Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Arts in Our Elementary Schools Americans should be proud of our democratic claim that free education is provided in each public rural and urban school in the United States. However, our taith in this boast cannot carry much conviction, either with ourselves or with others, unless the elementary schools are seriously concerned with those human activities that contribute most in preparing for the many-sided demands which confront all intelligent consumers and worthy citizens. If our elementary industrial arts courses are to continue to occupy an important place in the program for elementary education, they must soon be subjected to the same general tests and judged by the same high standards that apply to the other elementary school subjects. The relative possibilities in the different plans for realizing common objectives also must be determined more scientifically than heretofore. These brief reports dealing with the various units of elementary industrial arts work and study, which were successfully organized and conducted by Miss Hunter and the several other teachers named in connection with their respective contributions, were collected for the 1921 Yearbook by the Industrial Arts Committee of the National Society for the study of Education. Since it did not prove expedient for the Society to publish Part III of its 1921 Yearbook, which was to have included these suggestive reports, it has been recommended and urged that this carefully planned and tried material on promising experiments for developing industrial courses and projects to meet the psychological This committee was composed oiL. A. Herr, G.H. Hargitt and A.H. Edgerton, chairman. and social needs of elementary school pupils should be revised for publication as a handbook for teachers of industrial arts in elementary schools. In order that all concerned might derive the most help from these valuable units and projects, it finally has been decided to present them in connection with the findings and implications resulting from this investigation of 141 public school systems. The educational needs of today seem to call for instruction which aims(1) to develop the pupils general and special capacities and(2) to prepare him for the demands which the future is going to make upon him. But it is obvious that the early conception of the rudiments of elementary education, involving some skill in reading, writing, and arithmetic, altho still important, will not begin to suffice either in aiding pupils who continue their school work to choose their courses more wisely in secondary education, or in helping those who might find it advisable or necessary to leave school with a minimum amount of education to choose their respective procedure more thotfully. While it has long since been agreed that, if possible, children should be sufficiently well prepared in school so that they may exercise intelligent judgment in weighing values and in choosing their future courses of study and work, the traditional curriculum has quite frequently failed to furnish those concrete experiences and reliable facts pertaining to the social, the economic, and the larger personal aspects of our most important life occupations, all of which could help to make this possibility a reality.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fine and Industrial Arts, in Elementary Schools During the past few years the amount of new subject matter relating to the fine and industrial arts in elementary schools has rapidly increased.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Industrial Arts in Elementary Education As we look back over this growth in the conception of a school study we wonder that advancement has been so slow. Industry from the first demanded of education that it be made industrial, not merely that it be made manual. The result of our inability to understand the demands made by industry has been that manual activities have flooded our schools; manual activities, activities specifically manual and decidedly unindustrial. School courses have been limited to one or two materials, easily obtained and easily worked, because teachers have persisted in holding fast to the old exploded theory that the acquisition of skill should be the ultimate aim of all industrial courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Education in the Elementary School The history of the teaching of manual training is one of the most interesting chapters in the evolution of the elementary school. Manual work was introduced into the curriculum at the beginning of the present period of educational unrest; and, because it had no fixed traditions to hamper its progress, responded most fully to modem educational principles. When manual training was inaugurated in our schools, the public supposed it was to serve a practical industrial purpose; but the laity had not reckoned with the schoolmaster and school tradition. The teacher proceeded to make manual work a mental discipline rather than a practical utility, - a fallacious distinction long held by his craft. The new study was made into a set of formal exercises, rather than a group of interesting problems. The chief emphasis was laid on the practice of technique. The need of the child to express himself in manual activities that fulfill his desires was completely subordinated if not overlooked.

Download or read book The Elementary Industrial School of Cleveland Ohio Classic Reprint written by William Nicholas Hailmann and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elementary Industrial School of Cleveland, Ohio In his report for the year 1908, Dr. Andrew S. Draper, commissioner of education of the State of New York, established the fact that current school systems still confine themselves too exclusively to preparation for professional life; that, even where they have consented to consider the claims of commerce and of certain technical pursuits, the aim lies toward preparation for positions of management and control; and that neither in the elementary schools nor elsewhere do the trades and the industrial life of the people receive adequate attention. It is gratifying to note that this inadequacy is more and more keenly felt and that efforts to supplement it are becoming more and more pronounced among public-spirited citizens, among employers and workers, parents and educational leaders. We meet these efforts in the form of private and public trade schools, apprentice schools, continuation schools, industrial schools, and in a variety of provisions for so-called vocational guidance; most hopefully, however, in distinct propositions and experiments looking to a reorganization of the public school with a view of meeting this need without loss, but rather with gain, to other vocational interests and to general liberal culture. Among these experiments, the Elementary Industrial School of Cleveland challenges more than passing interest, not so much because of vastness of plan or results, but because of the direct bearing of its work upon certain fundamental shortcomings and traditional onesidednesses of current systems. Its organization was hastened by certain statistical data collated under the direction of Supt. W. H. Elson.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Course of Study in Industrial Drawing: An Elementary Manual for the Self-Instruction of Teachers and Pupils of Public and Private Schools In the practice of my profession as a teacher of industrial drawing, it has been my custom for many years, to select from all sources What I thought most appropriate for my pupils. As a result, I found myself engaged in a course so different from any already published, that I was compelled to write this book for use in the schools under my supervision. Although the materials selected are old, the manner of hand ling them Will be found to be quite my own. Every example has been thoroughly tested in the school room and proven satisfactory, not only When in the hands of the special instructor, but also When used by the regular teachers. This is really a revised and enlarged edition of my work upon the same subject published last year. Several years of practical draughtsmanship in architectural and engineering offices, and a long and varied experience as a teacher in all the grades and classes of the public schools, have shown me the need of a drawing manual to meet the in creasing demands for a practical education, so large a part of Which education lies in the knowledge of industrial drawing, a study so necessary and yet so little understood by my fellow teachers and the public generally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gateways to Art and Industry During the last decade, the kindergarten has generally become the accepted first grade of public schools, especially in large cities. Its recognition demands the development of instinctive impulse - emphasis on social co-operation and kindliness, and work based on active, expressional and appreciative, rather than technical, analytic, and receptive values in education. Where the work is well done, these characteristics have given it a constantly increasing respect. Where the work is neglected or in the hands of inefficient or unintelligent people, it suffers from criticism a little more than does dishonest or unsatisfactory work in higher grades. The reason for this is, that it is a newer phase of education, that its values must be apprehended by an intrinsic standard, and that in some cases the young teachers lack the power to adjust themselves intelligently and definitely to the larger work of the school curriculum.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Domestic Science and Household Arts for Use in Elementary Schools: A Manual for Teachers According to a prevalent theory of education, the child acquaints himself with the various objects of his environ ment in order to have a basis of choice in his after life as well as to develope his observing faculties. The knowledge which he consciously or unconsciously gains in his early years remains indelible, as do the letters lightly cut in the bark of a young sapling, which may be read even more distinctly in the grown tree. Owing to the rapid changes in environment, economic, industrial, mechanical, and social, ' - many a teacher finds herself at a loss in trying to aid her pupils to find their place in a world which is almost as new to her as to them. Where everything is in a more or less plastic condition, firm foothold is not possible, and the already overworked teacher is not able to search out the truth from the multi tude of books, to understand the new processes, to keep up with the daily inventions.
