INTRODUCTION We are reprinting in this Bulletin the general specifications for stand- ard elementary schools. These standards were approved five years ago by a large committee of superintendents, principals and teachers and by repre- sentatives of some of the institutions of higher learning. They have been administered over this period by Miss Susan Fulghum of the State Depart- ment of Public Instruction. These are merely minimum standards and represent the very least in general conditions, teaching staff and material equipment that should go into an elementary school. Of course these minimum statements would include adequate provisions for the operation of the entire course of study in all the grades as well as the general organization of the school. Many schools, both rural and city, now go far beyond the statements Included within this Bulletin. There is appended certain statistics relative to standard schools to- gether with a list of such schools as were rated as standard at the close of the school year 1928-29. The State Department of Public Instruction at the beginning of this plan agreed to print such a list at the close of each year. The rapidity with which these schools have increased should be very gratifying to all friends of the elementary school. The members of the State Department of Public Instruction are very grateful for the fine cooperation on the part of superintendents, super- visors, and teachers in this work, and for the many courtesies which have been extended by them to Miss Fulghum as the representative of this department. State Superintendent of Public Instruction. 9-5-29— 55C. Standards for Elementary Schools CLASSES OF STANDARD SCHOOLS Two groups of standard elementary schools have been worked out. In each group are two classes. These are: Group I — Class A and Class B. Group II — Class A and Class B. The requirements for these groups are as follows: GROUP I— CLASS A 1. A seven-year course of study, including required subjects.* 2. Length of Term. Nine months or 180 days, exclusive of holidays. 3. Number of Teachers. At least fourteen whole-time teachers. 4. Qualification of Teachers. f The majority of teachers must hold Primary and Grammar Grade Certificates. No teacher shall hold a certificate lower than an Elementary Class A. Teachers holding High School Certificates may teach only in grades four to seven. 5. Attendance. At least 450 pupils in average daily attendance. (This will be modified as needed in accordance with the interpretation of the new school legislation.) The number of pupils per teacher should not exceed forty pupils in average daily attendance^ 6. Equipment: a. At least three sets of supplementary readers (20 copies in a set)§ for each grade. b. Required number of maps and a globe at least 12" in diameter. c. Dictionaries owned by all pupils in grades five to seven, or at least two dozen dictionaries (owned by school) for each grade — five to seven.^f A teacher's desk dictionary in each grade — ^four to seven. • ' One unabridged dictionary for use in grades four to seven. d. A working library of at least 700 volumes, including required subjects. e. Special equipment for primary work. 7. Required permanent records. 8. An adequate, sanitary building. * In schools offering twelve years of work organization on the six-year elementary and six-year high school plan (junior and senior high school) is accepted. The seventh school year may be substituted for the seventh grade. t The qualifications of teachers will probably be raised for the year 1930-31; certainly in a few years. t While forty pupils is a large rverage, it may be necessary in some grades in order to make the attendance required by law for the whole school. If the average daily attendance in a few grades reaches forty-three pupils, this condition will be considered temporary and will not keep the school off the accredited list. § Two sets of 10 each are accepted for one of the sets — if desired. yi Dictionaries are recommended for the fourth grade. r 4 Standards for Elementary Schools GROUP I— CLASS B 1.

H Dictionaries are recommended for the fourth grade. Standards for Elementary Schools COURSE OF STUDY A unified, carefully graded course of study is essential to effective work. The law requires the teaching of certain fundamental subjects as they are arranged, by grades and outlined in the State Course of Study, in all seven- year elementary schools. The curriculum of an elementary school which follows the State Course of Study will be approved. Every effort should be made to strengthen and supplement the work, and to broaden and enrich the curriculum to meet the needs of the pupils in giving them the fundamentals of an education. Textbooks. The State adopted textbooks are required by law to be used in all the elementary schools of the State. Required Subjects. The course of study should include: English (Reading, Language, and Spelling) — grades one to seven; Arithmetic — grades one to seven; Geography — grades four to seven; History (including North Carolina History in the sixth grade) — grades five to seven. The amount of time specified is required to be given to the following subjects : Health and Physical Education* — grades one to seven, 120 minutes per week. Writingf — grades one to six, 75 minutes per week; grade seven, 45 minutes. MusicJ — grades one to seven, 75 minutes per week. Art — grades one to seven, 60 minutes. Amount of Work Required by Grades. The State Course of Study is to be used as the basis of classification of pupils and as outlining by grades the work in each subject. Standard Tests. It is urgently recommended that schools employ measurements as an aid in determining the results of teaching and the ability to learn. Intelligence Tests, and Standard Achievement Tests should be used as a help in the classification of pupils, to reveal individual needs and to indicate the prog- ress of the class. * Health is a required subject in all grades, one to seven. At least 60 minutes per week should be given to this subject in all grades, and at least 60 minutes to physical education. Health Texts are required in grades five and six; their use is optional in grades four and seven. When the texts are not used in grades four and seven it is recommended that the school own some Health books — at least 12 books for each of these grades. These books may be included in the library or the sets of supplementary readers. t Less time may be given if pupils measure up to grade standard on a standard writing scale. t Music Texts are required in grades two to seven. If the pupils do not own them, the school is required to own at least two sets of State adopted texts (30 copies each) to be used from grade to grade. Standards for Elementary Schools 7 Completion of a Standard Elementary School. This includes satisfactory completion of the prescribed seven-year course of study in English, Arithmetic, Geography and History, with the speci- fied amount of time devoted to Health and Physical Education, Writing, Music and Art Education. Pupils completing the course in a standard elementary school should be issued Certificates of Completion -which will entitle them to enter a standard high school without examination. SUGGESTED TIME DISTRIBUTION TABLE The time allotments given below are offered as tentative bases for the work. The distribution of time should be determined by the needs of the children. The use of large units of work with provision for children's interests and enriched experiences will often call for a combination of sub- jects and the reorganization of the materials of instruction, as needed to carry these on. Directed study should be a vital part of the classroom work.

