Excerpt from The New Education: School Management, a Practical Guide for the Teacher in the School
It is one of the peculiarities of our educational system, that a very large number of teachers undertake the duties of the school-room each year without any special preparation. They are obliged to face both the difficulties of teaching and governing without the slightest experience in either. This being the state of things, whoever can write a word that will guide or assist the teacher in these trying circumstances is justified in doing it. The author presents his contribution for this purpose, trusting it will be found to be a practical aid in meeting the perplexities that arise in the school-room.
It may disappoint those readers who expect to find in it a "patent" plan to reduce a bold and wayward youth to instantaneous submission. No small number of difficulties have arisen from the attempt by the teacher to sway his scepter with too little regard for the fact, that the school in this republican country is a republic. The only way to manage a self-governing people is to render the citizens manageable; and this is especially true of a school.
