Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Education in Vermont For years no statistics were gathered showing the number of school Children, their average attendance, and the aggregate expense of sus taining the schools, no institutes nor general meetings were held, and no reports made by direction Of law. The only faithful and determined friends of the common schools were said to be mainly clergymen of different denominations. In 1856 a law was passed providing for a board of education, chosen annually by the legislature and consisting of five members, with powers substantially the same as those granted in 1827 to the board of commissioners, except that the latter board was authorized to appoint a secretary. This law left the act Of November 15, 1847, materially unchanged. The duties discharged by the secretary from that-time until 187 4 were the same as have since been performed by the State superintendent of schools. The first to be chosen to the office of secretary was the Hon. J. S. Adams, who in 1856 entered upon the performance Of the duties which in the years to follow he proved himself so well fitted to discharge.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of Secondary Education in Vermont While two-thirds of the schools have satisfactory grounds, also two-thirds of the buildings are poorly sup plied with light through inadequate window space. Teach ers do not realize their responsibility in maintaining the best possible conditions for lighting and ventilating rooms. Too often the shades are left where they happen to be, with no consideration for the bright or dull day. Usually two thirds of the light comes through the upper half of the window. Many cases of severe eye strain could be avoid cd by raising the shades to the top of the windows, or, what is better, by having shades that may be adjusted from the middle of the Window.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Normal Register: A History of the First Vermont State Normal School, Its Instructors and Alumni At the meeting of the R. S. N. 8. Alumni, held in June, I883, it was voted that class reports, giving, as far as possible, the number of terms of school taught, and the present occupation and address of each graduate since the establishment of the school, should be prepared, and read at the next annual meeting. To that end class secretaries were appointed, and intrusted with the work of looking up the records of their classmates. With two or three exceptions, these reports were prepared. Many, especially among the earlier classes, were quite in complete. At the meeting of June, 1884, it was voted that a report of Alumni and Instructors be made, supplemented by such other matter as would be of interest to all in any way connected with the school. It has been my task, with the aid of the reports before mentioned, to prepare this record. For the sketches of the life-work of the principals, you are indebted to a prominent graduate and former instructor, who has stamped her work so plainly with her own individuality as to render it unnecessary to give her name. It is a matter of regret to me that the intervention of other duties, and the difficulty of obtaining reports from many a dilatory one, has so delayed the work as to make our little his tory the record of a year ago, rather than the record of to-day. Where it has been possible for me to do so, I have given the latest informa tion of each graduate, but have no doubt many changes of name, resi dence and occupation have never reached my knowledge. It is still more to be regretted that, though every effort has been made and am ple time allowed, several are still missing from our list, and can only receive the fatal N 0 information. Trusting that this little book, unworthy though it must be, may still not be without its value to you, I submit it without further com ment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Work in Middlebury, Vermont, of Emma Willard Mrs. Emma Willard is known as the pioneer in the great movement of the nineteenth century for the higher education of woman. To say that she had a genius for teaching, that she devised improved methods, that she wrote admirable text-books, and that she impressed her own high ideals upon the characters of her pupils, is, indeed, great praise. But, it is a still greater glory to have started a movement which has revolutionized the ideas of the civilized world on the subject of woman's education- a movement which has culminated in the founding of grand colleges exclusively for women, and in the admission of women to older colleges on equal terms with men. For it is not too much to say that Wellesley, and Vassar, and their sister institutions on either side of the Atlantic, are the fair fruitage, in time, of those seminal ideas so ably set forth in Mrs. Willard's "Plan of Female Education."

