I have read lots of education books that have been from the recent past and I am also interested in how little has really changed in more than 50 years in some places. I was introduced to "Workshop Way" a few years back which was developed by Grace Pilon many years ago in the Chicago projects. Her ideas and are as relevant today as they were back then, giving students the responsibility for their learning....It is interesting how ideas get recycled. Thank you for writing about this.

Hi Bud,

You mentioned that you are looking for more of Patri’s work. I found two books by Patri:

http://books.google.com/books/pdf/Pinocchio_in_Africa.pdf?id=jhNHAAAAIAAJ&output=pdf&sig=ACfU3U2oCIpYB7WrlPIh1gccQTa2Ns7GsQ

http://books.google.com/books/pdf/Child_Training.pdf?id=IcQ66IPpXngC&output=pdf&sig=ACfU3U1O_61XnjTfDcO4ExrKS0UoXDSeLg

The first book, Pinnochio in Africa, has illustrations that make Amos ‘n’ Andy look like a paragon of racial sensitivity.

Hi Tracy,

I just double-checked the link and it opened fine for me. Do you have Acrobat Reader installed? Has anybody else tried it?

Bud – thanks for the review.
Brad’s link to the book in the comments didn’t work

Here is another place to find it:
http://www.archive.org/details/schoolmasterofgr00patr

If for some reason that link breaks, go to archive.org and do a search for angelo patri.

There are quite a number of writings and thought on teaching from way back when that talk about the same things we do today…Look at Dewey!
