Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Generation of Progress in Our Public Schools, 1881-1912: An Intimate History of the Public Education Association of Philadelphia Since Its Origin as a Volunteer Organization of Citizens Interested in the Welfare of Our Public Schools This study is put forth neither as a complete history of the PubHc Education Association noras a chronicle of all the developments of the public schools of Philadelphia. If, however, it does give some side-lights on the progress of public education in this city, and if through setting forth the results gained by co-operative effort of public-spirited citizens, it shall encourage others to a like service, it will have fulfilled its purpose. For the investigation of the material from which the facts here stated were obtained, the Association is indebted to Miss Elizabeth Haupt Smith. In order to secure as great accuracy as possible in the facts narrated, she has given much time and untiring effort in research in the records of the Association, the reports of the Board of Education and other sources; and has placed on file in the office of the Association a detailed record of the authorities consulted. For intimate notes on the early history of the Association we are indebted to its first President, Mr. James Whitney; its first Secretary, Miss Charlotte Pendleton; to Mr. W.W. Justice, and others. Former Secretaries, Miss Dora Keen and Mr. George Roth, have also given valuable assistance in regard to the periods of their service. A large part of the history of the Code of 1911 is by the pen of Mr. Roth. To these and to all those who through their helpful interest have made this study possible, we extend our sincere appreciation. Jamess. Hiatt, Secretary.
