Representatives In Government - A Role For Social Planning Councils , Alan Cohen

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Excerpt from the full-text article:

I have referred to a key problem of how to make individual and group concerns known to the decision makers without ignoring the weakly organized and unorganized-and without putting both the legislators and administrators in the position of merely ratifying bargaining negotiated between these interest groups. I have suggested non-governmental Social Planning Councils have a potentially significant role to play in the changing need for representativeness for the myriad of strong, weak and unorganized groups and individuals.

This role recognizes the feedback benefits resulting from the proposition that people learn to participate by participating, and …

Institutionalization Of Social Welfare Decision-Making, Walter W. Stafford

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Introduction – Overview

In recent decades, there has been considerable attention devoted to the nature of interest group conflict and emerging structural changes in the American economic, social and political system. The economic changes have perhaps been the key indicators of emerging trends. These changes have been reflected mainly in the amount of economic activity and occupations devoted to services since the late 1950's; the increasing concern with technological growth; the close collaboration between national government policies and planning and the private sector; national governmental assistance for urban and suburban problems, and more recently, the increased mandates of interest groups …

A List Of Basic Sight Words For Older Disabled Readers, Jerry L. Johns

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The Dolch basic sight vocabulary of 220 words has generally been recognized by reading authorities as a valuable asset to reading instruction. Research by Dolch (1941), Fry (1960), and Zintz (1966) and Johns (in press) has shown that the 220 words comprising the Dolch list represent 50 to 75 per cent of all school reading matter in the elementary grades. According to Dolch, these 220 words are recognized instantly by good second-grade readers and by average third-grade readers.

A Reading Development Course, Angela M. Labmeier, Edward L. Vockell

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The effects of speed reading courses have been widely researched (cf. Berger, 1968). Stevens and Orem (1963) have suggested that the superior reader entering such a course with a more rapid reading rate, is an average or above average student, and likes to read. Rauch and Weinstein (1968) and Combs (1966) stress "read, read, read" as the best method for gaining speed. However, the National Association of Secondary School principals (1965) has warned that speed and comprehension do not necessarily go hand-in-hand, a finding which challenged earlier research by O'Brien (1921). A study of Air Force personnel (Brim, 1968) suggests …

Liberal Arts And Livelihood: A Dual Design For Higher Education, George E. Lamore Jr.

Perspectives (1969-1979)

True, there have been exceptions, and every educator thinks he is one, but generally speaking, the Liberal Arts student or graduate is deeply confused, disappointed and frustrated. He is aware that his college has taught him to think, but not to be a person or to do a job. For education to neglect these dimensions of the heart and hands is to produce something more tragic than the multiple amputee. It is to produce a truncated head, absolved from personhood and detached from practicality.

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Featured Address of this issue of Perspectives is devoted entirely to the proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Association for General and Liberal Studies which was held at Oklahoma State University, October 18 through October 20, 1973.

This is a time of crisis, a crisis of immediate and direct concern to us- to all people who are interested in general education, in liberal learning, in educating people for a free society, and in the development of liberated, liberal, humane persons.

Shifting Ideals In Higher Education, Frederick F. Ritsch

Perspectives (1969-1979)

If a controlled equalitarian democracy is a real or even a present danger in higher education, then those in the academic professions should move now to at least clarify the meaning of a higher education. This could mean a much greater vigilance with regard to what is included under the heading of a university degree; it should certainly mean reconsideration of some areas which now receive higher education validation. It would mean our classrooms be less concerned with reinforcing the immediate than with the identification and elaboration of new and more productive modes of living. It would demand that higher …

Concurrent Session 3

I hate to start out on a negative note, but I must say that it is entirely possible (and I'll include our programs at Tarrant County Junior College) that community colleges have probably never tried general education. General education, of course, has many interpretations and definitions, but the one I'm speaking of we haven't yet tried.

This issue of Perspectives is devoted entirely to the proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Association for General and Liberal Studies which was held at Oklahoma State University, October 18 through October 20, 1973.

Concurrent Session 1

In order to present an idea of the course which the University of Utah has followed in regard to general education, Professor Gordon first read a portion of a paper which he had presented at a meeting of the American Association for Higher Education in 1970. See what he said in 1970, and then see what kind of prophet he was in …

The Presence And Promise Of The New Consciousness, Benjamin Mehrling

Perspectives (1969-1979)

The counter culture controversy-that is, the claims and denials over the arrival of a new kind of person, a new breed, a new sensibility- widely discussed in the late sixties, has reached a new level of intensity. The critics are now taking the initiative, putting forward arguments intended to show either that the youth movement has been faddish, ladened with contradictions, and a luxury of the "elitists," or that it never did exist except in the imaginations and wishes of its identifiers and "discoverers."

I believe the critics have largely failed to take into account just what the discoverers of …

The Social Question In Liberal Education, Dale Porter

Perspectives (1969-1979)

In her book On Revolution (1965) Hannah Arendt makes a distinction between liberation and freedom which I want to relate to the function of liberal education in contemporary American society. The dilemma implied by that relation was developed by my students in a recent class discussion; it is on their behalf that I present it here.
