Book Description

Excerpt from Report of the Educational Commission of the City of Chicago, 1899 The superintendent of schools Should be granted much larger powers; he Should have not only the initiative, but the determination of all purely educational questions, his action being subject to revision by a majority of the board of education. The arrangement of the course of study, the choice of text-books and of apparatus, the examination, the appointment, the promotion and the dismissal of teachers are duties which properly devolve upon him, acting with his assistants and with the examining board, and subject to overruling by the board.
