included. (Contains 6 footnotes and 3 tables.) [Best copy available has been provided.] AU - Putnam, John F. AU - Tankard, George G.

Bulletin, 1964, No. 26. OE-20060 AN - 1413416772; ED544144 AB - The national summer dropout campaign of 1963 was initiated by President Kennedy. Subsequent to a June 19 meeting at the White House of over 250 leading educators, another group of local administrators met with Federal officials to discuss possible actions that might be taken to reduce dropouts. The ensuing campaign began and ended within a span of only two months--August 1 to September 30. This bulletin provides: (1) Campaign Summary; (2) Conduct of Summer Campaigns, describing the types of programs initiated, organizing techniques, methods of identifying and contacting dropouts and potential dropouts and encouraging them to return to school, and several case studies; (3) Findings from Campaign, identifying the reasons for students dropping out and returning to school, and reactions of parents, counselors, teachers and administrators to the summer campaign; and (4) Promising Trends and Activities, showing adaptations schools made, and suggesting future activities. Appended is a brief summary of city-by-city campaign activities, arranged alphabetically by city. The hasty nature of the program produced certain flaws but cities participating in the program felt it was a remarkable success, not only for the numbers of students returning to school, but also the development of a heightened spirit of school-community cooperation.

Recent Experiments with Self-Supporting Educational Institutions. Bulletin, 1964, No. 24. OE-14100 AN - 1413416679; ED544142 AB - This study of experiments with a new type of educational institution in Communist China is based upon an analysis of materials from Chinese Communist newspapers and periodicals. Reliance upon a discriminating use of such materials is necessitated by the lack of impartial first hand evaluations of these new institutions by qualified outside observers. In preparing this study, general claims have been measured against the details in specific reports in an effort to piece together, from scattered accounts of varying comprehensiveness which are often vague and sometime contradictory, an intelligible record of the course of experimentation with new institutional forms. The Introduction defines the magnitude of the problem of educational development in mainland China. The first section, The Agricultural Middle Schools, explains the reasons for their establishment and describes their development from 1959 to 1962. The second section, The Half-Work, Half-Study Universities, describes their establishment and basic characteristics, identifies problems and criticisms encountered, and discusses the significance of this educational experiment. It is hoped that this study will help to clarify the Chinese Communist regime's approach to education, and some of the problems encountered in its attempt to mold an educational system suited to its economic and political needs and purposes.

Bulletin, 1964, No. 41. OE-56016 AN - 1413416649; ED544168 AB - This bulletin reports on the contributions of the Federal Government to the improvement of language and area studies. This report indicates that two fundamental conclusions have become readily apparent: (1) non-Western studies have received material assistance under the National Defense Education Act of 1958 (NDEA) without which the present high level of scholarly activity at 55 language and area centers would not have been possible and without which the increase in manpower trained in modern foreign languages would not have been effected; and (2) this has been accomplished without suggestion of Federal interference. In its assessment of the impact of NDEA on non-Western studies, this report has drawn heavily on the considerable body of literature now available on this subject. The present report covers the first 5 years of the NDEA language and area centers program, although for the fourth year (1963-64) some of the data are based on advance estimates rather than on final reports. Appendices include: (1) U.S. Office of Education Policy Bulletins on the NDEA Language and Area Centers Program (L. G. Derthick); (2) Statement of 53 University Foreign Language and Area Center Directors on Title VI of the National Defense Education Act, October 14, 1962; (3) A Survey of Intensive Programs in the Uncommon Languages, Summer 1962 (Henry M.

Bulletin, 1964, No. 4. OE-22021 AN - 1413416613; ED544109 AB - A growing interest in the use of nonproperty sources to replace an overburdened property tax, actually or psychologically, has been evident in recent years, particularly as school district levies have been running into stiff voter opposition. However, because school districts have relied on the property tax for their major and often sole source of local taxes for so long, there has been little development of information relative to nonproperty taxes for schools. The purpose of this study is to present some broad information on the possibilities of local nonproperty tax adoption and to bring together in a resource document as much information as possible on local nonproperty taxes and related problems. Information is organized in nine chapters: (1) Evolution of the Property Tax; (2) Future Revenue Sources for Schools; (3) Present Status of Nonproperty Tax Use by School Districts; (4) Analysis of Nonproperty Taxes; (5) Per Capita or Poll Taxes; (6) Income Taxes; (7) Sales Taxation; (8) Selective Sales Taxes; and (9) Application of Nonproperty Taxes to Local School Districts.

Bulletin, 1964, No. 1. OE-14087 AN - 1413416591; ED544107 AB - This study is the latest addition to a series of bulletins on education in foreign countries published by the U.S. Office of Education. The series is intended to fill multiple and increasing needs, both within and outside the Government; specifically, to provide assistance to registrars and admissions officers in their placement of foreign students, comprehensive data on foreign systems of education for comparative education and area specialists and scholars, and general information for a variety of individuals, groups, and programs. The present bulletin is the Office of Education's first one on education in Rumania, and the subject is presented in its historical and current political, economic, social, and cultural setting. The author has brought to the study painstaking scholarship and research in primary sources, including official documents; fluency in the Rumanian language; and a personal knowledge of the country before its conversion to a Communist state. He has used the most recent available sources, many of them in collections of the Library of Congress and the Office of Education. Some of the latter were acquired by the Office's Bureau of International Education through an informal exchange of publications with the Rumanian Ministry of Education. Others, comprising a set of Rumanian textbooks, were presented to the Bureau by the Ministry in 1960. This document is divided into nine chapters, as follows: (1) The Country's Background; (2) The Educational System; (3) Preprimary Education: Nurseries and Kindergartens; (4) General Education: Elementary and Secondary Schools; (5) Vocational and Technical Education; (6) Higher Education; (7) Teachers and the Teaching Profession; (8) Organizations for Children, Youths, and Adults; and (9) Evaluation and Conclusions. Appended are: (1) Textbooks Used in the 11-Year School of General Education, Rumanian People's Republic; (2) Glossary of Rumanian Terms Appearing in This Publication; (3) Tables Showing Changes in Rumanian Education between 1959-60 and 1961-62; and (4) Bibliography.

Bulletin, 1964, No. 40. OE-23036 AN - 1413416560; ED544167 AB - The purpose of this bulletin is to describe the current status of proposals for formalizing negotiation procedures between teachers and their boards of education, indicating some potential trends. The entire issue of collective negotiation by teachers remains of relatively recent origin in terms of interest on a national scale, and the directions which such formalized negotiation procedures will take must await a passage of time. Recent legislatures in a number of States have considered bills for the establishment of collective bargaining for teachers, for example. The interested State educational organizations in at least one State have cooperatively agreed upon some suggested guidelines and then differed upon the need for legislation to mandate them. Teachers and their boards of education in local school districts throughout the Nation are considering the advisability of a policy statement on the matter. Because of the significance which the formalization of board of education-teacher organization relationships might have for education in the decades ahead, this bulletin examines a few of the major practices, issues, problems, and possible trends. Appended are representative statements on board-staff relations which have been issued by national, State, and local education organizations, including: National Education Association; National Schools Boards Association; American Federation of Teachers; Committee on Working Relations Between Boards of Education and Teachers Organizations [Connecticut]; Norwalk, Connecticut; Denver, Colorado; Butte, Montana; Bremerton, Washington; and Champaign, Illinois.

OE-14106 AN - 1413416553; ED544165 AB - This bulletin chronicles the authors' visit to the Soviet Union, May 14-28, 1963, sponsored by the Ministry for Public Education of the R.S.F.S.R. and the Ministry of Higher and Specialized Secondary Education of the U.S.S.R. The purposes of the visit were to renew earlier contacts with Soviet educators and scientists; to explore the possibility of expanded exchange of educators under the U.S.-U.S.S.R. cultural agreement; and to exchange views concerning the role of cybernetics in education. Individual chapters describe their activities in Moscow at: (1) the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of the R.S.F.S.R.; (2) School No. 5, a public school; (3) Boarding School No. 12, an experimental school of the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of the R.S.F.S.R.; (4) a meeting with representatives of the Ministry of Public Education of the R.S.F.S.R. and the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences; (5) a meeting at the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education of the U.S.S.R. with the head of the pedagogical section and other attendees; (6) the First Moscow Pedagogical Institute of Foreign Languages; (7) the Moscow Institute of Energetics, the source of many of the teaching machines and cybernetic devices used in the Soviet Union; (8) the Moscow State University, and a discussion about a possible teacher exchange program; and (9) an informal, unscheduled dinner discussion with a recent Moscow State University graduate. The author concludes with a recommendation that American leadership take a new look at the problems of developing human resources. (Contains 2 footnotes.)

Bulletin, 1964, No. 8. OE-30013 AN - 1413416156; ED544113 AB - "Readiness for reading" is a phrase familiar to anyone interested in the teaching of reading. Readiness is an essential factor in any phase of learning. If the individual is to learn, some foundation for that learning must be established. Relatively few articles concerning the place of readiness in areas other than reading appear in educational periodicals, but in reviewing the literature in the field of reading, one finds many concerned with readiness. This bulletin is based upon published and unpublished research concerned with readiness for beginning reading. The published research appeared originally in various professional journals; the unpublished research was conducted in colleges and universities throughout the country. The document reviews and summarizes research in 8 categories: (1) Value of Readiness Programs; (2) Readiness Factors; (3) Length of Readiness Program; (4) Reading Readiness Programs; (5) Readiness Materials; (6) Reading Readiness Tests; (7) Readiness and the Home; and (8) Age of Beginning Reading. It is hoped that this bulletin will be useful to teachers of reading, supervisors of English and reading, college teachers, and students interested in research findings. A bibliography is provided.

Bulletin, 1964, No. 30. OE-14102 AN - 1413416150; ED544148 AB - This analysis of the important industry-centered spare time school system in Communist China is a substantially revised version of a paper originally prepared for oral presentation at the annual meeting of the Association for Asian Studies in March 1963. The author is specializing in the study of Communist China at Cornell University, where he is completing a doctoral program. In the absence of impartial firsthand observations by qualified outside observers of the arrangements for spare-time study under the present regime, the author has of necessity been forced to rely mainly upon a discriminating use of materials published in Communist China. While the reliability of these materials is not subject to independent verification, the body of data contained therein is generally believed to be sufficiently indicative of the prevailing situation on the Chinese mainland to enable qualified researchers to derive from it an informative basic picture of major developments.

Bulletin, 1964, No. 27. OE-30004-A AN - 1413416115; ED544145 AB - Published originally in 1952, the bulletin "How Children Learn to Read" was the first in a series designed to illustrate the philosophy and principles set forth in The Place of Subjects in the Curriculum, Bulletin 1949, No. 12. It was planned to describe as simply as possible, especially for inexperienced teachers and for parents, the process of learning to read as it is developed in the elementary school. Since the bulletin first appeared in 1952, many aspects of beginning reading have become increasingly controversial. This revised bulletin discusses what many reading specialist recommend concerning when, where, and how phonics can be used appropriately in relation to other reading skills. The part of this bulletin that deals with skills in the mechanics of reading is an attempt to explain to parents especially the why and how of methods of teaching beginning reading. Of equal importance to the parent should be his own attitude toward reading and the suggestions of ways he can use to determine how well his child is reading. It is in each individual school that parents and school teachers should evaluate today's reading methods and purposed as objectively as possible. Teachers and parents should find the point of view developed in this bulletin one that is suitable for use as a springboard in discussing together children's reading needs, purposed, and problems in the 1960's and beyond. The revised bulletin includes a selected, annotated bibliography, More to Read about Reading. (Contains 15 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.] AU - Mackintosh, Helen K.

Bulletin, 1964, No. 32. OE-14103 AN - 1413416082; ED544160 AB - Since 1960 most of the countries in middle Africa have gained their independence and are confronting the great problems of nation building and economic development. The entire region shows both a popular enthusiasm for education and a conviction among leaders that education is a key to economic and social development. This bulletin has been developed in response to an increased need for basic information on the educational system in Uganda. The bulletin describes various levels and types of education in Uganda with emphasis upon curriculum and course content. It is based to a large extent on selected documents concerning education published or issued by the Uganda Government or schools from 1953 through 1962. The bulletin contains summaries of several of these documents that are not widely available in the United States, and extensive excerpts from some of them, such as course syllabuses used in the Uganda schools. This basic information and selected documentation should serve, then, to increase American understanding of education in that country. Appended are: (1) Senior Secondary Entrance and Junior Secondary Leaving Examination (J.S. II) in English: 1959; (2) Training Colleges for primary-grade, primary-grade domestic science, and junior-secondary school teachers: 1961; (3) Syllabus for the 15-Week Assistant Administrative Officers' Course at the Nsamizi Training Center: 1960; and (4) The 1963 Recommendations of the Uganda Education Commission: A Summary.

OE-14038-63 AN - 1413416077; ED544143 AB - At 4-year intervals since 1950, the United Nations has requested its Member States to review and report what schools, colleges, and adult organizations have been doing to make known the work of international organizations. The present U.S. report for 1960-1963 is a chronicle of the many steps toward peace taken by individuals, organizations, school systems, and other components of the Nation, including: (1) Teaching about the United Nations in Colleges and Universities (Harold A. Haswell); (2) Relating Teacher Education to the United Nations (John B. Whitelaw); (3) Emphasis on the United Nations in Adult Education Programs (Roy B. Minnis and Betty Ward); (4) Contributions of New Educational Media to Learning about the United Nations (Gertrude G.

Bulletin, 1964, No. 20. OE-31008 AN - 1413416055; ED544138 AB - There has developed in recent years a growing realization among educators, social scientists, and others that culturally deprived school-children cannot develop their potential unless they are provided with more educational and cultural opportunities than they typically receive. The educational handicaps stem, in large part, from their culturally deprived home life. It follows that programs to improve the educational opportunities of these children are enhanced when accompanied by efforts to enlist the active cooperation of parents in the education of their children. Culturally deprived adults also require assistance in developing and improving their abilities, skills, and talents in order that they may develop into better homemakers, parents, and citizens. This bulletin reports some promising practices for providing such services found in 20 schools located in depressed residential neighborhoods of 5 large urban school districts. Four chapters include: (1) Facing the Challenge; (2) Neighborhood Settings of Participating Schools; (3) Practices to Improve School-Home Relations; and (4) Guidelines, Observations, and Comments. Appended are a list of participating schools in Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, and St. Louis; and brief descriptions of the cities and schools. (Contains 9 footnotes.)

Bulletin, 1964, No. 12. OE-53020 AN - 1413415916; ED544131 AB - The academic program represents the major thrust of an institution of higher education toward the achievement of its objectives. An effective structure for academic organization is essential. Within such a structure, clarity of procedure is needed in both the development of academic policies and in the implementation of these policies. The Office of Education, in cooperation with nine privately controlled or church-related liberal arts colleges, has undertaken this study in order to provide suggestions and guidelines for institutional self-study and evaluation in the area of academic administration. The emphasis throughout has not been on content but rather on procedures relating to policy development and implementation in the academic area. While broad generalizations cannot be directly derived from these case studies, the actual procedures reported by the nine colleges can suggest thoughtful approaches which have proved feasible within the context of each college. Part I presents an overview of the process, and an analysis and summary of the field of academic administration in the nine colleges. Part II provides the individual case studies: (1) College of New Rochelle (Mother Mary Russo, O.S.U.); (2) Dillard University (Edward E. Riley, Jr.); (3) Juniata College (Morley Mays); (4) Knox College (Hermann R. Muelder); (5) Randolph-Macon Woman's College (Harriet D. Hudson); (6) Regis College (Harry E.

Bulletin, 1964, No. 2. OE-14094 AN - 1413415846; ED544108 AB - The study and analysis of Soviet political, social, and economic systems is as old as the Soviet Union itself, but an intensive study of its educational system is a recent development. Many scholars have turned their attention to the Soviet Union's educational system and have studied the curriculums, teaching methods, textbooks, and other instructional materials of Soviet schools in an attempt to understand the role that education has played in bringing to the USSR success in the field of rocketry and missiles. Previous research has delineated the lines of authority that emanate from the Central Committee of the CPSU (Communist Party of the Soviet Union). This study is based on data collected from documents published in the Soviet Union and in the United States and on information obtained from a series of interviews with members of the Communist Party, a member of its Central Committee of the CPSU, ministers of education, chairmen of city boards of education, school inspectors, directors of institutes of higher education, professions of higher education, and directors of 11-year schools. Four main sections follow the introductory section. Section II describes the administrative structures of Party organizations from the all-union level down through the union-republic, regional, large-city, district--urban and rural, and basic administrative unit levels. .Section III describes the administrative structures of governmental units at each of the same five geopolitical levels. Section IV turns to an analysis of the decision-making process at each level and of the interrelationships that exist within the Party apparatus and Government structure, and describes the relationships between these two entities. Section V turns its attention to areas needing further study: school administration and the relationship of Party to Government. It attempts to bring some focus on questions still unanswered and on administrative processes still unexplored. Appendices include: (1) Selected Readings; (2) Glossary of Russian Terms Used in This Publication; and (3) Ministries and Committee Administering Higher Education in the 15 Soviet Union Republics.

Duplicate groups of 10 bluegills (Lepomis macrochirus) were exposed to a series of concentrations in a continuously renewed solution. The 30-day median tolerance limit (TL sub(m)) ranged between 15.5 and 18.3 p.p.m. of active ingredient. The difference between the 24-hour and the 30-day TL sub(m) ranged between 6.5 and 0.5 p.p.m. Subsequent to exposure, swimming performance tests and histological procedures were conducted on the test fish. A reduction of growth rate in one test and histological changes in all tests were evident at concentrations approximately one-third of the TL sub(m) value. Tests of swimming performance were negative. Test fish exhibited some degree of acclimation to ABS after exposure to sub-lethal concentrations.

Most experiments were carried out in oval, metal tanks 3 feet long with channels 5 inches deep and 4 1/2 inches wide placed side by side. Currents simulating those found in streams were produced in the tanks with paddle wheels operated from a common shaft turned by a laboratory mixer. Each tank had a flow of 100 ml per minute. ABS was supplied from reservoirs to produce concentrations of 4, 8, 16, and 32 p.p.m. in the water of the tanks. Actual concentrations present were determined twice weekly by a methylene blue method. In general, mayfly nymphs (Stenonema ares, S. heterotarsale, Isonychia bicolor) were killed by 10 days' exposure to ABS at 16 p.p.m. or more, and reduced in numbers by 8 p.p.m. Hydropsychidae larvae were more resistant, and in several experiments considerable numbers survived 10-day exposures at 32 p.p.m. Crayfish (Orconectes rusticus), freshwater shrimp (Synurella sp.), and sow bugs (Lirceus sp.) were seriously reduced in numbers by exposure to 10 p.p.m. ABS over a period of 2 weeks or more, but a snail (Goniobasis sp.) was apparently unaffected by this concentration.

AN - 64123979; ED088271 AB - Outlined are the 1964 fiscal year (FY) program proposed by the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare to the Congress to combat mental retardation (MR), and FY 1963 program activities underway. The recommended FY 1964 program is said to reflect an increase of about 75% of the total budget estimated for MR activities for FY 1963. It is noted that FY 1964 activities proposed are in accord with the President's special messages to the Congress and recommendations from the report of the President's Panel on Mental Retardation. Activities for 1963 are listed in terms of research and studies, professional preparation, services by government agencies, construction of facilities, and income maintenance such as public assistance payments to MR persons. Expanded and new activities, authorized by legislation proposed for 1964, are described to include programs such as child welfare research and demonstration projects sponsored by the Children's Bureau, and research in learning processes sponsored by the Office of Education. Described to require enabling legislation are proposals for the following activities: comprehensive action to combat mental retardation; increased maternal, child health, and crippled children's services and research; maternity and infant care; construction of research centers for mental retardation and human development; construction of facilities for MR persons; Vocational Rehabilitation Act amendments for expanded rehabilitation of handicapped persons; education of special education teachers; and special projects to aid urban and rural retarded children. Included is a financial summary of Department of Health, Education, and Welfare agency programs for the 2 years.

This compilation was undertaken by the U.S. Office of Education in response to requests from reading and language arts specialists, particularly members of the National Conference on Research in English. To identify studies for inclusion, the Office of Education sent inquiries and requests to colleges and universities, chief State school officers, local school systems, and others. The 238 studies annotated in this bulletin are grouped under 29 categories, all of which are classified under five broad headings: (1) Causative factors and testing--readiness, individual differences, intelligence, bilingualism, vision and hearing, testing, diagnosis, and other factors; (2) psychological factors--motivation, interests, pupil attitudes, and personal adjustment; (3) reading skills--listening skills, comprehension, oral reading, word recognition and analysis, phonics, library usage and study skills, and vocabulary; (4) educational media--mechanical devices, television, materials, and readability; and (5) educational practices--grouping, individualized reading, comparative studies, subject fields, spelling, and teacher preparation.

Bulletin, 1963, No. 26. OE-27018 AN - 1413416863; ED544074 AB - The trend toward the development of functional communication skills and a longer sequence of language study has been hastened by an awakened public interest in modern foreign languages and by the emphasis given to language development in the National Defense Education Act. Both the immediate and the long-range objectives of foreign language study have changed markedly in the last few years, and language instruction at all levels of the school system is undergoing a thorough revision. It is more difficult now than in the past to advise students of school age about foreign language programs fitted to their needs and abilities. Guidance workers, teachers, principals, and parents who are responsible for helping students plan their program of study need basic information about foreign languages. The present publication updates and considerably expands information contained in a previous bulletin, Modern Foreign Languages: A Counselor's Guide, which had previously provided this information.

Bulletin, 1963, No. 16. OE-14088 AN - 1413416856; ED544054 AB - The demand for basic information on Soviet higher education continues to grow. Previous bulletins on Soviet education published by the Office of Education have either been overall surveys ("Education in the U.S.S.R.," Bulletin 1957, No. 14; "Soviet Commitment to Education," Bulletin 1959, No. 16) or studies of general elementary, secondary and teacher education ("Soviet Education Programs," Bulletin 1960, No. 17). The present study is designed to help meet the demand for more comprehensive information on Soviet higher learning, and particularly, its increasingly close alignment with Soviet national planning and economy. The Introduction provides a review of reform implementation in Soviet higher education. Part I, Soviet Curriculums in Higher Education, discusses: (1) Content and requirements; (2) Structure of curriculums--hours devoted to required courses in Communist ideology, graduate programs, production practice, university training, teacher training, medical training, and technical training; and (3) References and source materials. Part II, Schools and Statistics, addresses: (1) Planning and supervision--Republic Higher Education Authority; (2) Production of specialists--official classification of higher education specialists; and (3) Part-time higher education--correspondence institutes, plant-higher schools for technical education, status of part-time education, and analysis of Soviet statistics. Appendices include: (1) Curriculums for state universities, medical institutes, pedagogical institutes, and engineering-technical higher schools; (2) Soviet higher education statistics; (3) U.S. higher education statistics; (4) Rules for admission to higher educational institutions, U.S.S.R., 1962; (5) Rules for "Aspirantura" (graduate study), U.S.S.R., 1962; and (6) Higher educational institutions of the U.S.S.R.

Bulletin, 1960, No. 14. OE-25005A. Revised AN - 1413416838; ED543954 AB - Demands on guidance workers in secondary schools are constantly increasing. Certification requirements for these workers are continually being revised as their responsibilities become more sharply defined. Since the appearance of the 1960 edition of "Guidance Workers Certification Requirements" (Bulletin 1960, No. 14), 21 States and territories have changed their requirements. During the same period, an additional 8 States and territories have instituted these requirements for the first time; thus 49 States and territories now have certification requirements established by State or territorial legislatures or departments of education under authority granted by legislatures. Part I of this bulletin presents, for each State and territory concerned, the certification requirements for guidance workers in secondary schools. It also presents the qualifications required by every State and territory, except the Canal Zone and American Samoa, for guidance positions in secondary schools operating guidance programs under title V-A of the National Defense Education Act of 1958. The information given has been verified by the States and territories as applicable through the 1962 calendar year. Twenty-five States now have certification requirements for school psychologists, counseling psychologists, or psychometrists. These requirements are listed, by State, in Part II of this bulletin. Part III lists qualification requirements for school social workers and school nurses for the seven States which have established certification requirements for one or both of these areas of work.

Bulletin, 1963, No. 15. OE-51005. [Preface-Chapter 3] AN - 1413416794; ED544052 AB - This report is an account of a survey entitled, "A Project to Survey the Motion Picture Production Facilities of Selected Colleges and Universities in the United States," which was conducted by the University Film Foundation during the Spring and Fall of 1960, under a contract with the U.S. Office of Education. Reasons for the survey included the dearth of organized information about the university film production units, and the desire to prevent duplication of facilities on a campus and inform faculty and staff where, within a reasonable distance in not on their own campus they can obtain assistance in planning programs that involve the use of motion pictures in research, in establishing a motion picture unit, or in producing films for teaching purposes. The purpose of the survey was to arrive at an overall picture of the competencies and production potential of the units by investigating their staff resources, equipment, physical facilities, services, administrative support, and record of performance. The contents shown in this first part of the bulletin include: (1) Preface; (2) Background of University Film Production in the United States; (3) Chapter 1: Administration, Part I: University Administration and the Film Unit; (4) Chapter 2: Administration, Part II: Organization and Operation of the Film Unit; and (5) Chapter 3: Equipment and Facilities. Individual chapters contain footnotes. (Contains 11 tables.) [Due to its size, this volume has been processed as two separate parts. This first part includes the Preface through Chapter 3.

New Media for Instruction, 4. Bulletin, 1963, No. 37. OE-21024 AN - 1413416729; ED544100 AB - During the past fifteen years, educators and electronics specialists have been experimenting with language facilities, usually by modifying equipment components which were originally designed for other purposes. The rapid growth, wide diversity, and newness of these electronic aids to language learning have created the need for a study of the most effective systems of such equipment and their related technical specifications. To meet this need, the U.S. Office of Education initiated a contract, under Title VII of the National Defense Act, with the Electronic Industries Association for the preparation of this Technical Guide. The report contents include: (1) What Is a Language Laboratory?; (2) Why a Language Laboratory?; (3) Planning for a Language Laboratory; (4) Language-Laboratory Systems; (5) Purchasing a Language Laboratory: General and Specific Technical Specifications, including technical language, what must be specified, distortion and noise, general system specifications, and other topics; (6) Testing the Language Laboratory; and (7) Servicing and Maintaining the Language Laboratory. This publication sets forth conclusions reached by representatives of education and the electronics industry concerning many pedagogical and technical matters which affect the ultimate consumer--the student of modern foreign languages.

Bulletin, 1963, No. 36. OE-25032 AN - 1413416719; ED544099 AB - Most counselors agree that all children could benefit from guidance during the elementary grades in school. Guidance for the gifted adolescent often comes too late to change his study habits or his educational plans; and, early recognition of and help for children with physical, social, and emotional difficulties might prevent delinquency, early dropout from school, and later unemployment as teenagers. Elementary school children of average ability also benefit from an effective guidance program. This bulletin outlines some current educational practices that may help elementary school teachers and administrators develop programs of guidance. It describes certain guidance features which are common to a selected number of elementary school programs and suggests new approaches for further research. (Contains 22 footnotes.)

