"It is the purpose of this book to show that a desirable life at Work Study and Play can actually be secured for children and adults by the WIDER USE OF THE SCHOOL - Preface." Thirty million American children are locked out of their schools for over half of the time that they want to use them. Thirty million American adults who want ot use the schools are locked out practically all of the time. GARY BROKE THIS LOCKOUT IN 1907 BY EXTENDING THE USE OF ITS SCHOOLS." Printed by the Students of Horace Mann School. " " Early in the 20th century education reformers were calling for new approaches to meet the demands of that era. "The Great Lockout" was written by William Wirt in 1937 to describe the radical Platoon Work-Study-Play Schools that flourished in Gary Indiana from 1907-37. This book contains Wirt's original document which provides a rationale for changing the curriculum offers cost comparisons and describes strategies for implementation. The Platoon Schools were pre-kindergarten through adult-education community schools that adhered to an extended school-year and school-day calendar. The book also contains a supplement that connects the Gary designs with the local realities of the present and the national visions of continuous learning systems for the future." Note: also with a page of illustrations by Casimir Norwaish aka Cass Norwaish then a student at Tolleston High School who went on to illustrate book covers professionally Horace Mann School unknown

1939Best.-Nr. H13549New York: Russell Sage Foundation 1939. Very Good. Probably 1939 but undated. 8vo wraps 14 leaves mainly lists of names of children and where they took courses. The exhibit took place at the New York Public Library. Among the names the only one that stood out to us was Harry Harrison possibly the science fiction author but we were intrigued by the mix of nationalities evidenced by the last names. RARE we could find no copies of this pamphlet in any library. The Works Progress Administration changed its name to the Work Projects Administration in 1939; thus our positing the date of this as likely 1939 possibly later. Russell Sage Foundation unknown
