Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Regulations of the High School for Girls, Boston: With a Catalogue of the Scholars, January, 1827 Since the publication of our former catalogue, - to which was prefixed some account of the motives and measures, which led to the establishment of the High School for Girls, of the provisions then contemplated for its support, and of the general principles upon which it was to be conducted, - the School Committee have introduced some alterations of an important nature, into their regulations relating to this institution. The course of instruction in the school has been much abridged, - the qualifications for admission have been fixed at a high standard, - and the ages of candidates have been reduced to much narrower limits than before. It is owing to these circumstances, especially the two last, that so few scholars have been examined and admitted, the present year; for the Committee of the school had estimated, from as correct data as the nature of the case allowed, that there would probably be more than four hundred applications for seats. The attainments of several of the candidates, who were rejected, were very creditable in all the required branches, excepting Mental Arithmetic; in this, all were deficient, in a greater or less degree. A large proportion of them had never paid any attention to the study; and some of those who professed to be acquainted with it, merely ciphered without a slate, exhibiting no acquaintance with that close and perspicuous method of reasoning, which constitutes the chief beauty and excellence of the system. It is understood that very many, desirous of entering the school, were deterred from offering themselves for examination, by a conscious deficiency in this branch; it having been embraced, but a short time, in the course of instruction pursued in the Writing Schools of the city. The following summary embraces those regulations of the School Committee, which relate particularly to this school.
