Excerpt from The Continuation School in the United States First, it indicates that the schools in the upper grades fail to meet the enlarged needs and interests of the great majority of the young people to whom it may be reasonably expected that they should minister. Secondly, it indicates that the greatest proportionate withdrawal, being in the upper grades, is among the brighter children. To be specific: \vhen the last grammar grade is reached, only 40 per cent of the pupils entering school are left. AS stated, this 40 per cent represents the brighter element. An elimination of a third of these represents a greater loss to society than does the same numerical loss lower down in the grades. It is likewise true that the most of those eliminated in the higher grades are not so gifted as the verv few who stay still longer. Since the interests of the young are constantly widening as they ascend the grades, it is increasingly difficult for the school to meet their needs. The stronger the pupil the stronger will outside interests appeal to him and attract him away from the pursuit of studies in which he has comparatively little interest. Hence, during this time, among those who will be the first to leave school on any pretext will be many who would, with proper training, become in uential leaders in society. But for want of it they are too often subjected to the deadening in uence of the treadmill of the factory and the shop and lose all the ambition they once had for improvement.

Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ...Hoe & Co., New York City. 5. Schools for clerks of John Wanamaker, of Philadelphia, and Sears, Roebuck & Co., of Chicago. A. EVENING SCHOOLS. There is no other educational agency which to-day is reaching so large a part of the working people as the public evening schools. Their development, especially during the past quarter century, has been very rapid, and they seem destined to be, for some time to come, if not permanently, the great means of education for the working people. Thej' are reflecting more nearly the needs of the people than ever before and, in doing this, are coming to have characteristics so different from those of the day schools that they are attaining a distinct place in the educational system. Historical.--The early history of the evening schools in this country is so obscure, so little that is reliable has been written in regard to it, that some of the more prominent features of their early development will be given at this place. We may roughly divide the history of these schools into three periods: I. Private schools kept in the evening for pay. These were the same in character as the day schools and were merely a development of the tutorial system. This period extends from early colonial times to about the third decade of the nineteenth century. These schools are significant because (f) they reached a certain class of people--apprentices and others not otherwise provided forj (2) they accustomed the people to the idea of schools in the evening; and (3) they drew attention to the fact that many who were at work needed and desired further education. II. Free evening schools established by benevolent societies for the benefit of the poor. The limits of this period are indefinite. There are traces of it even in...

From David Osborne, the author of Reinventing Government--a biting analysis of the failure of America's public schools and a comprehensive plan for revitalizing American education. In Reinventing America's Schools, David Osborne, one of the world's foremost experts on public sector reform, offers a comprehensive analysis of the charter school movements and presents a theory that will do for American schools what his New York Times bestseller Reinventing Government did for public governance in 1992. In 2005, when Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, the city got an unexpected opportunity to recreate their school system from scratch. The state's Recovery School District (RSD), created to turn around failing schools, gradually transformed all of its New Orleans schools into charter schools, and the results are shaking the very foundations of American education. Test scores, school performance scores, graduation and dropout rates, ACT scores, college-going rates, and independent studies all tell the same story: the city's RSD schools have tripled their effectiveness in eight years. Now other cities are following suit, with state governments reinventing failing schools in Newark, Camden, Memphis, Denver, Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Oakland. In this book, Osborne uses compelling stories from cities like New Orleans and lays out the history and possible future of public education. Ultimately, he uses his extensive research to argue that in today's world, we should treat every public school like a charter school and grant them autonomy, accountability, diversity of school designs, and parental choice.
