A Brief Centennial History Of The Newark Public Schools

Founded in 1908 as New Jersey Law School, Rutgers School of Law, Newark possesses a distinctive spirit of excellence, opportunity and innovation. From the beginning, the school welcomed women and the children of immigrants. For the past forty years, its student body has embraced racial, ethnic and socioeconomic diversity, literally changing the face of the legal profession. Rutgers Law has pioneered clinical legal education, instilled in its students a commitment to social justice and public service and counted numerous top scholars and practitioners among its faculty. Not infrequently in its first one hundred years, Rutgers Law has overcome societal, governmental and economic upheavals. Now, new challenges confront it. Distinguished professor of law Paul Tractenberg chronicles the first century and looks with optimism to the future.

Excerpt from Newark in the Public Schools of Newark: A Course of Study on Newark, Its Geography, Civics and History, With Biographical Sketches and a Reference Index The November Round Table was devoted to the ques tion of how to give greater prominence in our schools to Newark; to its history, growth, and government; to its libraries, parks, playgrounds, and educational system; to its advantages for commerce, manufactures, and resi dence. The opening of the New York tunnels, the projected ship canal, the assured reclamation of the Newark Meadows and their suitability for great business enter prises needing transportation facilities by land and sea, the sharp rise in real estate values throughout the city and the suburbs, the erection of new high schools, and the universal demand for industrial training - all point unmistakably to the dawn of a new day for Newark. These questions come within the scope of the new definition of patriotism as a sentiment that begins at home and regards the conservation of all home resources of health, happiness, business, good government, and, above all, of sound minds and sound bodies in our chil dren, as a question touching the citizen far more closely and laying on him a far more pressing duty than the conservation of water rights in Montana or of coal fields in Alaska. It is for us to see that our city is not without honor among its own children, and also to see that they have this new patriotism and the larger vision fitting them to grapple with and master the civic problems of the future which is theirs.
