TRiO in Boston $53.99 Constance Siu Book Boardsmanship: a guide for the school board member $13.63 By California School Boards Association Book Boardsmanship A Guide for the School Board Member By California School Boards Association 1961 Edition One of the few nonpartisan, elected bodies in our society, and one of the few bodies to maintain a strong emphasis on local control, is the school board. This guide points out the responsibilities and obligations of the school board members, who in large part determine what the citizens of the next generation will be. After a brief discussion of the role of the school board member, the guide tells how a board organizes itself to work efficiently - electing officers, preparing agendas for meetings, keeping minutes. The major decision-making responsibilities, especially in the areas of curriculum, finance, and housing, are discussed. Practical suggestions are made; for example, the board is urged to delegate such business affairs as purchasing, accounting, auditing, and insurance to a competent professional staff, so that the board can be freed from time-consuming detail work. Because of the importance of the complex relationships that develop among members of any educational organization, a section is devoted to the problem of staff relationship between the board and the superintendent. The procedure for choosing a superintendent is outlined, and criteria for appraising his competence and effectiveness are suggested. The powers and responsibilities of the board as defined by California law are pointed out, including choosing books, hiring teachers, issuing bonds, and conducting school district elections. Appendixes include samples of a school board meeting agenda and minutes of a meeting.

The school camping movement, one of the most significant of recent developments in American education, is arousing more and more interest because it has demonstrated the real value as an extension of education into rich and hihgly stimulating environments. In response to this growing interest, a number of American communities have organized camping programs to serve the interest of public education. Among these programs, one carried out in recent years by the City and County of San Diego, California, is recognized as outstanding. A mountain camp Camp Cuyamaca was established in 1946 among mountains clothed with oak and pine fifty miles inland from San Diego. Under a rotating plan of attendance, sixth-grade children of the San Diego City and County public schools spend one week of their school year at the camp. Here they learn the practical essentials of democracy by making and enforcing their own rules for community living. Their week of shared experiences in natural surroundings helps them develop new and wholesome attitudes toward themselves and physical environments. Above all, they have a rousing good time as they take part in a rich program of activities which supplement and vitalize the lessons of the classroom. A pioneer experience In Public School Camping, James Mitchell Clarke describes the development of Camp Cuyamaca from its beginning to the present time and uses this pioneer experience as the basis for a discussion of the theory and practice of school camping. This discussion includes practical details concerning development and administration of a public school camping program, as well as a valuable analysis of the educational and psychological principles underlying school camping. For every school Public school officials all over the country are now thinking about the advantages children may gain from supervised camping. All may profit from the discussion of methods and objectives in this timely book. Indoor and outdoor activities of the campers, the maintenance of physical and emotional health, exploitation of the camp's natural environment, problems of administration and of co-ordination between the schools and the community -- these are only a few of the topics which Mr. Clarke's book covers. The photographs of Camp Cuyamaca and its enthusiastic population of sixth-graders confirm the message of the text -- that public school camping can be greatly worth while.

Kadish Book This carefully reasoned book presents an alternative to those current views of higher education that regard it principally either as a leisure activity unconnected with the rest of life or as a special means for the advancement of the economy. Instead, the author asserts, higher education constitutes a primary social means for the forming of selves capable of participating widely and effectively in the affairs of a modern, complex world. What basic policy choices, then, should higher education make? The aim of this book is to locate the grounds on which American institutions of higher education might best decide among some of the major policy alternatives pressed on them by their commitments and the cirucmstances of their civilization, and then to appraise and judge those alternatives. The author reacts against two primary tendencies in the history of higher education in the United States. The first he terms as "intellectualistic" education that turns colleges and universities into instruments for restricted class of potential connoisseurs of certain rare and marvelous objects; higher education's problem here is to determine the objects best deserving appreciation. The university need not concern itself with providing its students with experiences available in a democratic society, because they will have them in any event. The second tendency is probably more prevalent today. Production tends to concern us more than refined consumption, and higher education cooperates by devoting itself to forming people who may be useful in a market economy. Education becomes investment, and bits and pieces of an intellectualistic education are more or less acceptable on the periphery - provided there is money for them. The author recommends the furthering of self-interest of those who do the job of education - the students and faculty - as a principle of choice, and he suggests that taking the self-interest of students and faculty seriously and centrally may throw light on the relation of higher education to the ethical conduct of life. He further suggests an "opening of the university" beyond its traditional limits toward the exchange of labor, toward the provision of exercises outside the system of exchange, toward the performance of the arts, toward the absorption or integration of politics within university practice and tradition, and, most important, toward an integration of ethics into policy and performance. The author sees persons disposed to ethical values as more valuable to society than either cultured minds or technological and business whizzes.

EDUCATION AND ANTHROPOLOGY $19.60 Edited by George D. Spindler Book EDUCATION AND ANTHROPOLOGY Edited by GEORGE D. SPINDLER Papers from participants in the June 9-14, 1954 Conference sponsored by the School of Education and the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Stanford University and the American Anthropological Association. The opinions, concepts, and hypotheses expressed and developed in Education and Anthropology represent a new fusion between two fields of study. Each is concerned with a special aspect of the development of man; in the main, each has hitherto approached its goals independently of the other. In the conference from which this book stems, twenty-two outstanding anthropologists and educators met to pool their thinking for mutual benefit in the two fields. Their intent was to explore ways in which understanding of social pressures and cultural patterns can help educators to understand the role of education in the cultural process and to function effectively in a society where values, beliefs, and attitudes are changing rapidly. The topics discussed include the history of relations between education and anthropology; the school in the community context; ways in which educational goals are defeated by conflicts between cultural ideals and action; different types of communication and teacher-student relations; ways of developing intercultural understanding through education; differences between educational needs and cultural forces in the childhood and adolescent years; the relationships between anthropological and educational theory and philosophy; methods for the study of school systems in various social environments; and the dilemma of the educator in the South, where segregation has strong social and political support but has been declared unconstitutional by Supreme Court decision. Papers on each topic, written by authorities in the respective fields, were distributed before the conference as the basis for interchange of ideas. The book includes both the papers and transcripts of the ensuing discussions, edited by Dr. Spindler, together with an overview summary by Margaret Mead, one of America's leading anthropologists with an intense and long-term interest in education. Research and application already accomplished are reviewed incidentally to critical analysis of projected developments of education and anthropology. Specialists in education evaluate, modify, and reformulate the approaches of the anthropologists in the light of their professional experience; anthropologists apply their concepts, methods, data, and point of view to the educative process in its broadest sense. The result of such interdisciplinary collaboration is a fully co-operative product, filled with new concepts, hypotheses, and approaches. In the discussion of the effects of racial desegregation in Southern schools, practical suggestions show what kinds of data and ideas the anthropologists could organize to present to educators faced with the task of implementing the Supreme Court decision-a "field problem" of considerable importance.

Kroeber Land of Fair Promise Politics and Reform in Los Angeles Schools, 1885-1941 $18.88 Judith Rosenberg Raftery Book 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.

Woodburne 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. Lloyd S. Woodburne is Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Washington, Seattle.

Cooper 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.

Parker 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).

CBC Class of 2009 for Arturo Victor French image Public Relations for Colleges and Universities : A Manual of Practical Procedure $13.27 Christopher Edgar Persons 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.

Levin 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.

P. Hopkins and William F. Massy 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. David S.P.
