For a period of more than 25 years, this series of publications has provided an authoritative and reasonably comprehensive source of information about Federal activities in education. The present bulletin, Federal Funds for Education, 1958-59 and 1959-60, is the 15th in the series. It describes educational programs supported by the Federal Government and gives tabular summaries of the Federal funds provided. Compilations of amounts for the individual States in the 1958-59 and, if available, for the 1958-60 school years are presented. Summary tables reporting program amounts over a 10-year period are also included to show trends in Federal support. The figures indicate annual amounts for the separate programs; the extent that educational activities are supported in the separate Federal departments, agencies, or offices, and the Government-wide participation in supporting education services throughout the United States. The value of this kind of information has recently been emphasized in arrangements between the National Science Foundation and the Office of Education for a further analysis of data on Federal funds for education. An index is provided. (Contains 70 tables. Individual chapters contain footnotes.) [Due to its size, this volume has been processed as two separate parts. The first part (ED544040), includes the foreword through Chapter IV. The second part (ED544041), includes Chapter V through the index. The cover page and table of contents are repeated in the second part. Best copy available has been provided.]
