Excerpt from The Industrial and Commercial Schools of the United States and Germany: A Comparative Study
The conception of this work dates from the autumn of 1907, when the author was a member of the faculty of the State Normal School, Bowling Green, Ky. At that time, the author received a commission from Governor Beckham of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, "to investigate and report on the German School System to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction."
The study and investigation covered a period of two and one-half years.
Besides visiting the schools in all of the leading German States, the author enjoyed the exceptional privilege of pursuing a regular course on the purposes and methods of the continuation schools of Prussia, which course was given in the summer of 1909 in Berlin by Dr. Kuhne of the Prussian Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
The results of this investigation were first published in Germany in October, 1910, under the title, Die deutschen gewerblichen und kaufmannischen Fortbildungs-und Fachschulen und die industriellen und kommerziellen Schulen in den Vereinigten Staaten, Ein Vergleich (Leipzig). This work has been used as the basis of the present volume, though certain material additions have been made since the original issue.
