Seite 53 - ... its love of living concrete forms, and distaste for abstractions ; its irrepressible imagination ; its active but feeble intellect. All these are psychological facts relating to the minds to be taught. Next comes the art of teaching, its conditions and processes: — In general, how to unfold a subject from its elementary principles : how to awaken interest and excite curiosity ; how to create a sense of propriety, and form a pure taste ; how to transmute the lower into higher motives ; how to...
Seite 48 - Canada line, worked up by steam or water power, and returned aud sold here at lower rates than we can manufacture them. Hand labor is of but little account ; brain work has the ascendency everywhere. Even in so simple a work as that of making boots and shoes, not less than seventeen patented inventions are now used. Crimping, stitching, sewing, pegging, eyeleting, riveting are done in less time than it would require to describe the process. One woman can make the eyelet holes of 1,440 pairs of shoes...

This is only half of what the teacher needs, and much the easier half You will find twenty who have this qualification where you find one who knows how to teach and govern.

The arts will be of the rudest sort. That skill, which in this age is an essential element of prosperity, will be wanting. The sad story to be told of this class is that individual life is dull, monotonous, and unthinking ; home life, coarse, blunt, and uninviting ; social life, low and unimproving ; civil life, jealous, selfish, and quarrelsome...

Seite 49 - So men think the readiest-made teachers are cut-down men of other employments. We have hundreds of such teachers, not one of whom has the slightest doubt of his fitness for the office.
