But in the two years which have passed since that book\r\nwas written, I have had the happiness of working on stories and the\r\ntelling of them, among teachers and students all over this country, and\r\nin that experience certain secondary points of method have come to seem\r\nmore important, or at least more in need of emphasis, than they did\r\nbefore.  As so often happens, I had assumed that \"those things are\r\ntaken for granted;\" whereas, to the beginner or the teacher not\r\nnaturally a story-teller, the secondary or implied technique is often\r\nof greater difficulty than the mastery of underlying principles.  The\r\nfew suggestions which follow are of this practical, obvious kind.\r\n\n\r\nTake your story seriously.  No matter how riotously absurd it is, or\r\nhow full of inane repetition, remember, if it is good enough to tell,\r\nit is a real story, and must be treated with respect.  If you cannot\r\nfeel so toward it, do not tell it.  Have faith in the story, and in the\r\nattitude of the children toward it and you.  If you fail in this, the\r\nimmediate result will be a touch of shame-facedness, affecting your\r\nmanner unfavorably, and, probably, influencing your accuracy and\r\nimaginative vividness.\r\n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 473 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Bryant, Sara Cone \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Mar 1, 1996 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Bryant, Sara Cone,1873- \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211135418525,"sku":"gb-473-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/473_1beae22a-613e-47c6-ab08-8df3cce0b9f6.jpg?v=1671248176"},{"product_id":"how-to-tell-stories-to-children-and-some-stories-to-tell-gb-474","title":"How to Tell Stories to Children, and Some Stories to Tell","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to Tell Stories to Children, and Some Stories to Tell\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot long ago, I chanced to open a magazine at a story of\r\n    Italian life which dealt with a curious popular custom. It told\r\n    of the love of the people for the performances of a strangely\r\n    clad, periodically appearing old man who was a professional\r\n    story-teller. This old man repeated whole cycles of myth and\r\n    serials of popular history, holding his audience-chamber in\r\n    whatever corner of the open court or square he happened upon,\r\n    and always surrounded by an eager crowd of listeners. So great\r\n    was the respect in which the story-teller was held, that any\r\n    interruption was likely to be resented with violence.\nAs I read of the absorbed silence and the changing\r\n    expressions of the crowd about the old man, I was suddenly\r\n    reminded of a company of people I had recently seen. They were\r\n    gathered in one of the parlours of a women's college, and their\r\n    serious young faces had, habitually, none of the childlike\r\n    responsiveness of the Italian populace; they were suggestive,\r\n    rather, of a daily experience which precluded over-much\r\n    surprise or curiosity about anything. In the midst of the group stood a\r\n       frail-looking woman with bright eyes. She was telling a\r\n       story, a children's story, about a good and a bad little\r\n       mouse.\nShe had been asked to do that thing, for a purpose, and she\r\n    did it, therefore. But it was easy to see from the expressions\r\n    of the listeners how trivial a thing it seemed to them.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 474 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Bryant, Sara Cone \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Feb 18, 2005 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Bryant, Sara Cone,1873- \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211135451293,"sku":"gb-474-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/474_8ca137c3-a4b5-4f80-87c0-3dff737645d0.jpg?v=1671248178"},{"product_id":"ginx-s-baby-his-birth-and-other-misfortunes-a-satire-gb-581","title":"Ginx's Baby: His Birth and Other Misfortunes a Satire","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGinx's Baby: His Birth and Other Misfortunes; a Satire\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n  \n \n\n\n\n \n\n\r\n      The name of the father of Ginx's Baby was Ginx.

Never does the stone attempt to react\n      in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so\n      as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action.\n      While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none\n      the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its\n      own further existence.

To me this chapter is a perfect classic; it points the way\r\nstraight for every parent and it should find a place in every home in\r\nAmerica where there is a child.\"\nGoethe showed long ago in his Werther a clear understanding of\r\nthe significance of individualistic and psychological training, an\r\nappreciation which will mark the century of the child. In this work he\r\nshows how the future power of will lies hidden in the characteristics\r\nof the child, and how along with every fault of the child an uncorrupted\r\ngerm capable of producing good is enclosed. \"Always,\" he says, \"I repeat\r\nthe golden words of the teacher of mankind, 'if ye do not become as\r\none of these,' and now, good friend, those who are our equals, whom we\r\nshould look upon as our models, we treat as subjects; they should have\r\nno will of their own; do we have none? Where is our prerogative? Does it\r\nconsist in the fact that we are older and more experienced? Good God\r\nof Heaven! Thou seest old and young children, nothing else. And in whom\r\nThou hast more joy, Thy Son announced ages ago. But people believe in\r\nHim and do not hear Himthat, too, is an old trouble, and they model\r\ntheir children after themselves.\" The same criticism might be applied to\r\nour present educators, who constantly have on their tongues such words\r\nas evolution, individuality, and natural tendencies, but do not heed\r\nthe new commandments in which they say they believe. They continue to\r\neducate as if they believed still in the natural depravity of man, in\r\noriginal sin, which may be bridled, tamed, suppressed, but not changed.\r\nThe new belief is really equivalent to Goethe's thoughts given above,\r\ni.e., that almost every fault is but a hard shell enclosing the germ of\r\nvirtue. Even men of modern times still follow in education the old rule\r\nof medicine, that evil must be driven out by evil, instead of the new\r\nmethod, the system of allowing nature quietly and slowly to help itself,\r\ntaking care only that the surrounding conditions help the work of\r\nnature.