Bulletin, 1963, No. 7. OE-14086 AN - 1413416703; ED543998 AB - The present study is one of the regular series of Office of Education bulletins presenting salient features and analysis of the educational systems of other countries. Such studies in the field of comparative education are designed to serve educators, educational institutions and organizations concerned with the planning and conduct of programs in educational exchange, educational development of various countries; and other educational purposes. This study on Venezuela deals with one of the Latin American republics faced by major problems in its educational development. It aims to bring to the reader an understanding of Venezuela's educational patterns and needs, within the framework of the country's economic and social situation. Part I, Backgrounds, describes: (1) The history of the country--Spain and the colony, and the promise of independence; (2) The history of education (1498-1935)--the Colonial Period, educational thinkers, achievements (1810-88), the governments (1829-1935), and education in 1935; and (3) The challenge following the release from tyranny--the governments (1935-58), education (1936-58), and the challenge. Part II, Education Today, informs readers about: (1) Administration--the Ministry of Education, and budget; (2) Elementary and normal school education; (3) Secondary and higher education--Liceos and Colegios, and higher education; (4) Vocational education and education in the fine arts--technical education, social service training, and applied and fine arts; and (5) Some problems, observations, and conclusions--education to avoid work, rural education, national examinations, politics and education, and the plight of the Criollo.

A Progress Report: The First Five Years, Fiscal Years 1957-61. Bulletin, 1963, No. 14. OE-15012-61 AN - 1413416656; ED544050 AB - A 1956 Office of Education study showed that 26 million rural residents were without any public library service and that more than 300 rural counties had no public library within their borders. An additional 50 million rural residents had only inadequate service. Congress passed the Library Services Act in 1956 to stimulate the further development of public library services in rural areas under 10,000 population. These funds, allotted to the States on the bases of their rural population and matched by States on the basis of their per capita income, may be used for salaries, books and other library materials, library equipment, and other operating expenses, but not for the purchase or erection of buildings or purchase of land. This publication, the third supplement to "State Plans under the Library Services Act," contains statistical data and program summaries as reported by the States for the first 5 years of the act. An introductory section describes the principal activities, trends, and results of the program. The reports in this publication are evidence of the substantial progress made in the further extension of library services to rural residents in the 50 States, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The results to date indicate that the States and Territories, through their State plans and programs, have created a firm basis for the further extension and improvement of rural public library services and have taken a major step toward the goal of developing good public library service for all. This document includes a bibliography of manuals, surveys, and films, as well as the text of Public Law 597 (84th Congress) Chapter 407 and Public Law 86-679 (86th Congress).

In some schools teachers have turned to science kits as a partial solution to the problems presented by restricted space, inadequate facilities and equipment, short class periods, and heavy workloads. For some small schools, the science kit is the laboratory. The selection of kits presents special problems to teachers and school administrators who must judge their suitability for the school program. The purpose of this bulletin is to clarify issues concerning the instructional value of science kits and to suggest criteria for their classification and evaluation.

The increasing Soviet penetration of Africa has considerable import for the free world's efforts to aid the emerging countries of the subcontinent. It is therefore of value to attempt to gauge the extent of Soviet penetration and make rough estimates of some aspects, with an understanding, however, that the information is incomplete and primarily from Soviet sources. For more than general and tentative conclusions on the programs reported in this bulletin, further research and independent verification are necessary. Two appendices provide: (1) a table, the "Six-year Curriculum, Institute of Eastern Languages (Attached to Moscow State University), for Specialty in Eastern Languages and Literature, and (2) Translated Excerpts from "Afrika 1956-61," an Account of the Africa Institute in Moscow of Soviet Training Programs in Africa.

An Annotated Bibliography of Doctoral Studies. Bulletin, 1963, No. 38. OE-15044 AN - 1413416167; ED544101 AB - During the last decade, research has become increasingly important to the profession of librarianship. Seven library schools now have doctoral programs, foundation grants have stimulated and supported scores of major projects, and the research method has been recognized as an accepted technique for solving library problems. The increasing volume of research has caused a serious difficulty: information about completed studies and active investigations is so widely scattered that it is not easily accessible. In this bulletin, a compilation of a major segment of completed research has been assembled for the first time. The abstracts included in this publication furnish a single source of information about doctoral research relating to library science from 1925 to 1960. All dissertations accepted by library schools accredited by the American Library Association were automatically included. Dissertations written in other university departments were included when they treated a central facet of librarianship. In each section of this publication, entries are arranged by these broad subject categories: (1) Background; (2) Organization and Administration; (3) Resources; (4) Reader Services; (5) Technical Processes, Documentation; (6) Personnel and Training; (7) International, Comparative, and Foreign Librarianship; and (8) Methods of Research and Evaluation. Appended are tabulations and analyses of the 224 dissertations abstracted in this publication. (Contains 3 tables.) [Best copy available has been provided.] AU - Cohen, Nathan M.

Report of a Conference of State Department of Education Directors of Programs for the Gifted. Bulletin, 1963, No. 34. OE-20048 AN - 1413416165; ED544063 AB - The gap between the supply of creatively and intellectually able individuals in America and the demand for the services of highly talented people is constantly widening. Key to the development of provisions for gifted and talented children and youth at the State level will be State department of education personnel directly concerned with such programs. To examine their role, the Commissioner of the U.S. Office of Education called a conference in Washington, D.C., April 16-18, 1962. Departments of education which were represented at the conference by full-time directors of programs for the gifted were those of California, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Texas, and Washington. Material presented in this publication is an outgrowth of the conference and is presented in five sections: (1) Formal addresses given during the conferences; (2) A discussion of selected problems facing a State director of programs for the gifted; (3) An examination of the growth of established State directorships of programs for the gifted; (4) Recommendations of the conferees; and (5) Appendixes which include a directory of State department of education personnel directly concerned with programs or provisions for the gifted, a list of research projects which are supported by the Cooperative Research Branch of the U.S. Office of Education and which are related to the education of the gifted, and bibliographies of State department of education and U.S. Office of Education publications about the gifted.

Bulletin, 1963, No. 15. OE-51005. [Chapter 4-Appendices] AN - 1413416160; ED544053 AB - This report is an account of a survey entitled, "A Project to Survey the Motion Picture Production Facilities of Selected Colleges and Universities in the United States," which was conducted by the University Film Foundation during the Spring and Fall of 1960, under a contract with the U.S. Office of Education. Reasons for the survey included the dearth of organized information about the university film production units, and the desire to prevent duplication of facilities on a campus and inform faculty and staff where, within a reasonable distance in not on their own campus they can obtain assistance in planning programs that involve the use of motion pictures in research, in establishing a motion picture unit, or in producing films for teaching purposes. The purpose of the survey was to arrive at an overall picture of the competencies and production potential of the units by investigating their staff resources, equipment, physical facilities, services, administrative support, and record of performance. Contents included in this second part of the bulletin are: (1) Chapter 4: Production and the Product; (2) Chapter 5: Staff of the Film Unit; (3) Chapter 6: Distribution of Films Produced; (4) Chapter 7: Teaching Programs in Film Production; (5) Chapter 8: Additional Producing Units; and (6) Chapter 9: Summary, Recommendations, and Problems of the University Film Production Movement. Appended lists include: (1) Suggested equipment; (2) Best films, as selected by the units; (3) Award-winning films; and (4) UFPA archives of outstanding films. Individual chapters contain footnotes.

Bulletin, 1963, No. 12. OE-29007-60 AN - 1413416124; ED544048 AB - This study makes available the findings of the research in the teaching of mathematics reported to the U.S. Office of Education during the calendar years 1959 and 1960. To secure the data for this study the U.S. Office of Education, with the aid of the Research Committee of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, sent a questionnaire to 454 colleges that offered graduate work in mathematics education, or whose staffs or students had made previous contributions in that area. Data were received from 247 colleges or research workers. Instead of attempting to classify the research on the basis of the major emphasis of each study, this study is organized according to pertinent questions in mathematics education. These questions and analyses are grouped under three headings: (1) Research in the teaching of elementary school mathematics; (2) Research in the teaching of high school mathematics; and (3) Research in the teaching of college mathematics. The document includes recommendations for future research and identifies unanswered questions in the teaching of mathematics. Appended is a summary of research studies. It is hoped that this summary analysis of research in mathematics education will be helpful to both research workers and classroom teachers in improving mathematics instruction.

Bulletin, 1963, No. 35. OE-23030 AN - 1413416095; ED544098 AB - Because of the increased interest in and current publicity given to the problems of agricultural migrant workers and their families, there has been a growing concern in the Nation regarding the lack of educational opportunities offered to migrant children. Since the programs for the education of children of migrant workers vary from State to State, it is the intent of this study to identify procedures of school organization and administration, and the educational problems encountered by the States participating in this survey. The chief State school officers in seven States--California, Colorado, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, and Pennsylvania--were requested to cooperate in providing pertinent information on the problem of programs of education for migrant children. The study included those States which provided financial assistance to local school districts for the operation of summer schools and which had an enrollment impact of migrant children during the school year. This bulletin reports the findings, providing information on State organization and administration of migrant programs, migrant programs during the regular school year, summer programs, and recommendations for further research, and planning to improve the quality of education offered to these children.

Bulletin, 1963, No. 41. OE-14093 AN - 1413415955; ED544104 AB - The science of education in Norway covers a wide field, including child psychology and the psychology of adolescents, educational psychology, educational methods, philosophy of education, and the history of the school system. Educational research has had a relatively short period of development in Norway. Empirical research, with a view to clarifying conditions of importance to educational activity, was begun at the end of the 19th century. This document traces the development of: (1) Independent Research Workers to 1930; (2) Organizing Educational Research During the 1930s; (3) War Years and Early Postwar Developments; and (4) Developments After 1950. Prospects for the future of educational research in Norway are encouraging. The understanding of the importance of educational research, marking the first years after the end of the war, must be said to have been present in a high degree in recent years. It is to be hoped that this understanding will become so strong and widespread that Norway gradually may embark on a program of extending and intensifying the work of research, thereby raising teaching and education to a level which will fulfill the demands of the time.

Bulletin, 1963, No. 32. OE-20046 AN - 1413415930; ED544064 AB - Junior and junior-senior high schools enroll a large proportion of our early adolescent population. The programs they provide, the services they offer, their administrative practices, and the character of their staffs have far-reaching effects. These programs, services, practices, and staff characteristics constitute the scope of the present survey, the first of its extent and coverage to be conducted on a nationwide basis. The study is a sampling drawn from a universe of 4,549 junior high schools with 75 or more pupils, and 7,841 junior-senior high schools with more than 125 pupils. Of the total of 1,507 questionnaires mailed to principals, returns were received from 1,360. The report provides information on the study and the background of the junior high school, and discusses: (1) Administrative arrangements--double and staggered sessions, length of the school year, length of the school day, and number and length of class periods; (2) organization for instruction--grouping of pupils in class sections, block-time classes and unified learning experiences, homeroom and activity periods, provisions for study during the school day, library services, and availability of audiovisual equipment; (3) pupil evaluation, orientation, and services--tests and inventories, promotions, policies for marking pupils, progress reports, guidance counselors, cumulative record files, health, and articulation with lower and upper grades; (4) curriculum--required and elective subjects, and extraclass [cocurricular] activities; and (5) staff--professional supervisory and specialist personnel, and teachers. This study tends to indicate that, in general, size has more to do with differences in educational practices at the junior high school level than does the type of school. Appended are a description of the sample design and the questionnaire used in the survey. (Contains 12 footnotes and 47 tables.) [Best copy available has been provided.] AU - Wright, Grace S.

[Part II] AN - 1413415921; ED544044 AB - This bulletin lists materials available in the fall of 1963 to assist educators in their selections of programmed instruction materials, and updates the inaugural issue, "Programs '62." Since the 1962 edition provided a number of first analyses of programmed material available, some of the present statistical data have been related to last year's findings in a statistical summary to show "two points on the curve," although trends are, of course, premature. The document includes some suggestions for using "Programs '63." Subject area entries shown in this second part of the bulletin include producer information and brief descriptions in the following topic areas: (1) Mathematics--mathematics (miscellaneous), sets, statistics, and trigonometry; (2) Medicine; (3) Miscellaneous; (4) Music; (5) Programming; (6) Science--applied science, general science, biology, chemistry, physics, and psychology; (7) Social studies; and (8) Study skills. Three appendices include: (1) The publisher's questionnaire, (2) "1962 Interim Report of the Joint Committee on Programed Instruction and Teaching Machines," reprinted from Audiovisual Instruction, 1963; and "Programmed Learning--20 Questions," reprinted from The Bulletin of the National Association of Secondary School Principals December 1962. An author index, publisher index, and subject matter index are also included. [This bulletin was prepared with the assistance of Carol Christman and Gertrude Seidel. It was compiled and produced by The Center for Programed Instruction, Inc., in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, Office of Education. Due to its size, this volume has been processed as two separate parts. The first part (ED544042) includes the Introduction through the Guide to Programs entry, "Mathematics--Logic". This second part includes the Guide to Programs entry, "Mathematics--Miscellaneous" through the index. The cover page and table of contents are repeated in the second part.

Bulletin, 1963, No. 22. OE-23026 AN - 1413415895; ED544077 AB - This bulletin is an examination of the practices and procedures for the administration of a merit salary policy as part of the teacher compensation program. It analyzes the procedures for the implementation of a merit salary policy in six school districts which are prominent examples in this field: Canton, Connecticut; Ladue, Missouri; Rich Township High School, Park Forest, Illinois; Summit, New Jersey; Weber School District, Ogden, Utah; and West Hartford, Connecticut. In addition, it touches upon a few basic points on which some agreement and conflict are apparent. The advisability of a merit salary policy is a rather controversial question, and this report is presented only as a description of the six programs. It concentrates on the administrative features and refrains from value judgments relating to policies among the six as well as with respect to the pros and cons of merit rating.

AN - 64119324; ED088272 AB - The 1962 report defines the problem of mental retardation and summarizes both activities of the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (DHEW) and objectives of the President's panel to combat mental retardation. Mental retardation is defined to be a condition characterized by faulty intellectual development which impairs learning ability and adaptation to societal demands. Discussed are aspects such as degrees of retardation, etiology, the problem's scope such as the percentage (3%) of retarded children born yearly, national concern expressed in efforts such as diagnostic services, and future trends based on factors such as longevity and changing patterns in U.S. family life. Summarized under the categories of research and studies, professional preparation, services, and facilities and construction are mental retardation programs administered by the following organizational units of DHEW agencies: the National Institute of Mental Health, National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Blindness, Center for Research in Child Health, and Bureau of State Services, and Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance of the Social Security Administration; the Office of Education; and the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation. Discussed are tasks of the President's Panel such as exploration of ways to prevent and cure mental retardation. Panel members are listed. Also listed are 29 publications on mental retardation available from DHEW.

An extremely wide range in toxicity was found with 96-hour TL sub(m) (median tolerance limit) values ranging from 0.0052 to 610 p.p.m. Bluegills were generally the most sensitive fish, followed by guppies, fathead minnows, and then goldfish. The maximum sensitivity of the different species to particular compounds ranged from 4 to as high as 900 times the minimum. Additional experiments were conducted with some of the compounds. Larger bluegills (10 grams) were slightly more tolerant than smaller bluegills (2 grams) to Delnav, parathion, and malathion; green sunfish of similar size and largemouth bass (5 grams) were not greatly different in sensitivity from the larger bluegills. Tests of five compounds revealed that the toxicity of emulsible concentrates or wettable powders was similar to that of the technical grade material. Fathead minnow fry from 2 to 30 days old were about ten times as sensitive to Delnav as adults. However, when exposed to TEPP there was little difference in sensitivity between the fry and adults. During exposure for 15 days the toxic effect of Delnav increased about fivefold over that shown in 96 hours, but there was no additional fish mortality between 15 and 30 days.

Bulletin, 1963, No. 21. OE-14060 AN - 1413416199; ED544060 AB - The brief description of education in Latin American presented here is based on information available to the Office of Education, much of it in unpublished form, and provides an overview of the general situation of education in Latin America. Document contents include: (1) Introduction: Some Background Factors--historical, sociological-anthropological, and economic, and the demand for education; (2) Educational administration, organization, and structure; and (3) Some problems of Latin American education--quantitative factors, illiteracy, educational level of adult population, school enrollment, absenteeism and school dropouts, physical shortages, teacher shortages and deficiencies, qualitative factors, and higher education-some special factors and problems. In this paper effort has been made to set forth some of the principal facts of Latin American education and the major problems related to its future development. In addition to material deficiencies and needs in this regard, it has seemed at time in the past that more enthusiasm and greater determination on the part of Latin American governments and people would go far in making education the key to their economic and social development. In recent years, however, there have been encouraging indications of progress in this direction. Of particular current note has been the growing recognition of the essential values of education, as evidenced in the Punta del Este Charter establishing the Alliance for Progress and subsequent efforts to apply and implement its recommendations.

Bulletin, 1962, No. 20. OE-10018 AN - 1413416931; ED544013 AB - In recent years there has been a marked increase in the output of literature linking economics with education. In the past, most of the professional literature in this area dealt either with educational finance (the economics of education) or, in a general way, with the role of education in economic development. Current literature continues to deal with these two fields, but in such a way as to introduce a new field, or at least to direct attention to new uses for materials developed in the two fields. This bulletin explores the development of a new field that ascribes a causative role to education in the development process. Document contents include: (1) Introduction; (2) Testing the basic assumptions--a conceptual problem; (3) Human technology--developing human technology, and the role of education; (4) Educational problems; (5) Specific problem areas--literacy, language problems, compulsory education, specialized training, teacher training, education of women, the role of private education, part-time and correspondence education, curriculum development, and team teaching and community development; and (6) Summary.

School Plant Management Series. Bulletin, 1962, No. 6. OE-21017 AN - 1413416862; ED543993 AB - Fire safety in schools, long recognized as a serious problem by both public officials and lay citizens, is concerned with preventing personal injury or death and property damage or destruction. The responsibility for this prevention is lodged in many hands, but school officials having jurisdiction in the matter are usually charged with developing and implementing administrative policies governing appropriate procedures and actions. Basic information, however, is not always available to these officials. The purpose of the present bulletin, therefore, is to incorporate and consolidate in one volume the most recent developments concerning the nature and effects of fires, responsibility for school fire safety, fire hazards prevalent on sites and in buildings, acceptable housekeeping practices, and fire protective and extinguishment devices and equipment. The threat of fire can never be completely eliminated from school buildings, but its dangers can be minimized with sound planning. This may be accomplished by a three-prong attack: prevention, control, and protection. (Contains 160 footnotes, 10 tables, 2 charts, and 2 graphs.)

Bulletin, 1962, No. 2. OE-29032 AN - 1413416861; ED543987 AB - To help State Supervisors of Mathematics develop constructive leadership programs suitable for immediate adoption, under varying State and local conditions, the U.S. Office of Education sponsored a National Conference of State Supervisors of Mathematics at Washington, D.C., from June 19 to 23, 1961. The Conference had four main objectives: (1) To focus attention on the evolving mathematics curriculum in order to determine the most effective things the State Supervisor can do to help strengthen mathematics teaching; (2) To consider how the State Supervisor can help improve inservice and preservice education for mathematics teachers; (3) To identify what types of research are needed in the field of mathematics teaching and to consider the implications of present research findings; and (4) To determine how the State Supervisor can evaluate his State's program for strengthening mathematics teaching and how he can help school systems evaluate their programs. This bulletin reports the proceedings of the Conference: (1) The Changes Taking Place in Mathematics (Irving Adler); (2) Implications of the Changes in Mathematics for the Mathematics Supervisor (Carl B. Allendoerfer); (3) New Media of Instruction (Arthur Lalime); (4) The Role of the Supervisor in Developing Curriculum Materials (Veryl Schult); (5) Evaluation of the New Mathematics Programs (Donovan A. Johnson); (6) How the State Supervisor Can Stimulate Local Leadership (James H. Zant); (7) How the State Supervisor Can Promote Preservice and Inservice Education for Mathematics Teachers (Bernard H. Gundlach); and (8) The Role of the State Supervisor in Encouraging Research and Implementing Research Findings (John J. Kinsella). Included are four appendices: (1) Recommended Leadership Activities for State Supervisors of Mathematics; (2) Panel discussions--Introduction of the New Mathematics Into the Curriculum, Curriculum Changes in Science and Their Implications for the Teaching of Mathematics, and Criteria for Evaluating the Mathematics Program of the State Department of Education; (3) Informal Talks--National Science Foundation Programs of Interest to Mathematics and Science Supervisors (Keith R.

Part I is an account of the nature, scope, and volume of federally sponsored programs in colleges and universities of the United States and the institutions which participate in them. This description is directed toward the request for full information about federally sponsored programs. Part II, which is based on a study performed for the Office of Education by the Brookings Institution, reports findings concerning significant and specific concomitants of federally sponsored activity as seen in a sample of 36 colleges and universities. The institutions include 12 universities that are heavily involved in Federal programs, 12 universities that are less involved, and 12 strong undergraduate colleges. This part examines the effects of present Federal programs on institutions of higher education as factors for developing policies and procedures that will strengthen the educational programs and objectives of higher education institutions. Part III discusses the implications of the information presented in Parts I and II for policies and procedures of higher education institutions, and makes specific recommendations. A selected bibliography is included. (Contains 1 footnote and 4 tables.) [Best copy available has been provided.] AU - Little, Kenneth J.

The study reviews the practices followed in the support of 2-year colleges in each State. It reveals the fact that many States have two types of 2-year colleges receiving public support. It also analyzes the laws and regulations of each State to discover any specific statements dealing with sources and amounts of support for these institutions; and identifies some unanswered questions, such as whether public 2-year colleges should be tuition-free, and what should be considered a 2-year college. State exhibits are given to show the laws, regulations, and practices followed in support of each type of publicly supported 2-year college. It is anticipated that this study will be helpful to those States and districts which are presently considering the establishment of 2-year colleges, as well as to those planning a reexamination of the support pattern for existing institutions.

This report on the history of sabbatical leave and present practices in that area should be helpful to institutions engaged in the initiation or modification of faculty leave policies. The findings are based primarily on information secured from reference librarians, historians, archivists, or other responsible officials of the 72 institutions selected for study. Contents include: (1) Earliest institutions to introduce sabbatical leave; (2) Definition and purpose of sabbatical leave; (3) Previous historical studies; (4) Method of present study; (5) Fifty pioneer institutions; (6) Publicly controlled institutions; (7) Institutions for women; (8) Organizational studies; (9) Summary of present sabbatical leave practices of 48 pioneer institutions; and (10) Studies of special types of institutions. Four appendices provide: (1) Details of methods of present study; (2) Extracts from institutional letters and reports; (3) Details of present sabbatical leave practices of 48 pioneer institutions; and (4) Annotated bibliography. Students of the history of higher education in the United States will find this to be a definitive history of early sabbatical leave practices, derived from primary sources. An index is included.

Bulletin, 1962, No. 8. OE-23023 AN - 1413416035; ED543994 AB - For a number of years there has been a growing recognition of the importance of the school board's role in improving educational programs and services. Evidences of this recognition may be found in the increased citizen interest in school boards, the amount of school administration literature devoted to them, the rapidly growing body of school board research, and the expanded program of services of State school board associations and of the National School Boards Association. The powers of school boards and their position in the structure of education make them key agencies in school improvement programs. A soundly organized and efficiently operation board of education is essential to the provision of good schools. This bulletin is a report of a study undertaken to identify and provide up-to-date information about school board organization and practices. Its contents include: (1) Background of the study; (2) selection of members and size of school boards; (3) membership of boards of education; (4) school board organization; (5) school board meetings; (6) school board policy manuals; (7) compensation and reimbursements for school board members; and (8) school board problems.

Bulletin, 1962, No. 3. OE-29000-59 AN - 1413416004; ED543988 AB - For more than a decade the U.S. Office of Education and the National Association for Research in Science Teaching (NARST) have collaborated in preparing an annual summary of research in the teaching of science. The present bulletin, under the same collaboration, begins a new series in which each successive issue covers a 2-year period; its purpose, as before, is to make summaries of selected research available to school personnel and research workers. In collecting, analyzing, and interpreting the research in science education over the biennium July 1957 to July 1959, the National Association for Research in Science Teaching and the U.S. Office of Education sought to focus on some of the areas of science education in which known problems exist. The present bulletin summarizes published studies discovered through a careful search of the pamphlet and periodical literature of the biennium, and also unpublished studies discovered through a questionnaire jointly developed by the U.S. Office of Education and the NARST and mailed to more than 1,200 institutions officering graduate work in science education. It discusses the challenges to the improvement of science education, and the avenue to the improvement of research in the area. Sections on research studies in elementary school, secondary school, and college science each provide: (1) introduction; (2) analysis; (3) interpretation; (4) selected abstracts; and a list of the studies. Guidelines and recommendations for improvement conclude the document. (Contains 25 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.] AU - Obourn, Ellsworth S. AU - Blackwood, Paul E.

Bulletin, 1962, No. 19. OE-34018 AN - 1413415993; ED544012 AB - This study is one of several examining the history and background of instructional technology in American education. The period, 1650 to the end of the 19th century, was chosen rather arbitrarily to cover technological developments other than conventional audio-visual devices involving photography and sound techniques. Material in this report is based on primary and secondary sources at the Library of Congress, the library of the U.S. Office of Education, the NEA archive collection, and several university libraries. This bulletin presents the skeleton of that portion of the history of instructional technology in American education which deals with technological developments other than projection and recording, rather than a definitive history, in three parts: (1) Colonial Period--school architecture, school furniture, instructional apparatus (quills, ink, paper), the hornbook, and textbooks; (2) American Revolution to the Civil War--technological development, trends in education, school apparatuses, the blackboard, globes and maps, the abacus and the numeral frame, the textbook movement, and other topics; and (3) Civil War to 1900--attitude toward educational technology, dissemination of knowledge about educational technology, opposition to advancing educational technology, the magic lantern and stereoscope, and so on. Appended is a bibliography of books, school equipment catalogues, public documents, articles and essays, and unpublished studies. (Contains 122 footnotes.)

Bulletin, 1962, No. 23. OE-10019 AN - 1413415972; ED544011 AB - Cooperative activities involving the States and the U.S. Office of Education have been a tradition since the establishment of the Office. In recent years the scope, extent, and magnitude of such programs have increased substantially. These programs provide grants for vocational education; rural library services; the improvement of science, mathematics, and foreign language instruction; guidance, counseling, and testing; and statistical services. Federal support for education has been expanded over a long period of time under a variety of statutes. Despite the differing nature of their objectives, the management of money is common to all of the various programs. This bulletin summarizes some basic principles to be applied to the management of the funds involved in a program regardless of the purpose for which the funds are provided. The document includes: (1) introduction; (2) identification of specific programs; (3) responsibility for administration and management of Federal funds for education allotted to States; (4) State agency activities; (5) local agency activities; (6) audits of State and local agency activities; (7) common problem areas; and (8) Federal audit programs.

