This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin and Ideals of the Modern School ON October 12, 1909, Francisco Ferrer y Guardia was shot in the trenches of the Montjuich Fortress at Barcelona. A Military Council had found him guilty of being head of the insurrection which had, a few months before, lit the flame of civil war in the city and province. The clergy had openly petitioned the Spanish Premier, when F errer was arrested, to look to the Modern School and its founder for the source of the revolutionary feeling; and the Premier had, instead of rebuking them, promised to do so. When F errer was arrested the prosecution spent many weeks in collecting evidence against him, and granted a free pardon to several men who were implicated in the riot, for testifying against him. These three or four men were the only witnesses out of fifty who would have been heard patiently in a civil court of justice, and even their testimony would at once have.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Writing in English: A Modern School Composition It would doubtless be presumptuous to imagine that this book, as a guide to the preeminently important school subject of learning to write English, avoids all the faults of its predecessors, or contains more than a portion of their merits. But unless a text-book is thought to possess some definite advantages over the others in its field, it has no excuse for being. Attention is therefore directed to the following prominent features of this elementary treatise on Writing in English: - 1. The general plan of the development of the subject is noteworthy, as proceeding from the study and production of entire compositions, in the first chapters, to the study of the next order of composition-units, well-made paragraphs, then to sentence-construction and, at length, to the smallest units of composition, words. Since it would, however, be unwise to complete any one of these great divisions of the subject before attending at all to the others, this general order, while it is kept in view throughout, is modified as shown in the Table of Contents; to which, and to its prefatory note, attention is requested.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Course of Study in the Work of the Modern School The first requisite in any undertaking is determining and defining the results sought. This is true whether the task be a simple one, such as purchasing a suit of clothes, or a complex one, such as developing a city water system or drafting a state constitution. In an institution so complex as the public school system, it is fundamentally important to conceive clearly the results to be sought through the elaborate process of education. It is a complex and difficult process in the work of each day; yes, in the teaching of each lesson and in the direction of each exercise. Not only so, but it is rendered further complex and difficult by reason of the fact that it extends over many years of the child's life. Not alone is the process complex because of the long time it occupies, but it is further complicated by the growth changes and by changes from other causes which take place in the child during the period of his school training. Then, too, because several different teachers will help in the child's education before it is completed, it is very necessary that each have a clear understanding of the results public education should secure so that every teacher who tries to aid in the child's education may be aiming for the same results. It is evident that any fundamental attack in developing a course of study must first define clearly both the general and specific aims of the school system in which it is to be used, in order that all of its details may be planned and, shaped to the end that the course of study may be uniquely adapted, to the accomplishment in the most direct and economic fashion of the projected aims. The truth of this general proposition will become evident to any one who will recall his history of education sufficiently to note how curricula have been modified and reshaped with each succeeding aim or purpose of public education which has been proposed. A brief survey of the aims of education and of the moulding effect of each aim on the curricula of the time will afford a needed perspective in approaching our task. Early Aims of Education. There have been many changes in the conception of the purpose of the public schools during historic times. As the time when the amount of knowledge possessed by the race was very meager - so meager that it was all necessary as a means of eking out a mere scant existence - the function of the school was to fit each individual to earn his living, or to earn his "bread and butter." Living, then, was merely a food, clothing, and shelter problem, and so the aim of the school was correspondingly limited and narrow.

Download or read book Modern Americans written by Chester Milton Sanford and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Americans: A Biographical School Reader for the Upper Grades Tell us about real folks. This is the request that comes to us again and again from children in the upper grades. In response to this appeal, the authors, in preparing Modern Americans, have attempted to give the pupils the worth-while things they like to read rather than the things adults think they ought to like. Those who have taught reading very long agree that the old time hero stories have always had a peculiar charm for pupils. But all the heroes did not live in olden times; they are with us today. Why, then, isn't it well to acquaint the children with present-day heroes? Young people in the upper grades are especially interested in the men and women who are actually doing things. They desire to study in school the persons they read about in the daily papers. Elihu Root recently said: It seems sometimes as if our people were interested in nothing but personalities. To bridge the gap between our schools and practical everyday life has become one of the chief concerns of the wide-awake teacher. Accordingly, in geography we are studying the industries about us In English, civics, and history we are devoting an increasing amount of time to a consideration of Current Events. All this is in the right direction; for, to create an interest in the men and women of the hour and the social activities of the day makes for an intelligent citizenship. Acquaint the people with the great men of any period and you have taught them the history of the period, says Carlyle. Know the past, if possible; know the present by all means.

