Stran 102 - In the second place, they do not aim at educating the unskilled laborer for his work in life — the unskilled laborer of America is supplied from abroad, from Italy, Hungary, the Slav countries; and Scandinavia, and at present in diminishing proportion from Ireland. No boy in an American school looks forward to digging and delving for hire as a means of livelihood, nor does any girl contemplate domestic service as her future work in life. Speaking to a contractor who had thousands of men employed...
Stran 194 - He was bred to the law, which is, in my opinion, one of the first and noblest of human sciences ; a science which does more to quicken and invigorate the understanding than all the other kinds of learning put together ; but it is not apt, except in persons very happily born, to open and to liberalize the mind exactly in the same proportion.
Stran 255 - American people toward public education as a prime necessity of national life, for which hardly any expenditure can be too great; and next, its eminently practical and popular character. There is more coordination of its successive stages than we have hitherto seen in England. From the elementary school to the high school...
Stran 203 - ... 2. What can be done in the way of introducing subject-matter in history and science and art that shall have a positive value and real significance in the child's own life; that shall represent, even to the youngest children, something worthy of attainment in skill or knowledge; as much so to the little pupil as are the studies of the high school or college student to him?
Stran 360 - Let us (said He) pour on him all we can. Let the world's riches, which dispersed lie, Contract into a span. So strength first made a way, Then beauty flowed, then wisdom, honour, pleasure. When almost all was out, God made a stay, Perceiving that alone of all His treasure Rest in the bottom lay. For if I should...
Stran 220 - THE AIM OF THE INSTRUCTION At the end of the intermediate course the pupil should be able to read at sight German prose of ordinary difficulty, whether recent or classical; to put into German a connected passage of simple English, paraphrased from a given text in German ; to answer any grammatical questions relating to usual forms and essential principles of the language, including syntax and word-formation...
Stran 14 - ... imaginative power. Those who have taught women students are one and all in agreement that, although close workers and most faithful and accurate observers, yet, with the rarest exceptions, they are incapable of doing independent original work. And it must be so. Throughout the entire period of her existence woman has been man's slave ; and if the theory of evolution be in any way correct there is no reason to suppose, I imagine, that she will recover from the mental disabilities which this has...
Stran vii - So far as I was able to ascertain, the form of education given in the United States is responsible for much of its success, and I returned home determined, if possible, to get together a party of experts to visit the country and test the soundness of my conclusions.
Stran 165 - ... that the preponderance of female teachers in the higher or secondary schools — I say of set purpose preponderance and not presence — has an effeminating effect on the character of American boyhood. There is a tendency for women teachers, when dealing with boys of such advanced age, to instill (unconsciously, no doubt) sentimental views of facts, rather than to derive principles of conduct from them.
Stran 9 - Turing's great doctrine of thinking in shape has, if possible, made less advance thus far in the American common schools than in ours. Much has been said of the importance attached in the American schools to the teaching of patriotism and to the practice of saluting the flag, which prevails in them. This involves the recitation occasionally of the formula: "I pledge allegiance to my flag and to the Republic for which it etands — one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
