Excerpt from History of Education The Outline of the History of Education in Ancient, Medieval, (Part I) and Modern Times (Part II) has been organized to make available a stimulating guide for high school, normal school, and college students of the subject, as well a for teachers desiring a compact summary of the field. Based upon years of classroom teaching of the material in college, normal school, and extension courses for teachers, it is designed to meet the needs of many groups. Because they have been found helpful to students in the classroom, the following features have been incorporated: 1. Chronological graphs to aid in fixing a time perspective for the big movements. This device has been used as a substitute for the interspersing of dates throughout the text. 2. Lists of questions at the close of each chapter or topic. These have been given to facilitate self-testing. An inclusive list of such questions has also been appended at the end of each part of the book. 3. Parallel column arrangement in some places to bring into prominence significant contrasts and comparisons. 4. A chronological drill at the end of Part I for a rapid identification of names and outstanding events. 5. A false-true test at the end of Part II to afford exercise in testing educational statements in the light of the facts presented in the body of the Outline. An acknowledgment is due to hundreds of former students whose reactions to various methods of organizing the subject have evolved the plan here used.
