The paper reports progress in the Millville Elementary School, Panama City, Florida, in the three year period from July 1, 1949 to July 1, 1952. During this time the faculty attempted to secure information relative to the situation, discover their most significant problems, develop a common point of view, and set about, with the help of all concerned to build a better program. In this effort, the Evaluative Criteria for Elementary Schools served as a general guide. Consultative help from Florida State University was available to the faculty during the entire period. In taking stock of the situation, the types of problems discovered might well be discussed under four categories: (1) the situation from the viewpoint of the pupils; (2) the situation from the viewpoint of the faculty; (3) the situation from the viewpoint of the community; and, (4) the situation as reflected by the general conditions of the building. / Typescript. / "August, 1952." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: W.

"Several years ago the faculty of Allie Yniestra Elementary School of Pensacola, Florida, under the leadership of a progressive, professional principal, agreed to place the children into the various rooms of each grade according to their reading ability, the basis of judgment being the scores of the Stanford Achievement Tests given to the children during May of the previous year. Two years later, after much discussion and study, the school returned to its former method of grouping, which was simply dividing the names of the boys and girls among the various teachers of each grade. Test scores of the sixth grade children during two years of each method of grouping were carefully retained and compared. It is as a member of Yniestra faculty, and in the light of those scores, that this study of grouping was undertaken. It is the purpose of this paper to investigate the origin and need of grouping, to examine critically the different methods, and to analyze their possible effect on the objectives and functions of the elementary school of today"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "August, 1950." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts under Plan II." / Advisor: Mildred Swearingen, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 30-31).

The aim of this research was to determine the perceptions of school climate of 178 educators of six primary schools in the Southern Cape. Two instruments, namely The Organizational Climate Description Questionnaire Rutgers Elementary (OCDQ-RE) and Dimensions of Organizational Health Inventory of Elementary Schools (OHI-E) were used. The results indicated that primary school educators in the Southern Cape perceived their relations with their principals as more closed, while educator-educator relations were being perceived as more open of nature. The typical climate prototype for the relevant primary schools, was an engaged school climate. Regarding the overall organizational health of primary schools, average health profiles were found. A significant relationship was found between the perceptions of primary school educators with regard to organizational climate and organizational health. A significant difference between educators of different primary schools was found regarding their perceptions of all the different dimensions of both organizational climate and health. / Educational Studies / M.Ed.
