Book Review

Schooled to Work: Vocationalism and the American Curriculum, 1876–1946. By Herbert M. Kliebard. (New York: Teachers College Press, 1999. xx, 292 pp. Cloth, $56.00, ISBN 0-8077-3867-0. Paper, $22.95, ISBN 0-8077-3866-2.)

Herbert M. Kliebard of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, one of the leading historians of the American school curriculum, focuses in Schooled to Work on the development of vocational education as a distinct concern of American public schools. This well-researched and well-written book deserves the attention not only of historians of education but also of those interested in the history of childhood and, more important, those interested more generally in the development of American industrial society during the period he addresses. It is a book informed by a long career of research and thinking about the relationships between curricular reform and development and how they relate to the larger social context within which they take place. . . .
