Description:Excerpt from Jean Mitchell's School The emphasis of modern educational thought is on the vital relation of the work of the school to the life of the children. We are told that the teacher is to live with the children, and that the school is life and not a preparation for life. This thought assumes a transform ing inﬂuence in the process of education which no purely didactic discussion of the work of the school can adequately present; an inﬂuence which constitutes a dramatic move ment in the process, and which can adequately be portrayed only through some form of dramatic literature. No apol ogy, therefore, is needed for publishing at this time, as a book on practical pedagogy, an ideal story of the school in its working order from month to month throughout a school year. In such a story, however, it would be out of place to needlessly inject purely personal relations simply for dramatic effect. It would also conﬂict with its purpose for it to present a best way of teaching subject matter, or of governing a school, although there must be method in all of the work done. And espe, lally would it destroy the highest purpose of this story shout d it be considered as 'showing up present inadequacies of organization or sham in the schools of today. The author of jean mitchell's school has assumed that there is a sufficiently dramatic movement in the true work of the teacher to call forth the most heartfelt expres sions of joy and sorrow. This movement, moreover, is natural and unstudied, and the reader will be apt to find that both smiles and tears will spring forth, apparently without any cause in the incidents of the story. Jean Mitchell, by the power of a true teacher and without recourse to special accomplishments, brings a hard school into kindly co-operation. One by one the lawless and the churlish among her pupils are won over to a spirit of loving obedience and mutual regard and good fellowship. One by one the weak and idle are inspired to courage and effort. From the first day, when the story of the battle-scarred ﬂag commands allegiance, to the final day of affectionate farewell, the author makes the reader feel that action, portraying the growth of conscious effort on the part of each boy and girl toward true ideas, should grow out of and belong to the work of the school.
