      ab: The article presents information about school scheduling by computers. In some schools, perhaps most, the schedule dominates the students and teachers it is presumably designed to serve. In a minority of schools, happily on the increase, the schedule reflects fresh efforts to enliven and individualize education. Until recently, it was widely assumed that the actual building of a master schedule, involving so many variables and calling for so many administrative decisions, was far too complex and subtle for automation. Computers had proved themselves invaluable for all kinds of routine data processing in schools, but most people discounted the feasibility of programming the intricacies of a master schedule. Experimenters, nevertheless, persisted in the belief that scheduling could be automated. Today, the experimental results are coming in. One successful program which harnesses a large digital computer to school scheduling is the Generalized Academic Simulation Programs for short and for memorability.
