Lower-Middle Classroom

By Edgar Z. Friedenberg
The Education of American Teachers
by James B. Conant

McGraw Hill, 228 pp., $5.00

Dr. Conant's new book sets a high stylistic standard for administrative documents. It is bland, slightly tart, and absolutely clear; at times lightly personal, never contentious, often convincing. Its calm and precision are surgical; the surgery proposed, however, is not radical, but extensive and superficial.
