About this Item

Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex world of education. It argues that education is a form of leading out or drawing out the powers of the mind. This process is closely linked to the development of brain activities, as every mental process corresponds to a physiological change in the brain. The author highlights that the purpose of education is to modify mental and moral growth. This modification is not limited to the school environment but is an ongoing process that begins at birth and continues throughout an individual's life. However, the book places particular emphasis on the role of schools in shaping this growth. Schools embody the ideal that the community holds for its citizens, and the curriculum and methods employed reflect the community's beliefs about what constitutes a desirable education. Ultimately, the book underscores the significance of education in developing the cognitive and ethical qualities of individuals. By nurturing the mind and fostering personal growth, education plays a crucial role in shaping the future of society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from Principles of Teaching

Some men need to apologize for living, and the preface of a book is frequently in the nature of an apology for its existence. Whether a book needs an apology or not, it is sometimes advantageous to a reader to know the author's point of view, and what he expects the book to accomplish.

Of the five hundred thousand teachers in the United States, about one hundred thousand are teaching their first term of school this year. Of this one hundred thou sand, scarcely more than ten thousand have had any professional training, or have given to the subject of teaching any serious preliminary thought that could be called professional study. The professional aspect of the work must be presented to them after the work of teach 'ing has been entered upon. In the hope that it may contribute somewhat to the realization that there is a professional aspect of teaching, and a body of educational doctrine worth. While for a teacher to know, this volume is sent forth.
