Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Monographs on Education in the United States, Vol. 12: Agricultural Education The first agricultural college to be actually established and put in operation was that of the state of Michigan. Article 13, section II of the constitution of the state of Michigan adopted in 1850, says: The legislature shall encourage the promotion of intellectual, scientific, and agri cultural improvement; and shall as soon as practicable, pro vide for the establishment of an agricultural school. This was the first state constitution to provide for the establish ment of an agricultural school. It is noteworthy, also, that it was the first one to provide that all instruction in the dis triet schools Should be conducted in the English language. The act establishing the state agricultural college of Michi gan was passed on February 12, I855. The college was located upon a farm of Some 500 acres, situated about four miles east of the city of Lansing; buildings were erected, and the college was formally opened in May, 1847. The legislature of Maryland incorporated the next agri cultural college in 1856, which was, however, in part a pri vate institution. Some five hundred citizens of Maryland, and of the District of Columbia, together with a few from adjacent states, subscribed to a certain amount of stock, which the legislature required should be provided. The stockholders elected a board of trustees, and this body located the college upon the estate of Charles B. Calvert, Situated in Prince George county, about nine miles east of the city of Washington. The institution was opened for students in September, 1859, when Professor Joseph Henry of the Smithsonian institution, delivered a handsome oration.

This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Monographs on Education in the United States, Vol. 1 Spontaneity is the keynote of education in the United States. Its varied form, its uneven progress, its lack of sym metry, its practical effectiveness, are all due to the fact that it has sprung, unbidden and unforced, from the needs and aspirations of the people. Local preference and individual initiative have been ruling forces. What men have wished for that they have done. They have not waited for state assistance or for state control. As a result, there is, in the European sense, no American system of education. There is no national educational administrative machinery and no national legislative authority over education in the several states. The bureau of education at Washington was not established until 1867, and save in one or two minor respects, its functions are wholly advisory. It is absolutely depend ent upon the good will of the educational officials of the states, counties and municipalities and upon that of the administrative Officers of privately-conducted institutions, for the admirable and authoritative statistics which it Col lects and publishes year by year. That these statistics are so complete and so accurate is evidence that the moral influence and authority of the bureau of education are very great, and that it commands a co-operation as cordial as it is universal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Monographs on Education in the United States, Vol. 13: Commercial Education Business Teachers' Association in the following pointed words: The training which the american commercial college gives its pupils, while good in a way, is extremely narrow and little more than rudimentary. It cannot properly be called business training, it is merely clerical training. While this kind of training may have satisfied the requirements in the past, and while there may continue to be a certain demand for it in the future, I believe the time has arrived when the American commercial school Should cease to be a purely clerk factory and educational repair shop, and should assume the duties and position of a real business training school. In order to do this it must raise the standards, broaden and deepen its course of study and lengthen its time requirement. Its present standards both for admission and graduation are too low, its course of study too narrow and shallow, and its time requirement too short. It is useless to expect to attract and hold high-grade students with low-grade standards, or thoroughly to train young people for the duties of busi ness life with the present course of study, and in the time now given to this work. The preparation for business life ought to be as thorough as for professional life, and I believe that the time is not far distant when it will be. It should be said, and in the same sense, of the gradu ates Of our commercial schools as it is said of the graduates of our best technical schools, viz., 'that the business world not only finds that it can afford to employ them, but that it cannot afford not to employ them.' There is a good demand for thoroughly trained men - not merely clerks in all departments of business, and the commercial school ought to be able to supply that demand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Monographs on Education in the United States, Vol. 11: Scientific, Technical and Engineering Education The earliest technical schools, those of a hundred years ago or more, almost without exception grew out of the industrial demands of the locality in which they were founded. One of the best examples is the famous School of mines at Freiberg which has enjoyed a long and illustrious career and many of the earlier European schools belong to the same class. To these and the more modern schools of science and technology the United States is greatly indebted, especially on account of the generous welcome that has always been extended to American students and for the inspiration with which many of them have returned to take their part in the wonderful educational evolution which the last half century has witnessed. But in all cases European methods have been adapted rather than adopted. Political, social and material condi tions have largely in uenced educational foundations, and while the nearly one hundred schools of science and engi neering scattered over the United States have many points of resemblance, there is much individuality, particularly among the strongest and best, and it is believed that their several types represent important advances in the direction of scientific and technical education which will not be with out interest to educators in other parts of the world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Monographs on Education in the United States: Educational Organization and Administration But while they began to be interested in education it was because they saw that schools would help the individual and so promote virtue and extend religion. It did not occur to them at the first that the safety of the new form of govern ment was associated with the diffusion of learning among all the people. This is not strange, for the suffrage was not universal at the beginning of independent government in America. Therefore, while the desirability of education was recognized, it was understood to be the function of parents to provide it for their children, or of guardians and masters to extend it to their wards and apprentices. When schools were first established they were partnership affairs between people who had children in their care, and for their con venience. They apportioned the expense among themselves such as had no children were without much concern about the matter.
