These are alphabetically classified and arranged by states, with information in each instance important to parents and prospective students as well as to guidance counselors. A special feature of the directory is the editorial supplementing and immediately following the publisher's description of many of the institutions. These editorials set forth the distinctive advantages of the respective schools, thus enabling the parent, student, and counselor to find the institution most nearly meeting individual requirements. A section is also devoted to a directory of publishers, business firms, and agencies which supply the needs of schools and colleges, classified by products supplied. BREWTON, J. E. and S.
