Abstract
During the early years of the thirties educational institutions were engrossed in devising ways of economizing. However, during this same period it became evident that the number and the plight of unemployed youth demanded a new kind of attention and relief. At this juncture the federal government entered the picture and organized relief agencies, the Civilian Conservation Corps and the National Youth Administration, which provided assistance for unemployed youth. During the latter years of the decade government assistance expanded to include the building of schools and the payment of wages to teachers, etc. Within the last few years the government has gone into sponsoring a program of vocational education. The past decade has also witnessed reform in the curriculums of the elementary and secondary schools. Most of such revision have been devoted to the field of social studies. Many of the changes in education during the past decade have resulted from the work of various committees and commissions which operated during the period.
