Description The purpose of this study then, was to make a survey of the Navajo maIe students of Intermountain School to determine what they thought their problems were and to find out, if possible, why these problems occur. Finally, it was hoped the results of this study would give the school a better understanding of the student and his problems. Curriculum and guidance services may then be adjusted to help the boy more effectively during this transition period. It is recognized that Intermountain School can only partially prepare the student for assimilation into a cosmopolitan society away from school and the reservation. There are many adjustments that must be made as they go from their reservation home to school and from school to a strange city. A look at these people in their native environment, and then a look at the school should give a better understanding of problems where adjustments may be necessary.
