Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fair. Presumed First Edition, First printing. 202, [4] pages. DJ torn and chipped at back. Preface by Lyndon B. Johnson. Introduction by Harold Howe II, U.S. Commissioner of Education. Among the contributors were: Ralph Tyler, John Brademas, Walter Reuther, Allison Davis, Sidney Marsland, Robert Slaughter, Harold Gores, Esther Raushenbush, Earl McGrath, Richard Meeth, James Perkins, Thomas J. Watson, Jr., and Charles Frankel. Howe's 50-year career spanned education's broad range, from teacher to the federal government's top education post. He taught history at schools in New York and Massachusetts and served as a high school principal in Ohio and Massachusetts. In 1960 he became superintendent of schools in Scarsdale, N.Y., until 1964. As U.S. commissioner of education from 1965-68, Howe was charged with distributing federal funding to public schools under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, which provided financial support to nearly 27,000 school districts. "I had the job of setting up a system for doing something nobody had ever done before," recalled Howe in 2000. He also directed the federal government's participation in abolishing school segregation under the 1964 Civil Rights Act by providing federal funding to school districts that had proved they did not discriminate on the basis of race. Upon leaving the U.S. Office of Education, Howe became vice president at the Ford Foundation from 1971 to 1981. As vice president he created two major programs to support minorities in higher education, which resulted in a substantial increase in African-American and Hispanic Ph.D.'s, and supported projects in school finance reform. Howe joined the Harvard Graduate School of Education as a senior lecturer in 1982. During his time at the GSE, Howe played an influential role in developing and establishing programs to certify teachers, principals, and superintendents. In 1982 he played a major role in establishing the Principals' Center, which is dedicated to the professional and personal development of school leaders. He retired from the GSE in 1994. In 2000, the GSE named a student fellowship and chair in his honor. Former Dean Jerome T. Murphy said "Few individuals have had a greater impact on the beliefs and practices of American educators than Harold Howe II. Doc has thought deeply about education and the well-being of all children, and his sensible and passionate efforts in support of both have transformed the direction of schools and America's educational values.".
