A comparative study of the third-class city high schools of Sumner County, Kansas, 1935-36
Abstract
School administrators often become so involved in their
local problems that they fail to study the practices and procedures
of other schools. Pupils in their schools may thus
be deprived of superior educational advantages.
The writer has been superintendent of one school for the
past thirteen years. Administrative and teaching responsibilities
have allowed little time to investigate what was going
on in other systems. At various times he has keenly felt the
need of knowing more intimately the practices and procedures
followed in other schools. This study is an outgrowth of that
need. The smaller high school was selected because the writer's
work has been in such schools and because many studies
of larger schools have been made.
