Excerpt from School and Home Education, Vol. 33: September, 1913 to June, 1914
We see, then, that this is a wonderful realm of expression of the conceptions of the human mind. By its peculiar sym holism of the known for the unknown, the seen for the unseen, great secrets of nature are unlocked, great forces over come, great laws interpreted in the lang uage of common men. But to speak this speech, to think in terms of its vocabulary, requires just that mastery of every detail by which the content of em bols and their related uses with other symbols in expressing thought may be infallibly known and understood. And this is the substance of mastery in the case of any language.
In the high school we call mathematics by distinct names, as arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry. It would be greatly to our advantage if we could get into the habit of thinking of these as representing various aspects of the one general subject. It is much the same with our study of English in the ele mentary stages. Too often we think of reading, spelling, writing and composi tion as entirely distinct subjects to be studied and taught in an entirely unre lated manner. As a matter of fact they, each and all, belong to the one indivisi ble process. Whether we read or write we also spell; we write in order to compose, and we compose in order to read or be read.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a rigorous educational theory that's coherent with current pedagogical practices and the latest scientific research. It emphasizes the need to teach essential information and habits that every citizen should know, regardless of their interests or aspirations. While acknowledging that not all concepts will be interesting to every student, the author makes a strong case for compulsory education in these areas. The book positions education as a community endeavor, rooted in the idea that teaching children is less for their benefit and more for the nation's. The author questions established ideas about choice and personalization in education, arguing that society has a stake in ensuring a common foundation of knowledge and skills for all of its members. The author goes on to examine the themes of discipline, interest, and motivation, arguing that learning is often a gradual process that can't be rushed. The text also draws connections between education and societal well-being, examining how schools can contribute to the formation of an informed and engaged citizenry.
