Excerpt from Object Lessons for Infants, Vol. 1 This course of Object Lessons for use in Infant Schools is designed as an easy stepping-stone to the author's more advanced course for use in the Senior departments; and is the natural outcome of the widely extended favour with which the two preceding series of books have been received in the educational world. In view of the recent changes in the Code, which have set up new relations between the school, h.m. Inspector, and the Education Department, and affect the everyday life of both teachers and scholars, it has been deemed advisable, after consultation with several Infant Teachers, to arrange the course in four stages. Under the old regime the Infant School seemed to naturally resolve itself into three divisions. It is now thought that, under the new conditions, a course of lessons laid down in four stages will be welcomed by most teachers, as giving them a stage at their discretion, to provide for the more rapid class promotions which will henceforth take place.

Object Lessons: How Nineteenth-Century Americans Learned to Make Sense of the Material World examines the ways material things--objects and pictures--were used to reason about issues of morality, race, citizenship, and capitalism, as well as reality and representation, in the nineteenth-century United States. For modern scholars, an "object lesson" is simply a timeworn metaphor used to describe any sort of reasoning from concrete to abstract. But in the 1860s, object lessons were classroom exercises popular across the country. Object lessons helped children to learn about the world through their senses--touching and seeing rather than memorizing and repeating--leading to new modes of classifying and comprehending material evidence drawn from the close study of objects, pictures, and even people. In this book, Sarah Carter argues that object lessons taught Americans how to find and comprehend the information in things--from a type-metal fragment to a whalebone sample. Featuring over fifty images and a full-color insert, this book offers the object lesson as a new tool for contemporary scholars to interpret the meanings of nineteenth-century material, cultural, and intellectual life.
