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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education in the South: Some Difficulties and Encouragements The chief difficulty in maintaining good public schools, as well as good schools of all kinds, in the Southern States, is the lack of money. The South sustained im mense losses by the war, while the North came out of that great struggle richer than at its beginning. The Southern people are mainly engaged in agricultural pur suits, ih which money is accumulated slowly; and, not withstanding the recent rapid increase in manufacturing industries, factories are not yet common in the South.5 education IN the south.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Public-School System of the United States The material contained in this volume will consist of the most important of the data that I collected during a journey extending over a period of more than five months, made under the auspices of "The Forum," for the purpose of studying the public-school system of the United States. The facts presented in the first part of the present work do not vary materially from those presented in a series of articles recently published in that magazine. The matter contained in the second part, however, - the part devoted exclusively to the compositions written by the children and the drawings made by them, - appears here for the first time. In undertaking this journey it was my aim not only to learn what methods of instruction were commonly followed in our country, and the general condition of our schools, but also to investigate the manner in which the schools of different cities were managed.

Download or read book Building for the Children in the South Classic Reprint written by Amory Dwight Mayo and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Building for the Children in the South By the American system of education, I mean not one kind of schools exclusively, but all good schooling that has been found valuable in our country. The American system of education means, first and foremost, the free common school for all children, supported by public taxation, administered by experts who are chosen by the people (in public education, as in government, the final court of appeal in this Republic); the free secondary, normal, technical, and higher education, held as a matter of undoubted public right, to be exercised in every State according to a high educational expediency, of which the people are the final judge, both elementary and superior public schools being kept as near the people in their local capacity as is consistent with efficient administration: even State supervision being confined to things that are general and essential, and national aid invited only at the most critical points, with the sole purpose to stimulate local effort, with no assumption of national supervision or control. Of course, public education, thus defined, has its general function in the elementary training of mind, discipline of character, and imparting of common information which every wise man knows are essential to the humblest citizen and the loftiest statesman alike. Of the six millions of American children and youth actually in daily attendance and the ten millions loosely enrolled in public and the three hundred thousand in private schools, nine-tenths will certainly turn their backs upon the school-house door as early as the age of fourteen. The first and ever-present concern in the American system is to do the best thing possible for these millions of children whose average school life to-day in the East does not exceed six, in the West five, or in the South three full school years. In the secondary, higher, industrial, and normal departments, which deal with the few hundred thousand youth in training for educational and social leadership, the common school has its right, which the people have unmistakably confirmed in every American State. But, in this upper region of education, the people invite the cooperation of every effective school. There is ample field for the display of individual genius, of corporate enterprise, of home and neighborhood training. And here the church, of every communion, has a field of operation so broad and exacting that it may well limit its efforts to what it can never half include and provoke no conflict with the people on that field where the people are bound to have their way, whoever goes to the wall: the maintenance, at public expense, of the free elementary school, open to every child, unsectarian in religion though profoundly moral and religious in the grain, unpartisan in politics, knowing no distinction of race or sex or social condition, the peoples university of American citizenship for every American child. More and more is it coming to be understood by all competent and patriotic thinkers that there is no necessary conflict of interests between these different methods of achieving the great result, since the most exclusive private or parochial school in our country must finally adjust itself to the conditions of our peculiar American life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forty Years of the Public Schools in Mississippi: With Special Reference to the Education of the Negro In the babel of many voices arising in the South, it is difficult at times to determine just what is the attitude of the southern white people toward the education of the Negro. It is frequently asked: Do southern people believe that the Negro can and should be educated? What facilities have been provided for this purpose? Is the trend of public sentiment toward providing more adequate means for his education? Is the Negro child being discriminated against in the distribution of school funds? Does the progress of the race in the past fifty years justify the efforts that have been put forth to educate the Negro? 9.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public Education in the United States: A Study and Interpretation of American Educational History, an Introductory d104book Dealing With the Larger Problems of Present-Day, Education in the Light of Their Historical Development The history of education as an introductory subject for students in normal schools and colleges has recently re ceived much criticism, largely because it has, as usually written and taught, had so little relation to present-day problems in education, and because it has failed to func tion, to use a common expression, in orienting the prospec tive teacher. The truth of such criticisms was brought out forcibly by a recent study which showed that, of the dozen most commonly used textbooks, only three gave as much as twenty-five per cent of their space to the developments of the past fifty years; that most of them devoted the great bulk of their space to ancient and mediaeval educa tion and European development; that most of them were cyclopaedic in character, and seemed constructed on the old fact-theory-of-knowledge basis; that only two or three attempted to relate the history they presented to present day problems in instruction; that only one made any real connection between the study of the history of education and the institutional efforts of the State in the matter of training; and that practically none treated the history of education in the light of either the recent important ad vances in educational practice and procedure or the great social, political, and industrial changes which have given the recent marked expansion of state educational effort its entire meaning.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Public Schools It is just seventy years since Sydney Smith wrote in the 'Edinburgh Review' that at a public school 'A boy is cast in among five or six hundred other boys, and is left to form his own character - if his love of knowledge survive this severe trial, it, in general, carries him very far; and upon the same principle a savage, who grows up to manhood, is in general well made, and free from bodily defects; not because the severities of such a state are favourable to animal life, but because they are so much the reverse, that none but the strongest can survive them.'

Download or read book History for Graded and District Schools Classic Reprint written by Ellwood Wadsworth Kemp and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History for Graded and District Schools "Truth is one! And in all lands beneath the sun, Whoso has eyes to see may see The tokens of its unity." The purpose of this book is to present a framework of history for the graded and district schools; that is, for children from six to about fifteen years of age. The effort has been made to present the material in such connection throughout the grades that it would gradually develop in pupils' minds the idea of the unity of history, and thus finally lead them to feel that history is an unbroken stream of life, of which the present in general, and their lives in particular, constitute an important part. It is not thought that the material presented here for each grade will be entirely sufficient for teachers who have exceptional advantages for carrying on primary history work. It is intended as a general framework, furnishing, perhaps, the greater part of the material which the teacher having all the grades will be able to teach, but which the teacher having but one or two grades and good library advantages should use to build and to enlarge upon, according to particular circumstances.
