A Comparative Study of the Curricula in the Elementary Public Schools of Connecticut During the Periods 1838-1890 and 1890-1938
Abstract
Within the past fifteen years or more, in practically every State in the Union, the curriculum in the public elementary schools has been subjected to varying degrees of revision. This is the result of a "curriculum-revision I fad" which spread with rapidity throughout the country. The movement responsible for this state of affairs -- "Progressive Education" — has had far reaching effects, for its influence has pervaded every public school system in America, rural as well as urban.
