Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

A problem which faces many school districts in the state of Iowa is the need of transporting students to and from school.

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Since the end of World War II there has been an increasing number of trips by the graduating classes of Iowa high schools. The present heavy emphasis on senior class trips is reflected in the vast amount of advertising literature school administrators receive concerning educational tours. The writer received during the 1956-1957 academic year fourteen brochures concerning various cities. The increased interest in such trips is also shown by the fact that one railroad carried 60,000 students on school trips in 1954, and another 50,000. Washington, D.C., has one-half million student visitors each spring, while Detroit has 2,000 visiting school …
