Abstract
The Utah State University has had a university controlled elementary teacher education laboratory school since 1928. In that year, the University, then the Utah Agricultural College, leased the Whittier School from the Logan City Board of Education. The Whittier continued to be used until the summer of 1957 when the newly constructed Edith Bowen Laboratory School became the center of elementary teacher education.
Staff members in the Department of Education and other interested people have repeatedly asked questions about the Laboratory School. They have desired to know what factors prepared the way and stimulated its establishment. They have sought to understand its relationship with the Logan City School District and with the rest of the University. They have asked how the school has been affected by national trends in teacher education or nationally prominent educators who have taught on this campus or in other universities attended by the Laboratory School personnel. What has been the guiding philosophy at the School, and what has been its role in teacher education at the University? Other questions have dealt with the personnel, the elementary students and their curriculum, finance and the physical facilities.
