Excerpt from School Administration in Municipal Government While various phases of school administration in cities have engaged the attention of educators and of writers on municipal government, no one seems to have undertaken a study of the entire Subject. Educators have laid stress mainly upon the pedagogic side of administration, and stu dents of municipal problems have treated education as merely incidental to their main theme. The following paper is the result of a study of school administration in its immediate relation to municipal govern ment. No attempt has been made to treat the subject from an historical point of view, except in so far as was necessary to explain present conditions, and reference has been made to foreign school systems only when such reference served to suggest possible improvements in our own.

Excerpt from Administration of Schools in the Smaller Cities The usual method of choosing school board members is election at large. In 417, or per cent, of the 516 cities reporting, the board is elected by the people; and in 99, or per cent, it is appointed by the mayor, city council, or commission. Of the 99 boards appointed, 32 are appointed by the mayor and 67 by the council or commission. Most of the States having general laws regarding the method Of choosing city school boards provide for election by the people. (see p. Students of school administration almost without exception favor an elec tive board, especially in the smaller cities. They say that appointment by the mayor or city council places the schools too far away from the people, and that the people take more interest in the schools if they elect the board. It is pointed out that in some cities where boards are appointed the mayor or the members of the city council control the schools to a very great degree, so' that anyone seeking an appointment or a contract needs only to Obtain the approval of the mayor or the members of the council. In brief, an appointive board is too often the tool of the mayor or council, many times not working for the inter est Of the schools but for the interest of party. If the council appoints, there is temptation on the part of its individual members to dictate policies to the school board and to influence it to elect such janitors and teachers as they may suggest. In other words, appointment by either the mayor or city council tends to entangle the schools in petty city and ward politics.

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 School Administration and School Reports In accordance with the general purpose of the book, the first essay deals with the Meaning of Education. This essay endeavors to outline spe cifically, though in general terms, the necessary educational doctrine of a superintendent of public schools in a democratic society like ours, and it sug gests also in outline the different kinds of schools which the conception of education defined in the essay requires for its embodiment in practice. In other words, the first essay attempts to outline briefly educational Opportunity in relation to con temporary educational needs. The nature of the second essay is defined in its title, Some Principles of School Administration. This essay was originally read at the meeting of the Department of Superintendence of the National Education Association in 1913. It attempts to set forth in a brief, but it is hoped in a definite, way cer tain fundamental principles which every superin tendent who seeks to define his administrative policy needs to assimilate. The third essay deals with Town and City School Reports, More Particularly Superintendents' Re ports, and aims to achieve two distinct but related purposes; first, to show the unsatisfactory character of most school reports as they are; and second, to suggest definite ways of improving them. Much uncertainty undoubtedly exists in the minds of su perintendents concerning the aims, scope, and method of the reports which they are required to submit from time to time for the information of the school board, the teaching staff, and the public. This essay seeks to define these important elements of school reports, and the writer hopes that it will be found of service in the field which it covers. It was read at the meeting of Section L, in December, 1915 (chairman's address), and was printed in School and Society for January 29 and February 16, 1916.

Excerpt from Addresses Delivered at the Organization Meeting of the Department of Public Instruction: April 29, 1871 The Department of Public Instruction, under the recent act of the Legislature amending the city charter, now commences its career under our direction as its Commissioners. I have deemed it proper to give this brief but yet very imperfect survey of the past history and accomplishment of the cause of education in New York, in order that we may be sensibly and properly impressed with the importance of the work In which we are engaged, and with the magnitude of the trust to which we have, by the appointment of the Mayor of New York, succeeded. The change at this time wrought is not in the system of the schools, nor in their administration, nor in the course of instruction. Nothing is extended or diminished. The recent act establishes a connection between the administration of public instruction and the municipal government. The Department of Public Instruction is in name and in fact a branch and department of the city government. If instruction is the business of the State, this is as it should be. Our duties as Commissioners are no more and no less than they were as members of the Board of Education. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
