This reprint of a classic work on the founding and early years of the Progressive Park School in Buffalo, New York (1912ó1928), recounts the work of Mary Hammett Louis, a former student of Dewey who was profoundly influenced by him. She built upon his theories to create a highly personalized atmosphere and curriculum that responded to the interests of the children. First published by MacMillan in 1929, this edited edition contains a new Introduction by Eugene F. Provenzo, Jr. and Therese M. Provenzo.
