Excerpt from Organic Education: A Manual for Teachers in Primary and Grammar Grades
The main purpose of this book is very simple. It is to make a plain, straightforward report of a plan of work that has been in operation experimentally for some years in one of the regular ward school buildings of a large city. But in presenting the report it has been deemed necessary to give the underlying principles or philosophy of the plan. This philosophical interpretation constitutes Part I. Theory thus seems to come before practice, but such is not really the case. Part I presents not the starting-point of the work, - for that, as will be explained, was purely practical, - but the meaning of the work after it had been carried far enough for its meaning to become explicit. In Part II will be found a detailed statement of the methods actually pursued and of the materials actually employed. It is hoped that both parts of the work will be of interest and profit to teachers in other schools.
Grateful acknowledgment for assistance in the preparation of this book is made to the teachers in the Detroit Normal Training School, whose unflagging loyalty and enthusiasm have alone made it possible to carry on the work outlined in the following pages.
