dc.description.abstract	This detailed study of Youngstown, Ohio during President Harding's administration, tests the validity of the revisionist point of view that progressivism continued and, in some cases, became stronger in the period of the 1920's. This essay studies Youngstown's institutions: the City Council, the service organizations, the social agencies, the schools, churches, and newspapers. In addition, an examination is made of the role of industry and the businessman. The analysis includes the municipal charter reform drive. The role of community leaders concludes this study. The main sources for this essay were: the records of Youngstown City Council; the daily newspapers, the Vindicator and the Telegram; and the files on important leaders that are located in the Arms Museum of Youngstown, Ohio. The conclusion reached in this study confirms the revisionist assertion that not only did progressivism survive but expanded its horizons in the 1920's. The Youngstown story, in all probability, is typical of the rest of the nation.	en_US
