Is the Past Irrelevant?
Banowsky, William S.
NASSP Bulletin, 56, 364, 10-16, May 72
Author sees a cultish emphasis on the new and the now" sweeping this country and believes we must avoid the cut-flower syndrome of being beautiful but rootless by not severing ties with the past. History is germane and so are many areas of the high school curriculum now under attack for their irrelevance. (Editor/RB)
