Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Colleges in War Time and After: A Contemporary Account of the Effect of the War Upon Higher Education in America It is apparent to all that the higher educational system of the United States has sufiered a war change. Following, as it has, immediately upon the reconstruo tion of educational ideals and standards which marked the past two decades, this war change has added the last touches to an academic condition so new to us as still to seem largely unfamiliar. Before our entrance into the world war we already realized the presence of a swift current of innovation, carrying collegiate education into uncharted seas of activity. Since April, 1917, this current has become a rushing torrent, sweeping before it all the old traditional land marks from shores hitherto untouched by change. The curriculum, the semester division, the customs of student life, whole departments of learning - all these have been torn from their moorings and ﬂoated Off into a remoteness from which, in their old form, they may never return.

This book was released on 1913 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years there has been carried on in the United States by various national and State organizations a vigorous agitation for a clearer definition and improvement of standards in higher and professional education. Committees and commissions have labored and reported. Sometimes these reports have been published and given wide circulation; in other cases they have been quite inaccessible to persons engaged in the study of educational standards. The need for a comprehensive and judicious discussion of the development of standards in education has been keenly felt and often expressed by individual institutions, and licensing or standardizing agencies, such as State boards of education and of medicine. The history of the work of the American Medical Association and of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, for example, in elevating the standards of medical education is illuminating for all who are concerned with the process of bettering educational standards, no matter what the particular field of their effort may be. Among the organizations laboring for this definition and improvement of standards in large sections of the country or in the whole Nation are the National Association of State Universities, the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations, the Association of American Universities, Association of American Medical Colleges, the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools (typical of sectional associations), and the National Conference Committee on Standards of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The information presented in this bulletin is pertinent to matters now much discussed by educational workers, and it contributes valuable information in permanent form for establishing a better perspective and for mapping out further progress. The bulletin is divided into nine chapters, as follows: (1) Present standards of liberal arts colleges; (2) Standards of theological schools; (3) Standards of medical schools; (4) Standards of law schools; (5) Standards of schools of engineering; (6) Standards of schools of dentistry; (7) Standards of schools of pharmacy; (8) Standards of schools of fine arts and music; and (9) Standards of universities. The following are appended: (1) Definition of Requirements by the College Entrance Examination Board; (2) Definitions of Unit Courses of Study and Requirements in Certain Subjects by the Commission on Accredited Schools and Colleges of the north Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools; and (3) Some Standardizing Agencies. An index is included. Individual sections contain footnotes. [Best copy available has been provided.].

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Monographs on Education in the United States, Vol. 13: Commercial Education Its present standards both for admission and graduation are too low, its course of study too narrow and shallow, and its time requirement too short. It is useless to expect to attract and hold high-grade students with low-grade standards, or thoroughly to train young people for the duties of busi ness life with the present course of study, and in the time now given to this work. The preparation for business life ought to be as thorough as for professional life, and I believe that the time is not far distant when it will be. It should be said, and in the same sense, of the gradu ates Of our commercial schools as it is said of the graduates of our best technical schools, viz., 'that the business world not only finds that it can afford to employ them, but that it cannot afford not to employ them.' There is a good demand for thoroughly trained men - not merely clerks in all departments Of business, and the commercial school ought to be able to supply that demand. (ibid.)

While the writer takes some pride in the completion of the present task he is overwhelmed with a keen realization of the fact that the real problem of betterment is still for the future. He recognizes that this study is only a small beginning on a small area of the illimitable School field. It is but the beginning but it is a beginning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

This book was released on 2015-07-26 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Hand-Book of Requirements for Admission to the Colleges of the United States This Hand-book represents in the selection of colleges the maximum and minimum requirements for admission to any meritorious college in the United States. In the selection of institutions, the aim has been, not to imply that those excluded do not rank equally high with many here mentioned, but to represent the different sections of the country, the leading denominational colleges, and a few of the most important State universities of the West. An average of the requirements to enter the colleges represented in the hook will admit a student to the Freshman class of any college or university not named - so that it becomes a chart of universal application to the colleges of the United States. A thorough knowledge of the Latin and Greek Grammar, including prosody, is required to enter the classical course of any good college, and marked proficiency in the common English branches - especially grammar or language - is insisted upon for entrance to both classical and scientific courses. In addition to the two general courses, classical and scientific, most of the colleges have a Latin scientific course, for entrance to which French or German is substituted for Greek. The State universities and many of the others have, also, courses in Civil Engineering, Mining Engineering, and in Architecture and Design. Most of the colleges now furnish, in the last two years of the classical and scientific courses, a wide range of polytechnic studies, from which students may generally select. Requirements for admission to any of the courses except classical, are generally the same as for admission to the scientific course. A complete list of the colleges and universities of the United States is given, with miscellaneous addenda which will be of interest to all the patrons and friends of higher education.
