Beschreibung

viii, 27 pp. 8vo. First published in 1918, this extremely important document set the tone for education in the United States, reversing the work of the 1893 commission. [Kingsley, the author] "skillfully blended themes of social efficiency and democracy into a coherent world view. Issued during World War I, Kingsley's report received enormous publicity and became the measure by which leading professional educators judged the success and efficiency of their schools. .Economic efficiency and democracy alike demanded that schools cease regarding knowledge as 'an end in itself' and promote broader social goals and practical outcomes," (William J. Reese, America's Public Schools, pp. 191-192).
