Excerpt from The New Manual and Guide for Teachers: Containing a Complete System of Grading the Public Schools in All Departments
The constantly increasing demand for the former edition of the Manual and Guide has entirely exhausted the supply and made its further publication necessary. In tho preparation of the new edition, the author has taken the opportunity to thoroughly revise the work and to add to it a number of new and valuable features. It is no longer a manual for the teacher of the elementary district school only, but in its enlarged scope and application it will be found equally helpful in all grades and departments of the city and town schools. As now arranged, its aim is to unify elementary school work and to harmonize along essential lines the advanced or high-school courses of study. The principle of uniformity, however, applies only to fundamental requirements common to all school work, while giving the widest possible latitude in the choice of text-books, methods of teaching, and adaptation to local conditions.
This Manual is not intended to be an exhaustive treatise upon school work and management. It is designed rather to be a practical school-room guide for teachers. In plan and purpose, it has grown out of an extended and varied experience in teaching and school supervision, and is, therefore, adapted to the actual conditions, needs, and possibilities of our public school system. In the ideas advanced, the author does not lay claim to much that is new or original in pedagogy. No untried theories are advocated and no impractical work is presented.
