It would render more rapid and more thorough, the improvement of scholars in all the elementary branches of common education. Seventh. It would set an effective example for other schools, in this and other states, for rendering their systems more natural, practical, and moral, in their operations, and thus render American Education more adequate to the purposes of a Republican Government. On each position here taken, facts can be adduced, of such a character, and in such abundance, as to convince any candid mind, that their soundness and feasibility, are no less evident than their importance. Though it would trespass much too largely upon your time to go into an exposition of the measures referred to, two or three facts among thousands of a similar character, showing that provisions may easily be made for employing usefully the physical, intellectual, and moral energies of children, Which, to a fearful extent, are now running to waste, or to absolute and alarming evil, may be admissible. A joint circular, by Dr. Reese and Mr. Seton, sent to the teachers of the schools, about three weeks before their late recess, resulted, before they closed, in not less than ten thousand elementary Cabinets of Geology, for nearly the same number of families, collected, assorted, and labelled by the pupils; securing, in very many instances, a hearty interest and essential aid from their parents and other friends. Public School No.15, collected, prepared, labelled, and distributed, not less than four hundred such cabinets in one day. They then prepared some specimens of Geology and Geomety for sending to Syracuse, to be exhibited to a convention of teachers, and presented to the schools of that village. In return for those specimens, just received from Syracuse, are a collection of plants and a small cabinet of minerals, principally collected from the salt-works, accompanied by two appropriate and well written letters; one directed to the girls, and the other to the boys, of New York Public School No.15, which collections I send for your examination. With that I send a box prepared during the vacation, by a small boy in No 16, and some specimens of wood prepared by a former pupil of No.17, now learning carriage making on Long Island, and sent to his brothers, still members of that school. The box was made by the father of the first boy named, who collected and labelled the minerals, who is a piano-maker. He has promised his little son, that he will polish the box, and make another for his little sister. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Public School Methods Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-08 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public School Methods, Vol. 1 Many people who purchase books fail to derive the greatest benefit from their purchase because they do not at first take the trouble to become acquainted with the plan and Scope Of the work. The editor Of Public School Methods wishes to forestall this difficulty by urging every purchaser of a set Of these volumes to read the Preface and Foreword as the first step in the use of the work. In vol. III, Chapter IX, Books and Libraries, will be found specific directions for using books, and every teacher will find these directions helpful in showing her how to use Public School Methods. The second feature to which we wish to call special atten tion is Plans for Teaching. These plans follow the chapters on all the common branches, and carry the work Of each subject through the year for each grade. In the first grade they even go into details for each day's lesson. In the others they outline the work for each month. The plans follow the most recent courses Of study. They have been prepared by those who have devoted many years as practical teachers; consequently, they are thoroughly practicable. Nothing is suggested that has not proved successful wherever it has been tried. Teachers will find these plans a safe guide, and their use will save much time and effort which can be profitably spent in other ways. The close relation existing between the Kindergarten and the first grade in the public schools has been recognized, and both the Kindergarten and primary teacher will find the chapter Kindergarten especially helpful. This Chapter was pre pared by Miss Katharine Martin Of the School of Education, University of Chicago, and is strong and practical throughout. Many new stories with illustrations have been added to the chapters on Reading, and the teachers will find this new material valuable in making the connection between the lessons on the blackboard and those in the primer. It also furnishes excellent material for supplementary reading. The chapter on Language by Miss Achsah May Harris Of the State Normal School, Emporia, Kansas, is replete with methods, suggestions and material covering this important work for the first three grades. Every page Of this chapter is practical and the suggestions can be applied in any school. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address to the Public: Particularly to the Members of the Legislature of New-York, Proposing a Plan for Improving Female Education The object of this Address, is to convince the public, that a reform, with respect to female education, is necessary; that it cannot be effected by individual exertion, but that it requires the aid of the legislature; and further, by shewing the justice, the policy, and the magnanimity of such an undertaking, to persuade that body to endow a seminary for females, as the commencement of such reformation. The idea of a college for males will naturally be associated with that of a seminary, instituted and endowed by the public; and the absurdity of sending ladies to college, may, at first thought, strike every one to whom this subject shall be proposed. I therefore hasten to observe, that the seminary here recommended, will be as different from those appropriated to the other sex, as the female character and duties are from the male. The business of the husbandman is not to waste his endeavours, in seeking to make his orchard attain the strength and majesty of his forest, but to rear each, to the perfection of its nature. That the improvement of female education will be considered by our enlightened citizens as a subject of importance, the liberality with which they part with their property to educate their daughters, is a sufficient evidence; and why should they not, when assembled in the legislature, act in concert to effect a noble object, which, though dear to them individually, cannot be accomplished by their unconnected exertions.

This book was released on 2016-10-07 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History and Present Status of Instruction in Cooking in the Public Schools of New York City Fortunately, the time has also been ripe for the rapid development of original investigations at home and abroad along the lines of chemical and biological studies relating to the food and nutrition of man. Among the agencies which have enjoyed relatively ample means for the prosecution of scientific inquiries in this direction have been the Division of Chemistry and the Office of Experiment Stations of this Department. Much Of this work has been done in cooperation with colleges, experiment stations, social settlements, and other organiza tions in different parts of the country. The investigations pursued by other Divisions of the Department have also contributed considerable information of value to students in domestic science. Special efforts have been made to acquaint officers and teachers of schools of differ ent grades with the results of this work and the publications of the Department are now widely used in connection with such courses of instruction. The accumulating mass of accurate data in this line of scientific inquiry has enabled teachers to systematize and strengthen their lessons on foods and cooking, as well as on the general principles of nutrition. It has also shown the necessity of more thorough train ing of teachers of domestic science in order that their instruction may be based on definite knowledge and that they may be able to distin guish between what is mere theory or matter of opinion and what is actually ascertained fact.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, 2009 Outstanding Book Award, History of Education SocietyWinner, 2009 Richard Slatten Prize for Excellence in Virginia Biography, Virginia Historical Society Conceptual founder of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, William Barton Rogers was a highly influential scientific mind and educational reformer of the nineteenth century. A. J. Angulo recounts the largely unknown story of one man's ideas and how they gave way to the creation of one of America’s premier institutions of higher learning. MIT's long tradition of teaching, research, and technological innovation for real-world applications is inexorably linked to Rogers’ educational philosophy. Emphasizing the “useful arts”—a curriculum of specialized scientific study stressing theory and practice, innovation and functionality—Rogers sought to revolutionize standard educational practices of the day. Controversial in an era typified by a generalist approach to teaching the sciences, Rogers’ model is now widely emulated by institutions throughout the world. Exploring the intersection of Rogers' educational philosophy and the rise of technical institutes in America, this biography offers a long-overdue account of the man behind MIT.
