Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from 1000 Pedagogical Dont's, or How to Teach and How Not to Teach: A Series of Educational Commandments, Pointing Out Briefly but Clearly and Authoritively, Errors to Be Avoided, and Telling Plainly, What to Do in Order to Become a Successful Teacher
To busy teachers, who are seeking light on the perplexing prob lems connected with Methods of Teaching and School Management, this epitome of the views of leading educators, is respectfully dedicated.
Each don't is substantially a quotation from some recognized standard authority, proper credit and accurate reference being made in each case. While the syntactical structure of the sentences quoted has often been changed somewhat to conform to the plan of of the work, the meaning of the author has been carefully preserved. This makes the manual a reliable Compendium of Rules on the Theory and Practice of Teaching. It contains the gist of many costly vol umes, classified and arranged for ready reference.
N o effort has been made to harmonize the various views pre sented, the aim being to include representative Opinions on all of the topics embraced in the manual. It contains not the whims of a one sided specialist but the combined wisdom of the many.
Of course this. Manual is not intended to supersede the more extended works from which it has been so largely drawn. They are for patient, continued study; this is for quick and constant reference. They plant principles and elaborate theories; this shoots straight at the mark a thousand arrows, barbed so they will stick in the mind.
