Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Library and the School Now there was a time in the dim and Puritan past when the reading of mere stories was looked at askance and the mental pabulum of the young was essentially didactic. But the children of today are encouraged to read Mark Twain and Stevenson and other story-tellers, and thereby books become an intimate and much-prized part of lives at a time when the young imagination is peculiarly in need of guidance. The restraint of another generation which led to surreptitious indulgence in dime novels and shockers had been replaced by wise and sym pathetic guidance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lincoln School Library One day we all went up to the library. We sat around Miss Eaton's desk and Miss Eaton told us a story of the little lame prince, how he had been shut up in a tower and couldn't see anybody and nobody could see him, and one day a fairy godmother came into the tower and brought him a magic travelling cloak, and she said he could sit on the travelling cloak and wish where he wanted to go and it would take him where he wished. After that Miss Eaton told us that we have a magic travelling cloak, just as much as the little lame prince had and what do you suppose that is? They are books. All over Miss Eaton's desk she had selected books which she thought the second grade could read and we have been deciding where we wanted to go and they have taken us all over the world. This is another way we use the library. Augustus had finished his battleship. He asked Miss Curtis to guess what he wanted to do. Miss Curtis asked, What? Augustus said, I am going to put my ship in full dress. That means with all the flags flying as they came into harbour a few days ago. Miss Curtis said, What flags do ships fly? Augustus said, I don't know. Miss Curtis asked where you can find out and Augustus said, I don't know. Miss Curtis said, You go to the library to find out things like that. He came in very early one morning. He went up to the library and came down with this book, Flags of the World. It tells you about all the flags of the navy. And that is another way we use the library for any information. In the second assembly a Shelf of Books was represented. Each grade selected one or more books and children from each grade in costume represented the book or books selected. Another group Of children, representing readers in the library and the libra rian in person, talked about the books on the shelf. The second half Of the program emphasized the importance Of taking care Of books; the sixth grade told Of the different processes which go to the making of a book; the fifth grade showed by lists and charts the increasing cost Of books; the fourth grade explained certain careless ways of treating books, which damage them and destroy the pleasure of other readers.. The material used in their talks was suggested and worked out by the children themselves. There follow some of the children's letters written to the librarian after the assembly. Each paragraph is a separate letter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Classroom Libraries for Public Schools Classic Reprint written by Buffalo Public Library and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Classroom Libraries for Public Schools The first purpose of this graded list is to furnish to teachers a convenient cata logue Of the books which the Public Library has to this date devoted to school use. We hope, by having such a list, to secure the aid of the teachers in the choice of each classroom library, so that the books may be suited to the age and capacity of the Children, and helpful both to teachers and pupils in connection with the course of study. The list is only tentative, and other books will be added from time to time, both from old books found to be needed and from new books published, as the wants of the schools require and the resources of the library will permit. The library will be very glad of suggestions from teachers, both as to changes in the list and the addi tion of new books. The selection of the books and the division into grades was first made on the basis of the reading from the Children's Department of the Public Library. The first selec tion and division was very carefully revised after trying the books in the classrooms of ten schools for a full year. The assignment of the books to the different grades has been changed and modified, particularly in the subjects of travel and history, to meet the requirements of the course of study. For instance, Cofiin's books on United States history have been continued into the ninth grade, although they are not above the comprehension of much younger readers, because American history is studied in this grade, and these books are found very useful and are much sought after. Librarians, superintendents of education and teachers in other cities, to whom the list may come, will find it Open to criticism, both as to books omitted, books included which perhaps should have been left out, and as to the assignment to grades. After a longer trial of the books by further use, and a larger experience by the com pilers, we will try to issue a better and fuller list with subject entries. The suggested list of reference books is also only tentative. It is added because it is a part of our plan to build up a good reference library in each school. The entire amount of the state appropriation awarded to those schools under the library care will be expended for this purpose each year, the Public Library furnishing all the books for the pupils' home reading.

Download or read book The Children s Library written by Sophy Hill Powell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Children's Library: A Dynamic Factor in Education The function of the public library as a continuation school has not been fully recognized. How to educate adolescent children, who are often working children, is a problem as yet unsolved. The use of books in vocational and trade education is especially empha sized, partly because such training is well within the pale of liberal culture if properly handled, and partly because the significance of books as literature has been adequately treated elsewhere. Whatever doubts one may have about vocational education, in some form or other, it is here to stay, and probably for others than prospective wage earners. The public library as yet plays a small part in the lives of working children. Here is an attempt at an explanation of this fact, with suggestions which may help to make the library more useful to that class for which it has always been primarily intended - those unable to take advantage of formal education. It is a pleasure to acknowledge indebtedness to those who have read the manuscript in whole or in part and have contributed criticisms and suggestions.

