Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Administration of County High Schools, in the South, Vol. 6 This study of the administration of county high schools in the South was undertaken primarily with the hope of determining, so far as the facts found seem to warrant it, a conclusion, founded on something more than a personal opinion, as to whether the county, as a unit of secondary administration, should be advocated for high schools throughout the United States. The increasing prominence of the county, as a unit of supervision; the recognition the county has been receiving in recent legislation, as a unit of school administration; and the increase in the number of county high schools which have been organized during the last decade, were the further reasons for the study being made at this time.
