Excerpt from School Efficiency, 1913: A Constructive Study Applied to New York City, Being a Summary and Interpretation of the Report on the Educational Aspects of the School Inquiry
My report in its final form consisted of two parts: Part I comprising the Letter of Transmittal, the necessary Introduction to the entire report, and The Report as a Whole the unification and interpretation of all the work done on the educational aspects of the School Inquiry, including summaries of our principal findings and recommendations; and Part II, consisting of the several reports of my associates on their separate fields of inquiry. Part I is reproduced in the present volume with out change in substance and with only one considerable (but unimportant) change in form, 'namely, the trans ference of the statistical portion of the Introduction to an appendix.
Most of the first drafts of the reports of my associates could not be ready for the printer before the last week in June, 1912; and as our work in New York was to cease on July 1st, it was impossible for me to prepare The Report as a Whole before that date. It was manifestly desirable, however, to have 'our principal findings and recommendations easily accessible and in as brief a compass as possible. Accordingly, at my suggestion, my associates and I prepared digests of their reports at the time when their reports first went to the printer. These digests to gether constituted what we called a Joint Report, and formed a considerable portion of Part I of my report as originally submitted to the Committee.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the state of education in New York City as of 1913 by studying the quality and efficiency of the city's elementary schools, vocational training schools, high schools and the central administration of its Board of Education and local school boards. The author, an educational expert, led a team of specialists who conducted a comprehensive review of each of these educational divisions with the aim of identifying and presenting detailed solutions for ongoing issues. After a brief overview of the methodology used in the research, the book analyzes the efficiency of New York City's schools from a curriculum perspective. It discusses how well the schools were meeting the needs of the communities they served. The text provides insights into how closely actual teaching practices were aligned with the course of studies, with a particular emphasis on identifying where there were gaps in students' fundamental habits, such as constructive imagination and reasoning. It also evaluates the quality of the instruction and supervision provided by principals and superintendents, highlighting instances where leadership was lacking. The final part of the book presents recommendations for upgrading the city's educational system, including suggestions for reforming the course of study, increasing flexibility in subject matter and administration, and adapting instruction to individual and local needs. By providing a critical examination of the educational system of its time, this book establishes a framework for improving urban school systems across the country.
