Book excerpt: Excerpt from Political Education at a Public School Alike shown a rare courage and devotion which has kept hope alive during the nightmare of the last three years. But such things are a tribute to the spirit of man, not to that of the Public Schools. Many writers - men like Mr Shaw, Mr Wells, and Mr J. A. Hobson - leave one with the impression that the only thing to do is to make a clean sweep of the whole evil system. Concentrating in the main on one issue, they see in the Public Schools the strongest bulwark of those reactionary forces of class selfishness and narrow patriotism which form the most dangerous opposition to the coming of a genuinely free and united democracy. Few who have honestly faced the facts will consider their accusation groundless; and at first sight the conclusion seems inevitable. Nevertheless, the Public Schools are supremely worth preserving. Reaction ary often in effect, they and the Older Universities stand almost alone in a commercial age of five per cent. Loans as being in the ultimate intention liberal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The School and the World IN December, 1917, the present writers wrote a little book entitled Political Education in a Public Schoo in which they put forward their views as to what the aims and methods of a modern liberal education should be. They also described certain experiments which they had been permitted to make in one of our old English Public Schools, experiments which both illustrated the authors' principles and tested their value. In July, 1918, that book was published. But in the intervening seven months several things had happened. On the one hand, Political Education had produced further striking evi dence of its power over boys' intellects and characters, evidence altogether more striking than anything that had occurred up to the time of writing the book. On the other hand, the movement in the full tide of its success ran upon rocks and has been, for the time being at any rate, utterly and completely destroyed. The authors have left the school in which their experiments were made. When the book was published, its reviewers in the press raised one by one a series of problems which we had already encountered in a practical shape in the course of our work, problems hardly touched on, however, in our book, which was devoted to exposition rather than argument. Such problems were: How far is political propaganda inseparable from political education, and in what respects is such propaganda desirable or undesirable? How can political differences among the masters themselves be made to play a helpful rather than an injurious part? Does the introduction of politics into the curriculum open a way, as the very able reviewer in The Westminster Gazette suggested, for Prussianism in its most insidious form, the conscription of educated opinion? Are the old Public Schools the best medium for political education, or should the new wine be poured into new bottles? And lastly - for educational subjects are or should be but aspects of a single whole - what of political education in relation to morality, and to religion?

Download or read book The Politics of Education written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-21 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Politics of Education: The Problem of Free Education Considered The subject of Free Education suffers under two serious disadvantages, which tend to bias unfavourably the public judgment. In the first place, the ever-increasing claims of the Education Department upon the taxpayer, together with the gourd-like growth of School Board claims upon the ratepay er, try the public patience to a 'degree which reaches the point of alarm, when further millions are asked' for in order to free our elementary schools from the payment of fees. In the second place, Free Education has, unfortunately, been made a party cry, and, as a consequence, the advocates of the fee system come to the discussion of the question with the appearance of party feeling and a lack of sympathy for the poor. The Conserva tive instinct that leads us along the old ways which have served us well in the past, until we see our way clear to something better, thus plays as it were into the hands of extremists, and gives to destructives a seeming monopoly of sentiment and sympathy for distress. If there is any one subject that should be lifted out of the sphere of party politics it is that of national education, the influence of which is universal and permeates every grade of society and every individual citizen. The example of our clergy, who, ' Conservative by tradition, office, habit, and feeling, nobly bore, for generations before the era of School Boards.

