Excerpt from School Efficiency, 1913: A Constructive Study Applied to New York City, Being a Summary and Interpretation of the Report on the Educational Aspects of the School Inquiry
During the year 1911-1912 I was placed in charge of the educational aspects of the school inquiry undertaken by the Committee on School Inquiry of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment of the City of New York. The inquiry covered thirteen months in all - from June 1, 1911, to July 1, 1912.
My report in its final form consisted of two parts: Part I comprising the Letter of Transmittal, the necessary Introduction to the entire report, and "The Report as a Whole" - the unification and interpretation of all the work done on the educational aspects of the School Inquiry, including summaries of our principal findings and recommendations; and Part II, consisting of the several reports of my associates on their separate fields of inquiry. Part I is reproduced in the present volume without change in substance and with only one considerable (but unimportant) change in form, namely, the transference of the statistical portion of the Introduction to an appendix.
Most of the first drafts of the reports of my associates could not be ready for the printer before the last week in June, 1912; and as our work in New York was to cease on July 1st, it was impossible for me to prepare "The Report as a Whole" before that date. It was manifestly desirable, however, to have our principal findings and recommendations easily accessible and in as brief a compass as possible. Accordingly, at my suggestion, my associates and I prepared digests of their reports at the time when their reports first went to the printer. These digests together constituted what we called a "Joint Report," and formed a considerable portion of Part I of my report as originally submitted to the Committee.
