Excerpt from Types of Schools for Boys

Any person who will read this book will see that the types of schools represented differ markedly from one another in matters of fundamental importance, as well as in details of organization, administration and disci pline. A student of American social and industrial conditions will probably feel that these various types of schools meet an increasingly important need. At the same time, it must be recognized that there are many laymen, and also teachers, who are opposed to some of these types of schools for boys, mainly be cause all they know about them they have gained from rumor. The present writer has heard men vigorously condemn military schools and church schools, and in fact all private schools. They have maintained that American boys should all be educated together in pub lic schools. On the other hand, the writer has heard men condemn all public schools, either because of their supposed materialistic or commercial or irreligious character, or because of the general flabbiness of their work. It is probable that these criticisms would be much less common and severe if men really understood the aims, practises and every-day life of the schools which they censure.
