Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Studies in Education in Scotland This little book is offered as a contribution toward the solution of problems many of which are familiar to students of Public Education in Scotland. Some of these problems may seem to be administrative rather than strictly educational; but the intimate connection of the two aspects can easily be shown, the former constantly involving the latter. It may seem, too, that the topics discussed are to some extent of merely passing interest, and that legislation, for which the country has so long looked in vain, will set a limit to the factitious importance they at present possess.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter I. eetrospective--the origins of existing educational institutions. Education is a subject of perennial interest. As long as there are children to be educated, the ways and means of educating them will always demand forethought and study on the part of parents and community. In that sense there is always, and always will be, an "Education question ." But this question presents different aspects from time to time--now one, now another side of it becomes prominent. In one decade the great problem is how the State is to introduce itself into the domain of Education; in the succeeding one, how school fees may be got rid of; a later period finds the nation divided into hostile camps because parties cannot agree as to the relation of the Church to the School. Politics, sociology, religion, besides many other subjects, border on the sphere of Education, and even enter into it. Questions of this kind, whatever their origin, soon become highly controversial; they lie in great part outside Education as it is understood by the philosophic educationist. It is true that no theory of Education laying claim to any sort of completeness can ignore, say, the relation of the School to the Church and to the State. But these problems, abstractly discussed, do not introduce questions of party and sect, as they invariably do when they become matters of discussion on the public platform. Two inferences may be drawn from this. First, it bears testimony to the importance of Education itself. By common consent the national welfare is inseparably bound up with the interests of the school. The influence exerted by the school is so great that it is worth the while of great parties and great religious denominations to contend vigorously for the control of it....

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scottish Education School and University: From Early Times to 1908 I have endeavoured to be accurate in the use of quotation marks, and in verification of references in footnotes. I have revised the whole carefully, supplying omissions, and removing what could with advantage be spared, and it is perhaps not unreasonable to expect that a close and practical acquaintance with the school and university life of both Scotland and England for more than fifty years has prevented me from falling into very serious inaccuracy or misconception. I regret that Mr Strong's interesting treatise on Secondary Education in Scotland did not appear till the whole of the present work was in type, and so too late for me to profit by it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education in Scotland IF we except the Athenians and Jews, says Mr. Froude, no people so few in number have scored so deep a mark in the world's history as the Scots have done. Why this pre-eminence of a country, small, mostly barren, of harsh climate, and denied many of the natural advantages found elsewhere? Her very difficulties of climate and soil helped her people to develop; her mountains became a nursery of independence and freedom, her glens and straths the home of a thrifty and hardy race. A certain seriousness of outlook and tenacity of temper natural to their surroundings predisposed such a people to the things of the mind and the spirit. From early timcs they developed an interest in religion and a zeal for learning. Other countries may have Shown a finer flower of scholarship, but in none has the attitude towards education been so democratic, so thoroughly imbued with the belief that learning is for the whole people, so socialised as to afford the spectacle of the sons of the laird, the minister, and the ploughman, seated on the same bench, taught the same lessons, and disciplined with the same strip of leather.

Hardly any subject has, in recent years, occupied more of the public attention than the organisation of elementary, secondary, and technical schools, and the adaptation of the universities to modern requirements. The State 'has now fully admitted its own responsibilities, and is wisely anxious to stimulate and encourage local support and manage ment under its own supervision. Teachers, School Boards, County Committees, and Members of Parliament are all interested in new schemes for the improvement, extension, and endowment of Secondary and Technical Education.

Download or read book A History of Secondary Education in Scotland written by John Strong and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Secondary Education in Scotland: An Account of Scottish Secondary Education From Early Times to the Education Act of 1908 The scope of this history extends considerably beyond the limits assigned by the title. As it is only within recent years that elementary, secondary, and University education in Scotland have been given clear definitions, and as the interaction of educational developments in different countries is much greater than a superficial inquiry would indicate, I have adverted freely to the history of elementary and University education, and, wherever it has seemed necessary or desirable, connected educational developments at home with corresponding developments abroad. But to avoid expanding the volume unduly I have excluded a considerable amount of available 'home' material - interesting and somewhat lighter reading, but not essential to the main purpose of the book - and have in general merely indicated parallelisms in other countries. Thus it seemed to me undesirable to do more than suggest the influence of the Hellenic movement in Germany in the eighteenth century on the educational developments in Scotland in the nineteenth, although there seems little doubt of its probability. In the hope that the book will be of use to the student of education as well as to the general reader, and in particular to the student-teacher, who should be familiar with the significant historical antecedents of the educational system of to-day, I have quoted or indicated authorities for statements or inferences of importance; but such works as Grant's History of the Burgh Schools of Scotland, with its multitude of facts, and Professor Edgar's exhaustive History of Early Scottish Education, are indispensable to the student of the particular subjects with which they deal.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The University Extension Movement in Scotland Courses of six lectures, accompanied by tutorial Classes, are also supplied. But the Board is not prepared to hold an examination at the close of such brief instruction, unless two consecutive courses, of six lectures each, be taken on the same subject and in the same session. In this case, further, the examination would be available only for students who had attended both and performed the tutorial work throughout. A Six lecture course is not regarded as sufficient to maintain the educational standard which constitutes a chief feature of the Ex tension Scheme. For the same reason, single lectures except for purposes of introduction - and courses of lectures on topics not connected with one another are never given.

This book was released on 2018-01-21 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education in Scotland: An Appeal to the Scottish People, on the Improvement of Their Scholastic and Academical Institutions How far are these charges true, and how far are they false? That they are true in some part, every one must admit, unless there be here and there, in the midst of the din and stir of these times, a somnolent Tour of the old school, who admits nothing but his ease. That they are false also, in some degree, may be presumed, -for all reformers are exaggerators. But the falsehood of them the present writer may safely leave to the placid Conservatives of Church and State in this time to expose. How far they are true is a mat ter of much more vital consequence; for in the functions of the popular as of the private con science, it is at once more difficult and more salu tary to peruse with patience the map of our defects, than to count complacently the catalogue of our virtues.
