Book excerpt: The purpose of high-school education has generally been twofold--not only to furnish preparation for college, but also to provide some of the elements of a liberal education for those whose formal and directed study is to go no further. In not a few communities high schools were established in which the former purpose was expressly waived; but even in these schools the gradual broadening of college entrance requirements has combined with the pressure of able and ambitious pupils to establish college preparation as a recognized purpose of high-school work. More recently a new type of high schools has been devised, to furnish preparation as direct as possible for certain special vocations, notably those of the machinist and the merchant. These will be dealt with in another report. This report is confined to high schools of the general type. Appended are: (1) Mathematical instructions for evening technical schools; (2) The teaching of mathematics in private correspondence schools; and (3) The teaching of mathematics in schools and colleges for negroes. Individual sections contain footnotes. (Contains 5 tables and 5 figures.) [Best copy available has been provided.].

Book excerpt: The secondary technical schools of the United States, because of their heterogeneity, present peculiar difficulties to an investigation along the lines laid down by the International Commission. While such schools have existed for many years, it is particularly within the last decade that a great increase in their numbers has taken place, for it is within that period that the tendency to break away from the traditions of the general secondary schools and to bring the schools into close contact with industrial and commercial life, rather than to raise to a maximum their efficiency in furnishing preparation for higher education, has become a movement of sufficient strength to alter essentially the character of existing schools and to determine that of those newly established. The "manual training high school" is the oldest of the important types of public secondary technical schools in the country. As a type, moreover, it is the most conservative of the schools to be considered in this report, in that to a large extent the traditions of the general secondary school have been retained and the function of the school as an instrument of preparation for higher education emphasized. At the other extreme stands the "trades school," a type which is in its infancy as a public institution but examples of which existed for many years as private or endowed institutions. These school types are in the province of Subcommittee 1 (Public, Private, and Corporation Trade Schools). The schools considered by subcommittee 2 (Public and Private Commercial Schools) fall into three classes--high schools of commerce, commercial departments of general secondary schools, and private commercial schools (the so-called "business colleges.") The secondary agricultural schools studied by subcommittee 3 (Agricultural Schools) are of recent origin. More than the schools of the other two classes they are supported in whole or in part by State rather than municipal appropriations, and consequently are to a greater extent under State supervision. All of the schools in question are the most recent results of that movement which has led to the establishment of the technical colleges and secondary schools, namely, the movement toward bringing the instruction within the school into closer contact with the phenomena and problems of life outside the school, and toward making the knowledge gained in the school more immediately useful to the pupil when he leaves. Reports of the subcommittees and a supplementary report are presented herein. (Contains 2 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.].

This book was released on 1911 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proportion of school children and other students in the United States who are required to take examinations other than those set by the teacher for his own classes is exceedingly small. Except in New York State, where a considerable number of children in the elementary and secondary schools are accustomed to taking examinations set by the State education department, almost the only examinations of the kind are those set by a small number of colleges and by the college entrance examination-board at the point of transition from the secondary school to the college. Notwithstanding the fact that only a very small proportion of the school children in the United States are examined for admission to college, college admission examinations constitute one of the most powerful influences bearing upon the work of the secondary schools. Teachers in the secondary schools in every part of the United States recognize in the examinations set for admission to college a concrete illustration of generally accepted standards; and institutions like the college entrance examination board are in constant receipt of communications, asking that, by means of the examinations, an attempt be made to influence the methods of teaching various subjects. It has been urged by eminent educators in the United States that the requirements for graduation from the secondary school and the requirements for admission to the college should be made identical. If this be a true educational principle, its application certainly cannot mean that the colleges should be compelled to make their requirements for admission conform to standards determined wholly by the secondary schools. It also seems that it would be quite as unreasonable that the secondary schools should be compelled to make their standards of work conform to requirements established by the colleges, without consideration of the conditions actually existing in the secondary schools. When the college entrance examination board was organized in 1900, the principle of cooperation was made fundamental. The board represents not only a cooperative effort on the part of a large number of colleges and universities, but also a cooperation between the colleges on the one hand the secondary schools on the other hand, in respect to a matter of vital importance to both. The most important immediate benefit derived by the secondary schools from the operations of the college entrance examination board is the possibility of unity in class work. Perhaps the greatest and most far-reaching effect of the examinations of the board, however, will ultimately be the raising of the standards of work in the secondary schools, as these standards are higher than those set by most individual schools. This bulletin deals specifically with examinations in mathematics and the numerous questions that have arisen regarding the nature and extent of these examinations, such as, by whom are they given, to what extent are they a factor in determining promotion, how valuable are they as a basis for promotion, and are teachers more particular about promotion in mathematics than in other school studies. An index is included. [Best copy available has been provided.].
