Print on Demand. This insightful book examines the state of education in the United States, focusing particularly on the salaries, training, and experience of teachers in cities across the country. The author analyzes data from a comprehensive survey of 359 American public school systems, providing a detailed snapshot of the situation in 1919-1920. The book also explores the impact of the First World War on the teaching profession, highlighting the challenges faced by schools during a period of economic and social upheaval. By comparing salaries between 1913 and 1920, the author demonstrates the inadequate pay that teachers received, even as the cost of living skyrocketed. The book argues that, in order to attract and retain qualified educators, salaries must be increased to reflect the importance of their work. The author emphasizes the need for better training and experience among teachers, as well as the importance of providing them with adequate support and resources. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of education in the United States and the ongoing challenges facing our public schools today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

Know and Help Your Schools: An Interpretive Report of Inquiry No. 1 Relating to Salaries, Training and Experience of Teachers in the National Survey of Urban Public Schools is a historical study published in 1920 that presents the first in a series of inquiries into the state of urban public education.
The book frames how chambers of commerce and school leaders planned to gather and share facts to inform public support for school improvements.
This edition outlines the purpose of the national survey, details the scope of the data gathered from hundreds of American city school systems, and explains how the findings were organized. It emphasizes the role of civic groups in communicating the realities of salaries, training, and teacher experience to the public, and it situates the work within a broader effort to strengthen elementary and urban education through data-driven discussion.What you will experience