Download or read book Graded and Annotated Catalogue of Books in the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh for the Use of the City Schools 1900 Classic Reprint written by Pittsburg Carnegie Library and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Graded and Annotated Catalogue of Books in the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, for the Use of the City Schools, 1900 Early in 1899 the National Educational Association issued an important circular on the relation of public libraries and public schools. From this circular we quote the following: There should be most cordial relations between the school and the library. The librarian should know the school and its work, in a general way, as a very important part of his work, just as the teacher should know the library and its methods as a part of her work. The children should have free access to the library shelves. The community should be led to re gard the library as a necessary part of a system of public edu cation, just as essential as the common school. If it is the duty of the state to see that its citizens know how to read, it is certainly none the less its duty to see that they are so train ed that the ability to read will be a blessing rather than a curse. A free public library is the adult's common school. Pupils should know what a library is, what it contains, and how to use it. A child can no more be wisely left to get his knowledge and taste for literature by himself than to get his mathematical or scientific training in the same way. Children must be trained to use the library as they are trained to do other things. Pupils should learn to read with economy of time by making use of page headings, tables of contents. Re views, Poole's Index, card catalogues and other helps. The destiny of a child is not affected by the ability to read. But by the use he makes of that ability. The school trains for a few years. The library for a life time. The ability to read is merely a means to an end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-09-14 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Graded and Annotated Catalog of Books in the Public Library of the District of Columbia, for Use in the Schools of the City The Public Library of the District of Columbia furnishes to the Public Schools of the city, through the school stations and through the cooperation of the grade teachers, many thousands of books during the school year. It is more and more forced on the attention of the library that numerically only a small portion of the children of Washington are being satisfactorily reached by the main library and its one branch. It is to the schools, reaching every locality, to which the library looks for help in solving the problem. A book in the hands of a teacher and recommended by her carries great weight. There fore by sending small libraries to all of the schools, more par ticularly the distant ones, we hope to reach the right child with the right book at the right time. Any teacher may select or request the library to select one book for each child in her class or any number of books up to fifty, which will be sent to her by the library and called for at the end of two months, after notification, unless she desires to retain them for a longer period. For the convenience of the teachers and to advise them of the material to be had for supplementary work and for pleasurable reading this graded and annotated catalog of books has been prepared. It has been arranged by subject that the material on the work being studied may be readily found. There is also an author index. Many of the books listed in a certain grade will be found useful in a lower or higher grade, the grading being only suggestive.

Download or read book The Children s Library a Practical Manual for Public School and Home Libraries Classic Reprint written by W. C. Berwick Sayers and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Children's Library a Practical Manual for Public, School, and Home Libraries The brief chapters that follow may find their excuse in the fact that while articles almost innumerable on library work with children have appeared in library and other periodicals here and in America, no work has yet appeared in either country which attempts to systematise this fugitive information. I have long thought that a brief manual connecting the various methods would not be without its uses to those who are concerned as parents, teachers, or librarians with the reading of the young, and as no one better qualified has undertaken the task, I have presumed to write this little work. In the earlier chapters I have dealt with matters which should be known by all who conduct libraries whether in the school or the home; and in these I have endeavoured to avoid the special phraseology of the professional librarian. The later chapters describe practically all the methods in use in public libraries for catering for children. The whole work, however, is connected, and the non-librarian may, and I hope will, find it worth while to read it as a whole. I had intended to prefix a chapter dealing with the history of the child's book; but when I came to marshal my materials, I found it was impossible to produce anything like a readable and satisfactory sketch within the limits I had proposed to myself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Public Library and the Common Schools: Three Papers on Educational Topics You are all teachers in the common schools of the town of Quincy, and I very freely acknowledge that I think your course as such, especially of late, has been marked by a good deal of zeal, by a consciousness of progress, and a sincere desire to accomplish good results. I am disposed neither to find fault with you nor with our schools, as schools go. I should like, however, to ask you this simple question Did it ever, after all, occur to you, what is the great end and object of all this common school system - Why do we get all these children together, and labor over them so assiduously year after year? Now, it may well be that it never sug gested itself in that way to you, but I think it may safely be asserted that the one best possible result of a common-school edu cation, its great end and aim, should be to prepare the children of the community for the far greater work of educating themselves.
