Very little, if any research has been made in the state of Kansas. The problem Independent Study will be studied as to the need for independent study, organized efforts being made to meet the need, and individual attempts being made to meet the need. Investigations have been made to find general information on the subject from the following sources: (1) Independent study, and its relative merits from a national viewpoint, College of Wooster, Ohio, and research done by the faculty in that college. (2) To ascertain the general value of independent study. (3) College and high- school drop- outs, and what they do later in independent study to further their education.
