Excerpt from Report of a Survey of the School System of Saint Paul, Minnesota
Conforming to the provisions of an ordinance introduced by my predecessor and passed by the Council on May 23, 1916, a survey of the school system of St. Paul was made during the months of January and February. Dr. G. D. Strayer, Teachers' College, Columbia Uni versity, was the director of that portion of the survey dealing with housing conditions and physical plant. Dr. C. A. Prosser, of the Dun woody Institute, was director of that portion of the survey dealing with vocational education. Dr. L. D. Coffmann, of the University of Minnesota, was director of that part of the survey dealing with the course of study and methods of instruction.
The delay in the publication of the survey has lbeen due to a com bination of circumstances over which the Department of Education has had no control. The surveyors, in some cases, did not get their copy ready for the printers' hands until October, 1917. The reading of proof was frequently delayed because of the pressure of work in the office of the surveyors and because some of the surveyors are now in the Government service. Some of the surveyors made changes in their copy at the time of reading their proof. The work in the print ing office has gone forward slowly. The Department of Education, while fully appreciative of the good derived from the survey, does not Wish to assume responsibility for any errors of fact, if any exist, omis sion-s, delays, inaccuracies or mechanical imperfections therein. A's rapidly as received, the copy has been given to the printer. The credit and responsibility for the mechanics and publication of the Survey rests with the surveyors and the printer.