He\r\nwas charmingly in character, and he sent his voice out on the run\r\nto meet the smallest alumna in the group:\r\n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 2362 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Converse, Florence \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Oct 1, 2000 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Converse, Florence,1871-1967 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212249530525,"sku":"gb-2362-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/2362_0e0b8f96-e5c1-4eed-ba0a-11128497920e.jpg?v=1671253097"},{"product_id":"oxford-gb-2444","title":"Oxford","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOxford\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese papers do not profess even to\nsketch the outlines of a history of Oxford. They are merely\nrecords of the impressions made by this or that aspect of the\nlife of the University as it has been in different ages.\nOxford is not an easy place to design in black and white, with\nthe pen or the etchers needle. On a wild winter or\nlate autumn day (such as Father Faber has made permanent in a\nbeautiful poem) the sunshine fleets along the plain, revealing\ntowers, and floods, and trees, in a gleam of watery light, and\nleaving them once more in shadow. The melancholy mist\ncreeps over the city, the damp soaks into the heart of\neverything, and such suicidal weather ensues as has been\ndescribed, once for all, by the author of\nJohn-a-Dreams. How different Oxford looks when the\nroad to Cowley Marsh is dumb with dust, when the heat seems\nalmost tropical, and by the drowsy banks of the Cherwell you\nmight almost expect some shy southern water-beast to come\ncrashing through the reeds! And such a day, again, is\nunlike the bright weather of late September, when all the gold\nand scarlet of Bagley Wood are concentrated in the leaves that\ncover the walls of Magdalen with an imperial vesture.\nOur memories of Oxford, if we have long made her a Castle of\nIndolence, vary no less than do the shifting aspects of her\nscenery. Days of spring and of mere pleasure in existence\nhave alternated with days of gloom and loneliness, of melancholy,\nof resignation. Our mental pictures of the place are tinged\nby many moods, as the landscape is beheld in shower and sunshine,\nin frost, and in the colourless drizzling weather. Oxford,\nthat once seemed a pleasant porch and entrance into life, may\nbecome a dingy ante-room, where we kick our heels with other\nweary, waiting people. At last, if men linger there too\nlate, Oxford grows a prison, and it is the final condition of the\nloiterer to take this for a hermitage. It is\nwell to leave the enchantress betimes, and to carry away few but\nkind recollections. If there be any who think and speak\nungently of their Alma Mater, it is because they have\noutstayed their natural welcome while, or because\nthey have resisted her genial influence in youth.\nMost old towns are like\npalimpsests, parchments which have been scrawled over again and\nagain by their successive owners. Oxford, though not one of\nthe most ancient of English cities, shows, more legibly than the\nrest, the handwriting, as it were, of many generations. The\nconvenient site among the interlacing waters of the Isis and the\nCherwell has commended itself to men in one age after\nanother. Each generation has used it for its own purpose:\nfor war, for trade, for learning, for religion; and war, trade,\nreligion, and learning have left on Oxford their peculiar\nmarks. No set of its occupants, before the last two\ncenturies began, was very eager to deface or destroy the\nbuildings of its predecessors. Old things were turned to\nnew uses, or altered to suit new tastes; they were not overthrown\nand carted away. Thus, in walking through Oxford, you see\neverywhere, in colleges, chapels, and churches, doors and windows\nwhich have been builded up; or again, openings which have been\ncut where none originally existed. The upper part of the\nround Norman arches in the Cathedral has been preserved, and\nconverted into the circular bulls-eye lights which the\nlast century liked. It is the same everywhere, except where\nmodern restorers have had their way. Thus the life of\nEngland, for some eight centuries, may be traced in the buildings\nof Oxford. Nay, if we are convinced by some antiquaries,\nthe eastern end of the High Street contains even earlier\nscratches on this palimpsest of Oxford; the rude marks of savages\nwho scooped out their damp nests, and raised their low walls in\nthe gravel, on the spot where the new schools are to stand.\nHere half-naked men may have trapped the beaver in the Cherwell,\nand hither they may have brought home the boars which they slew\nin the trackless woods of Headington and Bagley. It is with\nthe life of historical Oxford, however, and not with these\nfancies, that we are concerned, though these papers have no\npretension to be a history of Oxford. A series of pictures\nof mens life here is all they try to sketch.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 2444 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Lang, Andrew \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Dec 1, 2000 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Lang, Andrew,1844-1912 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212255723677,"sku":"gb-2444-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/2444_a365ce0e-7cca-46f1-8700-fbfeae6eed50.jpg?v=1671253310"},{"product_id":"the-civilization-of-illiteracy-gb-2481","title":"The Civilization of Illiteracy","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Civilization of Illiteracy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFamily: Discovering the Primitive Future\r\n\r\nTogetherness\r\n\r\nThe quest for permanency\r\n\r\nWhat breaks down when family fails?\r\n\r\nThe homosexual family\r\n\r\nTo want a child\r\n\r\nChildren in the illiterate family\r\n\r\nA new individuality\r\n\r\nDiscontinuity\r\n\r\nHow advanced the past.

