Excerpt from History of Common School Education: An Outline Sketch
This book aims to give, as clearly, concisely, and concrete as possible, such information regarding the history and development of the common or non-professional school as will most aid teachers and others to an intelligent understanding of the common school of to-day, its nature and functions, its relationship to other institutions, educational and other wise. Along with this it aims to give in outline an account of the development of the science and art of common school education that will aid the teacher in working out effective methods of instruction and organization. The book, it will be seen, is planned in accordance with the conviction that the adequate professional preparation of the teacher involves a knowledge of the history and development of the school as an institution as well as a knowledge of the development of educational theory.
My aim has been to bring the facts adduced to focus upon the history of common school work in America. For this reason more space than usual has been assigned to England and less to Germany, for although most of the current educational philosophy had its origin in the latter country, it is chiefly in the former that the earlier history of the American schools is to be traced.
