Excerpt from The Anti-Examination CrazeAn education is a progression, each day con tinning yesterday's building and preparing for to - morrow's superstructure. One by one the various faculties of the child are brought into activity. The true educator recognizes these faculties as they reveal themselves and by exercise he develops them. The work Of the first class in school should be those subjects which will employ those faculties the child actively possesses at that period of his life. And also the first steps in those subjects which will enable him to acquire information for him self and be helpful to him in the process of his development. He must be trained to apply himself to what is necessary as well as what is agreeable and to be thorough in all that he does, gaining information and developing power. The work Of the first grade prepares him for that Of the next class and is necessary to successful work in it whether under the same teacher or under another.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
