Excerpt from Report of the Committee Appointed to Visit the Public Schools of Philadelphia, New York, Brooklyn and Boston to the Board of Commissioners of Public Schools of Baltimore, 1867 In the larger cities of the states in which public schools are most popular. There are higher developments than can be produced in rural districts, less densely populated and possess ing fewer facilities of progress. In those cities, the develop ment is most actively progressive, and in the generous rivalry that prevails among their school men, there is a commendable desire to communicate, as well as receive, the intelligence obtained by efforts to work alike a local and a general im provement. The purpose is universal among gentlemen so laboring and co-operating, that the knowledge attained by the experience of each, should become the property of all, thereby securing the greatest possible advantages from the labors of the respective localities, and rendering them common property to all the laborers and co-operators of all the locali ties.

Excerpt from Public Education in the City of New York: Its History, Condition, and Statistics; An Official Report to the Board of Education The school was long without a permanent home, being kept in such premises as could from time to time be obtain ed. The first efforts to build a school-house were made in 1642; but the financial difficulties of the colony were so pressing that the funds collected were again and again di verted to other uses, chie y to defense against the Indians, so that the building was probably not erected till after the Eu glish occupation./ Small private schools were also early es tablished for the children of the more wealthy portion of the community, but, even in these, no one could teach without a license from the civil and ecclesiastical authorities.)

Excerpt from The Organization of City School Systems: An Address Delivered Before the Council of School Superintendents of the State of New York at Albany, October 14, 1912 The purpose of this paper is to express in general terms the conclusions reached after an experience of twenty years in dealing with many phases of the subject and also to express what is commonly acknowledged by expert authority in school administration to be the fundamental principles on which all laws which are to govern the public schools of a city should be enacted. Until a permanent policy shall be established in relation to the organization of the machinery for the operation of the public schools in the several cities of the State and upon fundamental principles consonant with the general policy of the State upon public education, and until these prin ciples are well understood by teachers, superintendents and officers who bear official relation to the schools, and until such fundamental principles are generally recognized by municipal authorities, political parties and in uential citizens, this subject is one which should receive the consideration not only of organizations of school workers like yours in session' here tonight but of all citizens who have a patriotic interest in the welfare of the State. The first law authorizing the establishment of public schools in this State was enacted in 1795. The permanent basis of a State system of public education was enacted in 1812, or just one hundred years ago. In these early statutes the principle was written that all tax-supported schools and schools receiving State aid should be under State supervision, that the schools constituted a State system and that public officers should be chosen in the several localities to represent the State and to carry into effect the State's policy in relation to public education. This principle became fundamental to all educational enterprises in which the State is interested. It is founded upon the sound doctrine that (the welfare of the State depends upon a general dissemination of education in all sections and for the benefit of all citizens and that, where the funds of the State go, the authority, supervision and control of the State must follow.

Excerpt from The New York Public School, Being a History of Free Education, in the City of New York The celebration of the centenary of the inauguration (on February 19, 1805) of the movement for free public schools in this city was suggested to the Board of Education in the spring of 1904, and, later, the preparation of a history of public education in New York. The Board unanimously approved both suggestions, and granted me a leave of absence for the purpose of writing this book. Although the time has been, of necessity, limited, no reasonable pains have been spared to secure accuracy. From the literary point of view this work makes no claim upon the reader. It is put forth as a fairly complete chronicle - a chronicle rather than a philosophic his tory of educational events in the city during the past one hundred years. To fill out the record, a preliminary chapter, relating to schools on Manhattan Island prior to 1805, precedes the his tory of the century now closing; and accounts of early schools in other parts of the city are also given.
