Download or read book Classroom Libraries for Public Schools Classic Reprint written by Buffalo Public Library and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Classroom Libraries for Public Schools The first purpose of this graded list is to furnish to teachers a convenient cata logue Of the books which the Public Library has to this date devoted to school use. We hope, by having such a list, to secure the aid of the teachers in the choice of each classroom library, so that the books may be suited to the age and capacity of the Children, and helpful both to teachers and pupils in connection with the course of study. The list is only tentative, and other books will be added from time to time, both from old books found to be needed and from new books published, as the wants of the schools require and the resources of the library will permit. The library will be very glad of suggestions from teachers, both as to changes in the list and the addi tion of new books. The selection of the books and the division into grades was first made on the basis of the reading from the Children's Department of the Public Library. The first selec tion and division was very carefully revised after trying the books in the classrooms of ten schools for a full year. The assignment of the books to the different grades has been changed and modified, particularly in the subjects of travel and history, to meet the requirements of the course of study. For instance, Cofiin's books on United States history have been continued into the ninth grade, although they are not above the comprehension of much younger readers, because American history is studied in this grade, and these books are found very useful and are much sought after. Librarians, superintendents of education and teachers in other cities, to whom the list may come, will find it Open to criticism, both as to books omitted, books included which perhaps should have been left out, and as to the assignment to grades. After a longer trial of the books by further use, and a larger experience by the com pilers, we will try to issue a better and fuller list with subject entries. The suggested list of reference books is also only tentative. It is added because it is a part of our plan to build up a good reference library in each school. The entire amount of the state appropriation awarded to those schools under the library care will be expended for this purpose each year, the Public Library furnishing all the books for the pupils' home reading.

Download or read book A First Book in English for High Schools Classic Reprint written by A. L. Murray and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A First Book in English for High Schools One of the reasons for the publication of A first book IN english is the belief On the part of the authors and the publishers that a better text of this kind is needed one that is thoroughly adapted to use in the majority of American high schools. To write such a book has been the purpose of the authors, who have brought to the work years of classroom experience in the teaching of English composition to pupils of the junior and the senior high school ages. Principles. Throughout the first book IN english the authors have kept clearly in mind the fundamental problems of English com position: (i) The problem of something to speak or write about; (2) the problems of gathering, evaluating, and organizing material; (3) the problems of expressing thoughts correctly, clearly, sincerely, and pleasingly; and (4) the problem of adapting what is spoken or written to a definite audience or to a definite body of readers. An ex amination of the lessons in this book will Show that these fundamentals have been made basic considerations. Nowhere in the book is there a discussion of the principles of unity, coherence, and emphasis as such. At the same time, the habit of ex pressing unified thoughts coherently and with emphasis is fixed through practice. The pupil learns to present unified, coherent, well-emphasized thoughts by learning through practice to express thoughts that he has first carefully selected, organized, and evaluated. The young pupil should not be confused with abstractions. He must learn by doing. Throughout the book the developing interests and abilities of boys and girls are carefully gauged and considered.

Download or read book Before Books Classic Reprint written by Caroline Pratt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Before Books These school records, written by the classroom teachers from Copious daily notes, are organized according to a plan that has been adopted after much painstaking study and co-operative effort on the part Of the school staff. They are in themselves experimental. Their publication invites criticism and suggestions in matters of form as well as of content. Indeed, as Miss Pratt has stated, the purpose Of the school in publishing its records is to secure discussion Of them, and Of the school procedure pictured by them. TO those readers to whom the story of The City and Country School is as yet unknown, the following details will be of interest. Miss Pratt began her experiment in 1913 with a small group Of children Of pre - school age gathered from various homes. In the neighborhood. Dur ing the early years of its development the experiment was maintained through the generosity Of a few private donors. In the beginning tuition was entirely free, but parents who were interested and able to do so, from time to time con tributed to the school funds. Recently, at the request Of the parents, tuition fees were adopted, but at the same time it was agreed that a large percentage Of scholarship pupils Should at all times be enrolled. In this way the school's original purpose, to serve children who would normally be found in the city's public schools, has been preserved, at the same. Time that its growing reputation has attracted many parents whose children would otherwise have been sent to private schools.

Download or read book A Standard Library Organization Suggested for Missouri High Schools Classic Reprint written by Henry Ormal Severance and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-10 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Standard Library Organization Suggested for Missouri High Schools The standard library organization varies with the size of the school. The larger the enrollment, the greater should be the library facilities. A school enrolling 500 pupils should, for instance, have more books in the library than a school enrolling 50 pupils. The library of a high school which enrolls 300 pupils should have a full-time professionally trained librarian, whereas the library of a high school which enrolls only 100 pupils can be well cared for by a teacher-librarian who has pursued a short course in library methods. A separate room is practically necessary to accommodate the library in a high school of 500 pupils, but a classroom or a section of the study hall may answer this purpose in a high school of only 50 pupils.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from High School English Book One The chapter on Conversations about Books seeks to ih dicate a method for classroom discussions about the books prescribed for the work in literature. The authors believe that reading for pleasure is the chief aim of the literature work, and that the books should therefore be discussed from this point of view. They believe that the class dis eussions should be familiar conversations confined to topics of interest to young people. They would therefore leave the minute analysis of books for style and structure to the fourth high school year or to the college class.

This book was released on 2017-11-12 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Instructional Alternatives for Exceptional Children There is an increasingly powerful movement in American edu cation, of which recent court decisions are only one indicator, to hold the public schools of the nation responsible for providing quality education for all children, regardless of exceptionality. Consequently, for many exceptional children, the responsibility will be interpreted as education within the regular classroom. The public schools must become institutions that accept and foster human differences rather than delimiting or eliminating them. Schools and the personnel who staff them must act as facilitators to enable children to become what ever they are capable of becoming, not only without regard for race, sex, or economic status, but without regard for any exceptionality.
