Some Implications of the Eight-Year Study for Secondary Education

Abstract

This article is written by one not only as chairman of The Pro gressive Education Association's Commission on the Relation of School and College, but also as one until recently a secondary-school princi pal, deeply conscious of his mistakes and of his lack of insight and vision in the work he tried to do. He writes of the challenge which American secondary-school principals must answer, but does so with sympathetio understanding of the principal, the difficulties of his task, and with full recognition of his great achievements.
