dewey deal


  this is how john dewey saw things
circa 1900

   a  democratic 
         nation of  small farmers
wants cheap land
  hence the homestead movement 

 a  democratic nation
     of  wage jobsters 
    wants cheap training 
   hence 
         the  free public school movement  

well no thats not exactly 
either dewey
or reality  

but close enough

and both movements 
caused the opposite 
 of their intentions 
by the swamping of markets
