Excerpt from Principles of Secondary Education

In the construction of a book on the principles of second ary education one of two methods may be employed. A number of specialists may collaborate in the production of a book which consists of several more or less isolated treatises on various separate phases of secondary education. Such a method has many merits, but precludes the develop ment of a consistently constructive theory. On the other hand, when a single individual attempts to write a book covering a field as broad as that of secondary education, there are always two possible dangers: either the limitations of the individual may lead to superficial treatment and error, or unsupported personal opinion and bias may dominate. The first of these dangers is minimized when the writer refrains from attempting to deal with the details of teach ing appropriate to the various studies of the secondary school program and confines this attention to more funda mental principles. In this book the author deals with special studies only in connection with the broader matters of aims and values, together with the larger elements of method necessarily involved. A later volume in this series will deal with the principles of teaching in the secondary school and several volumes will deal with methods of teaching special subjects or groups of subjects.

Excerpt from Principles of Secondary Education

In this book the author has attempted to make a systematic analysis of the factors and principles involved in a constructive theory of secondary education. The theory herein developed is the outgrowth of the writers experience in secondary-school teaching and administration, together with his experience as a college instructor in the theory and practice of secondary education. The present volume presents the content and method employed in a course of the Principles of Secondary Education at Harvard University. After use in manuscript form for several years, the book is now published in the hope that it may prove of some value to teachers, administrators, and other students of education.

Three factors must always determine the form which secondary education should assume: (a) the nature of the pupils to be educated;(6) the character of the social organization and of social ideals; (c)the means and materials available for educational purposes. Accordingly this volume is divided into three parts. Part I is devoted to a consideration of the raw material with which secondary education deals, i.e., boys and girls approximately twelve to eighteen years of age. Part II is devoted to a consideration of the secondary school as a social institution its character, place, and function. Part III is devoted to a consideration of the means and materials wherewith the aims of secondary education can be achieved. Throughout it has beeji the endeavor of the author to coordinate and correlate the various portions of the book in such a way as to develop a theory of secondary education in which the several elements are organically related and mutually consistent.
