I have nothing but praise and thanks for the bulk of Wegener's comments, in particular the first twenty pages, which he devotes to a reprise of his understandings of my points (Wegener, 1986). He notes that my concern for professors of curriculum is concern for them as participants in the teaching of teachers. (Some of them, of course, are quite uninterested in their contribution to the preparation of teachers; they are interested mainly in preparing doctors to become curriculum professors in other collegiate-university schools of education.) He restates with great clarity and with sound emphasis the distinction of Moscow and the provinces and the parallel distinction of theory and practice. Indeed, I consider his phrasing of these distinctions more illuminating than mine; e.g., General Headquarters gives the impression of being out of touch with the battlefield, issuing unexecutable, contradictory and unintelligible orders which confuse, waste energy and even cost lives (p. 218). He is equally clear and cogent regarding my proposed alteration.
