This pictorial report gives a clearer understanding, to both school people and the lay public, of the total public education program of South Carolina. No effort was made to do a comparative study of school situations which might be labelled "good" and those which might not be called "good." It is not intended to give the impression that every elementary school, every high school, or every school system in this State has in its program every feature pictured in this book. What was done is to collect some of the good things, some of the promising practices, and have made of them a composite picture which we have called THE GOOD SCHOOL.
