Book excerpt: This book examines the work of William James from the perspective of the educator, as well as the long-term influence he exerted over modern education. While much focus has rightly been given to William James’s other psychological works, many biographers, educators, and historians have not given due attention to his Talks to Teachers on Psychology (1899), resulting in a significant gap in Jamesian studies. This book fills this gap through an analysis of the events and people that brought about the initial lectures long before they appeared in print. In addition to covering James’s early life and education, it also examines the role played by persons such as Harvard President C.W. Eliot, educator Paul Hanus, and philosopher Josiah Royce.

This book was released on 2016-08-26 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the closing decades of the nineteenth century, college-age Latter-day Saints began undertaking a remarkable intellectual pilgrimage to the nation's elite universities, including Harvard, Columbia, Michigan, Chicago, and Stanford. Thomas W. Simpson chronicles the academic migration of hundreds of LDS students from the 1860s through the late 1930s, when church authority J. Reuben Clark Jr., himself a product of the Columbia University Law School, gave a reactionary speech about young Mormons' search for intellectual cultivation. Clark's leadership helped to set conservative parameters that in large part came to characterize Mormon intellectual life. At the outset, Mormon women and men were purposefully dispatched to such universities to "gather the world's knowledge to Zion." Simpson, drawing on unpublished diaries, among other materials, shows how LDS students commonly described American universities as egalitarian spaces that fostered a personally transformative sense of freedom to explore provisional reconciliations of Mormon and American identities and religious and scientific perspectives. On campus, Simpson argues, Mormon separatism died and a new, modern Mormonism was born: a Mormonism at home in the United States but at odds with itself. Fierce battles among Mormon scholars and church leaders ensued over scientific thought, progressivism, and the historicity of Mormonism's sacred past. The scars and controversy, Simpson concludes, linger.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Modern Education: An Account of the Course of Educational Opinion and Practice From the Revival of Learning to the Present Decade This book has grown out of the lectures given by the author in Cornell University during the past six years, and it comprises the last half of his course on the history of education. There should be a place, not only amongst teachers, but also in a very considerable class of enlightened friends of education, for a work depicting in a moderate compass the rise and development of modern methods of instruction, the growth of educational systems and organizations, and the course of modern ideas of education as revealed in the works of representative men. Though much that may be given in such a work naturally has its important forerunners in far earlier ages, still the course of educational events since the revival of learning in the 15th century, has in itself such a degree of self dependence as adapts it for separate treatment. Besides, it is probable that many persons who would be eager to know the more recent precursors of the present condition of education, would be less interested in ancient and medieval methods and means of instruction, or in the ideas of education expressed by ancient sages; at least until a knowledge of later educational history should have excited in them the desire for an acquaintance with the fathers of educational efforts and thought. With this view this book is offered to the public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Modern Education: An Account of the Course of Educational Opinion and Practice From the Revival of Learning to the Present Decade The chief difficulty in its preparation has arisen from the abundance and complexity of the materials that have been presented. An attempt has been made, by a careful selection of truly representative facts and personages, by a rigid exclusion of all other matters however intrinsically interesting, and by treating the several centuries from the standpoint of what in them seemed most characteristic, to con struct a narrative which should be truthful and perspicuous without being unduly bulky. The reader will judge how far this attempt has been successful. The works to which the author has been specially indebted have been so frequently mentioned in the following pages that it seems needless to enumerate them here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in the History of Modern Education It is only in recent years that the history of education has been included in the teachers professional training. Thirty years ago the materials for this study were meager and unrelated, the few books that were available being little more than compilations of meaningless facts. But with the recognition of the value of this study as a factor in professional training and in culture, attention has been directed to the discovery of new material and the preparation of a suitable text to meet the needs. The attempts to encompass within the range of a single volume the whole scope of the subject have, thus far, been failures. But many valuable contributions have been made in special fields, a large number of authors having been content to take one subject each and to treat it exhaustively. It is therefore necessary for the teacher of the history of education to draw upon many sources for material, and then so to relate and present this material to the student that it will accomplish its purpose. This book aims to do away with this necessity, and is the result of several years experience as a teacher of the history of education in a normal school. Its inception was prompted by the desire to direct students in their reading and thought while they were getting at facts. The aim has been to make the study intensive rather than extensive. The plan has been(1) to present to the reader certain fundamental facts together with the suggestion of a discussion;(2) to place before the student questions calculated to incite thought and to encourage research; and(3) to direct this research by suggesting added material to be used much or little as the circumstances will allow. This makes the book adaptable for use in colleges and normal schools with either large or small libraries, or in county normals or reading circles where no libraries are available.
