Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a report detailing the findings of a committee appointed by the New Jersey State Senate in 1909 to investigate the public school system. The report draws on questionnaires sent to school districts across the state, as well as public hearings and testimony from superintendents and state officials. It offers an extensive examination of school finance, including revenue sources, distribution of funds, and the impact of the state's railroad tax on school budgets. Allegations of impropriety and misuse of funds are discussed, with specific examples cited from districts including Weehawken and Guttenberg.

It concludes with a series of recommendations for reforms to improve the transparency and accountability of school finances and to ensure that school funds are used effectively and in the best interests of students.
