Excerpt from The Gary School System: A Series of Articles
A rather tragic distinction has been reserved for the word "Garyism" in that an almost universal familiarity with its sound has for a long time been unable to dissipate an almost universal ignorance as to its meaning. The word has proved practically unavoidable as an acquaintance and practically inaccessible as an intimate. Relentless in arresting the attention, it has tantalizingly persisted in eluding the understanding. It has achieved the paradoxical position of being unknown and yet widely known. It has been captured by a national fame, but it has refused to surrender to the average comprehension. Unexampled publicity has been chiefly informative in revealing the pitiable poverty of the current information.
The peculiar status of the word, therefore, is sufficient reason for appearing purely elementary in this introductory article.
A school system has been developed at Gary, Indiana, which has excited the interest and the wonder of the country.
The man who conceived and developed this system is a quiet thinker, named William A. Wirt.
