"Principals and teachers are being challenged as never before to provide more abundant living and learning in the schools of America. More and more we hear such typical expressions as; 'the schools should provide the children of our country with real experience in living and learning rather than artificial experiences.'

Furthermore, teachers cannot hold exclusively to traditional subject matter and make use of the newer concept of education to which they subscribe. Many of the problems of the school have their origin in the community which the school serves. The school cannot solve these problems in isolation or without assistance from the community.
