Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A School Building Program for Cities That the city planning movement in this country is of comparative recency may be judged from the available literature on this subject. Of six hundred titles relating to city planning and allied subjects appearing in a list compiled in 1913 by the New York Public Library, the large majority were first issued within the present century. Of these six hundred titles, none concerns itself completely or in large part with the problems connected with the outlining of school building programs. A broader concept of what a city should be has gradually been dawning on the American people. A city is now conceived as a corporation working for the common good in a businesslike way. This implies adapting for city development the methods employed by the successful commercial and industrial corporations of the country. Part of the program followed by such organizations has been the study of the future needs of the people they expect to serve, as well as an attempt to discover the increase in growth of population in the communities in which they are doing business. The business corporation serving a widely scattered public which does not build in terms of the future development of the territory which it serves soon fails to make adequate dividend returns to its stockholders. The development of the school systems of the majority of American cities has suffered much from a lack of continuity in plan or program. Only recently has the practice been pursued of placing the control and responsibility of management of school systems in the hands of professionally trained executives. Where the responsibility for the progress of school systems or the building of a school plant has been vested in lay boards of education, whose interest in educational matters has been secondary and temporary, one may not expect to find school plants which are wisely planned, adequately housed, and economically maintained. The pernicious policy of appointing superintendents of schools for a term of one year or two years that still prevails in many cities destroys all possibility of a consecutive building program.
