Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Milwaukee Normal School Bulletin, Vol. 5: The Proposed Constitutional Amendment and the Wisconsin School The claims of early childhood are receiving increasing recognition at the hands of American educators, and increasing provision is being made for the education of young children. Statistics show that 50 per cent. of the children who enter school drop out at the end of the fourth grade. Efforts to lengthen this school period at the upper end seem unavailing; its lengthening at the lower is therefore increasingly recognized as desirable. The years between four and six are preeminently the habit forming years. If these years are spent in acquiring the habits of the street the school has a double task to perform in the few years that constitute the school period of the great majority: it must correct the wrong habits that have been formed and inculcate in their stead the right ones. That the school must lay hold of the habit forming years of early childhood if the best results of education are to be obtained is being increasingly emphasized by modern education theory. This is one of the reasons why the establishment of kindergartens in the large cities has come to be regarded as not alone educationally desirable, but sociologically necessary. It is the increasing recognition of the value of the early years for educational purposes, and the recognition of the kindergarten as affording the best form of education for these early years that has enrolled a half million children in the kindergartens of the United States and added ten thousand kindergartners to the teaching force of the country. The proposed amendment to the constitution of Wisconsin raising the school age from four years to six is in direct opposition to the general trend of educational thought, practice, and legislation throughout the country. The country at large is increasingly recognizing the necessity of saving young children from the corrupting influences of the street; by the passage of this amendment Wisconsin would turn into the street between 20,000 and 30,000 children now enrolled in its kindergartens and schools.
