This book examines the events of July 1885, when Washington D.C. school trustee Benjamin Lovejoy was falsely accused of altering school payrolls, a claim later proven to be malicious and unfounded. The investigation leading to his exoneration exposed the true motives of Lovejoy's detractors and revealed longstanding irregularities within the school system. The author uses this case to examine the personal and political interests that were at play during this period of educational reform in the nation's capital, shedding light on the broader struggle for control of the city's public schools. By exploring the relationship between educational policy and the broader social and political landscape of the time, this book provides a fascinating glimpse into the complexities of urban governance and the challenges faced by those striving to improve public education.
