HE Commsttee on Currrculum Planning and Development and the Executive Committee of the National Association of Secondary-School Principals and the Executive Committee of the Illinois Curriculum Program collaborated with Professors Harold C. Hand and Charles W. Sanford in preparing an analysis of the article, "Aimlessness in Education," and the address on "Anti-Intellectualism in the Schools: A Challenge to Scholars," both by Professor Arthur E. Bestor, Jr. This analysis is presented in the article, "A Scholar's Documents," which appeared in the May 1953 issue of THE BULLETIN of the National Association of Secondary- School Principals; the committees reaffirm their support of "A Scholar's Documents." The three committees named above commend Professors Hand and Sanford for the thorough manner in which they have exposed the unfair and distorted attacks made on public secondary education by Professor Bestor. An analysis of Professor Bestor's "Reply" is presented below.
