When school opens each year, the children of America start to elementary school, approximately 26,000,000 strong, in schools that are small, medium, large in size with all types of desks, in buildings that are adequately or inadequately equipped for the physical well-being of the child. Some buildings are well lighted and airy, while others are dark and dreary. Sone have well kept grounds that are pleasing to the eye while others are just buildings with so much land that has been bought and set aside for school purposes. Why is there so much contrast in school buildings and grounds in America, that is generally thought of as a "land of plenty"? Some of the reasons lie in the fact that the American School System is considered a local obligation--a community problem, challenge, opportunity for the citizenry of the school district. Why do some communities point with pride to their schools while others pass them up as just another community service? / 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.
