Land of Fair Promise
Politics and Reform in Los Angeles Schools, 1885-1941
Judith Rosenberg Raftery
This book uses a case study of education and educational reform in Los Angeles as a lens for viewing a wide range of political and cultural questions involved in urban development in the American West, notable the manner and motives of those who changes school policy.
Rapid population growth after 1885 and the recognition that large numbers of school children were either non-white or non-English-speaking compelled Western Progressives to reestablish order and end corrupt schoolboard practices. Drawing on the ideas of Jane Addams and John Dewey, reformers made the Los Angeles school system an instance of apparently effective reform, not only in educational terms, but also administratively and in the broad range of social services provided under school direction -- penny-lunch programs, after-hour playgrounds, day-care centers, adult classes, and home classes for shut-in mothers. But these achievements bore increasingly equivocal results as industrialization, immigration, and urbanization contributed to immense social and economic problems, and reformers intensified programs to Americanize immigrant children. More complicated and divisive progressive politics vied increasingly with professionalization and grassroots pressure from immigrant groups to determine education policy.
Many of the leading Los Angeles reformers were women, newly empowered by suffrage, who expanded their campaigns for social change. Also, since women composed most of the teaching force, they began to see themselves as professional educators. But professionalization proved to be a double-edged sword. Better trained than their predecessors, women nevertheless had to fight to hold on to their status as the school system became more efficient, more structured, and more impersonal. Professionalization also led to clashes between professionals; psychologists introduced IQ measurement, and many classroom teachers found mental testing unreliable and sought alternate methods to evaluate the abilities of children.
Reformers, educators, and ethnic organizations worked assiduously to modify the social behavior of the now-diverse school population. Despite differences, these groups together built a new social fabric, a patchwork shaped by the unrelenting realities of twentieth-century America. the book is illustrated with 14 photographs.

Principles of College and University Administration
$16.21
Book
This is a reproduction editon from scan of the 1958 work.
Considering the long existence of universities, it is surprising that so little has been written about college and university administration. Students, dormitories, accounting procedures, curricula, and athletics have all received their share of published material. But a careful study of the internal operation of institutions of higher education has almost never been made.
Dr. Woodburne is an experienced educator and administrator, and he presents here a detailed analysis of academic leadership and planning, as they relate to areas of finance, public relations, personnel, curriculum, teaching, departmental administration, and research. The characteristics of effective leadership are defined, stressing the need for mutual respect and good faith between various levels, the creation and maintenance of smoothly functioning channels of communication which permit a free flow of ideas, and an understanding of the possible long-range effects of executive decisions.
The author states two essential conditions for a successful partnership between faculty and administration: problems which arise must be considered objectively and without personal prejudice, and the administration must provide for the free dissemination of information concerning interdepartmental activities and decisions. Although this contention will be subscribed to by most, it is violated as often as it is observed. Conflicts which frequently arise between teaching and management are explored in discussions of tenure, promotion, educational priorities, and the role of department heads.
The principal work of the college or university is performed by trained professionals, and its major product of an educated mind cannot be reduced to mechanical production measures. In fact,aside from typing and filing, the only routine mechanical operations of a university occur in the business office or in buildings and grounds activities. Everything else involves a teacher's concern for the validity of his subject matter, or value judgments on the part of administration. This volume will prove a useful and vital tool in the exercising of those judgments.

Economy in Education
$12.61
Book
We owe so much to our public schools and so readily take them for granted that we may fail to recognize how careful we should be in any projected program of economy in education. The people of our nation have gone through an economic crisis of great severity and have in spite of it retained good health, good order, and stability. This is evidence of an informed public. For this we may certainly credit our public school system more than any other factor. The American school has brought about in each community a mutual understanding which has permitted unusual co-operation in these times of difficulty. Before we change any essential element in our public school system, then we must be sure that we are not damaging it, for it provides the best guaranty of continued national life that we have.