[Foreword - Chapter VIII] AN - 1413415914; ED543989 AB - In the past few years an important beginning has been made toward defining and exploring the major issues in the economics of higher education. The research of economists covers a wide range of problems, from that of the Nation's requirements for college-trained people, to detailed questions of financing. Perhaps no single area of this work offers larger promise than that of research on education as an investment in people. The Division of Higher Education has sought, through this volume, to bring together important contributions about the economics of higher education for the use of educators and others concerned with the formulation of educational policy. The Division sought, too, to provide a working tool for the economist turning anew to research on higher education. This volume is a summary of a substantial segment of earlier research and opens up new questions for inquiry on a broad range of macroeconomic problems. Part I of this volume concerns the demands of students for higher education and of the Nation for high-talent manpower. Part II presents the fundamentals of a theory of investment in people through education. It includes consideration of the essential differences and similarities between investment in people and investment in physical capital, an assessment of the educational stock of the labor force--both in terms of original cost and in terms of replacement--and estimates of the volume of resources allocated to education and the return on this investment. Part III deals with the financing of higher education and covers a wide range of sources of funds, public and private. Part IV describes briefly the ongoing research in the economics of higher education and outlines the range of issues which require still further study. Appendices include: (1) Sample size, interviews and non-interviews by spending unit and family classification for the cross-section and re-interview sample; (2) Earnings forgone while attending high school, as calculated by Schultz, compared with such forgone earnings as reported in two empirical studies, selected years, 1899-1923; and (3) Local funds for higher education (current funds only): amount and percentage of total State and local current funds, 50 States and District of Columbia, 1957-58. (Contains 396 footnotes, 101 tables, and 4 charts.) [Due to its size, this volume has been processed as three separate parts. The first part includes the foreword through Chapter VIII (ED543989). The second part includes Chapters IX through XV (ED543990). The third part includes Chapter XVI through the Appendices (ED543991).

Bulletin, 1962, No. 9. OE-53012 AN - 1413415863; ED543995 AB - The purpose of organization, for a collegiate institution as well as for a private profit corporation, is to assure efficiency and economy of operation. In view of today's pressures for increase of both quantity and quality in higher education, there is a growing need for institutions to examine critically their present organization for internal administration. Too often, expanded structure has been imposed on a relatively simple pattern of organization which was not suited to its initial purpose. The Office of Education has undertaken this study of institutional organization in order to provide college and university administrators, boards, and others responsible for planning with guidelines for evaluation and modification. Basic data were drawn from the current organization charts of 608 of the 1,970 institutions of higher education; these 608 represent most of those that publish formal charts of organization. This bulletin includes: (1) An approach to the study of organization for administration of higher education; (2) functions and responsibilities of Chief Administrative Officers; (3) survey and analysis of current organizational structure; (4) findings, conclusions, and recommendations; and (5) problems and issues in reorganization.

Bulletin, 1962, No. 10. OE-33025 AN - 1413415862; ED543997 AB - There is a growing appreciation of the need for a greater supply of well-educated people, not only in the scientific and technological fields but also in the political, social, and cultural areas. The high school should play an important role in identifying and developing the specific abilities of each boy and girl so that each can make the greatest contribution possible to himself and to society. Some evidence of the effectiveness of the schools in this role can be secured from a study of the subjects and programs actually pursued by pupils judged to have differing academic aptitudes. This bulletin is a report of a study--the first of its kind--that was designed to gather national data on high school programs completed by graduates of 1958 who had varying academic abilities and who had been enrolled in schools of different sizes. It is expected that it will give information valuable in helping to develop better educational opportunities for pupils in communities throughout the United States. Appendixes include: (1) Appendix Tables; (2) List of Mental Ability Tests with Name and Address of Publisher; (3) Subject Titles; and (4) The Questionnaire.

Other items emphasize the importance of research in adult learning, and the role of the public school, the worker, the teacher, the family of the illiterate adult, and the officials and members of community organizations in promoting educational opportunities for both foreign-and native-born illiterates. Some items indicate how literacy education has helped illiterate adults residing in rural areas or in the congested cities toward improved health, family and community life, and increased work and occupational skills. Other references emphasize some highlights of programing, planning and organization of literacy programs and describe the means of communication in literacy education throughout the world, in terms of technical and educational assistance programs. Most of the materials were published since the turn of the century; however, several landmark publications issued prior to the year 1900 are included in Section I.

In important respects, the programs have brought greater gains to the South than to the rest of the nation, even though soc insurance benefits & public assistance standards continue to be lower than elsewhere. Successive extensions of Federal old-age, survivors, & disability insurance protection to self-employed persons, farm & domestic workers, & others & to their dependents, benefit computation formulas favoring low-paid workers, & increases in benefit minimums have been of particular advantage to the South. In fiscal year 1960, $1.37 in old-age, survivors, & disability insurance benefits was returned to the region for every dollar collected in contributions. As a proportion of all benefits under the program, payments to residents of the South rose from 13.4% in 1940, to 16.9% in 1960. Federal sharing in public assistance costs is much higher in the South than in the rest of the country. The South's share of Federal grants for public assistance climbed from 10% in 1940, to 27.5% in 1960. The latter % was about double the proportion of Federal general revenue receipts from the region.

OE-36003 AN - 1413416895; ED544037 AB - The latest available statistics for 1958-59 indicate there were 8,084 small schools and that they had enrolled in them 1,650,000 pupils. It is a matter of conjecture how much these figures will be reduced in the next 10 years, but there is considerable doubt that the reduction will be a truly significant one. In any event the current figures are rather formidable ones when it is recognized that these represent 42 percent of all 19,191 high schools and 20 percent of the 8 1/4 million young people enrolled in high schools. This bulletin presents a story of the first modifications to have been brought about in recent years which involve broad experimentations designed to improve the instructional programs of small high schools.

Bulletin, 1961, No. 8. OE-26007 AN - 1413416873; ED544033 AB - Because of the growing importance of the sciences in the society and the increasing interest of young people in pursuing scientific careers, the Congress of the United States enacted Public Law 85-875. One purpose of the law as stated in Section 2(a) (4) is "to develop an awareness of the satisfactions to be derived through a career devoted to science." On September 2, 1958, President Eisenhower signed into law both the National Defense Education Act (Public Law 85-864) and Public Law 85-875. Here again the Congress recognized, in Title V of this Act, the need for better guidance and counseling in the public secondary schools. This bibliography of 385 titles was designed to suggest sources from which counselors, teachers, secondary school students, and others concerned with vocational guidance decisions can obtain free and inexpensive career information. This bibliography covers the following topics: (1) Agriculture; (2) Biological Sciences; (3) Engineering; (4) Forestry; (5) Health Professions; (6) Mathematics; and (7) Physical Sciences.

Bulletin, 1961, No. 28. OE-29029 AN - 1413416872; ED544127 AB - The phenomenal growth of science and technology in the past decade has made science teaching more important, and at the same time more difficult. An awareness of these changes has caused an unprecedented public support for sound science programs in the schools. A good science program makes effective use of equipment and materials in teaching basic science concepts. The National Defense Education Act of 1958, Title III, has provided educators with greater opportunity to strengthen instruction through the acquisition of needed equipment and materials. A new emphasis on science in the elementary school has stimulated supervisors, administrators, and many teachers to seek information on sources, selection, and use of appropriate materials and equipment in instruction. This bulletin is intended mainly to help the neophyte who is interested in the basics of elementary science teaching. It offers general guidelines concerning the relationship of equipment to the various elements of the instructional program. The discussion is keyed particularly to the needs of the elementary school supervisor, principal, and others responsible for school policies regarding the procurement and use of science equipment. Appended are: (1) Basic, Standard, and Advanced Lists for Elementary Science--Council of Chief State School Officers; (2) Science Supplies and Equipment for Elementary Schools, Grades 1-6--Detroit Public Schools; (3) Science K-6 Equipment and Supplies--New York State Education Department; (4) A Basic Equipment List--National Science Teachers Association; and (5) Science Equipment--Denver Public Schools.

Most of the projects were contracted in fiscal year 1960. However, descriptions of projects which were recommended for support in May 1960 but which were not contracted until fiscal year 1961 are incorporated to eliminate unnecessary delays in the reporting of current research. Each description presents a statement of the problem, the major objectives, and the procedures to be followed. The name and title of the investigator, the name of contracting institution, the project number, the duration of the project, and the starting and completion dates are included. Except for the descriptions, the Program has little information available on each study during the course of the research. In some instances, the investigators may be able to provide information to interested persons.

Bulletin, 1961, No. 16. OE-20028 AN - 1413416835; ED544087 AB - The initiation of the educational records and reports study by the Office of Education in 1951 marked a turning point in the Federal State teamwork approach toward providing a basis for complete, accurate, and comparable educational information. In cooperation with State education agencies and professional groups, three major handbooks of standard terms and definitions have thus far been produced. A second major turning point toward providing adequate and reliable educational information to meet local, State, and national needs came with the passage of the National Defense Education Act in 1958. The activities underway in the several States under the program provisions of approved State plans indicate clearly that the State education agencies, utilizing the financial resources afforded under this Act, are responding with enthusiasm in making improvements which will serve as a firm basis for continued progress in statistical services. This compilation of summaries of State plan provisions and program activities during the first two years of the Act was undertaken in order that all those interested in the improvement of statistical services might have the benefit of noting the major program areas and the scope and depth of program activities. Amendments of State plans are also reviewed, since they reflect changes and expansions conditioned by the experiences gained in actual program operations. Appended are: (1) Section 1009, Title X, National Defense Education Act of 1958, Public Law 85-864; and (2) Regulations for the Administration of Section 1009, Title X, Public Law 85-864.

Bulletin, 1961, No. 5. OE-29021 AN - 1413416810; ED543983 AB - The scientist and mathematician of tomorrow will come from the high school students of today. It is important to appraise this source of the future scientific manpower from time to time, both to note the trends and to judge the effectiveness of the efforts being made to bolster the defense, security and future welfare of the Nation through the improvement of science and mathematics courses in public high schools. Biennially, since 1954, the U.S. Office of Education has obtained information on the offerings and enrollments in science and mathematics in the public high schools of the United States. The first study was published as Pamphlet 118, and the second as Pamphlet 120. These studies were widely distributed. That they served to meet a definite need was attested by letters received from many users. It is hoped that the present study, which summarizes the offerings and enrollment data obtained for the school year 1958-59, will be a significant addition to the series. An appendix contains: (1) Questionnaires regarding enrollment in science and mathematics courses; (2) Figure 15--Pupils Enrolled in Science and Mathematics: Fall 1958; and (3) Figure 16--Mathematics and Science Enrollments in Public High Schools: Specified Years, 1933-34 to 1958-59.

Bulletin, 1961, No. 15. OE-56005 AN - 1413416680; ED544086 AB - The three-two plan has been developed, chiefly in recent years, as one method of attacking the problem of the proper allocation of time in undergraduate engineering education between the liberal and technical subdivisions of the curriculum. The growth in the number of such programs is a clear indication that this relatively new development is serving a useful purpose in the education of engineers so greatly needed in our national economy. The U.S. Office of Education believes that this development has implications, particularly for engineering education, and perhaps in other fields, and that a brief study of this type of program is a worthwhile activity for the Office. This bulletin presents two lists of names of the institutions conducting three-two programs in the fall of 1959. In the first list, the engineering colleges are listed by geographic location, and the name of each engineering college is followed by a list of the nonengineering colleges which were collaborating with it in the conduct of these programs. This will enable anyone interested to determine quickly and easily which engineering colleges are conducting this type of program, and to ascertain for any particular engineering college which nonengineering colleges are collaborating with it.

The general education area of the curriculum is designed to provide for the common needs of all boys and girls in our society, in contrast to the special interests area represented by the elective subjects, which serves the individual needs of pupils. Through its required subjects a school can ensure for every pupil the basic instruction which it believes will best develop the knowledge, understandings, and attitudes he needs to function as an effective citizen. This document reports the subjects that State and city school people have designated as those which best fulfill this important need. A list of cities drawn in the sample is appended.

Bulletin, 1961, No. 22. OE-23014 AN - 1413416641; ED544094 AB - Recent years have brought an upsurge of interest and concern among school administrators and others regarding the administrative and specialized services that are necessary for providing sound educational programs and maintaining school system efficiency. In response to that growing interest and concern, the Office of Education and the American Association of School Administrators co-sponsored a conference for purposes of identifying more precisely and assessing the nature of the most pressing problems in this highly complex aspect of local school system organization and administration. Participating in the conference, which was held in Washington in June 1959, were superintendents of urban, suburban, and county-unit school systems ranging in size from 6,000 to 75,000 pupils and representing all major geographic regions of the Nation. Prominent among the problem areas emphasized by these school superintendents was the organization of administration of special services for meeting pupil adjustment and health needs, with due consideration given to variations in school and community conditions. Realizing that this highly complex problem area was not subject to ready-made solutions, the group addressed the potential usefulness of a limited number of carefully selected case studies. This expressed need prompted the Office of Education to give careful consideration toward undertaking the study presented herein. This bulletin presents case studies of pupil personnel service programs which exist in eight urban school districts: (1) School District of Abington, Pennsylvania, Township; (2) Ann Arbor, Michigan, Public Schools; (3) Elgin, Illinois, Public Schools; (4) Ithaca, New York, City School District; (5) Independent School District No. 281, Robbinsdale, Minnesota; (6) Warren, Ohio, City School District; (7) Westfield, New Jersey, Public Schools; and (8) West Hartford, Connecticut, Public Schools. Chapters include: (1) Introduction; (2) School and Community; (3) Organization of Pupil Personnel Services; (4) Administration of Pupil Personnel Services; and (5) Administrative Leadership and Pupil Personnel Services.

Bulletin, 1961, No. 6. OE-13012 AN - 1413416636; ED543984 AB - Migration has been an essential part of American life and a contributing factor to the urbanization of its cities. The pages of history are filled with the record of the movement of people away from a lesser toward a greater opportunity and the search for security and happiness in some more favorable environment. There are two large groups of migrants in America today, the agricultural migrants who follow the crops, and the industrial migrants who come to the city seeking new opportunities. The limitations and scope of this bulletin exclude a consideration of the agricultural migrant. It also excludes a consideration of the immigrant who has been a contributing force in U.S. population growth. The chief concern of this bulletin is with that large aggregation of internal migrants who leave their communities for urban centers in search of work and other opportunities. What are some of the educational problems and issues involved in migration? This bulletin identifies the more pressing of them without presuming to suggest final solutions. The report constitutes an "approach" to the subject under discussion, not an exhaustive analysis of it. Some of the threads which lead from the new resident in the urban community back to the sources and causes of migration and forward to the educational needs and requirements have been identified. Suggested guides to further analysis and study have been included. National, State, and local workers, educators, leaders in lay and professional organizations, and parents should find the report valuable in planning, appraising, and improving educational programs for the adult migrants who are crowding into urban centers at an accelerating rate. This bulletin is divided into five sections, as follows: (1) Populations on the Move; (2) The Responsibility and Challenge of Education; (3) Selected Urban Community Approaches to the Education of Migrants; (4) Trends in the Development of Educational Programs and Services for Migrants; and (5) Educational Needs and Concerns Requiring Further Study and Research.

Bulletin, 1961, No. 17. OE-33019 AN - 1413416624; ED544088 AB - About 100 years ago, steam and water power provided less than one-quarter of the energy needed for all production. Men and animals provided the rest. Today in the United States machines supply 98 percent of all power for industrial work. The technological change that has taken place in this time has been phenomenal and, undoubtedly, will be even more rapid in the future. Industrial arts deals with the technology--its tools, materials, machines, industrial processes, and its related human problems. This study provides a detailed analysis of instructional content in State curriculum guides for selected subject areas of the industrial arts in the United States. The information derived from this study provides persons engaged in the improvement of instruction in the industrial arts at the State and local levels with basic data bearing on the nature, scope, and sequence of the industrial arts curriculum area in the public schools of the United States.

Adventures in Learning. Bulletin, 1961, No. 13. OE-13016 AN - 1413416551; ED544039 AB - The Office of Education is requested frequently to supply information about education and community organization for aging. This publication adds to the literature in the growing field of professional and community concern. The publication may have its major use as a handbook for community and school leaders who wish specific information about programs that have been tried in real community situations. The focus of this case history is on the "action" and experimental demonstration approach which the community of Hamilton, Ohio, made to the problems and challenges of their Senior Citizens. Hamilton's experience has been recorded with several audiences in mind: (1) Experienced community workers in the field of aging who can benefit from study of programs in action; (2) Scholars who seek to keep their research and teaching in this field close to community realities; (3) Older people whose impulses and social insights impel them to continue learning and whose talents may be enlisted in general community and social improvement; and (4) School and community leaders whose decisions on policy and administrative matters affect vitally the effectiveness of community programs for older persons. This study of a center for older persons reveals three aspects of a coordinated and interrelated program; namely, education, recreation, and community service. For those who are seeking to emphasize the educational aspects of a program for older adults, there are many features described in this study that should be of interest to those who are planning learning activities in senior citizen groups. Others who may wish to stress the social and recreational needs of older people will find many ideas for programs that put emphasis on health and recreational activities. Still other community leaders and groups desiring to work out community service programs in which older persons can participate should find many worthwhile ideas for a wide variety of individual and group-initiated programs. The study reveals how the educational, recreational, and community service features of a total program are interrelated and developed through association of older persons in the pleasant environs of a "center." This study aims at two central purposes. First, the record sets forth a chronology of decisions and evolving circumstances in order to throw light on the question, "How did the program of the Hamilton Senior Citizen Center come into being?" The purpose in establishing the record is to make it possible for Hamilton citizens to share their experience with others in the many American communities that are evolving creative innovations in response to the challenges of aging. The second major purpose of this study is to bring into focus the program features of the Hamilton Senior Citizen Center. The detailed analysis of the specific elements in: (a) Recreation, (b) Learning, and (c) Community service provides a body of suggestions and tested ideas which communities may find useful in stimulating thought and action in behalf of Senior Citizens.

The present bulletin, Federal Funds for Education, 1958-59 and 1959-60, is the 15th in the series. It describes educational programs supported by the Federal Government and gives tabular summaries of the Federal funds provided. Compilations of amounts for the individual States in the 1958-59 and, if available, for the 1958-60 school years are presented. Summary tables reporting program amounts over a 10-year period are also included to show trends in Federal support. The figures indicate annual amounts for the separate programs; the extent that educational activities are supported in the separate Federal departments, agencies, or offices, and the Government-wide participation in supporting education services throughout the United States. The value of this kind of information has recently been emphasized in arrangements between the National Science Foundation and the Office of Education for a further analysis of data on Federal funds for education.

[Chapter V - Index] AN - 1413416076; ED544035 AB - Thousand of books, monographs, proceedings, and articles have been published concerning colleges and universities in the United States. As guides to his extensive literature, many bibliographies in the field of higher education in general, or special aspects of it, have been prepared. These vary greatly in comprehensiveness, in recency, and in usefulness. Few of them include informative annotations. None of them covers satisfactorily the office of the president--the prestige office of the American college and university world. The purpose of this bibliography is to supply this lack of information for the more than 2,000 institutions of higher education in the country, each of which has a chief administrative officer, usually designated as "president." Information concerning almost 700 publications in this restricted but important field, published during the 20th century, will be found in the present bibliography. This bulletin presents the second part of a two-part volume. It contains the following sections: (1) Chapter V: Duties and Responsibilities; (2) Biography; and (3) Index.

Bulletin, 1961, No. 23. OE-27013 AN - 1413415975; ED544095 AB - Title III of the National Defense Education Act of 1958 authorized a program of financial assistance of State educational agencies for projects of local educational agencies for the acquisition of laboratory or other special equipment needed in the teaching of modern foreign languages and for minor remodeling of laboratory or other space to be used for such equipment. Loans to nonprofit, private schools were authorized for the same types of projects. Under the provisions of this Act hundreds of schools have already installed language laboratories. The installations vary greatly, from simple listening corners having a single playback machine to fully equipped laboratories in which each pupil has a semiprivate booth complete with microphone, activated earphones, and facilities for recording and playing back his imitation of the model. Great variation is to be expected because of the diversity in the school systems and the autonomy of the local district as well as the wide range of teaching situations in foreign language classes. This state of newness, variety, and rapid growth of language laboratory facilities clearly indicates, however, a need to explore with considered judgment the relationship of equipment functions to language learning activities. The purpose of this bulletin is to offer teachers and administrators some practical guidelines for planning a language laboratory and for obtaining maximum educational value from electromechanical equipment selected. Language laboratory terminology, glossaries of language laboratory expressions and terms, and a list of useful references are included. (Contains 9 footnotes.)

Bulletin, 1961, No. 10. OE-29022 AN - 1413415959; ED544036 AB - The key to the improvement of any courses in the school curriculum is obviously the teacher. In this connection, as regards the high school mathematics curriculum, certain questions arise: Do the teachers need inservice education for the new improved courses? What inservice education programs are now in progress? How are school administrators helping in these programs? To seek information on these and kindred questions was the purpose of the conference called by the U.S. Office of Education at Washington, D.C., on March 17, 18, and 19, 1960. More than 50 persons participated in the conference and contributed to its success. This publication presents the formal papers that were given and also a summary of the work session deliberations and panel discussions. It is published with the hope that persons interested in the improvement of school mathematics will find specific suggestions applicable to their own schools. This publication contains the following papers: (1) Needed Emphases in the Teaching of Mathematics and Implications for Teacher Reeducation (W. L. Duren, Jr.); (2) Current Problems and Patterns of Inservice Education in High School Mathematics (Henry W. Syer); and (3) Characteristics of a Desirable Inservice Education Program for High School Mathematics Teachers (Henry Van Engen).

Bulletin, 1961, No. 27. OE-14066 AN - 1413415913; ED544126 AB - International educational exchange has been the subject of two earlier bibliographies published by the U.S. Office of Education. Prepared originally under a title slightly different from the present one, the first compilation was made by Thomas E. Cotner and John W. Grissom in 1951. This was revised and updated by Frank A. Knapp, Jr., and published in 1954. The current bibliography is greatly expanded and includes a new section on bibliographies in related fields, such as comparative education and English as a foreign or second language. Both of these fields concern to some extent American and foreign exchangees and problems of orientation, guidance, and counseling. For this reason it seemed desirable to have a new section on bibliographies in these fields, but not to duplicate their listings. An effort has been made to limit the coverage in the remaining sections of this bibliography to the international exchange and training of students, teachers, professors, research scholars, leaders, and specialists, and to trainees in many fields from other countries and their American counterparts going abroad. It is believed that the publication will be of useful to Foreign Student Advisers, Fullbright Program Advisers, personnel of public and private agencies, and to foundations and other organizations participating in exchange programs (including hospitality centers and international relations discussion groups). Graduate students and others engaged in research on various aspects of exchange should also find the compilation useful. [Best copy available has been provided.] AU - Cotner, Thomas E.

Bulletin, 1961, No. 25. OE-25021 AN - 1413415907; ED544124 AB - There was a need to synthesize what was being done in public schools and colleges and to provide suggestions on how to organize guidance and counseling services to meet the needs of the underachiever with superior ability. As a result, a conference was called by the Office of Education on June 23-25, 1960, in Washington, D.C., to plan the contents of a bulletin on guidance for the underachieving talented child. The participants in the conference made a careful review of guidance problems peculiar to the underachiever and the nature of research and demonstrations which have been conducted in this area. They studied the questions pertaining to guidance services for the underachiever which were being asked by educators, guidance personnel, parents, and community leaders. They concluded that the bulletin should be directed toward guidance for the underachiever with superior ability and that the content should be of practical nature to show what was currently being done to provide guidance and counseling services for the underachiever at all grade levels. This publication contains suggestions on how the guidance needs and problems of the underachiever can be identified and defines ways in which these needs can be met at the various educational levels. This bulletin contains the following chapters: (1) Nature and Scope of the Problem (Irene Impellizzeri); (2) Definition and Identification of Academic Underachievers (Merville C. Shaw II); (3) What Can Be Done at the Elementary Level (Anna R. Meeks); (4) What Can Be Done at the Secondary Level (Helen G. Stern); (5) What Can Be Done at the College Level (Robert O.

Bulletin, 1961, No. 24. OE-35026 AN - 1413415899; ED544123 AB - Blind children are entering the Nation's schools in larger numbers than ever before. In addition to those blinded by usual causes, a new eye condition primarily affecting prematurely born infants swept the Nation between 1945 and 1955, leaving thousands of visually handicapped children. Most of these are attaining school age at this time. There has been an increasing demand for statistical information of the type provided in this publication as more and more general and special educators have become involved in meeting the needs of these children. The summary findings presented are based on facts about the largest number of blind children known to have been included in an educational study in this special field. It was made possible through the cooperation of officials at the American Printing House for the Blind, who made available to the Office of Education information on the more than 14,500 children registered for the 1959-60 school year under the act "To Promote the Education of the Blind." Chapter I, Introduction, includes: (1) Scope; (2) Purpose; (3) Procedure; (4) Selected Local School Sample; and (5) Findings. Chapter II, Degree of Vision, contains: (1) Levels of Vision; (2) Major Findings; and (3) Local and Residential School Students Compared. Chapter III, Mode of Reading, presents: (1) Mode of Reading Related to Degree of Vision; (2) Local and Residential School Students Compared; and (3) Grade Distribution. Chapter IV, Implications, includes: (1) Accuracy of the Data; (2) Selecting the Most Suitable Mode of Reading; (3) Comparison of Local and Residential School Students; (4) Precise Eye Reports; (5) Terminology; (6) Retrolental Fibroplasia; (7) Grade Distributions; and (8) Conclusions.

Four, Five, and Six. Bulletin, 1961, No. 1. OE-35036 AN - 1413415850; ED543979 AB - Improvement of educational opportunities for the more able children in schools has captured and held the attention and imagination of the public. Many are asking what the elementary schools are doing to provide adequate education for these children, and others are suggesting what schools ought to be doing. In response to this interest, the present study was undertaken by the Specialist for Upper Grades in the Elementary Schools Section of the Office of Education as an attempt to analyze some of the characteristics of the more able children and to report school programs which local educators consider to be good for these children. The content of this bulletin was derived from several sources: a study of research in the field of the gifted, observations in selected schools, interviews with teachers and administrators, and examination of publications which describe school programs or activities. Some of these programs have been in progress for many years; others represent changes recently adopted by the particular school or school system. This bulletin reports the author's observations which formed the basis of the study. In the main, each "Teaching-Learning Situation" reports the activities observed in a single classroom, with a single group of children, thus making it possible for the reader to a see how teacher worked in more than one subject-matter area, and how various teachers worked in similar and different subject-matter areas. Following the presentations of observations in fourth, fifth, and sixth grades, and in several mixed-grade settings, an attempt is made to show the characteristics ascribed by teachers to more able children, and the elements which, in general, characterized the teaching-learning situations. Included also are implications for school administrators and teachers, parents, and persons responsible for the education of teachers.

