Excerpt from Circulars of Information of the Bureau of Education, Vol. 1: 1885; City School Systems in the United States The educational element of civilization forms no exception to this general drift of things. Methods of teaching have nothing to do with national boundaries. The best is the best everywhere. The essential elements of a good school system are the same in every country. There is only one best way of securing and retaining efficient teachers. A model primary school in Paris, with its appurtenances, apparatus, fittings, and program, would be no less a model primary school in Wash ington. If Germany has worked out the model school room, all nations must copy it. If America devises the best school desk, it must go to the ends of the civilized world. Prussia institutes the normal school; every other nation adopts it. The really good local thing, the outgrowth of educational laws, that stands the test of experiment. In time becomes general. In the mean time innumerable whims, fancies, and strange vagaries claim attention for a longer or shorter period, then disappear, leaving no beneficial trace; hence, reference to foreign examples be comes indispensable to our purpose.

Excerpt from Circulars of Information of the Bureau of Education, Vol. 1: 1873 Latin eloquence declined in Italy from the first days of the empire natural eloquence was supplanted by rhetorical trickery. Poetry shone in its greatest splendor during the reign of Augustus. It was a reflec tion of the bright light that had been kindled in Greece, but during the reign of Tiberius it lost its natural beauty and its serene gracefulness; men of deeper thought sought refuge in stoic philosophy, while the governing power found its chief support in the thoughtless multitude. It flattered their insatiable desire for sensual enjoyments, and built the Coliseum, the true temple of. Caesarism. It is a fact worthy of note that in those times of trials, of terrors, and of insane orgies, Spaniards represented in Rome the Spirit of old Rome; and the accession to the throne of two Spanish nobles, Trajan and Hadrian, once more arrested the fatal course of the empire hurrying to destruction, and made a brief but brilliant era in the history of Roman art and literature.

Excerpt from Circulars of Information of the Bureau of Education, 1886: Proceedings of the Department of Superintendence of the National Educational Association at Its Meeting at Washington, February 23-26, 1886 The teacher is the sine qua non, and having the teacher, the school will in good time have all else needful. The housewife said that the introduction of the new and beautiful sofa had given her a new and newly furnished house in place of the old; and more surely will the introduction of a good teacher into a worn-out district be the begin ing of a renovation, not to end till the last cobweb of antiquated and obstructive trash has been removed. The supply of capable teachers includes two distinct processes: First, the exclusion of the incapable, under the general law, I suppose, that nature abhors a vacuum end'if the incompetent can be kept out, the competent will come in. I must not take the space of this paper in noting the details of this important duty. I can only say here that it is of the first importance; that, this duty being neglected, the ranks are filled with incompetence, which destroys the demand for good teach ers, and with persons who neither do anything nor give promise of im provement.
