Growth of Adult Education Expands Beyond Colleges
The United States sees more adults studying outside traditional colleges, totaling over 3,000,000. Workers, high school graduates, and others pursue education after hours via correspondence, public libraries, or university extension. The Carnegie Foundation surveys the field, leading to five volumes and a new clearinghouse at 41 East 42nd Street, New York, forming the American Association of Adult Education with European ties.
