Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This text offers a meticulous examination of the bureaucratic workings of New York's Department of Education as the organization transitioned to a new funding model at the dawn of the 20th century. At the request of the Comptroller of New York City, the author was tasked with investigating the department's accounting of teacher salaries. The author provides a detailed analysis of the methods used by the department at the time, including the process of calculating teacher salaries, the payment of retirement funds, and the implementation of a new salary schedule. The intricate machinations of the department's record-keeping are laid bare, including an examination of the ledgers and payrolls that formed the backbone of the accounting system. The author also examines the efforts made by the Comptroller to institute a monthly pay schedule for teachers, a practice that was common in other city departments but not yet adopted by the Department of Education.
