Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania State Normal Schools and Public School System This study in practical school administration was undertaken in the spring of 1910 in connection with the graduate work I was then doing at Teachers College. Grateful acknowledgment for helpful criticisms and suggestions is especially due the committee in charge of my dissertation, - Professors Monroe, Suzzallo and Strayer. I am also indebted to Professor E. L. Thorndike and Mr. M. B. Hillegas, of Teachers College, who carefully examined the statistical tables I have prepared in connection with my study. To Professor E. P. Cubberley, of Leland Stanford, Junior, University, I am indebted for the critical examination of several of the chapters and to Mr. H. B. Moore, of the Boys High School, Louisville, Kentucky, for assistance in revising my manuscript. Finally, I must take this opportunity to thank the leading educators of Pennsylvania for their suggestions and encouragement and for the careful reading of my thesis.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Notes on Pennsylvania's Public School System: With Suggestions as to Needed Changes Recently a writer representing the Carnegie Pension Foundation cast the following aspersion upon our school system: Pennsylvania has never come into a conception of education from the standpoint of the whole people; as a consequence, its public school system is still in a rudimentary state. Fortunately not all the people of New England are in such dense ignorance of what has been achieved educationally in the State of Pennsylvania. In the National Magazine for August, A. E. Winship, the well-known editor of the National Journal of Education, and who, though living in New England, has risen above the Bostonian View of the universe, calls attention by way of reply to a series of facts which should be better known to many who live in the Keystone State. This Boston editor says. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania School Journal, 1873, Vol. 22 Many such children would become shining lights, and an honor to mankind; but leave them in their ignorance, and many of them will fill our jails and work-houses. To keep them there is a far greater expense, and the probabilities are far less that they will ever be Christians, than if you give them an education such as the State now affords them. But the system does not allow us to teach religion in any positive way! No. But it allows and even sanctions us to do a great deal that leads to positive religion. If that were all, we could also say that many Sunday-schools teach religion in no positive way. And yet we feel sure that Sunday-schools can be so conducted that they do teach religion. Shall we entirely abandon the great pet of America, be cause it fails in some hands and in some localities, to answer the end for which it was instituted? The remedy is in another direction. What is true of the Sunday-schools is, in this respect, largely true of the public schools. Place them in proper hands, and you will get good results.

This book was released on 2017-01-18 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania School Journal, 1877, Vol. 26 The conference recommended the use of reading books based on the sciences, and not on the worn-out systems of the past or the gathered nonsense of the present. It was time. A reading-book for children should be large - very large. We should also have educational libraries for the young. Equally neces sary are school museums, to enable teachers to give object lessons with effect. They favor walks by teach ers and scholars to places where nature can be studied to the best advantage, and visits to museums and monuments for the purpose of learning history, &c. The doctrine is, all comes through the senses. Success to the one that goes farthest in showing us what children should be allowed to see, and down with the teacher who prates of subjects which children cannot understand, and which consequently destroy all their originality. The congress gave attention also to the means to be employed in developing the artistic taste of chil dren. The method proposed was again educational walks, the observation -of nature, of leaves, ﬂowers, works of architecture, drawing. You see at once the drift of the discussion. I am persuaded that some educational walks will soon constitute a part of our sys tem of education. They also insisted that more time should be devoted to the teaching of drawing, that lessons on this subject should be given every day. Music should form a part of every course in all ele mentary schools, and many hold that gymnastics con tributes towards the development of a taste for the beautiful. Of the truth of this latter Opinion 1 am not altogether sure. A young teacher, in a paper well considered and well written, took the ground that there ought to be in each Canton an extra teacher to take the place of any one sick or necessarily absent.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from School History of Berks County in Pennsylvania The author of this book compiled "The History of Berks County," and in 1885 caused it to be published in a royal octavo volume of 1200 pages. Immediately afterward, certain teachers of our public schools suggested to him the utility of compiling a history for the use of the schools, in order to enable the children of the county to acquire special knowledge of their own locality, in which they were mostly interested, as well as general knowledge of this entire country and of foreign countries. It was believed that in this way they would be led to read of and investigate matters and things in the surrounding country with which they were now, or would shortly become, more immediately connected, and also to exercise their perceptive faculties in their daily school life, rather than their imagination; from which they could then be led, as inclination or necessity might dictate, into larger divisions of territory and into more comprehensive knowledge, after their faculties had become sufficiently matured to be interested in them, and more especially to understand them; and it was further believed that knowledge of this kind, thus acquired, would develop a tendency to acquire general historical knowledge.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Higher Education in Pennsylvania The college buildings, located on a beautiful campus of 13 acres, are four in number, al'l constructed of brick. Bentley Hall, erected during the presidency of Dr. Alden, consists of a central building three stories in height and two wings of two stories each, besides a basement, which was until recently used for laboratories and shops. The building is devoted to class rooms, society halls, and the office of the president. Ruter Hall, completed in 1855, is a large three-story building which contains the chapel, the library of volumes, and the museum, comprising a collection of specimens of unusual value for the study of geology, mineralogy, and natural history. Hulings Hall, constructed in 1881 by gifts from Marcus Hulings, of Oil City, and citizens of Meadville, is a large four-story dormitory, with accommo dation for 60 young women. The Wilcox Hall of Science, the gift of the late Robertson Wilcox, of Girard, was completed in 1893. It is 61 by 45 feet and three stories in height, and contains lecture rooms and laboratories well adapted to instruction in science.