User:Czar/drafts/American Summerhill Society

The American Summerhill Society was formed to promote the Summerhill idea in America after the 1960 release of Summerhill.

History
In late 1960, Harold Hart published Summerhill, a compilation of four of A. S. Neill's books about his educational philosophy and boarding school Summerhill School, repackaged for an American audience. The book found immediate success across the country. Hart organized a Summerhill Society in New York City. Paul Goodman was another founding member.
