Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Teacher´s Robinson Crusoe; A Manual for Primary Teachers Nothing need here be said about the merit of the Robinson story. The fact that it has fascinated and still is fascinating generations, proves its intrinsic worth. It is owing to its deep and perennial interest that an attempt is here made to use it as a means of instruction. It is here attempted to bring within the focus of this interest the language or expressive skill and to some extent the manual work in the school - to use it as a content to be expressed in these different ways. The purpose is to furnish a content not only rich and worth while in itself but to use it for the purpose of getting skill in all oral and written language, illustration, and the manual arts. The text here given is a very free adaptation of the original story. The main departure is that Robinson gets nothing from the wrecked ship. It is years afterward that he obtains tools from another ship wrecked off the island. Incidents have been added and departures made wherever it was thought best to do so. Robinson, in the adapted version, lived in New York. This gives the story a more familiar air and adapts it better to primary work. Indeed any other city could as well be used. For Chicago children he could better perhaps be placed in that city. In this way the normal direction of education instruction would be conserved. The idea of such an adapted Robinson Crusoe was first obtained from a German version of the story by William Rein. A translation was made of this version and used for some years in Chicago. This version may be considered as the starting point for the present one. It has been almost entirely rewritten, however, as it was meagre in detail, inaccurate, and unsatisfactory in many other respects.
