Notes

1. The only attempt I know of to work out the educational implications of Dewey's transactionalism is by Henry Miller, “Transaction: Dewey's Last Contribution to the Theory of Learning,” Educational Theory, Vol. XIII, No. 1 (January 1963), 1328.Google Scholar

2. Baker's coverage of these early materials is much more extensive and penetrating than that provided by Arthur Wirth in his John Dewey as Educator (New York: John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 1966), and is one of a number of reasons that Baker's book is generally superior to Wirth's.Google Scholar
