It could never hope to cover the whole system of u dowed schools. Even where it reformed it could not reach the inner life of the schools and therein lay the gravest need of change.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Century of Education: Being a Concise History of the Rise and Progress of the Public Schools The rise and progress of public free schools in Providence is one of the most interesting and important features in its history, and the centennial year, so replete with patriotic memories, is a period eminently appropriate in which to place its educational story on record. In doing this the author has deemed it proper to bring into view the action of the town as early as 1663, and also the efforts of men on behalf of the common schools, whose enlarged ideas placed them in advance of the popular sentiment of the time. Their disinterested labors, though not immediately successful, prepared the way for the success of others who took up the work where they left it, and have secured for them an honored place among public benefactors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty Years of American Education: A Sketch of the Progress of Education in the United States But progress in mechanical inventions is but one phase of the development of science. Per haps the most significant changes of all have taken place in medicine. Forty years ago, says Sir William Osler, the world did not know the cause Of any of the great infections. Of all the great camp diseases plague, cholera, malaria, yellow fever, typhoid fever, typhus, and dysentery we know the mode of transmission, and of all but yellow fever, the germs. Man has now control of the most malign of Nature's forces in a way never dreamt of by our fathers. Half a century has done more than a hundred centuries to solve the problem of the first importance in his progress. Such are a few of the revolutionary changes which science has ushered in in the brief period of the half century which will, it seems, be known in history as the scientific age. Darwin's epochal discovery had been given to the world in I 8 59. Huxley, Spencer, Pasteur, Berthelot, Joule, Clerk Maxwell, Tait, and Kelvin were at work and Faraday was still alive when the period we are studying began. The creation of the sciences, always a slow process, had reached a period of intensification. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief Survey of Educational Progress During the Decade 1900 to 1910 The purpose of this survey is to set forth some of the more salient features of educational development in the United States during the first decade of the new century. No one who has watched this growth will believe that it is possible to express it in any sort of completeness by statistical methods alone; but some of the more general and objective features can be handled in this manner, and by means of comparisons; general movements forward or backward may be seen. School statistics generally avail able, however, are faulty, and no amount-of effort can correct them so long as the various States ask for returns on different and varying bases. Hence all general conclusions reached as a result of the study of the educational statistics of the country must be taken with due allo'wance unless supported by evidence from other sources. It may not be out of place at this point to say that this office is working with all diligence to get correct and comparable returns from all States and that a plan presented looking toward this end has been indorsed by the 'department of Superintendence of the National Educational Association at the Mobile meeting in 1911. Within the coming decade it is expected that more reliable returns will'be available and that they will be ready for publication in the year to which they relate. At any rate, this bureau is determined to make the attempt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief History of Education: A History of the Practice and Progress and Organization of Education The present volume is an abridgment and condensation of my History of Education, issued in 1920, and has been prepared to meet the needs of normal schools and colleges which desire to teach the general history of education, but which do not have the time or the inclination to go into the subject in such detail as IS glven in the larger volume above referred to. The general plan of the two books is the same. Like the larger History of Education, the present volume is a history of the practice and progress and organization of educa tion itself, rather than a history of educational theory, and pre sents the history of education as a phase of the history of the rise and development and spread of our Western civilization. As in the larger volume, ' I have 'tried here to present such a picture of the rise, struggle for existence, growth, and recent great expan sion of the idea of the improvability of the race and the elevation and emancipation of the individual through education as would be most illuminating and useful to students of the subject. To this end I have traced the great forward steps in the emancipation of the intellect of man, and the efforts to perpetuate the progress made through the organization of educational institutions to pass on to others what had been attained.

Every one is anxious to get on in the world, and recognizes that knowledge is power. The modern system of written examinations tends to a wrong idea of education. Unfor tunately character has no value in deciding whether or not a candi date is to pass an examination. The boy who fails in algebra may be debarred from matriculation, even though his principles are good. On the other hand, 'one who has not sufficient will power to abstain from the use of cigars may be admitted to the university by barely making one-third of the marks in each subject.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Century of Educational Progress in New Brunswick, 1800-1900 There was no school for the blind in New Brunswick, but children from that Province were sent to the Nova Scotia School for the Blind at Halifax. Their expenses were borne at the rate per pupil of $75 from the Provincial Treasury, and $7 5 from the county sending the child. The century of development which has been traced has had to deal almost entirely with elementary education. Al though begun about the same time, the Grammar Schools underwent comparatively few changes. But for the Parish Schools the first attempts at support by taxation were made, and for them the Board Of Education was evolved. The first Superintendent was also for Parish Schools. Finally, however, a system of education was evolved which included the Grammar Schools and was in close contact with the Uni versity, so that the year 1900 found New Brunswick with elementary schools in every district, which graded into the Superior and Grammar Schools, and these in turn fed the University.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public Education in California: Its Origin and Development, With Personal Reminiscences of Half a Century After my retirement from active public - school service, a number of my friends urged me, as a matter of duty that I owed to my profession, to prepare for publication a volume which should include an outline of my long and varied experience in educational affairs. Rather reluctantly, I finally ventured on the experiment of writing a book in which the personal narrative should be made the thread for binding together various educational footnotes, including sketches of the common schools and rural academies which I attended in New Hampshire about the middle of the nineteenth century, and also the salient points in the development of public schools in California, the state which opened for me the gate of opportunity. It has not been easy for me to write about my own work, and I have ceased 'to wonder why the autobiographies of American public school teachers are so few in number.

While much of the criticism of the public schools that appears in the newspapers is captious and irrational, while many are disappointed in the schools because they expect too much, yet it is still pertinent to inquire what may reasonably be expected from the schools.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Secondary Education in the Nineteenth Century The following pages deal only with England and Wales. Though foreign education exercised considerable inﬂuence in this country, the nineteenth century was far more national than the sixteenth. The English Renaissance re presented the effect of a self-conscious civilisation on a people which felt the inferiority of its own culture, whereas in the nineteenth century Englishmen, in consequence of their industrial supremacy, were led to an undue deprecia tion of other nations. English education in Tudor times can only be treated as a branch of the tree whose roots were in Italy: from whatever quarter the seed of our nine teenth century education was brought, it had a life which was all its own. Moreover, the translation of ideas into practice followed quite different lines in England and abroad. In France and Germany educational systems were created by the State; in England institutions grew up with a minimum of State intervention. Comparative edu cation is a study of the greatest importance, but it is based on the recognition of a difference in educational development in different countries rather than on an attempt to find a unity between them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education and Social Progress Education, not in the old narrow sense of school teaching, but as comprising all the forces that develop the powers and form the minds and characters of the young, is now recognised as the most important method of social intervention, and the most powerful means by which democracy can secure the realisation of its ideals. As a consequence, there is growing up a new body of educational literature less specialised in substance and less narrow in aim and interest than that which has hitherto been common. It is the aim of this volume to present some of those wider aspects of education, and to show the part that education, properly interpreted and exercised, may play in removing the barriers to social progress, and in im proving the condition of the whole body politic.
