American educators have hailed the public high school as the ultimate guarantor of equal opportunity in a modern educational system. Professor Ueda's book discusses the reasons for the modernisation of the high school at the turn of the twentieth century, the kinds of opportunities the high school offered and the way in which it became a focus of civic life that reshaped the American sense of community and generation.
