Vol. XIII, International Education Series, edited by WILLIAM T. HARRIS, LL. D., United States Commissioner of Education. The International Education Series designs to cover (1) the history of education, (2) critieisms and reforms, (3) the theory or science of education, and (4) the art or practice of teaching. The present volume falls in the fourth division; it treats of details of management. The author has chosen nine topics, which he discusses in this volume, and that he has selected these topics with eminent practical wisdom is evident from the following mention of their general bearings: 1, Moral training; 2, The character of the teacher; 3, The memory-how much or how little shall it be trained in school work; 4, Methods of inciting self-activity in the child of the primary school; 5, The ideal of scholarship; 6, The demeanor of the teacher-a subject treated by the author with eminent sagacity; 7, How the school develops character; 8, The class recitation; and, 9, The matter of supervision-the relation of the head teacher to his subordinates. "It is a great work, grandly performed, by the one man who could do just this thing satisfactorily." Journal of Education. "A book that ought to be in the hands of every teacher in the land." - Philadelphia Times. |