Bulletin, 1960, No. 26. OE-14043 AN - 1413416929; ED543967 AB - Educational trends throughout the world hold wider and deeper significance for American education today than in any previous period of our country. Thousands upon thousands of foreign students from many nations are enrolled each year in American colleges and universities. Increasingly the vital part which education contributes to the development of society is being recognized by peoples and their governments. The present bulletin is another in the Office of Education's long established series on education in other countries. This bulletin deals with some of the most apparent educational trends at the present time in European affiliated areas of the Caribbean. These include the British, Netherlands, and French affiliated areas. The educational ties of these areas with the United States add importance and interest to such a study. To cite just one example, more than 1,400 students from the British Caribbean areas alone were enrolled in institutions of higher learning in the United States during the 1958-59 school year, according to published statistics of the privately supported Institute of International Education. Information in this bulletin is based in considerable part on direct observation by the author of educational institutions and practices, and on discussions with educational and other specialists, in certain of the Caribbean areas during the latter part of 1958. These observations and discussions were supplemented by extensive study of published source materials and other writings on the area generally and its educational patterns and facilities. A selected bibliography is included. Two appendixes present: (1) Summary of Recommendations of the Regional Conference on the Training of Teachers in the British Caribbean, 1957; and (2) Summary of Principal Recommendations of the Mission on Higher Technical Education in the British Caribbean. Individual chapters contain footnotes. [Best copy available has been provided.] AU - Hauch, Charles C.

Bulletin, 1960, No. 7. OE-53002. [Foreword - Chapter VII] AN - 1413416909; ED543945 AB - Professional literature on American higher education is vast and varied. Bibliographic items on college and university administration alone indicate that perhaps twenty thousand books, pamphlets, and magazine articles have appeared in print since 1950. Because the range and quality of the literature on university administration are so great, the staff of the Division of Higher Education found it necessary to develop for its own use the selected and annotated bibliography published herewith. It is the basic list of 2,708 items, that except for a few dozen relatively ageless general references, appeared in print between 1950 and midsummer 1959. The bibliography is not intended to meet the specialized reference needs of deans, registrars, business officers, or directors of faculty and student personnel services, but it is hoped that it will prove a convenient aid to busy executives and students of higher education administration. This bulletin is the first part of a three-part volume. It contains the following sections: (1) Foreword; (2) Introduction; (3) Periodicals Cited; (4) Chapter I: General and Reference; (5) Chapter II: Functions and Organization; (6) Chapter III: Federal Relations; (7) Chapter IV: Regional Organizations; (8) Chapter V: Statewide Administration; (9) Chapter VI: Institutional Boards of Control; and (10) Chapter VII: Officers of administration. (Contains 1 footnote.) [Due to its size, this volume has been processed as three separate parts. The first part includes the foreword through Chapter VII. The second part includes Chapters VIII and IX. The third part includes Chapter X through the index. The cover page and table of contents are repeated in the second and third parts. For the other parts of this volume, see "Chapter VIII - Chapter IX" (ED543946) and "Chapter X - Index" (ED543947).

Bulletin, 1960, No. 31. OE-25011 AN - 1413416779; ED543978 AB - In September of 1958, the 85th Congress passed Public Law 85-864, the National Defense Education Act. The step had not been taken lightly. For months congressional committees had been studying alternative bills. Widespread discussion had occurred in circles where educators and the educated were represented. Many proposals had been examined and compared. Congress realized that the provisions of this law would have widespread and to some extent unpredictable effects on the whole pattern of American education. This report is an examination of the structure that was built upon title V(B) or the act during its first year. Part B authorized the establishment of counseling and guidance training institutes at colleges and universities for the purpose of improving the qualifications of secondary school personnel to engage in counseling and guidance. The authors of this report shall look first at the principles that guided the designers in their plans. They shall then turn their attention to the details of the structure itself, answering such questions as What? Who? Where? and How much? They shall then try to analyse the distinctive contributions to counselor education that this program has made. They shall grapple with the problems that were faced by the persons who planned and conducted this first round of institutes. They shall evaluate the outcomes as well as possible and try to determine how successfully the purposes of title V(B) of the National Defense Education Act have been achieved. This bulletin contains the following chapters: (1) The Broad Picture; (2) Facts and Figures; (3) A Closer Look; and (4) Looking Toward the Future. Appended are: (1) Title I (Sec. 101) and Title V, the National Defense Education Act of 1958; (2) Counseling and Guidance Training Institutes Registry Form; (3) Selected Time Schedules Representative of Institute Activities; and (4) Institutions Sponsoring Counseling and Guidance Training Institutes; Summer of 1959.

Bulletin, 1960, No. 13. OE-23007 AN - 1413416751; ED543953 AB - In recent years there has been an increasing interest and emphasis on the staff personnel administrative policies and procedures of local school systems. This interest and emphasis applies not only to the nature or characteristics of the staff personnel policies developed by school systems but also to the methods used in developing policies and keeping the staff informed about them. In view of the important functions handbooks and manuals for teachers and other school employees can serve in providing the communication necessary for the organization and operation of a local school system, a study of such documents was undertaken. The primary purpose of this study was to analyze the content of 72 medium- and large-sized school systems in various geographic regions of the country in order to determine what topics were included and the nature of the information presented on each topic. This document is divided into ten chapters, as follows: (1) Introduction; (2) General Characteristics of the Handbooks; (3) School Agencies and Positions; (4) Employment; (5) Compensation and Benefits; (6) Employees' Time and Load; Employees' Absences; (7) Personnel Development; (8) Instructional Programs, Supplementary Services, Facilities, and Equipment; (9) Pupil Personnel Administration and Services; and (10) Community Relations.

Bulletin, 1959, No. 6 AN - 1413416732; ED543876 AB - In the nation there are four or five million children who have educational needs so unusual that they require special help from the schools. Such children include those with physical handicaps, mental retardation, serious social or emotional problems, or giftedness. Progress is being made in providing for these children, but educational provisions are far from adequate. Educational programs are being extended or developed by State and local school systems, but in this expansion, the crucial need is for larger numbers of well-qualified teachers. This publication results from the cooperative efforts of many leading special educations in the Nation, in the hope of forming a basis for guidelines for future improvements. The document describes the scope of the publication, collection of information, participants, and issues from difference points of view, and considers: (1) competencies needed by teachers; (2) opinions on adequacy of professional preparation, including specialized teacher competencies, practical experiences in professional preparation, and administrative considerations in college programs; (3) qualifications of college staff members, such as competencies for college staff members as identified by a committee, the competency committee and its report, and professional preparation and experiences for college staff members; (4) in-service education; and (5) summary and implications. Appended are: (1) The plan and procedures used in the Office of Education Study, "Qualification and Preparation of Teachers of Exceptional Children"; (2) Information about the special educators participating in the study; (3) Statistical procedures and results; and (4) Excerpts from inquiry forms.

Bulletin, 1960, No. 15. OE-21002 AN - 1413416645; ED543955 AB - Present capital outlay investments in elementary and secondary school buildings, sites, and equipment in the United States are being increased at the rate of about $3 billion annually. Maintenance and operational services, important aspects of property protection, educational progress, pupil safety, and plant efficiency, are being provided in these facilities at a cost of more than $1 billion per year. This cost may be expected to increase as new facilities are added. School plant management, like other phases of the educational program, faces serious challenges, making it imperative that school officials have some knowledge of the basic principles and procedures involved in school plant care. This bulletin deals primarily with organizing and developing official maintenance programs for school districts. Its purpose is to bring together, in one document, the collective "know-how" of many people whose experience enables them to give authoritative information on school maintenance programs. The ideas, practices, and suggestions which have been used in this bulletin have been carefully documented as to source. This document is presented in five chapters, as follows: (1) Introduction; (2) Developing a Maintenance Organization; (3) Programming Maintenance Needs; (4) Financing the Maintenance Program; and (5) Reducing Maintenance Costs. A selected bibliography of books, periodicals, and bulletins is also included. The following are appended: (1) Maintenance Control: Exhibit 1--Site, Exhibit 2--Building, Exhibit 3--Equipment; (2) Cumulative General Control: Exhibit 4; (3) Master Control: Exhibit 5; and (4) Master Budget Control--Exhibit 6.

Bulletin, 1960, No. 9. OE-27000 AN - 1413416589; ED543949 AB - Achievement approaching mastery in the use of at least one modern foreign language on the part of a large portion of tomorrow's citizens is an objective which is new in American education. Language programs in the high school are therefore undergoing basic modifications in order to establish learning conditions that can develop communication skills. The prime essentials of an effective program of modern foreign language instruction are long sequences of study and systematic practice in listening and speaking, as well as in reading and writing. Since hearing-speaking-reading-writing progression in language learning brings problems to teachers whose principal approach to instruction has been a grammar-translation-reading presentation, this bulletin is offered to high-school teachers as a service of the Science, Mathematics, and Foreign Language Section of the Division of State and Local School Systems, under title III of the National Defense Education Act of 1958. The teaching techniques described in this bulletin are intended for beginning classes at the secondary school level. It is assumed, however, that high schools will provide for the continued progress of any pupils who may have entered from the elementary school with considerable proficiency already in speaking and understanding a modern foreign language.

Bulletin, 1960, No. 12. OE-56001 AN - 1413416563; ED543952 AB - This study was undertaken as a report on a relatively new kind of graduate program. It is intended to present the characteristics of existing general education programs in the humanities for comparison and appraisal. Since this study deals with a relatively new and still experimental field, it should be regarded as a status report, or perhaps even an interim report. It may also be considered a companion piece to papers in the series "New Dimensions in Higher Education," published by the Programs Branch of the Division of Higher Education, insofar as it points to the newer concepts of curriculum, organization, and procedure. The purposes in undertaking this study were to present such programs in the humanities in terms which would permit observation of comparable characteristics as well as differences; to provide information useful to institutions considering such programs; and to furnish a basis for determining their extent and significance as a phenomenon in graduate education. The programs described in this bulletin, although there are great differences among them in content, purpose, and organization, have the following characteristics in common: (1) all take the whole range of humanistic study for their domain; (2) all aim to provide either a broad background perspective of humanistic studies, or cross-departmental avenues of study in the humanities, or both; and (3) all have administrative identity and formal curricular requirements, and lead to a degree in Humanities. Thirteen programs--six doctoral and seven master's programs--are described. Within these two groups, the programs are arranged in alphabetical order by the full name of the institution involved. A general characterization of the program is provided, and each chapter is prefaced by an overview of the program to which it is devoted. The reader is referred to these sections for an accurate introduction to the peculiar scope and approach of individual programs. It is hoped that this report will be useful to all those who are concerned with graduate education, with the staffing of undergraduate general education programs, with the maturation of the humanities as a major discipline, or with other current problems in the changing field of higher education.

Bulletin, 1961, No. 2. OE-57000 AN - 1413416191; ED543980 AB - During the past 60 years, 2-year colleges have increased rapidly in numbers and in enrollment of students. Over 650 institutions of the 2-year type have been established in this short period, and the number of students served each year by the public and private 2-year colleges has grown to the impressive total of over three-quarters of a million. Considering the rate of development of the 2-year college movement, it is little wonder that procedures for the establishment of these colleges have not been examined exhaustively. This study was undertaken by the Office of Education for three reasons. These were to collate and report information on criteria for establishing and developing 2-year colleges presently found in State laws and regulations; to secure and report the opinions of people who have had experience in the 2-year college field on criteria that should be used; and to provide some guidelines which might be used by those interested in organizing a State system of public 2 year colleges or in establishing individual institutions. The Higher Education Division of the Office of Education is pleased, therefore, to present this report of a comprehensive study on criteria for the establishment of 2-year colleges. It is a study that has been frequently requested in the past 5 years, and should make a significant contribution to the literature in the field of 2-year colleges. Contents include: (1) Introduction; (2) Statutory and Regulatory Criteria in Use in 1959; (3) Survey of Professional Opinion on Criteria for 2-Year Colleges; and (4) Some Proposed Criteria and Guidelines for Action. Appended are: (1) Statutory and Regulatory Criteria in Operation in 1959 for the Establishment of 2-Year Colleges by States; and (2) Interview Form on Criteria for Establishing or Continuing 2-Year Colleges.

Bulletin, 1960, No. 24. OE-50012 AN - 1413416185; ED543965 AB - The Office of Education publishes at regular intervals a compilation of lists of institutions of higher education accredited by nationally recognized regional and professional accrediting agencies and by State agencies responsible for accrediting within the various States. This bulletin is the eleventh in the series, replacing the 1956 edition. The purpose in issuing periodic revisions of the bulletin is to record the changes that occur among, and to provide information about, accredited higher institutions to colleges and high-school students. Governmental and nongovernmental agencies and ministries of education in other countries are making increased use of the publication in various phases of their work. In the United States, there is no single agency having jurisdiction over institutions of higher education. Such governmental control as exists is lodged in the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying possessions. It may range from close supervision over the chartering and establishing of new institutions and periodic review to determine their eligibility for continued approval to little, if any, supervision, particularly in the case of privately controlled institutions. State departments of education in most of the States, and State universities in a number of them, engage in some form of approval of institutions within their borders. Wide variation in practices among the States has led to the development of voluntary agencies which have assumed responsibility for establishing criteria and identifying those institutions which have been found to meet and maintain announced standards in the educational activities in which they are engaged. The institutions thus identified are said to be "accredited," and the process, unique to the United States, is known as "accreditation." The material presented in this bulletin is divided into three parts. Part I consists of a compilation of institutions accredited by the six regional associations. Part II reproduces lists of professional and technical schools, some or all of the units of which are accredited by or hold membership in the appropriate organizations. Part III reports information about accreditation and institutions approved or accredited by State agencies. An index is included. Individual sections contain footnotes.

Bulletin, 1960, No. 2. OE-29000 AN - 1413416127; ED543924 AB - This publication continues the annual series of bulletins begun in 1950 as a cooperative undertaking between the National Association for Research in Science Teaching and the Office of Education. The present bulletin summarizes and interprets the research in science education from July 1956 to July 1957. The improvement of teaching in science, as in all other subjects, depends to a large degree upon the extent to which the findings of research are translated into action by science consultants and classroom teacher. The purpose of this bulletin is to assemble the research findings in science education in such a form as to be most useful for this and other purposes. A standing committee of the National Association for Research in Science Teaching made a meticulous search of the book, pamphlet, and periodical literature for the period July 1956 to July 1957. The issues of more than 50 magazines which have carried published research in science education were reviewed. Frequent use was also made of other sources, such as the Education Index. In addition, the committee members reviewed abstracts of unpublished studies in science education which are obtained annually by the Office of Education. Inquiry blanks for these unpublished studies were mailed to over 900 institutions and individuals who have knowledge of current research work in the field of science education. From these two sources the master list of research studies was made, and the studies reported in this bulletin were selected from this master list by applying a set of criteria which the National Association for Research in Science Teaching has established for the evaluation of research in science teaching. This bulletin is divided into three sections: (1) An Examination of the Research (elementary level, secondary level, and college level); (2) Interpretations and Recommendations (elementary level, secondary level, college level, general considerations, recommendations); and (3) Bibliographies (elementary level, secondary level, and college level).

It is intended that this current publication will make available current findings with reference to how schools are presently operating and how they are meeting continuing as well as new problems. The data was gathered on the basis of a refined national sampling technique. The sample was designed to establish a 5 percent confidence level for all national findings and a 10 percent confidence level for all subgroup findings. Stratification was made on the basis of four population groups and four geographical regions. The urban places for the sample were selected through randomization. Of particular value and significance of course, to the cooperative interest and support of the school administrators whose response alone made this complete coverage possible. The data received were electronically processed on computer machines which made a high degree of sophisticated data-processing and analysis possible.

This interest and its own research needs warrant publication by the Office of Education of a comprehensive up-to-date bibliography on financial aid problems and issues. It is limited to published materials on scholarships, fellowships, loan funds, assistantships, and other part-time employment. This bibliography expands and brings up-to-date U.S. Office of Education Bulletin 1957, Number 7, which carried the title "Scholarships and Fellowships: A Selected Bibliography." It should not be confused with "Financial Aid for College Students: Graduate," and "Undergraduate," which were directories of available aid published separately in 1957. A new edition of the undergraduate directory is in preparation and scheduled to be available in 1961. This bibliography is divided according to topics: (1) General and Composite; (2) National Defense Education Act; (3) Costs; (4) Scholarships; (5) Fellowships; (6) Assistantships; (7) Loans; (8) Part-Time Employment; and (9) Foreign Study.

Bulletin, 1960, No. 10. OE-25007 AN - 1413416021; ED543950 AB - Each year numerous research studies are conducted on problems in or related to school and college personnel services. Since many of these studies go unpublished, the results are all but lost to a large segment of people concerned with the improvement and operation of the services. The U.S. Office of Education was requested by the National Association of Guidance Supervisors and Counselor Trainers to cooperate in collecting and publishing biennial summaries of unpublished research in the field of school and college personnel work. The present bulletin carries summaries of research studies completed between September 1, 1956, and August 31, 1958. The publication of these summaries can serve at least two purposes: First, they can be used to bring about some improvements in school and college personnel services for such improvements depend to a large degree on the extent to which research conclusions find their way into operational programs. Second--and perhaps more important--they can stimulate, and serve as a base for, further research studies, particularly those in graduate programs.

Bulletin, 1960, No. 28. OE-54008. [Foreword - Chapter VIII] AN - 1413416015; ED543969 AB - Much significance is attached to college degrees in modern society. The fact that many individuals have become victims of fraudulent institutions that award degrees without the rigorous courses of study prescribed by legitimate institutions, suggests that there may be too much emphasis upon the form rather than the substance of higher education. No comprehensive study of American college degrees has been made in recent years. This study was undertaken to determine the extent of proliferation of degrees and their abbreviations and to provide an authentic directory of American degrees, both earned and honorary. More than 1,600 different academic degrees are currently conferred by colleges and universities in the United States, according to information recently furnished by more than 2,000 of these institutions. In addition, more than 800 other academic degrees have been recognized in past years but, as far as can be determined, these are no longer in current use. Almost 2,600 different abbreviations are used for the 1,600 current degrees. It is the purpose of this monograph to report in detail concerning various aspects of this total number of degrees, 2,400, which are or have been used to mark the successful completion of the wide variety of courses of study offered by American institutions of higher education. This publication should be especially useful to registrars, deans, librarians, department chairmen, and other educational leaders responsible for determining degree plans. It will also serve as a ready reference on matters pertaining to degrees for government employees, representatives of foreign governments, and personnel officers, as well as the general public.

Bulletin, 1960, No. 29. OE-27007 AN - 1413416014; ED543971 AB - The growing practice of beginning instruction in a modern foreign language in the elementary school has created a need for many classroom teachers to become oriented to a whole new field of foreign-language teaching methodology and materials. Since teachers tend to think of language instruction in terms of the English-language arts, the language which their pupils had learned to understand and speak before starting to school, they need new techniques for language habit formation when a second language is introduced. While essentially the process by which the preschool child learned his first language is duplicated, the learning activities must be suited to the interests and abilities of the age group concerned. The purpose of this publication is to suggest procedures which will be useful to teachers who need assistance in this field. It describes a variety of teaching techniques now in use and gives examples of types of materials that have been developed for the elementary school classroom. Sample materials to illustrate several widely used teaching techniques are included for Spanish and French, the foreign languages most commonly taught in the elementary school. Following a foreword and an introduction, the following topics are covered: (1) Listening comprehension; (2) Pronunciation; (3) Dialogs; (4) Narratives and Descriptions; (5) Incidental Learning; (6) Visual Materials; (7) Games; (8) Songs; (9) Testing Oral Skills; (10) Reading and Writing; and (11) Using a Teacher's Guide.

Emphasis is given to ways in which social studies adjusts to the challenges of living in an age of aerospace proportions. A major objective of the publication is to help readers discover ways in which schools are developing various aspects of the social studies, as a means of improving or moving forward their own programs. The information concerning social studies programs has been gained: (1) from close contact with many State and local school systems, professional organizations, and colleges and universities; and (2) from significant publications in the field, especially books, bulletins, journals, and social studies curriculum guides. Following a Foreword, the following chapters are included: (1) Improving social studies; (2) The social studies program; (3) Kinds of learning experiences; (4) Content in the social studies; (5) Methods of instruction; (6) Evaluation of outcomes; (7) Materials and resources; and (8) The teacher of social studies.

Guidance workers, teachers, principals, and parents who have the responsibility of helping pupils plan their program of study frequently feel a need for basic information about foreign language. This bulletin, which provides such general orientation for counselors, is offered as a service of the Science, Mathematics, and Foreign Language Section under Title III in collaboration with the Guidance, Counseling, and Testing Section under Title V, National Defense Education Act of 1958. The following are appended: (1) Foreign language entrance and degree requirements for the B. A. Degree; (2) Foreign Language entrance and degree requirements for the B. S.

This bulletin constitutes the report of the United States substantially as it was submitted at the close of 1959. Because the Secretary General had expressed particular interest in four aspects of teaching about the United Nations, the Office of Education Committee which drew up the report devoted a section to each one and enlisted the cooperation of teachers and specialists in all parts of the country to supply pertinent information. The main divisions of the report deal with teacher training, programs and syllabi, the treatment of the United Nations in textbooks and teaching materials, and out-of-school educational activities relating to the U.N. system. Following a Foreword, five chapters are included: (1) Introduction; (2) Teacher education and the United Nations; (3) Programs and patterns in teaching about the United Nations; (4) Teaching materials for elementary and secondary schools; and (5) Out-of-School education activities related to the U.

OE-15012 AN - 1413415944; ED543968 AB - This publication is the first formal summation of results on a nationwide basis of progress under the Library Services Act, a State-local-Federal cooperative program for extension and improvement of public library services to rural areas. The two previous bulletins of this series have been concerned with "plans"; this publication is concerned with "results." A survey was undertaken by the U.S. Office of Education which confirmed other statistics and information available on the status of public library development in 1956 just prior to the passage of the act. The situation, in brief, was that 26 million people in rural areas were without any public library service, 50 million more had inadequate service as measured by State standards, and over 300 rural counties were without any public library within their borders. Good public library service--freely available to all our people--is a basic part of the Nation's total educational and cultural program. Because most of the people who had little or no public library service lived in nonurban areas, it was for these areas that the Library Services Act was passed by the 84th Congress and signed into law by President Eisenhower in June 1956. A reassessment of the program at this time, through the compilation and analysis of information from State reports, is both useful and necessary. Many sentences in the summaries are taken directly from these reports. This basic information will help in the overall determination of library goals and help guide in the decisions being made in the States and local communities in establishing the best patterns of library organization and the best methods of financial support. Two appendixes provide: (1) State Plan Programs for Fiscal 1959; and (2) Public Law 597, 84th Congress. A bibliography of manuals, surveys, and films is included. Individual sections contain footnotes. (Contains 4 charts and 10 tables.) [Prepared by the Library Services Branch.

Part 1: General Facilities and Equipment. Bulletin, 1960, No. 6. OE-29006 AN - 1413415927; ED543944 AB - The Congress of the United States, in passing the National Defense Education Act of 1958, reflected an ever increasing desire on the part of the Nation to improve the teaching of science and mathematics in its schools. The lack of adequate facilities and equipment had long been considered a major handicap to effective science and mathematics instruction. Practically no data were available, however, to indicate the specific kinds of equipment that were lacking or to judge the adequacy or inadequacy of facilities in public high schools of different types and sizes. Information was not available, either, to indicate whether these schools provided better equipment and facilities for some subject areas than for others. This study was undertaken to supply data which could be helpful in locating the shortages and showing their nature. It is hoped that the present bulletin will point the way to effective use of funds now available for science and mathematics facilities and equipment through the National Defense Education Act, and will highlight those problems in achieving improved teaching of the two subjects which may require a study more intensive than that permitted by the scope of this bulletin. Questionnaires are appended. A bibliography is included. Individual sections contain footnotes. (Contains 8 figures and 24 tables.) [Best copy available has been provided.] AU - Obourn, Ellsworth S.

Bulletin, 1960, No. 30. OE-33007 AN - 1413415889; ED543972 AB - Creative drama, as a language art, has been a part of the elementary school curriculum for a number of years. Community organizations also have long been concerned with offering children rewarding experiences in creative dramatics, and many have pioneered in the establishment of children's theaters. Because of the relatively small percentage of trained personnel in the field, advance has been slow. This bulletin is the result of a joint concern felt by the Office of Education and the Children's Theatre Conference for the apparent lack of easily available material in creative dramatics. There are two underlying purposes in this publication: first, to offer guidance in the art of creative drama "with" children; and second, to give some assistance to enterprising organizations that wish to give plays "for" children. It presents both creative drama and children's theater as an art form and is dedicated to the idea that these forms, when properly implemented in school and community, can bring beauty and richness into the lives of boys and girls. Part I is an interpretation of the place of creative dramatics "with" and "for" children. Part II describes ways and means of guiding children in creative dramatics, and Part III is devoted entirely to children's theater--how to establish one in a community and provide details pertinent to theater production.

Bulletin, 1960, No. 1. OE-23000 AN - 1413415878; ED543925 AB - This bulletin deals with the establishment of selected administrative and specialized service positions primarily from the standpoint of State statutes. The investigation is centered on an analysis of State constitutional and statutory provisions that authorize selected administrative and specialized service positions. Administrative and specialized service positions in four areas: general administration, instructional supervision, pupil personnel, and school health comprise the group whose statutory existence is described. An analysis of statutory provisions that States have enacted to directly support these positions by financial means forms the second major area of the study. Four of the five chapters are concerned with the provisions that pertain to the establishment of the selected positions. The first chapter is an analysis of State legislation on general administrative positions. The second chapter discusses the statutory provisions for instructional supervisors and librarians. In the third chapter, provisions on pupil personnel positions are analyzed, and in the fourth chapter, those statutes that establish school health positions are discussed. The fifth chapter presents a discussion of provisions of statutes that relate to specific State aid supporting selected administrative and specialized service positions. The basic information comprising the source material for the chapters is given in the Appendix, which presents a State by State summary of statutory provisions and a few constitutional provisions as of July 1, 1958. Each State summary is organized so as to relate to the State's general classification of school districts and notes are included to clarify provisions of the statutes on staffing.

Bulletin, 1960, No. 17. OE-14037. [Chapter V - Appendices] AN - 1413415866; ED543959 AB - The continuing interest which American educators and other citizens have attached to Soviet schools and their development has served to encourage the U.S. Office of Education in its efforts to provide the most complete and verified information obtainable on the subject. As expressed in "Soviet Commitment to Education, Report of the First Official U.S. Education Mission to the U.S.S.R.," "We are convinced that it is important for the American people to examine the Soviet program closely and to keep up-to-date on the developments and trends in Soviet education." In pursuit of these aims, the Office of Education sent a second official group of specialists to the U.S.S.R. in the spring of 1959 with the specific objectives of looking carefully at the teaching methods, the general facilities, and the student performances in areas of education particularly emphasized by Soviet authorities in the general school system. At the same time, it was deemed important to study both the foundations and the balance between science and nonscience subjects in the curriculums of Soviet education. The three specialists--William K. Medlin, Clarence B. Lindquist, and Marshall L. Schmitt--under the guidance of Dr. Medlin, the Division of International Education's Specialist in Comparative Education for Eastern Europe, spent a month (May 9 to June 6, 1959) in the U.S.S.R. for these purposes. The present report is the result of their findings. This bulletin is the third major study in as many years prepared and published by the Office of Education on education in the Soviet Union. This publication deals specifically with the foundations, science and polytechnic curriculums in the general school, and with teacher preparation. It is hoped that the authors' findings in such areas will prove especially useful to organizations and individuals seeking factual and documented information concerning "Soviet Education Programs." This bulletin is the third part of a three-part volume. It contains the following sections: (1) Chapter 5: Conclusions; (2) Bibliography; and (3) Appendixes. Appended are: (1) Curriculums for Schools of General Education R.S.F.S.R.; (2) Curriculums for Labor-Polytechnic Schools of General Education; (3) Experimental Schools in R.S.F.S.R. (1957-58); (4) Course Outline for Polytechnic Instruction (Grades 8 through 10); (5) Study Plan for Training Turners; (6) Inventory of Equipment for School Workshops (Grades 5 through 7); (7) Inventory of Basic Materials Which Are Necessary for Studying and for Working Outside of Class Assignments in the Shop; (8) Curriculums for Pedagogical Institutes; (9) Curriculum for University; (10) Topical Outlines of Required Courses in Education at Pedagogical Institutes; and (11) Sample State Examinations in Pedagogical Institutes.

