Slim, grey-mustached Ellwood Patterson ("Dad") Cubberley, dean emeritus of Stanford University's School of Education, is dean of historians of U. S. education. He wrote or edited the famed 100 Riverside Textbooks in Education and besides wrote 18 others. His best seller, Public School Administration, sold some 100,000 copies.

Whereas Christian Science grew into a well-organized church, Quimbyism remained an individualistic movement which did not even get a permanent name until the 1890s. Then it became known as New Thought...
...book describes the birth of America's first tabloid, Joseph Medill Patterson's "Illustrated Daily News," which appeared on June 26, 1919, modeled on the already successful English tabloids. It kept on appearing and today it is the largest selling paper in the nation, yet for three years Mr. Hearst never saw in it a potential rival. When he did it was too late.
