Excerpt from The Pennsylvania School Journal, 1877, Vol. 26 The conference recommended the use of reading books based on the sciences, and not on the worn-out systems of the past or the gathered nonsense of the present. It was time. A reading-book for children should be large - very large. We should also have educational libraries for the young. Equally neces sary are school museums, to enable teachers to give object lessons with effect. They favor walks by teach ers and scholars to places where nature can be studied to the best advantage, and visits to museums and monuments for the purpose of learning history, &c. The doctrine is, all comes through the senses. Success to the one that goes farthest in showing us what children should be allowed to see, and down with the teacher who prates of subjects which children cannot understand, and which consequently destroy all their originality. The congress gave attention also to the means to be employed in developing the artistic taste of chil dren. The method proposed was again educational walks, the observation -of nature, of leaves, flowers, works of architecture, drawing. You see at once the drift of the discussion. I am persuaded that some educational walks will soon constitute a part of our sys tem of education. They also insisted that more time should be devoted to the teaching of drawing, that lessons on this subject should be given every day. Music should form a part of every course in all ele mentary schools, and many hold that gymnastics con tributes towards the development of a taste for the beautiful. Of the truth of this latter Opinion 1 am not altogether sure. A young teacher, in a paper well considered and well written, took the ground that there ought to be in each Canton an extra teacher to take the place of any one sick or necessarily absent.

Excerpt from The Pennsylvania School Journal, 1895, Vol. 44 The best ethical training in the public schools does not come from text-books. These may help, but they will fail of their purpose unless one very essential condition is present, and that is, a vigorous personality in the teacher's desk. It is strange, the number of people of intelligence who seem to think that success in the school-room depends upon one thing only - a knowledge, on the part of the instructor, of the subject to be taught. But the truth is, to-day and to-morrow as well, that the value of the teacher, regarded from any standpoint any one pleases, ethical or what not, depends upon the influence he is able to exert - an influence not manufactured, but in the person by right divine. The true text-book, therefore, for expounding temperance truths, or for the ethical training of the child, is in the teacher's chair; it is he or she who goes in and out before them day by day, holding them, if worthy of the position, with silken cords and yet as strong as steel. It is agreed by an overwhelming weight of evidence that the best light for a school-room is exclusively on the side of the room to the left of the pupils; that the windows should be massed as closely as safe construction will allow along nearly the whole of the side; that the windows should be square at the top (not circular), and extend quite to the ceiling, and that the window sill should be higher than the tops of the pupils' desks; that the seat farthest from the windows should be about twice the distance from the tops of the desks to the ceiling, or, in general, once and a half the height of the room; that, when necessary to shut off a part of the light, the lower part of the window, and never the top or sides, should be shaded; that shades should therefore always roll from the bottom, and, where the direct rays of the sun enter the room, white, or very light, curtains should roll from the top merely to soften, but never to shut out, the light; and if blinds are used, they should be made in sections and slide up and down, and that blackboards should never be placed between windows. The walls and ceiling of the room should be tinted a light pearl, lavender, or brown color, rather than a darker shade, or any shade of yellow; and the shades (rolling from the bottom) should be of a similar color, or of a greenish tint. Shades of yellow are not good for the eyes. - Supt. A. P. Marble. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Pennsylvania School Journal, 1899, Vol. 48 Stevens. Our first end was special, that Pennsylvania might know and duly honor these men for their unselfish devotion to the cause of general education. The second, that their portraits might go upon the walls of school rooms everywhere to aid in encouraging the placing of more pictures, and good ones, in the schools of the State. The importance of ornamenting the walls of the school-room - the benefit that may result from it, and therefore the necessity and the duty involved is felt, as it should be, by few teachers and school officers. This item of the school equipment is no less essential in the ideal school than text-books or furniture. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
