FROM THE COVER: Anton Makarenko was to Soviet education what John Dewey was to education in America. Each believed education to be a group process but each placed a different interpretation upon the individual's role in society. Dewey emphasized the importance of the diversity of the individual's interests as necessary to strengthening society's growth. Makarenko felt that the individual's role should be subordinate to the collective needs of the group. He sought to educate the child according to environmental psychology in which social conditioning and habituation play a prominent part. It is essential that the West understand the direction that Soviet education is taking today, and this book helps immensely in achieving that understanding.
