Abstract

The purposes of this study were to determine, through the use of a questionnaire: (1) the awareness and attitudes of administrators concerning the State's requirement for the teaching of alcohol education; (2) the administrator's opinion of the adequacy of teacher-training institutions in preparing teachers to conduct the instruction of alcohol education; (3) the time allotment and placement of alcohol education in the individual school programs; (4) the administrator's evaluation of the adequacy of textbooks in their coverage of information about alcohol; (5) the degree to which the individual schools are helping their teachers prepare this part of the curriculum; and (6) the administrator's awareness of the functions of the State Board of Alcoholism for its assistance with published materials and instructional aids to the school systems.

lt is the intent of the writer to analyze the returns and to make recommendations to the administrators and the State Board of 5 Alcoholism for the improvement of instruction in alcohol education. lt is not the intent of this study to be concerned with the use or abuse of alcohol nor to explore the subject-matter content used in various high schools, but rather to determine the extent to which the administrators are fulfilling their obligation in this area.
