Item — Box: 27, Folder: 10

Identifier: CAC_CC_047_3_27_10_0001

Scope and Contents

The text discusses the impact of inflation on higher education and the debate over federal aid to elementary and secondary education. Proponents argue that federal aid is necessary to reduce inequalities in educational opportunities and promote economic and social benefits, while opponents believe education should be controlled locally and fear federal control and standardized education. The author suggests that increased financial resources for education can be obtained within the states themselves and that the federal government could contribute to educational progress through existing channels.
