The School and Society is a highly influential publication that laid the
foundation for John Dewey's later work. In the initial publication, Dewey
proposes a psychological, social, and political framework for progressive
education, including collaborative practical experimentation as the central
element of school work. He argues that the progressive approach is both an
inevitable product of the Industrial Revolution and a natural fit with the
psychology of children. The book had almost immediate popularity and
influence, with three printings within its first year, comprising 7,500 copies
between them. The first lecture examines the relationship of education and
social progress. Dewey argues that, with the coming of the industrial age,
many traditional educative processes had been lost. The third lecture takes on
the issue of "waste in education" in a somewhat unusual mode. The work was
cited by Édouard Claparède who helped shape a progressive éducation nouvelle
in Geneva, Switzerland, in the years leading up to the first world war.
