Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Public School Society of the City of New York: With Portraits of the Presidents of the Society
The plan of the work is simply chronological. The chapters are devoted to periods of longer or shorter duration, marked by some special event, which is made the occasion of a pause in the narrative. The controversy relative to the school fund, 1822 the legislation and reorganization of the system in 1826, the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum controversy in 1831, and the great school controversies of 1840 are made the subjects of special chapters, in which the facts relative thereto are collected without disturbing the narrative of the text.
