Education in the Forming of American Society: Needs and Opportunities for Study

by Bernard Bailyn

Overview

In a pungent revision of the professional educator's school of history, Bailyn traces the cultural context of education in early American society and the evolution of educational standards in the colonies. His analysis ranges beyond formal education to encompass such vital social determinants as the family, apprenticeship, and organized religion.
