DIRECTORY OF PUBLISHERS List of Publishers and Addresses 10 I INTRODUCTION The Curriculum Revision Committees and associated groups have been working for several years to develop and recommend to the schools of Georgia a curriculum which will integrate more effectively with the life interests and activities of our people. For years our educational work was in danger of becoming handicapped by close adherence to definitely compartmentalized units of subject matter. One of the most notable achievements of the curriculum revision program was to propose a curriculum which is definitely integrated with real life experiences. In compliance with this proposal our curriculum becomes functional in the areas of living common to actual experience. Subject matter as such will have no part except as it functions in actual experience. Moreover, the seven major areas of living, embracing the scope of the curriculum, are persistent in experience, making it possible to set up instructional procedures which are continuous from the kindergarten to adulthood. These areas of living include the * following: 1. Maintaining Physical, Mental and Emotional Health. 2. Earning a Living. 3. Performing the Responsibilities of Citizenship. 4. Utilizing and Controlling the Natural Environment for Individual and Social Needs. 5. Receiving and Transmitting Ideas, and Transporting Persons and Commodities. 6. Expressing Aesthetic and Spiritual Impulses. 7. Utilizing Education as a Means of Acquiring and Transmitting the Social Heritage and as an Agency for Conserving and Improving Human and Material Resources. Except for a set of carefully chosen basic texts to serve as guides in the unification of tool experiences, the content of the new curriculum is to be drawn from life and in proportion to the interests and needs of pupils. It is expected that work in the classroom will grow out of living needs of pupils and will enlist their efforts in the centers of interest suggested for the scope of the curriculum. To the end that teachers may be supplied with a wide range *Georgia Program for the Improvem.ent of Instruction, Guide to Curriculum Improvement, 1937, p. 36. 7 of materials relating to these areas of living, committees were appointed and for several months these groups have studied the materials available on their respective problems and are preparing guides for schools in order that materials related to the various areas may be made available for use. Further assistance from the state is anticipated in the form of money which may be spent on publications to supplement the basic texts and supply library materials. The tendency to organize instruction around basic functional activities may thus be definitely accelerated by a wide range of enriched reading material now available through public aid. It is with this in mind that the Committee on Transportation and Communication has prepared this bulletin. The selections have been made on the basis of interest, application to the problems of the curriculum, and availability. No discrimination has been made in terms of cost. It is felt that each purchaser will include some books in each of sever.al price ranges. The variations are such as to appeal either to the limited or the generous budget. Generally titles are listed alphabetically by author. The annotation, in many cases taken from the publisher's guide or catalogue, is intended to furnish information regarding the nature of the work and such mechanical features as are needed to complete the description. For convenience a title index is included at the ends of Part I and Part II. In each case the price indicated is the list price. Statements from publishers indicate that books bought in quantities or for library use are subject to discounts varying from 15 % to 25 % f.o.b. Before completing an order, inquiry should be made regarding the disc~unt prices. The committee felt it inadvisable to state these since they vary wi~h the size of the purchase and are frequently subject to change. On especially large orders it is indicated that liberal discounts are available. In these cases the approximate size of the order should be stated and request made for best prices available. The committee wishes to acknowledge definite obligations to the following publishers, all of whom were generous in their assistance .and in making available to the committee examination copies of their books, and in preparing lists and descriptions. 8 Allyn and Bacon, Atlanta, Ga.