A very few words may be a convenience to the reader who\r\n      takes up the book and wishes to know what he is likely to find in it.\r\n    \n\r\n      Homoeopathy has proved lucrative, and so long as it continues to be so\r\n      will surely exist,as surely as astrology, palmistry, and other\r\n      methods of getting a living out of the weakness and credulity of mankind\r\n      and womankind. Though it has no pretensions to be considered as belonging\r\n      among the sciences, it may be looked upon by a scientific man as a curious\r\n      object of study among the vagaries of the human mind. Its influence for\r\n      good or the contrary may be made a matter of calm investigation. I have\r\n      studied it in the Essay before the reader, under the aspect of an\r\n      extravagant and purely imaginative creation of its founder. Since that\r\n      first essay was written, nearly half a century ago, we have all had a\r\n      chance to witness its practical working. Two opposite inferences may be\r\n      drawn from its doctrines and practice. The first is that which is accepted\r\n      by its disciples. This is that all diseases are cured by drugs. The\r\n      opposite conclusion is drawn by a much larger number of persons. As they\r\n      see that patients are very commonly getting well under treatment by\r\n      infinitesimal drugging, which they consider equivalent to no medication at\r\n      all, they come to disbelieve in every form of drugging and put their whole\r\n      trust in nature. Thus experience,\r\n    \n\r\n      has shown that the dealers in this preposterous system of\r\n      pseudo-therapeutics have cooperated with the wiser class of practitioners\r\n      in breaking up the system of over-dosing and over-drugging which has been\r\n      one of the standing reproaches of medical practice. While keeping up the\r\n      miserable delusion that diseases were all to be cured by drugging,\r\n      Homoeopathy has been unintentionally showing that they would very\r\n      generally get well without any drugging at all. In the mean time the newer\r\n      doctrines of the mind cure, the faith cure, and the rest are\r\n      encroaching on the territory so long monopolized by that most ingenious of\r\n      the pseudo-sciences. It would not be surprising if its whole ground should\r\n      be taken possession of by these new claimants with their flattering\r\n      appeals to the imaginative class of persons open to such attacks. Similia\r\n      similabus may prove fatally true for once, if Homoeopathy is killed out by\r\n      its new-born rivals.\r\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 2700 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Holmes, Oliver Wendell \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Sep 29, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Holmes, Oliver Wendell,1809-1894 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212274335901,"sku":"gb-2700-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/2700_d18bbd41-ef8d-43f2-8b7b-a0ee9514bd63.jpg?v=1671253999"},{"product_id":"the-education-of-the-negro-gb-3114","title":"The Education of the Negro","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Education of the Negro\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the close of the war for the Union about five millions of negroes were\r\nadded to the citizenship of the United States. By the census of 1890 this\r\nnumber had become over seven and a half millions. I use the word negro\r\nbecause the descriptive term black or colored is not determinative. There\r\nare many varieties of negroes among the African tribes, but all of them\r\nagree in certain physiological if not psychological characteristics,\r\nwhich separate them from all other races of mankind; whereas there are\r\nmany races, black or colored, like the Abyssinian, which have no other\r\nnegro traits.\nIt is also a matter of observation that the negro traits persist in\r\nrecognizable manifestations, to the extent of occasional reversions,\r\nwhatever may be the mixture of a white race. In a certain degree this\r\npersistence is true of all races not come from an historic common stock.\nIn the political reconstruction the negro was given the ballot without\r\nany requirements of education or property. This was partly a measure of\r\nparty balance of power; and partly from a concern that the negro would\r\nnot be secure in his rights as a citizen without it, and also upon the\r\ntheory that the ballot is an educating influence.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 3114 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Warner, Charles Dudley \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Dec 5, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Warner, Charles Dudley,1829-1900 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212326142109,"sku":"gb-3114-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/3114_1fcfdb75-aae8-47cc-8b7e-b26fc26f1016.jpg?v=1671255075"},{"product_id":"the-novel-and-the-common-school-gb-3123","title":"The Novel and the Common School","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Novel and the Common School\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere has been a great improvement in the physical condition of the\r\npeople of the United States within two generations. This is more\r\nnoticeable in the West than in the East, but it is marked everywhere; and\r\nthe foreign traveler who once detected a race deterioration, which he\r\nattributed to a dry and stimulating atmosphere and to a feverish anxiety,\r\nwhich was evident in all classes, for a rapid change of condition, finds\r\nvery little now to sustain his theory. Although the restless energy\r\ncontinues, the mixed race in America has certainly changed physically for\r\nthe better. Speaking generally, the contours of face and form are more\r\nrounded. The change is most marked in regions once noted for leanness,\r\nangularity, and sallowness of complexion, but throughout the country the\r\ntypes of physical manhood are more numerous; and if women of rare and\r\nexceptional beauty are not more numerous, no doubt the average of\r\ncomeliness and beauty has been raised. Thus far, the increase of beauty\r\ndue to better development has not been at the expense of delicacy of\r\ncomplexion and of line, as it has been in some European countries.\r\nPhysical well-being is almost entirely a matter of nutrition. Something\r\nis due in our case to the accumulation of money, to the decrease in an\r\nincreasing number of our population of the daily anxiety about food and\r\nclothes, to more leisure; but abundant and better-prepared food is the\r\ndirect agency in our physical change. Good food is not only more abundant\r\nand more widely distributed than it was two generations ago, but it is to\r\nbe had in immeasurably greater variety. No other people existing, or that\r\never did exist, could command such a variety of edible products for daily\r\nconsumption as the mass of the American people habitually use today. In\r\nconsequence they have the opportunity of being better nourished than any\r\nother people ever were. If they are not better nourished, it is because\r\ntheir food is badly prepared. Whenever we find, either in New England or\r\nin the South, a community ill-favored, dyspeptic, lean, and faded in\r\ncomplexion, we may be perfectly sure that its cooking is bad, and that it\r\nis too ignorant of the laws of health to procure that variety of food\r\nwhich is so easily obtainable.

