- Specific policy recommendations from a coalition of labor and civic groups.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the results of hearings held by the New York City Board of Aldermen in 1917, during a period of great social change and concern over the state of education in the city. The author brings to light the concerns of the public and educators over the state of the school system, with overcrowded classrooms, a shortage of schools, and inadequate resources. The main focus is on the debate over the introduction of the Gary school system, a controversial approach that proposed to introduce vocational training and a "duplicate school" system to address overcrowding. The book not only provides insights into the specific challenges faced by the New York City school system at the time but also serves as a valuable historical document, shedding light on the broader issues and debates surrounding education reform and the role of public education in a rapidly changing society. The author's meticulous reporting and detailed accounts offer a glimpse into the complexities of educational policymaking and the diverse perspectives that shaped the future of education in New York City and beyond.
