Excerpt from An Experimental Program in Elementary Education at Spring Hope, North Carolina: A Report
To Miss Ada E. Valentine and her associates in this experimental work I wish to express grateful appreciation for the work that has thus far been accomplished and to assure them of my heartiest support in the further development of the project at Spring Hope until its influence is felt in all school programs throughout the State.
Miss Annie M. Cherry, the author of this report, has spent the past several months observing and studying the experimental program and has presented herewith a most interesting and a true account of what is happening to the boys and girls as well as to the teachers and parents at Spring Hope.
Too long have we neglected the unsuccessful school child, and in too few instances has provision been made for the successful advancement of each and every individual child enrolled in our schools. Spring Hope truly points the way. May the State as a whole profit by this remarkable and practical example of a more adequate education for every child.
