Talk:Harold Rugg

Living Person?
Why does the article have to "adhere to the policy on biographies of living persons"? Harold Rugg was long-lived indeed, but if he were alive today he would be 123 years old! Rugg lived from 1886-1960. This article is poorly written, overly short, and completely misses Rugg's achievements or significance. I'm writing a graduate paper about him this week, and when I am done will come back to improve this entry. Dan Quigley (talk) 20:49, 4 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I think that because Mr. Rugg was in existence he is considered a living person, as opposed to a table. I agree, this extremely brief entry misses his influence on the history of Education.  I'm going to do some research and add in some content as well. Jslist (talk) 14:53, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

History of Textbooks
This article should include references to what happened because of Rugg's creation of the first textbook. Jslist (talk) 14:53, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Incorrect date for first publication of "The child-centered school"
The Library of Congress catalog entry and all OCLC catalog entries for the first edition of this work give the copyright date as 1928--rather than 1926, as stated in the article. A copy in my possession agrees with the 1928 date. Based on this, I am changing those references in the article.Sws1943 (talk) 20:42, 14 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for noting this. I don't see that you did change the dates, so I've done so. ★NealMcB★ (talk) 00:20, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
