Roaring Metropolis
Author: Daniel Amsterdam
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 0812292731
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
Debates about poverty and inequality in the United States frequently invoke the early twentieth century as a time when new social legislation helped moderate corporate power. But as historian Daniel Amsterdam shows, the relationship between business interests and the development of American government was hardly so simple. Roaring Metropolis reconstructs the ideas and activism of urban capitalists roughly a century ago. Far from antigovernment stalwarts, business leaders in cities across the country often advocated extensive government spending on an array of social programs. They championed public schooling, public health, the construction of libraries, museums, parks, and playgrounds, and decentralized cities filled with freestanding homes—a set of initiatives that they believed would foster political stability and economic growth during an era of explosive, often chaotic, urban expansion. The efforts of businessmen on this front had deep historical roots but bore the most fruit during the 1920s, an era often misconstrued as an antigovernment moment. As Daniel Amsterdam illustrates, public spending soared across urban America during the decade due in part to businessmen's political activism. With a focus on three different cities—Detroit, Philadelphia, and Atlanta—and a host of political groups—organized labor, machine politicians, African American and immigrant activists, middle-class women's groups, and the Ku Klux Klan—Roaring Metropolis traces businessmen's quest to build cities and nurture an urban citizenry friendly to capitalism and the will of urban capitalists.

The Development of High-school Curricula in the North Central States from 1860 to 1918
Author: John Elbert Stout
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
The purpose of this study is to trace the development of high-school curricula in the North Central states from 1860 to 1900. A brief introduction furnishes a background for the geographical area indicated. Part I contains a treatment of subjects and their organization into curricula. Part II deals with the subject matter of the various fields and subjects. Part III addresses subjects and subject matter in greater depth. For purposes of tabulation, the period 1860-1900 has been divided into eight units of five years each, to determine as accurately as possible the dates at which significant changes took place. In the treatment of subjects, organization of curricula and subject matter, the facts are presented as revealed by the sources consulted. No attempt has been made to give connected accounts of particular schools. Peculiarities of individual schools have been noted but conclusions deal with general practices and tendencies.
