R EPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF TEN ON SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDIES WITH THE REPORTS OF THE CONFERENCES COMMITTEE PUBLISHED FOR THE NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL PREFATORY NOTE. The Report of the Committee of Ten on Secondary School Studies is now generally known among the leading educators of the country, and, while there is much diversity of opinion respecting many of its recommendations, there is substantial agreement that it is the most important educational document ever issued in the United States. Prepared under the auspices of the National Educational Association, this Report was first published by the Bureau of Education, at Washington, and distributed at public expense to the extent of the funds available for that purpose. In spite of this liberal distribution, many thousands of instructors and educators could not receive a copy from that source. In view of the importance of the Report, and the increasing demand for copies, the National Educational Association has arranged with the American Book Company to print and publish another edition, and to furnish it at a nominal price, that its beneficial influence may be extended still more widely. In issuing the new edition, it has been thought best to make certain improvements in the make-up of the book, and to insert an Analytical and Topical Index, by which convenient and instant reference may be had to any subject mentioned in the Report of the Committee, or in those of the nine conferences. 64991 III |
