Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Educators and Their Ideals The present work is intended mainly for students of pedagogy in colleges or normal schools, teachers and other practical workers in educational fields, and those parents who take a special interest in the problems of education. It aims to give a general idea of the educational views of great philosophers and reformers in modern times, which form the basis of the present-day education in its ideals and practice. The author's endeavor has been to present the fundamental ideas of these thinkers and epoch makers in a concise and coherent form, and with a sympathetic interpretation. An academic criticism or amplification of any theories is purposely avoided; and very little is added to what each writer has said for himself, beyond that which was found necessary to make the connection of thought clearer and its significance more comprehensible to the reader. Thus the book practically consists of excerpts from the main works of the thinkers here chosen, which are either put in their original form or modified by the author so as to meet the extent and intent of the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin and Ideals of the Modern School ON October 12, 1909, Francisco Ferrer y Guardia was shot in the trenches of the Montjuich Fortress at Barcelona. A Military Council had found him guilty of being head of the insurrection which had, a few months before, lit the flame of civil war in the city and province. The clergy had openly petitioned the Spanish Premier, when F errer was arrested, to look to the Modern School and its founder for the source of the revolutionary feeling; and the Premier had, instead of rebuking them, promised to do so. When F errer was arrested the prosecution spent many weeks in collecting evidence against him, and granted a free pardon to several men who were implicated in the riot, for testifying against him. These three or four men were the only witnesses out of fifty who would have been heard patiently in a civil court of justice, and even their testimony would at once have.

This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work, Alexander Rosenthal Pubul presents a broad examination of the ancient philosophical question: “What is the good life?”, while addressing how the liberal arts can help us to answer this question. Greek philosophy distinguished between the “noble” (what is good in itself), from the merely “useful” (good for something else). From thence follows the distinction between the liberal arts which pursue such noble goods and the mechanical arts which are only instrumental. For Aristotle, the most noble and excellent good is wisdom itself. Hence the theoretic life devoted to the love of wisdom for its own sake –philosophy - is the highest and the most excellent. This work theorizes the origins of modernity in a rebellion against this Greek conception resulting in a complete inversion of the classical hierarchy. Sir. Francis Bacon reconceiving the purpose of knowledge as power, enthroned technology over philosophy and the liberal arts. The unfolding of the modern Baconian revolution progressively sidelines the liberal arts, as practical economic and technical utility become the standard of value. In assessing this problem, the book engages in a capacious journey across disciplines like philosophy, history, art, politics, and science. It is also a veritable tour across the Western intellectual tradition including Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Seneca, Thomas Aquinas, Bacon, Descartes, Hume, Kant, Nietzsche, Dewey, Berdyaev, Einstein, and Heidegger. It pleads the urgent need to preserve the humanizing cultural ideals of the ancient classics against the modern tyranny of utility and the dangers of a new barbarism.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Joyous Wayfarers: An Account of Some Modern Ideals in Education It is many years since the old schoolmaster found the Lady Jane absorbed in reading Plato while all the others of the houshold were hunting in the park - "reading Plato's 'Phaedo' in Greek, and that with as much delight as some gentleman would read a merry tale in 'Boccaccio.'" It is less than a year since a Liverpool boy was found reading "Samson Agonistes" in the train, and that with perchance even more delight than other boys were reading Comic Cuts and The Union Jack. Was it for an examination? Not so, shrewd reader, no more in his case than in hers. The reason, if the truth must be told, was in both cases the same. It was a schoolmaster, one "who teacheth me so gentlie" (as the gentle lady hath it), "so pleasantly, with such fair allurements to learning that I think all the time nothing whiles I am with him." The boy used not these exact words, but "words to the same defect." To hear this same schoolmaster talk his free mind on the things he has most at heart, to give us the values as he sees them of those things which count most for the future of the world, to watch him at work in his class and catch the tricks of the tool's true play - this has been my privilege, who have been invited to a private view, and I am right glad this privilege is so soon to be shared by all. "I wiss all their pleasure in the park is but a shadow to he pleasure that I find in reading"; so said the studious lady. So say I.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Theory of Motives, Ideals, and Values in Education It becomes, therefore, a part of my obligation to dis cuss civilization, success, education, and progress, for until the terms are defined, neither agreement nor con elusion, neither satisfaction nor enlightenment is possi ble. I must, of course, take for granted certain matters, for education is not a basic science, but rather one that utilizes as its own postulates the conclusions of other sciences. Indeed, by some, the proposition that educa tion is a science is challenged. In this book, I do not discuss these postulates, though I state and, in some instances, illustrate them. The philosophy of education is not quite synonymous with the science of teaching, and the profession of edu cation is not at all coterminous with the art. Teaching is artistic education architectural, architectonic. From want of this distinction, there have been confusion and conflict. This distinction I draw, following it with various conclusions and applications that appear pertinent to the needs and conditions of this American democracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These papers, reprinted with slight additions from the pages of the “New Republic,” through the courtesy of the editors, do not pretend to be anything more than glimpses and paraphrases of new tendencies in the American school and college. The public school is the most interesting and the most hopeful of our American social enterprises during these days of sluggishness for us and dreary horror for the rest of the world. It is becoming one of the few rational and one of the few democratic things we have, and