Autorenporträt
Arland D. Weeks (1871-1936) was a professor of education, and later dean of education at North Dakota Agricultural College (today North Dakota State University). Though he identified himself as a conservative in some works, he was expressly a believer in all progress being tied to proper public education, and that civic conscience must be shaped by such education. In 1910 he co-founded Fargo's Commons Club, to discuss current events of public interest. Throughout his career he wrote numerous books and articles on education, fire safety, and most prominently on social psychology and its influence on civics.
