Book Description
Excerpt from Our Public Schools It is not our purpose to decry, or unduly to exalt our public schools. We propose rather to inquire what views the pamphlets whose titles we have given above, and others of like character, take of the subject. What indications do they furnish that the boys and girls resorting to these schools, year after year, are in the way to become such men and women as our country deserves to have? In prosecuting this inquiry the first point to determine is, what kind and degree of education we are bound to give at the public expense. There is no saying more familiar to our ears than that the safety and permanency of our institutions depend on the general intelligence of the people. We choose persons to fill certain offices, not that they may guide us, but that they may obey us. The theory of our government is, that the intelligence, the virtue and the patriotism of the country reside in the people, and that when we call out sundry persons to make laws, and others to interpret them, and others still to execute them, they are really our servants, though we are accustomed, for some reason, to call them rulers. Standing at the polls in some of our chief city districts at a popular election, we shall scarcely recognize the dignity, independence and thoughtfulness of men having large interests at stake and looking for the most capable persons to take charge of them. If men of that description are there in any considerable number, it must be in deep disguise. To fit them for just this duty of selecting public servants, with intelligence and discrimination, is one of the prominent purposes of our free schools. We can not train them to vote for Mr. Smith or Mr. Jones, but we can train them to inquire and judge of this, among other things - whether any of the Smiths or the Joneses are proper persons to vote for, instead of following the dictation of a clique, whose first and last purpose is to serve themselves.

Excerpt from American Public Schools: History and Pedagogics The prominence. Now given to American educational history by the pedagogical departments of universities has led to a similar line of study in many state normal schools. Furthermore, these historical studies have' been emphasized during the past decade by a long series of able and exhaustive papers on the history of our public school system, published in the annual reports of the United States Commissioner of Education, and in special Bulle tins of Information.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Public Schools in the United States of America In modern times the ideas of popular Education have Sprung up as necessities. But these ideas, to a great ex tent, have been transplanted from the countries of Europe to the United States of America, hardly differently from the manner in which the Secondary School was introdu ced, the history of which extends back to the beginning of civilization in Europe. Yet the schools of Europe have gradually assumed a character, so peculiar to the different nations, that it is easy to know the German from the French or English institution. And still, though it is true that the nature of educational institutions is certainly determined to a great extent by nationality, social and political interests and the standard of civilization which has been reached by each particular nation, nevertheless the achievements of one nation in the department of education like the re searches of science, cannot long remain unknown to others. And for that reason, despite their national peculiarities, we find that the schools of all European countries have much in common, and that the fundamental ideas pervading those of England, France, Germany and Switzerland are at the present day much the same. That the results' which are achieved in the different countries are so dissimilar is ow ing to two things: Knowledge or ignorance of the best methods and the skill or deficiency of the instructors.

Book Description
Excerpt from Public Schools and the War The following pages represent an endeavor to study the effects of the war upon schools in other countries and especi ally in the United States. The first four chapters deal with some specific problems of the public schools in connection with the war and were written when the great world con ict was still going on. They show the revolutionary changes which the public schools have made in adjusting themselves to the needs of the war, and suggest the unmistakable tendencies of our educational reconstruction which is yet to come. The last two chapters were written whentthe great war had just come to an end. In them the author has tried to show, in the light of the experience of many school systems in this country, how American public education can be reorganized in order to meet the needs of the coming new world order. It is the author's hope that they may be of some value to the general discussion of educational reform. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Suggested Reforms in Public Schools Many of the laws of health have, since Dr Arnold's time, been ascertained with scientific accuracy, and emphasised strongly by medical and scientific men; and many health reforms have without doubt lately been introduced into schools, as, indeed, has been the case in society generally. But these reforms have been, almost without exception, such as, by their introduction, brought with them no necessity for any change of habit, fashion, or tradition in the school. They have been16 suggested reforms IN public schools. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Summer Work in Public Schools Former lengths of school years. During the earlier part of the nineteenth century, and even later, it was not unusual for rural and small - town children, especially girls and small boys, to attend school during a considerable part of the summer rather than during the severe winter weather. Probably the chief cause was that because of the lack of good roads and the distances that must be travelled to reach the schools, it was difficult to attend school during the winter. However, as roads were improved and as cities and towns became more numerous, the practice Of having summer terms became less common until it has become the almost universal practice for the longest vacation period of the year to come during the summer months, or perhaps to include all of them. In the larger cities Of the country conditions were different. Many, probably most, of them formerly had school years much longer than is the custom now, with Short vacations including only a small part of the summer. For example, the Commissioner of Education1 has re ported data on lengths of school years about 1841-42. Some of the lengths are reported in days, some in weeks, and some in months. Boston is stated to have had a session of 224 days, Washington of 238, Philadelphia Of and Detroit of 253. That of Cleveland was forty - three weeks in length, that of Chicago forty-eight, and that of. New York forty-nine. Brooklyn, Baltimore, and Cincinnati had eleven-month sessions, whereas Buffalo had one of twelve months. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
