Historical Note
Robert D. Love (d. 2004) was chairman of the board of Love Box Company, headquartered in Wichita, Kansas and operating in seven states (KS, OK, TX, AK, MO, NE, OH). The company was founded in 1923 by Walter L. Love. It manufactured and sold packaging supplies including corrugated boxes, foam, and shrink wrap.
Love was a supporter of the Center for Independent Education, a conservative program which deplored the political and economic factors underlying American public education. The Center advocated independent schools not affiliated with the state-run system of education. Love wrote a book, How to Start Your Own School, published by the CIE. The CIE became affiliated with the Institute for Humane Studies of Menlo Park, California, in 1973.
Content Description
The collection contains pamphlets and short monographs published or reprinted by the Center for Independent Education between 1968 and 1971. In addition to literature about the CIE and its parent institution the Wichita Collegiate School, there are such titles as Mann, Dewey and Disaster; We Need Private Schools; The Uneasy Case for State Education; and The Lost Tools of Learning.
