How cities shape public schooling—and how to run it well. This historical collection presents Andrew S. Draper’s 1889 addresses on managing large-city schools and safeguarding every child’s right to education.
The book explains why urban school systems face unique challenges, from class diversity to health and discipline. It argues that strong, depoliticized boards, transparent reporting, and coordinated teacher training are essential for effective public education in big cities. Draper also surveys the legal duties and liabilities of school officers, urging openness to parents and reform drawn from global practice.
Readers will gain a clear view of the intersection between governance, policy, and daily school life in a rapidly growing urban landscape. The text blends practical administration guidance with reflections on the moral aims of schooling in a republican society.
Ideal for readers of educational history and policy, and for those exploring the roots of modern urban schooling.
