Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed report on the Division of Schools 4 and 5 in Brooklyn from the school year 1914-1915. The division Superintendent submits a discussion on the purpose of organizing the divisions, what a division report should be, and a summary of new features for this year. The new features in 1915 include elementary schools No. 5 and No. 158 beginning a focus on vocational pursuits, and the reorganization of school No. 89 to incorporate the Gary System. The author presents an investigation prompted by media criticism of school systems as extravagant consumers of taxes and argues that these criticisms are unfounded. The author also questions whether a school system is a failure if its graduates lack the ability to spell, write, or cipher. The author contends that schools can, without great effort, prepare graduates that can meet these basic requirements. The author shares results from ability tests given to graduating classes as evidence of the effectiveness of the system and includes suggestions from various sources for what a Brooklyn graduate should be. The report also includes sections on efficiency standards, instances of efficient organization, and a discussion of the importance of ideals and revisions in the field of education, which includes an overview of a variety of professional organizations serving Brooklyn teachers. The book provides a valuable examination of the Brooklyn school system during this period and provides insights on the main subject of educational efficiency at the time.
