Excerpt from The Child and the Curriculum
There is another study in which I am engaged, which is still more tedious and perplexing - to make myself master of all the rules of a hundred different kinds of verses, and of all the musical modulations of words and syllables. After deploring the lack of able teachers, he continues It would far exceed the bounds of a familiar letter to explain this matter fully, to lay open all the secrets of that art of metre, concerning letters, syllables, poetic feet and figures, verses, tones, time, &0. Add to this the doctrine of the seven divisions of poetry with all their variations, and what number of feet every different kind of verse must consist of.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the historical development of educational curricula from the earliest monastic schools to the present day. The author argues that the history of curriculum development can be divided into two main periods: the period of formal, classical education, which lasted from the Middle Ages to the 19th century, and the period of modern, child-centered education which followed. During the first period, the curriculum was based on the study of Latin, Greek, and mathematics. The goal of education was to produce scholars and gentlemen who would be able to take their place in the ruling class. In the second period, the curriculum was broadened to include a wider range of subjects, such as science, history, and geography. The goal of education became to develop the whole child, not just the intellect. The author concludes that the history of curriculum development is a reflection of the changing social and intellectual needs of society. As society has changed, so too has the curriculum of its schools.
