| Abstract | Sarah Jane Farmer untertood a series of educational projects durng the 1880-1900 period: the Eliot Public Library, the Greenacre Institute and the Monsalvat School for the Comparative Study of Religion. Two circumstances added considerable importance to her work: (1) her pioneering contributions to the adult education movement ; (2) timing of her programs, occurring as they did during a watershed period in which many American thinkers tried to draw their countrymen into the process of social change. |