science and hope are laying a foundation upon which a really self-conscious society could build almost anything it chose. The school fascinates me because there is almost no sociological, administrative or psychological truth that cannot be drawn out of its manifold life. It is the laboratory for human nature, and the only one that is simple enough to study with any prospect of quick enlightenment. Experiment in education has come to stay, and this means that we have it in our hands to approach ever more closely our ideal of education as living. We can make the school ever more and more nearly that child-community life towards which our best endeavor points. The point-of-view of these papers will be recognized as the product of an enthusiasm for the educational philosophy of John Dewey. But what is a good philosophy for except to paraphrase? The discovery of truisms means merely that my enthusiasms are being communicated to an unappreciative reader. Certainly the most recent educational sensation indicates that there are still crowds of professional educators and parents to whom such ideas are not truisms. To see education, not as a preparation for life or as a process segregated from other activities, but as identical with living, takes more imagination than most teachers have yet acquired. If the school is a place where children live intensively and expressively, it will be a place where they will learn. The ideal educational system would continue with the adult all through his or her active life, sharpening skill, interpreting experience, providing intellectual tools with which to express and enjoy. Just as education and play should be scarcely separable for the little child, so education and work should be scarcely separable for the adult. By closing off the school and boxing up learning we have really smothered education. We are only just beginning to revive. We have first to make over the school into a real child-community, filled with activities which stimulate the child and focus his interest towards some constructive work, and then we have to teach the teacher how to expose the child to the various activities and guide his interest so that it will be purposeful. The school can thus become a sifter where children unconsciously as they live along from day to day are choosing the ways in which they can best serve both themselves and their community as workers and citizens in the great scheme. The papers on the Gary schools are reprinted not because I wish to exploit the system or its superintendent, but because of the usefulness of a concrete example to hang wandering theory to. The schools of Mr. Wirt’s conception, in spite of many inadequacies of realization, still seem to me the happiest framework I have yet found in the American public school for the fulfillment of the new educational ideals. No one can deny that in the actual schools much of the[Pg viii] old unconsciousness and regimentation still stick their unwelcome head through, but my somewhat naïve impressions do reflect, I am sure, a spirit which is there, and a possibility that is very near for the American community to catch. To praise one thing, however, is not to damn everything else, and it would be false to pretend that almost every city in our country has not latent within its system the embryo of the modern school. Some are simply more conscious than others. Some actually envisage education as living.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ideal Teacher Teaching will be a profession when we have learned the need of thorough scholarly equipment, and single minded devotion to our daily and hourly duties in the school-room, under the guidance of those larger ideals which the world has set up for the protection of its cherished values. Nothing less than expert knowledge, tempered by a spirit of reverent ministry to those placed under our tuition, will ever make us professional teachers. Teaching will be a fine art when the situations of schoolroom life are made to call for the best in teacher and pupil. In such a soil of noble motivation the highest powers of human beings thrive. The teacher who drives or is driven, who forces himself or his children through stated tasks, without any sense of their significance, will not find teaching congenial. He will never know that absorption which is the essence of art. Half-heartedly he will teach, his other, more imperious impulses beckoning him away to another life. And while he stays, he will know only that pain of conflict which destroys the possibility of happy work. To achieve real success, teaching must be kept an interesting business, where the free impulses of children and teachers are so used as to accomplish useful things happily.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Educational Ideal: An Outline of Its Growth in Modern Times A natural education is not one, as is too often supposed, in which the child is left to grow up, as he may, subject to the chances of his environment, a prey to his own inclina tions. It is not one in which he is kept aloof from man, in a forced communion with non-human things. Neither is it one unwisely trusted to the instincts of a natural, but un trained affection. Still less is it one in which the old ped agogic drill in formal studies is thrown aside to give place to a pseudo-scientific playing, a vague and formless potter ing with objective phenomena. The real natural educa tion is that aimed at in the best endeavor of to-day, in which the child, from the moment of his birth, is steadily, rationally, and intelligently developed, by trained and sym pathetic minds, towards the best manhood possible to him. Such an education is not simply mental; it is physical; above all, it is moral. In it, the child's individuality is preserved, but is pruned and guided; he himself furnishes the impulse towards his own development, but the channels in which this force acts, the ends towards which it directs itself, are determined for him. A natural education is one in which the subject taught is secondary to the manner of teaching; in which the task done is subsidiary to the effect of doing it; in which the question to be asked at the com pletion of an educational step is not, What has the child learned? But, What has the child become? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneers of Modern Education: 1600 1700 The book, however, aims at a wider survey than a purely English one; and in the foreign section the writer has tried to indicate the great services (too seldom even named in text books of educational history) which were rendered to the world by St jean-baptiste de la Salle. As a foil to the ideals of education or of instruction presented by the innovators, the actual practice of the seventeenth-century school - room, reformed and unreformed, is described on the authority Of those who knew it at first hand. It is hoped that a full index, biblio graphy and tables of contents and of dates will increase the usefulness of the book to students of the history of Education.
