Excerpt from A Comparison Between General and Special Methods Courses in Teaching of High School Subjects Accordingly a letter was then sent during the first week in October to two hundred fifteen colleges and universities. This letter indicated that the writer was conducting an investigation into the comparison between the general and special methods courses in the teaching of high-school subjects, 6. The Teach ing of High School Subjects versus The Teaching of Latin, The Teaching of Mathematics, etc. Then followed a request for the names of instructors who teach such courses, and the names of the courses taught. One hundred thirty-one returns were received in the course of the next two months. Seventeen correspondents misunderstood what was wanted, or were not Offering any work in methods, or were not giving it until the second semester. The other one hundred fourteen were then listed by instructors according to subject taught and institution. A form letter was then sent to each instructor whose name had been listed. The letter was to the following effect. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from An Introduction to High School Teaching The following pages have been written with the purpose constantly in mind of giving practical help to those young men and women in our colleges and universities who are soon to enter upon the work of high school teachers. The topics treated and the materials selected have been chosen with this object in view. The writer has continually asked himself this question, "What ought the beginning high school teacher most of all to know in advance of entering upon his profession?" The author believes that the prospective teacher should have some conception of what the present day high school is and what it aims to be; that he should know something about the pupils that he will meet in his classrooms; that he should have formed certain professional ideals and should possess certain ambitions, and that he should be acquainted in some detail with the problems of class management and of instruction. There is much more that is desirable but less essential for him to know in advance of his actual teaching. This book emphasizes particularly general methods of instruction as they apply to the high school. It has not, however, attempted to treat under separate topics instruction in special subjects. This problem has already been adequately treated in Monroe's Principles of Secondary Education, and in Johnston's High School Education, as well as in many books dealing specifically with the various studies of the high school curriculum. The student preparing to teach in any particular field, should obviously acquaint himself not only with the general principles of instruction, but also with the details of instruction in his chosen subjects.

Excerpt from Methods in Teaching: Being the Stockton Methods in Elementary Schools Where no wise guidance is, the people falleth But in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. Out of the experiences of many people, tested, retested, and tested again, this book has grown. May there be in it words of help and direction!

Excerpt from A New Discovery of the Old Art of Teaching School The editor of these reprints has cheerfully given time and thought to the presenting of two English seventeeth century writers upon education, to American readers. The publisher on his part bears the entire cost of copying from the original editions in the British Museum Library and the risk of the possible small sale of a volume dealing with times distant from our own. A large number of American educators gave such gracious welcome to the editor when recently visiting them and their schools for the purpose of reporting upon what he saw, that he is desirous in every way not of repaying the debt but of showing his grateful remembrance.

Excerpt from Public School Methods, Vol. 1 Many people who purchase books fail to derive the greatest benefit from their purchase because they do not at first take the trouble to become acquainted with the plan and Scope Of the work. The editor Of Public School Methods wishes to forestall this difficulty by urging every purchaser of a set Of these volumes to read the Preface and Foreword as the first step in the use of the work. In vol. III, Chapter IX, Books and Libraries, will be found specific directions for using books, and every teacher will find these directions helpful in showing her how to use Public School Methods. The second feature to which we wish to call special atten tion is Plans for Teaching. These plans follow the chapters on all the common branches, and carry the work Of each subject through the year for each grade. In the first grade they even go into details for each day's lesson. In the others they outline the work for each month. The plans follow the most recent courses Of study. They have been prepared by those who have devoted many years as practical teachers; consequently, they are thoroughly practicable. Nothing is suggested that has not proved successful wherever it has been tried. Teachers will find these plans a safe guide, and their use will save much time and effort which can be profitably spent in other ways. The close relation existing between the Kindergarten and the first grade in the public schools has been recognized, and both the Kindergarten and primary teacher will find the chapter Kindergarten especially helpful. This Chapter was pre pared by Miss Katharine Martin Of the School of Education, University of Chicago, and is strong and practical throughout. Many new stories with illustrations have been added to the chapters on Reading, and the teachers will find this new material valuable in making the connection between the lessons on the blackboard and those in the primer. It also furnishes excellent material for supplementary reading. The chapter on Language by Miss Achsah May Harris Of the State Normal School, Emporia, Kansas, is replete with methods, suggestions and material covering this important work for the first three grades. Every page Of this chapter is practical and the suggestions can be applied in any school. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Guide to Methods and Observation in History: Studies in High School Observation The outlines herewith presented have grown out of the necessities of a course conducted by the writer in the training of teachers in the University of Michigan. The course has been styled Methods and High School Observations in History. It has been open only to seniors and graduate students who have specialized in history and who expect to teach that subject in high schools. The work has consisted of one class meeting per week for eighteen weeks, and of twenty hour - obser vations of history teaching in the Ann Arbor High School. The outlines, therefore, were designed to serve as a guide to these observations and as a basis for subsequent dis eussions.
