A Manual of Elementary Instruction, for the Use of Public and Private Schools and Normal Classes: Containing a Graduate Course of Object Lessons for ... the Faculties of Children (Classic Reprint)
Description:Excerpt from A Manual of Elementary Instruction, for the Use of Public and Private Schools and Normal Classes: Containing a Graduate Course of Object Lessons for Training the Senses and Developing the Faculties of Children For many years there has been a growing conviction in the minds of the thinking men of this country, that our methods of primary instruction are very defective, because they are not properly adapted either to the mental, moral, or physical conditions of childhood. But little reference has hitherto been had to any natural order in the development of the faculties, or to the many peculiar characteristics of children. Memory, by no means the most important of the infant faculties, and reason, at this age but faintly developed, have been severely taxed, while but little direct systematic effort has been made to awaken and quicken the perceptive faculties, which are the first to develop themselves, and upon the proper cultivation of which we must depend for success in all our future educational processes. Even in schools where better views have prevailed, the want of some systematic exercises, with proper apparatus and facilities for putting them into practice, has been strongly felt. The design of this work is to meet this demand: to present a definite course of elementary instruction adapted to philosophic views of the "laws of childhood." We do not claim for it originality, either in thought or method. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
