Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Free School System of the United States The aim of the following pages is to supply for English Educational reformers the means of insight into the operation of the American system of Elementary Education. If it should be objected that the social conditions of England and the United States lie at extremes which render comparisons useless or fallacious, it may be replied, that successive Governments have recognised the policy of examining the educational systems of various countries, with the view of adopting for our own use the best methods found anywhere in practice. Moreover, international comparisons are now forced upon all countries by international competition. That the experience of the United States furnishes valuable lessons for England the writer trusts will be made clear. Notwithstanding the differences which exist in the circumstances of the two countries, the type of the inhabitants is. essentially the same. Nor are the ideas to which Americans attach the greatest importance in education foreign to England. Local self-government is not the conception of American politicians. The people of the United States borrowed the principle from England, and making it the foundation of their Education system, demonstrated the advantages of its application in such a manner. Neither is free education an exotic in England. Of all English schools the free schools have been the most popular. By making education universally free the Americans have made the common school the most popular and successful institution of that country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Public-School System of the United States The material contained in this volume will consist of the most important of the data that I collected during a journey extending over a period of more than five months, made under the auspices of "The Forum," for the purpose of studying the public-school system of the United States. The facts presented in the first part of the present work do not vary materially from those presented in a series of articles recently published in that magazine. The matter contained in the second part, however, - the part devoted exclusively to the compositions written by the children and the drawings made by them, - appears here for the first time. In undertaking this journey it was my aim not only to learn what methods of instruction were commonly followed in our country, and the general condition of our schools, but also to investigate the manner in which the schools of different cities were managed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A School History of the United States The object aimed at in the preparation of this book was to produce a systematic, brief, clear, and authentic history of the United States for the use of schools. The plan is simple. N o arbitrary division into historical periods and eras is employed, but each chapter embraces associated events and forms a natural link in an unbroken chain. A strictly chronological order of arrangement is followed, whereby occurrences are shown in their true relation to one another, and to their causes. The most important dates are made prominent in the text by a peculiar type. A condensed record of general progress is placed at the end of almost every chapter, designed to interest the pupil in the civil and domestic character of the country, and in employments, institutions, and ideas not directly connected with wars, politics, or national legislation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from School History of the United States of America IN response to an urgent demand for a text-book on United States History of convenient size and adapted to the needs of pupils in the seventh and eighth grades of elementary schools, this book has been written. It will be noticed that this history is somewhat smaller than others written for the same grades. This reduction in size has been accomplished, not by excluding any essential or important fact Of history, but by the omission of unnecessary detail; and yet details have not been omitted to the extent Of making the narrative dry and uninteresting, The leading events of United States history are herein set forth in such manner as to show their relations and historical significance and to give a fair general idea of the causes and the results of the great issues which have affected the life and the government of the American people.

In these schools pupils learn patriotism and obedience to constituted authority to an extent untaught and unpracticed in many homes. The acquirement of knowledge is ofiered in a system which only enormous funds and the painstaking endeav ors of selected instructors could make possible. As the State furnishes so it benefits. The child of today is the statesman of tomorrow. Competence is so general that no man is considered unreplaceable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from School History of the United States It is also thought that some books by Southern authors are either unsuitable for the schoolroom, or lose their value by an attempt to be neutral, and hence colorless, on the great questions that have divided the sections, and that, compiling from Northern histories, they have fallen into many of their errors. For some twenty years I have been collecting material and pre paring myself for the task, studying earnestly not only the best of the current histories, but original sources of information as well, and diligently seeking to reach the exact truth on all disputed points. Born, reared, and educated on Southern soil, following for four years with youthful devotion the battle-ﬂag of the Southern Confed cracy, for twelve years Secretary of the Southern Historical Society, and during all of these years devoting time and close attention to American history, I may claim that I have had some facilities for ascertaining facts, and some qualifications for preparing, a history of the United States which shall be acceptable to the South, and fit to be taught in her schools.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Graded Schools in the United States of America In view of the growing interest in Secondary Education in the United Kingdom and the important problems awaiting solution, the Gilchrist Trustees decided in the early part of 1893 to send five women teachers to America, for the purpose of studying and reporting upon Secondary Schools for Girls and Institutions for the Training of Women in different parts of the States. The Trustees made their intention widely known, and invited the governing bodies of the various women's colleges and associations of teachers to submit to them names of persons specially qualified. The Trustees received in this way a list of some of the ablest and most experienced women teachers in the country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the American System of Graded Free Schools: To the Board of Trustees and Visitors of Common Schools It is hardly possible to overrate the evils consequent upon a frequent change of teachers, for scarcely any two persons have the same methods, and the one who follows has no opportunity to become acquainted, by actual observation, with the condition of the school, or the methods of his predecessor. The one has departed, before the other arrives. He enters the school a stranger to the children and the parents, unacquainted with the relative propensity and aptitude, the disposition and habits of the different scholars, ignorant of the course pursued by former teachers, and with the prospect, probably, of retir ing himself at the end of three or four months. The progress of the school must, therefore, be delayed, while he is learning his position; the work which was begun by his predecessor will be arrested, in many cases, perhaps, be performed over again, and thus the children will often spend the whole period of his term, in retracing their steps in a new book, or according to a new plan. Under such a state of things, there will be movement, but little real progress. Scarcely less will be the injurious consequences resulting from frequent interruption in the session of the school, and from long vacations, which render it necessary to dwell much longer on the different subjects of study.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of Free, Schools in the United States: As Illustrated By, Connecticut and Michigan The schools of Connecticut became free in the last half of the nineteenth century, but to understand the development of such schools it is helpful to consider some conditions of colonial edu cation, and to trace the slow growth of the movement and related movements to the time of the enactment of the free school law of 1868. The colonial period, from 1634 to 1776, a period of one hundred and forty-two years, was a time in which European traditions were transplanted, and also gradually modified. Some very important social changes occurred in Connecticut during this period. The colonists of Connecticut came, for the most part, from Massachusetts and were very similar in character and antecedents to the people of that colony. At New Haven and Hartford, settlements were made which had separate govern ments, and between which a rivalry appeared. The two were united under a royal charter in 1665. The government was similar, in many respects, to that of Massachusetts. At first, the town was the unit of local government. The general control was exercised by the General Court and governor, under the charter and a rather peculiar constitution. The General Court was an elective body, based upon a limited suffrage, having a combination Of legislative, executive, and judicial powers. Religiously, the Connecticut colonists were Puritans. The church and civil government were united in many ways. The early pursuits were, of necessity, hunting and agriculture, but soon a coastwise trade grew up, and primitive manufactures appeared. The times were not peaceful. Indian wars, and the European wars of parent nations brought to the settler of Con necticut a share of the common burdens of the period.
