Extract

If he is alert to avenues of advancement, an educator (a term here applied to all college teachers) will heed the dictum “publish or perish.” Indeed, if he is in the fullest sense of the word an educator, he will have developed or be developing ideas and information he wants to share with readers somewhere. Unpublished material is of little benefit to a waiting world; obviously, information must appear in print to help either the reader or the educator-writer. For a person who has information to communicate, the problem of finding readers cannot be considered acute today. The beginner, whether he considers himself a specialist or a generalist, should find a measure of encouragement in the simple fact that there are literally scores of publications available to him.

Notes

1. The ground rules for the present study were: (a) Newspaper items were not counted, except one series of articles in the Baltimore Sun; (b) simultaneous publication within a six-month period of the same article was counted as two appearances and both journals were listed; (c) the count does not include reprints or summaries, except of speeches which were not printed elsewhere; (d) reviews were included; (e) letters to journals were included; (f) series of articles, or “one” article published in two or more parts in separate issues of a magazine, were counted separately; (g) only articles published during Dewey's lifetime were included.Google Scholar

2. The particular editorial and stylistic requirements of various journals, and the relationship of those requirements to Dewey's choice of the journal or its acceptance of his work is a matter studied in detail in each volume of the textual edition of Dewey's work, in progress at Southern Illinois University. Volume 2, Psychology, appeared in 1967; Volume 1, Early Essays and LEIBNIZ'S NEW ESSAYS CONCERNING THE HUMAN UNDERSTANDING, in December 1968; Volume 3, Early Essays and OUTLINES OF A CRITICAL THEORY OF ETHICS, in December 1969.Google Scholar

3. The Inlander was a student literary monthly at the University of Michigan from 1891 to 1907. Dewey helped found the journal and served with F. N. Scott as its faculty adviser from 1891 to 1894. In addition to his five signed articles in the Inlander, Dewey wrote in 1891 six brief unsigned contributions under the title, “The Angle of Reflection.”Google Scholar

4. A total of five Dewey articles appeared in this Japanese journal in 1921, one in both Japanese and English. As the remaining four have not yet been translated, they were not included in this count.Google Scholar
