When the light of the 18th century faded into that of the 19th century, there was not a state in the Union, with the possible exception of two, that had adopted a system of free public schools. To-day a system of public instruction is a part of the organic law of every state and territory of the nation, and of nearly every civilized country of both hemispheres. The whole world is coming to realize the truth of that splendid aphorism of President McKinley, that "Free schools are the necessary supplement of free men." HE City and Borough Superintend-| guished position you hold as the repreents' Association met in Houston Hall, University of Pennsylvania, on Thursday evening, February 8, 1900, and was called to order at 8:30 o'clock, by President Addison L. Jones, of West Chester. He said that ten years ago, when the Department of Superintendence of the N. E. A. met in Philadelphia in Association Hall, and the superintendents of the State met with them on call of the State Department, a paper was circulated calling for a convention of city and borough officers to form an association for consideration of subjects relating to their special work. The association was organized the following spring, at Harrisburg, and has met annually since, in legislative years at the capital, and the alternate year in different parts of the State. The meetings have usually been well attended, and we have been cordially welcomed everywhere. Now we have come back again to our birthplace, and will listen to an address by Dr. Edward Brooks, Superintendent of Public Schools of Philadelphia. DR. BROOKS' ADDRESS. I esteem it a privilege and an honor, representing the teachers of our public schools, to extend to you, members of the convention of Superintendents, a cordial welcome to Philadelphia. We have reason to feel honored at the meeting of your body in our city, not only on account of the important cause you represent, but for the distin You are the distinguished representatives of this great cause of public education. Standing at the head of the body of teachers in your various cities and boroughs, you are the accredited exponents of the highest thought and broadest views, and best methods of organization and instruction in the state. By virtue of your position it is assured that you are gentlemen of scholastic culture, of matured views upon educational systems and doctrine, of large experience in public school work, and possessing those personal characteristics and accomplishments that fit you to become leaders in your profession. Such a body of men and women representing such a cause, meeting in any city, must assuredly be regarded as an honor to that city; and with such an appreciation of yourselves and your cause, I repeat the welcome already so cordially extended to you. With this high appreciation of your visit to our city, permit me to say that it is not unfitting for you to meet in Philadelphia, a |
