1924
Spanning from ancient Near Eastern scribal training and classical Greece through medieval monastic and cathedral schools, the Renaissance and Reformation, and the rise of modern national systems, The History of Education surveys how institutions, curricula, and governance evolved. Cubberley writes in lucid, synthesizing prose, arranging complex developments into a chronological, comparative narrative that foregrounds state policy, administration, and the social purposes of schooling. Situated in Progressive Era scholarship, the book codifies a canon for teacher preparation and administrative training, with bibliographic guides for further study. Ellwood Patterson Cubberley (1868–1941), longtime dean of Stanford's School of Education and a former superintendent, treated history as an instrument for reform. A leading architect of educational administration, he drew on statistics and the era's efficiency ethos to argue for consolidation, credentialing, and systematization. His classroom experience, administrative tenure, and editorial work on companion sourcebooks shaped the book's focus on institutions, governance, and the practical consequences of ideas. This volume remains indispensable for students of educational history and policy seeking an orienting map of the field's foundational narratives. Read with critical awareness of its Progressive and Eurocentric assumptions, it rewards readers with clarity, range, and a durable framework for thinking about schooling, democracy, and modernization.
