Excerpt from The Boise Survey, 1920: A Concrete Study of the Administration of a City School System
Mr. Oliver O. Haga, President Board of Trustees, Boise Independent School District, Boise, Idaho
Dear Sir:
In accordance with the authorization by resolution of your board, of date April 17, 1919, I have the honor to submit to you herewith the complete report of the survey of the public school system of your city.
In carrying out the purposes of your Board the survey staff, consisting of:
J. B. Sears, Director of the Survey, Associate Professor of Education, Leland Stanford Junior University;
William M. Proctor, Assistant Professor of Education, Leland Stanford Junior University; and
J. Harold Williams, Director of Research, Whittier (Calif.) State School for Delinquents,
spent approximately two weeks, beginning May 19, in active study and observation of the schools in operation. During that time conferences were held with your board, with the superintendent of schools, and with numerous school principals and other school officers; careful examination was made of financial and educational records, together with the systems used in reporting, recording, filing, and using such data; the whole school plant was thoroughly examined; standard tests were applied in three different subjects to a large number of children in the elementary schools; and numerous observations were made of classroom instruction.
While carrying out this work many data touching the various subjects dealt with in this report were gathered, and, through the courteous assistance of several students from the commercial department of the high school, a considerable amount of preliminary tabulation was effected, thus making it possible to direct our observation and study more definitely to the point while on the ground.
