Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Institute Circular: Addressed to County Superintendents, School Trustees, and Teachers, Calling a State Teachers Institute Nor is the Institute less productive of useful results to professionally educated Teachers. Association in some form is one of the most powerful agencies of the times. In Conventions of, industry and arts, mind is dignifying the labor of the artisan. Farmers have their agricultural societies, and hold their annual fairs, in which are exhibited the best stock, the choicest varieties of grain and vegetables, the most approved agricultural implements, and the best labor-saving machines. The inventions, improvements, and discoveries of one, thus become the common property of all. Is not the education of the children as important to the State as the raising of beeves or racers, or the culture of mammoth squashes and cabbages? Is not the training of the masters who are to own them all, as necessary as the improvement of the breed of Durhams and Morgans? Shall the Swamp Lands be reclaimed, at the expense of thousands of dollars, while the childred run wild in our fertile valleys? Associations and Conventions in other States have changed teaching from a monotonous routine to a skilful art. The abstract, didactic, pedantic, book-bound style of the old-school teaching, has been succeeded by more natural and philosophical methods of developing the human mind. And while Institutes have accomplished so much in introducing better methods of instruction, they are no less beneficial in their effects on the mental habits of the Teachers. Constantly imparting to minds inferior to his own, his faculties exercised in one direction only, his full strength seldom called forth, he needs the stimulus of contact with his equals, or superiors. A vigorous contest in a new arena, lessens his self-conceit, and brightens his faculties. It is a common notion that the occupation of teaching makes a man narrow-minded, or leads him into eccentricities, which stick to him like burs; but it is not true of a Teacher who has in him the elements of living scholarship. He may, it is true, run in the grooves of daily habit, until he becomes a machine for dragging the dead weight of a School; but, on the other hand, he may, while imparting to others, himself drink from the perennial fountain of true scholarship. But no occupation is more exhausting to nervous force and mental energy than teaching; and the Teacher needs, above all others, the cheering influences of pleasant social intercourse with those whose tastes and habits are similar to his own.
