Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of the Educational Ideal With the passing away of tribal life the old simplicity was lost, and customs and habits became more complex. But the primitive mind, so long subjected to the authority of the tribal leader, failed to respond to the opportunity for greater individual develop ment, and became an inert mass, blindly and dully obeying the dictates of a despotic ruler. The birthplace of human history was in the East. The march of progress has been toward the West. New and higher forms of civiliza tion enlarged the content of the educational ideal. The old order changeth, yielding place to new, said King Arthur to his sor rowing knight, and so it is with the old ideals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Educational Ideal: An Outline of Its Growth in Modern Times A natural education is not one, as is too often supposed, in which the child is left to grow up, as he may, subject to the chances of his environment, a prey to his own inclina tions. It is not one in which he is kept aloof from man, in a forced communion with non-human things. Neither is it one unwisely trusted to the instincts of a natural, but un trained affection. Still less is it one in which the old ped agogic drill in formal studies is thrown aside to give place to a pseudo-scientific playing, a vague and formless potter ing with objective phenomena. The real natural educa tion is that aimed at in the best endeavor of to-day, in which the child, from the moment of his birth, is steadily, rationally, and intelligently developed, by trained and sym pathetic minds, towards the best manhood possible to him. Such an education is not simply mental; it is physical; above all, it is moral. In it, the child's individuality is preserved, but is pruned and guided; he himself furnishes the impulse towards his own development, but the channels in which this force acts, the ends towards which it directs itself, are determined for him. A natural education is one in which the subject taught is secondary to the manner of teaching; in which the task done is subsidiary to the effect of doing it; in which the question to be asked at the com pletion of an educational step is not, What has the child learned? But, What has the child become? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Educational Theory The first and the most natural consequence of a historical survey of philosophic thought is to induce despair of philosophy. It presents us with the spectacle of the human mind endeavouring to understand the central facts of experience, and failing, in every age and every country, to give an indisputable or final explanation of any one of them. The only reward of historical research in this department seems to be a collection of inconclusive and mutually inconsistent opinions Inflated into theories of a reality which exceeds mans utmost powers to comprehend.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Ancient Education: An Account of the Course of Educational Opinion and Practice From the Earliest Periods of Which We Have Reliable Records to the Revival of Learning I propose to discuss the history of educational efforts and educational ideas among those peoples with which our own progress is most intimately connected, from the earliest periods of which we have any reliable records, down to the times in which we ourselves are actors. This is a most interesting and suggestive branch of historic study, since it not only reveals to us the efforts of the historic races at various epochs to fit their offspring to fill successfully the places they were destined in the course of nature to occupy in society and in the State, but also brings us into the most vital contact with the controlling ideas of these races, - with their ideals of life and conduct, with their views of human progress, human perfection, and human destiny.

This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Student's History of Education There is a growing conviction among those engaged in training teachers that the History of Education must justify itself. It is believed that, if this subject is to con tribute to the professional equipment of the teacher, its material must be selected with reference to his specific needs. Antiquarian interests and encyclopaedic complete ness are alluring and may in their place prove praise Worthy and valuable, but they do not in themselves supply any definite demand in the training of teachers. The greatest services that the History of Education can perform for the teacher are to impel him to analyze his problems more completely and to throw light upon the school practices with which he is himself concerned. By presenting a series of clear-cut views of past conditions, often in marked contrast to his own, it should make him conscious that the present educational situation has to a large degree been traditionally received, and it should at the same time especially help him to understand the origin and significance of current practices. In this way a study of the History of Education will disrupt the teacher's complacent acceptance of the pres ent, and will enable him to reconstruct his ideas in the light of the peculiar conditions out of which the educa tion of his times has sprung. Whenever historical records do not assist in such an analysis and synthesis of present day problems, they may be frankly dismissed from dis cassion. This conception of the subject, I have myself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Educational History Probably the most comprehensive idea of what correct education should do was expressed by Bishop Temple, who said that, It is the power whereby the present ever gathers into itself the results of the past, and trans forms the human race into a colossal man whose life reaches from the creation to the Day of Judgment. The successive generations of men are days in this man's life The discovery of inventions which characterized the different epochs of the world's history are his works. The creeds and doctrines, the opinions and principles of the successive ages, are his thoughts. The state of so ciety at different times forms his manners. He grows in knowledge, in self-control, in visible size, just as we do, and his education is in the same way, and for the same reason, precisely similar to ours. Pascal expressed the same thought when he said, The entire succession of man through the whole course of ages must be regarded as one man, always living and incessantly learning. These broad conceptions of educational processes are essentially modern, and the more they take possession of the minds of the people, the more and more will it be realized that education does not consist in following dogmatic courses of study, memorizing little understood statements, or mastering set tasks, but rather the joyous and free exercise of all the human powers in the search for truth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Educational Ends: Or the Ideal of Personal Development I owe to my readers a few words of explanation, as to the relation which I conceive to exist between psycho logical science and the ethical and logical doctrine set forth in the following pages. The inquiry into educational ends, which is the object of this book, resolves itself immediately into an inquiry into the natu re 01 that development which issues in the production of standard character, such character for itself being the natural ideal end of a creature that, not only is self-developing, but has ideal ends. We seek for such an idea of the right kind of person in process of development, as shall serve edu cator and educated for an ideal of their end.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Democratic Ideal in Education IN our land there is to-day considerable discussion upon educational matters. Appeals are made sometimes to our reason, and sometimes to our prejudices, and considerable bitterness of feeling is aroused and displayed, and generally much pother is created upon matters that are only incidentally educational. Let us trust that out of this evil good may come. Let us hope that what is at present an interest produced artificially, and with much labour, may become perennial and natural. Let us seize this golden opportunity to make our people permanently interested in this fateful problem of national education, so that the popular apathy, which in the past has been our curse, may develop into a popular vigilance, without which no truly national system is possible. But popular vigilance needs popular intelligence. Until our people can be made to see the true inwardness of their own instinctive faith, until they can be made to realise what national training means, and to understand why we need a better system of education - not, indeed, to beat the German, but to beat the devil - only when these matters have become part of our common faith may we look for the regeneration of this land.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Educational Ideal in the Ministry: The Lyman Beecher Lectures, at Yale University, in the Year 1908 The following addresses were delivered as the Lyman Beecher Lectures at Yale University in March, 1908, and a few weeks later were repeated in a somewhat different form as the Earle Lectures at the Pacific Theological Seminary of Berkeley, California. They contain no information on any subject; but are designed to give - what is perhaps the only gift one man can really make to another - a point of view. Many ministers to-day have a dim and baffled feeling that their work is somehow not fully correlated with the life of the modern world. They stand like David when he had rejected Saul's armor and had not yet found his own - bravely facing the gigantic form, but uncertain as to the method of attack. They are striving to define their own calling afresh and adjust it to novel and rapidly changing conditions. Must the prophet decrease, because the teacher has increased? The questions forced upon us by the obvious reinterpretation of the minister's function are of interest not to clergymen only, but to every believer in Christianity and to every student of social and moral progress.

