Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A HANDBOOK OF AMERICAN PRIVATE SCHOOLS. Originally published in 1916. Text extracted from opening pages of book: PUBLISHER'S NOTE: The Sargent Handbooks, as projected, are to be a series of volumes on Education, Travel, and subjects of general human interest, not at present adequately covered by single books. The purpose is to bring together in a convenient form trustworthy information that will give a general, all-round critical view of the subject, with no hesitancy in telling more than the conventional truths. The plan contemplates annual revisions, sparing no effort or expense in investigation and editing until a definitive form has been attained. There is need for such carefully prepared books. On many subjects there is lack of coordinated, easily accessible information that will meet modern demands. These books endeavor to give a complete orientation on each subject. Specialists would never write them. Publishers have not produced them. If prepared with sufficient care, they cannot pay in the first editions. This second edition of the Handbook of Private Schools is a complete reconstruction of the earlier one, approximating more nearly the definitive form. Much study has been given to technical features. A paper has been selected which has the advantages of compactness and opacity and that takes halftones well without reflecting the light. The new type chosen after much study with the best expert advice gives the maximum of legibility with the maximum number of words in a given space. Although claimed by its makers to be the best face cut, it has been little used because it does not run into pages fast enough to suit the usual book maker. A Handbook of American Colleges and Universities will be the second of the Series on Education. Material for this has been collecting dur ing the Past year. A Handbook on the Education of Young Children is planned to complete the trilogy on the years of adolescent education. Simultaneously with this edition appears the second of the series, A HANDBOOK OF NEW ENGLAND, a volume of 840 pages, criti cally descriptive of town and country in alt phases of human interest. Other books are planned or projected which, if well received, may eventually cover the United States. Much material has already been brought together for a Handbook of the Middle States. The return of peace and normal interests may make possible the publication of the Handbooks originally planned on travel subjects for which material was accumulated in foreign fields during ten years* A Handbook of Rome, practically ready for the press for the past two years, is intended to be a sort of laboratory manual and source booh t collated from the best that has been written on the subject during the last 2000 years.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of American Private Schools, 1916: An Annual Publication This Sixth Annual Edition of the Handbook has been Wholly remade and reset in new type, using larger fonts, nine and seven point, uniform with other volumes of this Series of Handbooks. The first one hundred and twenty-eight pages will be found to be Wholly new, on subjects of contemporary interest, reviewing the events, tendencies and literature of the preceding academic year. A broad view Of education is taken, both in this country and other lands, with especial reference to secondary education and more particularly the private schools. The Critical d104 descriptive of schools and camps has been thoroughly revised and in large part rewritten with the addi tion of much new matter. Some hundreds Of schools and camps, some new, others not previously included in the Hand book, are described. The Comparative Tables have been recast in new condensed form which it is believed will prove more readily usable. The Supplementary List includes brief mention Of schools of various classifications of lesser interest to the users of this Handbook, or of which little is known. The Educational Directories will be found more complete, both in their classifications and in the inclusion Of the more important Associations, Periodicals, Agencies, etc., which are of interest to educators, and of Firms dealing with schools and colleges. The Index of Firms and the Analytical Subject Index it is hoped will prove helpful to school and college executives.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of American Private Schools: An Annual Publication It is believed that this Handbook is the first volume which attempts a critical and discriminating treatment of the private schools of the country. It is an endeavor to classify the schools on their merits, - at least a step, it is hoped, toward eventual standardization. That some such step is desirable, many educators have long urged. For some time there has been a demand among public spirited school men calling for public inspection of private secondary schools. William Holmes Davis of the Danville School, who has taken a foremost part in this, maintains, The private boarding school is doing an inter-state business. For this reason Federal inspection 18 desirable. There will be no necessity for compulsory inspection. No school can afford to fail cordially to invite inspection. T O fail to do so would hope lessly handicap it in its effort to interest patrons. The penalty for the failure to measure up to reasonable standards, such as may be determined by the Federal Bureau of Education, will be the inability of the school to enroll students. The day of such public inspection is, however, still distant. In the introductory chapters, it is believed, characteristic and important features of the private schools are brought out which have not been heretofore accentuated. The chapters on the History of the Private School, on the Girls' Schools, and on the Summer Camp, contain matter not known to have been brought together elsewhere, involving a considerable amount of research and, in the latter case, collection of material by cor respondence from many scattered sources.
