Progressivism -- For Middle-Class Whites Only: North Carolina Education, 1880-1910
Creators
Abstract
"The problem that the South now presents," asserted Walter Hines Page in an Atlantic Monthly article in 1902, "has at last become so plain that thoughtful men no longer differ about it. It is no longer obscured by race differences nor by political differences. It is simply the training of the untrained masses." Education, Page was sure, would build a new "democratic order of society" in the South, would, as he had asserted in a famous 1897 speech, "develop the forgotten man .... The neglected people will rise," he went on, "and with them will rise all the people."

Appendix: On the Use of Proxy Variables for Educational Quality and Income
Abstract: This 16-page appendix was not included in either the Working Paper or the published version of this paper. It is both a justification for using expenditures per student in the population, by race, as a measure of discrimination and a response to criticisms when I gave the paper at the Economics Department of the University of Chicago that what I considered discrimination was merely a response by school boards to market forces. It contains 4 substantial tables, to go with the 12 tables already included in the published version of the paper, which no doubt explains why the editor of the Journal did not wish to add it to the burden for his almost entirely non-cliometric audience.
