Book Description
Excerpt from Elementary Education Pacific divisions enroll only 18 per cent, having a much smaller ratio of children of school age. In a reading population one section understands the motives of the other, and this prevents political differences from becoming too wide for solution by partisan politics. When one section cannot any longer accredit the other with honest and patriotic motives, war is only a question of time. That this general prevalence of elementary education is accompanied by a comparative neglect of the secondary and higher courses of study is evident from the fact that out of the number of pupils enrolled more than ninety-five in every hundred are pursuing elementary studies; less than four in a hundred are in secondary studies in high schools, acade mies and other institutions; only one in a hundred (13 in one thousand) is in a college or a school for higher studies. In considering the reasons for the increase of the length of the term of the elementary school and its adoption of a graded course of study, one comes upon the most important item of improvement that belongs to the recent history of education, namely, the introduction of professionally trained teachers. The first normal school established in the United States recently celebrated its fiftieth anniversary. It was founded at Lexington, Massachusetts, in 1839. The num ber of public normal schools supported by the state or municipal governments has increased since that year to 167, enrolling students, and graduating nearly per annum. To this number are to be added 1 78 private normal schools, with an aggregate of students and graduates. In 1880 there were 240 normal school students in each million of inhabitants; in 1897 there were 936, or nearly four times as many in each million.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Broader Elementary Education In the conviction, also, that there can be no fundamental study of education that does not seek to ascertain the end education should strive to reach, and the impulses and capacities it must appeal to, and that there can be no rational teaching that is not based on definite notions as to these matters, he has endeavored to present those notions as clearly as may be; and he has sought to base all his recommendations as to practice upon his conclusions. A prominent feature of the book is the emphasis laid upon the doctrine that there is a place for the will in education. The current theory inherited from Herbart, and by him from Rousseau, that everything should be made to depend upon interest, that there should be no must in education.

Book Description
Excerpt from Fundamentals in Elementary Education The subject matter of this book is a direct outgrowth of the experiences of the Department of Education in the State Normal School at Warrensburg, Missouri, in giving courses in Education to beginners in that subject. During the ten years of the experiment, the major portion of the material has been tried out in more than one hundred fifty classes, taught by well-trained teachers. The book is de signed primarily for students in Teacher-training Classes in Education in high schools, and in Elementary Courses in normal schools; and it is well adapted to Teachers' Reading Circles. It might well be used as an Introductory Course in Education in colleges or in College Courses in normal schools. The author has tried to keep in the foreground the function of the elementary school as the greatest single agency in a democracy for the education of its children, and, while no effort has been made to exhaust the topics concerning elementary schools, an attempt has been made to discuss the fundamental ones with considerable detail and thoroughness. Practically all of the Problems presented at the end of each chapter may be answered from the subject matter contained in the text, and the experiences of the teacher and students. The selected readings are intended chiefly for supplementary purposes, and for those students who have access to a good library. It is needless to state that the writer claims no large degree of originality for the volume, because he has drawn freely upon pedagogical literature as it relates to the elementary school.

Book Description
Excerpt from Pestalozzi and Elementary Education IN placing the name of Pestalozzi after those of Rousseau and Spencer, in the list of great educators, we render rightful tribute to a man of heart, a man of action', praiseworthy in both, who is not well enough known in France, where he is by turns cried down, neglected, or unduly exalted, but who, impartially judged, merits one of the chief places in the golden book of the history of education.

Book Description
Excerpt from Elementary Schools To write even a very small book which shall be useful on a highly controversial question is not easy. And the fact that the question is in a transition state makes it no easier. Yet it seemed desirable to publish something at the present time for the use of the younger clergy, which should supply them with a general view of the history of the Education question, and should also indicate some of those great principles which must always guide the Church's policy on that subject. The writer has endeavoured to confine himself as far as possible to facts and principles, adding a few practical hints on teaching and manage ment.
