Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Educational Yearbook: For 1857 This little work, which the publishers have already ventured to call a periodical, is now offered to the friends of education in the United States, with the hope that it will be accepted as some return for the encouragement extended to the original plan. That something of this kind can be annually arranged as a Year-Book, and be made positively useful as a medium for circulating valuable and interesting statistical information, connected with the mighty school-interest embodied in the relations of one hundred and ten thousand teachers to more than" three and a half millions of pupils, in the United States, is obvious. And the task of compiling and arranging these pages has convinced us that such information, however desirable, not only lies outside of the range of any previous publication of this sort, but must necessarily be utterly inaccessible to a great majority of those who would be most likely to value it. It was not originally intended that the notices of the educational systems of the different States should occupy so large a part of the work. But, in the preparation, the materials accumulated; and, viewing the Year-Book for 1857 as one of a series, it seemed, on the whole, to be well to present in detail so much of the past history, and of the present condition, of each State's school system, as would afford a groundwork for future observation. Errors concerning some of the States may possibly be found in this portion, either from incomplete examination of the records, or because recent legislation may have changed more or lees of the system; such matters of incorrect statement, or of omission, may be readily remedied, when pointed out or discovered.
