Excerpt from A Biennial Survey of Public School Finance in the United States, 1920-1922In considering increases in school population and school costs which have marked the past quarter of a century, the fact must not be overlooked that no less than 10 States have been admitted into the Union Since 1888. Four Of these States were admitted in the year 1889 and the remaining Six from'1890 to 1912. The rapid development of these new States, their growth in population, and particularly the fact that they came into the Union possessed with marked zeal for public education and vast Federal endowments stimulated them to establish and maintain high standards as to the accessibility and quality of the educational facilities they provided.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
