1 See the History of Education Quarterly, especially after 1965. From its inception to 1966, the emphasis on American history was not pronounced, but soon after, the overwhelming majority of articles published were on education in the United States.Google Scholar

2 A review of the “Chronica” section of Paedagogica Historica 18 (June 1978) to 20 (June 1980) gives one a good idea of the numbers of societies in Europe devoted to the study of the history of education.Google Scholar

7 A number of these articles are, in fact, quite good, especially those which discuss historiography. See for example, Catarsi, Enzo, “Momenti di storia della scuola italiana,” Paedagogica Historica 19 (June 1979):77–93, an excellent historiographical overview of Italian education; Chambliss, J.
