Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Looking to Our Foundations The aim of the author of this book is to awaken the individual citizen to a keener realization of his right, and of his duty to participate in the organization, direction, and control of those of our organized activities and institutions, - civic, political, philanthropic, financial, and educational, - which are so essential to the general welfare of the people. On account of its relative importance, more space has been devoted to subject of the public schools than to all the other institutions combined. I wish to thank all those who have aided me in my work by answering my inquiries, furnishing information, statistics, pamphlets, salary schedules, reports of expenditures, budget estimates, etc. I acknowledge my debt of gratitude to those who rendered substantial service by reading and criticizing the manuscript. Acknowledgment is due to the publishers of Life for permission to quote from Gluyas Williams´ Senator Sounder article describing some of the inside workings of the senate committee on the tariff. In the preparation of "A Historical Sketch" of the schoolbook publishing business, the author has quoted freely from that scholarly pamphlet, "An Address Delivered before The School Book Publishers´ Association, 1899" by the late Mr. D. C. Heath, a successful and highly respected school book publisher. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
