Excerpt from Supervised Study in Mathematics and Science
In attempting a book on supervised study which will cover even approximately the subjects of mathematics and science, it is impossible to do more than give suggestive lessons. This, therefore, has been my plan - to give only one or two typical outlines of a topic or subject, but to leave an intimation of its application whenever or wherever the teacher may elect. Thus, only one Red Letter Day lesson is presented in Algebra, but the teacher will undoubtedly desire to use many such plans during the year. The material in the lessons mentioned may be suggestive for the planning of others.
I have not tried to add another learned book in pedagogy to the many already on the market. It has rather been my aim to write a book that may be of explicit and direct value to the teacher or principal who is daily striving to teach his children how to study and how to learn. I have tried to write it in simple language, so that the reader may get the meat, if there be any, without too much stuffing.
It is needless to say that I am a firm believer in supervised study. It has done much for our children; I am sure it will do more as we progress in the proficiency of its administration. It is not a panacea for all pedagogical ills, but it is valuable for what it claims to be, and it holds great promise for the future.
