About this book

The Reconstructed School is by Francis B. Pearson, who is named in the front matter as "Superintendent of Public Instruction for Ohio." The preface says, "In general, the aims and purposes of the worker determine the quality of the work done." The preface says the pages "represent an effort to point the way toward larger and better results in the realm of these variables."

A passage says, "We descant volubly upon the subjects of citizenship and civilization but, as yet, have achieved no adequate definition of either of the terms upon which we expatiate so fluently." A passage on good citizenship says, "A good citizen according to the Chinese conception may differ widely from a good citizen in the United States." A passage says, "The school, at its best, is a favorable situation for self-education."
