19659But the question that confronts us at every turn is,_ What is the disciplinary value of nature study_?
19659But to what was his remarkable influence as a teacher of young men due?
19659But we believe that those educators whose first, middle, and last question in education is,"What is the_ disciplinary_ value of a study?"

19659If a dry goods merchant, a horse jockey, and an architect pass down a city street together, what will each observe?
19659Into what_ relations_ shall the other studies of the school enter to these historical materials?
19659Is it by supposing that the child has a will already developed and strong enough to be relied upon on all occasions?
19659Is n''t there a quicker and easier way?
19659Is there then any reason why school history should ignore its blood relationships to other branches of knowledge?
19659Is this history adapted to cultivate the highest moral and intellectual qualities of children as they advance from year to year?
19659Knowledge likewise enters the mind, but how far will assimilation go on without conscious effort?
19659Now what will the average man, picked up at random, say to our question: What is the chief end in the education of your son?
19659Now, who is better able to judge of the true aim than thoughtful and solicitous_ parents_?
19659On the contrary, must not the teacher put incentives in the path of the pupil, ideas and feelings that prompt him to self- denial?
19659On what principle is it possible to select both interesting and valuable materials for the successive grades?
19659Secondly, what is the_ effect on the old ideas_?
19659Shall we answer to all this that schools were never designed to teach such things?
19659Shall we seek to avoid responsibility for the moral aim by throwing it upon the family and the church?
19659So long as we are dealing with fundamental aims in such a serious business as education, why stop short of that ideal which is manifestly the best?

19659The first question, preliminary to all others in the common school course,"What is the most important study?"
19659The under- lying question in education is not, How strong or incisive is his mind?
19659To what extent does history contribute to our purpose?

