Excerpt from School Management: And the Principles and Practice of Teaching; With an Appendix Containing the Statutory Provisions of 1896 Relating to Continuation Classes, Duties of Teachers, Agreements, Etc;, And the Courses of Study for High and Public SchoolsIn the preparation of the work, advantage has been taken of the valuable contributions from leading American and European writers to the subject of pedagogy. It would be impossible to give full credit to the many persons - many of them teachers or Inspectors in Ontario from whom the author has, under various circumstances, gathered opinions which have helped to form his convictions on many questions here discussed. He has not scrupled to make use Of any available facts or arguments from the Educational Reports of other countries that in his judgment throw light upon the function of the school, and he has not hesitated to dissent from the views of some eminent writers upon a few topics concerning which his reading and observation have led him to form differ ent conclusions. He may, however, claim to have been guided mainly in the formation of the views set forth, not by, the study of theories, but by the practical knowledge he acquired as a teacher, either as assistant or as principal, in the rural school, in the graded city school, or in the High School, or Collegiate Institute.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
