520 _aAs our American society becomes increasingly complex, our schools find their role more difficult to define. This is particularly true of elementary education which has long fulfilled the function of orienting and integrating the youngest members of society into community life.

Rapidly changing modes of existence have taxed our flexibility in adjusting without social dislocation to changes necessitated in living.