This book was released on 2016-08-26 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Idealism in Education, or First Principles in the Making of Men and Women Dr. W. T. Harris died November 5, 1909. Toward the conclusion of his Psychologic Foundations of Education (p. He wrote: According to the current evolutionary view, all nature is a struggle for survival Of forms. Of the organic forms, the plant serves the animal and yields to him. The animal in turn yields to man. -man, in fact, conquers all nature. Here the law of the survival of the fittest comes to mean the survival of individuals that have most intelligence. All nature, it would seem, is a process for originating individuality and developing it into rational being. Looked at theologically, this is satisfactory. Nature is the creation of souls. It implies, of course, the supremacy of mind, since all its lower processes exist for the production of Spirit ual beings - they depend on mind, so to speak, and demonstrate the substantiality of mind. Mind is the final cause and purpose of nature. This again im plies that mind creates nature to re ect it. God creates nature, and through nature creates Spiritual beings who participate in his blessedness. Hence nature presupposes a God of grace and good will toward his creatures. In the spirit of these quotations from two great but very different educators, this book is written. It would combine the practical aim of Spencer to assist in the evolution of humanity with the ideal istic philosophy of Harris. The aim of Spencer is new, it being characteristic only of the biological nineteenth century, and after, to assign man's Golden Age to the future; the philosophy of Harris is in line with the traditions Of Hegel and Plato.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Trend in American Education One of the most significant phenomena in the develop ment of our American democracy during the past thirty years has been the ever enlarging scope of our system of education. There has been a conscious attempt on the part of our people to realize the democratic ideal of equality of opportunity. The remarkable progress that has been made is due in no small measure to the leadership of a group of men and women who have thought and planned in advance of current practice. During the twenty-five years which are just past Dean Russell has been responsible for the development of an educational institution which has trained leaders for our American schools from the kindergarten to the university. He has been in the position of one who has thought and planned in terms of our rapidly developing school system. His leadership would not have been recognized had he sought merely to meet the current demand. The very great respect which members of the profession have come to have for his judgment, and their confidence in his fore sight are clearly evidenced by the growth and influence of the institution over which he presides.

This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters and Lectures on Education It has been said that all great thinkers and reformers have worked out and enunciated their main ideas, before they had attained the age of thirty. Be this true or not, it applies to Herbart. The Science of Education, published when he was thirty-two, contains all his chief ideas on education, and the application of psychology thereto, either fully developed or in the germ to be worked out later on. These two books we have been comparing, may thus be said to represent the two ends of the thread of Herbart's life-long educational activity. It is a singular testimony to the power and depth as well as to the ripeness of his intellect, that he should have been able at that early age to formulate a body of educational principles which proved to be so true, so well founded, and so practical, that after thirty years' experience and testing, he found little or no thing to alter, beyond elucidating them and extending their ap plication. And no w, for half a century since his death, other men have continuously entered into his labours, have taken up his ideas and principles, are carrying on the work he began, and still find those principles to be sound, those ideas to be true.
