Influenced by reformist manifestos like John Holt's How Children Fail, more than 800 of them are now run by diverse idealists -suburban mothers, ghetto blacks, former campus radicals. Their mood is typified by exotic school names: The Mind Restaurant (Phoenix), The Elizabeth Cleaners (Manhattan). Stone Soup (Longwood, Fla.), All Together Now (Venice, Calif.). Their future...
