Readers,
LIFE magazine was a wonderful window to the World for the readers of its time. Like National Geographic, one could look at the photos and understand a little bit more about a certain place and time. The arrival of a new issue would fill a long evening with dreams of travel to far off cities or just down the street.
Now, a few clicks on Google takes a visitor around the world or back in time. LIFE on Google just extends the reach a bit more.
The magazine has ended, but images continue to help us understand more about places and times. I've compiled some charts of education data for our 50 United States and other countries at:

These charts tell a story of a country struggling to prepare it's youth to lead into the future. You are welcome to share them with colleagues interested in the state of education in America and a desire to regain our competitive strength as a nation.
