What can be said now at the end of the Eight-Year Study? What has been learned through this experience? Have the hopes and expectations of those who inaugurated the project been fulfilled?
It should be recalled that the Commission had two major purposes:
1. To establish a relationship between school and college that would permit and encourage reconstruction in the secondary school.
2. To find, through exploration and experimentation , how the high school in the United States can serve youth more effectively.
Let us consider now the findings of the Study in the realm of school and college relations. The second part of this chapter presents conclusions based upon the experiences of the schools in their attempts to achieve the second major purpose: better service to American youth.
