Following an historical discussion of graduate study in adult education, four models designed for a graduate study program, since 1960, are discussed and illustrated. The models are: (1) the Essert Model, comprised of three concentric circles consisting of core, augmentation, and specialization courses; (2) the Knowles Model, comprised of two…

Intended to provide an orientation to special education under the jurisdiction of the California State Department of Education, the publication presents a summary of the status of special education in California and an overview of provisions made to serve children with physical, mental, and emotional exceptionalities. The history of special…

A detailed specification of the LOGO programing system is given. The level of description is intended to enable system programers to design LOGO processors of their own. The discussion of storage allocation and garbage collection algorithms is virtually complete. An annotated LOGO system listing for the PDP-10 computer system may be obtained on…

This directory of institutions conducting programs of multicultural education is compiled from data collected from 300 institutions prior to July 1, 1971. It does not claim to be comprehensive but provides a useful source of information on who is doing what and where concerning multicultural programs in teacher education. Programs are listed by…

Developed on the assumption that part-time nursing services will eventually become part of a comprehensive health program for each industry served, this 3-part guide contains guidelines for planning, promoting, and developing a part-time nursing service. Part I provides administrative considerations for planning the service and responsibilities of…

The report describes the delivery of services to the mentally retarded in the states of California, Colorado, North Carolina, Ohio, and Washington. Reported are such data as number of residents in state institutions and per 100,000 population, number of 24-hour care community placements, enrollees in special education programs and sheltered…

In tracing the history and purposes of domestic antipoverty programs, this study seeks to explain why the problem of poverty in America is still unsolved.

The effects of dynamic quantum allocation and swap-time variability on central processing unit (CPU) behavior are investigated using a model that allows both quantum length and swap-time to be state-dependent random variables. Effective CPU utilization is defined to be the proportion of a CPU busy period that is devoted to program processing, i.e.…
