Letters To Dalton: Higher Education And The Degree Salesmen by education observer and commentator John R. Turner is an impressive collection of thirty-six letters in which he deftly presents a variety of attitudes and viewpoints critiquing high schools and colleges. Sometimes invective, sometimes inspirational, always with an eye toward the foundation of educational institutions rather than their surface issues, Letters To Dalton: Higher Education And The Degree Salesmen is an erudite presentation and highly recommended reading — especially for those charged with responsibilities as educational administrators, policy makers, and curriculum developers.