All standard elementary schools are required to keep a complete, accu- rate, accumulative scholastic and attendance record for each child, including his final standing and location by grade. The individual record sheets of the register should be detached, placed in envelopes at the end of the year and permanently filed. A supply of individual manila envelopes may be purchased from Barrett Printing Co., Wilson, N. C. Only one envelope will be needed for each pupil as long as he remains in school. Annual Report. A preliminary report at the opening of school and an annual report to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction are required of all standard schools. * English includes Reading, Language, and Spelling, t Last half of term. t Less time should be given by students measuring up to grade standard on a Standard Writing Scale. § Frequently included in language work and opening exercises. At other times special periods are used. H Additional time (IJ^ to 2 hrs.) should be added if industrial and practical arts are taught. Standards for Elementary Schools EQUIPMENT SUPPLEMENTARY READERS Easy, interesting supplementary reading material should be selected, including children's literature, geography and travel, history, biography, science. Lists of supplementary readers for each grade, including books recently published or especially recommended, will be furnished by the State Department of Public Instruction. DICTIONARIES A list giving the dictionaries, approved by the Textbook Commission, will be sent to all schools. MAPS AND GLOBE Effective teaching of Geography and History requires not only reference and supplementary reading material, but an adequate number of maps and charts, together with the constant use of a globe. The requirements for use in grades four to seven are as follows: Globe. At least 12" in diameter (preferably a suspension globe). Maps. A. Physical Series: World on Mercator's Projection Asia United States Africa North America Australia South America Eastern Hemisphere Europe Western Hemisphere At least five of the above are required.

Loan System: A charging system should be kept, preferably by means of cards. (See State Bulletin, "List of Library Books for Elementary Schools," pages 8 and 9. Supplies may be purchased from Gaylord Bros., Syracuse, N. Y.) Records: The following records and information should be kept: 1. Accurate and up-to-date accession record of all the books in the library in a Standard Accession Book.* 2. Number of volumes in library — (a) at beginning of year; (b) num- ber added during year; (c) total number to date. 3. Record of use of libraryf — total number of borrowers; total num- ber of volumes loaned during the year. 4. Grade libraries — number of books distributed to each grade. 5. A permanent record of each pupil's library reading. 6. Amount of money spent for new books — there should be an annual library appropriation. 7. Number of magazines taken. 8. Record of library service — time given per week by teacher-librarian or regularly employed librarian. Classification: The books in the library should be classified by standard library classification. The book "School Library Management," (latest edition) by Martha Wilson, published by H. W. Wilson Co., White Plains, New York, price $1.25, gives full information in regard to library organi- zation. Such a book should be in all schools. * This is a numerical list of the books in the library in the order in which they are added to the library. This list should be kept in a separate book from the high school list. A Standard Accession Book of one thousand lines may be purchased from Gaylord Bros. Price $1.25. t The total number of borrowers consists of the total number of children who borrowed books. The total circulation is obtained by counting the total number of times each book was loaned. Count the book cards at the close of each day before filing them. This gives the total number of books loaned each day. The total for the month and the year is compiled from the daily record. A book designed for keeping this record (entitled "Record of Books Borrowed") may be bought from Gaylord Bros. Price 40 cents. 10 Standards for Elementary Schools Library Room.
