Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the liberal movements dominating the thought of the world today, the greatest of all is the sweep of education. No phrase or dissertation can compass the entire scope or catch all the essential elements of the newer education that is shaping itself. But everywhere one direction is apparent: The trend of education is toward the people in mass and group without regard to condition, class, or circumstance; toward men, women, and children as human beings having without distinction full claim on equal opportunity to enjoy the benefits of art and science. Literature, history, philosophy, all of the subjects that were once studied by a privileged few, are now being sought by a rapidly increasing number who have but recently acquired some leisure. The people are calling for knowledge, for that education which opens the door to complete living. "Educational extension" is one of the terms that has been applied to the movement. It has come into use in the United States to describe the numerous ventures designed to meet the demand for knowledge and training. Educational extension includes many devices and instruments of instruction. The purpose of this bulletin is to give information on a subject of the university extension movement. Contents include: (1) University extension--development and definition; (2) History of university extension; (3) Relation between the English and American movements; (4) The war and educational extension; (5) Federal division of educational extension established; (6) National association incorporated; (7) Essential elements of university extension; (8) Institutions pursuing several activities; (9) The content of extension; (10) The extent of extension service; (11) Directory of general extension services; (12) Notes in State university divisions; (13) General extension in agricultural colleges; (14) The organization of extension work; and (15) List of extension publications. An index is included. Individual sections contain footnotes. [Best copy available has been provided.].

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Department of the Interior Bureau of Education Bulletin, 1917, Vol. 25: Military Training of Youths of School Age in Foreign Countries Military training may present, as regards hygiene, serious inconveniences; it implies rigid discipline, which is condemned by true pedagogy. Outside of that it produces results that are only partial, limited, and special. This opinion relates to military training regarded as a method of physical education. But by the same authority military instruction is termed a work of urgent interest to the country and to all young citizens. These quotations represent fairly the attitude of enlightened and patriotic French opinion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Oglethorpe University Bulletin written by Oglethorpe University and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oglethorpe University Bulletin: February, 1916 October, 1919; Volumes 1-4 But while courses have thus been shaped in various institutions for the man who may wish to be a minister, or a teacher or an engi neer, or a mechanic, or a farmer, it is only recently that some of our leading American universities have offered courses designed for the student who expects to be a business man. One reason for the failure of so many schools to take care of this tremendous body of students lies in the fact that it is practically im possible to operate successfully such a series of courses without the use of a great city as a laboratory of instruction. The location of Oglethorpe University in the suburbs Of Atlanta, Georgia, supplied this fine opportunity which the management of the institution has been quick to grasp. The School of Commerce at Oglethorpe, which will open with a Freshman class in the fall of 1916, consists of a full four years' course in studies relating to practical business administration and indus trial life. Upon its successful completion the degree of Bachelor Of Commerce is conferred upon students pursuing it. The courses in the School of Commerce, as outlined below, are equivalent in dignity and importance to the courses offered in the Schools of Arts, Science and Literature. It is no longer necessary for a young man who expects to spend his life in the business world to pursue a course of study specially adapted to a student for the ministry, nor to waste his time in studies that are of no value what soever to him in the years of his afte'r life.

Download or read book Review of Educational Legislation 1917 and 1918 Bulletin 1919 written by William R. Hood and published by . This book was released on 1919 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the two years comprehended in this review, the Congress of the United States has been in almost continuous session and all the states, except Alabama have held meetings of their legislative bodies. Six states, Georgia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and South Carolina hold annual meetings of their legislatures, and these, of course had legislative sessions both in 1917 and in 1918. Within this period, special sessions were held in some states. Alabama is not included in this review for the reason that its legislature meets quadrennially and will not meet again until early in 1919. The legislation of any year, particularly an odd-numbered year when 42 or 43 legislatures are in session, is invariably made up in large measure with enactments relating to education and this is none the less true of the two years here considered. Distinctly, new educational movements, however have not been especially conspicuous in laws enacted. Progress in school legislation has partaken rather of the nature of improving older laws and moving along lines already well defined. A few elements have operated in legislatures with the probable effect of distracting attention from educational matters. The European war has been among these elements, the war and its concomitants have been uppermost in the minds of the people and in consequence have not gone without effect on state legislation. It can hardly be said that this effect has been essentially hurtful as some very wholesome educational measures have received impetus from the war spirit. The government is more concerned with education than most people suppose. Of the 10 executive departments in Washington, at least 8 include bureaus or other agencies which touch education vitally of some point. Among the more noteworthy of these are the Bureau of Education and the Office of Indian Affairs of the Department of the Interior, the Public Health Service of the Department of the Treasury, the States Relations Service of the Department of Agriculture, the Children's Bureau, and the Bureau of Naturalization of the Department of Labor, and the great training branches of the War and Navy Departments. In addition to these, the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Institution, the Council of National Defense, the Committee on Public Information, and some other agencies serve an educational purpose not only through their broader information-giving activities, but through school channels as well. The work of all these agencies, renews our attention, now that the government is extending its educational activities along other lines. [Best copy available has been provided.].