Better instruction in mathematics in our public schools can make a contribution to the quality of our scientific personnel. If research findings are implemented in the classroom they likewise can make a contribution. The purpose of this study is to help implement research findings by making available the results of research in the teaching of mathematics that have been reported to the Office of Education during the calendar years 1957 and 1958. It is hoped that the present study will be helpful both to researchers and classroom teachers in their efforts to improve the teaching of mathematics. Appendix includes: Summary of Research Studies.

A Statistical Appraisal. The Rural School Survey. Circular No. 601. AN - 63212169; ED279453 AB - Of all the school distrcts in the United States in 1956, slightly more than one-third (33.4%) enrolled (including nonresident pupils) 15 or fewer pupils in their schools. Half of these small districts did not operate schools. The number of school districts rapidly declined from 127,530 in 1932 to 48,036 in 1958, representing a decrease of 62.3% during that 26-year period. The school districts which disappeared were disproportionately the smaller ones, reflecting both local and county reorganization. In 1952, 65.9% of the districts enrolled fewer than 50 pupils each, and 14.8% enrolled more than 300 pupils each. In 1956 these percentages were, respectively, 60.1 and 20.5. Despite the increase in the average size of the school districts, many of them employed comparatively small teaching staffs. In 1958, 52% of all operating school districts each employed 9 or fewer teachers. The number of such districts declined by more than half from 1948-58 due chiefly to the elimination of many one-teacher districts. In 1956 the average instructional staff was 3.7 for rural elementary schools and 8.7 for rural secondary schools. In 1958, the states reported a total of 25,200 one-teacher schools--only 12.9% of the 1918 total. (JHZ) AU - Gaumnitz, Walter H.

All of the compounds except BHC were extremely toxic to fish with 96 hour TL sub(m) values generally below 0.1 p.p.m. Endrin was the most toxic with TL sub(m) values ranging as low as 0.6 p.p.b. Bluegills were the most sensitive fish, followed by fathead minnows, goldfish and guppies, respectively. Changes in water quality characteristics (pH, alkalinity, hardness) had no apparent effect on toxicity. Acetone solutions and emulsible concentrates were equally toxic and were the most toxic formulations. All of the chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides except BHC were more toxic to fathead minnows than the most toxic of the organic phosphorus insecticides. Additional areas of needed research are suggested. JF - Transactions of the American Fisheries Society AU - Henderson, C AU - Pickering, Q H AU - Tarzwell, C M AD - Robert A.

This publication was prepared in response to requests from Chief State School Officers and other educators and specialists, and in compliance with the Branch policy to exchange information relating to educational laws with personnel of State Departments and other interested educators. An unprecedented number of laws of significance to education were enacted by the States during 1957. Legislatures in all States except Virginia and Kentucky met in regular or special session, or both. No attempt is made here to evaluate the educational significance of each act or to indicate the frequency of activity in a given area of legislation. As reported an act may introduce or modify one or many educational achievements. It is listed under the heading with which it is most closely associated. During 1957, the following matters received noteworthy attention: (1) Administration and organization; (2) Financial support; (3) Higher education; (4) Personnel; (5) School building construction; (6) Special education; and (7) Students.

Bulletin, 1959, No. 14 AN - 1413416832; ED543900 AB - Public education in the United States is a function of the States. In discharging this responsibility each State has recognized that a considerable degree of local control of education is essential. The establishment of local school districts and the creation of local boards of education to administer school district affairs reflect this point of view. This decentralized control of education places heavy responsibilities on local boards of education. Although State mandatory laws and regulations governing education must be followed, numerous decisions on educational matters have been left to the discretion of local boards. It is not surprising that educational policy making is commonly regarded as the most important function of local school boards. This bulletin is the first in a series of studies on local school board policy. The purpose of this study is to provide information dealing with the characteristics of a number of board manuals. These characteristics have not been presented as recommendations, but rather as an indication of what some boards have considered to be important elements of policy manual. This bulletin is divided into the following chapters: (1) Introduction; (2) General features of the manuals; (3) Board of Education bylaws; (4) Employed personnel administration; (5) The school program; (6) Business management; and (7) School-community relations.

It reports the findings of a survey made to determine the extent to which certain practices relating to faculty or instructional techniques are being followed in institutions of higher education and, more especially the extent to which they are being employed because of faculty shortages. Chapters address: (1) The problem: faculty shortage; (2) Institutional use of specified practices; (3) Comments and observations by the respondents; and (4) Summary. It is hoped that, by throwing additional light on current practices, the findings of this report will contribute to a better understanding of the present status of higher education in our country and the implications for the future. The information presented should be of interest to educators generally and others concerned with higher education. Appended is the questionnaire used in the survey.

Bulletin, 1959, No. 5 AN - 1413416783; ED543875 AB - This bulletin is about the inspiring opportunities for rewarding service to be found in meeting the urgent educational needs of children with impaired speech and hearing. If these children are not to carry serious economic and social disadvantages into their adult years, more remedial speech and hearing teachers must be trained to serve them. Moreover, if these teachers are to be prepared as effectively as possible and if their services are to be of greatest value, comprehensive and intensive research must be devoted to children's speech and hearing problems. Finally, if the approximately 1.5 million school-age speech and hearing handicapped children are to be reached with the necessary services, school programs must be more extensive. These are the needs and the opportunities with which this bulletin is concerned. Material is presented in five parts: (1) The problem of impaired speech and hearing; (2) Prevalence and definition of types of impaired speech and hearing; (3) What can be done in the schools for children with impaired speech and hearing; (4) An urgent need: an inspiring opportunity; and (5) the high adventure of research. Appended are professional training resources and sources of additional information. (Contains 8 footnotes and 2 tables.)

Bulletin, 1959, No. 15 AN - 1413416697; ED543901 AB - Physical education is considered to be an integral part of the curriculum in good elementary schools. Many inquiries come to the Office of Education concerning the role of the classroom teachers and the special teacher of physical education, the policies and procedures which school systems follow in administering the physical education program, the organization and content of the program, and the type of equipment and facilities provided for children in the elementary schools of the Nation. No comprehensive study had been made of the status of physical education for children of elementary school age; consequently, no data based on current practices were available. It was the purpose of this study to provide such information. This bulletin reports data on grades 1-6, and classifies city school systems by city size or geographically by district. The material explores four key topics: (1) Teachers--education and activities; (2) Curriculum--planning and program; (3) Children--evaluation of progress; and (4) Time, facilities, equipment, and space.

Bulletin, 1959, No. 9 AN - 1413416687; ED543895 AB - In recent years, fifth-year programs in teacher education have developed rapidly, especially for the graduates of liberal arts colleges who lack the professional requirements for a teaching certificate. Several States now require a fifth year of college work in granting a standard certificate for secondary school training in the academic fields, and two States have this requirement for elementary school teaching. In addition, some colleges and universities have recognized that their graduate programs were not adequately meeting the needs of the classroom teacher and consequently have reorganized their master's programs; others have expanded 4-year programs to included a fifth year. This bibliography has been prepared for members of the teaching profession whose primary concern is teacher education. Reflecting a trend toward a fifth year of teacher preparation, these selected references include exploratory suggestions and opinions, proposals and studies relative to the content and requirements of fifth-year and five-year programs of teacher education, and descriptions of current practices. The references are arranged alphabetically by author and are indexed by subject and author. It is hoped that graduate students of education will also find it useful. An index is included.

Bulletin, 1959, No. 12 AN - 1413416685; ED543898 AB - Public interest in the field of the retarded child has grown rapidly. One of the more striking aspects of this movement has been the development of interest in the training and education of the severely retarded group of children. This annotated bibliography of more than 300 titles is itself evidence of the pace at which this area has expanded. The publication is one of the series of studies by the Section on Exceptional Children and Youth on the education of mentally retarded. It is a bibliographical review of the literature on the education and training of the severely retarded, who are currently of deep concern to the schools and to communities. The bibliography covers primarily the education of the middle range, or severely retarded child, up to June 1, 1958. While it does not claim to be exhaustive it is believed that it covers fairly completely the published materials on this subject--experimental, theoretical, and practical. All the reports included represent serious attempts to throw light on this long neglected problem, although some of the materials are relevant by implication. (Contains 1 footnote.)

Bulletin, 1959, No. 22 AN - 1413416614; ED543908 AB - This handbook is a guide to property accounting for local and State school systems. It classifies and defines the specific items of information about land, buildings, and equipment that need to be comparable among local school systems and among States, and presents additional terminology essential to their effective use. As such, it is concerned primarily with the elementary, secondary, and community college levels of education. The items of information are called property accounts. They have been developed for use on records forms to be kept by local school districts or other units operating schools. Together with their standard definitions, these property accounts form the basis for accurate recording, reporting and interpreting of property information. Designed for use by all concerned with school property, they provide the basis for maintaining essential information about school property, and for making reports to agencies concerned and to the public. The recommended accounts are adaptable to any school system regardless of size or program. They are comprehensive in order to cover the great variety of conditions to be found throughout the country. Yet, they are arranged so that any school system can easily select those that are applicable to the kinds and amount of property under its jurisdiction and control. An index is included.

Bulletin, 1959, No. 1 AN - 1413416597; ED543871 AB - A substantial number of students drop out of high school at or below the tenth grade. Approximately 35 percent of those entering the ninth grade do not complete high school, and another large group goes through high school avoiding on the one hand direct training in vocational education and on the other the sequences in high school which will prepare them adequately for college. Therefore, about 50 to 60 percent of our youth are ill-prepared for any particular advanced training or for any occupation requiring specialized skills or competencies. Then, too, many students who are adequately prepared for college do not enter college. There are two important courses of action which high schools may take to hold students in school and to encourage the scholastically capable students to continue their education beyond high school. One is to develop curriculums appropriate to the needs of students to prepare them for successively higher level educational and vocational activities. The other course of action is to provide the guidance services needed to enable wise student choices in curriculums and occupations and to stimulate motivation to remain in the appropriate sequences. This bulletin outlines an approach in guidance designed to estimate and utilize characteristics of students at the seventh- to ninth-grade level which should increase the effectiveness of educational and vocational guidance work. The original question which prompted the writing of this bulletin was, "How can we improve the selection of students for vocational education (in high school)?" Upon analyzing the situation, it was concluded that much better "selection" or better "guidance" for aiding students in choosing vocational courses and could be attained. However, it was also concluded that guidance for this particular purpose should probably be considered a part of the total school guidance program and not as an independent and highly specialized procedure. This approach should be helpful in the process of educational planning for all students irrespective of their ultimate educational and occupational goals. Appended are: (1) Two Minor Limiting Features; (2) Note on Cumulative Records for Use With the Essential Data Discussed in This Approach; and (3) Addresses of Publishers of Measurements Mentioned in This Approach.

Bulletin, 1959, No. 23 AN - 1413416202; ED543909 AB - This study is the second in a series of publications by the Office of Education on school insurance. Data for this study were adapted from many sources. Among these sources were books of a technical nature, professional magazine articles, State insurance guides, research studies, insurance rating schedules, insurance company bulletins, and insurance contracts and policy forms. Although insurance is a highly technical subject, this publication avoids technical language except where required. This bulletin deals primarily with school insurance management problems at the local level. It is designed to assist local school officials and State department of education insurance consultants in planning, organizing, and administering the local school district insurance program. It is hoped that this series of studies will be useful t those concerned with improving programs of school insurance. A bibliography is included. Individual chapters contain footnotes.

The bulletin is prepared on the basis of responses given by Federal Departments and Agencies to requests for information about Federal expenditures for educational programs. Through this series of publications, the Office of Education has attempted to provide a central source of authoritative data on Federal activities in education. Information on Federal funds presented in this bulletin is for the latest year available, usually the 1957-58 school year. However, for some programs the Federal offices are unable to report figures beyond those for the 1956-57 school year. Details on the amounts of Federal funds allocated State-by-State and also amounts expended on programs which are national in scope are reported. In addition, summaries show the totals of annual distributions and the amounts provided over periods of as much as ten years. An index is included. (Contains 108 tables.)

It includes libraries which handle entertainment films and those which handle instructional films. A query, in the form of a letter-questionnaire, was sent to 4,920 known or possible 16mm film libraries in January and March 1958, of which 3,660 responded that they were, in fact, 16mm film libraries and agreed to their inclusion in the directory. The listing is arranged alphabetically by state, city, and library name. The annotation of each library contains three items of basic information: (1) The number of films (titles) in the library; (2) the nature of these films, namely entertainment, educational, religious, or sponsored; and (3) special restrictions, if any, on the distribution and use of these films, such as geographical limitations or restrictions required by law.

Bulletin, 1959, No. 28 AN - 1413416063; ED543926 AB - Public schools are finding that an educational program which serves as effective preparation for, and as an adequate transition to employment, may involve activities which have often been considered to be beyond the usual scope of school responsibility. Communities are finding that the task of preparing the mentally retarded for community living and employment provides a unique potential for the development of a program of cooperative action among public school, vocational rehabilitation, and other community agencies. It was for these reasons that the present study was planned. This report is arbitrarily restricted to those feature of the total educational program directed toward preparation of the retarded for employment. It is further limited to a discussion of programs for those mentally retarded adolescents, sometimes called the educables, whose behavioral and physical abilities are sufficient to indicate a potential for ultimate successful adjustment in competitive employment. This report does not set forth a rigid pattern for the organization of services for preparing the mentally retarded for employment. It covers some general principles to be considered and problems which must be resolved in developing a program. It is concerned, too, with some of the practical attempts which have been made to achieve successful results. Section I of this publication includes a general presentation from the public school point of view by Mr. W. Kuhn Barnett, a general presentation from the rehabilitation point of view by Dr. Salvatore DiMichael, and the summary of the conference by Dr. Herbert Goldstein and Dr. Rick Heber. Section II contains summary descriptions of several actual programs now in operation: (1) Baltimore, Maryland (Harold M. Williams); (2) Cincinnati, Ohio (Norman J. Niesen and Eunice B. Dooley); (3) Detroit, Michigan (Paul Voelker); (4) Jacksonville, Florida (Glenn Calmes and Mary McEver); (5) Lansing, Michigan (Marvin Beekman); (6) New York City, New York (Katherine Lynch); (7) Santa Barbara, California (Leonard Rogers and Thomas J.

Bulletin, 1959, No. 19 AN - 1413416024; ED543905 AB - This "Writers' Handbook" was prepared in response to the many requests for "a book that tells how to write textbooks and other educational materials for schools." These requests have come from educators of other countries as well as from the United States. The authors believe that the handbook holds valuable information and suggestions for heads of educational systems who may be exploring such matters; for teachers and librarians who use and evaluate educational materials; and especially for those persons who may desire to write textbooks, and related works, in which children will find both values and joys in reading. The handbook is the outcome of the first Washington workshop for the development of educational materials, a cooperative project of the International Cooperation Administration, The George Washington University, and the Office of Education, which was held February-August 1958. The ever-continuing need for adequate and appropriate educational materials is a widely recognized problem faced by educators around the world. This bulletin is divided into three parts: Part I. Overall Planning, which contains the following chapters: (1) What Are Educational Materials?; (2) Major Steps in Publishing Textbooks; and (3) Making the Most of Printing Resources. Part II. Fitting Materials to the Curriculum, which contains the following chapters: (4) Organization of Time and Material; (5) Developing Materials in Language Arts; (6) Developing Materials in Arithmetic and Science; (7) Developing Materials for Social Studies; and (8) Manuals and Workbooks Aids for Teaching and Learning. Part III. Developing Writing Techniques, which contains the following chapters: (9) Factors in Readability; (10) Developing Techniques for Writing Nonfiction; (11) Developing Techniques for Writing Fiction; (12) Developing Illustrations; (13) Tryouts and Evaluation; and (14) Developing a Writers' Workshop.

Supplement 1. Bulletin, 1959, No. 17 AN - 1413415958; ED543903 AB - This bulletin outlines the programs submitted by 50 States and Territories for the second year of the Library Services Act. These programs reflect the planning and development which has been taking place across the Nation in the extension and improvement of public library service in rural areas. In the first year, fiscal 1957 (July 1, 1956, through June 30, 1957), 35 States and I Territory submitted States plans and programs. These were summarized in "States Plans Under the Library Services Act." In fiscal 1958, 14 additional States and Territories--Alaska, Florida, Guam, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode island, Utah, Virgin Islands, and Washington--submitted their plans and programs. This bulletin contains in addition to the 1958 programs for the participating States and Territories, outlines on "General Aims and Policies and Methods of Administration" of the 14 State plans which were submitted for the first time in fiscal 1958. Taken together, "State Plans Under the Library Services Act" and this supplement to it, present the basic planning for public library development in rural areas for the States and Territories under the Library Services Act. Appended are: (1) Tables; and (2) Principal Provisions of Public Law 597, 84th Congress, 2nd Session. Individual chapters contain footnotes. (Contains 5 tables.)

Bulletin, 1959, No. 16 AN - 1413415947; ED543902 AB - This is a brief report on the observations of the first official United States education mission to the U.S.S.R. The first mission was made possible by an Exchange Agreement negotiated by the U.S. Department of State and signed on January 27, 1958. The agreement authorizes exchanges in cultural, technical, and educational fields to promote mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the Soviet Union. American members of the first exchange group spent one month, from May 8 to June 6, 1958, in the U.S.S.R. While there they conferred with Soviet educators and visited approximately 100 schools and other educational institutions. Their visit was returned by a group of nine Soviet educators in November and December 1958. Since the agreement was made there have been a number of other missions, and hundreds of books and pamphlets have been exchanged between the two countries. Most of the American books sent to the U.S.S.R. were donated by the American Textbook Publishers Institute and various educational associations. It is to be hoped that these exchanges have opened the door to a better understanding between the people of the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R. Their mission had two main purposes: To lay foundation for productive cultural relations between the education agencies and institutions of the U.S.S.R. and the U.S.A. and to secure first-hand information on the operation and accomplishments of Soviet schools. This bulletin contains the following chapters: (1) A Nation Committed; (2) The Administrative System of Soviet Education; (3) Nurseries and Kindergartens; (4) Schools of General Education; (5) Extra school Activities; (6) Education for the Arts; (7) Preparation of Workers; (8) Teacher Education; (9) Academy of Pedagogical Sciences; (10) Higher Education; (11) The Academy of Sciences; and (12) Conclusion. Appended are: (1) Study Plans for Pedagogical Institutes; and (2) Analysis of Reforms. Individual chapters contain footnotes. (Contains 6 tables and 2 illustrations.

Bulletin, 1959, No. 8 AN - 1413415928; ED543894 AB - This study is based upon responses to questionnaires sent in December 1956 to chairmen of departments of anthropology, economics, history, political science, and sociology in a sample of 319 institutions of higher education. The survey just completed provides the first data ever assembled on a large scale of social science requirements for bachelor's degrees. It shows the extent to which institutions of higher education have such requirements and the extent to which anthropology, economics, history, political science, and sociology each may be taken by the student in satisfaction of them. It then proceeds to a study in depth of the courses most frequently taken by students for this purpose. The data thus assembled can be used by administrators, department heads, and professors for reappraising the role of the social sciences in general curricular requirements, and for re-examining those courses shown to be the only ones to which a majority of students are likely ever to be exposed. Appended are: (1) Cover letter and questionnaire employed; and (2) Tabular Material. (Contains 11 tables and 18 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.] AU - Sanders, Jennings B.

Such bulletins are a vital part of a program to increase American understanding of education around the world. They include a growing series of studies on education in the Latin American Republics. "Education in the Republic of Haiti" brings up to date a 1948 Office of Education bulletin of similar nature written by Mercer Cook, Professor of Romance Languages, Howard University. The present edition is based on data gathered by the author in Haiti while there as a member of a technical assistance team in rural education under auspices of the U.S. International Cooperation Administration. This bulletin contains the following chapters: (1) Haiti's Background; (2) School Administration; (3) Teacher Training; (4) Elementary Education; (5) Secondary Education; (6) Vocational Education; (7) Adult Education; (8) Higher Education; (9) Special Education; and (10) Technical Assistance in Education.

Bulletin, 1959, No. 7 AN - 1413415844; ED543893 AB - In September 1947, the National Vocational Guidance Association, through its Division of Professional Training and Certification, appointed a planning committee to work out a manual on the preparation of counselors. Interest in this project spread until seven additional organizations expressed a willingness to cooperate. The results of the study were later published in "Counselor Preparation." All of these activities and subsequent ones have made their contributions. As valuable as they are, however, much still remains to be done. Through surveys, research, evaluation studies, and other means, answers should be found to the following questions: (1) What types of selection and preparation programs are now in existence?; (2) What are the duties and responsibilities of guidance and student personnel workers?; (3) How well do the present programs select and prepare trainees for the duties and responsibilities they will perform or ought to perform later on the job?; and (4) What contributions can and should be made by the various disciplines in the preparation of guidance and student personnel workers? The present study must be regarded as a partial answer to the first question. In no way is it intended as a definitive answer; rather, the data should be looked upon as a base upon which more probing studies can be formulated. This beginning should lead to inquiries which would determine how well guidance and student personnel workers have in fact been prepared for the duties they perform or should perform. The major objectives of this survey were to obtain information concerning: (1) The number of institutions having preparation programs in guidance and student personnel work; (2) Some of the characteristics and the geographical distribution of the training institutions; (3) The type of guidance and student personnel work for which trainees were being prepared and the degrees offered; (4) The trainee selection techniques being employed; and (5) The required curriculum for the preparation of guidance and student personnel workers. In addition, miscellaneous quantitative data were collected to provide some information on the supply and demand of guidance and student personnel workers. A questionnaire form is appended.

There was a wide range in toxicity of the different compounds with 96 hour TL sub(m) (median tolerance limit) values ranging from 0.20 to 121 p.p.m. No relationship was apparent between toxicity and chemical structure. With one exception dilution waters with different characteristics (pH, alkalinity, and hardness) apparently had little or no effect on toxicity. Bluegills were somewhat more sensitive to several of these compounds than fathead minnows. The organic phosphorus compounds were less toxic to fish than many of the chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides. No definite correlation could be established in the toxicity of organic phosphorus compounds between fish, insects and mammals.

Bulletin, 1958, No. 12 AN - 1413416876; ED543841 AB - This bulletin on requirements by States and Territories for the certification of school librarians was prepared to provide a compilation of current certification regulations for school librarians and a summary of practices in formulating these regulations. The requirements for each State were obtained from either the State school library supervisors, or the State certification officers. For all States, the statements of certification requirements were verified by the school library supervisors, or the certification officers. As far as possible, the form and text of State certification requirements of school librarians were retained. Requirements in amount of general education and professional teacher education were inserted when lacking. Information on quantitative general and professional teacher education requirements, when not included by the States in their statements on certification of school librarians, was obtained from "A Manual on Certification Requirements for School Personnel in the United States," 1957 edition, by W. Earl Armstrong and T. M. Stinnett. Information on general State certification requirements in citizenship, health, age, fees, and courses in government and history (United States and State) is summarized in Table III. A bibliography of materials on the subject of State certification providing information on other pertinent regulations is included in the appendix of this bulletin. Nora E. Beust, former specialist for School and Children's Libraries, Library Services Branch, Office of Education, collected the original data for this bulletin in the spring of 1957. The data have been revised to May 1, 1958. Jessie E. Boehlert, Project Analyst, Library Services Branch, assisted in preparing the data. Appendixes present: State school library supervisors titles and addresses by States; State directors of teacher education and certification titles and addresses by States; and five tables.

More extensive information about the program, especially with regard to the procedure in making application for funds, is provided in a separate brochure available on request. The director of each project initiated under Public Law 531 during fiscal 1957 was asked either to prepare a brief description of his project, or to review a description prepared in the Office of Education. These descriptions, as approved by the project directors, are grouped here according to the problem with which they deal. At the end of each description are given the name of the director or chief investigator and the name of the institution or agency with which the contract for research was made. Also included are the serial number by which the project is identified, the duration of the project, and the approximate beginning and ending dates.

Bulletin, 1958, No. 2 AN - 1413416868; ED543831 AB - The present publication is the 87th issue of the annual statistical report by the Office of Education on land-grant colleges and universities. The first issue presented data for the academic year 1869-70; this issue carries the series through 1955-56. The series is distinguished, first, by its long history of 87 years, and second, by the scope of its information regarding the individual colleges sand universities in the land-grant group. The present publication, lists individual institutions by State, without regard to color of the majority of the students in each institution. In the summary tables, which give data for all 69 land grant institutions as a group, the traditional, separation of data for the 17 institutions attended predominantly by Negroes has been discontinued. As in the previous year's bulletin, data from land-grant institutions on enrollments, faculty, and degrees are compared with corresponding data from all institutions of higher education and from all 4-year institutions. Financial data on land-grant colleges and universities are included in the present bulletin; but comparison of these data with data from all institutions and from the 4-year institutions was not possible, because of incomplete tabulation of financial data from the latter groups at the present time. The data on degrees conferred are considered both mote accurate and more adequate than in previous. (Contains 32 tables and 8 footnotes.) [This bulletin was prepared under the direction of Mabel C.

It is the only analysis of the English curriculum in grades 7-12 which has been made by the Office in the past year. This survey includes the four major areas of the language arts: writing, speaking, listening, and reading literature. Besides acquainting teachers, supervisors, and administrators, the general content and nature of language arts guides and courses of study, this bulletin may serve as a source of information for curriculum leaders and committees wishing to consider various approaches to producing or revising courses of study. It tells how language arts curriculum committees are organized how they carry on their work, and the guidelines they follow. It also describes ways in which committees determine scope and sequence for learning activities, how they prepare resource units and how they provide for individual differences. Finally, it points out the major changes which have occurred in the high school language arts curriculum since Dora V. Smith's study, "Instruction in English in 1932".

Bulletin, 1958, No. 10 AN - 1413416788; ED543839 AB - Never before has a fully informed citizenry been more important to the present and future well-being of the Nation than it is today. And yet, recent investigations have shown that 27 million of our children and adults live in areas without any public library service, and 53 million more have only inadequate book and information services available to learn. The Library Services Act (Public Law 597, 84th Congress) will accomplish much to correct this serious deficiency in our Nation's educational facilities. The compilation of summaries of State plans and programs submitted for the first year of operation under the act was undertaken at this time so that everyone interested in public library development might have the benefits of the thinking and planning which has gone into the development of the plans and programs. By June 30, 1957, 35 States and Hawaii had submitted plans whose summaries are included in this publication. Twelve additional States and Territories, that had not submitted plans in fiscal 1957, began participation after July 1, 1957, bringing the total to 48. Following a foreword, the following two chapters are presented: (1) State Plans and Programs for Fiscal 1957: An Overview; and (2) Outlines of the State Plans and Programs for Fiscal 1957. The following tables are appended: (1) Partial Analysis of 35 State Programs for Fiscal 1957; (2) Program Budgets of States and Territories Participating in Fiscal 1957, by Source of Funds; (3) Program Budgets of States and Territories Participating in 1957, by Categories; and (4) Matching Funds for Federal Allotments for Fiscal 1957. Public Law 597, 84th Congress and background material on public library development are also appended. [Prepared by the Library Services Branch.

