Résumé

This article examines the relationship between the physical growth of a rapidly expanding urban community and the growth in complexity and bureaucratic organizational patterns of that community's public school system. In the generation preceding the First World War, Calgary grew from frontier settlement to mature urban, commercial centre. During the same period of time, formal schooling in Calgary passed through several stages of bureaucratic growth, from that of private-venture schooling in 1884 to that of a complex urban school system in 1914.
