Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Central High School of Philadelphia No one can study the growth of a great public school, with its struggles, - first for existence and later for independence and support, - without appreciating how closely it has entered into the life of the people. This history is the outgrowth of a sincere desire to record formally the work and the traditions of one of the strong educational influences in the development of Philadelphia. It is offered as a tribute to the long line of honorable and upright men who, under the stimulating leadership of Bache, Hart, Maguire, and Riche, were content to lead the quiet life of the public school teacher. The results of their work are to be found in the careers of their pupils. While in these days no argument for public education is necessary, it is hoped that this account of the work of one school may encourage those who in other places are advocating higher education for all, under the auspices of the state. I have to acknowledge courteous and ready assistance from many Alumni and others who were interested in the work. As the sources of information were largely personal memories and recollections, it has been deemed wise to give a complete list of those who have helped in the preparation of the work, and whose co-operation is gratefully acknowledged.