Bulletin, 1958, No. 6 AN - 1413416686; ED543835 AB - By this study, as by several it has issued in the past few years the Office of Education recognizes the interest of many educators in the core program as a means of achieving some of the objectives of general education at the secondary level. Its first publication, Bulletin 1950, No. 5 entitled "Core Curriculum in Public High Schools," a study of the incidence of the program, was followed in 1952 by a study of problems and practices. A later publication reported upon and analyzed the unpublished research in the field over a 10-year period. Numerous bibliographies have also been made available. The present study directed only at the junior high school grades, combines the purposes of the first two studies. That is, it provides information about the incidence of the program as was done in the Office's first study, and breaks down the programs reported into the same four types spelled out in the 1952 study of problems and practices, thus making it possible the establishment of trends over the past few years. Information contained in this bulletin should be of interest to high school principals, curriculum workers, supervisors, students of core, and research workers who wish to know (1) whether the interest in core and block-time classes as a way of organizing a school's general education program is continuing, and to what degree; (2) in what States it has achieved the greatest acceptance; and (3) to what extent instruction differs in block-time and core classes from that commonly found in single subject classes. Principals filling in the questionnaire were asked to report classes "meeting for a block of time of two or more class periods, combining or replacing two or more subjects that are required of all pupils and would ordinarily be taught separately." Under this definition classes reported need have only the block-time organizational pattern characteristic of core. For this reason the first section of the bulletin reports on "Block-time" rather than "Core." Many principals accept the organizational pattern of core who do not accept, or do not feel that their teachers are ready to use, the content and methods characteristic of the program. They believe that the block of time provides for better articulation with the elementary school than does complete departmentalization. Also they agree that more effective guidance is possible because one teacher with fewer pupils to know has the opportunity to know each of his pupils well. "Inquiry on the Operation of Block-Time (Including Core or Core-Type) Classes in Grades 7-9 of Junior High and 6-Year Secondary Schools" is appended. (Contains 1 figure, 15 footnotes and 13 tables.)

Bulletin, 1958, No. 11 AN - 1413416629; ED543840 AB - Since aging has become a field of increasing interest, many requests for information on the educational aspects of the subject have been received in the Office of Education. Because of the growing number of these requests, and because so few items bearing on education are included in the reference lists in the general field of aging, this bibliography was prepared. It should service both the broad field of adult education and the growing profession of gerontology. This bibliography is a listing of selected titles bearing directly or indirectly upon educational programs and activities designed for the primary purpose of developing skills, knowledge, habits, or attitudes appropriate and necessary for vital, purposeful living during the years of later maturity. The references are arranged in sections reflecting the influence and research interests of a wide variety of disciplines and specialties within the broad field of aging. The annotations are, for the most part, brief summary descriptions of readily accessible titles and materials which may help the reader to make selections in accordance with his own needs and with those of the older adult participant. The bibliography should be useful to social gerontologists, adult education administrators and teachers, personnel managers and placement officers, industrial training supervisors, vocational and rehabilitation counselors, museum staff personnel, and volunteers who are currently engaged in full- or part-time work with the aging. Further, it should serve the needs of librarians in the development of professional and special collections of materials for use in reading courses, or for use in displays and exhibits in connection with general training conferences, workshops, and institutes. The selected items as they relate to education should: (1) Throw light on the role of professional workers, the lay leader, the aging individual, and the officials and members of community organizations in promoting improved attitudes toward aging and the aged; (2) provide information about surveys and research studies in the field of aging and related fields; and (3) describe a variety of helpful programs which are both meeting various needs of older adults and utilizing their talents and resources for the good of the community and the Nation.

Bulletin, 1959, No. 3 AN - 1413416590; ED543873 AB - The Office of Education, in cooperation with the Modern Language Association of America, conducted a survey of language laboratories in secondary schools and institutions of higher education during the school year 1957-58. The procedure was to send a short questionnaire to all the schools and colleges known to have a language laboratory and subsequently to additional places suggested by persons returning the questionnaire. The present bulletin contains a summary of replies to the questionnaire and other pertinent data received from language laboratory directors who supplemented the completed form by sending accounts of how their laboratory was established, how it is maintained and operated, how instructional materials are prepared and used, how problems and difficulties are overcome, and other discussions of assistance to persons planning or operating a language laboratory. The laboratories reported are of all sizes, have many types and combinations of equipment, and employ the equipment in numerous ways. The bulletin is intended to serve: school administrators and teachers; laboratory directors and instructors; research directors, teachers, and graduate students; librarians and directors of curriculum centers; and students. Appended are a sample description of the basic design and possible functions or a language laboratory, the questionnaire, and a list of language laboratories (1957-58) in secondary schools and in colleges and universities.

Bulletin, 1958, No. 7 AN - 1413416205; ED543836 AB - Beginning in 1950 the National Association for Research in Science Teaching and the U.S. Office of Education collaborated in preparing an annual summary of research in the teaching of science. The present bulletin continues their cooperative effort. This analysis of research in the teaching of science contains reports of published studies resulting from a meticulous search of the pamphlet and periodical literature in the field between July 1955 and July 1956. It also contains reports of unpublished studies coming from the returns to an inquiry sheet mailed annually by the U.S. Office of Education to more than 1,200 institutions where graduate work in science teaching is in progress. The studies reported here have been carefully evaluated and selected through applying a set of criteria formulated by the National Association for Research in Science Teaching. The work was carried on by three committees, one for each school level: elementary, secondary, and college. The three committees reviewed all the issues between July 1955 and July 1956 of about 50 monthly magazines which, from time to time, carried research in science teaching. The work was limited by the fact that, in both the published and unpublished studies the committees, for the most part, were working with secondary sources, such as abstracts and articles, and not with the original documents. In the preparation of this report the research for the past decade has also been reviewed in an attempt to discern any trends or patterns. At this time now, when science and technology are playing a very important part in our life and culture, much of the research in science education lacks a broad and comprehensive plan. A considerable amount is unpatterned, makes but a fragmentary contribution to the basic concerns, and tends to deal with peripheral fringes of the major problems. Nevertheless, there is some evidence of progress towards a more patterned research program. Elementary school, secondary school, and college level bibliographies are included. (Contains 2 footnotes.)

First Edition. Bulletin, 1958, No. 15 AN - 1413416204; ED543844 AB - Since any good citizen wants to know how his Government works, as an initial experience it is necessary to become acquainted with the setting--Washington, D. C. This bulletin serves as an introduction to the Capital. It provides an historical and a present-day background for appreciating the city. What kind of a community is Washington? Why does it exist? Was it planned or did it just happen? How large is it? Is there a relationship between its size and its purpose? Does it have the kind of government that exists in most home towns? Who are the people? What do they do to earn a living? How well does the community meet their needs? What historical evidences are there that show the past as a prologue to the present? A tour of the city will help to answer these questions and many others. Such a tour may be taken in person or through reading the story of a group of young people. This story is not an actual record of a particular group or tour, but it is a composite of many experiences. It is based upon diary records of tours taken by one person as a child, as a youth, and as an adult. To these impressions were added those of many elementary school children and high-school youth who have visited Washington recently. In writing about a subject on which authorities sometimes disagree, every effort has been made to secure accuracy. The Columbia Historical Society contributed the time of several members who reviewed this manuscript. Children, young people, and adults were asked to read the story. They talked about the material that interested them most and how it helped them to understand Washington as the seat of Federal Government. Their reactions contributed to the revision. As a result, this bulletin can be used by upper- grade children and possibly by other citizens who wish information of a simple, factual nature. A bibliography is included.

Bulletin, 1958, No. 8 AN - 1413416163; ED543837 AB - This publication is designed to encourage and assist those who seek to improve school systems through the improvement of school laws. This is a revised edition of "Know Your School Law," Bulletin 1952 No. 1, by Dr. Ward W. Keesecker, and is part of the Office of Education program to develop a clearinghouse of timely and useful information on important phases of school law. The purpose of this publication is to stimulate interest in the further improvement of educational laws, to identify legislative need in the field of education, and to suggest guiding principles, procedures, and source material helpful to this end. This bulletin is organized into two parts. Part I, Importance of Educational Law, provides a brief discussion of the significant relationship of educational laws to the quality and efficiency of education. Some suggestive principles and procedures for those who seek to improve the laws governing the administration and support of various phases of public education are also included. Part II, Educational Law, Selected References, presents a selected and annotated bibliography of literature in the field of school law designed to provide source material related to the legal aspects of the principal phases of education.

The purpose was to find out and report: (1) what research says about children a 9,10, and 11; (2) what educators say about today's children in grades 4, 5, and 6, and (3) some good educational practices for these children as defined by local educators. It was decided that research would be studied and summarized; that small conferences (of about 35 members each, including supervisors, principals, and teachers) would be held in various parts of the United States, that selected schools and classrooms must be visited to observe educational processes, and that the results of the study and observation would be made available in bulletin form. A bibliography is provided. Appended are: (1) Some Things Which Give Concern to Educators; (2) List of Conferences Held; (3) List of School Systems Visited. (Contains 26 footnotes.)

Bulletin, 1958, No. 9 AN - 1413416023; ED543838 AB - The establishment of soundly organized local districts for administering the schools has long been a major problem in American education. Methods of dealing with this problem have varied greatly ranging from compulsory reorganization of districts by legislative decree to dependence upon highly permissive laws to be used or ignored as local people might desire. For a number of years, however, there has been a wide-spread movement to make permissive-type reorganization methods more effective, especially through establishing state-wide programs for systematic development of redistricting proposals which must then be submitted to the local people concerned for final approval. This movement has also been accompanied with a growing emphasis upon other factors, besides the reorganization legislation itself, which influence the effectiveness of these newer type programs. In order to determine factors which may facilitate the successful operation of such programs, and likewise factors that may hinder their success, a comprehensive study was made of 16 State programs. The results of that study have been reported in considerable detail in an Office of Education publication, "School District Reorganisation Policies and Procedures." (Special Series No. 5, 1957.) This bulletin summarizes the major findings of that report and also includes all of one chapter, "Guideposts for Successful Reorganization Programs." It has been designed particularly for local school officials, planning groups, and lay citizens generally who may find a summarized version of the longer original report more practical for their needs.

Bulletin, 1958, No. 14 AN - 1413415867; ED543843 AB - In every recent study of education beyond the high school the 2-year college has been considered as a possible solution to the problem of serving adequately the great flood of students that will soon be receiving their high school diploma. The importance of these institutions in meeting the desirable goals of decentralization and diversification is only now being fully realized. The type of 2-year college needed is being considered by many districts and States, and in each case there is the reasonable request for information regarding what has been done before and how can we gain from the experience of others. In response to these many requests and in keeping with the functions of the Office of Education, the Division of Higher Education is presenting this annotated bibliography of projects, surveys, and studies relating to the 2-year community college, the junior college, and the technical institute. The bibliography covers the period from 1953 to 1957 and indicates whether the item described was completed or underway on October 1, 1957. This bibliography has been prepared to provide an overview of the scope and nature of recent junior college projects, surveys, and studies, and of projects, surveys and studies having implications for the junior college; to stimulate further investigations as they seem necessary and appropriate; and to encourage the application of the findings toward the continued improvement of 2-year institutions.

Bulletin, Proceedings of Conference, December 13-14, 1956. 1957, No. 10 AN - 1413416824; ED543796 AB - The purpose of this bulletin is to help teachers, supervisors, administrators, and other educators improve the quality of reading done by junior high school pupils. Interest in ways to teach developmental and remedial reading in the junior high school is nationwide. Junior high school principals and teachers of various subjects are particularly interested in developing schoolwide reading programs. In an effort to assist these professional personnel, the Secondary School Section in the fall of 1956 invited some of the reading authorities, consultants, and directors of clinics to participate in a two-day reading conference, December 13 and 14, 1956, at Washington, D.C. The purposes of the conference were as follows: (1) To consider ways in which sound research findings may be used to improve instruction in reading; (2) To offer suggestions for initiating a developmental reading program; to suggest guiding principles, learning experiences, and types of materials for conducting a developmental reading program in high school; (3) To define the responsibilities of various subject matter teachers for instruction in reading; (4) To outline means for starting a remedial program; to offer guidelines for organizing and operating a remedial program in the junior high school; (5) To consider the relationship of evaluation to reading improvement; and (6) To review two statewide programs for improving reading. The emphasis throughout this bulletin is on research, particularly the implications of significant research for the improvement of reading instruction and for the conduct of sound developmental and remedial reading programs. The document is divided into six sections. Part I--Research in Reading-- contains the following papers: (1) What Does Research Suggest about Ways to Improve Reading Instruction? (Arthur E. Traxler); (2) What Does Research Tell the Classroom Teacher about the Basic Causes of Reading Disability and Retardation? (Margaret J. Early); (3) What Does Research Tell about the Reading Interests of Junior High Pupils? (Arno Jewett). Part II--Developmental Reading--includes: (1) How Can a Junior High School Staff Get a Schoolwide Developmental Program Under Way? (Carl J. Freudenreich); (2) What Should Be the Objectives of a Schoolwide Developmental Program? (George Murphy); (3) What Experiences, Activities, and Materials Are Helpful in a Developmental Reading Program? (Paul Witty); and (4) Reading Experiences to Help Adolescents in Their Search for the "1" (Dwight L. Burton). Part III--Responsibilities for Reading Instruction--contains: (1) What Are the Responsibilities of Language Arts and Core Teachers for Teaching Reading? (Nancy Young); (2) The Problem of Reading Instruction in Mathematics (John R. Clark); (3) The Responsibilities of Science Teachers for Teaching Reading (J. Darrell Barnard); and (4) What Are the Responsibilities of Social Studies Teachers for Teaching Reading? (Mabel Rudisill). Part IV--Remedial Reading--covers the following topics: (1) How to Conduct a Remedial Reading Program (Guy L. Bond); and (2) How to Organize a Remedial Reading Program (Gilbert B. Schiffman). Part V--Evaluation to Improve Reading--includes: (1) How Can Teachers Determine Pupils' Reading Status? (Donald L. Cleland); and (2) How Can Standardized Tests and Other Evaluative Means Be Used to Improve Reading? (Ullin W. Leavell). Part VI--What is Being Done on the State Level to Improve Reading?-- includes: (1) Junior High School Reading Programs in Connecticut (Leonard W. Joll); and (2) The Development of a Program to Improve the Teaching of Reading in Texas (Jewell Askew). The following are appended: (1) Selected References on Developmental and Remedial Reading for High School Teachers and Administrators; and (2) "What Do You Like to Read" (form prepared by Arno Jewett).

Bulletin, 1957, No. 3 AN - 1413416802; ED543789 AB - In recent years public interest in the problems of children who have exceptional educational needs has grown very rapidly. This interest has been especially strong in problems of mentally retarded children. Some of the causes of this development can be identified. The success of specialized programs for teaching these children is one of the more important. New knowledge in the field has stimulated the hope of future expansion of knowledge on this subject. Active and articulate parent groups are contributing to public acceptance and understanding of these children and their needs. As professional leadership in State and local school systems has developed, more and more retarded pupils are being identified and served. State legislative and financial school support have accelerated the growth of programs. The widespread interest and action have created an unprecedented demand for numbers of teachers to work in this area. This publication reports on the part of the broader project, "Qualification and Preparation of Teachers of Exceptional Children," that deals specifically with the distinctive skills and abilities needed by teachers of mentally retarded children. It includes: (1) Competencies needed by teachers of children who are mentally retarded; (2) Opinions on the proficiency of some teachers of mentally retarded; (3) Education and experience for acquiring the competencies; (4) Summary and implications; and (5) Areas for further study. In the examination of competencies, information was gathered by two techniques. First, a committee of experts prepared a report identifying and describing the competencies which they thought to be important and distinctive for teachers of retarded children and youth. In the second approach, a list of competencies was submitted (through inquiry forms) to superior teachers of the mentally retarded for evaluation as to importance. All other information presented in this report was collected by means of inquiry forms, which asked teachers to evaluate their own proficiency in the competencies they had rated for importance. This report, therefore, presents national opinion of recognized professional workers in the field on the special competencies required of teachers of the mentally retarded and on some of the professional experiences that may be needed in developing these competencies. It is hoped that the findings of this report will be of value to a wide range or professional workers concerned with improving the quality of teaching in the field of the retarded. It should serve as an aid to those in the field of teacher preparation in the layout of teacher training programs. It should be helpful to supervisors as a tool in conferences with individual teachers, and in planning in-service programs with them. Finally, it should be helpful in the development of certification standards by defining more clearly the types of preparation which should be required of the teacher. The following are appended: (1) The Plan and Procedures Used in the Study "Qualification and Preparation of Teachers of Exceptional Children"; (2) 150 Teachers of Mentally Retarded Children Participating in the Study; (3) Statistical Procedures and Results; and (4) Excerpts from Inquiry Forms.

Bulletin, 1957, No. 5 AN - 1413416771; ED543791 AB - It is believed that superintendents and principals, school board members, teachers, and employers and other lay citizens--in fact, all those persons who help to decide on public-school curriculum have need for a bulletin in which information is made available concerning work experience education programs. They should be informed about selected publications which describe this program. Enough background material should be made available for them to review the recent development of work as a part of secondary education in American schools. School authorities need to develop an awareness of the educative values in the normal work activities of children and youth, and learn about methods of integrating these experiences in the school program. Teachers and officials need to recognize that there are several types of work experience programs, and that one or all may be put into operation in a single school. Busy school officials need descriptions of several types of work experience programs in order to consider their use locally. Finally, a brief summary of methods of initiating and conducting a work experience education program is needed to serve as a guide on the operational level. This bulletin is designed to serve the local school official who wants to initiate a work experience education program or to assist in evaluation of a program already in operation. Since this bulletin is intended to be a guidebook for those who are interested in initiating a work experience program in a local school system, all types of schoolwork programs are considered, including those designed specifically as vocational preparation for chosen occupations. Included also are those types of work experiences, sponsored, planned, and supervised by the school for their general developmental values. The study is limited to work performed during released schooltime. It includes descriptions of some unpaid work experience programs and some work experience programs without high school credit. An appendix provides lists of: (1) Books, Pamphlets, and Articles from Periodicals and Other Publications from Nongovernmental Sources; (2) Publications from City and County Boards of Education, from State Departments of Education, and from Selected Agencies of the United States Government; and (3) Publications from the United States Department of Labor.

Bulletin, 1957, No. 11 AN - 1413416753; ED543797 AB - One of the major aims of the schools is to develop well integrated and socially adjusted citizens. When personal-social difficulties arise, the schools frequently are called upon to cooperate in programs of prevention and habilitation. The schools, therefore, can and should occupy a critically important position in this as well as in other programs for exceptional children. This is the essential reasoning behind the present publication. it attempts, in an exploratory and preliminary way, to give serious consideration to the appropriate role of the teacher in a program for the socially and emotionally maladjusted, primarily through an analysis of the specific and distinctive competencies that will be required to do a good job in this area. Some of the experiences in teacher preparation that might be helpful are also given consideration. This publication is one of a series resulting from the broad study, "Qualification and Preparation of Teachers of Exceptional Children," conducted by the Office of Education in cooperation with many leaders in the education of exceptional children and youth throughout the United States. It is hoped that the information presented here will bring about an improved understanding of the competencies that contribute to successful teaching of socially maladjusted children and youth. It is also hoped that the information in this publication will serve not only as an instrument for self-evaluation for teachers, but also as a guide for future planning of State and local standards for teachers, and for colleges and universities offering professional preparation for the teachers of these children. Topics covered include the following: (1) The Teacher and the Maladjusted Child: Background to the Study; (2) Competencies Identified and Described by a Committee; (3) Teachers' Evaluation of Competencies; (4) Evaluations of Specific Professional Experiences; (4) Summary and Highlights; and (5) The Teacher Competencies Check List. The following are appended: (1) Office of Education Study: "Qualification and Preparation of Teachers of Exceptional Children"; (2) Information about the 75 Teachers of Maladjusted Children Who Participated in the Study; (3) Additional Information on Statistical Procedures and Results; and (4) Excerpts from Inquiry Forms.

Attention has been given to characteristics of students, their standing in high school and on placement, their reasons for going to college, their financial resources, their subjects of greatest interest, the location of their homes in relation to college, where they lived while attending college, their extracurricular activities, and the extent to which they contributed to the defrayment of their college expenses. Particular emphasis has been placed on length of attendance and reasons for transfer and discontinuance. Three appendixes present: (1) Consultants and Participants; (2) Schedules and Forms; and (3) Tables. A bibliography is included. (Contains 78 tables.)

Bulletin, 1957, No. 7 AN - 1413416739; ED543793 AB - During recent years more and more people have become interested in the question of financial aid to students in institutions of higher education. The Office of Education, in response to the need for more information on the problem, has planned a series of reports, of which this bibliography is the first. For the most part, the books and articles listed in this bibliography were found in the "Educational Index," "Dissertation Abstracts," "Doctoral Dissertations," and "Master's Theses in Education." Some of these were cited in the bibliographies of other theses. A few items are from the thesis catalog of the Office of Education library. An attempt has been made to include in this bibliography articles and other material describing research studies in the field of financial aid to students and in related areas. These areas cover plans of high school seniors, academic performance of scholarship holders, problems of administration of scholarship programs, and proposals for more student financial aid. Some of the material has been included because of its historical interest or because of the research techniques used. All of it is readily available through the usual library resources. Items are listed alphabetically by author, followed by a subject index. [This bibliography was prepared under the direction of Ralph C. M. Flynt.

Bulletin, 1957, No. 13 AN - 1413416713; ED543799 AB - For a number of years, particularly since the early 1940's, there has been a growing movement emphasizing the importance of local boards of education, how they function, and how their effectiveness may be improved. Evidences of this movement are found within a variety of sources: In the increasing amount of research dealing with school boards and their work; in surveys of local school systems; in the numerous articles appearing in magazines for school administrators; in the yearbooks and other publications of the American Association of School Administrators; in the growing number of handbooks and similar publications prepared especially for school board members; and, by no means last, in the rapid growth of the National School Boards Association, along with the activities of its affiliated State associations which have been organized in all except a few States. This bulletin constitutes another addition to the literature in school administration dealing with boards of education. Its purpose is to provide information concerning the statutory provisions in the 48 States governing school board size, selection of the membership, and related factors. In preparation of the bulletin, the help of personnel in State departments of education was sought in checking and interpreting the school statutes involved, and in every instance this assistance was given. Basic data, by state, is appended. (Contains 14 tables and 106 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.] AU - Hall, Morrill M.

Bulletin, 1957, No. 14 AN - 1413416617; ED543800 AB - The Office of Education issues a series of studies on education in other countries. They are based principally on official documentation and other primary sources. The subject is presented within the framework of the political, economic, social, and cultural setting of the particular country. The studies are undertaken to provide information and assistance to schools, colleges, universities, non-governmental and governmental agencies, educators, scholars, government officials, and other groups and individuals. This Bulletin, in keeping with others in the series, presents education in the Soviet setting. Since completion of the manuscript, more complete and up-to-date statistics on the Soviet educational system have become available from a Soviet source. While they differ slightly in some respects from the best figures earlier available, they do not alter the major conclusions of this bulletin. Also since completion of this work, the reorganization of Soviet economic administration initiated in May 1957 along lines proposed earlier in the year by Nikita Krushchev, abolished a number of the industrial ministries which formerly exercised operational control over many higher and specialized secondary educational institutions. Although details of the effect of this change on the educational system are not yet clear, the future educational administrative hierarchy obviously will differ somewhat from that described in this bulletin. A bibliography is provided. (Contains 4 charts, and 23 tables. Individual chapters contain footnotes.)

Bulletin, 1956, No. 9 AN - 1413416575; ED543783 AB - The basic theme of this yearbook, "The Role of the Schools in the Improvement of Community Life," is open to a variety of interpretations. Many factors determine what role the schools will play in a particular country or area, and consequently, what part they may have in community improvement programs. Among the factors are the history and traditions, the economic, political and social conditions, and the culture of the country. Of great importance is the prevailing viewpoint, both among educational leaders and the general population, on the scope and purpose of education. The answer to the question, "To what extent is the school responsible for the type and quality of community living?" will largely determine the extent to which the school will participate in community development programs. This yearbook will describe what is being done in many parts of the world to use education as a creative weapon in the war against instability at the community level. Part I of this document--Some Programs in Action--contains the following papers: (1) The Bolivian Nucleos (Thomas A. Hart); (2) Community Education in Puerto Rico (Fred G. Weis); (3) Community Schools in the Philippines (Jose V. Aguilar); (4) The Role of the Schools in the Development of Community Life (W. E.

Bulletin, 1957, No. 8 AN - 1413416189; ED543794 AB - President Eisenhower, in his commencement address at Baylor University, called upon American universities, supported by private foundations, to devote themselves to the development of educational facilities abroad in areas where such facilities are inadequate or are entirely lacking. At the same time he pointed out the need for the development of knowledge and understanding of other peoples by our own people. His appeal was directed primarily toward education beyond the secondary school and emphasized action by nongovernmental agencies. To stimulate interest among educational institutions, private foundations and other groups, a survey of programs that are already in progress will undoubtedly be of value. This is the purpose of this report. The survey will restrict itself to programs concerned with higher education. More specifically, it will emphasize those programs that lead to the establishment of new centers of learning or the development of existing ones. The survey is presented in three parts: Part I, nongovernmental programs; Part II, United States Government programs; and Part III, participating colleges and universities. The material for Part I was selected from the annual reports, documents, and correspondence of nongovernmental institutions and organizations. Part II presents a broad perspective of United States Government programs, including many that cannot be catalogued on an institutional basis. Part III presents a detailed listing of all institutions, American and foreign, that are participating in programs discussed in this survey, including brief descriptions of specific projects. A selected bibliography is also included. (Contains 61 footnotes.) [This document was prepared with the cooperation of The Inter-Agency Committee on The President's Baylor Proposals.

To make these requirements effective, official action has been taken by Stage boards of education or by legislation. This bulletin is a revision of "Guide Lines," January 1956, published by the Office of Education. The data were supplied by State department of education officials. Some States, now engaged in a study of requirements for certification of guidance workers, may have revisions completed and adopted within the near future. Part 1 of this bulletin lists guidance workers certification by States--34 mandatory and 7 optional. Part II lists certification of school psychologists, who are in some instances labeled counseling psychologists. [Best copy available has been provided.] AU - Brewster, Royce E.

