This book's purpose is to enable educational researchers to make better use of the huge longitudinal and cross-sectional data files that are now readily available. Of value to experienced researchers and undergraduates alike, the book focuses primarily on the planning and design of research rather than implementation of data base information. Its chapters address a variety of vital questions including: * What variables are present in each of the major national data bases? * What are the problems and dangers in making comparisons across data bases? * What factors invalidate comparisons of test scores across data bases? * In what ways can data from certain data bases be physically merged with data from other data bases? This text clearly demonstrates what can be done with large national data bases and, perhaps equally important, what cannot be done -- or done only if certain precautions are taken.

This statistical publication is based upon data collected in 1968-69 in order to establish a universe of public and nonpublic elementary and secondary schools. We are issuing this publication in order to answer consistently the needs of many agencies and organizations which request data on individual public and nonpublic schools. These requests vary from presidential task forces and congressional committees to business organizations and individuals making educational projections, advising on school facilities, and otherwise interested in improving American education. There is no other collective source of this information in such detail. For their fine cooperation in supplying the basic information included in the tables presented herein, we are indebted to State and local public school officials and nonpublic school administrators in the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas.
