The writer of this study served as assistant principal and classroom teacher in the public schools for white children in Collins, Georgia, during the school tern of 1950-51. Occupying the dual position of carrying out certain delegated administrative responsibilities and teaching four classes daily afforded opportunity not only for recognizing the school's problems, but to get the viewpoints of the pupils toward the school. A study of the school records revealed that large numbers of pupils leave school before graduation, but there the record ends. There is no information as to what became of the pupil in later life. / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Education." / Advisor: H.
