- United States , 1966
United States, 1966. Very good. Some toning, short tears, minor wear.. A group of three (3) items related to education in the 1960s. They are published by vastly different entities (National Association of Manufacturers, American Cancer Society, and U.S. Dept. Of Labor), and have different aims. The first highlights the diversity of opportunities available, ranging from early education to administration. The second offers educators of all kinds tips on how to address cancer education, and the final item lists educator as one of the many fields in which mathematics is needed. It is interesting to see how education was viewed by society in the 1960s, versus today. The items include:
