By: Baxter, Bernice [author]Contributor(s): Lewis, Gertrude M [co-author] | Cross, Gertrude M [co-author]Material type: Text

TextPublication details: Boston : Heath and Company, c1952Description: x, 374 : illustrations ; 23 cmSubject(s): ELEMTARY EDUCATIONLOC classification: LB 1555 .B3 1952

Contents:

Part One. Education in American society -- Part Two. Children grow and learn -- Part Three. The Teacher and the neighborhood school -- Part Four. The School in action -- Part Five. Conclusion and forward look.

Summary: As our American society becomes increasingly complex, our schools find their role more difficult to define. This is particularly true of elementary education which has long fulfilled the function of orienting and integrating the youngest members of society into community life. Recently acquired scientific knowledge of children's growth and developmental needs has made us more sensitive than in past years to optimum growth conditions for children. Rapidly changing modes of existence have taxed our flexibility in adjusting without social dislocation to changes necessitated in living.
