Book excerpt: Excerpt from Teachings of Astronomy in the Primary and Secondary Schools and in the University In thus claiming entrance for their subjects into the earlier years of school attendance, the conferences are only seeking an advantage which the oldest sub; jects [language, arithmetic, geography] have long possessed. It As things now are, the hi gh-school teacher finds in the pupils fresh from the grammar schools no foundation of elementary mathematical conceptions outside of arith metic, no acquaintance with algebraic language, and no accurate knowledge of geometrical forms. As to [physics, astronomy, etc.] the minds of pupils entering the high school are ordinarily a blank. When college professors endeavor to teach [astronomy] to persons of 18 or 20 years of age they discover that in most instances new habits of observing, reflecting, and recording have to be painfully acquired by the students - habits which they should have acquired in early childhood. The col lege teacher finds that his subject has never taken any serious hold on the minds of pupils fresh from the secondary schools. It is inevitable, therefore that specialists in any one of the subjects which are pursued in the high schools or colleges should earnestly desire that the minds of young children be stored with some of the elementary facts and principles of their subject, and that all the mental habits, which the adult student will surely need, begin to be formed in the child's mind before the age of 14. If if The changes recommended are all in the direction of increasing simultaneously the interest and the substantial training quality of primary and grammar school studies. On one very important question of general policy ii i the committee of ten and all the conferences are absolutely unanimous ii Ninety-eight teachers, intimately concerned either with the actual work of American secondary schools, or with the results of that work as they appear in students who come to college, unanimously declare that every subject which is taught at all in a sec ondary school should be taught in the same way and to the same extent to every pupil so long as he pursues it, no matter what the probable destination of the pupil may be, or at what point his education is to cease. It Not that all the students should pursue every subject for the same number of years; but so long as they do pursue it, they should all be treated alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to Astronomy: For the Use of Science Classes and Elementary and Middle Class Schools The present Work is intended to supply a want which has been. Felt for a long time by those engaged in the scientific education of the young. Astronomy has not been generally cultivated in this country to nearly the extent that it has been, and still is, upon the Continent and in America; and it is believed that this is in some part owing to the want of elementary works on the sub ject. They must be sufficiently cheap to form class-books for middle-class schools, sufficiently scientific to imbue the youthful mind with a love for the science in its true aspect, and yet at the same time sufficiently easy and free from technicalities and mathematical reasoning to be read and understood with the imperfect knowledge of pure mathe maties, possessed by this class of students. Such then has been the aim of this Work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Treatise on Astronomy written by Hugh Godfray and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-08 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Treatise on Astronomy: For the Use of Colleges and Schools Astronomy is a science admitting of so many methods of treatment, that a few words will be useful to explain the scope and object of the work here offered to the student. It is essentially a student's book, - prepared originally for the use of the Author's pupils in the University. It embraces, therefore, all those branches of the subject, which have, from time to time, been recommended by the Board of Mathematical Studies; but by far the larger and easier portion, adapted to the first three days of the Examination for Honours, may be read by the more advanced pupils in many of our Schools. It is difficult to be original in an elementary work, and on a subject which has occupied men's thoughts from the earliest times. The author's aim has been rather to convey clear and distinct ideas of the celestial phenomena, than to affect originality by introducing obscurity; and it is hoped that where he has deviated from the beaten track, it has been at no sacrifice of simplicity.
