Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beautifying Our Schools The steadily growing movement in Virginia to beautify the exteriors and interiors of school buildings, and to improve and beautify school grounds, is one of the most hopeful indica tions of our progress. Preventable ugliness is a sin, and most of it, like most ill health, is preventable. The schoolhouse and schoolyard make a decided impression on children who are very impressionable. If the school and schoolyard be ugly, the impression is not a good one. If beautiful, the impression is pleasing and ele yating.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The School Beautiful: 1907 This bulletin has been prepared and sent out for the purpose of calling the attention of teachers, school officers and the general public to the need of our schools in respect to decoration and sani tation. In a word, we believe the schools should be both beau tiful and sanitary. At present it is little exaggeration to say they are neither. The walls of our average schoolrooms, particularly in the country, are dingy and bare. If not bare, then covered with chromos and other disfigurements named pictures. To find a schoolroom having properly painted woodwork, walls and ceil ing, one must search far and wide among country and village schools, while in city schools, rooms that appeal to the artistic sense are far from common.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation. It is the outgrowth of the author's personal experience in the classroom, and his belief that the best results can be obtained only by systematic practice in connection with the regular work.

Download or read book Summer Work in Public Schools Classic Reprint written by Charles W. Odell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Summer Work in Public Schools Former lengths of school years. During the earlier part of the nineteenth century, and even later, it was not unusual for rural and small - town children, especially girls and small boys, to attend school during a considerable part of the summer rather than during the severe winter weather. Probably the chief cause was that because of the lack of good roads and the distances that must be travelled to reach the schools, it was difficult to attend school during the winter. However, as roads were improved and as cities and towns became more numerous, the practice Of having summer terms became less common until it has become the almost universal practice for the longest vacation period of the year to come during the summer months, or perhaps to include all of them. In the larger cities Of the country conditions were different. Many, probably most, of them formerly had school years much longer than is the custom now, with Short vacations including only a small part of the summer. For example, the Commissioner of Education1 has re ported data on lengths of school years about 1841-42. Some of the lengths are reported in days, some in weeks, and some in months. Boston is stated to have had a session of 224 days, Washington of 238, Philadelphia Of and Detroit of 253. That of Cleveland was forty - three weeks in length, that of Chicago forty-eight, and that of. New York forty-nine. Brooklyn, Baltimore, and Cincinnati had eleven-month sessions, whereas Buffalo had one of twelve months. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Schools for Old: The Regeneration of the Porter School There are many reasons why an account of Mrs. Harvey's work should be given to the pub lic. What she has accomplished in Porter Community has a vital message for everyone who is interested in democracy. She has built up a community able to deal with its own prob lems and to work together for a constructive realization of the ideals of our country. She has done this by a method that cannot fail to be helpful to every teacher and social worker. It is a method which takes what is at hand as foundation and builds ideals and character qualities that make for success in any environ ment. The specific reaction upon agricultural problems is the most spectacular result of the work The school set in a farming region has already produced from a typical stagnated dis trict a group of people enthusiastic over farm ing as a profession and equipped to turn their enthusiasm into prosperous, permanent farm homes.

This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Career of an Elementary School Teacher To the lover of children the call of the elementary schools is clearer and more insistent, for here certainly is the greatest need. Modern society is only just beginning to awake to the claims of children. A few, the children of well-to - do parents, are secure in the provision of healthy surroundings, adequate food and clothing, skilled guardian ship of health and safety, and early training in right physical habits, manners, and Speech. Fewer still, not all of these, are sure of a good moral and intellectual environment, of growing up in an atmosphere of art and culture, of taking for granted high principles or religious conviction. These last treasures are to be found in as many poor homes as rich, but the mass of the parents whose children attend elementary schools have little Opportunity of providing for them at home the physical and social. Environment which society owes every Child. Space and air, adequate food and chances of cleanliness, beauty and wisdom have in general to be provided for children away from their homes. It is a wrong system, and we should not accept it as permanent, but meanwhile the best way of altering it is to supply through the school an environment and training which will prevent the next generation from tolerating such a state of things. The nursery schools ought to make possible for all children the sheltered life during their early years which is now only possible for the few. For this to be done we need women with a passion for the service of childhood, pre pared to face the fact, which every wealthy mother acts on unconsciously, that without an army of single women devoted to delegated motherhood, children will never in our existing society be properly brought up at all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The School Arts Book, Vol. 5: September, 1905-June, 1906 It is undeniable that the American democracy, which found its strongest and most durable springs in the ideals of New England Puritanism, has thus far failed to take proper account of the sense of beauty as means of happi ness and to provide for the training of that sense. On the main gate of Harvard University there stands this inscription, taken from New England's First Fruits, a little book published in London in 1643: After God had carried us safe to New England and we had builded our houses, provided necessaries for our livelihood. Reared convenient places for God's worship and settled the civil government, one of the next things we longed for and looked after was to advance learning and perpetuate it to posterity, dreading to leave an illiterate ministry to the churches when our present' ministers shall lie in the dust. That sentence still describes the main objects which present themselves to the minds of the present generation of Americans when they settle a new region or reconstruct an old one houses, livelihood, churches, civil government, and education; and still that order of development commonly prevails, except that education is nowadays put earlier. To that list it is time to add the cultivation of the sense of beauty. Or rather to interfuse that cultivation sympathetically with every item on the list. The Puritan. Establishing himself painfully on the eastern rim of the wild continent, thought rather of duty than of beauty, and distrusted pleasurable sen sations and emotions as probably unworthy of a serious soul, not looking for happiness in this life, but only in the next; and to this day his descendants and followers.

Download or read book School Grounds written by Howard Gilkey and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from School Grounds: Their Design and Development Modern education seeks to contribute to the expansion of the life of the child by providing an environment of beauty - buildings of pleasing architecture and grounds with the charm of landscape gardening. Our school grounds should be attractive, placed where they will conveniently serve their tributary districts according to the best standards of city planning, large enough and of such well chosen topography as to provide amply for playgrounds, parking, borders, and gardens, all so judiciously planned, that their orderliness and obvious wisdom of arrangement become elements of beauty in the unity of the whole. It is advisable to have a well studied plan for every school ground, regardless of size. A definite portion of the funds allotted for building purposes ought to be set aside for the development of the grounds, in the very smallest districts as well as in those which can afford to secure the professional services of a landscape architect. A worthy appreciation of artistic school buildings has been created during recent years, especially in the cities, and in the more progressive rural districts. Construction should be the basis of building design. With this in mind, false fronts are to be avoided, especially that too prevalent imitation of the "mission" style with weird scrolls concealing a simple gabled roof. Closely following the desire for good architecture has come an understanding of the value of landscape development. Our schools have assumed a more important role in community life through the wider use of the buildings and playgrounds as public meeting places. The location of such an important feature should receive. careful consideration from the viewpoint of modern city planning.
