Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Growth of Responsibility and Enlargement of Power of the City School Superintendent University of California Publications. [education philosophers and reformers of the more recent centuries in Ger many, in France, in England, and the other continental countries. This knowledge the student of education should possess. But little indeed do most school men of today know Of the develop ment of educational thought in our own country, and of the bearing of this development upon our future educational policies. One cause of this dearth Of knowledge lies in the fact Of the meager amount of material in usable form bearing upon the growth of our educational history. Moreover, the lack of organ ization, from a national and interstate point of view, has made information difficult to obtain. This is simply stating in other terms that local autonomy rather than centralization of powers has prevailed. Time, like distance, lends a perspective and fur nishes a point of View.

Upon ourselves. The importance of the administrative side of educational affairs is daily becoming more apparent, and to the cities rather than to the rural districts we must look for our greatest ad vances in theory and practice.15 As cities become more populous, and as the problems looking toward solution increase, the ten deney is to repose ever enlarging powers in the man or woman who, more than any other, is responsible for the conduct of a city 's schools.
