Book excerpt: Excerpt from Self-Surveys by Teacher-Training Schools For the most part our studies of schools our surveys have been of the examination and report order, similar to that used by the concern whose owners want to know the present status of their enterprise; there has usually been no connection between the study and constructive measures to correct those things found not to be right. It has been as though the expert accountant had made a report and gone away, and the business had been allowed to go on in the same old loose and unscientific fashion or as if the physi cian had been called to make a diagnosis, and afterwards no use had been made of it to change the conditions surround ing the patient. The educational survey, a discussion of which forms most of the subject matter of this volume - the survey of Wis cousin's eight normal schools is one of the most notable so far made, in a number of particulars. It was begun, and so far as concerned the school with which he is now con nected, practically completed, before the writer entered the service of the normal-school system, so that he can speak of it without personal interest or bias.
