Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education and the Larger Life It is the purpose of the present volume to make a large inquiry, - the inquiry as to how education can be so applied in America as to best further the progress of civilization. The term civilization may be used to mean either the sum total of what man is doing in the way of material and intellectual achievement, or else the force underlying this achievement, the inner soul of it. Education has a similar double meaning. It is the outward, visible result of an inner experience, or it is the movement of the inner experience itself. No complete view of life may lose sight of either meaning. They stand, indeed, in the relation of effect and cause. It is important, however, upon which meaning we place the emphasis. The outer aspect of civilization is history, the inner aspect is philosophy. The outer aspect of education is knowledge, the inner aspect is development. In a practical inquiry like the present, it is more helpful to deal with causes than with effects. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Child Life and the Curriculum Bobby was one of my foremost pupils in a village high school. He was fourteen years old but small in stature. At times his face was radiant with boyish joy; at other times his face bore the serious demeanor of a judge. Bobby was one of the very first to reach the playground at recess time. After recess he was among the first to open his books for study. He played with those younger than himself because the younger ones played the more. In the classroom he worked with those older than himself because with these his good mind had more companionship. He was punctual, regular, and reliable in both work and play. But before the close of the year a marked change took place in Bobby. He played less and studied less. Something was wrong with the boy - or with the school. As his teacher, I had come directly from a classical college. I required all my students to take Latin and mathematics. English grammar and history also were emphasized. Hard work and vigorous drill characterized my school policy. I wondered what caused the change in Bobby. One day three of my grade teachers reported to me that Fred, known in the school and in the town as "the worst boy in school," had been asked by Bobby to join his gang. He declined, saying that that gang was too bad for him. My Bobby's gang too bad for Fred? Thus through Fred it was discovered that Bobby was the leader of a gang which had as one of its purposes: How to make swearing easy. These boys held regular and irregular meetings in a little covered bridge near the pastor's house. There they exercised in their self-chosen art. Explanation of the changed attitude of my favorite student was now clear. The usual play at recess had not provided the needed activity.

Download or read book Democracy and Education written by John Dewey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1916 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boyhood: A Plea for Continuity in Education I have appealed to fathers and mothers of boys, I want now rather to appeal to the masters of public schools, and to the great public Opinion whose influence alone can alter, if it will but rouse itself, so much that is disastrous in the life of the boys in public schools. The life of a boy in a preparatory school of the best sort is not much different from the life of a boy in a home of the best sort. The family is much larger, the love of the father and mother are not there, it is not a boy's life at its highest and best; but it is very good, and in the discipline, order and obedience to personal authority the likeness to home can be maintained.

This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from National Education and National Life These brief essays are chiefly intended to appeal to the large class of which the writer is a member - the class of local educational administrators, who, as Managers of Provided and Voluntary schools, as Governors of Endowed Secondary schools, are inti mately in touch with educational conditions. It is true that the Managers of Elementary schools have little direct power, and that the powers of the governing bodies of Secondary schools tend slowly to decrease, as the control of local authorities and of the Board of Education increases but, in fact, the power by way of influence of Managers and Governors is very great. This vast class of unknown men and women who give freely of their time to local educa tional problems, plays, I believe, a part of far reaching importance in the evolution of national education and national life. Were it not for this class, administration would become purely mechanical and bureaucratic, and the human, as opposed to the official, element would have hardly any place in our educational administrative system. The Managers very often know not only the teachers and the children, but also the parents, and convey to the minds of all directlyconcerned in the working of the educational machine, the knowledge that somebody is really interested in them and in the results produced. The great danger that threatens the development of our educational system, is its tendency to become purely mechanical and unconscious of the inspiration that springs out of a mutual esteem existing between administrators and those whom administration affects. If School Managers and School Governors can carry into the actual school buildings both sympathy and high educational ideas and ideals, there is a work done for education that no Legislation could accomplish. I have, therefore, ventured to indicate in these brief essays certain principles that underlie educational advance, and I think, perhaps, that those principles will appeal to some of the many thousands of School Managers who are daily visiting the great and small schools of. The land. If any of the questions with which I have dealt reach, through the agency of this little book, the stage of discussion between parents, teachers and managers, the end aimed at will have been attained. I am sure that Opportunities should be devised for the meeting together of parents, teachers and managers at fairly frequent intervals. All three classes invariably gather strength and hopefulness from such meetings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scholar's Larger Life The warm recognition and the public favor given to the several parts of this volume abundantly justify the editor in making this compilation. Happily the to-be-or-not-to-be of this publication does not rest upon the opinion of any one individual. When a procedure that touches the people is proposed, it is the custom to grant a "hearing." To the reader some credible witnesses are introduced. What are these among so many? We bind up the available evidence in a sheaf as we cannot use a tithe of it. The bulk of it might be mistaken for a portion of the book. The scriptural number of completeness is seven. To that requirement accordingly, in an appendix to this volume, an attempt is made to limit the testimonials.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education and Life: Or Universalizing the Individual In a treatise intended as a critical examination of formal education, and of its bearing on the intelligent and moral life, it will not be out of place to begin by defining the limits within which such an investigation should be restricted. The scientific method, whether applied within the physical or the mental domain, demands that fundamental laws should be discovered and established from the analysis and explanation of verified facts. Avoiding, therefore, theoretical speculation on the one hand, and the weighing of conflicting opinions on the other, we shall endeavor to set forth the facts which our subject involves, and to investigate the rational ground for the organization of education into a science of life. An examination of the history of education in its progress towards an exact science will show that it has adopted the following assumptions as working hypotheses: 1st. The science of education postulates a supreme value to self-conscious or spiritual life. 2nd. While claiming this supreme value for life, the science must further show that life involves a development toward perfection, which is attainable through effort. 3rd. Again, our science postulates that this effort may not lead toward a life of perfection. It recognizes both perfection and imperfection as possible results from the experiences of life, and affirms the perfect life to be desirable.
