Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems of Secondary Education In the mean time we as a people have experienced vast and far-reaching social and industrial changes, which have profoundly modified almost all phases of life among us, and the end is not yet in sight. From a small and an isolated nation, with simple social and industrial and political problems, we have evolved into a world-power with world-problems to be faced. From a rural and an agricultural nation we have in large part changed into an urban and a manufacturing nation. New social and industrial classes, with new social and industrial needs, have developed among us. Many new trades and callings and professions have been evolved, each in turn demanding special and ofttimes extended training.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems of the Secondary Teacher The problems of education take their character from the nature of man. The ideals of civilization, the social results of the achievements in any age, the impulse towards adventure and the undertaking of advance or reform, all issue somehow out of the nature of man. And in its fundamental aspects this nature is very much the same the world over. When we note the differences of peoples and nations we find that we are dwelling on things they "have put on for the occasion." We are not yet at the bottom. Much of our philosophy, religion and education has been satisfied to build without going to this real foundation, the bedrock of human nature. The market is flooded with pedagogic literature. It seems well-nigh a fad. There seems to be good sense in the demand that one should have some good reason for offering a new book in this field. My reason for offering this book in English dress is its splendid success in the effort to furnish insight into the rich problems of the Secondary School from the profound viewpoint of the fundamentals of human nature and of human society. Jerusalem has cultivated the fields of philosophy, psychology and sociology and it is these that are peculiarly essential to an undertaking of the problems of pedagogy. He has learned much from Spencer in sociology, from Royce in philosophy and from James in psychology. In the treatment of his problems he has dealt with an earnest frankness with everything, with the result that we have a book that must appeal to everyone who really cares for the advancement of the race and has anything like confidence that the school can be made an effective agent in effecting such advance. In making the translation we have eliminated such portions of the book as would have little or no interest outside Austria. The translation is made from the second edition of the original.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Secondary School and Some of Its Problems There are educational questions involving so large an area of interest that they defy treatment at the hand of an individual; a mere enumeration of the problems that attach themselves to our secondary schools would suffice to indicate the unwisdom of such an attempt. On individual questions and groups of questions, thoughtful men and women have concentrated their efforts; to combine their contributions to the various phases of the subject under wise editorial control into a consistent whole, to create a thesaurus of sound opinion on what the secondary school has been, is, and should be, seems the only way of reaching an agreement on the rational conduct of our middle schools. The cooperative idea seems peculiarly appropriate to this need of our educational scheme. As for the present treatise, its title speaks for itself. It has been realized by the author that it is wiser to concentrate attention upon some of the problems of the secondary school and indicate their significance rather fully, than to compass all, or even a majority, of the questions that attach themselves to our system of middle schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The High School Problem It must be evident to all thoughtful persons that the high school stands upon the threshold of a larger career of effectiveness. The utterances in favor of socializing and vitalizing high-school work are prophetic. The changing conditions of life, both social and economic, seem to call for a readjustment in our high-school procedure. This call will be more insistent as time goes on, and the school which fails to heed the call will find itself relegated to a position of subordinate importance as a determining factor in social and economic affairs. Conceding, to the utmost, the influence of colleges of education and normal schools in the way of inculcating better methods of teaching, there still remains much for high-school teachers, themselves, to do in the way of taking a generous survey of their work so as to give direction and potency to civilization. Tradition, alone, will not avail. The high school should lead, not follow; but this high function will not be attained until it can preview civilization and prepare the way. This privilege appertains to each individual teacher, nor can this function be either abrogated or delegated.

This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adolescence and High-School Problems Both of these methods of solving educational problems are considered scientific and modern. Each has its disciples, and the influence of one or both is traceable in all recent educational writing and discussion. Just now it would appear that the demands of society, in the broader sense of the term, are upper most in the minds of a majority of educational experts; as witness, the ever recurring phrase social efficiency and its like, in which it would seem that this proposed aim of education implies that the schools are to make the pupils eflicient for the sake of society. However, the relative merits and validity Of these two ways of determining educational procedure are not under discussion here. Whatever may be their relative values as criteria, the discussions and attempted solutions of high school problems which follow are controlled largely by psycho logical considerations. These will certainly furnish workable and valid tests; if a single viewpoint is maintained, our study of the problems here considered will gain in unity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Secondary Education: A Textbook Since the first edition of this volume was issued seven years ago, there has been a rapid development in some aspects of the American high school. The function and educational value of the several studies have not been materially changed; consequently no sufficient reason exists for altering the parts of this book that pertain to those topics. Much pressure, however, has been brought to bear upon the high school to compel it to alter somewhat fundamentally its leading purposes, especially with respect to vocational ends. This powerful modern movement calls for a reexamination of educational principles in the light of present conditions. What high-school leaders and teachers seem most to desire is a perspective of the whole a situation, in order that they may estimate correctly the validity of the respective claims of general and special education, for they fluctuate according to the needs and conditions of various locations. To meet this need for perspective, six chapters upon "Basic Ideals for Educational Progress" have been added.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Secondary Education The Greek poet says that the streams of joy and trouble flow in different ways, and this is as true of day schools as it was of ancient rulers. There are many different kinds of schools Which fall under the general head of day schools, and their advantages and difficulties are not in all cases the same. There are, for instance, the Public Secondary Schools, whether old endowed foundations or more recently established by Town and County Councils; there are Proprietary Schools, such as have been founded by public companies or other bodies; and there are Private Schools. All these schools belong to the sphere of secondary education. Then, again, there are the Higher Grade Board Schools, which in some large towns must certainly be considered as giving instruction beyond elementary standards and lastly, there are the Technical Schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Teachers College Record, 1913, Vol. 14: A Journal Devoted to the Practical Problems of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Professional Training of Teachers The reorganization of a school system, large or small, by which the industrial and commercial aspects of life are given adequate provision is not a simple problem. This problem in volves many factors, all of which must be taken into account, or disappointment and even serious and costly errors will fol low. In the haste to establish schools and courses in the field of the various practical arts, it is to be regretted that many cities have begun the work at great expense without any ade quate knowledge of their actual needs and possibilities. No intelligent physician prescribes remedial agencies until he has made a diagnosis of his case. To prescribe for the educational needs of a community one must know those needs. So many elements enter into this complex problem Of educational needs that nothing less than a rather comprehensive survey of the entire social situation can provide the necessary information. Such a survey emphasizes the democratic character of the public school system. It reveals the needs of all groups in the social whole. Any system of education neglecting the fundamental needs of any group must be regarded as inadequate and un democratic.

