Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual Training in the Public Schools of Philadelphia It is well, also, that we should be on our guard against a kind of pseudo manual training that is finding its way into the schools. As is always the case with new move ments, there is a good deal of experimenting with little knacks, which do nothing for either discipline or knowl edge. These are put forward by well-meaning persons as manual training, and great harm is done in this way in misleading the public and wasting the time and energies ofpupfls.

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.

Download or read book Prevocational and Industrial Arts Classic Reprint written by Harry Einsley Wood and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-12 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prevocational and Industrial Arts With these thoughts in mind, the authors of this book have endeavored to present various lines of work in such a fashion that pupils of the grammar grades or prevocational period may understand and make use of them; that high school or vocational school pupils may profitably use them for informational or manipulative suggestions and that individuals, who are not in school, but who are seeking help in the details of the crafts covered in this volume, can find the guidance which they need. It is impossible to cover all of the details of each craft in the brief space allotted to each subject in this volume, but sufficient details have been given to enable the reader to do effective work in the subjects under consideration. No courses of study are suggested in this book. A variety of projects have been suggested, some of which will appeal to pupils in a city or village and some of which will appeal more particularly to pupils in a rural community, but it is left to the instructor or individual to evolve his sequence of work. By means of this breadth of selected projects and the group arrange ment of the book, it is made easily adjustable to the needs of any local situation. At the same time information on work outside of the particular community is brought before the pupils. It is the idea of the authors that the projects given in this text be used as suggestive material and redesigned or developed to suit the individual needs of the pupil. The mere fact that one subject is presented in this book before another, does not necessarily mean that it should be studied in that order; in fact, it may not be possible or advisable to undertake all of the lines of work suggested because of inadequate equipment or lack of interest in some subjects in certain communities. It is hoped that in this text a real need in the school will be met. It has been developed by the authors at the suggestion of educators who have felt the need of a book which would set forth the informational side of manual arts in connection with a variety of subjects and projects of an industrial character. In this way content is emphasized as well as skill. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seventeenth Annual Report of the City Superintendent of Schools, 1914-1915: Survey of the Gary and Prevocational Schools While I would be the last to claim that this test is final or that it renders an effective decision against the Gary system for this city, it is fair to say that it raises a strong presumption against the general introduction of the Gary system into this city. The conclusion obviously is that neither the Gary system. Nor the prevocational system should be further extended, until the schools in which they are being tried make a better exhibition of efficiency. Mr. Buckingham has done a fine piece of work in his formula tion of the results of these tests and in his temperate, impartial, and judicious statements.

Download or read book Country Schools for City Boys Classic Reprint written by William Starr Myers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-02-17 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Country Schools for City Boys However, what the public at large has failed to accomplish for all the children private individuals have been able to accomplish for a few of the more fortunate. The idea of the country school for city children, supported by private tuition and private means, as worked out practically at Baltimore, has extended in some degree to all parts of the country and will probably become quite common. The story of this movement, as told by Dr. William Starr Myers in the accompanying manuscript, is both interesting and suggestive and should be known to all who are working for the betterment of the material conditions of schools for city children. I therefore recommend that this manuscript be published as a bulletin of this bureau and would call especial attention to the suggestions made by Dr. Myers as to the possibility of applying this principle to the public schools. It is quite easy to see how this might be done for the public high schools, at least of most cities, with little or no additional cost to the public for buildings, grounds, and equipment, or to indi vidual parents and children for transportation. It has frequently happened in the history of education in this and other countries that movements for the betterment of the public schools have begun in a small way with private schools as the result of the enthusiasm and earnestness of only a few individuals. It is sincerely hoped that this movement, begun at Baltimore in a private way and already extended to a dozen cities, may become a great national movement for the betterment of the public schools, in which the great masses of children are educated.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Preparing for the World's Work: A d104-Book in Prevocational Civics At every point where the temptation is strong to leave school we should foil the sirens' power by the Orphean music of the advantages of and the responsibility for continued education. To find one's best place for service, and to become fitted to give one's best service, are the greatest civic responsibilities of American youth. This is a proper goal for civic education in the sixth or seventh grade. The author acknowledges his deep indebtedness to Doctor J. Lynn Barnard, director of social studies for Pennsylvania, whose interest and assistance have been unstinted and invaluable, and who has given the manuscript a careful and critical reading; to Doctor John M. Brewer, director of the Bureau of Vocational Guidance, Harvard University, who has also given the manuscript a careful reading; and to Superintendent Sidney V. Rowland and Miss Emily S. Patterson of Radnor Township, Pennsylvania, fellow committee-members, whose share in the final result is larger than either is willing to admit. To these and to many other fellow workers in the field of education who have freely given time to discuss the work as it has developed, and have greatly assisted in keeping it in line with its main purpose, the author expresses his obligation for any merit the book may contain.
