German-Swiss immigrant William Nicholas Hailmann (1836-1920) was a
major force in 19th century education and helped shape the
progressive education movement of the early 20th century.
Dorothy Hewes, Ph.D provides the first in-depth look at the career
of this important figure in the history of education. Along with
his wife Eudora, Hailmann helped shape public education in the US.
Hailmann played an important role in the early days of the NEA and
was Director of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Hewes artfully weaves together Hailmann's life story with the major
events and important people involved of the original Kindergarten
Movement. Thoroughly researched and well-written, this book is hard
to put down once you start reading. Hewes makes the past come
alive. Paperback 306pp. 2001
