The study of the Gary Schools was undertaken by the General Education Board at the request of the Board of Education and the City Superintendent of Gary. The results of the study will be published in a series of special reports, dealing with the more characteristic or important aspects of school work at Gary, and the present volume which endeavors to present a general account of the entire system. In the writing of this volume, the separate reports have been summarized in the chapters dealing with their respective subjects.

It Will be promptly followed by detailed studies of (i) Organization and Administration, (2) Costs, (3) Industrial Work, (4) Household Arts, (5) Physical Training and Play, (6) Science Teaching, and (7) Measurement of Classroom Products.
