A Comparative Study of Public School Systems in the Forty-Eight States

From the foreword: “Every other winter the legislatures of about forty states meet in deliberative session. They consider approximately 1,000 bills on educational questions and enact about 200 of them into law. This pamphlet has been compiled with the object of making available to legislators, school workers, and others having at heart the interests of public education, salient facts concerning school conditions in all the states. The figures have been derived from official sources and every care exercised to insure their accuracy. Every endeavor has been made to avoid complexities and technicalities. The object of the work is to render available to each state the experience of all.
