Book excerpt: Excerpt from Educational Survey of the Public Schools of Brookline, Mass, 1917 To the School Committee of Brookline: I have the honor to present herewith a report of an educational survey of your schools made under authority voted at your meeting held June 5, 1916. During the month of June of that year preliminary studies were made and a Plan of Survey was drawn and submitted for your approval. In carrying out the Plan of Survey I secured the assistance of a corps of workers each of whom had a broad knowledge of schools and school procedure in general, and in addition expert knowledge in a particular field. Though each of my colleagues gave chief attention to that phase of the work which represented his predominant interest there was more or less overlapping and thus the view of each worker was checked by one or more members of the staff as well as by the Director of the Survey who assumes full responsibility for the report as a whole. James H. Van Sickle, Superintendent of Schools, Springfield, Mass., Director of the Survey. Henry S.
