The subject of this paper is old--so old that to some it is new again. In simpler days young people learned everything except the formal mechanics of education from the people and places surrounding them. The prevailing type of "book learning" could best be accomplished indoors, where an errant butterfly might less successfully distract attention from the sad and solemn business of learning to read, spell, and cipher. Unfortunately, as education broadened its scope, it did not move out of its imprisoning walls and children continued to read textbooks about methods of seed distribution, while, unnoticed, milkweed parachutes set sail outside. / Typescript. / "August, 1948." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: R. L. Eyman, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 74-76).
