A Hinsdale, With a Brief Sketch of the History of Elementary Education in America One more paragraph and we are done with prefatory remarks. It does not seem best to confine myself to a mere answer to Mr. Hinsdale. The evi dence of a few competent witnesses and a thorough refutation of his West Point argument would be sufficient to meet every material point in his address. But I shall avail myself of the opportunity to direct public attention to such facts in the history of the common schools as may be of service in their present and future management. The question. Of overcrowding the course of study being raised, it will be quite appropriate to show that that overcrowding comes from the undue expansion of those branches which are honored with the name of common school studies, not from the introduction of what are styled the higher branches of education. Generalt sherman's and Professor church's views on this subject, as quoted by President hinsdale, are superficial in the extreme.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Education Pacific divisions enroll only 18 per cent, having a much smaller ratio of children of school age. In a reading population one section understands the motives of the other, and this prevents political differences from becoming too wide for solution by partisan politics. When one section cannot any longer accredit the other with honest and patriotic motives, war is only a question of time. That this general prevalence of elementary education is accompanied by a comparative neglect of the secondary and higher courses of study is evident from the fact that out of the number of pupils enrolled more than ninety-five in every hundred are pursuing elementary studies; less than four in a hundred are in secondary studies in high schools, acade mies and other institutions; only one in a hundred (13 in one thousand) is in a college or a school for higher studies. In considering the reasons for the increase of the length of the term of the elementary school and its adoption of a graded course of study, one comes upon the most important item of improvement that belongs to the recent history of education, namely, the introduction of professionally trained teachers. The first normal school established in the United States recently celebrated its fiftieth anniversary. It was founded at Lexington, Massachusetts, in 1839. The num ber of public normal schools supported by the state or municipal governments has increased since that year to 167, enrolling students, and graduating nearly per annum. To this number are to be added 1 78 private normal schools, with an aggregate of students and graduates. In 1880 there were 240 normal school students in each million of inhabitants; in 1897 there were 936, or nearly four times as many in each million.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mathematics in the Elementary Schools of the United States: International Commission on the Teaching of Mathematics; The American Report, Committees I and II II. The elementary school. This term is now commonly applied to the types of schools formerly designated as primary, intermediate, and grammar or grammar grades. The course is nearly always 8 years in length, very rarely 7, occasionally 9 or 10. The completion of the elementary course is necessary for entrance to the high schools, and the elementary school rar'ely provides work paralleling that of the secondary school, this providing the marked con trast to European practice. In a few cases it is attempted to teach secondary subjects, such as foreign language and mathematics, in the upper grades of the elementary school. Under present conditions the standard maintained by the elementary school is such that seldom more than half of all children are able to finish it by the close of the compulsory school period 14 years of age. In 1907-8 some children were reported in the elementary schools. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Commissioner of Elementary Schools, 1921 During the two-year period covered by this report, the ideals and the activities of elementary school instruction have been affected and in some important ways modified by the world war. A large part of the report must therefore be given to considerations of the effects thus produced. From the very outbreak of the war, when first reports came from Belgium, it became evident to American educators that it would be necessary to revise their long cherished estimate of the German system of school and university education. The deeds done by order of German high command, attested in a way too terrible to be mistaken, that a training in material efficiency and a development of a narrow national pride and arrogance, were not sufficient for the making of a nation of true greatness, nor the fitting of a people for genuine service to humanity. It thus became clear to all that in our schools the teaching of American efficiency and of American patriotism must give special emphasis to the rights of weak people and of little nations, to the inculcation of that genuine democracy that tends to the welfare of mankind; and that estimates the grandeur of a people not by its conquests, but by its service to the good of all the world.

This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the Teaching of English in the United States, 1908 This brief report, the record of a very interesting half year's work, was written for the University of London, as one of the conditions under which the Senate awarded the writer a Gilchrist Travelling Studentship. It has been duly approved as giving satisfactory evidence that the studentship was used for the purpose designed by the Trustees. In it is incorporated, by the courtesy of the Editor, the substance of an article on English in the American Elementary School which appeared in the journal of Education for July, 1907, and also of a paper read before the Battersea and Wandsworth Educational Association in May, 1907. The writer desires to acknowledge gratefully the great kindness shown to her by the various Educational Authorities and the many American Teachers with whom she came in contact, who, by their willingness to put their syllabuses of work at her disposal, their frankness in discussing methods and results, and their generous enthusiasm for their work, did so much to make her stay in America both pleasant and profitable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of History in the Elementary: Schools Report to the American Historical Association The effects of the report of the Committee of Seven pre sented to the American Historical Association (1898) are well known. A member of that committee prepared a re port on the study of history in the elementary schools which has not received the attention it deserves. Besides giving an excellent summary of the conditions under which his tory was then taught, Miss Lucy M. Salmon outlined a six year course of study which was thought suitable for the ele mentary schools of the country. In grades three and four the biographies of great men were to be presented. Ele mentary Ancient History; Mediaeval and Modern History; English History; and American History were recommended for the succeeding grades.

Download or read book American Education Classic Reprint written by Andrew S. Draper and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-11-08 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Education IT is nearly a quarter of a century since Mr. Draper eu tered upon the work of educational administration to which his life has since been given. He brought to this high task an unusual natural endowment and a still more unusual experience with men and affairs. He did not come to the task of administration from the school-room or the labora tory, but from most active participation in affairs and with the practical interests of men. Experience had given him a sense of proportion and perspective, as well as a knowledge of men, and nature had endowed him with a simple and sturdy directness of thought and speech which gave added weight both to his words and to his deeds. N 0 other American, I think, has, like Mr. Draper, been successively charged with the administration of a state system of public instruction, with the oversight of the schools of a city of considerable size, with the direction of one of the tax-supported state universities of the country, and finally with the supervision and control of the educa tional activities of an entire commonwealth. As a result, Mr. Draper has been forced, in the daily performance of the duties of his several offices, to approach the educational problem from many different points of view and to see it under almost all of its limitations and difficulties. He has been a frequent and persuasive speaker at educational gatherings and assemblies, and he has written much for publication, in addition to the preparation of luminous, as well as voluminous, official reports. The fruit of this unusual experience and activity is pre sented in this volume in something like systematic form.
