Excerpt from School Administration Progress of Twenty-Five Years, 1891-1916 As a result we may say that certain fundamental principles of action have now become established for city school control, and that these have become more or less recognized in legislation and school-board procedure. Freed from the curse of partisan politics and localism in the selection of a superintendent, often independent of the council in matters of finance, and responsible to the state rather than to the city, our city school systems have been free to go ahead and make progress wherever and whenever progress has seemed possible. In this progress in administrative organization our state and county school systems and particularly the latter, have not kept pace. In fact, it is only within the past decade that the possibilities of much real progress have become apparent. The cities, perhaps, had to make their educational progress first, before the administrative principles worked out by them could be applied to school organization and administration in state and county school systems.
