Hello: I'm wondering if anybody recalls anything in Twain studies discussing Twain's knowledge of Francis W. Parker (1837-1902). I keep running into dead-ends. Parker is perhaps best known as a turn-of-the-century education reformer and associate of John Dewey. (Anyone know if Twain knew/discussed Dewey? That would help me, too. The most obvious link between Twain and Dewey I think would be through Twain's association with William James.) Thanks much, Joe Csicsila