Download or read book Handbook of Education Politics and Policy written by Bruce S. Cooper and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-10 with total page 663 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised edition of the Handbook of Education Politics and Policy presents the latest research and theory on the most important topics within the field of the politics of education. Well-known scholars in the fields of school leadership, politics, policy, law, finance, and educational reform examine the institutional backdrop to our educational system, the political behaviors and cultural influences operating within schools, and the ideological and philosophical positions that frame discussions of educational equity and reform. In its second edition, this comprehensive handbook has been updated to capture recent developments in the politics of education, including Race to the Top and the Common Core State Standards, and to address the changing role politics play in shaping and influencing school policy and reform. Detailed discussions of key topics touch upon important themes in educational politics, helping leaders understand issues of innovation, teacher evaluation, tensions between state and federal lawmakers over new reforms and testing, and how to increase student achievement. Chapter authors also provide suggestions for improving the political behaviors of key educational groups and individuals with the hope that an understanding of political goals, governance processes, and policy outcomes may contribute to ongoing school reform.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public Education in the South This book is the outgrowth of several years' study of public educational problems in the United States, especially in the South, through courses in the history of education given at Trinity College and the University of North Carolina for teachers and prospective teachers and administrators. In such courses the aim has been to consider the principal problems of administration, support, and supervision of present-day education in the Southern States and to seek an understanding of their meaning in the light of their historical growth. The book is therefore a study of actual educational progress in the South rather than of educational theories and the relation between education and economic, social, political, and religious influences is given emphasis.

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.
Download or read book Government in the United States written by James Wilford Garner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government in the United States: National, State, and Local Merits of Local self-government. - In the United States, local self-government is regarded as one of the chief merits of our political system, and is often declared to be one of the inalienable rights of the people. One great advantage of local self-government is that it brings government near the door of every citizen, and permits the people of each locality, who are most familiar with their own local condi tions and who know best what are their local needs, to regu late their own affairs as they see fit. Also, such a system is well calculated to secure responsibility. So long as the local authorities are chosen by the community from its own inhabitants and are constantly under the eyes of the people, they can be more effectively controlled and made amenable to local public opinion than is possible where they are chosen by authorities distantly removed. An other irnportant advantage of local self-government is that it serves as a training school for the political education of the citizens. Allow them the privilege of choosing their own local officials and of regulating their own local concerns, and their interest in public affairs will be stimulated and their political intelligence increased and broadened. This not only will tend to secure more responsible government (local, state, and national), but will produce a moreoactive type of citizenship.

This book was released on 2019-01-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Preparing College Men and Women for Politics Although as a judge I am precluded from all contacts with politics, I look back on the 29 years I spent in the public affairs of Essex County, New Jersey, as the most useful in my life. It was hard work, but I crave for young men and women of the rising generation a satisfaction similar to mine in helping to give their communities honest, effective government in the public interest. I am convinced that our college men and women, whose education has provided them a solid background for their activity, can supply the strongest possible constructive force in the politics of this country by working with their party organizations in their home communities. It was with these thoughts in mind that I encouraged the establishment of the Citizenship Clearing House at the Law School of New York University. Its great objective is to put outstanding young college men and women in touch with opportunities for participation in politics on a self-respecting basis. Contrary to popular notions, no young man or woman of intelligence and character need fear participation in politics if he or she is prepared to give rather than to get. It is gratifying that the idea of the Citizenship Clearing House has received wide acceptance among leaders in education, law and politics.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The State and the City I must speak on a highly technical subject which I have not myself chosen, and must give utterance to conclusions which have been forced upon me, which I have not arrived at willingly, and I am afraid that I shall certainly be a distributor of that kind of gloom of which the President of the University of Minnesota spoke so feelingly last night. I find myself envying those gentle men who were assigned genteel subjects like The University and the State, or The Evils of Liberal Education in a State School System. One who talks of politics can hardly be genteel, and I am going to talk of politics. I shall not attempt to say any of those fine things that might be said of the relation of the state and the city with regard to many other features of very common life. I shall say something about the relation of the state and the city in regard to the schools. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Citizen and the Republic: A d104-Book in Government In introducing an educational reform there is always danger of over-emphasis; there is danger that we may not have a good thing without having too much of it. The authors of this volume, while emphasizing community civics and the moral purposes in teaching government, have sought to avoid a one-sided course. They believe that the schools should study the community and such new civics as the changing times call for, and especially that they should give attention to current history and present day problems of democracy; but it is equally important not to neglect certain aspects of the old established order. It may be well to set pupils to the laboratory method of studying the actual life of our city communities, how milk and water are supplied, how food is distributed, how public health is pre served, how the streets are kept clean (or dirty), how the taxes are raised and used, and how the schools are sustained. But to limit a high school course in civics to such a field of study is to commit a great wrong to young people who are under training for citizenship.
