Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address Delivered by Judge Arthur Mac Arthur at the Ninth Annual Commencement, of the Washington Normal School for the District of Columbia, June 9, 1882 These young ladies have completed the course of studies prescribed in the Washington Normal School, and are entitled to receive the certificate awarded to all those who have passed the test of a satisfactory examination. They have been specially trained in the science of teaching, and will find employment at once to instruct the various grades in the public schools of the District. We have assembled this evening to honor their diligence, to witness the delivery of their certificates, and to bid them God-speed in the highly useful career to which they have devoted so much of their future life. The Normal School is a revolution in the science of pedagogies. It is the revolution of our century. The art by which the teacher himself is taught successfully the principles and rules which pertain to the instruction of the young, is a new thing and one of the most important innovations upon the old regime of primary education. Under a very modest name we have a grand and fruitful institution for the professional training in the theory and practice of school education. A baker or a shoemaker had to learn his trade by an apprenticeship of several years before he could practice it; but no preparation was expected of the schoolmaster. He entered the schoolroom relying upon main strength and a good birch rod to carry him through the stern struggle of experience. I remember the unique type of the ancient pedagogue well. He used to give me a dose of physical education most every day. and I can assure you it made a most unfavorable impression upon me. It improved neither my temper nor my mind.
