Extract

Any time anyone mentions Dewey's disciples, the most obvious person associated with that description is Dr. William Heard Kilpatrick. Known by many as the great interpreter and popularizer of Dewey's theories, Kilpatrick has been both criticized and applauded as the leading defender of progressive educational practices. Often the impression has been given that, as the Apostle Paul carried the teachings of Christ to the pagans, Kilpatrick's major role in life was to carry the teachings of Dewey to the educators. Seldom is Kilpatrick's name mentioned without the notation that during his lifetime he touched the hearts and minds of over 35,000 students who attended his classes, learning the gospel of Dewey.
