Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The first high schools in America and in New Mexico were conducted by the churches. These high schools were pioneers in educational thought and progress until recent years. Public High schools have made much progress in New Mexico the last quarter of a century. Not only have the public high schools improved in the quality of work they are doing, but they have increased in number until there are high schools in almost every section of New Mexico. This improvement has caused many people who were at one time ardent supporters of Protestant schools to question the advisability of these …

A Survey Of The Preparatory In Spanish Of The Elementary Grade Teachers In New Mexico, Leonie Seabrook Eccles

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Regardless of the merits of introducing Spanish as a second language in the elementary schools of the state, it is obvious that certain preliminary information must be gathered before one could reach a decision as to the practicability of such a move. That is, even though it should be later agreed that the program is desirable, information must be at hand in such a program; therefore, it is the purpose of this study (1) to show the academic preparation in Spanish of the elementary grade teachers in New Mexico; (2) to determine in which counties the teachers are best prepared; …

Public Ownership Versus The Contract System In School Bus Transportation, Walter Schumann

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Statement of the problem. One of the items that has played a part in the increased costs of education in America is the transportation of pupils to and from school. The tendency today is to get as much service from the tax dollar as possible. It is thought, therefore, that it would be desirable to study two major types of school bus transportation with the idea of discovering which type would give the largest return for the dollar expended. The two types that will be studied are the contract type and public ownership type. The purpose of this thesis is …
