Whatever Happened, Indeed!

Abbott L. Ferriss

Journal of Public Policy, 1989, vol. 9, issue 4, 413-417

Abstract: We're told a story of how American Indians taught their young to swim: They tied a rope around the youngster and tossed him in the water. Social indicators were tossed into the water without the rope! Without the rope of adequate Federal or private funds for support, social indicators were forced to learn to swim. And swim, they did.
