Excerpt from Ohio State Educational Conference Proceedings, 1922 Let us forget for a moment the subject announced and journey into the past - a trip on the "time machine" - to take a look at the beginnings of education in Ohio and to think for a little while about the early educational policies and the men who advanced them. For twenty years after Ohio became a state there was no legislative act which created or recognized a public-school system, and for thirty-five years there was no "free" school in Ohio outside Cincinnati. A state fund for the support of common schools was first proposed in 1838. Almost forty years passed before supervision for the township and county schools was mentioned, and it required fifty years thereafter to make the township the school unit and supervision a nominal reality. And it was not until 1914, seventy-five years after it was first proposed, that county supervision was finally established. Despite the many loud and insistent calls therefor, state-supported normal schools did not conic into existence until a century after Ohio became a state. It was just fifty years before the state became in earnest about a central state administrative officer called variously a "superintendent," a "commissioner of common schools," or a "director of education." It was almost a half-century before a state teachers' association was born, and the first effective school journal was not launched until that time. Public-school superintendencies by that name, even in the cities, were almost unheard of before 1840, and public high schools were rare before 1850; indeed, township high schools were not authorized until 1853. There are various statutory landmarks on the public-school domain in the first half-century of Ohio history which we should now notice.

This unique volume brings together four of Moliere's greatest verse comedies covering the best years of his prolific writing career. Actor, director, and playwright, Moliere (1622-73) was one of the finest and most influential French dramatists, adept at portraying human foibles and puncturing pomposity. The School for Wives was his first great success; Tartuffe, condemned and banned for five years, his most controversial play. The Misanthrope is his acknowledged masterpiece, and The Clever Women his last, and perhaps best-constructed, verse piece. In addition this collection includes a spirited attack on his enemies and a defense of his theater, in the form of two sparkling short plays, The School for Wives Criticized and The Impromptu at Versailles.
