THE SOCIAL FRONTIER KARTONIERT (TB)

The Social Frontier is the most interesting and important educational journal to emerge from
the Great Depression. First published in 1934 by a group of scholars at Teachers College 
Columbia University that included George Counts and William Heard Kilpatrick  the magazine
represented a conscious act of social and political reconstruction. With a strong
«collectivist» orientation  the magazine was widely misperceived as communist in its approach.
In fact  its editorial position called for a greater social role for teachers and a more just
and equitable system of schooling. The magazine  which was published for a total of nine years
included articles by major educational and social thinkers of the period from John Dewey to
Robert Hutchins and Harold Rugg. Within months of the magazine's first issue it came under
attack by right-wing political groups  particularly the Hurst newspaper chain. The Social
Frontier: A Critical Reader provides a selection of the most interesting and historically
important articles from the magazine with a comprehensive introduction and critical
commentaries on the selected articles  which are as timely today as they were when first
published seventy-five years ago.
