Furthermore, unaware of the formulations of curriculum workers like Miel (1946), this reform movement floundered on the shoals of individual school organizations within school systems. The possible loss to the curriculum of many of the reforms' major elements can only be known as tragic (Davis 1968). Further, historical accounts of these curriculum projects, their origins, assumptions, design, and components, simply do not exist except as cursory and superficial descriptions. We must have more substantial studies.
