Excerpt from The Adult Worker and His Work Is it not worth while to teach the Bible as well as we teach arithmetic and geography, to give as good instruction in the things of the soul and the life to come as in those of the counting house and commerce? - Burt0n and Mathews. The new system is the result Of developments that have been in process for many years in the educational world. The principles of the new education have been recognized and followed in the public schools for a good while; their recognition in the Sunday-school has come tardily, but can not be any longer postponed.

The Worker and His Work (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Worker and His Work This book has been compiled in an effort to meet the needs of boys and girls who feel the urgent necessity of selecting the right vocation. Few subjects provoke so keen an interest as that of one's life work. The thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts. But there is danger in early selection and specialization before there is perspective. To be a vocational misfit is almost as tragic as to have no work at all.

The Adult Learner


Book Description

How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of Malcolm Knowles’ pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centred approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. The 9th edition of The Adult Learner has been revised to include: Updates to the book to reflect the very latest advancements in the field. The addition of two new chapters on diversity and inclusion in adult learning, and andragogy and the online adult learner. An updated supporting website. This website for the 9th edition of The Adult Learner will provide basic instructor aids including a PowerPoint presentation for each chapter. Revisions throughout to make it more readable and relevant to your practices. If you are a researcher, practitioner, or student in education, an adult learning practitioner, training manager, or involved in human resource development, this is the definitive book in adult learning you should not be without.




The Faith of a Quaker (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Faith of a Quaker There arise also the insistent questions which beset all mystics, and which in Quakerism demanded a corporate, instead of an individual, answer.

The Workers


Book Description

Excerpt from The Workers: An Experiment in Reality; The West That, at all events, is pretty much as it ap pears to-night to Tom Clark and me. Clark is my partner, and we are not in good luck nor in high spirits. We each had a ten-cent breakfast this morning, but neither has tasted food since, and to-night, after an exhausting search for work, we must sleep in the station-house. We are doing our best to pass the time in warmth and comfort until midnight. We know better than to go to the station-house earlier than that hour. Clark is in the corner at my side pretending to read a newspaper, but really trying to disguise the fact that he is asleep.

The Management and the Worker (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Management and the Worker There are scores of successful plans in this volume, all of which have a direct bearing upon conditions in every concern where the so-called labor problem exists. In some of these organizations the application of many of these plans and methods may be readily made without readjustments, while in others varia tions may be necessary or advisable in order to meet varying conditions. It will be found that as often as is consistent with adequate presentation of the subjects, plans are de scribed by the users themselves. The names of those who have given special assistance are mentioned on an earlier page. The editors of the volumes have gone to successful managers for their successful poli cies and plans, and it is believed that nowhere is there to be found in equal space an equal body of evidence that management can cope successfully, and with extraordinary results in profits, with what is commonly known as the labor problem.
