Paperback. Condition: Very good. First Edition. Large octavo with brown and black pictorial wrappers; 140 pages: illustrations; 26 cm. "Young people off the city's streets. School dropouts, many of whom attend class at the suggestion of their parole officer. Will they listen to your lectures? If not, must you write these people off, give them up for lost? What can you do to reach them? How can you gain their attention? Their interest? How do you go about helping them learn? In St. Louis, Alfred Fleishman answered these questions with a unique experiment. He conducted classes through dialogue, letting "street fighters" tell it their own way, in their own language, from their own experiences. Then he expanded the dialogue to include a larger world where people learn to stay out of jail, prepare for work, get and hold jobs, and solve other problems." --Back cover.
