"The object of the Association shall be to establish closer relations between the secondary schools and the institutions of higher education within the North Central states and such other territory as the Association may recognize." — Constitution, Ar- ticle II. The aim of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools is, therefore, first, to bring about a better acquaintance, a keener sympathy, and a heartier co-operation between the colleges and secondary schools of this territory; second, to consider common educational problems and to devise best ways and means of solving them; and, third, to promote the physical, intellectual and moral well-being of students by urging proper sanitary conditions of school buildings, adequate library and labora- tory facilities, and higher standards of scholarship and of remuneration of teachers. That these aims are, to a large degree, realized is evidenced by the steady growth of the Association in territorial accessions, in number of affiliated and accredited schools and colleges, and in the power and prestige exercised throughout the country in respect to educational policies and practices. The Association is, beyond all doubt, the most generally recognized standardizing educational agency in the Northwest, — if indeed it does not rank first in prestige in the entire United States. Founded twenty-three years ago by a little group of foresighted men representing but a small number of institutions situated in a small number of states, the Association today includes in its territory eighteen states, and in its membership 135 institutions of higher education and 460 institutions of secondary school rank. Moreover, besides accrediting a goodly number of colleges and universities, the Association has this year stamped with its approval 1,213 high schools and academies. It is therefore a distinct honor for any institution to hold affiliated or accredited relationship with this body. The Association's official recognition gives prestige to a school among educated men and women everywhere. Its recorded approval is a letter of introduction to all colleges, universities and professional schools in the land, and guarantees efficiency and high standing to these institutions. Accredited relations with the Association bring to a secondary school the same distinction and honor as an institution that membership in the society of Phi Beta Kappa or Sigma Xi confers upon an individual, or that high rating by Bradstreet or Dunn brings to a firm in business. Moreover, membership in the Association aids boards of education to secure better prepared teachers, to erect barriers against untrained teachers, and in general to raise educational standards in their communities. It is the hope of the Association that all - schools which are accredited by it will cherish the honor and seek to uphold the stand- ards mutually and co-operatively established. Detailed information respecting the organization and procedure of the Association may be secured by addressing its Secretary, Principal Henry E. Brown, Kenilworth, Illinois. Copies of the Annual Proceedings may be had (price 25 cents) by addressing the Treasurer, Principal Milo H. Stuart, Technical High School, Indianapolis, Indiana. Specific information respecting the standing and condition of any given school may be had by adressing the official high school inspector in the state concerned. Additional copies of the list of accredited schools may be secured (inclosing stamp) from the Secretary of the Commission, Professor C. O. Davis, Ann Arbor, Mchigan. The next annual meeting of the Association will be held in Chicago the week of March 17, 1919. NORTH CENTRAL ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGES AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS. 1918-1919.

Resolution adopted, 1918, regarding Junior High Schools : "Resolved, That the term Junior High School as used by this Association shall be understood to apply only to schools including the ninth grade combined with the eighth grade, or with the eighth and the seventh grades, in an organization distinct from the grades above and the grades below." 11. Resolution adopted, 1918, regarding war service teaching: "Resolved, That as an organization representing fundamentally the interests of secondary and higher education we [the North Central Association] are seriously con- cerned lest in this war emergency the sudden withdrawal of so many of our trained men^and women from the teaching ranks of our high schools result in a harmful de- preciation of standards of instruction. "We therefore make an urgent appeal to all graduates of standard colleges and universities, including young women and also men not subject to draft, and who are in a position to render such service, that they volunteer as teachers in high schools. "In order to facilitate the registration of such volunteers we ask that State De- partments of Public Instruction and Appointment Committees of Colleges and Uni- versities tender their services for such registration, and that such offers of service be made known through the public press. "State Boards of Education and State Departments of Public Instruction are also requested to make such temporary adjustments as may be necessary in order that those thus volunteering to teach may be duly certified. "Resolved, further, That the State Superintendent of Public Instruction in each state be requested to call a conference of representatives of the educational institu- tions in the state, for the purpose of formulating plans for putting this resolution into effect." 12. Resolution adopted, 1918, regarding form of blanks for 1919: The Committee on Blanks for next year made an extensive report advising the employment of three separate forms: A. One containing such items only as pertain to matters essential for the proper accrediting of the schools of regular standing. B. One to contain items used to accredit new schools and schools that have been warned the previous year. C. One to gather material bearing on any special study that may be authorized. 13. Resolutions adopted, 1918, regarding special studies to be made in 1919: (a) Resolved, That a specal committee be appointed to make an investigation and to report at the next annual meeting what bearing and effect the size of classes has on the quality of work in the high schools of the North Central Association. * For the names of the schools see starred lists printed herein. (b) Resolved, That a committee be appointed to investigate and report at the next annual meeting what (if any) modifications of standards should be made in order to secure a more adequate recognition of vocational education, especially in accordance with the Smith-Hughes Act. 14. The following special studies are planned by the Commission for early in- vestigation : (a) Effect of the war on programs of studies and on elections of different studies by pupils. (b) High School Libraries, their organization and equipment. (c) Vocational subjects in the secondary schools. (d) Graduation requirements in accredited schools. 15. The referendum vote prescribing an annual fee of one or two dollars for each accredited school resulted as follows : (a) No. schools eligible to vote 1218 (b) No. schools favoring the fee 1069 = 87.76% (c) No. schools opposing the fee Si = 4.18% (d) No. schools not voting 98= 8.04% ACCREDITED SCHOOLS ARIZONA NAMEOIf OFFICER IN charge; DATE OF NUMBER OF HIGH SCHOOL TOWN AND SCHOOIy (SUPT. 0RPRIN.)t ACCREDITING TEACHERS ENROLLMENT *Bisbee (7-8-9)$ E.