Television in the Lives of Our Children
$20.08
Book
The average North American child, from age 3 to age 16, spends one-sixth of his waking hours on television. This is as much time as he spends in school, more time than he devotes to any other activity except sleep and play. Here is a report of the first major study on the North American continent of the complicated way in which television operates in the lives of children. It represents three years of research on 6,000 children, and is also based on information obtained from 2,300 parents, teachers, and school officials.
The book begins with a consideration of the part televisions plays in the lives of children, then fills in the basic facts -- how much children use television at different ages under different conditions, what kinds of programs they watch, and what they think of them. Then it examines t he chief variables--intelligence, social backgrounds, and home and peer-group relationships--which, along with age and sex make it possible to predict generally what use a child will make of television. One interesting finding is that children in a town with television are about a year more advanced in vocabulary when they enter school than are children in a town without television. It appears, however, that the learning advantage is not maintained for more than a few years.
The book then considers the chief effects which have been ascribed to television, such as delinquency and debasement of taste, and tests the validity of these claims. It sums up everything so far discovered by research concerning the effects of television on children, and the conclusions that can now safely be drawn. An interesting feature is a detailed analysis of a typical week (five weekdays) of the television fare seen in a major city during the period from 4:00 to 9:00 P.M., the so-called "children's hour." The results showed that more than half the 100 hours monitored was given to programs in which extreme violence (murders, stranglings, suicides, etc.) played an important part.
In conclusion, t he authors suggest some things that parents, schools, and broadcasters can do to keep televisions from possibly having a harmful effect on children.
An eminent professor of psychiatry, Dr. Lawrence Z. Freedman, has contributed a paper giving a psychiatric view of the problem. Detailed statistics and tabulations are given tin the Appendixes, which also contain information about related topics (such as children's use of other mass media).

Public Relations for Colleges and Universities : A Manual of Practical Procedure
$13.27
Book
This book was originally published in 1946.
Many colleges and universities are becoming intensely concerned with their future prospects and realistically aware that their former casual, unorganized, and somewhat ineffective methods of making public contacts are inadequate. The necessity, not only for the acquisition of funds but also for the justification of the institution itself and its objectives, demands an effective, well-planned public relations program.
This book presents a sound and flexible public relations procedure for the establishment of a closer relationship between institutions of higher learning and the rest of the world.
Christopher Edgar Persons was Vice-President of McCann-Erickson, Inc. and a special consultant on public relations to Western educational institutions when this book was published.

Schooling and Work in the Democratic State
$20.80
Book
A new explanation of the relation between schooling and work in the democratic, advanced industrial state emerges from this study that rejects both traditional views and the more recent Marxian perspective. Traditional views consider schools as autonomous institutions that are able to pursue thegoals of equality and social mobility irrespective of the inequalities of capitalist society; the Marxian perspective views schools as serving the role of producing wage-labor for capitalistic exploitation.
The authors suggest that the shortcomings of both views are rooted in the fact that they do not recognize the true functions of the democratic, capitalist state. This state is seen as an arena for struggle between forces pushing for egalitarian, democratic, reforms and those seeking to use the resources of the state for private capital accumulation. Depending on which side has primacy at the moment, schools will reflect one set of goals over the other. However, victory is never complete, and the tide of battle has shifted back and forth historically.
The authors develop this theory through interpreting the dynamic relation between U.S. schools and the workplace. Based on this approach, they predict changes in both schooling and work as well as the forms that future conflicts between the contending forces are likely to take.

Planning Models for Colleges and Universities
$28.30
Book
Drawing on the authors’ extensive experience at Stanford University as well as the work of others, this first systematic approach to fiscal and human resource planning in colleges and universities shows how transition models can and should become an integral part of the planning process.
The authors first discuss the uses and abuses of planning models in general and the principles and methodologies for developing such models. They then describe many specific models that have proved to be useful at Stanford and elsewhere in solving immediate problems and establishing long-term goals. These models cover such diverse problems as medium- and long-range financial forecasting; estimating resource requirements and the variable costs of programs; long-run financial equilibrium and the transition to equilibrium; faculty appointment, promotion, and retirement policies; predicting student enrollments; and applying value judgments to financial alternatives.
The final chapter discusses the applicability of the Stanford-based planning models to other schools.

ALGEBRA 1 Unit of Equations
$9.52
Book
This unit consists of 4 key chapters that get to the heart of the matter in Algebra I: Equations. The first chapter on equations of lines provides students with the procedural knowledge to solve simple equations and to see how equations can model everyday relationships such as percent discounts. Although equations are useful for modeling real-world phenomena, they are also mathematical objects in their own right. The second chapter on graphs explores more fully the components of linear equations such as slope and intercepts. Linear relationships can manifest in a variety of representations, including tables, graphs and equations, thus, the third chapter introduces students to the more analytic ways of describing linear relationships to help determine if two lines are parallel, perpendicular or, in fact, the same line. Finally, we see that inequalities are similar to equations in that they show a relationship between two expressions. Students can solve and graph inequalities in a similar way to equations. However, there are some differences that we will talk about in this last chapter. One of the differences is that for linear inequalities the answer is an interval of values or areas whereas for a linear equation the answer is most often one value. Other differenes will be explored.
