Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Junior High School Idea Speyer School therefore has been developed and is developing as an experimental school where, under Professor Briggs´ direction, the principal and teachers have been wholly free to work out such administrative methods and such courses of study as seemed best fitted to secure the results desired. The six hundred pupils have been public school boys (and for a time girls also) selected from some twenty neighboring elementary schools because of their promise of school success. On the whole, the pupils have been above the average New York City boys of their age in general intelligence. The twenty teachers too are above the average, having been selected for initiative, knowledge of subject matter, a willingness to try eagerly and honestly such innovations as have been proposed, and above all, for that professional spirit that leads them to consider first most carefully the reasons why a thing should be done at all, and then being satisfied on that point to do that thing as well as in them lies. The general aim of Speyer School as stated by Professor Briggs and accepted by the faculty and pupils of the school has been: First: "To teach pupils to do better those desirable activities that they will do anyway and to teach these by means of material in itself worth while." Second, "To reveal higher types of activities and to make these both desired and, to an extent, possible."
