Abstract

Education Is Everybody’S Business! This declaration confronts the public on car-cards, billboards and television screens. The President of the United States urges citizens to act through their Parent-Teacher Association to improve the quality of the schools. Anyone’s pronouncement on any aspect of education will sooner or later find its way into print. But through the welter of publicity and propaganda can be heard the old warning: “What is everybody’s business is nobody’s business.” Reaction to an issue is not action on the problem.
