LOS ANGELES, CALIF., May 6, 1963. DEAR SENATOR MORSE: I wish to go on record as strongly opposed to H.R. 3000 which would turn over control of our Nation's education system to the Federal Government.

The basic problem is a financial one, therefore, I urge you to consider Senator Goldwater's education bill which would provide taxpayers with enough tas credit to meet the school needs in his own State. This is a sound bill and costs only a fraction of the administration's bill. It should be passed by Congress. Respectfully yours,

HELEN R. STOWELL

SANTA MONICA, CALIF., Monday.

Senator WAYNE MORSE,
Senate Office Building,

Washington, D.C.

DEAR SIR: We think the bill introduced by Senator Goldwater on home rule education was a better answer to Federal aid to education.

We are against the education bill, H.R. 3000, that gives the Federal Government control over the Nation's education system.

Please do what you can to help the Senator Goldwater education bill.
Respectfully yours,

MRS. VAN BUSKIRK.

CINCINNATI, OHIO, May 29, 1963.

Hon. WAYNE MORSE,

Chairman, Subcommittee on Education,

U.S. Senate, Washington, D.C.

SIR: Enclosed you will find a copy of the resolution adopted by the Ohio Council for the Social Studies at its annual meeting on May 4, 1963, in Columbus. Ohio. This resolution represents the thinking and conviction of its 707 members These members are persons who are working in the area of social studies in public, private, and parochial elementary and secondary schools of all parts of the State of Ohio as well as some who are teaching in this subject area in the colleges and universities in Ohio.

It is the concern of the members of this council that serious consideration be given the Educational Improvement Act and that the necessary measures be taken to make provision for its passage.

Very truly yours,

HELEN YEAGER,

President, Ohio Council for the Social Studies.

RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE OHIO COUNCIL FOR THE SOCIAL STUDIES at Its ANNUAL MEETING ON SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1963

Whereas the ideals and aspirations of a free society and its democratic institu tions depend on an educational program that is concerned with the entire breadth and depth of human experience; and

Whereas the extension of knowledge of the social sciences is essential to the making of wise decisions relative to the most serious issues of our time; and Whereas the inclusion of opportunities for support of the social sciences in the National Educational Improvement Act of 1963 would help to restore and maintain a balance among the basic academic areas of the curriculum: Therefore be it

Resolved, That the membership of the Ohio Council for the Social Studies strongly support the passage of the National Educational Improvement Act of 1963 as expressed in House bill No. 3000 and Senate bill No. 580; and be it further Resolved, That copies of this resolution be sent to the chairman of the appropriate congressional committees and committee members so that they know the feeling of the Ohio Council for the Social Studies concerning the importance of

FOREWORD

This digest is a compilation of the more significant

statistical material available in the Office of Education on the American educational system. It contains information on a variety of subjects within the broad field of educational statistics, including schools, enrollments, teachers, graduates, educational attainment, finances, and Federal programs in the field of education. It should prove useful to persons interested in the nature and scope of education in the United States, and in particular to those individuals who are concerned with the formu lation and conduct of educational policy.

The digest is divided into four major parts: (1) All levels of education, (2) elementary and secondary education, (3) higher education, and (4) Federal programs of education. Certain criteria were used in selecting the statistics to be incorporated in each part: for example, the data were required to be nationwide in scope and of current interest and value. The latest tabulations available in each series were used, even though some of these statistics have not yet appeared in a formal publication. Series going back ten years or more have also been employed in many instances in order to provide a certain amount of historical background. Although most of the data were transcribed directly from original sources, they were sometimes regrouped or even re