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Contribution of Connecticut to the Common School System of Pennsylvania Of all the colonies in America, Pennsylvania was the most mixed in population, religion and language. Among the nation alities represented were Dutch, Swedes, English, Germans, scotch-irish, Welsh, Swiss and a few French. In religion there were Quakers, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Catholics, Baptists, Lutherans, Reformed and the various other German sects whose number it is difficult to estimate. With all these groups the working out Of a common educational practice was far more difficult and a slower process than among the homogeneous settlers in the New England states. Religious and consequent political antagonisms appear as a prominent factor in the final educational adjustment which was wrought out in our Common wealth by the adoption in 1834 - 5 Of a state system Of common schools.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Educational System of Pennsylvania It seemed best to divide the "Educational System of Pennsylvania" into three parts or divisions: Part I treats of the elements contributing to the system, and tells how, out of such a conglomerate of people with much diversity of opinions, ideals, and beliefs, a general plan was at last formed and accepted. Part II treats of the system as planned and formulated by law. Part III shows what the system is in actual practice. Of Part I we claim no original material, but at least some new interpretation of old facts. Part II discusses the system in a different and, we believe, a better planned and more systematized way than has ever before been undertaken. In Part III the working of the system is described from our own experience, which includes work done in the common, ungraded country school, the city graded school, the State Normal School, and the college. Thus from personal experience in and with the system we obtain the information upon which almost the entire contents of Part III are founded. It will be noticed that the system led the people rather than the people urged forward the system. Governor Wolfe sacrificed the office of governor a second term for the system's foundation, and likewise Governor Bigler urged its improvement by the law of 1854, though fully realizing that it meant his political death. Fortunately for the system the successors of both these governors stood by the ideas of their predecessors on school matters.

This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Status of County Teachers Institutes in Pennsylvania The present study is an attempt to determine the efficiency of County Teachers' Institutes in Pennsylvania. That there is a need for determining whether or not the county institute is functioning or whether it is contributing materially to the actual improvement and present needs of the teaching profession in Pennsylvania, can be readily ascertained by an examination of the literature bearing on Institutes, not only in Pennsylvania but thruout the United States. It is beyond the purpose of this investigation to review this literature or to quote from it to any greater extent than will shed light on our problem. Two outstanding studies on "Teachers Institutes" are those by Smart in 1885, and by Ruediger in 1911. These are both national in scope. The former is a valuable collection of data and judgment that constitute a veritable brief for the institute. The latter study considers the institute as an agency in the improvement of teachers in service. It was in this study that the further value of institutes was begun to be questioned, tho even in Smart's "Circular of Information" we see striking evidences of warning and doubt. Commissioner of Education Eaton in submitting Smart's comprehensive survey used this significant sentence: The aims, purposes, and methods of conducting these institutes in the several states are exceedingly diverse. It is evident that the institutes as a whole have been a means of great good and have probably been worth all they have cost; but it is also clear that, from lack of thorough organization and professional management, they have produced only a part of the good results possible. The facts presented in this report show that institutes may not only be valueless practically, but a positive source of mischief to the teachers and to the schools. A quotation from Ruediger's study shows further evidence of doubt as to the efficacy of the institutes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The head is large; the face large, and probably ruddy; the lips large; the eye gray or light-blue; the hair reddish-brown; the ear large, with a big lobe; the hands big; the body inclined to be plump, and the joints large and clumsy. The minds of this type are slow, but, at the same time, receptive; they are good natured and heavy, but they bear disa point ment badly, and punishment of all kin 5 very badly. Neither much work nor much play is in them. These are the types of the rheumatical diathesis. You will find in them, as family physical taints, rheumatism, neuralgia, gout, as direct conditions of natural habit; and epilepsy, heart-disease, and dropsy, as the secondary or indirect manifestations of the primitive taint which they have inherited.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania The object of the series of hand books of which this is the pioneer is to give in compact form the salient facts relating to the history, development and present social, economic and political status of the different States of the Union. To those who are interested in any special phase of the development of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, it is hoped this book will be a guide for more comprehensive study than is afforded by its pages. It has been sought to treat as completely as possible in each chapter such matters as are essential to a full understanding of the physical characteristics, the aborigines, the colonists and later emigrants, the framework of government as first established and as it exists today. A study is made of the daily life of the people and methods of administration, of governmental, religious, social and domestic affairs, of State finance, of the sources of wealth, of the churches and other religious bodies, of conditions affecting the home, and the educational system, the professions, literature, art, science, and finally of penology. Great pains have been taken to verify the statistics to the latest date available. No one of the original States of the Union has had a greater influence than Pennsylvania; her natural wealth, her geographical position, her varied types of settlers have all combined to this end.
