Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines a transformation in the relationship between education and the state. The author, an academic historian, studies how the American public school system transitioned from a decentralized network of loosely affiliated local boards to a more centralized, state-driven model. In tracing the trajectory of this shift, the book makes the case for viewing the rise of state educational departments and the expansion of their authority as an inevitable and necessary outcome of state aid to schools. The author examines the educational climate in the United States from the founding of the Republic through to the twentieth century, highlighting both the changing role of state government in education and the impact of its evolving authority on local school boards. This book is an essential resource for scholars interested in the American education system, as well as those interested in the evolution of state power and local control.
