The History of the History of American Education, 1900-1976: The Uses of the Past
Cohen, Sol
Harvard Educational Review, 46, 3, 298-330, Aug 76
Argues that a rich and controversial chapter in the history of the history of education has been forgotten in the zeal to get on with the "new" history. Contends that historians need to come to terms with the struggles, primarily in the 1930s and 1940s, between those who would make the field purely functional and those who would make it an academic discipline.
