"The School and Society" is a collection of three lectures by John Dewey on education, with a supplement describing the University Elementary School. Dewey discusses the relationship between schooling and society, and the role of experience and practical activity in children's learning. They are worth listening to for insight into progressive education and the connection between the classroom and the community.