The pres- ent year the topic was Junior High Schools. To secure data a questionnaire was sent to each North Central Secondary School which was on the accredited list last year, and to such nev/ schools as were thought eligible this year. The questionnaire was made a part of the required report of every school, and since a standard of the Association reads : "No school shall be consid- ered (for accrediting) unless the regular annual blank furnished for the purpose shall have been filled out and placed on file with the inspector", it may be fairly assumed that replies were received from all schools having a Junior High School organization. Moreover, the questionnaire was so worded as to call for a reply from all schools which had any modified form of the eight-four plan, irrespective of the name given to such modified form. Last year 1165 secondary schools were accredited by the Association. Of this number, and including a few new schools, 293 this year made returns on the Junior High School, or its assumed equivalent. It may be concluded, therefore, that this is, approximately at least, the total number of such schools in the North Central terri- tory today.^ The accompanying table gives the summary of the replies to the questionnaire. The following constitute the more significant items and deductions from the table. * Since the report was made up 17 additional reports have been received, bringing the membership up to 310. These are found as follows: Detroit 2, Cleveland 6, Co- lumbus 2, other Ohio schools 3, scattering 4. The figures presented here are, how- ever, concerned only with the 293 schools. ^ The Montana list is, inadvertently, entirely omitted. Few Junior High Schools were, however, reported from this state. Almost precisely one-fourth (25.78%) of the accredited schools of the Association have taken steps intended to develop a six year high school system. Of these 293 schools, almost exactly one-fourth (24.57%) have been established within the present school year. The growth toward the Junior High School is, therefore, remarkably rapid just at this hour, and analyses of the replies to the questionnaire seem to indi- cate that next year it will be even more rapid and complete. Precisely what constitutes a Junior High School (or anything that closely approx- imates it in fact) is a difficult question to answer dogmatically. While the replies to the questionnaire indicate that a goodly percentage of the school people have a reason- ably clear conception of its purpose and characteristics and have made a positive ap- proach to its realization, yet in numerous instances the modifications of the old type grammar school are so meager and half-hearted and purposeless and feeble that only by the exercise of much charity of spirit and liberality of judgment can they be re- garded as having caught even a glimpse of the new movement. Let it be repeated : All depends on definitions. But certainly, to the writer who scrutinized carefully each set •of replies received, there are very far from being 293 complete Junior High Schools in the Association territory. In respect to the external organization, almost every conceivable arrangement of grades possible is reported. One hundred thirty-three, or 45.39% of the entire num- ber, have the 7th and 8th grades only included. Eighty-nine, or 30.37%, have the 7th, Sth and 9th grades; twenty-two, or 7.50%, have the 6th, 7th and 8th grades; eighteen, or 6.14%, have an undifferentiated six-year high school; eleven, or 3.75%, have the eighth grade only included; eight, or 2.73%, have the Sth and 9th grades, and eleven, or 3-75%, have some other arrangement different from any of the above groupings. Again, 168, or 57.33% of the entire number, state that their school is definitely styled the Junior High School; 46, or 15.69%, call it the Departmental School; 12, or 4.09%, have no special name, but designate the entire six grades as the High School, or the Six-Year High School; and 67, or 22.86%, have still other names employed. Among these are Intermediate School, Grammar School, Junior School, and quite often, names in honor of some local celebrity, as the John Smith School. Here once more both the external and the internal evidence is strong that, almost in scores of cases, the alleged reformed school plan has consisted primarily of an altered name. Possibly the departmental organization of subject-matter and teaching, possibly promotion by subject, and possibly one or two other desirable, but incon- spicuous and not vital, changes, have been made, but there is little to show that such schools have modified the purposes, the program of studies, the spirit, the methods, or the internal administration of the older type of school. In particular did these impressions strike deep in considering the reports of a large percentage of the schools in which the 7th and 8th grades, or the 6th, 7th and Sth grades were alone included in the "reformed" school. The same is likewise notably true in the cases of the 67 schools listed in the table as "Others". It seems a conservative statement to make, therefore, that, for fully a third or more of these 293 schools, it is yet a long way to a true Junior High