This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical Education, Volume I by Maria Edgeworth PREFACE. We shall not imitate the invidious example of some authors, who think it necessary to destroy the edifices of others, in order to clear the way for their own. We have no peculiar system to support, and, consequently, we have no temptation to attack the theories of others; and we have chosen the title of Practical Education, to point out that we rely entirely upon practice and experience. To make any progress in the art of education, it must be patiently reduced to an experimental science: we are fully sensible of the extent and difficulty of this undertaking, and we have not the arrogance to imagine, that we have made any considerable progress in a work, which the labours of many generations may, perhaps, be insufficient to complete; but we lay before the publick the result of our experiments, and in many instances the experiments themselves. In pursuing this part of our plan, we have sometimes descended from that elevation of style, which the reader might expect in a quarto volume; we have frequently been obliged to record facts concerning children which may seem trifling, and to enter into a minuteness of detail which may appear unnecessary. No anecdotes, however, have been admitted without due deliberation; nothing has been introduced to gratify the idle curiosity of others, or to indulge our own feelings of domestic partiality. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Pedagogy This work is designed to present in a brief, concise manner a few principles and rules of teaching, and to discuss their application to methods and management in public or common schools. Only such rules and principles are presented as the author has been able to apply successfully year after year in actual schoolroom work. Necessarily, therefore, the work is brief; but it is hoped that it is vitalized by the true teaching spirit, and that being born of experience it will be of practical value.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Basis of Practical Teaching: A Book in Pedagogy More than twenty years' experience as a teacher, half of which has been as a teacher of teachers, has led the author to believe that there are certain fundamental facts of science and principles of education of which all teachers should have a knowledge. The aim in bringing out this volume is to gather together such facts and principles, and put them in readable form. The book is not a pedagogical treatise which assumes a knowledge of psychology, neurology, and child study, neither is it a text on these subjects. If the author has not failed in his purpose, this volume is a plain statement of certain facts in all these fields interpreted in terms of education. It is hoped that the book will be of special benefit to teachers, students of elementary pedagogy in colleges and normal schools, and to parents. The author wishes to acknowledge the courtesy of the Pedagogical Seminary and the Educator-Journal, in which portions of certain chapters have previously been published.

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 The Training School Quarterly, Vol. 1: October, November, December, 1914 In this way, this new type of rural school would not only be teaching the boys the real practical things with which they are to deal in after life, but also would become a center of community activity for all the people. Of course this new rural school is going to have its course Of study arranged to meet, as far as possible, the requirements of that boy who wants to farm, and can never go to any other school. It should be so arranged as to teach the country girl, who is to be the queen Of some rural home, and can never get any further training than what she gets in this school, just those practical things about cooking, home making, the beautifying Of the grounds, and how to utilize the waste. This new type school necessarily will require a different type Of teacher. Our teacher - training institutions have seen the handwriting on the wall and in the last few years they have begun to emphasize those courses which will equip our teachers for this crying demand. They are today paying higher salaries for teachers to do this work than for their music and art teachers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Normal Teacher, 1880, Vol. 3: A Monthly School Journal, Devoted to the Dissemination of Normal Principles and to Practical School Work This is true, not only in theory, but also in fact. It has been ascertained by careful observations, made by eminent Astronomers at widely different parts of the earth, and by a long series of such observations, that the sun is in motion through space, carrying with it, as it sweeps along, all its planets, satellites, and comets. And very close and careful calculations, based upon these observations have been made, showing also in what direction and with what velocity the whole solar system is moving. Although the sun is nearly three hundred and twenty-six thousand times as heavy as the earth, it nevertheless sweeps through space, carrying with it the whole solar system, with a velocity of nearly miles every day, and nearly four thousand two hundred miles every hour. Yet so immense is the orbit in which the solar system travels, that about four millions of years are required to complete one revolution. When that revolution has been completed, then will the great clock of our solar system have struck - shall I say one, two, or twelve? We can not tell, for the whole history of man is a mere point in time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Elements of Practical Pedagogy Classic Reprint written by Brothers Of The Christian Schools and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Practical Pedagogy Education is often assumed to be mainly a process by which knowledge is communicated or acquired. It is, indeed, all this and much more, for it aims at developing the powers of the mind, training the will, and forming Character. A work on education must, therefore, include the elements of psychology and ethics as well as a detailed account of the canons of pedagogy and accepted methods of teaching. In the following pages, principles are stated and discussed in connection with the practical treatment of the elementary branches taught in the Class - room. Where the abstract is introduced, the concrete application immediately follows. AS the school is to be a nursery of good citizenship, moral teaching accompanies the intellectual, the conscience being formed in accordance with the precepts of religion. Attention has been paid to the vitally important subject Of hygiene in order that the teacher may be fully alive to his responsibilities in regard to the well - being and comfort of his youthful Charges. The value of gymnastics and physical drill as aids in the art Of education, has not been overlooked. Though the present volume is necessarily small, it is believed that no subject of importance has been omitted. A fuller development will be given in a compendious work on pedagogy which is in course of preparation and which will be ready for publication early in the summer.

Download or read book Public School Methods Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-08 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public School Methods, Vol. 1 Many people who purchase books fail to derive the greatest benefit from their purchase because they do not at first take the trouble to become acquainted with the plan and Scope Of the work. The editor Of Public School Methods wishes to forestall this difficulty by urging every purchaser of a set Of these volumes to read the Preface and Foreword as the first step in the use of the work. In vol. III, Chapter IX, Books and Libraries, will be found specific directions for using books, and every teacher will find these directions helpful in showing her how to use Public School Methods. The second feature to which we wish to call special atten tion is Plans for Teaching. These plans follow the chapters on all the common branches, and carry the work Of each subject through the year for each grade. In the first grade they even go into details for each day's lesson. In the others they outline the work for each month. The plans follow the most recent courses Of study. They have been prepared by those who have devoted many years as practical teachers; consequently, they are thoroughly practicable. Nothing is suggested that has not proved successful wherever it has been tried. Teachers will find these plans a safe guide, and their use will save much time and effort which can be profitably spent in other ways. The close relation existing between the Kindergarten and the first grade in the public schools has been recognized, and both the Kindergarten and primary teacher will find the chapter Kindergarten especially helpful. This Chapter was pre pared by Miss Katharine Martin Of the School of Education, University of Chicago, and is strong and practical throughout. Many new stories with illustrations have been added to the chapters on Reading, and the teachers will find this new material valuable in making the connection between the lessons on the blackboard and those in the primer. It also furnishes excellent material for supplementary reading. The chapter on Language by Miss Achsah May Harris Of the State Normal School, Emporia, Kansas, is replete with methods, suggestions and material covering this important work for the first three grades. Every page Of this chapter is practical and the suggestions can be applied in any school. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
