Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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?

Download or read book Fundamentals in Elementary Education Classic Reprint written by Claude A. Fhillips and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fundamentals in Elementary Education The subject matter of this book is a direct outgrowth of the experiences of the Department of Education in the State Normal School at Warrensburg, Missouri, in giving courses in Education to beginners in that subject. During the ten years of the experiment, the major portion of the material has been tried out in more than one hundred fifty classes, taught by well-trained teachers. The book is de signed primarily for students in Teacher-training Classes in Education in high schools, and in Elementary Courses in normal schools; and it is well adapted to Teachers' Reading Circles. It might well be used as an Introductory Course in Education in colleges or in College Courses in normal schools. The author has tried to keep in the foreground the function of the elementary school as the greatest single agency in a democracy for the education of its children, and, while no effort has been made to exhaust the topics concerning elementary schools, an attempt has been made to discuss the fundamental ones with considerable detail and thoroughness. Practically all of the Problems presented at the end of each chapter may be answered from the subject matter contained in the text, and the experiences of the teacher and students. The selected readings are intended chiefly for supplementary purposes, and for those students who have access to a good library. It is needless to state that the writer claims no large degree of originality for the volume, because he has drawn freely upon pedagogical literature as it relates to the elementary school.

Download or read book The Curriculum of the Horace Mann Elementary School Classic Reprint written by Teachers of the Horace Mann Elem School and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Curriculum of the Horace Mann Elementary School The curriculum of the Horace Mann Elementary School, as published in five numbers of the teachers college record in 1906 and 1907, has long since been out of date as well as out of print. In response to many requests, therefore, this revision of the course of study is published. The changes from the former curriculum, while they are numer ous, have been the result of a gradual growth during the past six years. The administration of the school leaves the principal and the teachers peculiarly free to modify their methods of teaching and the subject matter of instruction whenever it seems best to do so in View of the best interests of the pupils and in accordance with the best accepted educational practice. The specific changes that have been made are noted in the introductory statements under each subject. The Study of New York City, which is outlined in Chapter IV, is an organized attempt to prepare our pupils to take a more intelligent and enthusiastic interest in civic betterment. As they become better acquainted with local history and tradition and with our best artistic possessions, as they come to realize the great social problems growing out of the industrial life of their city and the organizations of good citizens that are working to solve such problems, we hope that they themselves will soon develop a high type of civic responsibility.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American High School The problems of the American high school are specific. They differ much from those of the elementary school below and those of the college, university, or technical school above. The experience of the last half century has revealed them; it has also developed a considerable body of knowledge concerning them, which every high school teacher should possess before entering upon his work. This knowledge will not solve all his individual problems, but it should at least make him aware of their existence and suggest the solution which he must himself work out.

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.

This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practice in the Case of School Children The practice on which this study is based was conducted dur ing the years 1911 and 1912 in the schools of the Children's Aid Society in the third and fourth-year classes as a part of the regular grade work in arithmetic. In all, about 1350 children took part. It was the intention that the study should be con ducted under school conditions normal for children, teachers, and supervisor, in order to meet, as. Far as possible, a current criticism that results obtained from studies with small groups of persons under laboratory conditions, are not applicable in school conditions; and also in order to establish greater confi dence in the validity of the results of the study and insure the applicability of its results to actual school-room problems. It is true that one meets a greater number of factors under such conditions that can not be controlled than in an experiment con ducted under laboratory conditions, but they are the factors that enter into all school-room work and help to determine both its quality and quantity. There was approximately the same simi larity of ability in the classes that took the practice that one ordinarily finds in a school system where a common course of study is followed and where all the teachers are under similar supervision, but where there is diversity of nationality and ex treme individual variations among the children. Two different experiments were conducted, one in addition, the other in division. The addition was given to classes in the fourth year of the elementary school; the division, to classes in the last half of the third year and the first half of the fourth year. These classes had done the work outlined in arithmetic in the New York City course of study. Hence the children had been taught the facts and processes involved in the experiment.

Download or read book Some Phases of Reading in the Elementary School 1919 written by Robert Hill Lane and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Phases of Reading in the Elementary School, 1919: Reprinted From the Series Published in the Educational Journal Because the Educational Journal is largely a principals' magazine, this article is addressed primarily to the elementary principal who desires to attack the problem of reading in his school. As far as possible, the writer wishes to put this into the form of a friendly talk rather than in the form of a finished essay, so that while we may lose something in the way of style, we may, perhaps, gain thereby in directness and simplicity. First of all, I should impress on the teachers of your building that reading is the most important subject with which we have to deal in the elementary school. Unfortunately, there is a tendency in this city, as well as elsewhere, to measure a child's progress, if not actually to decide upon his fitness for promotion, by his ability in arithmetic. Now, while arithmetic is a highly important subject, and merits our best attention, it is altogether conceivable that men and women may get along successfully in life with only a modicum of arithmetical skill. Indeed, the average person in adult life has little use for anything but the simple fundamental processes of addition, subtraction and multiplication, while reading functions to an enormous degree in the affairs of every day life, not only in conducting the affairs of the working day, but in the right employment of one's leisure. Hence, the position of so many teachers that reading as a subject, is of relatively little importance beyond the first and second grades is hardly a tenable one. In the next place, I should point out to the teachers that reading is an extremely complex subject, and one which is exceedingly hard to teach. Nothing is easier than to distribute readers to a class and to call upon the individual members to read in turn with an occasional criticism by the teacher. Such a lesson could hardly be called a reading lesson, but it is considered so in unfortunately too many cases. Again, there is a lack of clear understanding that reading must be considered both from the standpoint of silent reading and oral reading. Many teachers regard reading as synonymous with oral reading, neglecting entirely the wide field of silent reading. In the elementary school, it is indeed necessary to devote considerable time to oral recitations in reading, but the time given to oral reading should decrease from lower grades to higher grades, and the time given to silent reading increased from grade to grade until in the higher grades of the elementary school silent reading should receive most attention. In adult life, one's oral reading demands relatively an insignificant portion of our time, while silent reading for information or for pleasure is an indispensable part of daily life. Then, too, reading is complex in that the attempt to analyze a reading situation is not an easy task. To discover why a child fails in reading and to prescribe an adequate remedy calls forth the best skill which the teacher possesses; a task which is complicated by the truth that there is no panacea for poor reading, but every case, in a very real sense, must be judged upon its own merits.
