Excerpt from The Making of an American School-Teacher
A few words only are needed to introduce this little book. If it has any quality of helpfulness, it will speak for itself better than any preface could do.
It was first published serially in the Saturday Evening Post and merits, it is believed, a more permanent form, especially as it touches upon problems of Public School Administration that are of universal concern.
It will interest some readers to know, others will readily recognize the fact that this book is the life-story of Mr. E. G. Cooley, head of the Public School System of Chicago and one of the foremost educators of America. He has under his charge 259 schools, 5,800 teachers and 280,000 pupils - truly a great responsibility. Mr. Cooley has had a rare career - a career still unfinished, but rich in suggestion to all who have a care for the processes by which a real education is developed.