Bulletin, 1957, No. 12 AN - 1413416122; ED543798 AB - On June 8, 1955, Dr. Alina M. Lindegren of the United States Office of Education, arrived in Bonn for a 6-week educational visit to the Federal Republic of Germany. When she mentioned that she had been on a similar mission to Germany in 1935 she was told, "Much has, happened since then. We believe you will find many changes." Much had happened - World War II and a decade of postwar recovery. In the following pages the author tells of some of the changes in education which she saw or felt. The purpose of this Bulletin is to note the changes or trends in education in the Federal Republic of Germany as seen or felt in 1955 by one who, 20 years before in 1935, had similar firsthand contact with education in Germany. Reference to education in other periods is made to the extent necessary for an understanding and appreciation of the significance of the changes made or in progress. A bibliography is provided.

Bulletin, 1957, No. 17 AN - 1413416099; ED543824 AB - In response to requests for more accurate and complete information about financial aid for college students, the 'Division of Higher Education, Office of Education, undertook its Student Assistance Project for the collection, analysis, and dissemination of information about institutional student financial aid. The present bulletin is the third in a planned series of 5 publications of the project. It is concerned with the several forms of institutional financial aid, such as fellowships, loans, and employment for graduate students in the academic year 1955-56. This bulletin is the result of several conferences and many discussions between staff members of the Office of Education and interested groups. The project has had, from its inception, the valuable counsel of a national advisory committee who helped to formulate the original questionnaire and who made many suggestions for the directory. This directory is based upon data assembled by questionnaires sent during May 1956 to 1,855 institutions of higher education listed in the "Education Directory Part 3, Higher Education." The student aid data sought included graduate fellowships, loans, and employment for the academic year 1955-56. An index is included.

State Educational Records and Reports Series Handbook II. Bulletin, 1957, No. 4 AN - 1413416084; ED543790 AB - This handbook is the basic guide to financial accounting for local and State school systems in the United States. It is the second in a series of four handbooks in the State of Educational Records and Reports Series undertaken at the request of a number of national organizations. Handbook I, "The Common Core of State Educational Information," was published by the Office of Education in 1953. Handbooks on property and personnel will complete the series. This second handbook contains standard receipt and expenditure accounts, classified and defined, and additional accounting terminology necessary to their effective use. Universal use of the standard accounts and terminology in this bulletin will: (1) help to insure appropriate initial recording of financial data; (2) improve the accounting for school funds; (3) improve school budgeting; (4) establish a sound basis for cost accounting; (5) improve the accuracy of local, State, and national summaries; (6) facilitate comparisons of financial information among communities and States; (7) enable local and State educational authorities to obtain more suitable needed information for policy determination; (8) improve the accuracy of educational research; and (9) facilitate and improve reliable reporting to the public on the condition and progress of education. Certain additional features have been included in the handbook to enhance its value as a ready reference. Pertinent cross-referencing is designed to make the bulletin easy to use. Topics covered in this document's 12 chapters are as follows: (1) Classification of receipt accounts; (2) Definitions of receipt accounts; (3) Classification of expenditure accounts; (4) Definitions of expenditure accounts; (5) Classification of clearing accounts; (6) Definitions of clearing accounts; (7) Determining per-pupil expenditures; (8) Prorating expenditures; (9) A guide for recording receipts; (10) A guide for recording expenditures; (11) Supplies and equipment; and (12) Glossary of terms.

It lists and describes 550 "new" films--1955 and 1956 productions, earlier films released for U.S. public use in 1955 or 1956, and some pre-1955 films about which information was not available two years ago. The supplement also lists 276 films which have been withdrawn, because of obsolescence and other reasons, from public use during the past two years; and notes major changes in the information given for certain films in the 1955 catalog. Thus, this catalog supplement should be used as a complement to "U.S. Government Films for Public Educational Use." Together they give complete information concerning all motion pictures and filmstrips of the United States Government available for public educational use on November 1, 1956. In this supplement, the following information is given for each film: (1) title; (2) production information--identification of motion picture or filmstrip, Government agency responsible for production, year of release, length in minutes or frames, sound or silent, color or black-and-white, series titles if part of a series, and order number if any; (3) summary of content; and (4) loan, rental, and purchase sources, television clearance.

This report is concerned with one major aspects of the problem: namely, what it costs students to attend college and where they get the money for this purpose. Next to the student and his family, those who finance, govern, and administer colleges and universities are most concerned lest the spiraling costs make it necessary to continue raising tuition and fees until the usual clientele of an institution can no longer attend it. These persons are equally concerned that increased living costs at college may have the same effect. Within limitations set by an expanding economy, both those who provide education and those who acquire it want to know the extent to which these increasing costs are inevitable and the bearing they may have on some of the cherished ideals of the American way of life. In an effort to throw some light on the character of the costs students incur in attending college and on their sources of income for this purpose, the United States Office of Education in 1953 studied the problem as it was faced by full-time, single undergraduate students in 110 colleges that are located in 41 of the 48 States and the District of Columbia. This report presents an analysis of the data obtained from replies to a questionnaire received from 15,316 students, a random sampling of those attending what is believed to be a reasonably representative group of institutions of higher education. The implications of the findings should be of use to students and parents, to those who govern and administer colleges, to public and private agencies, and to individuals who provide financial assistance to college students, to taxpayers, and to those who voluntarily aid in the support of higher education in this country. A bibliography is included. The following are appended: (1) Schedule for Gathering Data; (2) Data Arranged by Cooperating Institutions; and (3) How the Study was Conducted.

Bulletin, 1957, No. 15 AN - 1413415843; ED543822 AB - One of the major problems confronting the leaders of the Nation today is the acute shortage of competent manpower. This problem is recognized in government, business, industry, and education. It has motivated professional groups as well as business and industry to develop incentive programs that have as their aim the proper training and eventual recruitment of high school and college graduates. Though many promising avenues of approach were agreed upon by the conference participants, it became apparent, that a uniform system of pupil accounting would become imperative to a nationwide, study. Such a system was developed during the second work conference. It became the basis of a four-year study of school dropouts in 14 large city school systems, beginning with the ninth-grade class of September 1951. The study which is reported in this bulletin classifies students according to sex and reason for dropout. It provides comparisons of school holding power during grades 9, 10, 11, and 12. It is hoped that this report will encourage independent research of greater magnitude by school systems and individual schools.

Bulletin, 1956, No. 3 AN - 1413416847; ED543732 AB - "Education in Taiwan (Formosa)" is based mostly on official reports of the Ministry of Education published in Taiwan, including other official and private reports which are not yet published. The text has been supplemented with additional data and information obtained from other official sources and through interviews with Chinese educators who have visited the author's office in Washington. This bulletin attempts to give a brief picture of the educational system in Taiwan at the present time. In presenting this information, both time and space should be taken into consideration. Traditions, ideas, or principles underlying the present educational system in Taiwan are similar to those which existed in the Chinese mainland prior to the Communist regime. In addition, most of the teachers, educators, and other school authorities in Taiwan who are responsible for the conduct of education in that country are products of the rich traditions and culture of China. Education on the island also owes debt to the Japanese whose occupation ended with the liberation of Formosa. Among the nations of the world, China has had one of the longest histories; many centuries of tradition and important political and social upheavals have caused many changes both in methodology and curricula. Western and other foreign impacts have also influenced Chinese education. The American influence through Christian missionary activities in the field of education has been important. While the data include certain information needed by school authorities in dealing with student transfers, it is hoped that the scope of the material presented is comprehensive enough to be useful to scholars in the field of comparative education and others who are actively engaged in international educational affairs in official or private capacity.

Bulletin, 1956, No. 11 AN - 1413416750; ED543785 AB - One of the outstanding characteristics of American secondary education is the emphasis that it places upon individual and social needs. Most educators endorse student extraclass activities as an important way to obtain program flexibility, meet individual needs, and attain desirable education objectives. Among the purposes of this publication are the following: (1) To bring together information to point up promising purposes; (2) To furnish school administrators with information to use as a guide to developing better local practices; (3) To suggest ways of organizing and administering certain activities; (4) To show benefits to pupil, school, and community from certain student activities; and (5) To highlight such values as early identification of pupils having special skills and interests, development of skills and understandings usable in later life, retention in school of pupils who otherwise might drop out, and development of a motivation for classwork. The following methods were used to prepare this publication: review of pertinent literature; correspondence with selected schools; school visitation and observation within a limited area; and interviews with leaders and other experienced persons in the three fields. This bulletin is divided into five chapters, as follows: (1) Some school implications of technological change; (2) Aviation as an extraclass activity; (3) Photography as an extraclass activity, (4) Radio as an extraclass activity; and (5) Summary of benefits to pupils, schools, and communities.

Bulletin, 1956, No. 6 AN - 1413416701; ED543780 AB - In a phase of education as relatively new as the education of exceptional children, concepts and practices are constantly expanding and changing. These changes have been accompanied by an increasing recognition of the value of the work done by special education personnel in State departments of education; relatively little attention, however, has been given to the establishment of professional standards for such staff members. Most persons would readily grant that "preparation" and "experience, specialized knowledge" and "skills" and "personality traits and attitudes" all contribute to successful leadership, even without making an objective study to confirm such as generalization. The unanswered question is "What distinctive competencies and skills, what educational background, what specific personality traits and attitudes are of most importance in the development of a fully effective State director or specialist?" To answer the question, these necessary elements must be identified and described in order that they may be presented in such a form as to constitute a goal for State special education leaders, and a professional standard which would be a useful tool in the selection of such personnel. In order to get new light on these questions, information was collected as part of the broad study, "Qualification and Preparation of Teachers of Exceptional Children." This publication reports those findings which have bearing on the professional competence of directors and specialists in State departments of education who are responsible for the education of exceptional children. Specifically, it includes some information on the State directors and specialists contributing to the study, a statement of a committee of experts on the competencies needed by State personnel, opinions on the background of experience and preparation thought to contribute to success in this field, personality characteristics which teachers would like their directors and specialists to have and the services they expect from them, and a summary with implications for future planning. It is hoped that the findings will serve as a guideline to the development of standards for State leaders. Appended are: (1) The Plan and Procedures Used in the Office of Education Study, Qualification and Preparation of Teachers of Exceptional Children; (2) Information About the Special Educators Participating in the Study; (3) Statistical Procedures and Results; and (4) Excerpts from Inquiry Forms.

Bulletin, 1956, No. 10 AN - 1413416599; ED543784 AB - The present publication continues the series of annual statistical reports by the Office of Education on land-grant colleges, which first began for the academic year 1869-70. Data on enrollment, earned degrees conferred, income, expenditures, endowment, and physical plant facilities of the 69 land-grant colleges and universities for the year ended June 30, 1955 are presented in this bulletin. This series is distinguished, first, by its long history of 86 years, and second, by the scope of information regarding the individual colleges and universities in the land-grant group. To a greater extent than previously, the Office of Education is coordinating its data collection from the land-grant colleges and universities with the program of data collection from all institutions of higher education. This procedure facilitates comparisons with other groups of institutions and makes the data more useful generally. Certain features of the present report deserve mention. First, there is provided a summary of the numerous laws (dating from 1862) under which Federal funds are allotted to the land-grant institutions. Second, the text has been expanded to call the reader's attention to various important figures of the tables. Third, two new tables have been included on degrees conferred by the land-grant institutions (tables 10 and 11). Finally, data have been systematically introduced to show the relative magnitude of the land-grant component in American higher education. Thus, the 69 land-grant institutions, constituting 5.1 percent of the 1,344 4-year institutions of 1954-55, included 20.3 percent of the total resident college-grade enrollment in 4-year institutions in November 1954, conferred 39.3 percent of all doctoral degrees granted in the year ending June 30, 1955, and were responsible for 54.2 percent of all expenditures for organized (separately budgeted) research in the fiscal year 1955. The summary of legislation presented in the Appendix was prepared in consultation with Lloyd E. Blauch, John Hesphey, Walworth Brown, and Luke M. Schruben. (Contains 30 tables and 10 footnotes.)

Bulletin, 1956, No. 7 AN - 1413416120; ED543781 AB - School insurance programs often present major problems in school administration. School insurance of various types is one means of preventing or limiting financial loss from property damage or the claims of individuals for injury or damage payments. In varying degrees the States have delegated to certain local administrative school units and/or institutional boards the responsibility for administering the educational program in their areas of influence. This responsibility is often construed to carry with it an obligation to protect and preserve the physical properties of the district and also to some extent to protect the school administrative unit or its officials from damage or injury claims. The different local boards assume these responsibilities in various ways. There are many types of insurance coverage purchased by the schools and the total annual premium costs may become a major budget item for a school district. School insurance problems are of concern both to the local districts and to the State. This study is limited primarily to school insurance experiences on a State-wide basis. It gives specific attention to the total premium costs, the losses, and the loss ratios for one area of coverage--that of fire insurance on all school properties--for the 5-year period 1948-52 inclusive, as developed on the basis of the classification agreement of 1947. In addition, the study gives attention to the experiences of the five States which have developed State-operated school insurance programs which are applicable to elementary and secondary public schools. This study presents data on both privately managed and State sponsored fire insurance programs as they apply to schools. These programs are operated on different bases and no effort is made to compare or to evaluate the relative merits or costs of the two types of programs. Individual sections contain footnotes.

It is a revision and an expansion of the Office of Education publication, "A Directory of 2,660 16mm Film Libraries," which was prepared and issued three years ago. In the compilation of this directory, a 16mm film library has been defined as any "company, institution, or organization which lends or rents 16mm films within the United States." This is the basic criterion that was used in compiling the directory so that it is a State-by-State and city-by-city list of sources from which 16mm film can be borrowed or rented. This directory includes libraries which handle entertainment films and those which handle instructional films; it includes libraries which have only one film and libraries which have thousands of films. It includes commercial dealers, colleges and universities, city and State school systems, public libraries, industrial companies and trade associations, labor unions, civic groups, religions institutions, and Government agencies. The second criterion used in compiling the directory is this: Only those 16 mm film libraries which assented to their being listed in the directory have been included.

In the present report, figures are given for the two most recent years if they are available. In some instances, expenditure figures for the 1955-56 school year will not be reported until later, and the Federal office did not wish to report allotment or budget figures. For these, the most recent data are for the 1954-55 school year. Bulletins in this series of publications are issued in response to a continuing interest in Federal funds appropriated or alloted for educational services. In publishing the reports, it is the purpose of the Office of Education to provide a central and authoritative source of information on the educational activities of the Government which require the expenditure of Federal funds. This bulletin contains the following chapters: (1) Federal Participation in Education; (2) Educational Programs of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare; (3) Educational Programs of the Department of Agriculture; (4) Educational Programs of the Department of Defense; (5) Educational Programs of the Department of the Interior; (6) Educational Programs of the Department of State; (7) Educational Programs of the Veterans Administration; and (8) Educational Programs of Other Federal Offices.

Bulletin, 1956, No. 2 AN - 1413415936; ED543731 AB - One of the notable evidences of growth in the field of educational radio and television is to be found in the increasing volume of new literature as it emerges each year. The Office of Education's Radio-Television Services, under the direction of Franklin Dunham, have followed the practice through the years of issuing periodically a bibliography of some of the most significant editions. Emphasis has been on books devoted to the historical, philosophical, and sociological aspects of the media, together with those which deal with vocational training for careers in radio and television. A limited number of technical books of a general nature are likewise included for teachers, administrators, and students. Except for what is regarded as standard texts having continuing value, the present edition does not include previous listings which are now more than 10 years old. Replacing the older books are nearly one hundred and fifty new ones, the majority of which deal with some aspect of the newer medium--television. It is hoped that this new edition of the "Bibliography of Radio and Television" will prove valuable not only to those who are working with radio and television in our schools and colleges, but to all broadcasters as well.

Bulletin, 1955, No. 11 AN - 1413416887; ED543727 AB - The function of supervision is to help schools do their work better. Systematic appraisal of objectives and procedures in supervision is continually pointing the way to more effective methods of accomplishing this purpose. Because educators have become dissatisfied with the outcomes of this kind of supervision, many of them are seeking more effective ways of bringing about improvement in supervisory practices. Although the educators who participated in this study expressed many differences of opinion, most of them believe that good school supervision is a resource, consultant, and leadership service that schools use to help them provide better learning situations for children and adults in their communities. This publication reports the beliefs of many educators about supervision, the principles upon which there is most agreement, and some practices in rural school supervision that illustrate the principles. It also includes some reports on ways to appraise the effectiveness of supervision. Many educators in the United States have contributed to this bulletin: teachers, supervisors, principals, college teachers, State department consultants, county and rural area superintendents, deans of education, and specialists in the Office of Education. Through correspondence, work conferences, individual interviews, observing supervisors at work, research studies, and committee work they have answered the questions: What is good supervision? What are the guiding principles? What are some of the best supervisory practices in rural areas? How can the effectiveness of supervision be appraised? To begin this search, the author took advantage of many opportunities to learn what supervisors believed to be good supervision. After taking part in many discussions and serving as consultant in many work conferences she prepared some statements on supervision which appeared to be in harmony with the major beliefs of the educational leaders with whom she had been working. These statements were discussed with a number of educational leadership groups and are presented here in the appendix entitled "What is Good Supervision?" (Contains 16 footnotes.)

Bulletin, 1955, No. 12 AN - 1413416886; ED543728 AB - This bulletin is one in a series of publications already issued or now projected by the Office of Education as part of a major study of the junior high school, its status, problems encountered, and promising practices found among some of the more than 3,000 junior high schools. The general idea for this report came from the thinking and planning of the entire Secondary Schools Section. This study attempts to throw light on the status of the junior high school in the 48 States to the extent that presentation and interpretation of State policies and practices governing it can do that. It considers State policies for establishing junior high schools. Information included was obtained primarily from a survey of the most recent handbooks and manuals of the State departments of education and supplementary material they submitted.

Bulletin, 1955, No. 5 AN - 1413416635; ED543721 AB - Accreditation practices and the standards used to accredit secondary schools should reflect the best that is known about secondary education if they are to serve a real purpose. To this end, responsible State agencies are constantly reexamining and revising their practices and their standards. The present study is designed to make it possible for all States more easily to examine their standards and accreditation practices in the light of what other States are requiring and recommending. These accreditation practices and the standards by which schools are accredited are reported in this publication. Treated briefly are the historical development of standards, the meaning of standardization and accreditation, the State agencies which accredit, and the methods they use. Some 30 standards are then discussed and examples are included of typical statements as well as some that possibly are indicative of trends even though they are not typical. The content of some of the more frequently recurring qualitative standards, such as the school program and preparation of staff, is analyzed. Standards themselves are often minimum requirements; schools are urged not to be satisfied with their attainment, but to go beyond them as fast as physical resources and circumstances permit. Frequently the State department of education accompanies its standards or minimum requirements with recommendations or goals which it believes the school should strive to attain. These recommendations are reported in the present study whenever feasible. The following are appended: (1) Documents Used in the Development of This Study; and (2) State Personnel Who Provided Information for This Study. A bibliography is also included.

Bulletin, 1955, No. 8 AN - 1413416036; ED543724 AB - The present publication continues the series of annual land-grant college reports which had their beginning with the academic year 1867-68. The series is distinguished, first, by its historical continuity, and second, by the scope of the information presented regarding the individual colleges and universities in the land-grant group. Attention is called to a number of changes in the report for 1953-54. As a result of the adoption of a new inquiry-form on enrollment, most of the enrollment data refer to the month of November 1953, rather than to the entire academic year (though data for the entire academic year are also included). For the first time, data are presented on "full-time" and "part-time" students, respectively. In addition, so-called "special" students are classified as undergraduate or graduate, depending on the level of work pursued. (Again, however, a separate count of the "special" students is also included). The number of professional fields for which enrollment-data are presented has been expanded, especially in the health professions; and the number of "graduate" students in each professional field has been tabulated. For the first time, extension and correspondence students are subdivided into college-grade and non-collegiate. Finally (with respect to enrollment), data are included on the number of veteran students in the land-grant institutions. With respect to faculty, library staff members have been separately listed, and a separation has been made between faculty members having the rank of instructor or above, and those with rank below instructor. With respect to finances, the usual percentages analysis of educational and general income for all land-grant institutions has been supplemented by a presentation for four different groups; viz, those with income above $30,000,000, those with income from $20,000,000 to $30,000,000, etc. A similar percentage analysis is included for educational and general expenditures.

Bulletin, 1955, No. 6 AN - 1413416034; ED543722 AB - Educational programs for deaf children have been in existence in the United States for almost a century and a half. Through these instructional programs, much has been accomplished which contributes to the lives of those who are deaf, and, during recent years, significant advances have been made in understanding deafness and its treatment--especially in the area of communication. This has bearing on the competencies needed by teachers who are to instruct deaf boys and girls. Because of a demand for more precise understanding of these competencies, the broad study "Qualification and Preparation of Teachers of Exceptional Children" was undertaken. The information from this broad study which has bearing on the qualifications of teachers of deaf children is reported in this publication. Specifically, it includes findings on: (1) "competencies" needed by teachers of children who are deaf; (2) some opinions on the "proficiency" of some recently prepared teachers of the deaf; (3) "education" and "experience" for acquiring competence; and (4) a "summary statement including implications" for planning and research. Two techniques were used to gather information for this report. One was the use of inquiry forms; the other was the work of a committee of experts in the education of the deaf. A large proportion of the information in this bulletin was provided by 100 classroom teachers of deaf children and youth. The opinions of these special teachers were sought, since they were currently in close daily association with deaf children, and would be in a position to make practical judgments about the competencies and experiences which make teachers effective. The opinions present desirable professional standards rather than minimum standards for qualification and professional preparation. It is hoped they will serve to set goals for the future and offer guidelines against which many other ideas and opinions may be helpfully measured. The following are appended: (1) The Office of Education Study: "Qualification and Preparation of Teachers of Exceptional Children"; (2) Background Information on the 100 Teachers of Deaf Children; (3) Information on Statistical Procedures and Results; (4) Inquiry Form Used to Collect Information from the 100 Teachers of Deaf Children; and (5) Additional Information on Statistical Procedures and Results.

Bulletin, 1955, No. 3 AN - 1413415990; ED543719 AB - For a number of years there has been a growing interest in the specialized field of teaching English as a second language in the United States and abroad. Many colleges and universities in this country have offered special courses for foreign students. Several institutions have offered programs for the preparation of teachers in this field for assignments at home or in other countries where exchange teachers of English are in demand or in connection with English teaching in the binational cultural institutes in those countries. Because of the new emphasis in studying English teaching abroad since 1945 and because many teachers and supervisors of English instruction have come to this country for further training, there has been a real demand for information and materials on the teaching of English as a foreign language. With this need in mind, the Office of Education published a bibliography of materials in this field. Teachers of English will find a variety of uses for the materials gathered herein. A total reading of the book will give the most complete survey of the literature available anywhere. The bibliography is intended to cover the period from 1946 to the end of 1953 and some of the more important titles which appeared during 1954 while the material was being edited. The first part of the bibliography, "Materials for the Teacher," is definitely selective in its coverage. A few titles were chosen for each section from among those more generally accepted as outstanding and which seemed most helpful for the teacher. The second part, "Materials for the Student," is more inclusive than selective of the materials the author was able to examine first hand. A supplement and index are included.

Bulletin, 1955, No. 4 AN - 1413415932; ED543720 AB - This report presents ways to identify the superior pupil and methods to provide for his needs. For the purposes of this report, superior pupils are defined as rapid learners in academic subjects. They are the pupils in the upper 20 percent in general intelligence whose abilities lend themselves readily to intellectual pursuits. This report provides the names of many schools as examples of institutions using specific procedures or methods to identify the superior pupil. The reader should not conclude, however, that any procedure is used only by the schools named nor that these schools are the most outstanding schools using any particular method. In most cases the fact that the authors visited the schools is the reason why a particular institution is cited as an example. The authors do not assume that any of these schools will be used as models nor that the entire procedures of a school will be adopted in a new situation. However, some elements of programs described may be helpful to local schools planning similar programs. No standard formula can be applied in all schools; hence, the procedures described should only suggest ideas for further study by local school staffs. The authors have in fact written this bulletin for this purpose. This report covers the following topics: (1) The superior pupil in junior high school mathematics; (2) Classroom provisions in mathematics for the superior pupil; (3) Out-of-Class activities in mathematics; (4) Organizational provisions for the superior pupil; (5) Identifying the superior pupil; (6) Use of community resources; and (7) The school staff. The following are appended: (1) Long Beach Public Schools Office of Counseling and Psychological Services: Collection Data Sheet--SP; (2) Modesto City Schools: Very Able Student; (3) Santa Barbara City Schools: Supplementary Identification of the More Capable and Talented Students in the Secondary Schools; (4) San Diego City Schools Department of Guidance, Psychology Section: Maturity Rating Scale for Gifted Pupils; (5) Nichols School, Evanston, Illinois: Form for Aiding 7th Grade Math Teachers to Classify Incoming Pupils; (6) Passaic City Schools, Passaic, New Jersey: The Good Teacher of the Mentally Gifted; and (7) Hawthorne Junior High School: Teacher's Report for Homeroom Adviser and Parent Conference.

Bulletin, 1954, No. 5 AN - 1413416864; ED543697 AB - This bulletin represents a cooperative effort of nine secondary school specialists in the Office of Education to picture the provisions used in large high schools to adapt teaching methods in different subjects for pupils who are not average. It is recognized that a pupil may be a rapid learner in one subject and a slow learner in another. Each of the specialists gather and reported the information relating to his special field. A common pattern was followed in presenting the data in tabular form. As will be obvious to the reader, each writer was encouraged to use his own individual style in describing and interpreting the data in his tables.

One of the topics that comes up for frequent discussion in the high school field is the Carnegie Unit. It has been our experience that very few people in or out of high school know the story of the Carnegie Unit. The purpose of this bulletin is to explain in detail the origin, status, and trends. The chapters are as follows: (1) Introduction and purpose of study; (2) History of the Carnegie Unit; (3) The present role of the Carnegie Unit in secondary education; (4) Efforts to improve or displace the Carnegie Unit; and (5) Summary: The case for and against the Carnegie Unit.

This bulletin is the tenth in the series, replacing the 1952 edition. The purpose in issuing periodic revisions of the bulletin is to record the changes that occur and to provide information about accredited higher institutions to college and university officers, State department of education officials, and college and high-school students. Governmental and non-governmental agencies are making increasing use of the publication in various phases of their work. Lists furnished by regional, professional, and State accrediting agencies as of the spring of 1956 are reproduced in this bulletin.

Bulletin, 1954, No. 11 AN - 1413416743; ED543713 AB - This bulletin is essentially a revision of an earlier one--"A Survey of Cooperative Engineering Education," Bulletin 1949, No. 15, now out of print--by the same author, using some of the same content, but with new data and broadened coverage. It attempts to cover all cooperative education programs at the college and technical institute levels, rather than concentrating on engineering programs, as did the earlier bulletin. The bulletin presents an organized outline of the basic philosophy and objectives of this relatively new system of education, its administrative and operating problems, and the values resulting from its operation. Included is a discussion of the utilization of the cooperative plan by Federal agencies, a development to which the author has actively contributed. The author of this bulletin gathered material from numerous interviews with college, industrial, and governmental officials, from special memorandums and other unpublished materials, through visits to college campuses, and through correspondents with many interested people. This study indicates that when local conditions are propitious, the cooperative system affords a workable method of combining practical industrial experience with theoretical instruction in such a way that each reinforces the other. If the program is organized and administered with proper attention to educational values, with adequate supervision of students' employment as well as their academic work, and with the whole-hearted cooperation of the employers and the institution, it can result in important values to the student, to the institution, and to the employers served. This bulletin contains the following sections: (1) Nature and scope of the cooperative plan of education; (2) Origin and development of the cooperative plan; (3) Philosophy and objective of cooperative education; (4) Administrative and operating requirements; (5) Patterns of organization and administration; (6) Cooperative education for Federal agencies; (7) Values inherent in the cooperative plan; and (8) Summary and conclusions.

