This survey was developed to accumulate and interpret data pertaining to the current status of music, art, dance, and drama/theater education in U.S. public schools. Questionnaires were designed to secure four types of data: (1) demographic; (2) curricular; (3) adequacy of instructional materials; and (4) support for arts education. Findings were reported for small elementary schools (<550), large elementary schools (551+), small middle schools (<499), large middle schools (500+), small secondary schools (<999), and large secondary schools (1000+) in the areas of music, visual art, dance, and drama/theater. The document concludes with a comparison of the results between this and a similar survey that was conducted in 1962 by the National Education Association. The survey instruments are appended. (KM)