School. In the manner of housing the reformed school, only 49 cities, or 16.72%, claim to have for it a separate and distinct building apart from all other grades. Of the others, 138, or 47.09%, say the Junior High School (or the school of the modified form under whatever name) is housed with the Senior High School, while 85, or 29.01%, state it is with the elementary school. Of the schools thus housed, 105, or 35.83%, are grouped in segregated portions of the common building. Here again, however, it is not safe to conclude that all these have the form or the spirit of a segregated or sep- arated school. Evidence is too clear in many instances that "segregation" means no more than has always been meant when classes or grades have had "home-rooms" and "home teachers". Perhaps, however, here is our safest lead in judging of the num- ber of schools that really provide secondary school training that is of a longer dura- tion than four years — that is, that approach closest to the theoretical Junior High School idea. This line of reasoning would give 187, (138 housed with the Senior High School plus 49 housed in separate buildings), with possibly 21 other schools not here reported in any manner. That is, the total number of fairly recognizable Junior High Schools is, on this basis, 208. Wherever the Junior High School is in operation the older type of the S-4 plan has, according to the replies received, gone out of existence except in the cases of 45 towns. There is some evidence leading to the belief, however, that the question calling for a reply on this practice was, in several instances, slightly misunderstood. ts. loco \o rocntHtN.vitNtN. co'O o oo co o o tN.00 °0 ■-; <^ ^ '^°^ '^. ^ vo o "«t t-s r^* 01 V5 o\\o ^ iH O CO « •-" O fO O\00 M M C > 0\ fo tN.O H.

Gathered together, however, under fairly delimited headings, these replies may be classified thus: (i) In order better to provide for individual needs, 143 votes, or 48.80% of the number of schools reporting; (2) in order to provide differentiated curricula, 56 votes, or 19.11% of all schools; (3) in order to provide better teaching, 76 votes, or 25.93% of all schools ; (4) in order to make easier the transition to the specialized high school, "JJ votes, or 26.27% of all schools: (6) in order to provide promotion by subject, 54 votes, or 18.43% of all schools; (6) in order to provide departmental teaching, 67 votes, or 22.86% of all schools; and (7) in order to help pupils, by means of vocational guidance and otherwise, to prepare for life's problems more adequately and effectively, 108 votes, or 36.86% of all schools. The North Central Association has. for some time in the past, recommended mak- ing the Junior High School serve any and all classes of pupils who could profit by its work, irrespective of what the earlier systematic education of the individual has been. That is, the Association has approved the principle of "skipping grades", if conditions seem to make such a procedure desirable for the individual pupil concerned. In practice today, it is to be observed, 108 school systems, or 36.86% of the entire 293 which made reports, do admit pupils to the Junior High School privileges before com- pleting the previous grade. In other words, these schools base promotion on physical development and chronological age, as well as on intellectual attainments of a fixed conventional type. According to the figures given, there are at present enrolled in the 293 schools included in our study, 21,658 boys, and 27,710 girls — a total enrollment of 49,368. In- structing these pupils are 2,760 teachers, — 352 men teaching academic subjects and 338 teaching vocational subjects, and 1,592 women teaching academic subjects and 478 teaching vocational subjects. In the length of the school day and the length of the class periods within the day there is much diversity of practice — the range extending from 20 periods and 20 min- utes to 5 periods and 70 or 80 minutes. However, the seven, eight, nine, or ten period day is the most common — 23.54% having seven periods, 26.27%, eight periods, and 26.27% having more than eight periods — and the class period of from 30 minutes to 45 minutes is the most usual, — 166 schools, or 56.65%, employing this unit. Neverthe- less, 58 schools, or 19.79%, have class periods of 46 minutes to 60 minutes, while 16 schools, or 5.46%, have class periods exceeding 60 minutes in length. Provision for supervised study, or showing pupils how to study, is almost an edu- cational fetish of the age, — particularly so in connection with the elementary schools and Junior High Schools. It was difficult from the replies received on this topic to sift out the spurious from the genuine. Nearly every school had study rooms or study periods presided over by teachers who, incidentally and on solicitation by the pupils, are expected to render assistance in studying lessons. Much of the so-called supervised study reported was, too obviously to be mistaken, of that type only. After eliminating all cases of doubtful character and including none but such as definitely set aside a portion of each class period for study under supervision, or else definitely provide study coaches in session