Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Educational Reformers I made my proposal that he rewrite his book be cause I knew that he considered his first edition hastily written and, in many respects, not adequate to the ideal he had conceived of the book. I knew, moreover, that years of continued thinking on a theme necessarily modi fies one's views. He would wish to make some changes in matter presented, some in judgments rendered, and many more in style of presentation. Hence it has come about that after this lapse of time Mr. Quick has produced a substantially new book, which, retaining all or nearly all of the admirable features of the first edition, has brought up to their standard of excellence many others.

This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teacher Essays and Addresses on Education The papers of this volume fall into three groups, two of the three being written by myself. From my writings on education I have selected only those which may have some claim to permanent interest, and all but two have been tested by previous pub lication. Those of the first group deal with ques tions about which we teachers, eager about our im measurable art beyond most professional persons, never cease to wonder and debate: What is teaching? How far may it influence character? Can it be prao ticed on persons too busy or too poor to come to our class - rooms? To subjects of what scope should it be applied? And how shall we content ourselves with its necessary limitations? Under these diverse head ings a kind of philosophy of education is outlined. The last two papers, having been given as lectures and stenographically reported, I have left in their original colloquial form. A group of papers on Har vard follows, preceded by an explanatory note, and the volume closes with a few papers by Mrs. Palmer.. She and I often talked of preparing together a book on education. Now, alone, I gather up these frag mentsn. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Learning and Living written by Ephraim Emerton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Learning and Living: Academic Essays 0 find a suitable title for these essays written at different times and under widely difl'ering circum stances has been no easy task. Each of them was the result of some special impulse pointing to some rather special treatment. They have grown out of a long and varied experience covering important changes in method, an enormous material expansion, a porten tous professionalizing of the university career and an almost complete revision of the academic vocabulary. It is these changes and these expansions that have most sharply caught the attention of the intelligent public. The constant struggle to maintain the higher ideals of education, to separate the permanent from the whimsical and the transient, escapes observation and passes unrewarded. If these scattered academic essays are read together there appears through them all the reflection of this struggle. This does not mean, I trust, that they are the echoes of a forlorn conserv atism trying to hold its own against the resistless march of change. On the contrary, they try to point the way to changes still more radical because they go down to the ancient roots of all sound human culture. The threads that run through them all are: the value of hard work done as by God's law; the free dom of the teacher to teach and of the learner to learn; the discipline of the remote aim and the responsibility.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cambridge Essays on Education Our idea has been this: at a time of much educational enterprise and unrest, we believed that it would be advisable to collect the opinions of a few experienced teachers and administrators upon certain questions of the theory and motive of education which lie a little beneath the surface. To deal with current and practical problems does not seem the first need at present. Just now, work is both common as well as fashionable; most people are doing their best; and, if anything, the danger is that organisation should outrun foresight and intelligence. Moreover a weakening of the old compulsion of the classics has resulted, not in perfect freedom, but in a tendency on the part of some scientific enthusiasts simply to substitute compulsory science for compulsory literature, when the real question rather is whether obligatory subjects should not be diminished as far as possible, and more sympathetic attention given to faculty and aptitude.

Download or read book Bill s School and Mine written by William Suddards Franklin and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bill's School and Mine: A Collection of Essays on Education The greater part of the essay, Bill's School and Mine, was written in 1903, but the title and some of the material were borrowed from my friend and college mate William Allen White in 1912, when the essay was printed in the South Bethlehem Globe to stimulate interest in a local Playground Movement. The second essay, The Study of Science, is taken from Franklin and MacNutt's Elements of Mechanics, The Macmillan Company, New York, 1908. I have no illusions concerning the mathematical sciences, for it is to such that the essay chiefly relates. Unquestionably the most important function of education is to develop personality and character; but science is impersonal, and an essay which attempts to set forth the meaning of science study must make an unusual demand upon the reader. Some things in this world are to be understood by sympathy, and some things are to be understood by serious and painful effort.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Essay on Education It has long been my intention to publish an essay on educa tion, as my last work. In the meantime, men Of learning have been engaged, from the most disinterested motives, in the same field. They have done much good, for which they have received the thanks of every true friend of our common country. This essay will not, nor is it intended, to supersede the use of what others have heretofore published on the same subject. But, although all that has been published on education is valuable, yet the whole mass is too voluminous for common readers. A condensation of much that has appeared into a small space, seemed to the author to be a desideratum, and that is all that this small volume pretends to be. It has been my object to condense as much useful matter as possible into a small com pass, adapting it to the age In which we live, and to the repub lican institutions of our country.

Download or read book Literature in School written by Horace Elisha Scudder and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literature in School: An Address and Two Essays The motive which urged our fathers to the establishment of schools was professedly drawn from religion; the motive which impels us to-day is professedly drawn 'from politics. If you could have asked John Cotton why it was well that the children of Massachusetts Bay should be sent to school, his reply would have been, that they might learn to fear God. If you ask yourselves why the Commonwealth provides common schools, the answer is, that the children may become good citi zens. In the former case the conception of religion was bound up with the conception of a particular ecclesiastical order; in the latter, the conception of politics is limited by the special form of society in which it has play. The former anticipated the political conception, for the germ of a free state lay imbedded in the combined theocratic and com mercial company; the latter has not lost the reli gions conception, for it guards jealously the vested rights of religious bodies. In both cases the human mind is seen struggling toward a larger liberty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
