Excerpt from Report of the Educational Commission of the City of Chicago, 1899
To the Honorable, the City Council:
Gentlemen: That the system in operation for the government and supervision of the public schools of Chicago is not giving a measure of results commensurate with the generous financial resources furnished by the people, is acknowledged all around.
With the continual growth of the city, additional burdens keep coming to the door of the board of education, which is seriously handicapped by having to deal with new conditions and difficult developments in the harness of antiquated methods.
A change is needed, a change is essential, in regard to the educational and the business conduct of the school system, and to that end, I request power to appoint a commission to consist of nine, two to be members of the city council, two to be members of the board of education, and five to be outside citizens.
The object of the appointment of the commission is to utilize all that is good in the present system, to discard all that is defective, and to apply new methods where needed.
In answer to this communication, the city council authorized the appointment of the educational commission, tin order to secure fuller representation, the membership was afterward increased to eleven.
