Summary
"An engaging, well-researched account of the private schools that proliferated in the interwar years in the American Southwest. Bingmann does an excellent job of situating these schools in the context of the history of American education.""--Lynn Dumenil, author of The Modern Temper: American Culture and Society in the 1920s
