Education and World Tragedy

Harvard University Press has partnered with De Gruyter to make available for sale worldwide virtually all in-copyright HUP books that had become unavailable since their original publication. The 2,800 titles in the “e-ditions” program can be purchased individually as PDF eBooks or as hardcover reprint (“print-on-demand”) editions via the “Available from De Gruyter” link above. They are also available to institutions in ten separate subject-area packages that reflect the entire spectrum of the Press’s catalog. More about the E-ditions Program »

What have American schoolmen to offer in the present crisis of what we still call civilization? There is no more tremendous question before the United States. Howard Jones probes deeply into the proposals of contemporary educational theory, measures his findings against the scale of world tragedy, and calls for a major reorganization of educational patterns, particularly at the graduate school level. His vivid appreciation of the magnitude of the task which faces education and his fertile suggestions for its accomplishment will appeal to all public spirited Americans.
