Elementary School Objectives

The Mid-Century Committee on Outcomes in Elementary Education was assembled to describe for educations, test-makers, and interested citizens the measurable goals of instruction in American elementary schools. This 1953 report presents the specific objectives of elementary education as outlined by a distinguished group of consultants and evaluated by carefully selected critics.

Nolan C. Kearney was assistant superintendent for curriculum and research in the public schools of St. Paul, Minnesota.
