The Child The Parent And The State

by James Bryant Conant

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

[Jonathan-David Jackson · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book promises to explore the relationship between the child, the parent, and the state. It does not. It says a few vague and quick things about the Soviet Union and the changing world and how we all have to face that and do our part, but really it's treatment of the titular subject takes about 5 or 6 pages total. The rest is just a not very interesting or well-presented account of a few changes in American education between 1905 and 1930 and some talk about the differences between the Soviet and American education systems. I was disappointed by this book; it is not worth your money or your time.
