Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Thoughts and Suggestions on Technical Education On the one hand he is taught to "live by his wits," and on the other that a person who does so becomes a byword and a reproach. But true education should bring about the harmonious growth of the whole man, and not a one-sided development of one or two of his faculties. With this system there has been for some years a very general distrust and an effort has been made to break away from it and replace it by some other method. That it has not fulfilled what was expected of it is patent to almost every one, and should we judge of it only by results, as we should judge anything else, it would seem at once that it was, to say the least, not satisfactory. It has been so long the habit to declare that our public school system of education is the foundation of all that is good in the country that it is difficult to look at it in any other way. We have only, however, to compare the results of such training with those of our own profession to see that it must be very defective. I remember in the year 1860 having heard my father, then 60 years of age, say of the men who started in business with him as a boy, that 90 per cent, had failed at least once, and that by far the larger part of them had never succeeded in obtaining even a competency. I have since heard the estimate of failures placed much higher. These men had all been educated under the theory then most common in the schools. No such statement could be predicated of the engineers who started in life at the same time, nor of the education which was given in the engineering schools. Any such percentage of failure in their graduates would have wiped them out of existence and consigned them to oblivion long ago. It is remarkable, in view of the fact of the constant failures in the common school education and its manifest unfitness, that attention should not sooner have been called to the adoption of the methods used in engineering schools, and that it should have required so many years to turn attention to the fact that there was something decidedly lacking in the inception and execution of our general school system, and more especially that it was training our youth in such a one-sided manner that brain development only was regarded as the legitimate object of education. Bacon has said that education is the cultivation of a just and legitimate familiarity between men and things. Judged by this standard it must be said that our common school education is lacking in some of the essentials which bring about this familiarity. Facts in themselves are of no value; they are only important when they are applied. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Technical Educator, Vol. 1: An Encyclopaedia of Technical Education Before entering upon the course of lessons which we are about to lay before our readers in the technical educator (which is intended to furnish a practical sequel to the theoretical lessons contained in the popular educator, and to which work indeed it forms a necessary supplement), it appears desirable to state what is understood by Technical Education, and to give some general idea of the system upon which it is our intention to proceed. Technical Education, as we have already explained in the address To our Readers in the concluding volume of the popular educator, means literally education in any special art, and in this sense, of course, it is capable of almost the widest application. There is, in fact, no calling in life, no profession, voca tion, or employment, from statecraft and diplomacy downwards, through. The long lines of brain-work and hand-work, whose followers do not require a technical education peculiarly suited to it to enable them to pursue it with the best results to' themselves and the largest amount of benefit to others.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Technical Education: Report of a Visit to the Schools of Massachusetts, and Opinions on the Subject of Technical Education, 1899 The question may be raised, How would the introduction of technical education be viewed by mechanics? There is an erroneous impression held by some persons that manual training schools are schools for teaching trades, and these are not in the interest of skilled mechanics. In the United States the laboring classes and the mechanics are, I was told, the most ardent friends of technical education. It is a mistake to infer that the masses need only a good elementary education. It is not to be wondered that municipalities are slow to move, and that apathy is found regarding technical education, so long as the value of intelligence in mechanical operations is not fully recognized.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Technical Educator, 1872, Vol. 3: An Encyclopedia of Technical Education The photographic camera is simply a box of wood or other opaque material, into one end of which is fitted a. Lens of a suit able character, and capable of projecting upon the sensitive surface an image of any object before which it is placed. At the reverse end of the box is fitted a screen of ground-glass, which is used for the purpose-of adjusting both the position of the image upon the plate, and the distance of the lens trom the sensitive surface, in order that it may be rendered perfectly sharp and distinct. A case or box having a sliding door is also made to fit into the same groove as the screen, and is intended to hold the sensitive plate during the adjustment of the camera. When this adjustment has been made, the box or slide contain ing the plate is inserted In place of the screen, and the shutter having been drawn up, the exposure of the plate to light is con tinned for the requisite time; after which it is removed to the Operating-room for development.

