Prophecy or Profession? George S. Counts and the Social Study of Education.
Lagemann, Ellen Condliffe
American Journal of Education, v100 n2 p137-65 Feb 1992
G. S. Counts' (1889-1974) perspective on education is more relevant today than a brief review of his controversial pamphlet "Dare the School Build a New Social Order?" suggests. Counts emphasized the broad social responsibility of the educator and the need for broad preparation in education as a social study. (SLD)
