History of Education in New Jersey, Vol. 23 (Classic Reprint).cDavid Murray

Excerpt from History of Education in New Jersey, Vol. 23 Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith the twenty-third number of the series of contributions to American educational history prepared for the use of this Bureau under the general editorial supervision of Prof. Herbert B. Adams, of the Johns Hopkins University. The present number deals with the State of New Jersey, and has been prepared under the immediate direction of Dr. David Murray, late superintendent of education in Tokio, Japan. In the preparation of this work Dr. Murray has dwelt somewhat more extensively than usual upon the historical development of education in that State. This seemed the more desirable in this early settled colony, where the motives for educational progress were to be sought in the characteristics of widely different primitive colonists. For the same reason it seemed desirable to include in the review the growth of elementary and public education as well as the institutions of secondary and higher education. Dr. Murray has added a chapter on the text-books formerly used in New Jersey, a subject which has received comparatively little attention, in a bibliographical way, from the students of educational history. He has secured chapters also from Dr. David Cole and Dr. John Bodine Thompson, both of whom were active participants in the movement which led to reforms in public education in New Jersey during the middle years of the century and whose contributions are to be considered as original sources on the period of which they treat. The history of the various institutions for the higher learning has been written by distinguished specialists whose names appear in connection with their respective contributions.