Download or read book Principles of Secondary Education Classic Reprint written by Paul Monroe and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 836 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Secondary Education The scope of secondary education is now so broad, its purpose and aim are so diversified, that no one specialist can aspire to be accepted as an authority in the entire field. The content of secondary education is so diverse, methods of instruction and of administration are so varied, that no one practitioner can hope to present views acceptable to all en gaged in the field. When unity of views or of practice does not exist, it is impossible to express a unified philosophy or to formulate a procedure universally valid. Under such cir cumstances, it seems best to prepare the prospective teacher or administrator for his work by giving him the conclusions representing the best thought and practice in this entire field. Especially is this procedure advantageous if, as in the case of this volume, the specialists writing have a broad acquaint ance with present practices, intelligent views and wide sym pathies in the Whole field of education, and also a tolerance of innovation justified by experience. The insight which results from the consideration of views of many specialists, thus animated by a common purpose and possessing a Wide experience in our secondary schools, is superior to the unity which may come from the views of one man no matter what his qualifications. Moreover, the prin ciples thus derived will be much more representative of actual conditions, and hence will offer a more adequate preparation for the novice.

This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Changes Needed in American Secondary Education A survey of the programmes of the existing American secondary schools - public, private, and endowed - would show that as a rule they pay little attention to the training of the senses, and provide small opportunities for acquiring any skill of eye, ear, or hand, or any acquaintance with the accurate recording and cautious reason ing which modern science prescribes. To make, or read, a complete survey of these programmes would be a dull and heavy task; but the demonstration needed for the purpose of the present essay can be readily given by analyzing the programmes of a few typical schools and academies. Such an analysis of the programmes and regulations of twelve different schools and one group of kindred schools is given in the Appendix, the general result being that the secondary schools are giving not more than from one tenth to one sixth of their force to observational, sense-training subjects. Any school superintendent, teacher, or committeeman can verify the results of this analysis in any secondary schools with which he is acquainted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public Secondary Education In presenting this work to the public few explanations are necessary. The aim and purpose of the undertaking seemingly are clearly indicated in the title, and the justification for the production rests in the faithfulness with which these have been followed. Few will deny, I think, that the field of secondary education in America is to-day not only one of the most interesting fields of study in education, but that it is a most important realm of investigation and research. The high schools of America are largely the foundation upon which the colleges and universities stand, and they are at the same time the culmination and the stimulating ideal toward which much of the work of the elementary schools, is directed. They occupy a most important place in our system of education. They serve as agencies of culture for culture's sake, and simultaneously constitute preparatory institutions. Their character is therefore unique. In almost no other country in the world do schools of secondary education combine so many functions under a single type of institution. They are worthy of extensive study. The purpose of any historical study is, as I conceive it, to make intelligible the contemporary institutional and social life of the present. Social conditions of today are as they are because social conditions of yesterday were as they were yesterday. No period is sufficient unto itself. No era stands alone. What was done one hundred years ago affects in some measure the conditions now. Not a jot or a tittle that is significant in to-day's civilization will be wholly unrelated to life interests one hundred years hence.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems of the Elementary School It is clearly impossible for an essayist to make form al acknowledgment of all the sources of his inspira tion. The student of education keeps his mind open to the influence of every honest word whether spoken by the thinkers of old or by the seers of to-day, and he keeps his heart open to the influence of the living child, to whom all educational systems owe their ex istence. And who shall say which speaks the more effectively, Plato and Emerson and Mark Hopkins, or the tow-headed boy in the fourth seat in the third row and the patient teacher who is leading him, helpfully and hopefully, according to her lights?
