Rutkowski, Edward, Ed.
Journal of Midwest History of Education Society, v4 1976
The proceedings papers include topics on important historical figures, the social and philosophical implications of immigrants and assimilation, the status of women, and the role of education. The two papers in the Editor's Supplement cover the junior high school movement and the establishment of a Michigan state school. "Jane Addams, the Hull House, and the Education of the Immigrants" (M. M. Krug) relates Addams' work to combat exploitation of the immigrants, her ideas on cultural pluralism, and her philosophy of education. "The St. Louis Sparkplug: Henry C. Brokmeyer" (H. B. Dunkel) details Brokmeyer's life, his adoption of Hegelian theories, and his political activities and describes his disciplines. "Centennial Celebration of a Persistent Journal" (R. E. Belding) describes the history of the Journal of Education. "School Governance by Women: The Stepping Stone To Political Participation" (K. H. Kamin) relates women's struggles to gain seats on male-dominated school boards, women's impact on the school systems and teachers, and the effect that these actions had on the movement for universal women suffrage. "Two Treatments of Cultural Difference: Dewey on Nationalism and Kallen on Pluralism" (J. Wissot) reviews John Dewey's views on assimilation and concern about Horace Kallen's position on cultural pluralism. "Harold Rugg: Educator In Search for the Authentic Gesture" (R. V. Bullough, Jr.) describes Rugg's ideas on the condition and destiny of the United States and the nature of an education capable of meeting the U.S. challenge and playing a crucial role in shaping its destiny. "The Junior High School: A Product of Reform Values, 1890-1920" (W. R. Stephens) traces the history of the inception of junior high schools and argues that they are a result of the progressive educational reform movement. "The 'Delicate Duty' of Child Saving: Coldwater, Michigan 1871-1896," (R. S. Patterson; P. Rooke) describes the reform movement to provide state supported educational institutions for the teaching of moral values and physical training to poverty stricken children. The program, the business meeting's minutes, and the attendees list are included. (DJC)
