II. Co-operation suggested for the Charlottesville Public Schools and the Schools of Educational Psychology, Secondary Education and School Administration.

1. Educational Psychology:

The Professor of Educational Psychology, (1)
upon request of the school authorities, to study and
report upon problems of the school system which present
psychological aspects, and (2) to examine children referred
to him by the school authorities, with a view
to diagnosing their abilities or disabilities.

(To carry out No. 2, an examining room should be
provided in one of the school buildings, and the work
would probably be facilitated if the Professor of
Educational Psychology were officially designated
Special Examiner of the Schools.)

The work of the Professor of Educational
Psychology in the schools to be attended and participated
in by advanced students of spychology, at his direction,
with a view to training such students in psychological
methods.

2. Secondary Education:

Permission for and plans of co-operation with school
authorities with reference to the program of studies
in the Charlottesville High School. Professional
students in Secondary Education should have the opportunity
of carrying on research studies in the city
schools that meet with the approval of the Superintendent
of Schools and the Professor of Secondary
Education.

3. School Administration:

It should be of advantage to the School of
Educational Administration to co-operate with the
public schools of Charlottesville in acquainting
the students in Education with the technical
aspects of the administration and management of the
city school system. Likewise, it should be of advantage
to the city school system to confer and
advise with the School of Educational Administration
concerning these matters. Professional students in
school administration should be afforded an opportunity
of carrying on research studies in the city schools
on such problems of administration and supervision as
the city superintendent from time to time wishes studied

4. Summer Quarter:

It is agreed that the foregoing general plan of
co-operation applies also to the Summer Quarter.

COMMITTEE: W. R. Smithey, Chairman.
