Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Annual Report of the School Committee of the City of Boston, 1874
It was hardly to be expected then, any more than now, that seventy-four gentlemen, who had not stud ied education as a science, or familiarized themselves with the methods of the schools, should be able to adapt their examinations to the needs of the system, or conform to any particular standard. Undoubtedly there were many gentlemen who conducted them judiciously, but it is just as certain that there were many, who, however adequate their learning, encour aged rote-teaching, the memorizing Of the con tents Of the text-books, and other errors, which some of their more skilful, but not more zealous and devoted coadjutors denounced.