Download or read book Science the Endless Frontier written by Vannevar Bush and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic case for why government must support science—with a new essay by physicist and former congressman Rush Holt on what democracy needs from science today Science, the Endless Frontier is recognized as the landmark argument for the essential role of science in society and government’s responsibility to support scientific endeavors. First issued when Vannevar Bush was the director of the US Office of Scientific Research and Development during the Second World War, this classic remains vital in making the case that scientific progress is necessary to a nation’s health, security, and prosperity. Bush’s vision set the course for US science policy for more than half a century, building the world’s most productive scientific enterprise. Today, amid a changing funding landscape and challenges to science’s very credibility, Science, the Endless Frontier resonates as a powerful reminder that scientific progress and public well-being alike depend on the successful symbiosis between science and government. This timely new edition presents this iconic text alongside a new companion essay from scientist and former congressman Rush Holt, who offers a brief introduction and consideration of what society needs most from science now. Reflecting on the report’s legacy and relevance along with its limitations, Holt contends that the public’s ability to cope with today’s issues—such as public health, the changing climate and environment, and challenging technologies in modern society—requires a more capacious understanding of what science can contribute. Holt considers how scientists should think of their obligation to society and what the public should demand from science, and he calls for a renewed understanding of science’s value for democracy and society at large. A touchstone for concerned citizens, scientists, and policymakers, Science, the Endless Frontier endures as a passionate articulation of the power and potential of science.

Download or read book Human Dimension and Interior Space written by Julius Panero and published by Watson-Guptill. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of human body measurements on a comparative basis is known as anthropometrics. Its applicability to the design process is seen in the physical fit, or interface, between the human body and the various components of interior space. Human Dimension and Interior Space is the first major anthropometrically based reference book of design standards for use by all those involved with the physical planning and detailing of interiors, including interior designers, architects, furniture designers, builders, industrial designers, and students of design. The use of anthropometric data, although no substitute for good design or sound professional judgment should be viewed as one of the many tools required in the design process. This comprehensive overview of anthropometrics consists of three parts. The first part deals with the theory and application of anthropometrics and includes a special section dealing with physically disabled and elderly people. It provides the designer with the fundamentals of anthropometrics and a basic understanding of how interior design standards are established. The second part contains easy-to-read, illustrated anthropometric tables, which provide the most current data available on human body size, organized by age and percentile groupings. Also included is data relative to the range of joint motion and body sizes of children. The third part contains hundreds of dimensioned drawings, illustrating in plan and section the proper anthropometrically based relationship between user and space. The types of spaces range from residential and commercial to recreational and institutional, and all dimensions include metric conversions. In the Epilogue, the authors challenge the interior design profession, the building industry, and the furniture manufacturer to seriously explore the problem of adjustability in design. They expose the fallacy of designing to accommodate the so-called average man, who, in fact, does not exist. Using government data, including studies prepared by Dr. Howard Stoudt, Dr. Albert Damon, and Dr. Ross McFarland, formerly of the Harvard School of Public Health, and Jean Roberts of the U.S. Public Health Service, Panero and Zelnik have devised a system of interior design reference standards, easily understood through a series of charts and situation drawings. With Human Dimension and Interior Space, these standards are now accessible to all designers of interior environments.
