Excerpt from Maryland Teachers Year Book: For the Information Use and Guidance of Officials and Teachers of the Public Schools of the State of Maryland, 1919-1920 The Maryland teachers' year book represents an effort on the part of the State Department to furnish suggestions for the improvement of public school work along a few definite lines. The final test of the efficiency of classroom instruction is the changes effected in pupils themselves. Public schools exist only for the children. All the expenditures of money, time, and effort are made for the proper moral, physical, and intellectual training of the children of our State.
