Educators of the Country

speak for Patri's

“A Schoolmaster of the
Great City"

”

a

William Wirt, Superintendent of Schools, Gary, Indiana

“I have read the book with great interest and find it a vivid picture of the
difficult problem of actually doing in the school what we all know should be
done there. But the story does a great deal more than show the difficulty
of the problem. The successful way in which the difficulties have been
overcome is an inspiration ard should convince any teacher that the effort
is worth while. The great problem for us as teachers today is to actually
put into practice what we preach.'

a

Albert Shields, Superintendent of Schools, Los Angeles, Cal.

"It is a delightful thing to find a practical administrator who can see in the
school organization not the end of education, but a necessary yet ever
changing device for securing that end; whose understanding of the larger
problems is so real that he will not permit rules or traditions or habits,
however sanctified by long custom, to deflect his attention from the real
objects of true education—the welfare of children. It is a book full of help
and suggestion."

a

John Martin, Board of Education, New York City, N. Y.

"Were I an educational czar, I should issue an edict that every City Teacher
read this book three times during the vacation. If its spirit could take pos-
session of every school, a revolution would be effected more fundamental
than the glorious Russian Revolution.”
