Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Statement of the Commissioner of Education to the Secretary of the Interior: For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1898 Sir: I have the honor to submit the following statement of the Operations of this office for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1898: In accordance with the provisions of the law establishing this office, during the past year a large portion of the work has been directed to the collection of such statistics and facts as show the condition and progress of education in the several States and Territories, and in addition to this the collection and arrangement of information regard ing the school system and methods of teaching in the other nations of the world. The material obtained has been embodied in the report for the year 1896 - 97, the first volume of which was received from the press in June, the same being seven months earlier than any previous report had been printed. To obtain the information collated and tabulated regarding the United States I sent out blank forms of inquiry to 25 different classes of educational institutions. In another place in this statement I give a few summary tables containing the general items of information presented by States and by the census divisions of the country. It is believed that the collection and diffusion of information regard ing education stimulates local self-help. Each superintendent or director of schools and each teacher certainly can work more intelligently in the light of the statistical knowledge of the methods and results obtained by other laborers in his field. A believer. In local self-government as the best form in which to develop and perfect to the highest degree in each citizen the directive power necessary to perform the duties due toward the State, as well as those due to one's private business, will readily adopt the doctrine that the schools of the country will make a surer progress outside of a centralized national board of education than within it, provided the National Government furnishes in accessible form the information necessary for the school director to understand the experience of.his fellow-workers throughout the country. To secure the highest degree of self-activity the individual must do his own work, but do it in the light of all that is done and planned in his sphere.
