An Oral History of Federal R&D in Education
Research news and Comment
Just the Facts, Please
This volume consists of ten essays, of which Kaestle is the sole author of three and coauthor of the remainder. In the first two chapters (part 1), Kaestle surveys the historiography of literacy and reading, a field that resembles a gigantic railroad station. Arriving on trains from various origination pointsancient, medieval, early-modern, and modern history-some historians have stayed in the station only long enough for a quick tour, during whi…

Standards of Evidence in Historical Research
This article seeks to give a brief response to the question, how do historians know when they know something? The question involves ideas about certitude and truth, and most historians today would make very modest claims about certitude or truth in our statements about the past. Many would echo Charles Beard, who said sixty years ago, “We hold a damn dim candle over a damn dark abyss.” Today the historical profession is fragmented, ideologically …
Literacy and Diversity
Twenty-five years ago Lawrence Cremin and Bernard Bailyn exerted a commanding influence on the field of American educational history. Between them they forged a new definition of the subject matter, studying families, churches, workplaces, and newspapers, not just schools. Some historians of education, including the present writer, did not learn this lesson very well. I defended my focus on schooling in The Evolution of an Urban School System by …
Literacy and Reading Performance in the United States, from 1880 to the Present
THE AUTHORS review literacy and reading achievement trends over the past century and place current debates in a historical perspective. Although then-and-now studies are methodologically weak, they suggest that students' reading performance at a given age remained stable until the 1970s. The test score decline that then occurred was not as great as many educators think, and much of it can be explained by the changing demographics of test-takers. …

The Development of Urban Schooling in America
Ideology and American Educational History
The ideological atmosphere has been highly charged recently in the study of American educational history. Hot debates center on the altruistic or self-serving motives of public school reformers, the liberating or oppressive effects of schools, and the relationship of educational history to present policy. Historians of American education are often most readily identified by ideological labels like “radical” or “Whig”. Thus it seems incongruous to…

Social Change, Discipline, and the Common School in Early Nineteenth-Century America

This article relates the urgent concern for school discipline to other developments in early industrial America. It comments upon two explanations offered recently and proposes a broader explanation which at once supports and revises the functionalist framework as it is applied to the hi…
