Rare: no copy cited in WorldCat. <br/><br/>"It is the purpose of this book to show that a desirable life at Work Study and Play can actually be secured for children and adults by the WIDER USE OF THE SCHOOL - Preface." Thirty million American children are locked out of their schools for over half of the time that they want to use them. Thirty million American adults who want ot use the schools are locked out practically all of the time. GARY BROKE THIS LOCKOUT IN 1907 BY EXTENDING THE USE OF ITS SCHOOLS." Printed by the Students of Horace Mann School. " " Early in the 20th century education reformers were calling for new approaches to meet the demands of that era. "The Great Lockout" was written by William Wirt in 1937 to describe the radical Platoon Work-Study-Play Schools that flourished in Gary Indiana from 1907-37. This book contains Wirt's original document which provides a rationale for changing the curriculum offers cost comparisons and describes strategies for implementation. The Platoon Schools were pre-kindergarten through adult-education community schools that adhered to an extended school-year and school-day calendar. The book also contains a supplement that connects the Gary designs with the local realities of the present and the national visions of continuous learning systems for the future." Note: also with a page of illustrations by Casimir Norwaish aka Cass Norwaish then a student at Tolleston High School who went on to illustrate book covers professionally Horace Mann School unknown

Covers have slight wear and soiling. 2 volume set. xiii 91 v159 p. Includes illustrations. Glossary. From an EPA website: "Reformulated gasoline RFG is gasoline blended to burn more clearly than conventional gasoline and to reduce smog-forming and toxic pollutants in the air we breathe. The RFG program was mandated by Congress in the 1990 Clean Air Act amendments. The first phase of the RFG program began in 1995 and the second current phase began in 2000. RFG is required in cities with high smog levels and is optional elsewhere. RFG is currently used in 17 states and the District of Columbia. About 30 percent of gasoline sold in the U.S. is reformulated. The air quality benefits RFG has achieved represent a significant part of the country's smog reduction strategy. The RFG program combined with other industrial and transportation controls aimed at smog reduction is contributing to the long-term downward trend in U.S. smog levels. About 75 million people breathe cleaner air because of RFG." United States Department of Energy, Energy Information Administration paperback

According to a writer for the LONDON SPECTATOR the Scottish philosopher and adult educationist Thomas Davidson 1840 - 1900 was at the time of his death one of the twelve most learned men in the world. Davidson translated most of the writings of the Italian philosopher Antonio Rosmini-Serbati and as a consequence was responsible for the introduction of his philosophical system to English readers. "After graduating from Aberdeen University 1860 Davidson successively held the positions of rector of the Grammar School of Old Aberdeen teacher and professor in various places in England Scotland and American. He traveled extensively and became a proficient linguist acquiring a knowledge of French German Italian Spanish Greek Latin and Arabic. His ideal was to popularize knowledge among the masses and with this end in view he founded the London Fabian Society but lost interest in it when it drifted into socialism. His interest in St. Thomas Aquinas secured for him an invitation from the pope to proceed to Italy and assist in the preface to a new Vatican edition of the saint's works. He organized the Collegiate Institute of Canada and the Glenmore School for Culture Sciences at Keene in the Adirondack Mountains. Davidson's most successful work was in connection with the Educational Alliance in New York where he attained wide popularity by a series of lectures on sociology. A special class was formed for Jewish young men and women whom he introduced to the great writers on sociology and their problems. He aimed at founding among them what he called a 'Breadwinners' College' but his work was cut short by his untimely death." -- Jewish Encyclopedia in the public domain. First Edition. Hardcover.
