Baylor University education professors introduce 30 primary readings, in chronological order, to facilitate the recommendation to "go to the sources." They start with essays on what children should learn by such well-known 17th and 18th century US reformers /statesmen as William Penn, Cotton Mather, and Thomas Jefferson. Selections from the 19th century include women's voices, e.g., Catherine Beecher, on improving education for females. John Dewey, Jane Addams, and W.E.B. DuBois are among the Progressive era educational reformers represented. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
