Excerpt from Report of the Committee of Fifteen on Elementary Education: With the Reports of the Sub-Committees; On the Training of Teachers; On the Correlation of Studies in Elementary Education; On the Organization of City School Systems
The origin and preparation of the Report of the Committee of Fifteen have been stated by its chairman in the Introduction to the report on pages 7-18.
The preliminary reports of the three sub-committees - On the Training of Teachers, On the Correlation of Studies in Elementary Education, On the Organization of City School Systems - were read before the Department of Superintendence, at Cleveland, and discussed. These preliminary reports have been published in educational periodicals.
During the session of the committee, at Cleveland, instructions were given for the completion of the entire report, including important extracts from letters by distinguished educators to the sub-committees, which make substantial and valuable additions to the reports. The final report, thus completed, was placed in charge of the Board of Trustees for publication, under the control of the National Educational Association, that it may be obtained in a permanent form, at a nominal cost, as the official Report of the Committee of Fifteen.
After correspondence was had with Hon. William T. Harris, United States Commissioner of Education, and others, it was deemed best to arrange for the publication of the Report of the Committee of Fifteen, as a companion to the Report of the Committee of Ten, and thus cover the entire course of instruction from the primary school through a preparation for college.
