An Evaluation Of The Practices And Functions Of The Clerk Of The Board Of Education In The State Of Utah, Dean C. Andrew

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Regardless of the size, the school district has some person who is responsible for keeping the clerical and financial records of the school district. This position is very frequently designated as the office of the clerk of the board of education. When the efficient clerk assumes the clerical and financial duties of the school district the superintendent is relieved of endless details, which allows him greater opportunity to perform those functions for which he is qualified, thus a smoother and a more efficient school system is the result. It has been thought in the past that any person regardless of …

Teachers' Unions In American Education, Robert Snyder

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The primary purpose of this study is to give the administrator, supervisor and classroom teacher a graphic resume of the rise and development of teachers' unions in the educational system of the United States. Many educators have become passive to unionization, and as a result of their passiveness they have given added impetus to a force that must ultimately be reckoned with.

In Defense Of The Public Schools, Emil E. Samuelson

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

It is apparent that American public education is under attack. Furthermore, there is plenty of evidence that this attack is mounting, for criticism of educational practices seems to be steadily increasing. It would be well to recognize this trend and to analyze the criticisms carefully. For it isn't likely that these criticisms can be entirely dismissed as an inevitable part of "war hysteria" even though the world war has undoubtedly provided a favorable climate for criticism of public education.

The Stuff Of Which Peace Is Made, A. J. Foy Cross

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

This isn't a discussion of whether we spend too much or too little for education. The true American patriot would spend his last dollar to insure our democracy as our way of life. Through armed force we have reffirmed our right to live in a democratic society, but only through exended public education can we be assured that our people will continue to want to live in a democracy and that thev will know how to live in the American way. America for these reasons can afford free public education at any cost. This is, rather than a discussion of …
