Z year IN doing so. An i'll conceived enrolment
card might waste thousands Of hours and dol

a miniature rebellion or start an epidemic.
Real lizing this the reader can pick up the pres

the auspices OF the New York Committee

tack its many tables. charts and technical
analyses Of minute administrative problems
without feeling that It is al much ado about
nothing.
Professor Snedden and Nj. Allen here present
six studies valuable TO all teachers, principals,
s,-re-intendents and school board members, but
scarcely less helpful to all intelligent citizens
who are anxious 10 make every dollar OF school

noses of educational statistics are carefully dis

ness in school reports Of the leading American
cities is laid bare in detail. Even the least sta
tistically inclined OF all laymen cannot fail 20
note the futility of many specimen reports here

even guess whether the schools under discussion
were properly distributed the teaching staff

generally well spent. On the other hand, New
York City might learn much from a few un-
usually competent school boards and superin-
tendents in other towns
The last three chapters doubtless contain the
authors best and most fruitful work Here
appears prodigious list Of Important aues-
uons not answered by existing reports" These
questions are classified according to topic and
also the frequency with which they have been
touched upon in local and other reports. Al
though few OF these queries are not impor-
1ant, the list as a whole is significant testifying
not only TO the thoroughness of it's dEafters but
lso 10 the magnitude and seriousness of the
school problem. The investigators close with
several pertinent suggestions for easy, effective
reforms IN school reports generally and with
practical study OF one New York City report
IN particular. A scientifically precise use of
