| Summary |
"The author argues that school reformers around the turn of the twentieth century in the United States won support by highlighting the link between educational development and national success. These efforts transformed both the content of classroom lessons and perceptions of what schools could do, leaving a mixed legacy for educators and future generations of reformers"-- Provided by publisher. |
