This book contains six essays organized under (1) Three Issues of Governance and (2) Three Issues of Curricula. In the first section, Richard A. Rossmiller identifies some of the trends that have led to widespread interest in full State funding, indicates some of the associated problems and issues, describes some ways of achieving full State funding, and examines some advantages and disadvantages; Kenneth H. Hansen points out the new role of leadership and service for State agencies that have rejected the tradition of authoritarian supervision and enforcement; and D. Gene Watson discusses alternatives for educational governance at State levels. In the second section, James F. Collins examines teacher centers and teacher renewal, Richard T. Salzer describes the growing public awareness of the care and education of the young child, and Bill Wesley Brown discusses the need to educate individuals as consumers in an industrial society and prepare them to enter the job market. Each of the six papers is accompanied by a bibliography. (WM)
