520 _aThe elementary school at mid-century is subject to the impact of some extremely important influences. The recent growth in elementary school population, rapid changes in economic and social conditions, the accentuation of problems in our society such as mental health, continuing changes in home and family life, increasing knowledge of child growth and development_-factors such as these raise questions concerning the kind of education that is best for our children. Much has been said by educators concerning these matters, and much of what has been said is valuable. However, more attention has been given to implications for various specific phases of the elementary program than to providing a general overview of the program as a whole. It seems highly desirable to achieve such an overview if a sound relationship is to be achieved among the various parts of the program and a rounded education afforded children.
