The goal of national parks is to "conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life therein and… leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.” Theodore Roosevelt wanted to protect nature and the "frontier" of the United States from the industrialization happening across the country in order to preserve the natural beauty of the nation. The goal is to also manage programs with the purpose of extending the benefits of these parks across the world. The national parks service also comes laws such as the Antiquities act that serve to protect areas of natural or historic interest including artifacts and ruins.

- In 1899, John Dewey published the pamphlet that made him famous, The School and Society, and promulgated many key precepts of later education reforms. Dewey insisted that the old model of schooling—students sitting in rows, memorizing and reciting—was antiquated. Students should be active, not passive.
-Dewey argued that curriculum should be relevant to students' lives. He saw learning by doing and development of practical life skills as crucial to children's education.
- Thomas Mann stood his ground for five more years and continued to bring uniformity to programs and quality of instruction. Mann saw revenue for education rise precipitously over the twelve years of his tenure (1836–1848). He popularized the idea of a centralized bureaucracy to manage primary and secondary education.
