ADMINISTRATION 1895 CHI PPEW A 1935 THE COPELAND EXPERIMENT Honorable Royal S. Copeland, United States Senator from the state of New York, has been a prominent figure in our national affairs for many years. Senator Cope- land is a native of the state of Michigan and was for some ti1ne a. practicing physi- cian in Bay City and a member of the medical faculty of the University at Ann Arbor. Upon leaving Michigan, Senator Copeland went to New York City where for a number of years he was City Commissioner of Public Health. In 1923 he was elected Senator from New York and has held this position ever since. Senator Copeland was a member of the Senate Committee on Commerce in the seventy-third congress and was Chairman of a Subcommittee to Investigate Crime and Crime Control with Special Reference to so-called 'iRackets. This Subcom- mittee, the other members of which were Senator Vandenberg of Michigan and Senator Murphy of Iowa, held extended hearings in New York, Chicago and De- troit. As a result of these hearings Senator Copeland came to the conclusion that our schools and our educational systems should give more particular attention to character education than has been the case in the past. . NVhile it is true that the development of good citizenship has always been consider- ed the basis of free and compulsory education, it is questionable whether the schools have done all that lies in their power in this Held. As a result of Senator Copelands convictions on this matter and at his suggestion the American Council on Education. appointed a committee in the summer of 1934 to work out experi- ments in character education. One of the first steps of this committee was to set up a comprehensive experiment in the public schools of Wfashington, D .C. Qwing to the activity of our State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Honor- able Paul F. Voelker, other experiments are going forward in the state of Michi- gan. The Burton School in Grand Rapids has undertaken hto develop a schedule of records to meet the requirements when education is focused upon the child rather than the subject matter, The following Michigan educators are heading up these character experiments in our state: Dr. Kenneth L. Heaton, Director of the Bureau of Curriculum and Guidance. Department of Public Instructiong Dr. E. L. Austin, Head of the De- partment of Education, Michigan State College: Dr. Wfillard Olson, Director of' Research in Child Development, University of Michigang Dr. C. L. Spain, Execu- tive Vice-President of Wfayne University and Dr. Roy F. Street, Director of Men- tal Hygiene of the Ann I. Kellogg School, Battle Creek. At the suggestion of this Committee and at the request and with the approval of the' State Board of Educa- tion, Central State Teachers College was asked to work out a curriculum in the training of teachers which should give special attention to character building. Doc- tors Austin and Heaton have taken the direction of the preparation of this experi- ment and a general committee of the Central faculty was appointed in November, 28
