This book examines the field of education in the early 1900s, particularly focusing on curriculum design. The author argues that the curriculum, like any other structure, must serve a purpose. In this case, the purpose is two-fold: unifying the educational system and serving as a teaching guide. The author believes that this guide should be prescriptive in its requirements for fundamental subjects, but flexible in its details and methods, leaving room for teacher and student agency. As it is a collaborative effort that must unify, the author stresses the importance of a balance in perspectives throughout, ensuring a holistic approach that takes into account the needs of all students. The book advocates for equity, believing that all children deserve equal access to quality education opportunities, regardless of their background. Finally, it underscores the value of reading, with a particular emphasis on developing a genuine love for literature. By providing a basis for teachers and education policymakers to create meaningful curricula, this analysis offers insights into the significance of tailoring education to the needs of students and society, encouraging them to reach their full potential.

Excerpt from What Children Study and Why a Discussion of Educational Values, in the Elementary Course of Study
Why is the course of study in use in our elementary schools constituted as it is? Why are reading, spelling, arithmetic, grammar, and history taught the children, rather than knitting and shooting and guiding automobiles?
What particular gift has each of the conventional school studies to bestow upon the children, and hence upon society, as justification for its place in the curriculum and as compensation for the labor, the tears, the time of the students, and the care, the effort, and the financial expenditures of the community?
These are questions that should be answered by teachers, parents, and public officials, if the best results are to be obtained from the schools. But most teachers take the course of study handed to them from above and teach it perfunctorily, without much serious consideration of its reason for being or for its motive. Most parents accept the courses forced upon their children, more or less willingly, but with the vaguest notions of their meaning or motive. Most school officials accept the conventional curriculum inherited from the past and used by their neighbors and pass it on to their own schools, taking for granted that it is right.
In this book no attempt is made to trace the history of the curriculum.
