This bulletin provides the seventh chapter of the Biennial Survey of Education, 1930-32, which has been published in separate chapters dealing with specific segments of the educational system. The purpose of this publication is to make available information on educational legislation enacted during 1931 and 1932. Probably in no previous biennium have there been more legislative sessions among the American commonwealths. During this period every State had a regular legislative session, and the governors of approximately three-fourths of the States called their respective legislatures into special session to wrestle with the serious problems growing out of the economic depression. Legislative activity relating to education during this period attained unusual prominence. Every State legislature was confronted with the vital and difficult problem of securing adequate educational facilities in the face of diminishing public revenue. The task of analyzing and reviewing legislation enacted during this unusual period present unusual difficulties. Numerous enactments affecting education are found to be considerably involved and include many implications which have been perplexing even to school authorities within the respective States. Owing to the necessity for brevity and the multiplicity of enactments relating to education, only these certain phases or subjects are here reviewed: (1) State administrative organization; (2) State school support; (3) Local school administration; (4) Efficiency in the business management of schools, budgets, etc.; (5) Teachers; (6) Teacher institutes; (7) School attendance; (8) High schools; (9) Tuition and transportation; (10) Textbooks; (11) Curriculum; (12) School health and safety; (13) Kindergartens; (14) Adult and vocational education; (15) Handicapped and dependent children; and (16) Educational surveys. An index is included. (Contains 5 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.].
The legislature of every American Commonwealth, except Alabama, was in regular session during the years 1929 and 1930 here reviewed. A large mass of educational legislation was enacted. The enactments represent the latest types of legislation on the subjects with which they generally deal. Distinctly new educational movements are not conspicuous among them. Recent educational legislation undertakes principally the improvement of older laws and proceedings along lines already well defined. With respect to this type of legislation it may be said that so long as public-school conditions remain below widely approved standards, many of them still are, so long as school administration becomes more complex, and so long as educational standards advance, better and additional laws will be necessary. Among the present needs are more school funds, improved school buildings, efficiency in school business, and properly trained teachers. Until these things are accomplished the proposition that there is too much educational legislation will be untenable. The following topics relating to educational legislation are discussed herein: (1) Educational investigations and surveys; (2) Recodification of school laws; (3) State departments; (4) State school support; (5) County responsibility; (6) County superintendent; (7) Local school organization and support; (8) Teacher training and certification; (9) The curriculum; (10) Teachers pensions; (11) School attendance; (12) Pupil transportation and tuiti0n; (13) Higher education; and (14) Education of exceptional children.
