Description

Excerpt from The Educational Progress of the Year (1903-1905) One of the most important events which has taken place in recent educational history is the visit of the Mosely Commis sion of England to this country in October, November, and December, 1903. The two reports which were the result of this visit, one made by the Education Commission and the other by the Industrial Commission. Have created intense interest both in England and in this country, and are regarded here as an eminently fair and just criticism of the state of public education in the United States. Mr. Alfred Mosely. A Mem ber of Parliament and a man prominent in the commercial and' financral world of England, brought to this country twenty seven educational experts to inspect and report upon various features of the educational and social life of the United States. Mr. Mosely frankly states that his inspiration for this un wonted enterprise was his admiration for the brilliant exploits of American engineers in the development of the diamond mines of South Africa some fifteen or twenty years ago. The success of these engineers. He says, turned my atten tion to the United States, and some years ago I paid my first visit there for the purpose of seeing what sort of country it was that was responsible for sending so many level-headed men to the Cape. So far as I was able to ascertain the form of education given in the United States was responsible for much of its success, and I returned home determined if possible to get together a party of experts to visit the country and test the soundness of my conclusions.
