The administration and organization in American universities
main legislative body of the University of Kentucky from 1917 to 1941 was the Senate. This group consisted of administrative officers and members of the teaching staff of professorial rank. In addition to the Senate, the University had what it called, The University Council, consisting of the deans of the several colleges and three members of the teaching staff elected by and from the University Senate

Wanted—a new kind of engineer
The university of Kentucky in prospect
It would be much easier to view the University in retrospect than to attempt to predict its future. It is always dangerous to wander into unknown lands. But we are enjoined to see visions as well as dream dreams. Members of the faculty of a university are challenged to delve into the future as far as human eye can see. Though prudence may be the better part of valor, we should utterly disregard it and venture to outline the shape of things to com…

The ability of college students to predict their grades
To what extent can college students evaluate the quality of work which they are doing? One way to secure an answer to this question is to have students predict their grades. The purpose of this report is to give a brief summary of the results of a study which was conducted in the Eastern Kentucky State Teachers College to determine the ability of college students to predict their grades. The procedure was briefly as follows: One week before the c…
What education is of most worth
It is probably a fortunate thing, as well as a lazy and convenient habit, that we take many things for granted. Certainly the above question makes some assumptions among others that there are various kinds of education and, more particularly, that education is really worth while. We take refuge in the fact that many of our state constitutions say bluntly that in a democracy education is a necessity; and Federal, state, and local governmental unit…
Educating the teacher for the progressive public school
The progressive school is child-centered. It recognizes that learning takes place largely through experiencing; therefore, it provides many opportunities for children to enjoy rich and varied experiences of a wholesome character. In its program, there is a place for both work and play, and the dignity of the former is as highly valued as the joy of the latter. Pupilinitiative is always encouraged, and a premium is placed on creative ability. In t…

Origin and development of the elementary school
Clinical studies in reading
During the last two years a clinical study has been made of the reading habits of fifty-four children in the Peabody Demonstration School who possess more or less serious deficiencies in reading. These children were first discovered by their teachers, who noted that they were poor in reading. They were then sent to the reading clinic. A careful study of the child's personal history with respect to both his home and school life was made. He was gi…
A review of twenty‐three sets of elementary readers
The purpose of this article is to review a number of sets of elementary readers with the view of acquainting teachers with what is available and desirable. No attempt has been made to rank the readers. This review deals primarily with sets of readers prepared by publishers for use as adopted basal textbooks. It is obviously impossible in so brief an article as this to deal with all the sets of readers on the market or to deal even with the few se…
An elementary survey of the reading process
Minimum essentials in elementary education
Fourscore years ago my grandfather attended a subscription school in Mason County, Ky., for three months during the winter. He studied Warren Colburn's Arithmetic, Webster's blueback Speller, reading, and penmanship. In 1875 my father was attending a county school in the same neighborhood. He studied arithmetic, spelling, reading, penmanship, geography, grammar, and the history of the United States. In 1900 the writer of this paper was a pupil of…
