Publisher's original pictorial cloth binding sturdy, spine and edges distinctly age-toned; outer and inner hinges strong; leaves a little shaken between pages 64 and 65 else contents clean and attractive, title-page excellent. An excellent copy that's now Mylar protected and housed in a custom slipcase. Dewey's first published work of length on education. A highly influential publication in its own right, it would also lay the foundation for his later work. In the lectures included in the initial publication, Dewey proposes a psychological, social, and political framework for progressive education. Notably, this includes collaborative practical experimentation as the central element of school work. He argues that the progressive approach is both an inevitable product of the Industrial Revolution and a natural fit with the psychology of children. A final chapter details some of the experiments done at the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools. Articles in the 1915 edition extended his argument with reprints of Dewey's work published in the Elementary School Record (Wikipedia). Uncommon in this condition. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 354
