Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Some Fiscal Aspects of Public Education in American Cities
Public Education as a Producer and Consumer of Social Energy. - As an instrumentality for the development of individual wholeness, for effecting the amalgamation and cohesion of di verse racial and cultural elements into a national unity, and for directing social energy towards social progress, we of the United States have doubted but little the total productiveness of our plan of education. Our faith has been instinctive rather than rational, for we have always lacked any definite standards by means of which its individual or social results could be tested with any degree of accuracy.
