Abstract
Public education in America is in crisis. Its critics point out that it is not doing its job at all effectively---at least according to the current expectations of upgrading the economically and culturally handicapped. The costs of public education have risen alarmingly in the past 20 years, and are currently out-running the tax base at all levels of education from primary school to graduate school. In the early sixties, many educators joined forces with systems specialists and computer development people in what has turned out to be a romantic dream. The dream was to some way, some how, combine concepts of system analysis and computer technology with principles of programmed learning in a way that would revolutionize learning. Those high hopes have proved to be remarkably short-lived.
