To these classesCamealso native-borncitizens that theymight learnto read and write theEnglish language.Itwas most evident that the term " Americanizationglasses"was not # suitablenamefor classe schoolsto which native-borncitizenscamethat they might become literate intheir nativelanguage.Adulischools and edulteduca- tion thuscameinto general 'use.The word" Americanization". couldnot be appliedto more than 13,700,000foreign-born residents. Theterm " adult education "mayhave applicationto all adults.

Theassociationhisapaid staffwithheadquarters at No. 41 EastForty-second Street,New YorkCity, andfundsare available forthe prosecutionof the work. The object ofthis associationis set forthin ArticleII of the consti- tution, is follows: e shall be topromote thedevelopmentand improvementof adult .

In the year1925 theUnited StatesBureauof Educationaddedw its list ofspecialists onein adultedelcation,whose businessit is to collect anddistribute data onall phasesof thework. Manygroupsand societiés, uponbecoming,conscious of thefact that theyhave beenworking inthe fieldof adulteducation, which beforewasnotclearlyunderstood, arepurposelymaking theirw4rk moreandmoreeducational in nature.For instance, one groupwh h heretoforecontented itselfwithmereentertainment, uponbecomig awarethat it waslargelyaneducational'institution, changedthese purelyentertainmentfeatures totalks and reports of aserious and worth-while nature.The membersof mostsocieties like tofeel that PUBLICEDUCATION 07AIYUL113 3 theyaredoing workthat is educational,andasthey becomecon-* scious of this theymake itmore so.

  • Writing Home from Around the World, 1926–1927
    Writing Home from Around the World, 1926–1927 A keen and amused observer, Tom Johnson is an articulate and conscien- tious letter writer. The reader has the feeling he was writing for himself as much as his family as he makes sentences and paragraphs of his impressions of the world at the height of colonialism. By THOMAS H. JOHNSON Edited with an introduction by LAURA JOHNSON WATERMAN y father, Thomas H. Johnson, the writer of these letters, was born in 1902 on the Connecticut River Valley farm known as Stone Cliff, located one mile north of the vil- Mlage of Bradford. In 1926, upon his graduation from Williams College, Tom Johnson embarked on a world cruise that was to last the length of a school year—September to May. He had been invited to teach Eliza- bethan Drama and American Literature (subjects he soon found to be not particularly relevant) on the fi rst ever student travel experiment. This was launched on a large scale with over fi fty faculty and four hun- dred and fi fty students, one hundred and twenty of them women. A. J. McIntosh, president of the University Travel Association, saw this as an opportunity to combine formal education with travel, and orga- nized the adventure by reaching out to colleges across the country. The project became known as the Floating University and was considered . LAURA JOHNSON WATERMAN is the author of Losing the Garden (2005), a memoir of thirty years of homesteading in East Corinth, Vermont. She co-authored with her late husband, Guy Waterman, fi ve books on the history of climbing the moun- tains of the Northeast and related environmental issues, among them, Forest and Crag (1989), Backwoods Ethics (1993), and Wilderness Ethics (1993).

  • Representations of Gender and Age in the 1920S
    JOURNALHirshbein / THEOF FAMILY FLAPPER HISTORY AND THE / January FOGY 2001 THE FLAPPER AND THE FOGY: REPRESENTATIONS OF GENDER AND AGE IN THE 1920S Laura Davidow Hirshbein In the 1920s in the United States, public attention was riveted on the antics of a new, rebellious younger generation. Although popular representations focused on youth in crisis, these representations emphasized comparisons between young and old. This article explores the public discussions about youth culture in the 1920s and how they helped to refine cultural categories of youth and old age. In addition, through gender-specific representations, social commentators worked out new definitions of masculinity, femininity, and the relationships between the sexes. Furthermore, the rhetorical conflict between generations of Americans helped to frame important contemporary questions about national identity. In the 1920s in the United States, public attention was riveted on the represented antics of a new, rebellious younger generation. Within the mass culture of the burgeoning magazine and movie industries, as well as the new medium of motion pictures and expansions in advertising, one of the hottest topics of the time was youth.1 Commenta- tors of the time wrote extensively on whether or not the younger generation was lead- ing society toward progress or toward destruction. But while the ostensible topic of these discussions was the behavior of young people, popular representations of youth in crisis depended on a constant series of comparisons between young and old. In this article, I explore the discussions of youth that appeared in popular magazines in the 1920s. I focus on the definitions of youth and old age that emerged from these public discussions, as well as the implications for gender standards and national iden- tity.

CRIME COMMSSIONS AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE IN THE UNITE) STATES SINCE 1920 A BIBLIOGRAPHY January, 1920-June, 19271 ESTEER CoNNER INTRODUCTION The high rate of crime in the United States has resulted in a country wide movement against crime. The most satisfactory organ- ization formed is the crime commission or some variation from it, which has been either National, state or city in scope.

In this study, as in the two earlier ones, the analysis has been limited to the trading on the Chicago Board of Trade where from 85 to 90 per cent of the trans- actions in grain futures are made and in particular where practically all of the large-scale speculative trading in wheat futures is done. Of the various grains traded in, wheat has in each case been selected because it has ranked foremost in speculative interest. The first of these three studies covered the period from January 2 to April 18, 1925. The investigation was occasioned by the extreme and erratic fluctuations in wheat prices during this period causing general uncertainty in the grain trade.

  • Residential History of Cottages on the Grounds of Scripps Institution Of
    Residential History of Cottages on the Grounds of Scripps Institution of Oceanography Compiled by Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives April 23, 2007 The first cottages were built at Scripps in 1913, and residents lived there until around 1959, when the University asked that the cottages all be vacated. The reader will notice that this is not a complete residential history; this information was gleaned from SIO Office of the Business Manager accounting books, indicating who paid the rent on various cottages over time. At the end is a partial list of children who lived in these cottages. The cottage numbering follows the numbering scheme on a “Map of a Portion of the Scripps Institution for Biological Research, Showing Suggested Improvements, January 1919” which is located in the SIO Office of the Business Manager oversize files. For this history, a numbered 1949 aerial photograph of Scripps shows the cottage locations. Cottage #15 no longer existed in 1949, so its location is drawn onto this aerial photograph.
