What Has Changed in the Last Century
Collier's caught both men in mid-career in 1921. Frank Ellsworth Spaulding had just moved to Yale in 1920; he built and led its department of education until retiring in 1929, remained a leading voice for running schools on business-style efficiency lines, and lived until 1960, late enough to publish a memoir of his superintendencies in five cities. Oliver Lyman Spaulding, Jr., described here as an artillery brigadier and head of the A.E.F. Historical Section, retired from the army and became a productive military historian, writing on the U.S. Army and on ancient warfare before his death in the 1940s. Neither name is widely known now, though Frank Spaulding still turns up in histories of American school administration, usually as an exemplar of the efficiency movement that later scholars criticised.