rooms, the reports show that 173 schools, or 59.04%, do today have supervised study which, at least in form and plan, seems to be truly worthy of the name. One hundred fifty-three schools, or 52.21%, claim to allow pupils some choice of subject matter or of curricula — 48.46% providing for election by subjects, and 25.25% by curricula. In the remaining schools there is, confessedly, no pupil choice what- ever. The replies to this particular query, however, were not very satisfactory, there being much evidence that the terminology was not clearly understood. "Course", "cur- riculum" and "subject" were regarded, often, as synonymous words. All doubtful cases have, in consequence, been excluded from the computations here given, so that with the 102 schools or 34.81%, which state they have definitely outlined curricula, the figures must represent approximately the facts. Most schools seem to recognize that promotion by subject and departmental or- ganization of the work are essential elements in the Junior High School movement, for 241 schools, or 82.25%, have the first and 285 schools, or 97.26% have the second of these ideals in practice. That provision for vocational guidance, or, better styled, life guidance, is likewise an important element in any fully operating junior high school is attested by the fact that 136 schools, or 46.41%, make systematic use of the plan. It one purpose of the new organization of the school is to "bridge the gap" be- tween the 8th and gth or upper grades and thus prevent large numbers of pupils from being eliminated, the question is pertinently asked : Should graduation exercises of any sort be held at the end of the elementary or Junior high school period? Does not the practice tend to suggest that a stopping place has been reached? Certain it is that 213 of the schools considered in this study think so, as but 80, or 28.30% of the entire number, hold graduation exercises of that kind. If the essence of a complete Junior high school is, as some believe, to be found in a modified program of studies, then the extent to which subjects not heretofore found in the elementary schools are at present included in the grades below the 9th grade constitutes one important test of a reformed school. The questionnaire did not seek to discover how much of the old material of the 7th and 8th grades has been abolished, or even shorn mightily of its pristine glory, but it did seek to learn which of the subjects heretofore regarded as the just prepossession of the four upper years of the high school, and which subjects that are relatively new to all grades of the public schools, have been incorporated into the programs of study for the grades belozv the 9th. The figures show the following : Latin is found below the Qth grade in 81 schools, or 27.64% of the total number; Modern Foreign Language, in 80, or 27,30%; Algebra in 71, or 24.23%; General Science in 89, or 30.37%; Manual Train- ing in 260, or 88.73%; Domestic Science and Art in 259, or 88.39%; Drawing in 221, or 75.42%; Music in 210, or 71.67%; Agriculture in 76, or 25.93%; Ancient History (sometimes in the form of biographical stories) in 11, or 3.75%; General History of Modern Europe, or European Background of American History, in 19, or 6.48%; Commercial Work in its varied forms (but rarely more than one or two phases in the same school and these usually Bookkeeping or Typewriting) in 49, or 16.72%; Print- ing in 24, r 8.19%; and distinctive trade instruction in 15, or 5.11%. In other words, manual training, domestic science and art, drawing and music are thoroughly estab- lished in the curricula of the Junior High School, being found in approximately three- fourths of the schools. Commercial work and agriculture have also each gotten fair recognition. General science is rapidly advancing in favor. All of which seems to indicate that the Junior High Schools are taking rational account of the motor-minded individuals and the individuals who have been retarded in their intellectual develop- ment. For the most part, though, wherever manual training, domestic science and art and drawing are offered, they are prescribed for all pupils, indicating that these sub- jects are not designed for the motor-minded only, but as essential parts in the common elements of an education in a democracy. All these subjects except music and draw- ing are (with rare exceptions) scheduled for five class periods per week — in some schools double periods. Music, unfortunatel}', is as yet not regarded very seriously anywhere. Although the questionnaire sought only to bring out the facts respecting music other than chorus drill, the reports show clearly that few, if any, such courses in music exist in the schools here considered Two periods per week devoted to the subject constitute the common practice throughout the entire territory, and, as implied, little of this time apparently is giA'en to other phases than chorus work. If the Association believes with Plato, and Shakespeare, and the bards of all times that music has wonderful educative, socializing powers, the question arises, whether it ought not to exert a more positive influence in getting it incorporated in the schools in a more