This is the ninth volume of the Report of the American Historical Association Commission on the Social Studies in the Schools. As the title indicates, it deals with the social background of American education from the beginnings of national organization and activity.—The author has long been interested in American education and has become one of the recognized leaders in this field of study. He has concerned himself primarily with the relations of school and society, not only the actual operation of those relations as studied in educational sociology, but also the underlying thought and ideas involved in those relations as dealt with in educational philosophy. The Commission, of which he has been a member since its formation, has profited greatly from his knowledge and interest in both of these fields.
