[Review of the book A Survey of the City Schools of Marion

Abstract

Reviews the book, A Survey of the City Schools of Marion, Illinois by Walter S. Monroe (1924). In this monograph we have the report of a survey of the school system of a small city. The findings of the survey staff are presented under the usual captions, including the city's investment in elementary education, the condition of buildings and equipment, the teaching staff and quality of instruction, the course of study and achievements of school children. In a final chapter certain specific recommendations are presented. The report has the merit of being brief, setting forth only such facts as are beneficial to the community concerned. The recommendations are made with the thought of securing the maximum of improvement in the local system with the minimum of expenditure. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
