The Human Factor in Education (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Human Factor in Education If the United States is to maintain the financial and industrial leadership which has been thrust upon it by the extraordinary conditions in Europe, it must, among other things, handle the immigration question as a sci entific problem, not as one to be treated without thought or system; it must establish relations between employer and employee based, not upon the self-seeking of both, but upon their common needs and upon their loyalty the one to the other; it must develop its public education in such a way as to make efficient workmen and men competent to lead; it must deal with the tariff question not, as heretofore, at the behest of selfish interests, but on grounds of sound social economy; and it must seek out and give authority to men big enough to handle complicated financial questions as statesmen, not as tools either of those who, though equally greedy, are forever denouncing Wall Street greed, or of Wall Street itself.

Seven Factors of Education (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Seven Factors of Education Our shelves are loaded with the books of unlearned men. I have in mind two remarkably original works of recent times; they have justly brought their authors great renown, yet they both fail at the critical point, where the authors extend from their specialties and attempt to reach out for broader conclu sions in neighboring fields of knowledge - conclusions which are rendered totally invalid, almost ridiculous, thru deficiency in biological and anthropological learning. Learning necessarily occupies a vast amount of time, and it is a false modernism which depreciates its place in education. How near-sighted are certain reactions against it; how absurd the fads of certain ultra-modern schools; how out of time the premature exclusive specialization; how inadequate the extreme laboratory system even in the university, how futile to attempt to educate exclusively thru research.

Psychology of Education (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Psychology of Education This book is a systematic treatise neither on psychology nor on education. It endeavours to set forth the rela tion between them. This relation must be found in the actual lives Of individual children, and it is to help people engaged in education to study those lives that I have written. I have endeavoured to keep as free as possible from technicalities, and throughout to deal with life as a developing whole. Though the treat ment is psychological, the selection of topics has been determined by educational considerations. The end sought is a presentation of the general form in which efficiency of life develops through ever-extending pur poses. The various human faculties are regarded as factors inter - mingled, in an indefinitely large variety of ways, in every piece Of life, and are, therefore, not considered apart and in themselves. Similarly, little or nothing is said of elements of experience which are merely constituent of fuller forms Of life.

Dynamic Factors in Education (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Dynamic Factors in Education In the Bibliography I have indicated the general char acter of each reference, and where it has been referred to in the text, I have also suggested the classes of readers for whom it is best adapted. Throughout the text I have referred to the most important book and periodical literature treating of each topic considered, and it will be apparent in most cases, I think, what is the general point of view of any reference. It has seemed to me this would enable the student to choose his readings with greater definiteness than if lists Of books had been given at the close of each chapter.

Mind and Hand


Book Description

Excerpt from Mind and Hand: Manual Training the Chief Factor in Education IN 1879 I read a paper before the Chicago Philosoph ical Society on the subject of The Inventive Genius; or, an Epitome of Human Progress. The suggestion of the subject came from Mr. Charles J. Barnes, to whom I desire in this public way to express my obligation for an introduction to a profoundly interesting study, and one which has given a new direction to all my thoughts. At the conclusion of my labors in the preparation of the paper, I realized the force of Bacon's remark, that the real and legitimate goal of the sciences is the en dowment of human life with new inventions and riches.
