Abstract
In 1935 the Elementary Division of the New York City schools began an experiment with the activity program. This program was introduced into selected schools, and these schools were asked to experiment with the new practices for a period of six years. At the same time an Advisory Committee was formed to guide the curriculum development and to evaluate the results of the experiment. The Advisory Committee1 made a continuous appraisal of the school practices. In 1939, near the conclusion of the experiment, the Board of Education requested the State Education Department to evaluate the experiment in order to determine the relative efficiency of the new versus the old program in achieving the objectives of the elementary schools. In this evaluation, the State Education Department obtained the services of out standing consultants, including Paul T. Rankin, Dr. George D. Stoddard, and Dr. Ralph W. Tyler, in addition to specialists in the State Education Depart ment. Dr. J. Cayce Morrison directed the survey and prepared the summary report.2 PROGRAMS OF APPRAISAL
