Our Schools in War Time—and After

"Our Schools in War Time—and After" by Arthur D. Dean is a discourse examining the shift in American schools during World War I as they adapted to wartime demands, arguing that education should be intertwined with national duties and citizenship. It portrays a country awakening to the broad needs of wartime, extending past military action into complete national mobilization, including scholastic institutions, presenting the idea of incorporating war-related education into everyday schoolwork, and promoting civic duty in young people. Dean considers prior methods of other countries and encourages an innovative future where schools utilize wartime demands to advance teaching methods and education as a whole.
