Book excerpt: Excerpt from Survey of Chicago Public Schools, 1914 When the Department of Superintendence of the National Education Association met in February, 1913, at Philadelphia, much of the conversation in the corridors turned upon the survey of the New York schools recently made by a committee, of which Professor Hanus of Harvard University was chairman - a survey that cost$125, 000.00. The superintendent of the New York schools had long maintained a commanding position in the N. E.A., not only because he was at the head of the largest city school system in this country but also because of his clear and well-defined views on education and all subjects related thereto. He certainly had his opponents, but it goes without saying that one in such a conspicuous position is, in the nature of things, certain to raise opposition. And although the younger set sometimes congratulated one another upon having crossed swords with him in public debate, yet he stood before the education association as a superintendent who had lifted the schools of New York City out of the slough of despond into which it had become customary to assume that they had fallen long before he was placed at the helm. The report, it was said, criticized adversely not only the schools but also the methods of the superintendent. On the other hand a group of New York teachers, attending the meeting at Philadelphia, was fully as severe in its comments on the members of the committee and their methods. The National Council of Education held a meeting in Philadelphia during the same week, and appointed a Committee on Tests and Standards of Efficiency. The members of that committee, composed largely of college professors, have since appointment been busy surveying state, city, and town systems of education. They have not, however, done all of the surveying. The Governor of Ohio has had the state school system surveyed by a commission of three appointees, residing in the state, the study being conducted under the direction of a member of the City Bureau of Municipal Research of New York. The state normal schools of Wisconsin have been surveyed in the same bureau and the presidents of those schools in co-operation. It is not necessary to list all of the states and cities that have been surveyed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