Download or read book The School in the Modern Church Classic Reprint written by Henry Frederick Cope and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The School in the Modern Church "Sunday School" is the title to which four generations have been accustomed; no one who knows the field of religious education can doubt that the next generation will use a new title. The change to the name "Church School" is significant, however, only because it indicates developments in the scope and functions of the school. These developments seem to call for a practical exposition which will aid any school to enter into the fulness of its opportunities. These chapters on the ideals and the practical problem? of the new type of school are not written so much for the schools consciously marching in the vanguard, and those schools which know they are "new" and up-to-date as for those which, while accepting and following the newer methods, still must struggle with inadequacy of equipment, meagre support, and ignorance and indifference, resulting in a lack of team-play on the part of their churches. I have tried to keep in mind schools which I have known in suburban areas, in the country-side and in villages, the kind of schools that would include probably between eighty and ninety per cent of all the Sunday schools in North America.

This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Point of View of Modern Education This little book is the substance of lectures before Mothers' clubs delivered from month to month through a series of years. It is an effort to make application of some of the recent discoveries in science to the training of children. The now generally accepted theory of the growth of the human race through the ages, and of each individual born into the world in modern times, is that known as evolution. The old education was founded upon a radically different view of the world and of man. Educational practice, especially in later generations, has not been consistent with its theory, in many important respects, and progressive teachers have felt handicapped by a doctrine which was opposed to their methods. Every institution of the social world is now adjusting itself to the theory of evolution. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Modern School of Art Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Wilfrid Meynell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Modern School of Art, Vol. 1 Phryne, for instance, intended to render the subject with nothing of the somewhat trivial feeling with which the undraped figure is often treated in modern art. He presented Phryne as a Greek would see her - a Greek of a world to which the great ascetic religions, and the rebellions against them, were equally unknown. To this Greek the beautiful woman was a revelation of the high gods, and the contemplation of her beauty a reverential act. Sir Frederick Leighton painted the figure, therefore, with insistence upon its merely sensuous loveliness, and yet with gravity of feeling. Something of the same intention inspired the Cymon and Iphigenia, which followed a year or two later. In this beautiful composition, however, the painter presents the idea with medizeval modifications. Here the woman is not a Phryne, but a high-born and innocent lady, and the man's admiration is not a sufficient and complete act in itself; it leads him to educate himself and mend his manners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Short Stories: A Book for High Schools For many years high school teachers have wished for books of short stories edited for high school use. They have known that most novels, however interesting, are too long to hold attention, and that too few novels can be read to give proper appreciation of form in narration. The essay, as seen in The Sir Roger de Coverley Papers, and in Irving's Sketch Book, has been a poor substitute for the short story. High school students have longed for action, for quickness, for life, for climax, for something new and modern. Instead, they have had hundreds of pages, long expositions, descriptions, leisurely treatment, and material drawn from the past. They have read such material because they must, and have turned, for relief, to short stories in the cheaper magazines. The short story is to-day our most common literary product. It is read by everyone. Not every boy or girl will read novels after leaving school, but every boy or girl is certain to read short stories. It is important in the high school to guide taste and appreciation in short story reading, so that the reading of days when school life is over will be healthful and upbuilding. This important duty has been recognized in all the most recent suggestions for high school reading. The short story is just beginning to take its important place in the high school course. To make use of a book of short stories in high school work is to fall in line with the most modern developments in the teaching of literature in the high school.
