Présentation de l'éditeur

Although popular education, since the earliest days of New England history, has been fondly cherished as one of the chief characteristics and safe-guards of our American polity, and although public schools early became quite generally diffused, especially throughout the North, yet at the opening of the present century it could scarcely be said that any of the States had what could be dignified by the term a public school system. Almost everywhere throughout the country the establishment and continued maintenance of free public schools depended chiefly upon local initiative and local public sentiment, while so far from there being any effective control and supervision of the schools, this factor was almost entirely wanting in every State. What little control and supervision existed was local, and took in no larger area than the township or county, and with the general establishment of the so-called district system was ushered in an era of the most extreme decentralization conceivable, during which a multitude of petty local boards and directors ruled supreme in their infinitesimal districts. Each district was a law unto itself; of uniformity and system there was none.
