The 1930 White House Conference revealed the fact that approximately 22 out of every 100 children in the United States need special attention either in the form of medical and surgical treatment, professional supervision of feeding and exercise, or instruction under the direction of highly specialized teachers. It was revealed at that conference also that school administrators in the larger cities particularly are aware of these problems and that many have taken some steps toward providing remedies, at least for some of them. Accordingly, it seems worthwhile from time to time to secure a cross-section study of the provisions made for these groups of children and to record the results of experiments. The purpose of this study is primarily to analyze the educational opportunities being offered at present to atypical children by public-school boards in the large cities of the United States, and to determine the "unit costs" of this education. "Atypical" children are defined as those pupils requiring special facilities or instruction because of physical, mental, or moral deviation from the average (blind, deaf, mentally defective, gifted, disciplinary, etc.). State laws relating to the instruction of these children, in so far as it is controlled by local public-school boards, will be presented in tracing the relationship between the legislation and local initiative. Dr. Robert W. Kunzig, in the preparation for his Ph.D. degree, gathered, under the direction of the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania, much data which seems valuable to superintendents. From the material gathered for his dissertation, Dr. Kunzig has prepared this bulletin, which is divided into two sections. Part 1: State Control in States in Which There Are Cities of Over 100,000 Population deals with the provisions in the State laws relative to the establishment of atypical classes, the nature of the State aid provided, the trend of this legislation, and the organization and administration of State departments of special education. This material serves as background for the analysis of the local situation, which follows in Part II. Part II: Provision Made in Cities of 100,000 Population presents the role of the city in atypical class organization. First, there is a statistical analysis of the atypical class situation as it exists in the large cities. This is followed by a description of the local organization and administration of special classes, and the cost of special education to the local public school boards. Comparisons are made among the various cities as to existing special classes and the relative cost of their maintenance. Each individual chapter contains a section on "Summary and Conclusions." Data pertaining to the function of the State in special education were procured mostly from the State laws on education, State regulations and bulletins, and from questionnaires submitted to the State directors of special education or the superintendents of public instruction. Data pertaining to the function of the cities were obtained chiefly from the regulations, bulletins, and superintendents' reports issued by the cities, and from questionnaires sent to the financial officers of boards of education, directors of special education, supervisors, principals, and teachers. All of these sources were supplemented by material gathered from bulletins of the United States Office of Education, and from articles in books and periodicals dealing with public-school education. Appended to this document are: (1) Bibliography; and (2) Questionnaire Used in This Study: University of Pennsylvania School of Education. Individual sections contain footnotes. (Contains 22 tables and 4 figures.) [Best copy available has been provided.].

Excerpt from Public School Education of Atypical Children The cost Of special education is not mentioned by either of the preceding authors, and the State laws pertaining to atypical classes are discussed only casually by Wallin. Both these points are to be stressed in the present study. The Educational Finance Inquiry Commission, in making a survey of New York State in 1923, found that It was not possible, from the reports available in the State Office, to segregate the costs of various types of special work. 9 N O investigation has been found which gives any indication of the com parative costs for special education in the cities included in this study, although tabulations and comparisons of the costs of other divisions of city school systems are common procedures. Of course, a number of the larger cities have made analyses of their own costs in this field. Statistical studies of some of the atypical types have been made in recent years, but usually only one type is considered at a time rarely a comparison among the different groups Of atypical classes. Haines,10 in 1922, discussed the public-school facilities for mentally handicapped children and gave data showing the number of pupils and classes in all cities of population or over.

Do you sense things aren't quite right with your child's school experience? Maybe your child is clearly struggling or, perhaps, your child is doing all right, but you believe something is lacking? Instead of trying to force your child to fit into school, perhaps it is time to consider finding educational options that fully address your child's academic and emotional needs.In Making the Choice, Corin Barsily Goodwin, Executive Director of the Gifted Homeschoolers Forum (GHF), and Mika Gustavson, MFT, discuss how giftedness and twice exceptionality (gifted plus learning differences or "invisible disabilities") might affect the educational needs of your child. They also consider a variety of options regarding educational choices and the path to making them. Finally, they provide some questions (and hopefully answers) intended to help you make your way along this path.
