The Educational Program Of The Civilian Conservation Corps, James Ensign Britton

Master's Theses

Federal participation in American public school education began with the public school land grants of 1785. The succeeding years saw many extensions of federal aid to education, e.g., research conferences with state and local edu- cation officials with the purpose of bringing to their attention the problems of youth and to plan attacks on these problems, and publishing and distributing reports of educational accomplishments of states and localities. But, throughout this period, extending until 1933, the central government's relation to education was clear. Public education was regarded as a state prerogative. What broad controls the Federal Government exercised over certain …
