Abstract	Based on the first survey of adult education in the public school system to be conducted by the U.S. Office of Education since 1958, the findings reported here show that adult education is growing faster than any other level of education and that there are more students in public adult education (defined here to include elementary and secondary schools and public community and junior colleges) than in higher education. An introductory chapter provides notes on the use of rankings and of rank-difference correlations in the survey in relationship to earlier State-by-State universe studies. Chapter 2 summarizes the findings of past surveys, which were selected to be pertinent to the data collected and to provide a context that would serve as a guide to understanding the current statistics, particularly in helping to detect trends. Chapter 3 presents description of survey design, administration, and analysis involving statistics on the number of full-time and part-time students and instructors within each State and territory. Chapter 4 presents the data and draws tentative conclusions and hypotheses, noting trends and observations about program sponsors, enrollments, instructional staff, ration of enrollment to staff, and purposes of programs. Chapter 5 summarizes the whole, and chapter 6 presents conclusions on the state of public adult education with thoughts on developments for the future and policy decisions required. (JT)
