Excerpt from History of Education in Iowa, Vol. 2
The chapters in this volume treat mainly of those activities and organizations which are the outgrowth of experience. The educational plant having been equipped with the machinery, it seems to have required an increasing number of agencies to develop and direct it. Hence supervision in due time found its place; the institute took on a new form; and the mutual interest of a common occupation led to the formation of associations which subsequently were organized into special groups. Moreover, the means of communication and the public expression of principles involved in the process of instruction induced a variety of effort in educational journalism; while the increasing output of books suitable for self-education encouraged the establishment of school libraries. Finally, the decline of old practices in which the home provided for exercise in domestic duties and an apprenticeship in industrial pursuits has thrust upon the public educational system a new function in the shape of shop, kitchen, sewing-room, and experimental plot.
