Σελίδα 5 - Staff" is one of the 25 sections of the report of the Education Survey of Cleveland conducted by the Survey Committee of the Cleveland Foundation in 1915.
Σελίδα 88 - Far more attention should be paid in the elementary grades to hardy, organized games. There both numbers and needs (even the adolescent needs) predominate, as compared to the high school. In Cleveland, schools can do larger service with plays and games in the grades than in the high schools. It would be better to turn the whole corps of physical training teachers into the elementary grades and neglect the high schools than to practise economy so unequally at the expense of the grades as at present....
Σελίδα 48 - Other plays and games held terested children for only their interest for 6 hours 15 minutes in two days and 29 minutes in two days A PLAY CENSUS OF CLEVELAND PUPILS A play census, taken June 23, 1913, under the direction of the Chief Medical Inspector and Assistant Superintendent in charge of Physical Education in Cleveland, seemed to show this same lack of relationship between the school and the out-of-school activities of children. The results of this study are shown in Table 7. TABLE 7.— WHAT...
Σελίδα 93 - CLEVELAND EDUCATION SURVEY REPORTS These reports can be secured from the Survey Committee of the Cleveland Foundation, Cleveland, Ohio. They will be sent postpaid for 25 cents per volume with the exception of "Measuring the Work of the Public Schools" by Judd, "The Cleveland School Survey" by Ayres, and "Wage Earning and Education
Σελίδα 90 - Play is more than recreation. If its educational significance is real in the kindergarten period, it is real in every subsequent stage of growth and development. Rightly conceived, play is a most efficient method of education for life, for work, for social service. The fact that we do not yet know how to make full use of play in education need not and should not prevent the utilization of play, to the full extent to which we are prepared, for the tremendous social service it can render.
Σελίδα 76 - CLEVELAND CHILDREN AT THE MOVIES But by far the most striking evidence of the dramatic interest is seen in the attendance record of pupils at the moving pictures. Seventy-eight per cent of the boys of the elementary school are accustomed to attend the movies, and 84 per cent of the girls. These children attend, on the average, three times in every two weeks. This is more frequent than the attendance that has been estimated for the general population of New York City — once a week; or for Cleveland...
Σελίδα 66 - Rumors of boys being stabbed, shot, clubbed, maimed, and killed are current everywhere, and there is good reason to believe that many of them are true. Such things are, of course, never mentioned to strangers, and residents learn of them only by chance conversation. The moment that any definite questions are asked, the boys become reticent and change the subject. But there can be no doubt that many crimes are committed in these blocks which never reach the ears of the police, and that a considerable...
Σελίδα 49 - FROM THIS CENSUS 1. That just at the age (under 15) when play and activity are the fundamental requirements for proper growth and development 41 per cent of the children seen were doing nothing. The boy without play is father to the man without a job. 2. Fifty-one per cent of all the children seen were in the streets, in the midst of all the traffic, dirt, and heat, and in an environment conducive to just the wrong kind of play.
Σελίδα 18 - Pupils will not be allowed to . . . remain on or revisit the premises after dismissal of the school, except by special permission of the principal of the building." So read the Rules of the Board of Education. Whether under the circumstances this is a wise rule or not, it suggests disuse of the school playgrounds...
Σελίδα 13 - On the contrary, its treatment is delightfully free and easy. The scope of the work may be gathered from the fact that the comparison of the two peoples refers to their education, patriotism, politics, religion, virtues, custom, society, success, and variety, — this last implying their diversity as peoples, that is, the degrees in which portions of them vary from the common type. But this enumeration utterly fails...
