Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Trustees at Their Fortieth Meeting: New York, 7 November, 1901, With the Annual Report of the General Agent, Hon. J. L. M. Curry In our country, a contest for elimination of public schools from municipal and partisan interference, from demands for doctrinal and partisan teaching, from restriction of courses of study by caste or race discriminations, has been carried on in different localities, but malign influences have been scotched if not killed, and the friends of popular education have been much inspirited by victories won in cities and States. Educational exhibits, more and more rational and instructive, embracing academic, scien tific, and industrial departments, have become an acceptable feature in all city and State Fairs. The Paris Exposition of 1900, to use a happy phrase of President mckinley, our hon ored and lamented colleague, a time-keeper of the world's progress, was exceptional in the prominence given to school work, and aroused great interest in Europe in some of our distinctively educational peculiarities.
