Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Preliminary Report Upon a Course of Studies for Elementary Schools of the Massachusetts, State Board of Education, 1899 A course of studies intended as a guide in determining (a) the subjects of instruction that shall be pursued, (b) the time - both relative and absolute - which shall be given to the various subjects, (c) the order in which the subjects and parts of subjects shall be presented and reviewed and (d) the distribution of subjects that shall be made in the program in respect both to a proper correlation of studies and to the teaching force of the school. The questions here involved must be determined by considerations which relate to the child's nature and capacity, and by the ends which are sought to be secured in education. It is fair to presume that these considerations have been the guide of persons in making the courses of studies now in use, and any intelligent presentation of a new course or revision of an old one should be governed, in some degree at least, by the opinions of wise educators everywhere, as embodied in the courses of studies which they have made. With this thought in mind I caused to be sent to various places in this country blanks calling for the following facts in relation to the courses and programs now in actual operation: - 1. The age at which children are permitted to begin the prescribed course and the length of the course. 2. The number of exercises or recitations in each subject and grade and the average length of recitation. 3. Facts in relation to elective studies, including (a) the names of studies that are elective, (b) the grades in which they are pursued, (c) the proportion of the whole number of schools in which some of the studies are elective and (d) a statement of results observed.
