Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Primer of Public School Progress What is a "public school"? One where: 1. Teachers are licensed and hired under government control, 2. Schools are entirely supported by the State - no tuition required from pupils, 3. Schools are open to all children of the community, compulsory attendance being the rule. Has the term "Public School" always had this meaning? No. In the very earliest colonial days, schools were controlled and supported by the Church. The government assumed control of the schools by the following steps: First: Schools were authorized - permissive legislation. Provision was made for licensing teachers. Second: The government assumed part and finally the entire burden of supporting schools. Third: Attendance of all pupils was made compulsory. Schools were properly called "public" as soon as the first step was taken. When the second step was accomplished they were commonly called "free schools" or "free public schools." Through common usage the word free has been dropped and public schools has come to mean free schools publicly supported. The movement to make attendance of all pupils compulsory is of more recent date; but, nevertheless has become a common accepted practice of "public schools." In December, 1912, there were laws in thirty-six states making attendance compulsory for the entire state, six states have compulsory laws for certain districts only, and six states (all southern) have no compulsory school laws.
