Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Plan for the Study of Local History and Kindred Subjects in the Public Schools
The following outline is not prepared for the purpose of arranging for an additional branch of study in our public schools. It is desirable that the regular work in reading, spelling, penmanship, geography, arithmetic, history and language shall receive most of the effort of the children. No school can serve the children best which fails to have systematic, thorough drill in these studies.
The children should be provided with text - books. Lessons should be assigned and studied. The principles and processes must be mastered. Frequent reviews should be given, and recitations conducted for the pur pose of extending the child's information, and also furnishing him with opportunities to state in his own words the facts learned and the ideas evolved.