My first\r\n      idea was to write a tract a few pages long, but I was carried away by my\r\n      subject, and before I knew what I was doing my tract had become a kind of\r\n      book, too large indeed for the matter contained in it, but too small for\r\n      the subject of which it treats. For a long time I hesitated whether to\r\n      publish it or not, and I have often felt, when at work upon it, that it is\r\n      one thing to publish a few pamphlets and another to write a book. After\r\n      vain attempts to improve it, I have decided that it is my duty to publish\r\n      it as it stands. I consider that public attention requires to be directed\r\n      to this subject, and even if my own ideas are mistaken, my time will not\r\n      have been wasted if I stir up others to form right ideas. A solitary who\r\n      casts his writings before the public without any one to advertise them,\r\n      without any party ready to defend them, one who does not even know what is\r\n      thought and said about those writings, is at least free from one anxietyif\r\n      he is mistaken, no one will take his errors for gospel.\r\n    \n\r\n      I shall say very little about the value of a good education, nor shall I\r\n      stop to prove that the customary method of education is bad; this has been\r\n      done again and again, and I do not wish to fill my book with things which\r\n      everyone knows. I will merely state that, go as far back as you will, you\r\n      will find a continual outcry against the established method, but no\r\n      attempt to suggest a better. The literature and science of our day tend\r\n      rather to destroy than to build up. We find fault after the manner of a\r\n      master; to suggest, we must adopt another style, a style less in\r\n      accordance with the pride of the philosopher. In spite of all those books,\r\n      whose only aim, so they say, is public utility, the most useful of all\r\n      arts, the art of training men, is still neglected. Even after Lockes\r\n      book was written the subject remained almost untouched, and I fear that my\r\n      book will leave it pretty much as it found it.\r\n    \n\r\n      We know nothing of childhood; and with our mistaken notions the further we\r\n      advance the further we go astray. The wisest writers devote themselves to\r\n      what a man ought to know, without asking what a child is capable of\r\n      learning. They are always looking for the man in the child, without\r\n      considering what he is before he becomes a man. It is to this study that I\r\n      have chiefly devoted myself, so that if my method is fanciful and unsound,\r\n      my observations may still be of service. I may be greatly mistaken as to\r\n      what ought to be done, but I think I have clearly perceived the material\r\n      which is to be worked upon. Begin thus by making a more careful study of\r\n      your scholars, for it is clear that you know nothing about them; yet if\r\n      you read this book with that end in view, I think you will find that it is\r\n      not entirely useless.\r\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 5427 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Rousseau, Jean-Jacques \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Apr 1, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Rousseau, Jean-Jacques,1712-1778 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43213314818205,"sku":"gb-5427-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/5427_1ea57bdd-eba3-4033-ba90-0c7fb979e820.jpg?v=1671280498"},{"product_id":"the-art-of-the-story-teller-gb-5957","title":"The Art of the Story-Teller","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Art of the Story-Teller\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nYielding to the appeals of her friends in America and England, Miss\r\nShedlock has put together in this little book such observations and\r\nsuggestions on story-telling as can be put in words.

Perhaps these facts speak\r\nsufficiently in its favor; but as translator, and to some extent editor,\r\nI wish to add my testimony to the great charm as well as merit of the\r\nlittle work. I sat down to it, I must own, with no special predilection\r\nin favor of the subject as a suitable one for young people; but in the\r\ncourse of the labor have become a thorough convert to the author's\r\nviews that such a studyperhaps I ought to add, so pursued as he has\r\nenabled it to beis likely to prove a most useful and most desirable\r\none.\nThe precise age at which the interest of a young mind can be turned\r\ntowards this practical branch of natural history is an open question,\r\nand not worth disputing about.

The\r\nquaintness and drollery of the illustrations with which difficult\r\nscientific facts are set forth will provoke many a smile, no doubt, and\r\nin some young people perhaps a tendency to feel themselves treated\r\nbabyishly; but if in the course of the babyish treatment they find\r\nthemselves almost unexpectedly becoming masters of an amount of valuable\r\ninformation on very difficult subjects, they will have nothing to\r\ncomplain of. Let such young readers refer to even a popular\r\nEncyclopaedia for an insight into any of the subjects of the\r\ntwenty-eight chapters of this volume\"The Heart,\" \"The Lungs,\" \"The\r\nStomach,\" \"Atmospheric Pressure,\"no matter which, and see how much\r\nthey can understand of it without an amount of preliminary instruction\r\nwhich would require half-a-year's study, and they will then thoroughly\r\nappreciate the quite marvellous ingenuity and beautiful skill with\r\nwhich M.

To trace all these contributions\nback to their sources would be a task impossible of accomplishment, and,\nwhile specific parts would be interesting, for our purposes they would not\nbe important. Especially would it not be profitable for us to attempt to\ntrace the development of minor features, or to go back to the rudimentary\ncivilizations of primitive peoples. The early development of civilization\namong the Chinese, the Hindoos, the Persians, the Egyptians, or the\nAmerican Indians all alike present features which to some form a very\ninteresting study, but our western civilization does not go back to these\nas sources, and consequently they need not concern us in the study we are\nabout to begin. While we have obtained the alphabet from the Phoenicians\nand some of our mathematical and scientific developments through the\nmedium of the Mohammedans, the real sources of our present-day\ncivilization lie elsewhere, and these minor sources will be referred to\nbut briefly and only as they influenced the course of western progress.\nThe civilization which we now know and enjoy has come down to us from four\nmain sources. The Greeks, the Romans, and the Christians laid the\nfoundations, and in the order named, and the study of the early history of\nour western civilization is a study of the work and the blending of these\nthree main forces. It is upon these three foundation stones, superimposed\nupon one another, that our modern European and American civilization has\nbeen developed. The Germanic tribes, overrunning the boundaries of the\nRoman Empire in the fourth and fifth centuries, added another new force of\nlargest future significance, and one which profoundly modified all\nsubsequent progress and development. To these four main sources we have\nmade many additions in modern times, building an entirely new\nsuperstructure on the old foundations, but the groundwork of our\ncivilization is composed of these four foundation elements. For these\nreasons a history of even modern education almost of necessity goes back,\nbriefly at least, to the work and contributions of these ancient peoples.\nStarting, then, with the work of the Greeks, we shall state briefly the\ncontributions to the stream of civilization which have come down to us\nfrom each of the important historic peoples or groups or forces, and shall\ntrace the blending and assimilating processes of the centuries. While\ndescribing briefly the educational institutions and ideas of the different\npeoples, we shall be far less concerned, as we progress down the\ncenturies, with the educational and philosophical theories advanced by\nthinkers among them than with what was actually done, and with the lasting\ncontributions which they made to our educational practices and to our\npresent-day civilization.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 7521 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Cubberley, Ellwood Patterson \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Feb 1, 2005 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Cubberley, Ellwood Patterson,1868-1941 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43215438938269,"sku":"gb-7521-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/7521.jpg?v=1671288082"},{"product_id":"an-essay-on-the-evils-of-popular-ignorance-gb-8940","title":"An Essay on the Evils of Popular Ignorance","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn Essay on the Evils of Popular Ignorance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the circumstance of a manner of introduction somewhat different from\r\nwhat would be expected in a composition of the essay class were worth a\r\nvery few words of explanation, it might be mentioned, that the\r\nfollowing production has grown out of the topics of a discourse,\r\ndelivered at a public anniversary meeting in aid of the British and\r\nForeign School Society.\nWhen it was thought, a good while after that occasion, that a more\r\nextensive use might be made of some of the observations, the writing was\r\nbegun in the form of a Discourse addressed to an assembly, and commencing\r\nwith a sentence from the Bible, to serve as a general indication to the\r\nsubject.

