Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abstract of a Survey of the Baltimore Public Schools, 1920-1921 When the Committee of the School Board called upon me last summer in reference to the superintendency of schools, I secured from them assur ance that the Board would take steps to have a school survey inaugurated at the very beginning of the new school year, so as to get the completed survey report as early as possible in 1921. My attitude was to welcome heartily a thorough survey of the Baltimore school system as a first and a most important move on the part of the reorganized Board of School Com missioners. My own experience with previous school surveys had taught me that a school survey properly conducted by a competent and impartial director, not connected with the school system being surveyed, could bring to that system a clearness of vision as to the existing situation, and a soundness of judgment as to recommendations for the future, that would be of tremendous and lasting value to the city under survey.
