This paper is the report of a study of school organization and of the elementary program of studies in general and of the application of specific principles evolved from such study to the Trapnell Elementary School, Hillsboroug County. Since some words in the English language have so many different meanings, the term "organization" should be clearly defined at the outset of this paper. If an elementary principal is asked about the organization used in his school, he will usually answer, "oh, we have a six-year elementary school: (or a seven-year or eight-year school, as the case may be), or "We have a departmentalized set-up." These answers may be very vague to a person unfamiliar with school organization in the elementary school. The term "organization", when applied to an elementary school, is a multiple or many-phased idea. / Typescript. / "August, 1955." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Marian W.

The problem of this study is a critical evaluation of some of the objectives and practices in the development of an evolving curriculum in the Dallas Elementary Schools. The criteria are based on the implications found in the study of the ideals of a democracy and the psychology of human growth and learning.

The purpose of this study was to make an evaluation of the elementary school program of Carlsbad, New Mexico, so that as clear and accurate a picture as possible might be obtained of present practices, to compare these practices with acceptable educational information and philosophy of the present time, and to make recommendations for improving the school program. The results of the study should be beneficial to administrators and teachers alike in the improvement of the schools.
