Or, are there-for whatever reasons-systematic differences between the images presented of male and female applicants? If the images presented are different, it raises the possibility that applicants are perceived by letter writers not in terms of achievement but ascription. As Everett Hughes (1945, pp. 354-55) observed, \"people carry in their minds a set of expectations concerning the auxiliary traits properly associated with many of the specific positions available in our society.\" In the colleague group or fellowworker group these expectations are especially important: \"They become, in fact, the basis of the colleague-group's definition of its common interests, of its informal code, and of selection of those who become the inner fraternity.\" Focusing more specifically on the academy, some analysts believe that performance-publication, teaching, and service-in this realm is evaluated on the basis of objective professional standards.

Warren","doi":"10.1086/443454","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/443454","url":null,"abstract":"Most historians are willing to admit that biography is one of their more difficult assignments. Methodological problems are legend, not the least of which is assessing the utility of a subject's private papers. In addition there is the difficulty of identifying and weighing the webs of intellectual, social, and psychological influences without being distracted from the primary focus: the reconstruction of a particular life. The problems are compounded in that they are easily missed by unwary or untrained eyes. Given the complexities, it is not surprising that few biographies achieve analytical balance. The gaps in historical knowledge that follow are evident throughout the field, but they are especially notable in education history. To be candid, the problem with education biography is not that a vacuum exists but rather that what we have is largely vacuous. Two of the studies included in this review tend to fall within that sad tradition. Neither of them adds significantly to our knowledge of the critical personalities who shaped nineteenth-century American education although, to be fair, Gutek's study, the best of the three, focuses intentionally on one of the early and minor characters in that development. Frederick Augustus Porter Barnard, of course, was not a minor character. A New Englander by birth, whose life spanned almost a full century (1809-89), he is best known for his 25-year tenure as president of Columbia College from 1864 to 1889. Barnard College carries his name, an institution founded as a \"women's annex\" after the","PeriodicalId":83260,"journal":{"name":"The School science review","volume":"112 1","pages":"72 - 78"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74504877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have stated that our purpose is to stimulate discussion. In conclusion we offer some additional questions to consider in reading the Berk and Berson response. 1. Is the \"extension of public schooling downward to include the very early childhood years\" the same as having good child-care services for young children? How will the public schools accommodate to the other-than-educational aspects of early childhood programs? 2. If Head Start and day care are not acceptable as they exist, then why project program costs based on their budgets? What would the cost of a day-care program under public school auspices be? 3. Is proximity to children a valid criterion for determining whether schools would provide a variety of supportive services? 4. How will schools that have for generations excluded parents from participation in educational program planning reverse that trend?","PeriodicalId":83260,"journal":{"name":"The School science review","volume":"16 1","pages":"124 - 126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78313562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
