James Michener and the Historical Future of Social Studies.
Shaver, James P.
Social Education, v59 n7 p446-50 Nov-Dec 1995
Reviews author James A. Michener's role in the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) and contends that his 1939 predictions for social studies should be assessed in present-day context. Concludes that the history of social studies fails to support Michener's optimistic appraisal of its future. (CFR)
