Federal Aid To Education: Some Economic Aspects Of Major Legislative Proposals For Support Of Primary And Secondary Schools In The United States, 1946-1958, Ray O. Werner

College of Business: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Consequently, the federal legislative proposals examined are only those which would have provided federal financial supportforprimaryandsecondary education in the United States.The …
