One of the most important responsibilities of the elementary school is the teaching of reading. It is more important today than ever before for children and adults to know how to read. This is true both for personal and social growth. From the personal standpoint, the child and adult come to have a better understanding of the world about them and became better adjusted citizens. Reading also provides opportunities for relaxation, recreation, and healthy emotional growth. From the social viewpoint, a high level of reading is important in order that the citizens may be able to study and understand the problems facing the country today. Until the citizens are able to read with a critical and understanding mind they will be unable to make decisions wisely in helping to rule in a democracy. / 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: Mildred E.
