Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Prospectus of the Female Seminary, at Wethersfield, Ct: Comprising a General Prospectus, Course of Instruction Maxims of Education, and Regulations of the Seminary, With Notes, Relating to Books, Branches of Literature, Methods of Instructions, &C, &C To expatiate upon the infinite importance of education, would be to repeat what thousands have said, but none sufficiently felt. There is one topic, however, belonging to this subject, which seems to have been most culpably neglected. It is the importance of co-operation among teachers, pupils, parents, patrons and all who have an influence in producing the momentous result. That our literary institutions are by no means, what they should be, is the cry of all, and perhaps, the fault of all; though many a censured teacher is doomed, like the scape goat, to bear the sins of the people. Not, however, that I would insinuate such a charge against my former patrons. On the contrary, I must forever acknowledge myself their debtor for the countenance and encouragement, with which they have seconded my feeble exertions; and I am induced to hope, that those who may hereafter confide their children to my tuition, will unite in the ardent wish, that our co-operation may be more complete, more vigorous and more effectual. To facilitate and promote this co-operation, is one design of this pamphlet. You will, therefore, allow me to request, that as far as you may find it convenient, you will acquaint yourselves with the institution which you are so kind as to patronise. If you approve of its object and its regulations; if you are satisfied with the branches, the books and exercises, that here solicit the energies of the youthful mind, you cannot fail to encourage the progress of those, in whose welfare you are most deeply interested. This encouragement may be offered, by attending occasionally to their chirograph, compositions and other performances; by conversing with them upon their studies; and by various means to facilitate the operation, in which they engage. If any part of my system, or my measures, should be so unhappy, as to incur your disapprobation, you will have the goodness to mention your objections to me, rather than to my pupils. You may in this way, enable me to correct misapprehensions, or to make important improvements in my course, or in my methods of instruction. Another object of this publication is to answer the inquiries of those, who may wish for information respecting my Seminary, more extensive and more particular, than can be conveniently presented in the public papers. It is also hoped, that the youthful teacher may gain some valuable hints from perusing the result of much reflection and many years´ experience. As it is my earnest wish, as far as possible, to gain and communicate improvements in the art of teaching, those who may honor the following pages with a perusal, will confer upon me a special favor, by freely suggesting to me their reflections, either in the form of criticism, comment, advice, or query. For this purpose they are particularly requested to mark passages, as they proceed. This request is made to my pupils, no less than to others.
