265 Annals Am. Acad. Pol. & Soc. Sci. vii (1949)

handle is hein.cow/anamacp0265 and id is 1 raw text is: FOREWORD MUCH concern has been shown in recent years over the state of education in this country, as evidenced by our popular magazines of national circulation, which frequently carry feature articles dealing with current problems in this field. As a result of the political, social, and economic crises through which the world has been passing in the last two decades, people have become more socially conscious than ever before. More and more they look to education, particularly public edu- cation, as the panacea for all our social ills. As they look at the schools, however, they are disturbed by what they see. They see an institution that is unprepared for the gigantic task society would like to thrust upon it. Most people recognize the existence of the problem, but few see it clearly in all of its ramifications. Because of the conflicting proposals that have been advanced as cures for our educational ills, this issue of THE ANNALS is devoted to a discussion of the educa- tional problems that confront us. In it, both specialists in education and leaders in other fields, who have expressed an interest in education, have been invited to collaborate in identifying, explaining, and interpreting significant current issues and trends involved in the maintenance of an adequate and efficient educational system-one that should meet the needs of the present-day social order. Space permits neither a discussion of all issues, nor a detailed, technical treat- ment of any particular issue. Nevertheless, it is felt that the treatment is compre- hensive and that it portrays the various aspects of the total problem in such a manner as to reveal their interrelationships and their impact upon American life. If this volume succeeds in dissipating some of the confusion, in clarifying some of the issues, and in offering solutions for significant problems that have troubled leaders in American society, as well as professional educators, its purpose will have been achieved.
