The transformation of the school; progressivism in American education, 1876-1957 by Lawrence Cremin

This was one of the textbooks assigned by Wayne Urgan in 1976 when I was in his History of Education class at Georgia State University. It is an outstanding introduction to American education, dropping the reader into the middle of the relations between business and education, and the point of transfer from small rural and small town schools to large city schools. It starts with a reference to Page
s The Forum and the Progressives who would dominiate the debate for the next 20 years.It is an show more essential part of any American educator's basic library, not just those specializing in history of education. In fact it is vital to the current classroom teacher of today. show less