We both look forward to the time when\r\nthe conditions of the Public Elementary School, from the Nursery School\r\nup, will be suchin point of numbers, in freedom from pressure, in\r\nsituation of building, in space both within and without, and in beauty\r\nof surroundingsthat parents of any class will gladly let their\r\nchildren attend it.\nWe are teachers and we have dealt mainly with the mental or, as we\r\nprefer to call it, the spiritual requirements of children. It is from\r\nthe medical profession that we must all accept facts about food values,\r\nhours of sleep, etc., and the importance of cleanliness and fresh air\r\nare now fully recognised. We do, however, feel that there is room for\r\nfresh discussion of ultimate aims and of daily procedure. Mr. Clutton\r\nBrock has said that the great weakness of English education is the want\r\nof a definite aim to put before our children, the want of a philosophy\r\nfor ourselves. Without some understanding of life and its purpose or\r\nmeaning, the teacher is at the mercy of every fad and is apt to exalt\r\nmethod above principle. This book is an attempt to gather together\r\ncertain recognised principles, and to show in the light of actual\r\nexperience how these may be applied to existing circumstances.\nThe day is coming when all teachers will seek to understand the true\r\nvalue of Play, of spontaneous activity in all directions. Its importance\r\nis emphasised in nearly all the educational writings of the day, as well\r\nin the Senior as in the Junior departments of the school, but we need a\r\nfull and deep understanding of the saying, \"Man is Man only when he\r\nplays.\" It is easy to say we believe it, but it needs strong faith,\r\ncourage, and wide intelligence to weave such belief into the warp of\r\ndaily life in school.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 10042 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Murray, E.

Teachers are beginning to see that students waste a\nvast amount of time and form many harmful habits because they do not\nknow how to use their minds. The recognition of this condition is\ntaking the form of the movement toward \"supervised study,\" which\nattempts to acquaint the student with principles of economy and\ndirectness in using his mind. It is generally agreed that there are\ncertain \"tricks\" which make for mental efficiency, consisting of\nmethods of apperceiving facts, methods of review, devices for arranging\nwork. Some are the fruits of psychological experimentation; others are\nderived from experience. Many of them can be imparted by instruction,\nand it is for the purpose of systematizing these and making them\navailable for students that this book is prepared.\nThe evils of unintelligent and unsupervised study are evident to all\nwho have any connection with modern education. They pervade the entire\neducational structure from kindergarten through college. In college\nthey are especially apparent in the case of freshmen, who, in addition\nto the numerous difficulties incident to entrance into the college\nworld, suffer peculiarly because they do not know how to attack the\ndifficult subjects of the curriculum. In recognition of these\nconditions, special attention is given at The University of Chicago\ntoward supervision of study. All freshmen in the School of Commerce and\nAdministration of the University are given a course in Methods of\nStudy, in which practical discussions and demonstrations are given\nregarding the ways of studying the freshman subjects. In addition to\nthe group-work, cases presenting special features are given individual\nattention, for it must be admitted that while certain difficulties are\ncommon to all students, there are individual cases that present\npeculiar phases and these can be served only by personal consultations.\nThese personal consultations are expensive both in time and patience,\nfor it frequently happens that the mental habits of a student must be\nthoroughly reconstructed, and this requires much time and attention,\nbut the results well repay the effort. A valuable accessory to such\nindividual supervision over students has been found in the use of\npsychological tests which have been described by the author in a\nmonograph entitled, \"The Scientific Study of the College Student.\"[1]\n[Footnote 1: Princeton University Press.]\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 10674 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Kitson, Harry Dexter \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jan 1, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Kitson, Harry Dexter,1886-1959 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43216228221085,"sku":"gb-10674-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/10674.jpg?v=1671340634"},{"product_id":"big-and-little-sisters-a-story-of-an-indian-mission-school-gb-10902","title":"Big and Little Sisters: A Story of an Indian Mission School","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBig and Little Sisters: A Story of an Indian Mission School\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was a Saturday morning in December at the Indian Mission School.\r\nTwo young Sioux girls were going up the stairsHannah Straight Tree and\r\nCordelia Running Bird.

Goodwin, who\npublished in the Special Report of the United States Commissioner\nof Education of 1871 an exhaustive History of the Schools for the\nColored Population in the District of Columbia. In that same document\nwas included a survey of the Legal Status of the Colored Population\nin Respect to Schools and Education in the Different States.

