Then and Now in Education is a significant historical study that evaluates the progress and evolution of the American school system. Written by Otis W. Caldwell, this work presents a detailed comparison between the educational standards and student achievements of the mid-nineteenth century and those of the early twentieth century. The text utilizes the landmark Boston Survey of 1845 as a baseline to measure how much pedagogical methods and learning outcomes had changed over nearly eighty years of institutional growth.

The book provides a rigorous analysis of subjects such as literacy, mathematics, and administrative organization, challenging contemporary assumptions about the efficacy of historical schooling. By examining test results and instructional philosophies, the author seeks to demonstrate the tangible advancements made in public education through more modern, scientific approaches. This volume is an essential resource for educators, historians, and policymakers interested in the roots of school reform and the development of standardized assessment. It offers a valuable perspective on the continuous effort to improve academic rigor and adapt educational practices to meet the needs of a developing society.
