The record shows that evening classes for adults were started on a temporary basis in Dade County in 1932. With the return of the GIs after World War II, the adult education classes in Dade County took a sharp turn. From this period, the adult program took hold like a rolling snowball--until there are approximately 5,000 students enrolled. During the period following World War II until the present date, the curriculum had to be developed to meet this headlong rush of students. Just when the administration thought the major problems were being solved, the non-veteran adult became interested and started to enroll in the school in an ever-increasing number, causing the program to push ahead like the pseudopodia of the ameba, without any general direction. In 1955 the administration was recommending that a large sum of money be encumbered to operate a program that would be able to enroll and give instruction to approximately 7500 adults. Before requesting this budget, the administration felt they must develop a philosophy and know more about the adult who had been attending classes. With this in mind authority was given for a survey in Dade County. / Typescript. / "August, 1957." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Includes bibliographical references (leaf 17).
