Excerpt from The Report of the Annual Examination of the Public Schools of the City of Boston, 1849 The question as to the expediency of continuing the system of the Schools with two independent head mas ters has long been agitated. In the Report of last year, the arguments on both sides were briefly stated. We have heard no complaint made, in any of the Schools conducted on this system. We believe there are none, in which the masters do not act with perfect harmony of feeling and purpose, and there are certainly no bet ter Schools, than some of those which are thus conduct ed. We think ourselves warranted by experience, in saying, that this harmony of action can be obtained in every School, and that if it were understood that discord would lead to such changes as would remove that evi1, we should very seldom hear any complaints on the subject.