Download or read book Democracy and Education written by John Dewey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1916 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address on Technical Education and Industrial Drawing Prof. Walter Smith, State director of art education in Massachusetts, then read the following paper: Mr. President, ladies, and gentlemen: The subject upon which I have to address you to-day is that of "Technical education and industrial drawing," a subject which is comprehensive enough to afford interest to the general public, while it is at present the best discussed theme among professional educators. I am aware that this whole matter is neither new nor strange in Washington, for from the Bureau of Education in this city has emanated much of the most valuable information we possess concerning it; and the lecture, recently published, by General Bimey, delivered by him before the Washington Art Club, upon a phase of the subject described as "Industrial and decorative art," is perhaps the fullest and fairest presentation of this matter that has appeared on this side of the Atlantic. Though I hardly expect to present to you much that is new, I may possibly cooperate with you in the diffusion of some new light on an old subject; hoping that thereby additional interest may be awakened, and that in consequence serious consideration may be given to this question, one which has assumed an importance that may be fairly described as national in its character. It may at first sight be considered an overestimate of the matterJif it should be asserted that upon the technical knowledge and skill possessed by a nation depend its safety, its wealth, and indirectly its happiness; yet this is undoubtedly true. It may also be stated that any scheme of education which does not from the first make provision for the gradual acquirement of such technical knowledge and skill, at such times and in such ways as the ages and circumstances of the pupils necessitate, is insufficient and not practical, and in dire need of complete reorganization. Yet that happens to be the case with every scheme of public education administered by city or State authorities in the United States of America to-day. I could have made that statement in many more words, and so have beclouded its meaning that you would not be shocked by it; or I might have quoted some one else who said it, and thus have shielded myself from the responsibility of saying it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Science and Art of Education I have for some years dictated my instructions on the science and art of teaching, in the form of notes, suggestions, and hints, to the junior class of this school; but a desire has been expressed by students and others to have the work in a more convenient shape for preservation and use, and to enable the many teachers who do not have the advantages of normal instruction to avail themselves of its helps. In compliance with this desire I have prepared the notes for publication: They do not, however, constitute a methodical or a complete treatise upon pedagogics, but only thoughts and suggestions for prospective teachers and for beginners in school-room work. Every subject has been treated with as much fullness, as well as brevity, as my experience has shown necessary. To subjects in which beginners need most help I have given more space than to others; this accounts for the disproportion in the number of pages devoted to different subjects. The matter will be found in harmony with the best in education and teaching, and presented, it is hoped, with a sufficiency of explanation to make it intelligible to beginners. Repetitions occur here and there, wherever it is believed they will be serviceable to those for whom the book is intended.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Technical Education in Industrial Pursuits: With Special Reference to Railroad Servive The solicitations of several prominent citizens of Balti more, earnestly interested in its welfare, and of other friends specially concerned in the development of our American railroad system, who, after examining the manuscript of this report, believed that the data therein contained would materially and beneficially affect the educational work of Baltimore and of our railways generally, have determined me to give these pages a wider circulation than merely among the officials of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, for whose information they were primarily written. In doing this I should much prefer re-arranging this data, so that the publication might show no relation what ever to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, but other demands upon my time prevent this revision. Though, for this reason, material collected for my own purposes and deductions therefrom are embodied in an official report, it is to be distinctly understood that no one but the writer stands committed to the statements or views therein contained; the responsibility for which he.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Technical Education: What It Is and What American Public Schools Should Teach The education required by a people is not a fixed quantity. That which is adequate for one generation or for one locality is not, necessarily, adequate for another generation or for another locality. It may be said, in general, that the education of a people should always conform to their necessities; that, as the conditions of life change, the education of a people should undergo a corresponding change: it may be one of degree or of character, or it may be a change involving both. The present is a time when those who have the shaping of popular education in America should consider anew the practical application of this simple truth.