efifective manner than it has been hitherto ! Of the subjects formerly confined to the grades above the 8th, it is noticeable that transposition of position has, to a considerable degree, taken place in respect to alge- bra and foreign languages. In no report was there any positive evidence that algebra was part of a combined course in General mathematics, though doubtless such is the case in a very few instances. Of the modern foreign languages German, French, and Spanish each has its supporters, but no one of these languages has a decided lead in popular favor. In recording school credits, 202 schools, or 68.94%, adhere to the elementary school practice of doing so by subjects; 62, or 21.16% employ the more usual high school practice of recording by units; and 19, or 6.48%, use the still more uncommon scheme, adopted from the colleges and universities, of recording by hours. Here again the practices throw considerable light on the true character and spirit of the schools. Eighty-eight, or 30.03% of the schools, claim to have the same qualifications for Junior High School teachers as for Senior High School teachers; 92, or 31.39%, claim to have the same salary schedules operating for both groups; and 103, or 55 -15%. have Junior High School teachers teaching some classes in the Senior High School. Perhaps as good a criterion as the study gives of the independent status of the Junior High School is that evidenced by the degree of universality of the provision for a Junior High School Principal. One hundred seventy-six schools, or 60.06%, claim to have such an official. Nevertheless, in the matter of responsible supervision of the Junior High Schools, 79, or 26.96%, place the power solely in the hands of the superintendent; 167, or 56.99%, give it to the Junior High School principal; 72, or 24.57%, subsume it under the duties of the Senior High School principal; and 19, or 6.48%, distribute it elsevi^here. In respect to the principles of discipline used, 193 schools, or 65.87%, claim that they are freer than those employed in the elementary schools, while 148 schools, or 50,51%, assert they are less free than the principles used in the Senior High Schools. According to generally accepted educational theory, the Junior High School has been developed largely because it lends itself better than the older type of school to the multiple needs of many classes of pupils heretofore not effectively reached by the schools. The present study seems to indicate that this theory is accepted in practice, for 130 schools, or 44.36%, are making positive provision for the individual who has before him a short educational career and must get from the schools what he can get and get it quickly; 164, or 55-97%, seek to adapt and adjust the school work, where necessary, to the peculiar needs of the sickly pupils 153, or 52.21%, give especial con- sideration to the youths who are inapt at book study and who do better work with more concrete or vocational studies; and 139, or 47.44%, make provision for those who can devote but a part of their time to school duties. Finally, of the 293 schools reporting, it is the expressed belief of 199, or 67.91% of the entire number, that the Junior High School is positively advantageous. Spe- cifically, the principals of these schools think so because, say 131, or 44.70%, it keeps more pupils in school; because, say 195, or 66.55%, it tends to produce better scholar- ship; because, say 180, or 61.43%, it tends to produce better citizens; because, say 204, or 69.62%, it tends to produce better socially equipped pupils; because, say 187, or 63.82%, it tends to produce better moral and social conditions in the schools them- selves. Moreover, judging from the returns sent in, the Junior High School is meeting with popular favor wherever it is being established. Principals in 229 schools, or 78.15% of the entire number, report that parents are better pleased with the new ar- rangement than with the old; 234, or 79.86%, state that teachers are better pleased; and 231, or 78.83%, say that the administrative officers are better pleased. The com- bined impressions gained from this study certainly make it clear that pupils also are better pleased. In general summary, therefore, it may be said that approximately 300 schools in the North Central territory have consciously sought to take steps looking to the mod- ification of the 8-4 plan of organization in harmony with the Junior High School idea ; that possibly 175, or 60%, of these have already incorporated enough of the commonly accepted characteristics of a Junior High School to be entitled to bear that name; that another group of 75 (approximately 25%) have made good beginnings, but have ad- vanced only a short distance on the road to reform; and that the remaining 43, or approximately 15% of the whole number, are deceiving themselves with names, — are mistaking the husk for the kernel — and have need of much instruction. Again, how- ever, as was said at the beginning: All depends on definitions. Perhaps the North Central Association could do no greater service at the present time than to begin, cautiously and gradually, the standardization of the Junior High School. 020 974 769
