Reese, University of Wisconsin, Madison
"[Praise for the hardcover edition] As the story unfolds in Ronald
D. Cohen's clear, workmanlike prose, enlivened by a wry sense of
humor and vivid quotations and anecdotes, one appreciates more and
more Cohen's decision 'not to put Gary schools in an ideological
straitjacket." -- David Tyack, author of Tinkering Toward Utopia:
ACentury of Public School Reform
"[Praise for the hardcover edition] This wonderfully crafted work
tells the story of a remarkable school history, and contributes a
valuable addition to the scholarship of educational history." --
David G. Hogan, Heidelberg College
"[Praise for the hardcover edition] Cohen's case study provides a
lovely source book for anyone who is interested in examining the
way in which major issues in American education played out in a
particular setting." -- David F. Labaree, Michigan State
University
"... Will be rewarded by an informative study that sets an
intriguing story of educational reform in a carefully drawn
historical context... He explores, successfully, the relationship
between educational and social change... Children of the Mill
significantly contributes to, without resolving, the continuing
historiographical debate over the virtues--and meaning--of
progressive schooling." -- Paul Axelrod, York University, Histoire
sociale / Social History, Vol. XXXVI, No. 72
