The School as a Formal Organization
Reviewing the sociological literature on education from 1945 to 1955, Gross (1956 , p. 64) commented that a systematic study of the school as an organization had yet to be made. His comment is still true. Few students of organizations have turned their attention to schools, and few students of schools have been sensitive to their organizational attributes. To understand what schools are like as organizations—what their characteristic structures, …
The Collegial Focus and High School Students' Achievement
The authors examine the consequences of teachers' collegial social relations for high school students' mathematics and science achievement. They present a growth model for achievement that incorporates student, teacher classroom, and department effects. Particular attention is given to mechanisms of collegial social control. Using data from a national sample of 52 public high schools and some 3,000 students, they found that when departmental facu…

Teacher Types, Workplace Controls, and the Organization of Schools
The theory of workplace control in American high schools presented in this article is based on the assumption that the school workplace contains potent systems that control the everyday work attitudes and conduct of teachers. The theory posits the formation of teacher types, each comprising distinctive attitudes toward work and behavior, as the link between control systems and the way teachers conduct their work. Four control systems and correspo…
Organizational Control in the High School Workplace: A Theoretical Argument
In this article, a new approach is taken to the question of the control of teachers' work. This approach is contrasted with Weberian, loose coupling, and instructional approaches. Using the high school as a grounding case, an argument is made that school workplaces may provide a variety of controls of teachers' work, embedded in the social organization of the school. Trends toward one or another control mechanism are said to depend on variation i…
Toward improved knowledge and policy on urban education
The essays in this volume mark a watershed in the study of urban public education in the United States. By virtue of their intellectual breadth and substantive concern for the welfare of city schools and students, these papers forecast an integration of political and organizational analysis of education in the big cities ‐connecting the structures and processes of policy‐making with the structures and processes that comprise the everyday lives of…

Conceptualizing and Measuring the Effects of School and Schooling
Studies of "school effects" must make a clear conceptual distinction between school and schooling. School is an organization that conducts instruction; schooling is the process through which instruction occurs. Schooling, which is a structure of action by students and teachers, is conditioned by the social organization of classrooms, curricular tracks, and other instructional units. A theory of schooling must include a conceptualization of its so…

School District Organization and Student Achievement
Using data from 104 school districts in Colorado, this study examines determinants of organizational effectiveness. Five environmental conditions of these districts, three components of district structure and one of staff composition are linked in a causal model to the median reading and mathematics achievement test scores of the districts' high school students. The environmental conditions are size, fiscal resources, percent non-white in the pop…

The Young Professional in the Army: A Study of Occupational Identity
Following Janowitz's analysis of current military organization and procedure, a number of potential strains confronting draftee-professionals during their tour of Army duty are noted. By means of participant observation and interviews, a group of drafted professional men was studied with reference to these strains and patterns of response to them. The existence of such strains for the subjects is demonstrated, focussed around discontinuities betw…

Authority and Control in Client-Serving Organizations
FORMAL organizations, as well as individual practitioners, are important agents of professional service. Yet, despite the attention which has been given to the relations between clients and free professionals, relations between clients and client-serving organizations largely remain to be explored.' Since the form of the professionalclient relationship has significant effects on the behavior of the free professional, presumably it has an equally …

The Serbo-Croatian Verb
Every Serbo-Croatian verb form consists of the constituents listed in Table l. While prefixes are optional, every verb form has a stem and at least one inflectional element. The stem consists of at least a root. Every verb paradigm has a thematic vowel in some or all of its forms, though some forms of some paradigms are without this. The remaining stem constituents are optional. The constituents always occur in the order given in Table 1

The Serbo-Croatian Comparative
Serbo-Croatian is an Indo-European language, and like many languages of that family possesses a complex system of nominal and verbal inflection. The forms of the standard language have been fairly well described, though not from the structural point of view, in a number of handbooks. As a source of forms I have used August Leskien's Serbokroatische Grammatik (Heidelberg, 1914); but I have checked all forms against the speech of at least one infor…

An Alternate Phonemic Analysis of Russian
It is common knowledge that Russian consonants occur for the most part in pairs, the members of which are distinguished from each other by the presence or absence of the feature of palatalization, and that vowels following a palatalized consonant are higher, fronter, and tenser, while between two palatalized consonants the incidence of highness, frontness, and tenseness in the vowel is still stronger. 1 Thus

Serbo-Croatian Syntax
The plan of the present work is to describe first the simple sentence, and the phrases which enter into such sentences as constituents; then the principal types of sentences (clauses) incorporated into superordinate complex sentences; and finally, certain special syntactic problems (enclisis, negation, interrogation).
