Présentation de l'éditeur

Excellent histories of the University and of higher education in Michigan have been published, but no connected history of the development of primary and secondary education in the State has appeared. Such history is found only in multifarious reports and other documents of a more or less permanent character. The lack of any history of this kind has been a matter of regret and inconvenience, and occasionally of reproach to the commonwealth. In a correspendence with the lamented Dr. B. A. Hinsdale, a short time previous to his death, he expressed his sense of the want of such a work, and urged some reasons why the present writer should undertake to supply it. Until that time I had formed no definite purpose of preparing this volume. Some circumstances, however, favored the undertaking. In the performance of my official duties, it had been necessary for me to acquaint myself with the school laws and educational institutions of the State; and in the preparation of histories of the normal school, of the institute work, of the educational funds, and of the State Teachers A ssociation, I had collected a considerable amount of material for such a history, and had discovered where still more material could be found. I have arranged this material in such form as, on the whole, seemed best adapted to the end in view. The plan adopted has necessitated occasionally a little repetition, and sometimes the separation of closely related matters. But it is believed that these disadvantages are not serious, and are more than compensated by offsetting advantages.
