Printed in Greqf Briiain by Butler & Tanner. Ltd., Frome onJ LtmJon TO MY WIFE Whose extensive readings in the literature of biology, psychology, genetics and heredity have alone made this book possible, and whose eyes have for many years largely taken the place of my own, this effort to think about things, instead, of fictions, wish-fancies and symbols of things, is affectionately dedicated. PREFACE AM indebted in many ways to many men either I through their books or public lectures or through personal letters, stray remarks and casual observa­ tions, or else through long continued table talks, sometimes extended into grey morning hours, those priceless hours when men think in each other's pres­ ence aloud. In some or all these respects I am indebted to Frederick Adams Woods, Professor Edward L.

East, Professor G. T. W. Patrick, Professor F. C. S. Shiller, Alleyne Ireland, Judge Harry Olson, Professor Franklin H. Giddings and Professor William MacDougal. Deeper, however, than to anyone else, perhaps, is my debt to my boyhood teacher in ethics and philosophy, the late Doctor Daniel W. Fisher, Presi­ dent of Hanover College, whom, although his immense scholarship was largely that of a past age of thought, I still regard with reverence as having been one of the great teachers of the world.

  • Crowd Psychology and American Culture, 1890-1940
    "Mental Epidemics": Crowd Psychology and American Culture, 1890-1940 Eugene E. Leach In 1900, disillusioned with high-powered newspaper work and weary of cities, progressive journalist Ray Stannard Baker quit New York and fled to Arizona. Going west to find himself was a gesture of affiliation sanctified by both national myth and his family folklore of pioneer stock ancestry and his father's move west to start over after failing in business. But the Arizona deserts had no power to heal him. In his memoirs he recounted a moment of reckoning with the omnipotence of crowds: he could not forget the congestion that lay just beyond the horizon. For better or worse, to him America was epitomized by suffocating New York: What a different world I knew from that of my ancestors! They had the wilderness, I had crowds. I found teeming, josding, restless cities; I found immense smoking, roaring industries; I found a labyrinth of tangled communication. I found hugeness and evil.1 Baker decided that learning to navigate this world of crowds would be "the prime test" of the modern citizen. E. A. Ross had a grimmer and more intellectualized encounter with crowds. In 1894, he jotted down "thirty-three distinct means by which society controls its members" in a list that became twenty American Journal of Sociology articles and the popular book Social Control (1901).2 Ross' work grew from his assumption, shared with Frederick Jackson Turner, that the closing of the frontier would 0026-3079/92/3301 -005$ 1.50/0 5 inaugurate a difficult new epoch for America.

  • John Dewey, Everett Dean Martin, and Reflective Thinking
    THE PHILOSOPHER AND THE LECTURER: JOHN DEWEY, EVEREtt DEAN MARTIN, AND REFLECTIVE THINKING Michael Day and Clifford P. Harbour ABSTRACT Adult education scholars have not yet examined the connections between the philosopher, John Dewey, and the lecturer on adult education, Everett Dean Martin. These scholars generally portray Dewey as indifferent to their field. However, Dewey’s correspondence with a New York newspaper editor in 1928, recommending Martin’s The Meaning of Liberal Education, raises interest- ing questions about these two men and their interest both in the meaning of adult education and in reflective thinking. For Dewey and Martin the value of education engaged in by adults was not merely voluntary participation in an activity but meaningful growth aided by reflection. This study examines the connection between these two figures and explains why Martin’s views may have resonated with Dewey and how they shared critical values pertain- ing to adult education. In March 1928, John Dewey responded to a request from Marie Meloney, editor of the New York Herald-Tribune Sunday Magazine, and offered his recommenda- tions on recently published texts on education. Dewey wrote, “I think the best ed- ucational books of recent publication are Bode, Modern Educational Theories . Kilpatrick, Education for a Changing Civilization . & Martin, The Meaning of a Liberal Education”.1 This was not the first time Dewey recommended Everett Dean Martin’s book. In 1927, the editors of the Journal of the National Education Associa- tion approached Dewey and asked, “What book have you recently found especially worthwhile? Something that you have read easily, eagerly, and with profit—either in the field of education or out of it.”2 Dewey identified two books; one of them was Martin’s The Meaning of a Liberal Education.

Abstract: Philosophy of education’s academic literature portrays the field as being in decline over the past half century, especially in the once preeminent citadel of initial teacher preparation programs. This decline prompts the broad problem of the proper place of philosophy in teacher preparation. I therefore set out to explain why (in part) this decline has occurred in the English language field by connecting, from the 19th century to the present, primarily in the United States and Britain, but also Canada, two histories: (1) the origins and development of the field of philosophy of education itself, and (2) the institutional history of teacher preparation programs, tracing each from their origins in normal schools and summer seminars, to modern faculties of education.

  • TEACHERS AFFECT ETERNITY a Very Good Friend of the Overstreets Was Professor Abraham H
    CHAPTER EIGHT SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS: TEACHERS AFFECT ETERNITY A very good friend of the Overstreets was Professor Abraham H. Maslow who provided the world with a theory of human motivation that has become extremely popular in psychological areas of research. Maslow described a hierarchy of needs that move from physiological needs to safety needs to belonging and love needs to esteem needs to the ultimate need for self- actualization. If one is to be ultimately at peace with oneself “what a man can be, he must be.”1 Harry and Bonaro Overstreet appear to be two people who fit the description of becoming everything that they were capable of becoming. Their accomplishments in the fields of philosophy, psychology, adult education, mental health, poetry, and political ideology were astounding. Their contribution in writing and lectures were awesome. One suspects that Professor Maslow would agree as he addressed one article on “Science and Self-Actualization” in July 1965 “For the Overstreets with all my admiration.”2 In his book, Motivation and Personality, Maslow quoted freely from The Mature Mind in describing the concept of love in self-actualizing people. He noted that Overstreet described love of a person, not as possession but as an affirmation of that person’s right to his unique being.3 When the definitive history of the adult education movement in the United States is written, the names of Harry and Bonaro Overstreet should loom large in describing the vitality of the movement in the years following World War I. Their influence as authors and teachers stand alongside other famous names in the field: Eduard Lindeman, Everett Dean Martin, Lyman Bryson, Alvin Johnson, Cyril Houle and Malcolm Knowles.
