Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Studies and Methods of Teaching in Prussian Schools The elementary schools of Prussia, which for some time have attracted, and still continue to attract, the attention of every observer of and well-wisher to education, did not attain their present superior state at once, but by degrees. The progress of their improvement was at first very slow, and almost imperceptible; but in latter times it has made rapid strides, and become obvious to every one who has directed his attention to the education of the laboring classes. Up to the year 1770, the whole system of education in Prussia was in no way superior to that adopted in England, nor was it materially of another character. The only difference which then existed referred to the grammar-schools and the universities. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Education in a Prussian Town Classic Reprint written by Herbert Macartney Beatty and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-16 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education in a Prussian Town This brochure reproduces a paper which was read last winter before the Dublin Education Society and the phraseology in some respects, I fear, bears traces of its oral origin. In itself, the paper can hardly be regarded as worthy of print; but the quotations from British and German authorities, with which I have fortified and illustrated my own observations, may per haps confer on it a vicarious usefulness. It is an attempt to picture the education in a typical German town. We have in English many treatises on German education*; but the only detailed study of any city, so far as I know, is the excellent report of Mr. Andrew *on the Elementary Schools of Berlin and Char lottenburg. But the educational equipment of a capital city is necessarily sui generis. Wiesbaden, on the other hand, may I think be regarded as educationally typical.

The things we learn in school, we in a great measure forget, but the influence of a good educational system remains for ever. - eotvos (first Hungarian Minister of Education, WE like to regard the human intellect as the basis of civilization, and to leave instinct to the beasts; but we cannot. Man never trusts to his reason though he has developed his brain to the degree of elephantiasis, and though the clear intellects of a few individuals may guide the course of human politics, the mass mind, which in the long run settles the trend of social evolution, rests for motive on instinct, blind as an insect's, emotional, irrational, Often hysterical.

This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Necessity and Means of Improving the Common Schools of Connecticut The results of this school system, were great and good. Every hamlet in Connecticut of no more than twenty houses, whether spread out upon the plain, or crowded into the valley, whether sprinkled along the sloping hill-side, or wedged in among the brown rocks of some wild ravine, could show its district school-house, which was regularly Opened for many months in the year. There was hardly to be known the son or daughter of Connecticut, who could not read and write. It was the rarest of all things to see one who had not received a good elementary education. This was reported to the honor of Connecticut throughout the Christian world. The lover of his race, who had been rewarded for his zeal for the elevation of his countrymen, by a life-lease in a Prussian or Austrian dungeon, saw his prison wall all light about him when he thought of the one government in the world that had provided efficiently for the education of the humblest child, and gathered hope for the time, when his government and all governments should do the same. The surly and prejudiced Englishman, when he had said all the hard things that he could think of about America and the Yankees, could always be floored by one argument, and that was the Connecticut School Fund contrasted with the national debt of Great Britain. In our own Union, the other states were reprovedfor their negligence, and spurred on to their duty by the example of what Connecticut had been the first to perform. The emigrant mother in Vermont or Western New York, as she looked around upon her untaught boys and girls, sighed for the schools of Connecticut and was ready to exchange the rich fields that were beginning to look so luxuriant about her, for the most rocky farm within the limits of a Connecticut school district. But within the last twenty years a change in all these respects has taken place. Connecticut no longer holds the same high position which she once did. Austria and Prussia have provided their subjects with an efi'icient and successful Common School system. Other governments in Europe are slowly awaking to their duty and interest in respect to the same high matter. Despotism even is striving to make peace with its wronged and outraged subjects, by giving, in return for the civil rights which it withholds, the substantial blessings of universal education. Many of the states of our own Union are giving themselves to this cause with a zeal and energy which show them determined to make amends for past neglect and torpor. In Massachusetts, Ohio, New York, Georgia, Rhode Island, and many other states, vigorous and successful efforts are made. School funds are accumulated; taxes are readily imposed and cheerfully paid; Boards of Education are instituted periodicals are circulated public lectures are given Normal Schools for the instruction of teachers are provided; teachers' conventions and Institutes are attended with zeal and profit. These, and other signs, show beyond question, that there is a strong movement in the public mind; that the people are being aroused. In some states and parts of states this interest is well-nigh enthusiastic. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It was variously ad dressed by a number of well-known gentle men regarding whose purity Of motive there could be no question, but regarding whose judgment a great majority of us have an opinion that cannot be printed without the use of asterisks. And it was attended by a very large representation of peace-loving citizens, including a numerous contingent of those peculiar patriots who, for the past two years, have been so very distressed if any suggestion of hostilities with the Cen tral Powers was Offered, but so agreeably reconciled if a break with the Allies, or any one of them, seemed a contingency.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Circulars of Information of the Bureau of Education, Vol. 1: 1885; City School Systems in the United States The educational element of civilization forms no exception to this general drift of things. Methods of teaching have nothing to do with national boundaries. The best is the best everywhere. The essential elements of a good school system are the same in every country. There is only one best way of securing and retaining efficient teachers. A model primary school in Paris, with its appurtenances, apparatus, fittings, and program, would be no less a model primary school in Wash ington. If Germany has worked out the model school room, all nations must copy it. If America devises the best school desk, it must go to the ends of the civilized world. Prussia institutes the normal school; every other nation adopts it. The really good local thing, the outgrowth of educational laws, that stands the test of experiment. In time becomes general. In the mean time innumerable whims, fancies, and strange vagaries claim attention for a longer or shorter period, then disappear, leaving no beneficial trace; hence, reference to foreign examples be comes indispensable to our purpose.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Science Education Abroad: A Lecture It is certain, however, that if the Government of this country could be induced to sustain a system of elementary technical schools simi lar to those of the Department of Science and Art in England, or similar to those of Prussia, a double benefit would be secured, in so far as the higher science education is concerned, in finding occupation as teachers of science for some of the graduates, and in giving the necessary preliminary training to students. At the same time the effects of such schools would be of incalculable impor tance to the working classes of this country. Local benefactors might do something for such schools; but for a proper system the Legislature must intervene, and it can secure the end only by payment for results on the English system, under proper arrangements for examination and inspection.
