Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Examination of the School System of Bridgeport, Connecticut To the Special Committee on Investigation of the School System, Bridgeport, Conn. Gentlemen: - I have the honor to present herewith my report upon the condition and needs of the schools of your city. In making this investigation, I have been assisted in portions of the work as follows: In comparing the expenditures for schools in Bridgeport with those of other cities, by Dr. Leonard P. Ayres, Director of the Division of Education, Russell Sage Foundation, New York City. In the study of the City Normal School, by Dr. Andrew W. Edson, Associate Superintendent of Schools, New York City. In the study of the High School situation, by Dr. Henry S. West, of the College for Teachers, University of Cincinnati, serving as a city assistant superintendent of schools, assigned to high school supervision. In the study of the work in history in the grades and the High School, by Mr. Wilbur F. Gordy, specialist in history, Hartford, Conn., formerly Superintendent of Schools, Springfield, Mass. In the study of industrial conditions, by Mr. Egbert E. MacNary, Supervisor of Manual Training and Principal of the Vocational School, Springfield, Mass. In the study of arithmetic work in the grades, by Mr. Edwin Hebden, Director of the Bureau of Statistics and Research, Department of Education, Baltimore, Md. In the study of language work in the grades, by Mr. Edward H. Webster, Head of the Department of English in the High School of Commerce, Springfield, Mass. Without the aid of these men, each of whom is an expert in his particular field, it would have been impossible for me, within the time available, to make sufficiently extended observations in all of the fields covered by this report to give warrant for the positive recommendations which I am now able to present for your consideration. I have, however, spent many days in your schools and have given personal attention to every phase of the school work here discussed. Therefore, while making grateful acknowledgement of the indispensable aid which I have received from each of my assistants, I assume full responsibility for every portion of this report.
