Excerpt from Final Report, 1913: Committee on School Inquiry, Board of Estimate and Apportionment Presenting Summary of Conclusions of the Inquiry Conducted by the Committee To the Honorable, The Board of Estimate and Apportionment. Gentlemen: - The Committee on School Inquiry, of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, appointed pursuant to a resolution adopted by this Board on October 26, 1910. herewith presents its final report. The report comprises three volumes, and consists of the report of the Committee and the reports of the various specialists employed by it. It was originally the intention of the Committee to take up in conference with the members of the Board of Education the reports of the various specialists before the submission to the Board of Estimate of the Committee's final report, in order that its report might be based upon the consensus of opinion of the members of the Board of Education, as well as the members of the Committee. The work of the inquiry, however, has consumed so much more time than was originally expected, and other matters of great importance have demanded so much of the time of the members of the Committee, that it has been impossible to conduct the proposed conferences. The Committee feels that more will be gained by submitting the entire results of the inquiry at the present time, while there still remains an opportunity to secure constructive results during the life of the present administration, than would be gained by undertaking a conference at this late date. Your Committee submits herewith a brief outline of the results and general conclusions of the school inquiry for the consideration of the Baird of Education, and indicates the salient facts relating to its origin, plan and significance. (I) Co-operation Between the Board of Estimate and the Board of Education Established. Your Committee is able to report that there is now nothing to prevent the fullest cooperation between the City Government and the Board of Education in the development of the public schools.
