Abstract

A college professor has said that if all the statisticians and economists of the nation could be laid out in a straight line, end to end, they would not reach a conclusion. Experienced classroom teachers will readily admit that this disconcerting opinion applies even more strongly to our educational policymakers. Their chronic inability to agree on a definite program for any length of time, or else the haste with which they often disavow the very plans they acclaimed so enthusiastically only yesterday, has reduced the edutional scene to a condition bordering on chaos. Externally, to be sure, we have much to be thankful for. Magnificent new school buildings have been constructed. The public support of education is becoming more dependable. Enrollment figures have risen to spectacular heights. Our children and young people usually like to go to school. On the whole, they are satisfactorily nourished and their health is carefully guarded. These are all great accomplishments.