Bulletin, 1954, No. 1 AN - 1413416577; ED543693 AB - For some time, leaders in special education have expressed the desire for a national overview of State certification requirements for teachers of exceptional children who, because of their limitations and their particular needs, require special help. This bulletin, prepared as a part of an Office of Education Study, "Qualification and Preparation of Teachers of Exceptional Children," is an attempt to supply the necessary information. The purpose of this bulletin is: (1) to present a summary of the present status of State certification requirements for teachers of exceptional children; and (2) to report opinions expressed by some special education personnel on certain aspects of certification. It reflects some trends in certifying procedures, but, in general, is confined to a reporting of status information. The information presented in these page affords opportunity to make comparisons from State to State and from one area of exceptionality to another. It is hoped that the availability of such information will form a basis not only for such comparisons, but also for improved planning of the professional requirements for the teachers of the Nation's handicapped and gifted children. Topics covered in this bulletin include: (1) The need for professional standards for teachers; (2) A national picture of State certification; (3) Overview of current certification requirements; (4) Some specific in State requirements; and (5) Some opinions concerning State standards. Appended are: (1) The Office of Education Study: "Qualification and Preparation of Teachers of Exceptional Children"; and (2) Minimum Requirements by States, for Regular Elementary Teaching Certificates.

In the present report, figures are given for the two most recent years if they are available. In some instances, expenditure figures for the 1953 to 1954 school year will not be reported until later, and it is unsatisfactory to the Federal offices to report allotment or budget figures. For these, the most recent data reported are for the 1952 to 1953 school year. Bulletins in this series of publications are issued in response to a continuing interest in Federal funds appropriated or allotted for educational purposes. In publishing the reports, it is the purpose of the Office of Education to provide a central and authoritative source of information of the educational activities of the Government which require the expenditure of Federal funds. This bulletin is divided into six chapters, as follows: (1) Federal Participation in Education; (2) Educational Programs of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare; (3) Educational Programs of the Department of Agriculture; (4) Educational Programs of the Department of the Interior; (5) Educational Programs of the Veterans Administration; and (6) Educational Programs of Other Federal Offices (Atomic Energy Commission, Canal Zone, Department of Commerce, Department of Defense, Department of Justice, Department of State, Department of the Treasury, District of Columbia, Foreign Operations Administration, National Science Foundation).

Bulletin, 1953, No. 9 AN - 1413416564; ED543870 AB - The Office of Education has long been interested in the development of public libraries as agencies to further the educational progress of the nation. Beginning with 1870, it has issued at intervals statistical compilations on the status of the various types of libraries. Marking a change in that program, the comprehensive collection covering basic data for fiscal 1939 was devoted exclusively to public libraries as was also the one treating fiscal 1945 statistics. This current study, which deals with 1950 statistics, is thus the third in a new series designed to set forth at regular intervals the status of public libraries throughout the United States. These national analyses have proved useful to educators, library administrators, governing boards, appropriating bodies, professional associations, and others interested in the development, efficient management, and full utilization of these educational agencies. This compilation of 1950 data also carries some comparisons with statistics in previous studies, which may be helpful in noting trends. Answers were sought to the following questions covering the fiscal year ended during 1950: (1) How many public library systems are operating in the United States?; (2) How large are the collections of books and related library materials?; (3) How great is their use?; (4) What is the annual amount of public library income and what are the sources?; (5) For what purposes and in what amounts are public library incomes spent?; (6) What size staffs and what levels of workers are operating these libraries?; (7) What sizes of population groups are these libraries serving?; (8) What sizes of geographical areas are these libraries serving?; (9) What is the extent of bookmobile service?; and (10) What are the units of support for public libraries? In this nationwide study, the term "public library" has been defined as a "library which provides free library service of a general nature to the people of its community." In addition to the well-known tax-supported public library--municipal, county, or regional--this definition includes those privately controlled libraries, supported by endowment or other invested funds, which render without charge general library service to the community or to a considerable portion of it. Public-school libraries are not included unless they are open to the adult public and render service beyond that connected with the curriculum of the school. (Contains 16 tables and 19 footnotes.)

Bulletin, 1954, No. 9 AN - 1413416133; ED543711 AB - The purpose of this study is to help persons who are faced with the task of improving or developing curriculum materials in mathematics and also those persons who frequently rethink the objectives for the teaching of mathematics. In this study 135 courses of study or curriculum guides in mathematics are analyzed and a comparison is made with a similar analysis in 1932. The general nature of the study, such as, geographic distribution of the guides, method of binding and publishing, dates of publication, and number of pages, is given in the "Introduction." Following the "Introduction" is a general description of the contents of the local curriculum guides. The guides vary greatly in each category whether they are for junior high schools, senior high schools, 6-year high schools, or 4-year high schools. A detailed analysis of the local curriculum guides shows that during the past 20 years there has been an increase in the percentage of guides that contain the following material: broad aims in mathematics that are related to the general objectives of secondary education; a psychological and unit organization of the subject matter; an emphasis on the relationship of the content to the detailed aims; content related to the child's needs; visual aids; suggestions for testing attitudes and appreciations; and provisions for revising the guide. In general, State guides no longer contain standards for classification and promotion. No doubt, this reflects the philosophy of placing the responsibility for standards upon the local school system. Although required standards may hinder teacher experimentation, suggested standards of attainment may promote higher levels of achievement and give inexperienced teachers a feeling of security. Various approaches to curriculum development are found in both the local and State guides. Appended are: (1) State Curriculum Guides in Mathematics; and (2) Local Curriculum Guides in Mathematics.

Bulletin, 1954, No. 8 AN - 1413416078; ED543710 AB - Under the provisions of the Morrill Act of 1862, the income from certain public lands, or the equivalent in script, was granted to the States for the advancement of instruction in agriculture and the mechanic arts in at least one college in each State. Subsequent acts expanded the scope and increased the Federal support of the colleges and universities participating in the land grants. Provisions of the Federal acts as they pertain to the land-grant institutions are explained in "Land-Grant Colleges and Universities," Bulletin 1952, No. 21. One of the functions of the Office of Education since its establishment in 1867 has been to collect and disseminate information on the land-grant institutions. In this bulletin are presented data on staff, students, earned degrees conferred, income, expenditures, endowment, and physical plant facilities of the 69 land-grant institutions for the year ended June 30, 1953. The 69 institutions represent one college or university in each of the 31 States which do not maintain separate schools for white and Negro students (except for Massachusetts where there are 2 land-grant institutions), 2 in each of the 17 States which do maintain separate schools for white and Negro students, and 1 each in the Territories of Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. Generally speaking, the land-grant institutions are colleges and universities under State control. Universities with varying degrees of private control, however, are utilized as land-grant institutions in Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. In Massachusetts both the University of Massachusetts (public) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (private) participate in the land-grant funds. Data for the 69 institutions (tables 1-18) are divided into two groups, "52 institutions" and "17 institutions for Negroes." The term "52 institutions" is used when referring to the 32 institutions in States which do not maintain separate schools for white and Negro students, the 17 institutions for white students only in those States which do not maintain separate schools for white and Negro students, and the 3 Territorial institutions.

Bulletin, 1954, No. 10 AN - 1413416048; ED543712 AB - In recent years, numerous questions have been raised in correspondence and in conferences about the education of children in grades seven and eight. In response to the interest expressed, the Elementary Schools Section of the Office of Education invited a group of educators representing administrators, supervisors, teachers, and teacher-educators to a conference to discuss the need for a study of educational programs in these grades and the methods by which a study might be carried out and reported. It was decided in this conference that such a study would be useful to school administrators, supervisors, and teachers and that it should be undertaken by the Office of Education. Schools were selected in several ways. Letters were sent by the Elementary Schools Section of the Office of Education to the director of instruction in each State Department of Education explaining the study and inviting him to name several schools in the State which might be visited in search of good practices in the education of 7th and 8th grade children. In carrying out the observations, an effort was made to visit schools in every State and to include a wide variety of schools. The present bulletin, then, is the result of research, observation, and interviews. "Part One" reports the results of research into characteristics and needs of children commonly found in grades seven and eight and projects some characteristics of desirable educational programs for them. "Part Two" reports some of the things schools included in this study are doing for children and some of the ways in which these schools work with parents and the community. Little attempt is made to evaluate the practices reported here; rather it is left to the reader to make his own evaluation of the immediate or long-range value of any practice in meeting the needs of children of these ages in the United States in their steady growth toward maturity. Appended are: (1) Concerns expressed by administrators; (2) Concerns expressed by teachers; and (3) Concerns expressed by parents. A bibliography is included.

Bulletin, 1954, No. 12 AN - 1413416043; ED543714 AB - This bulletin has been prepared to help teachers and parents understand the contribution of creative expression in the all-around development of children. In order to achieve balance among the various learning activities, a school program needs to give appropriate emphasis to the creative arts. Because all the arts are closely related, a broader, sounder learning experience can be provided when each of the arts can supplement the others. Many illustrations are offered in this bulletin to show how children and teachers living and working together in elementary school classrooms can create songs, poems, stories, rhythms, dances, pictures, handicrafts, and other art forms. This bulletin is one in a series based upon the publication, "The Place of Subjects in the Curriculum," Office of Education Bulletin 1949, No. 12. These publications are designed to discuss in more detail problems of teaching in some of the subject areas; and to analyze situations and illustrate ways in which teachers can help children do a better job of living and working together. This bulletin is organized around questions which may arise in making opportunities for creative expression available to children. A bibliography is included.

It consists of an account of the activities of the Commission carried on during its 3-year (1950-53) tenure (Chapter One), descriptions of related activities carried on in the different States and dioceses (Chapter Two), and an analysis of secondary education and a look ahead (Chapter Three). In the opinion of the writers Chapter Three is of sufficient significance to warrant the use of its title for the entire publication. The chief value of the National and State activities reported in the first two chapters is in the foundation they provide for a look ahead and for planning the next steps to improve secondary education in the United States. Selected bibliographies are appended. (Contains 2 tables and 28 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.] AU - Cummings, Howard H. AU - Gaumnitz, Walter H. AU - Hamilton, Allen T.

Bulletin, 1954, No. 13 AN - 1413416000; ED543715 AB - This bulletin is a report on certain aspects of college and university programs for the preparation of special education personnel. In this publication, no attempt is made to evaluate the quality of these programs. Instead it gives an overview of current opportunities in the United States for the preparation of special education teachers, and reports some status information on programs now in operation. This is the fourth nationwide study on special teacher preparation which the Office of Education has conducted, or in which the Office has contributed through collaboration. The purpose of this bulletin is to furnish information on these programs. Efforts have been made in this publication to provide information which will aid prospective teachers in the selection of a center for their specialized preparation. Too, the data should be useful to colleges and universities which are initiating or extending special education offerings. Finally, it should be helpful to State and local school administrators in their search for qualified educators to teach the Nation's 5,000,000 exceptional children. Appended are: (1) The Office of Education Study--"Qualification and Preparation of Teachers of Exceptional Children"; (2) Number of students, degrees granted, and faculty members in special education reported by colleges and universities which offered sequences of preparation during the academic year 1953-54; and (3) Excerpts from inquiry form used in collection of data. (Contains 4 tables and 7 maps.) Individual sections contain footnotes. [Funding for this paper was provided by the Association for the Aid of Crippled Children of New York City.

Bulletin, 1957, No. 2 AN - 1413415986; ED543788 AB - During the academic year 1955-1956 Dr. Helen C. Lahey, Professor of Education at City College of the City of New York, New York, served as Fulbright guest professor at the Pedagogical Seminar in the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Vienna, Austria. While in Vienna Dr. Lahey was granted permission for research in the archives and library of the Ministry of Education where she received direction and guidance from the director of the teacher training institutions in Austria. Through the cooperation of the Austrian Ministry of Education and the United States Information Service in Vienna, a lecture tour of all Austrian teacher training institutions and universities was arranged in June 1955. She also had the opportunity to visit schools in Vienna and to make a survey of the agricultural and special schools as a guest of the provincial governments of Salzburg, Upper and Lower Austria. The present study on Austrian Teachers and Their Education since 1945 is based on the data gathered by the author during her year abroad. The study examines: (1) The Second Republic and Education (Austrian Education in the Aftermath of War; Elementary Teacher Education; Secondary Teacher Education; Balance Sheet, 1945-46); (2) The Preschool Teacher (Historical Development of Preschool Teacher Education; Development after World War II; Present Status of Preschool Education; Education of the Exceptional Child; Preparation of the Preschool Teacher; Salary, Status, and Tenure; Proposed Reforms); (3) The Teacher in Austrian Elementary Schools (Organization of Elementary Education; Teacher Education; Appointment; Teachers of Needlework and Home Economics; In-service Education; Status, Salary, and Tenure; Social Security, Pensions, and Retirement); and (4) The Teacher in Austrian Secondary Schools (Organization of Secondary Education; Education of Teachers; Appointment; In-service Education; Commercial Secondary School Teachers; Teachers of Industrial Arts; Salary and Tenure; Social Security, Pensions, and Retirement).

Bulletin, 1954, No. 2 AN - 1413415900; ED543694 AB - The Office of Education is engaged in the preparation of a series of basic studies on education in a number of foreign countries. These studies are a part of a program to promote American understanding of educational conditions in these countries and also to furnish American college registrars, students of comparative education, and those in Government or private agencies engaged in international educational activities with data on foreign education. The scope and the text of such documents have varied from time to time depending on the nature of the need. This bulletin is based on data gathered by Dr. Abul H. K. Sassani. While data include necessary information needed by school officials who deal with student transfers, the scope of the material presented is wide enough to be useful to scholars in the field of comparative education, particularly those who are interested in knowing the role that education plays in the life of this new Moslem State. The reader will find comparatively more detailed information on higher institutions of learning than in any other phase of education in Pakistan. The bulletin is organized into the following chapters: (1) Pakistan and her people; (2) Educational development; (3) Kindergarten and elementary education; (4) Secondary education; (5) Technical and vocational education; (6) Teacher education; and (7) Higher education.

It is a revision and an expansion of the Office of Education publication, "A Directory of 2,002 16mm Film Libraries," which was prepared and issued two years ago. It is hoped that this annotated directory of film libraries, arranged by States and cities, will be helpful to all groups interested in obtaining and using 16mm films and, furthermore, that the information provided in this directory concerning the resources and services of more than 2,600 film libraries will be useful in the national defense programs. The directory includes libraries which handle entertainment films and those which handle instructional films; it includes libraries which have only one film and libraries which have thousands of films. It includes commercial dealers, colleges and universities, city and State school systems, public libraries, industrial companies and trade associations, labor unions, civic groups, religious institutions, and Government agencies.

Bulletin, 1953, No. 4 AN - 1413416578; ED543865 AB - Results of school district reorganization may be viewed in a number of ways. Frequently progress is measured in terms of the number of local districts eliminated by incorporating their territory in larger units. Results may likewise be measured by increases in the number of new districts having certain characteristics of size or other features commonly associated with adequate local administrative units. Such methods have obvious practical values in looking at the results of reorganization and assessing its progress. Their validity rests on the conviction that larger districts are more capable of providing the scope and quality of services required in a modern program of education that can be provided effectively by districts of very small size. However valid this conviction may be, the establishment of larger districts is not a magic process automatically resulting in improvement of educational services. It merely makes such improvements possible. In other words, the larger district constitutes a more adequate structure which enables local people to provide better education for their children. This does not mean that school district reorganization is not directly concerned with better schools. Its important outcomes are educational in nature. Improvement of educational opportunity is the basic consideration. This is the underlying purpose of reorganization legislation and the guiding principle which charts the course for reorganization leaders. This report is an outgrowth of a study undertaken by the Office of Education with the assistance of eight State departments of education to provide information concerning some of the major characteristics and educational achievements of reorganized school districts established in recent years. The information obtained as a result of that study has been arranged in two reports. The first described the general characteristics of 552 reorganized districts located in the eight States participating in the study (California, Idaho, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, and Washington). This second report presents information relating to certain educational changes which have been made in these 552 districts since their establishment. (Contains 21 tables.)

Bulletin, 1953, No. 5 AN - 1413416162; ED543866 AB - This study reports data concerning: (1) enrollments in mathematics; and (2) administrative provisions for instruction in mathematics. The data are for the school year 1951-52 and the first semester of 1952-53. The scope and nature of this investigation were influenced by: (1) suggestions of leaders in mathematics education as to information most needed in mathematics education; and (2) nature of requests in correspondence concerning mathematics instruction to the United States Office of Education. In developing and carrying out this study, the author received valuable suggestions from the executive secretary, board of directors, past officers, and State representatives of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, and other leaders in mathematics education. The author also wishes to acknowledge the contributions of the many principals of the Nation's public high schools who furnished detailed data which made the study possible. The sample used in this study is 1,171 randomly selected high schools of the 23,746 public high schools of the United States. Of these 1,171 high schools, 965 provided all or part of the information requested. There were 857 public high schools that provided complete and usable information upon which this study is primarily based. (Contains 60 tables and 5 footnotes.)

Bulletin, 1953, No. 3 AN - 1413416106; ED543864 AB - Few educational responsibilities have greater far-reaching importance to the people of a State than the establishment of a sound local district structure for administering the schools. Keeping that structure adapted to changing conditions in society by reorganization of small ineffective districts into larger administrative units more capable of providing needed educational services has for many years been a persistent problem in American education. It is also one in which much progress has been made, especially during the past 10 years when the total number of local school districts in the Nation has been reduced by more than one-fourth. Although that reduction has been accomplished by means of various procedures, a major portion of it has come as the result of State programs of local school district reorganization providing for the active participation of local people in developing local reorganization plans and delegating to them the responsibility of establishing new districts proposed in such plans. Since 1940 a number of State programs of this nature have been initiated while others having the same general characteristics of local participation and decision have been in operation considerably longer. This report is an outgrowth of a study conducted by the Office of Education for the purpose of providing information concerning some of the major characteristics of reorganized districts established in recent years and of indicating some of the most noteworthy educational changes resulting from their establishment. The second part of the study, dealing with educational changes in reorganized districts, will be made the subject of a separate report. This study has been a cooperative undertaking throughout the various stages of its development. The chief State school officers in each of the eight states (California, Idaho, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, and Washington) approved the study as one which should be undertaken and in each instance designated a staff member to assist in conducting it. These State school officials assisted in the development of data-gathering schedules used for collection of information, and also designated the districts to be included in the study. An appendix presents the items from the inquiry form on which this report is based. (Contains 19 tables and 1 footnote.) [Best copy available has been provided.] AU - Fitzwater, O. C.

A Report of a Joint Conference of the Cooperative Committee on the Teaching of Science and Mathematics of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the United States Office of Education. Bulletin, 1952, No. 15 AN - 1413416051; ED543657 AB - The Cooperative Committee on the Teaching of Science and Mathematics of the American Association for the Advancement of Science that participated in planning for and publishing this bulletin is composed of representatives of seventeen national scientific and mathematical societies including representatives from the associated teaching organizations. The Committee has been seeking the improvement of science and mathematics teaching in secondary schools for about two decades. In 1947 the Committee prepared a treatise on the effectiveness of the schools in the training of scientists. The report, issued as an appendix to "Manpower for Research," volume four of Science and Public Policy, appraised mathematics and science teaching in grades 1-12 as well as in institutions of higher learning. Recommendations looking toward the strengthening of weaknesses were given. Many of the recommendations are of high pertinence today largely because they were not heeded 5 years ago. Since 1949 the Committee has been holding its fall meeting with interested staff members of the Office of Education. Beginning in 1950 this fall meeting has been the occasion for a conference of leaders concerned about scientific personnel and ways to bring about desirable training programs. In 1951 the conference emphasized the place of high-school instruction in alleviating the shortage of specialized personnel for industry and defense. The fall conference of 1952 focused attention on the identifying of high-school students with potential for science and mathematics and providing opportunities for their development. This report with emphasis on science and mathematics is of special pertinence today because of the importance of scientific research to discover new basic truth and to design and manufacture new products for defense and progress. This report was prepared from addresses and discussions at the conference. Appended are: (1) Program of the Conference; and (2) Conference Participants. A bibliography is included.

Chapter one contains definitions of terms used in this handbook. These definitions explain general terms and not specific items for the collection of information. The terms are arranged alphabetically according to subject, with cross references. For example, the definition of "Intermediate administrative unit" appears under "Administrative unit, intermediate." However, for convenience, the term "Intermediate administrative unit" is inserted in alphabetical order with a cross reference to "Administrative unit, intermediate." This arrangement makes possible the grouping of terms in broad categories with the convenience of an alphabetical arrangement. For example, terms dealing with different types of administrative units are grouped together, and terms dealing with different types of personnel are grouped together. Chapters two through ten contain the items to be recorded and reported annually for the school year that has just been completed. Chapter eleven contains the items to be recorded and reported in the fall of each year for the school year in progress. All items have been numbered consecutively throughout the handbook, with the number always appearing at the left-hand margin of the page. An index is included.

Bulletin, 1953, No. 2 AN - 1413415888; ED543863 AB - Written expression is a skill greatly needed by children and adults as a means of communication in their daily living. In this bulletin there are suggestions for the teacher who wants to use sound methods in teaching children to express themselves in writing. The authors attempt to show that language arts is an important part of the total school program that is good for children; and that it contributes to other learning activities. The purpose of this bulletin is to show teachers and parents that the development of written expression is a continuous process which begins simply with young children, and adds to their sills during each year of their elementary school lives. The material is organized around some of the questions that teachers and parents ask about how children learn to express themselves in writing. The six most important questions are discussed: (1) What is the place of writing in the total school program?; (2) Why do children need to write?; (3) How do children learn to express themselves in writing?; (4) What part do handwriting and spelling play in written expression?; (5) What opportunities do children have to write in purposeful situations?; and (6) How can children be encouraged to do creative writing?

Bulletin, 1953, No. 1 AN - 1413415887; ED543862 AB - This is the final annual report on the 69 land-grant institutions for the year ended June 30, 1952. A preliminary report giving selected data was prepared and distributed at the meeting of the Association of Land-Grant Colleges and Universities which met in Washington, D. C., November 11-15, 1952. Land-grant colleges and universities are so called because public lands were granted to the States for their establishment or support. These institutions carry out the purpose of the First Morrill Act (1862) and participate in the Federal appropriations made in accordance with the Second Morrill Act and supplementary legislation. The friendly relations which have developed between the Federal Government and the land-grant colleges in the States have borne fruit in fields beyond "agriculture and the mechanic arts." From the start, the land-grant institutions have contributed to national defense through instruction in "military tactics" (now organized under the Reserve Officer Training Corps programs of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force). In recent years, the land-grant institutions have also contributed generously through the services of their staffs in missions for "Point IV" and other governmental programs. An additional service has been rendered in connection with special governmental research, particularly in the fields of health and defense; in fact, the Federal funds for such research in the land-grant institutions (almost $100,000,000 in 1951-52) are now more than double the amount currently granted under the various land-grant acts. It would appear that the Federal-State relationship established in the land-grant colleges has brought benefits to all the parties of interest: the colleges, the States, the Federal Government, and the nation. This fact lends additional significance to the statistical tabulations of the present report. This year's statistics show decreases in student enrollment and degrees conferred, and increases in number of staff, total income, expenditures, and Federal funds.

Bulletin, 1953, No. 6 AN - 1413415854; ED543867 AB - This bulletin is one of a series that tells how teachers, pupils, parents, and other citizens have worked together to improve the quality of education for the children of their communities. "How Children Use the Community for Learning" describes the work of a city school of 450 pupils with no regular supervision, the Garfield School of Cambridge, Ohio, from 1950 to 1952. The building in which the boys and girls and teachers worked was not a new or modern schoolhouse. Yet by working together to meet the needs of the children and solve problems as they arose, the staff, pupils, and community made the beginnings of a program that is meaningful to the children and promises to lead to better living. At the same time, the boys and girls made greater progress in the school subjects than had been made by the pupils of previous years. Other schools in the United States have the problem of providing good elementary school programs in similar situations. Perhaps the ways of working described in one locality will suggest ideas that many schools similarly situated can use in providing more meaningful curriculum experience for their boys and girls. The story of this bulletin begins with a study of a survey of the Cambridge schools in 1948. The survey tells how teachers, principals, and superintendents paused to take a critical look at procedures they had long taken for granted. In one section of the survey about the school program, teachers were asked to consider and answer certain questions centering in four commonly accepted objectives: (1) academic development; (2) social growth; (3) esthetic development; and (4) physical development and health.

Information for individual States and agencies is shown for fiscal year 1971. Vocational rehabilitation agencies in 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam furnished the data which were collected on a basic report form; since three different versions of the form were used during the five-year period, the data, in some instances, either are not entirely comparable from year to year or else are not available for each year. National information is shown for fiscal year 1971 and, wherever possible, for the preceding four years. The State data book, customarily issued following this publication, will not be published for fiscal year 1971; instead, many of the characteristic items are included in this document, including the State ranking table. By request, information is shown for agencies for the blind.

AN - 63892765; ED133350 AB - The Career and Occupational Development (COD) assessment of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) was made up of about 70 percent free response exercises requiring hand scoring. This paper describes the techniques used in developing the "scoring guides" for these exercises and summarizes the results of two empirical studies of the application of these scoring guides. The guides used in the hand scoring were sets of nominal (descriptive) category systems. No attempt was made to arrange the categories along any ordinal continuum according to either quality or content. However, categories were considered to be either acceptable or unacceptable. The readers were given a scoring guide in which each category is given a descriptive title and illustrated by a number of sample responses.

AN - 63809539; ED145202 AB - This short booklet describes the results of the National Assessment of Educational Progress' (NAEP) survey of the knowledge, skills, and attitudes, of students aged nine, thirteen, and seventeen and young adults in America to determine their career and occupational development (which included many elements of career education). (The survey, conducted as one way of evaluating the need for career education programs, took place during the 1973-74 school year. It describes skill levels existing before large numbers of career education programs were implemented, and was intended to suggest areas to consider in designing, implementing, and evaluating career education programs.) Results presented are responses for the nine- and seventeen-year-olds and cover the following areas: looking for information (Where do you go to find out about possible careers?); job-seeking skills; job knowledge (duties, pay, and training requirements); job aspirations (What kinds of jobs do American young people look forward to? Are their aspirations in tune with today's economic realities?); sex stereotypes (interests, skills, aspirations); job discrimination; and differences in achievement. Sources of additional information on the National Assessment are included. (SH) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Summary).

Following a summarization of the COD objectives, this manual, in four chapters, provides information on how to use the materials in the kit, including how to administer the assessment items and how to interpret the results. Four appendixes comprise approximately half the document and include a guide to survey sampling (twenty pages); a table of items showing administration type, scoring type, and timing; definitions of National Assessment reporting groups; and National Assessment scoring rules for open-ended items.
