Hardcover. Condition: Very Good-. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. This book is in Very Good- condition and was issued without a dust jacket. The book and its contents are in generally clean, bright condition. There is rubbing and wear to the spine ends and corners of the book covers and a chip to the bottom spine end of the book cove…rs. The text pages are clean and bright. The endpapers have some beginning toning. "This is not a writing, but conversation. It is condensed from a stenographic transcript taken down as uttered, and was the concluding talk of a series given in March and April, 1939, at Adelphi College, Garden City, Long Island. The term Passivity is employed with some mischief as "Activity Programs" have become a fetich among progressive educators." (from the book).