During his short visits to Benares, he paid an\r\nalert attention to many of the details of the work carried on in the\r\nCentral Hindu College, observing and asking questions, noting the good\r\nfeeling between teachers and students, so different from his own school\r\nexperiences in Southern India. He appears to have been brooding over\r\nthe question, and has, in this booklet, held up the educational ideals\r\nwhich appear to him to be necessary for the improvement of the present\r\nsystem.\nThe position of the teacher must be raised to that which it used to\r\noccupy in India, so that to sit in the teacher's chair will be a badge\r\nof social honour. His work must be seen as belonging to the great\r\nTeaching Department in the Government of our world, and his relation\r\nwith his pupils must be a copy of the relation between a Master and His\r\ndisciples. Love, protective and elevating on the one side, must be met\r\nwith love, confiding and trustful on the other. This is, in truth, the\r\nold Hindu ideal, exaggerated as it may seem to be to-day and if it be\r\npossible, in any country to rebuild this ideal, it should be by an\r\nIndian for Indians. Hence there is, at the back of the author's mind, a\r\ndream of a future College and School, wherein this ideal may be\r\nmaterialiseda Theosophical College and School, because the ancient\r\nIndian ideals now draw their life from Theosophy which alone can shape\r\nthe new vessels for the ancient elixir of life Punishment must\r\ndisappearnot only the old brutality of the cane, but all the forms of\r\ncoercion that make hypocrites instead of honourable and manly youths.\r\nThe teacher must embody the ideal, and the boy be drawn, by admiration\r\nand love, to copy it. Those who know how swiftly the unspoiled child\r\nresponds to a noble ideal will realise how potent may be the influence\r\nof a teacher, who stimulates by a high example and rules by the sceptre\r\nof love instead of by the rod of fear. Besides, the One Life is in\r\nteacher and taught, as Alcyone reminds us, and to that Life, which is\r\nDivine, all things are possible.\nEducation must be shaped to meet the individual needs of the child, and\r\nnot by a Government Procrustes' bed, to fit which some are dragged\r\nwell-nigh asunder and others are chopped down. The capacities of the\r\nchild, the line they fit him to pursue, these must guide his education.\r\nIn all, the child's interest must be paramount; the true teacher exists\r\nto serve.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 11345 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Krishnamurti, J.

Its design is,\r\nnot to bring forward new theories or new plans, but to develop and\r\nexplain, and to carry out to their practical applications such\r\nprinciples as, among all skillful and experienced teachers, are\r\ngenerally admitted and acted upon.

It is a system of\r\nauthoritysupreme and unlimited authoritya point essential in all\r\nplans for the supervision of the young; but it is authority secured and\r\nmaintained as far as possible by moral measures.

I think what he had in mind\r\nto say that it is difficult to accept new ideas when your mind is\r\nfilled with ideas which are institutional. The ideas which come out of\r\nformal education, out of the schools, out of books, are ideas which\r\nhave been stamped as the true and important ones; many of them are,\r\nas they have proved their worth in service. But as they represent\r\nauthority, they pass into a people's mind with the full weight of\r\nan accepted fact. The schools, the colleges, and the books are\r\nnot responsible primarily for the fixed ideas; every established\r\ninstitution contributes fixed ideas as well as fixed customs and rules\r\nof action. The schools and colleges circulate and interpret them.\r\nThe movement for industrial education in the United States is an\r\nillustration of this.\nThe ideas which we find there have not sprung from schools or colleges\r\nbut from industry. The institution of industry, rather than the\r\ninstitution of education, dominates thought in industrial education\r\ncourses. It is the institution of industry as it has affected the life\r\nof every man, woman and child, which has inhibited educational thought\r\nin conjunction with schemes for industrial schools. No established\r\nsystem of education or none proposed is more circumscribed by\r\ninstitutionalized thought than the vocational and industrial school\r\nmovement.\nEducators have opposed the desire of business to attach the schools\r\nto the industrial enterprise. They have rightly opposed it because\r\nindustry under the influence of business prostitutes effort.\r\nNevertheless, hand in hand with industry, the schools must function;\r\nunattached to the human hive they are denied participation in life.\r\nPromoters of industrial education are hung up between this fact of\r\nprostituted industry and their desire to establish the children's\r\nconnection with life. They have tried to meet opposing interests; they\r\nhave not recognized all the facts because the facts were conflicting,\r\nand their minds as well as their interests, institutionally speaking,\r\nwere committed to both.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 12594 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Marot, Helen \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jun 1, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Marot, Helen,1865-1940 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43216348217501,"sku":"gb-12594-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/12594.jpg?v=1671347471"},{"product_id":"how-to-teach-gb-12769","title":"How to Teach","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to Teach\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe art of teaching is based primarily upon the science of psychology.\r\nIn this book the authors have sought to make clear the principles of\r\npsychology which are involved in teaching, and to show definitely their\r\napplication in the work of the classroom.

The success or failure of the work of a\r\nteacher is determined by the changes which are brought to pass in the\r\nchildren who are being taught. This book, therefore, includes a chapter on\r\nthe measurement of the achievements of children. Throughout the book the\r\ndiscussion of the art of teaching is always modified by an acceptance upon\r\nthe part of the writers of the social purpose of education. The treatment\r\nof each topic will be found to be based upon investigations and researches\r\nin the fields of psychology and education which involve the measurement of\r\nthe achievements of children and of adults under varying conditions.\r\nWherever possible, the relation between the principle of teaching laid down\r\nand the scientific inquiry upon which it is based is indicated.\nAny careful study of the mental life and development of children reveals\r\nat the same time the unity and the diversity of the process involved. For\r\nthe sake of definiteness and clearness, the authors have differentiated\r\nbetween types of mental activity and the corresponding types of classroom\r\nexercises. They have, at the same time, sought to make clear the\r\ninterdependence of the various aspects of teaching method and the unity\r\ninvolved in mental development.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 12769 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Norsworthy, Naomi \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jun 28, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributor (Author)\u003c\/b\u003e: Strayer, George D.

