How the Curricula of the Special Navajo Programs Meet the Needs of the Students at the Intermountain School in Regard to Their Use of Alcoholic Beverages

How effective are the Special Navajo Programs in meeting the needs of the students at the Intermountain School with regard to their use of alcoholic beverages? Teacher committees detailed to review, evaluate, and revise the goals and curriculum guides for the Special Navajo Program need up to date, objective information to serve as a framework of reference in their assignments. The need for this type of information has been felt and sorely missed in evaluating many areas of the Special Program curriculum. This study deals with only one such area: drinking. During the course of this study considerable interest in the findings and in the general subject of drinking by the students has been evidenced. Since it is hoped that this study will be of some practical use, and will be used, a considerable amount of the material and references included in the study have been so included for the benefit of the readers. Requests for information included in this study have come from sources both in and out of the Bureau of Indian Affairs
