Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The territory of the present State of Arizona is embraced within 31° 20′ and 37° north latitude and between 109° 02′ and 114° 45′ west longitude. It covers an area of 113,956 square miles, of which 146 miles are water surface. The part north of the Gila River came into the possession of the United States under the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, and that south of the Gila as a part of the Gadsden Purchase of 1854. Arizona was at first included in the Territory of New Mexico, and the census of 1860 gives to Arizona County, N. Mex., a total of 1,681 families, representing 6,482 free individuals... Prior to the American occupation all the inhabitants of this region were Mexicans and Indians; and all the educational institutions, general in character and purpose, proposed in the past for this country by the Spanish Government had failed of realization. Thus early as 1777–1789 the founding, of a missionary college, perhaps at El Paso, was ordered by the King and the Pope, but nothing was accomplished. About the same time industrial education was proposed as a remedy for the ills of the country, but this, too, came to naught, and while educational reforms were demanded by Pedro Bautista Pino, the New Mexican representative in the Spanish Cortes of 1812, his efforts were without results...

Book excerpt: The history of Arizona public schooling had a modest beginning in 1864 when the first Territorial Legislature allotted $1,500 to five existing mission schools. The third territorial governor, Anson P. K. Safford, launched a crusade to establish public schools, and by 1877 there were 28. The 1885 Legislature authorized the founding of a Territorial Normal School at Tempe and a university at Tuscon. By 1900 Arizona had 428 public schools. The major accomplishment of the early 1900s was the establishment of high schools. During the 1920s and 1930s the first junior colleges were founded, and school consolidation halved the number of one-teacher schools in the state. After World War II, Arizona experienced tremendous growth, and the sudden influx of students created new problems for boards of education. Between 1960 and 1985, federal monies became a factor in local school district funding, and the number of schools continued to grow, reaching 861 public schools and 484 private schools and preschools by 1980. This collection contains historical overviews, many old photographs, and 114 personal reminiscences about memorable educators, teaching and education experiences in small rural schools, the inauguration of "modern" schools and educational innovations, and the particular experiences of pioneers, Blacks, Mexican-Americans, and Japanese American World War II internees.

This book was released on 1918 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a meeting of the Arizona School Official's Association held in April, 1915, a resolution was passed instructing the president of the association to appoint a committee to arrange for an educational survey of the State. Members of the bureau staff visited schools in 12 of the 14 counties, and in 22 of the 24 cities employing city superintendents. Visits of from 20 minutes to an hour were made to about 200 city school teachers, and at least 100 visits of the same length were made to rural school teachers. Several months were spent by members of the survey staff in studying official reports of State and county school officers, records of the State treasurer, State board of control, county treasurers, and other State and local officials. Questionnaires were sent to all teachers in the State for personal data relative to their education, training, experience, salary, etc. Returns were received from approximately 81 per cent. Approximately the same proportion of returns was received from a questionnaire sent to officials concerning the condition of school buildings. Much information was obtained from returns received from a general letter sent to over 500 prominent persons in the state engaged in various occupations. They were asked to express their opinions relative to the strength and weaknesses of the schools. A large number responded, and their opinions were given due consideration in the preparation of this report. This bulletin is divided into four chapters.
