Synopsis

Rethinking education for a modern democracy

This book gathers convocation talks and essays that argue for broad, lifelong learning and stronger support for teachers, libraries, and community schools. It presents a vision where education expands beyond classrooms to enliven daily life and civic participation.

The chapters frame how libraries fuel progressive education, how schools can serve as social centers, and how adult learning fits into a thriving city. They emphasize the teacher’s central role, fair pay, and professional training as foundations for a strong republic.
  • Understand why public libraries and the reading public matter to education and democracy.
  • Explore ideas for extending school use to evenings, adult education, and community programs.
  • See arguments for investing in teachers, salaries, and career support to attract the best minds.
  • Learn how the school building can become a social and cultural hub for all ages.
Ideal for readers interested in the history of American education, public policy, and the link between knowledge, work, and citizenship.
