About This Item
Houghton MIfflin Company, 1958. Blue hardcover cloth binding has lightly bumped corners, a couple of interior pages wrinkled, ink mark ffep, else clean square and tight. 202 pages. Author examines the two mainstreams of American schooling and asks the question - if schools today (1958. no different than 2022) are really public, can they provide an education - which is a word that even educators cannot agree on! He sets up two straw schools with opposing methods for the discussion, and finally he shows what one community accomplished in changing its school to meet the demands of the parents and the capabilities of the students. A considered and constructive assessment.. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Very Good/No Jacket.
