Book Description
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.

Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

Book Description
Excerpt from On Andover Hill: Life Today in an Old New England School Many American preparatory schools draw their students chiefly from one section; Phillips Academy, however, has always been national in its membership and outlook Among its early patrons were not only Lowells and Quincys from Massachusetts, but Washingtons and Lees from Virginia. Its latest catalogue lists boys from more than forty states and from twelve foreign countries. There can't be much provinciality in a community in which a lad from Buffalo may room with the son of a Georgia planter, Sit down to dinner beside a native of Siam, and play football opposite a classmate from Seattle or San Francisco On one Andover eleven not long ago each member was from a different State.

Book Description
When the early colonists came to America, they were braving a new world, with new wonders and difficulties. Family historians beginning the search for their ancestors from this period run into a similar adventure, as research in the colonial period presents a number of exciting challenges that genealogists may not have experienced before. This book is the key to facing those challenges. This new book, Researching Your Colonial New England Ancestors, leads genealogists to a time when their forebears were under the rule of the English crown, blazing their way in that uncharted territory. Patricia Law Hatcher, FASG, provides a rich image of the world in which those ancestors lived and details the records they left behind. With this book in hand, family historians will be ready to embark on a journey of their own, into the unexplored lines of their colonial past.

Book Description
Excerpt from Once Upon a Time in Rhode Island This book is published by the Society of Colonial Dames in Rhode Island for the benefit of children in Rhode Island schools, and of Rhode Island children who, though not in school, ought to know and be interested in the early history of the State. Miss Pyle has not tried to settle the many disputed points in early Rhode Island history, or to make her book in any way a systematic narrative account. Her object has been, rather, to interest her readers in the past by a series of pictures or stories, presented with all possible accuracy in matters of fact, but at the same time in language suited to young people. In such a book, tradition and imagination have their place as well as assured fact, and a story may illuminate a period more effectively than an orderly narrative. Throughout the volume, controverted questions have, for obvious rea sons, been avoided SO far as possible, and, where they could not be avoided altogether, they have been handled impartially.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Church and Popular Education England was the direct outgrowth of ministerial in uence upon the law-makers of the first colonies of Plymouth, Massachusetts and Connecticut. The phraseology of and historic comment on those early laws which established common schools, grammar schools and co'lleges, show that the underlying motive for all these foundations was to continue the supply of an educated ministry for the churches, good leaders for the State, and to prevent the extinction of learning among the people. In New England local history there is nothing more characteristic of those simple religious communities, wherein town and church were practically one in spirit, than the systematic support of preaching and teaching.

Book Description
Excerpt from Easy Lessons in Geography and History: Designed for the Use of the Younger Classes in the New England Schools The work he prepared on this plan, was of very humble pretensions, it having been no part of the author's design to give a complete system, in an abridged form, of the subjects to which it relates. It was simply what it pro fessed to bow-easy Lessons in Geography and History; designed not to be a substitute for other works of the kind, but rather to serve as an introduction to others. As it respects the present edition, which, as I it is stereotyped, is intended to be of a per manent form, the author trusts that it will be found to be an improvement on the former editions. The whole work has been re-written and considerably enlarged, and the catecheti cal form, which was at first adopted, has been exchanged for the familiar conversation, or the continued narrative, accompanied with questions, either interspersed through thework, or, as in the case with the Second Part, placed at the bottom of the page. These changes, though they may not lessen the labor of the teacher, will, it is believed, render the book more attractive to the pupil, and thereby facilitate his progress. The teacher is earnestly requested to attend to the directions which will be found scattered in various parts of the book; as, otherwise, the design of the author will be, in a great measure, frustrated. He is particularly anxious that the method he has recommended, in regard to the use of maps and the black board, should be tested by a fair experiment, wherever this book may be used.

Book Description
Excerpt from When First We Go to School September has come again. Once more the school-house doors are Open. What a troop of little children will enter for the first time. As we watch them, let us remember that it is the first time. Heretofore Johnny has played for long hours, noisily or quietly, as fancy dictated The boy's will is the wind's will, and it will not be easy to obey iron clad rules. Initiate him gradually into the routine of school work. The Course of Study in reading, number, and perhaps literature and nature study, has been made out by the school board, in graded schools, and must be accomplished. There may be different ways in which it can be done, but we will not interfere with or discuss these we will plan work and entertainment for the first half hour in the morning, recreation periods, and the seat work that is usually left to the discretion of the teacher. Instead of correlating reading and number and nature study from day to day, why not choose some subject for thought and study broad enough to cover a month's work; one not lacking in variety, and with room for comparison and some play of the imagination?

Book Description
Excerpt from History of the State Normal School, Farmington, Maine: With Sketches The publication of this history has been undertaken for a threefold purpose: first, to preserve records that it would have been impossible to secure in a few years; secondly, to show how important a place the School has filled, and is filling, in the educational work of the State; and, thirdly, to create a new interest among the gradu ates for the School and for one another, by strengthening the ties of those early, school-day friendships that have grown weak by time and distance, and the cares and burdens of life.
