The Foundations Of Education Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Foundations of Education No one will claim that we have yet attained perfection, either in method or result. We spend vast sums of money, we claim the devotion of a great army of men and women in the schoolroom, great minds are bestowing their very best thought -and no one would withhold a particle of this treasure, this consecration, this energy - yet we are confronted with evils which education has not eliminated, and faults in our national character which seem rather to grow than abate.

Excerpt from Educational Foundations, 1918, Vol. 30 The Brazilian impresses the for eigner as being chivalrous, sensi tive to criticism, punctilious as to etiquette, and possessing an intense curiosity. Judging from the color schemes of dress and habitations, or by the innumerable jewelry shops pervading the cities, one might be inclined to call the Bra zilian somewhat vain. His Latin and romantic temperament is te vealed in the love of music, poetry and drama, as well as in the ten deney to extravagant display, and an effervescence in conversation.

Excerpt from Educational Foundations, 1904-5, Vol. 16 Concentration fixes the details of the material supplied to the mind: reflection fits the newly supplied matter into its proper place. You are not to suppose that one concentration on each new idea is enough. A great many acts of concentration are required, and it is found that several short concentrations are preferable to a single long one, because the intervening reflection-periods enable the mind to know better what details in the new ideas are worthy of special attention in connection with the subject in hand. Concentration and reflection have been compared to the two acts of respiration, and they ought to follow each other in the same way that breathing out follows breathing in.

Excerpt from Educational Foundations, 1902-1903, Vol. 14 These men spoke for two widely different policies; the one to perpetuate ignorance, the other to dispel it; the one in the interest of overseers, the other in that of humanity. Our forefathers began at the top. When they num bered but four thousand souls, and were hardly by the camping-out stage, they founded Harvard college. The free school system was made compulsory in 1647, but free schools existed many years before. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Educational Foundations, 1906-1907, Vol. 18 Yes, better give up teaching altogether than run the risk of dying from the heart outward. Growth is a human need. Humanity dies when growth ceases. The miserable carcasses may keep on moving and even draw salaries, after the flame is burned out, but - good Lord, deliver the laddies and lassies of them! The beginning of the end of one's growth is self-satisfaction. It is the worst thing that can befall an otherwise moral man. In the teacher it is a sin, for it dulls his work. And dull teaching is a fraud upon humanity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Foundations of Success: A Plea for Rational Education During the next century it would doubtless have seemed as absurd to the merchant princes of the great German confederacy, as the contrary proposition now does to some sanguine men among ourselves, had they been told that their glories were destined to pass to the rough islanders whose ships were all but unknown in the Mediterranean, and whose manufactures did not suffice to clothe their own commonalty; but by the sixteenth century this event was already casting its shadow forward. The discovery of America, and the Reformation, which are the scenes of the drama of modern history, had brought forward Spain and Portugal as rivals to the Genoese, and had fired the English imagination by indicating a field for adventure, profit, and successful war which exactly suited the Anglo Saxon genius.
