Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Academic Examinations and Academic Funds Mr Chancellor and Ladies and Gentlemen: No other State gives anything like the amount of money that New York State gives to the upbuilding of secondary schools. Our people give $65,000,000 each year for education and $7,850,000 for the annual maintenance of our 800 schools of secondary grade. But that is not what is now in mind. Reference is now made to the funds distributed by the State government to encourage the scholarship in and the expansion of the high schools and academies. The State began the policy even before she began to appropriate State school moneys for the elementary schools. She has maintained the policy with uniform sagacity and steadily enlarging generosity. The State support of the academic schools is more liberal than the State support of the elementary schools. The schools of approved academic standing receive academic funds in liberal addition to the distributive share which they get as common schools from the State school funds. This is right because they are much more expensive and because the elementary school system and all of the educational interests of the State are very dependent upon them. The special fund given by the State government for promoting the excellence of these advanced schools, which have come to be the vital connecting link between the elementary schools and the colleges and universities, and which have come to be the scarcely less vital link between the elementary schools and real success in our complex intellectual and industrial activities, is more than a half million dollars annually. This has been going on a long time and I make free to say that I think it should have been more uniformly effective than it has. The precise basis upon which this fund is allotted is left to the sound judgment of the Board of Regents. It goes without saying that it must be given in recognition and encouragement of scholarship. This has not always been as easy as the inexperienced may suppose. When the academic schools were few, before and for some time following the development of the public high schools, and when the appropriations were not large, the academic funds were apportioned upon the educational pedigrees of the teachers, the studies taught, the architecture of the schoolhouse, and the general reputation of the school. It seemed the only way. Then it was discovered that a better way for finding out about the work of a school is to examine the students.
