This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Higher Education in Rhode Island The early life of the colonies was varied. In Massachusetts the close union of church and State gave rise to a system which early fostered educational movements, although it can not be admired for that amount of toleration which characterized some of her sister colonies. The educational movements in the different colonies varied according to their physical characteristics, personnel and religious rule. In any account of the history of education in Rhode Island, the unity of the work would be incomplete were there no reference to the early colonial period. Were the founders and settlers of this State men to demand and appreciate the advantages of education? Was the environment such.that when an educational movement was started it could grow under the stimulus of a broad and catholic public opinion?

Download or read book The Rise of the High School in Massachusetts written by Alexander James Inglis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of the High School in Massachusetts: Teachers College, Columbia University Contributions to Educations, No; 45 The high school in Massachusetts had its beginning in the third decade of the nineteenth century. Within that period fall the estab lishment of the English Classical (high) School of Boston in 1821, the founding of the Boston High School for Girls in 1826, and the passage of the act in 1827 which formed the basis of all subsequent legislation affecting the high school in Massachusetts. In a wider sense, however, we must trace the origin of the Massachusetts high school and secondary education in the nine teenth century back to an earlier period, and, to gain a conception of the meaning and extent of the change then brought about, we must examine the conditions prior to the nineteenth century and antecedent to the beginning of the high school movement proper. Such an examination will involve some consideration of the colonial Latin grammar school and of the academies which prae tically dominated secondary education at the beginning of the nineteenth century, together with a consideration of the public school system in general. N o exhaustive treatment of these movements can be attempted here, but sufficient attention must be given to them to afford a knowledge of the situation immedi ately preceding the period with which this discussion is concerned.

This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin of the Moving School in Massachusetts The first four chapters - those which deal with the evolution of school control and of school support - may not seem to be logically connected with the subject proper. They are, in fact, an introduction to it, made necessary for the reasons that school control up to the present time has been considered as progressing during the seventeenth century from control of the many to con trol of the few, whereas the reverse is the truth; and also because no study has yet been made, and the results presented, of the subject of school support for this period. While there is a unity in the whole by reason of the fact that it was written from a single point of view - that of describing in a complete manner the origin of the moving school, yet the discussion of the reasons for its creation begins with Chapter V. The preceding chapters serve the purpose of paving the way for a satisfactory presenta tion of the subject proper as contained in the last six chapters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Record of Education: The Schools and Teachers of Dedham, Massachusetts, 1644-1904 We come now to the next step in the quiet and orderly progress of this young community. The founders of Dedham evinced in many ways their capacity for wise forethought. They evidently regarded them selves as the builders of a town for whose future character they would be held responsible. While they made many good regulations for securing private and individual rights, they never forgot to plan for the benefit of coming generations. Accordingly, as soon as they had established homes of a very primitive style, with very few comforts and no luxuries, they turned their thoughts to the subject of education and there is no doubt that the presence in the little settlement of Several men who had been trained in the universities of the mother country had a most favorable influence in shaping the measures which they adopted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beginnings of College History: An Address Delivered at the Massachusetts Agricultural College, Amherst, Oct, 2, 1907 It is not always easy to touch the sources of controlling influences. The head of the spring may be, generally is, somewhat remote from the spot where its sweet waters emerge upon the surface. It would be impossible to discover among the northern hills the tiny lake which is the very head water of yonder broad Connecticut. These analogies hold as to educational movements and institutions. We may trace back the history of the world's oldest and greatest centers of learning until our quest is lost in the dimness of tradition; but even then perhaps we shall not reach their real origin. National enthusiasms, religions, even wars, patriotic inspirations, social movements, the benevolence of individuals and communities, - all have played their effective parts, under varying conditions and circumstances, in enlarging the boundaries of educational influence and power. And so it happens that in the last analysis it may be impossible for me to state exactly what particular influence most effectively contributed to the establishment of the institution which forty years ago to-day threw open its doors to the aspiring young men who constituted its first entering class. No man can tell just where lay the one efficient, creative cause of our college life, nor exactly who proposed the seed thought out of which has grown modern agricultural education and the Massachusetts Agricultural College, whose fortieth festal day we are here to celebrate. I say all this, not forgetting the great Morrill act of 1862, upon which the superstructure of our college life is laid. It would be difficult, perhaps impossible, for any man to corral in a single statement, however full, all the sources of our existence. The most that can be done in the half hour allotted me is to point out the particular influences and the particular men that impress me as the most conspicuously prominent in laying our foundations. The war of the American revolution left the thirteen colonies exhausted and poor. Education was at a low ebb; the ambition of our hardy New England yeomanry was well-nigh crushed out under the adverse conditions created by a depreciated currency and universal bankruptcy, which seemed to threaten our rural communities. The breaking out of Shay's rebellion here, similar political disturbances elsewhere, and the feeling of universal unrest and dissatisfaction prevalent among the common people of most of the colonies, were ominous signs of great national peril.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brief History of the Massachusetts Agricultural College: Semicentennial, 1917 HE first member of the faculty was Levi Stockbridge, who was elected farm superintendent and instructor in agriculture in 1866; and at the meeting Of the trustees on August 7, 1867, when William S. Clark was elected president, Ebenezer Snell was elected professor of mathematics, and Henry H. Goodell professor of modern languages. These four men composed the faculty of the col lege the first year it was in actual Operation. Early in 1867 President Chadbourne, William S. Clark and Levi Stockbridge met on the lp ing hill south of the ravine, and decided on the location of the south dormitory, the chemical laboratory, and the south boarding house. It was voted to Open the college for those who might wish to enter the freshman class, October 2, 1867, and it was only by the greatest effort that the buildings were completed and furniture procured, so that the term commenced on that date. The buildings that were erected when the first students appeared upon the college premises were: the south dormitory, a boarding house on the north Side of the ravine, a chemical laboratory, and the botanic museum near the present plant houses. The south dormitory was a building one hundred by fifty feet, four stories in height, and contained twenty-three rooms intended to accommodate forty-six students, together with two recitation rooms, a reading room and library, and two large rooms occupied by the state cabinet of speci mens Of the natural history and geology of Massachusetts. These had been removed to Amherst from the State House at Boston, and con tained the geological specimens collected by Dr. Hitchcock, as well as the valuable collection of birds and animals made by Secretary Flint. The chemical laboratory, which presented a barn-like appearance and a part of which was used at first as a gymnasium, was fifty-seven by forty-six feet, and two stories in height. The Durfee plant houses, also built in 1867, were an elegant group of glass buildings, which. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Over forty such charters have been given by the legislature and, in many cases, the result has proved that the gift of a charter was not warranted by the stability Of the institution, to which was thus granted the power of conferring degrees. In many other cases, however, the institutions have grown and flourished, and have had an honorable history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from State Aid to Higher Education, Vol. 18: A Series of Addresses, Delivered at the Johns Hopkins University But notwithstanding these more or less general impres sions, it is nevertheless true that beneath and back of these specious appearances is the great fact that during the whole of the first two hundred years of our history, education in all of its grades was chiefly supported by the taxation of all the people. This is neither the time nor the place to multiply or to dwell upon details; the briefest possible notice of our educational methods in Colonial times will be enough in this connection to Show our general traditional policy. The great university at Cambridge is sometimes said to have been founded by John Harvard; but such a statement is true only in a very limited sense, for before that bene factor contributed the half of his fortune and the whole of his library and his name to the college an appropriation for that purpose had been made by the general court of the colony. This was only six years after the founding of Boston and six years before the establishment of the famous school system of Massachusetts Bay.