It\r\nis not without a deep prophetic significance that Christ\r\nasked children to come unto Him. In all the world-calamities,\r\nin all wars, strifes, religious inquisitions and persecutions, in\r\nall the hours of human misery and helplessness, He has been\r\nasking, through centuries, the children to come unto Him. I\r\nam sure, if anybody has ears for His voice to-day, amidst\r\nthe thunderings of guns and passions and revenges, one would\r\nhear the same call: Let the children come unto Me!Not\r\nkings and politicians, not journalists and generals, not the\r\ngrown-up people, but children. And so to-day also, when\r\nwe ask for a way out of the present world-misery, when we\r\nin profundis of darkness to-day ask for light, and in sorrow\r\nfor to-morrow ask for advice and comfort, we must look to\r\nthe children and Christ.\nWhy does Christ not ask the kings to come to Himthe\r\nkings, and politicians, and journalists, and generals? Because\r\nthey are too much engaged in a wrong state of things, and\r\nbecause they are greatly responsible themselves for such a\r\nwrong state of things, and because consequently it is difficult\r\nfor them to change their ways, their hearts and their\r\nminds. It would be very hard for Napoleon and Pitt to kneel\r\ntogether down before Christ and to embrace each other.\r\nIt would be almost impossible for Bismarck and Gambetta\r\nto walk together. Not less it would be impossible for the\r\nPope and Monsieur Loisy or George Tyrrel to pray in the\r\nsame bench. Every generation is laden with sins and\r\nprejudices.

This is\r\nnot a paradox, but a common-sense question, as the following\r\nsuggestive little incident will show.

I think I should get on nicely\r\nif I could only once manage to read a book through; but somehow I\r\ncant seem to do it.

Most other creatures are able to walk, or at any\r\nrate stand, within a few hours of birth. But the human baby is absolutely\r\ndependent and helpless, unable even to manufacture all the animal heat that he\r\nrequires. The study of his condition at birth at once suggests a number of\r\npractical procedures, some of them quite at variance with the traditional\r\nprocedures.\nLet us see, then, exactly what his condition is. In the first place, he is,\r\nas Virchow, an authority on physiological subjects declares, merely a spinal\r\nanimal. Some of the higher brain centers do not yet exist at all, while others\r\nare in too incomplete a state for service. The various\r\nsensations which the baby experiencesheat, light, contact, motion,\r\netc.are so many stimuli to the development of these centers. If the\r\nstimulus is too great, the development is sometimes unduly hastened, with\r\nserious results, which show themselves chiefly in later life. The child who is\r\nbrought up a noisy room, is constantly talked to and fondled, is likely to\r\ndevelop prematurely, to talk and walk at an early age;\r\nalso to fall into nervous decay at an early age. And even if by reason of an\r\nunusually good heredity he escapes these dangers, it is almost certain that his\r\nintellectual power is not so great in adult life as it would have been under\r\nmore favorable conditions. A new baby, like a young plant, requires darkness\r\nand quiet for the most part. As he grows older, and shows a spontaneous\r\ninterest in his surroundings, he may fittingly have more light, more\r\ncompanionship, and experience more sensations.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 13467 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Washburne, Marion Foster \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Sep 15, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Washburne, Marion Foster,1863- \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43216402808989,"sku":"gb-13467-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/13467.jpg?v=1671350782"},{"product_id":"women-and-the-alphabet-a-series-of-essays-gb-13474","title":"Women and the Alphabet: A Series of Essays","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWomen and the Alphabet: A Series of Essays\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first essay in this volume, \"Ought Women to learn the Alphabet?\"\r\nappeared originally in the \"Atlantic Monthly\" of February, 1859, and has\r\nsince been reprinted in various forms, bearing its share, I trust, in the\r\ngreat development of more liberal views in respect to the training and\r\nduties of women which has made itself manifest within forty years.