Download or read book Early New England Schools Classic Reprint written by Walter Herbert Small and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early New England Schools The object of this book is not so much to furnish the author's opinions and conclusions, as to furnish the material from which the reader may form his own opinions and conclusions. With this in view, much is given directly from the old records, retaining the quaint phraseology and construction but modernizing the spelling for greater ease in reading. The order is that of the logical development of the schools through their various transition periods, with such excerpts from the laws as show the growth in legal power. The motive for the work lies in the following statement in Mr. George H. Martin's preface to his book, "The Evolution of the Massachusetts School System." He says, "This book is not a history..., for such a work the materials are ample and only await the approach of some one who has time and the inclination to use them." The curiosity aroused by that statement led to the first record, that to the second, until curiosity became a disease. However, this is not a history, but rather the materials out of which history may be made. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches From the History of Education It will be remembered that Luther placed a high estimate on individual conscience as the ulti mate arbiter of the actions of men, and on the consequent desirability of seeing with one's own eyes rather than with the eyes of others. This led him of necessity to the need of training the intellect and the will in order that they might serve conscience aright both in err abling it to see clearly the ways and means and in securing obedi ence to its decisions. Hence the high estimate placed by him on education as the chief and primary concern of the home, the church and the state.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Schools and the Nation Mr. Best to apply the principles here outlined to English conditions, the wide circulation it certainly deserves. But it is not the mere honour of recognition which constitutes the chief ground of my pleasure. I have grown too old in the struggle for educational ideals to let such personal satisfaction turn my head. Much more important for me is the thought that in so far as other great nations occupy themselves with the spiritual and intellectual elevation of their people, Germany too will reap the benefit of their efforts. The rivalry of two countries in the matter of education is far more welcome, far more profitable, and far more glorious than any competition in armaments. When two neighbours are each truly educated both may dare to live in peace and to devote all their strength to the improvement of their own homes and their own families. The more progress a nation makes internally, the more peaceably will i settle all external differences; and a man' can do bisli country no greater service than by exerting his powers to help other nations in their struggle for moral and intellectual progress, that they may not only uphold the cause of liberty, but may be themselves animated by a spirit of justice and goodwill.

Time would fail to enumerate all the agents, agencies, and interests involved in education - state, church, press, the professions in all their branches, parents, citizens, of all ranks and grades.

Download or read book Business Training and Commercial Education Classic Reprint written by Glen Levin Swiggett and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Business Training and Commercial Education This is due in a large measure to the fact that business training came as a late entrant to high school and college. The period of readjustment in accord with the established academic procedure in respect to admissions and graduations was and is coincident with a period of industrial and commercial expansion, the course of which has not always been under economic control. Sensing the economic gain to ensue through the correlation of training for and actual conduct of business, business educators and business men have endeavored in larger numbers and throughout a larger territory than ever before to obtain a program of coordinated educational opportunity and business need Avhich would give to business a natural movement of supply frpm the schools of bojs and girls, Tmeirand women, efficiently trained for the entafging delfmTfe and specific tasks of business. The motive of this approach has been cordial but not always timely, and has sometimes been ill-advised. Always the latter when the fundamental purpose of the public schools in a democracy Iras not been kept clearly a guiding principle in the establishment of special training courses. The division of labor in the field of distribution has not always been apparent as in that of production. The unit cost in marketing involves factors yet intangible. It is therefore difficult, involving uncertainty and change, to functionalize business training courses the major, nay the sole, purpose of which is to train for specific tasks of business. Experimentation, therefore, in this special field of educational endeavor is more evident in vocational business training than in the broader and more general aspects of liberal commercial education. And this is rightly so. We live in an economic era. Inter and intra national affairs are largely determined by economic advantages, and these are in a large degree conditioned by the magnitude of scale and measure of efficiency in management of industry and commerce. The need of constantly improved methods for increased production and salvage, in transportation, marketing, and financing, no matter in what field of development, has never been more apparent. Nor has there ever been a greater need for trained labor, whether of head or hand. The consciousness of this need has given to business education a position of commanding interest in business as well as in education. Commercial organizations. National, State, and local, place increasing emphasis on training and education for business and commerce. Programs in training for s)ecial types of business service similar in purpose and procedure to that of the American Institute of Banking have been developed and extended by other organized business service groups, for example, the National Association of Credit Men has planned a course of study to be offered by cooperative arrangement in the larger urban universities.
