Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Plan of Instruction for the New York Public Schools Sixth. It would render more rapid and more thorough, the improvement of scholars in all the elementary branches of common education. Seventh. It would set an effective example for other schools, in this and other states, for rendering their systems more natural, practical, and moral, in their operations, and thus render American Education more adequate to the purposes of a Republican Government. On each position here taken, facts can be adduced, of such a character, and in such abundance, as to convince any candid mind, that their soundness and feasibility, are no less evident than their importance. Though it would trespass much too largely upon your time to go into an exposition of the measures referred to, two or three facts among thousands of a similar character, showing that provisions may easily be made for employing usefully the physical, intellectual, and moral energies of children, Which, to a fearful extent, are now running to waste, or to absolute and alarming evil, may be admissible. A joint circular, by Dr. Reese and Mr. Seton, sent to the teachers of the schools, about three weeks before their late recess, resulted, before they closed, in not less than ten thousand elementary Cabinets of Geology, for nearly the same number of families, collected, assorted, and labelled by the pupils; securing, in very many instances, a hearty interest and essential aid from their parents and other friends. Public School No.15, collected, prepared, labelled, and distributed, not less than four hundred such cabinets in one day. They then prepared some specimens of Geology and Geomety for sending to Syracuse, to be exhibited to a convention of teachers, and presented to the schools of that village. In return for those specimens, just received from Syracuse, are a collection of plants and a small cabinet of minerals, principally collected from the salt-works, accompanied by two appropriate and well written letters; one directed to the girls, and the other to the boys, of New York Public School No.15, which collections I send for your examination. With that I send a box prepared during the vacation, by a small boy in No 16, and some specimens of wood prepared by a former pupil of No.17, now learning carriage making on Long Island, and sent to his brothers, still members of that school. The box was made by the father of the first boy named, who collected and labelled the minerals, who is a piano-maker. He has promised his little son, that he will polish the box, and make another for his little sister. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