At such moments there\r\nis special need for the restatement and enforcement by argument of\r\nsound principles. To such principles so far as they relate to\r\neducation it is the aim of these essays to recall the public mind.\r\nThey cover so many branches of educational theory and deal with\r\nthem so fully and clearly, being the work of skilled and vigorous\r\nthinkers, that it would be idle for me to enter in a short\r\nintroduction upon those topics which they have discussed with\r\nspecial knowledge far greater than I possess. All I shall attempt\r\nis to present a few scattered observations on the general problems\r\nof education as they stand to-day.\nThe largest of those problems, viz., how to provide elementary\r\ninstruction for the whole population, is far\r\nless urgent now than it was fifty years ago. The Act of 1870,\r\nfollowed by the Act which made school-attendance compulsory, has\r\ndone its work. What is wanted now is Quality rather than Quantity.\r\nQuantity is doubtless needed in one respect. Children ought to stay\r\nlonger at school and ought to have more encouragement to continue\r\neducation after they leave the elementary school. But it is chiefly\r\nan improvement in the teaching that is wanted, and that of course\r\nmeans the securing of higher competence in the teacher by raising\r\nthe remuneration and the status of the teaching profession[1].\nThe next problem is how to find the finest minds among the\r\nchildren of the country and bring them by adequate training to the\r\nhighest efficiency. The sifting out of these best minds is a matter\r\nof educational organisation and machinery; and the process will\r\nbecome the easier when the elementary teachers, who ought to bear a\r\npart in selecting those who are most fitted to be sent on to\r\nsecondary schools, have themselves become better qualified for the\r\ntask of discrimination. The question how to train these best minds\r\nwhen sifted out would lead me into the tangled controversy as to the respective educational values of\r\nvarious subjects of instruction, a topic which I must not deal with\r\nhere. What I do wish to dwell upon is the supreme importance to the\r\nprogress of a nation of the best talent it possesses. In every\r\ncountry there is a certain percentage of the population who are\r\nfitted by their superior intelligence, industry, and force of\r\ncharacter to be the leaders in every branch of action and thought.\r\nIt is a small percentage, but it may be increased by discovering\r\nability in places where the conditions do not favour its\r\ndevelopment, and setting it where it will have a better chance of\r\ngrowth, just as a seedling tree brought out of the dry shade may\r\nshoot up when planted where sun and rain can reach it freely. I am\r\nnot thinking of those exceptionally great and powerful minds, of\r\nwhom there may not be more than four or five in a generation, who\r\nmake brilliant discoveries or change the currents of thought, but\r\nrather of persons of a capacity high, if not quite first rate,\r\nwhich enables them, granted fair chances, to rise quickly into\r\npositions where they can effectively serve the community. These\r\nmen, whatever occupation they follow, be it that of abstract\r\nthinking, or literary production, or scientific research, or the\r\nconduct of affairs, whether commercial or political or administrative, are the dynamic strength of\r\nthe country when they enter manhood, and its realised wealth when\r\nthey are in their fullest vigour thirty years later. We need more\r\nof them, and more of them may be found by taking pains.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 13548 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Benson, Arthur Christopher \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Sep 28, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEditor\u003c\/b\u003e: Benson, Arthur Christopher, 1862-1925 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Benson, Arthur Christopher,1862-1925 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43216408117405,"sku":"gb-13548-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/13548.jpg?v=1671351158"},{"product_id":"a-study-of-fairy-tales-gb-13666","title":"A Study of Fairy Tales","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Study of Fairy Tales\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fairy tale has a place in the training of children which common\r\nsense and a sympathetic attitude toward childhood will not deny. Some\r\nrigid philosophers, who see no more of life than is to be found in\r\nlogical science, condemn the imaginative tale. They regard the\r\nteaching of myths and stories as the telling of pleasant lies, which,\r\nif harmless, are wasteful. What the child acquires through them, he\r\nmust sooner or later forget or unlearn.\nSuch arguments carry conviction until one perceives that their authors\r\nare measuring the worth of all teaching in terms of strictly\r\nintellectual products. Life is more than precise information; it is\r\nimpulse and action. The fairy tale is a literary rather than a\r\nscientific achievement. Its realities are matters of feeling, in which\r\nthought is a mere skeleton to support the adventure. It matters little\r\nthat the facts alleged in the story never were and never can be. The\r\nvalues and ideals which enlist the child's sympathy are morally\r\nworthy, affording a practice to those fundamental prejudices toward\r\nright and wrong which are the earliest acquisitions of a young soul.\r\nThe other characteristics of the talethe rhythmic, the grotesque,\r\nthe weird, and the drollare mere recreation, the abundant\r\nplayfulness which children require to rest them from the dangers and\r\nterrors which fascinate them.\nThe fairy tale, like every other literary production, must be judged\r\nby the fitness of its emotional effects. Fairyland is the stage-world\r\nof childhood, a realm of vicarious living, more elemental and more\r\nfancy-free than the perfected dramas of sophisticated adults whose\r\ningrained acceptance of binding realities demands sterner stuff. The\r\ntales are classics of a particular kind; they are children's classics,\r\nartful adaptations of life and form which grip the imaginations of\r\nlittle folks.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 13666 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Kready, Laura Fry \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Oct 7, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Kready, Laura Fry,1874- \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43216418144413,"sku":"gb-13666-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/13666.jpg?v=1671351668"},{"product_id":"the-reconstructed-school-gb-14567","title":"The Reconstructed School","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Reconstructed School\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn our school processes there are many constants which have\ngeneral recognition as such by thoughtful people. On the other\nhand, there are many variables which should be subjected to close\nscrutiny to the end that they may be made to yield forth the\nlargest possible returns upon the investment of time and effort.\nThese phases of school procedure constitute the real problem in the\nwork of reconstruction, and the following pages represent an effort\nto point the way toward larger and better results in the realm of\nthese variables. In general, the aims and purposes of the worker\ndetermine the quality of the work done. If, therefore, this volume\nsucceeds in stimulating teachers to elevate the goals of their\nendeavors, it will have accomplished its purpose.F.B.P.\n[1]\nReturn to Table of\nContents\nWhen people come to think alike, they tend to act alike; unison\nin thinking begets unison in action. It is often said that the man\nand wife who have spent years together have grown to resemble each\nother; but the resemblance is probably in actions rather than in\nlooks; the fact is that they have had common goals of thinking\nthroughout the many years they have lived together and so have come\nto act in unison. The wise teacher often adjusts difficult\nsituations in her school by inducing the pupils to think toward a\ncommon goal. In their zeal for a common enterprise the children\nforget their differences and attain unison in action as the result\nof their unison in thinking. The school superintendent knows full\nwell that if he can bring teachers, pupils, and parents to think\ntoward a common goal, he will soon have unity of action. When\npeople catch step mentally, they do the same physically, and as\nthey move forward along the paths of their common thinking, their\nways converge until, in time, they find themselves walking side by\nside in amiable and agreeable converse.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 14567 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Pearson, Francis B.

They are intended for use after the manner of the\r\nsource books or collections of documents which have so vastly improved\r\nthe teaching of general history in recent years. No argument is needed\r\nas to the importance of such a collection for effective teaching of the\r\nhistory of education; but I would urge that the subject requires in a\r\npeculiar degree rich and full illustration from the sources. The life of\r\nschool, college, or university is varied, vivid, even dramatic, while we\r\nlive it; but, once it has passed, it becomes thinner and more spectral\r\nthan almost any other historical fact. Its original records are, in all\r\nconscience, thin enough; the situation is still worse when they are\r\nworked over at third or fourth hand, flattened out; smoothed down, and\r\ndesiccated in the pages of a modern history of education. Such histories\r\nare of course necessary to effective teaching of the subject; but the\r\nrecords alone can clothe the dry bones of fact with flesh and blood.\r\nOnly by turning back to them do we gain a sense of personal intimacy\r\nwith the past; only thus can we realize that schools and universities of\r\nother days were not less real than those of to-day, teachers and\r\nstudents of other generations not less vividly alive than we, academic\r\nquestions not less unsettled or less eagerly debated. To gain this sense\r\nof concrete, living reality in the history of education is one of the\r\nmost important steps toward understanding the subject.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 15005 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Norton, Arthur O. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Feb 9, 2005 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Norton, Arthur O.,1869-1959 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43217217126557,"sku":"gb-15005-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/15005.jpg?v=1671420132"}],"url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/collections\/education.oembed?page=158","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