13398Can we have a word with you, before school takes up?
13398Do you mean to say that you do n''t know what it is to lean against a tree? 13398 Dodd"wondered what was wanted, but arose, as he was bidden, and went to the door,"Do you see that tree, away down the road?"
13398How old is your boy?
13398Is that the actual truth of the matter?
13398It is a fine time for you to plead your mother now, is n''t it?
13398So you will not give me money to pay my fine?
13398That''s what I think it means; what do you think it means?
13398Well, what have I got to do if I go back?
13398Well, will you give the boy a trial?
13398What do I think it means?
13398What is your name, my dear?
13398What line?
13398Where do you suppose I hid?
13398Why are you leaving the room,''Dodd''?
13398Why do n''t you want to try,''Dodd?''
13398Why, what is this?
13398Why, what is this?
13398You do n''t think I''d lie about a thing like that, do you?
13398All this you may do, and yet, of what avail is it all?
13398And do not content yourself, either, by merely saying,"But what are we going to do about it?"
13398And for you, good people, who do not believe in this sort of thing, what about this case?
13398And if not a crime in"Dodd''s"case, why in other cases like his?
13398And the question is, what are we to do about it?
13398And what are you going to do about it?
13398And why not?
13398Are you a drunkard, with an appetite for drink that is gnawing your life away?
13398As people are born, so are they always, and what do all our strivings to change thy decrees amount to?
13398But what were the world without martyrs?
13398Did you ever hook a big fish, when angling with a light rod and line?
13398Did you ever think that when the Master received his severest temptation it was when he was alone?
13398Do n''t you suppose, good people, that it would be a great deal better, all around, if we each one got what we really deserve just when we deserve it?
13398Do you intend to mind me?"
13398Do you see any relation between"Dodd"and Amanda, good folks?
13398Do you understand?"
13398Does Mary whisper too much?
13398Eh?
13398Gentle teacher, you who read these lines, you know who was to take care of this specimen, do n''t you?
13398He may never become famous, but what is fame?
13398His heart sank, but, inspired by that same power which had so often come to him in an emergency, he said:"What is it''Dodd''?"
13398How is it in your own household, beloved?
13398I wonder if it is worth while to try to do anything with these boys, or for them?
13398If not, is it not remarkable?
13398If such is the effect on a dry old stump of a lawyer, what must the effect be on a green, sensitive child?
13398Indeed, what had he to care for, in all that great city?
13398Is John doing something that he should not do?
13398Is it, or is it not, better so?
13398It would have been a crime to treat in like manner a gentle little girl with a sweet disposition, but was it a crime in the case of"Dodd?"
13398Miss Stone was alarmed, and she almost trembled as she asked:"''Dodd,''where are the beans?"
13398Now, what is meant by that?"
13398Now, who thinks he can take the pointer and point to the kind of girl I ask for?"
13398Oh, Mr. Sliman, you were very sharp, were n''t you?
13398Rather young for such ideas?
13398She came down to his desk and said:"It''s a bad kind of a morning for boys, is n''t it,''Dodd''?"
13398So"Dodd"took a room down town, and then if the devil went to sleep, sure of his victim, you do not wonder, do you?
13398The boy glanced up and giggled just a little-- such a knowing giggle, too, as much as to say:"What do you take me for?
13398The question strikes one, then, why should he have been promised this, and why led to hope for and expect it?
13398The world is much the same now as it was a good many years ago, is n''t it?
13398There are multitudes in like case, and what are we going to do about it?
13398There is no pleasing feature in its early stages, but does not its outcome warrant all its ugly phases?
13398Under these circumstances his parents did not force him to school, and who shall say they did wrong by letting him stay at home and work?
13398Was this the fault of his education, thus far?
13398What are you going to do about this?
13398What does that mean?
13398What is it to this great mill if the pupils do fall out of the hopper?
13398What kind o''folks hev you got?
13398What, indeed?
13398Why should anyone comment on such a fact?
13398Why should he not revere such a source of help; such an everlasting tower of strength?
13398Why should he not take it?
13398Why should it?
13398Why, where was you raised?
13398Yet the question remained, what should be done when they did meet?
13398Yet you all know Miss Spinacher, do n''t you, ladies and gentlemen?
13398You all know this boy, do n''t you, beloved?
13398You do n''t believe this?
13398You have found it so in your own experience, have n''t you, my friend?
13398You have found it so yourself, have n''t you, beloved?
13398You have had dollars of your own that have been appropriated thus, have you not?
13398You have seen such wrecks by the score, have you not, good friends?
13398You know what followed, do you not, ladies and gentlemen?
13398he retorted;"what do I think it means?
16987But how about the teachers?
16987But,I objected,"is that consistent with the doctrine of spontaneity?"
16987How do you get the beautiful results that you exhibit?
16987Tell me,he would say,"who are the great men of your country?
16987What do they make at this table?
16987What,he asked,"is the dominant characteristic of the child''s mind?"
16987Again you say to me, What can education do when the spirit of the times speaks so strongly on the other side?
16987Again, how may the story be best presented?
16987And should not we who teach stand for idealism in its widest sense?
16987And since I have made this personal reference, may I violate the canons of good taste and make still another?
16987And what will be the result of this new point of view?
16987Are we losing our hold upon the sterner virtues which our fathers possessed,--upon the things of the spirit that are permanent and enduring?
16987But after all, are not the basic and fundamental things these ideals that I have named?
16987But is the situation absolutely hopeless?
16987But what is the relation of the craft spirit to these facts?
16987But when I graduated, what did I find?
16987But, you ask, what can education do to alleviate a condition of this sort?
16987Can general education help us out at all in this matter?
16987Could a pupil who has lived vicariously through such experiences as these easily forsake principle for policy?
16987Did he follow them out consistently in the operation of his school?
16987HOW MAY WE PROMOTE THE EFFICIENCY OF THE TEACHING FORCE?
16987How are we to do it?
16987How many of our boys and girls have ever heard of MacDowell, or James, or Whistler, or Sargent?
16987How many of the allusions need be run down in order to give the maximal effect of the masterpiece?
16987How may the weak influence of the school make itself felt in an environment that has crystallized on every hand this unfortunate standard?
16987How, then, is the efficiency of instruction( as distinguished from training or habit building) to be tested?
16987I have said that we must ask of every subject that we teach, How does it influence conduct?
16987II The first question for which we should seek an answer in connection with the value of any school subject is this: How does it influence conduct?
16987IV But what has all this to do with school supervision?
16987If this is not our function in the scheme of things, then what is our function?
16987Is it to cower in dread of a criticism that is not only unjust but often ill- advised of the real conditions under which we are doing our work?
16987Is it to stand with bated breath to catch the first whisper that will usher in the next change?
16987Is it to surrender all initiative and simply allow ourselves to be tossed hither and yon by the waves and cross- waves of a fickle public opinion?
16987Is there any other useful outcome of a general nature that we may rank in importance with these two?
16987It is easy to preach the simple life, but who will live it unless he has to?
16987It reminded me of the spirited discussion that one of the Sunday papers started some years since on the world- old query,"Is marriage a failure?"
16987Now if this ideal of persistent effort is the most useful thing that can come out of education, what is the next most useful?
16987Now what was the secret of its utility?
16987Now what was the secret of the efficiency of this school?
16987Should the story be sketched through first, and then read in some detail, or will one reading suffice?
16987The young teacher''s tendency is always to ask himself,"Do my pupils like me?"
16987What are these facts?
16987What do men find to be the useful thing in their lives?
16987What do we mean by national traits?
16987What does the true artist care for the plaudits or the sneers of the crowd?
16987What is their relation to our problem?
16987What laws govern their operation?
16987What part shall the pupils read in class?
16987What part shall they read at home?
16987What part, if any, shall we read to them?
16987What questions are necessary to insure appreciation?
16987What type of achievement have you been led to imitate and emulate and admire?"
16987What will be their answer?
16987What, after all, is the"useful"study in our schools?
16987When will the good public cease to insult the teacher''s calling with empty flattery?
16987Where shall we introduce_ The Tale of Two Cities_?
16987Who are the men toward whom the youth of your land are led to look for inspiration?
16987Who are the men whom your boys are led to imitate and emulate and admire?"
16987Why not let a little of it go out to the teacher of this child?
16987Why not plan a little for her comfort and welfare and encouragement?
16987Why not tell these young people the truth and let them be prepared for the fate that must come sooner or later?
16987Why revamp and refurbish the old platitudes and dole them out each succeeding year?
16987Why should they fail to be depressed?
16987Why, he asks, should we create an illusion that must thus be rudely dispelled?
16987Why?
16987Will it be in the second year, or the third, or the fourth?
16987Would it not be possible so to frame examination questions that the"cramming"process would be practically valueless?
16987he cried;"what are they?
16987~III~ HOW MAY WE PROMOTE THE EFFICIENCY OF THE TEACHING FORCE?
31067Do you still wish me to whip you?
31067If I can buy 6 marbles with 1 penny, how many marbles can I buy with 5 pennies? 31067 Where are your skates, Charlie?"
31067Where is your fishing- line and your ball?
31067Where is your sled?
31067You think, then, Professor, that the boy has decided indications of musical talent?
31067A primary teacher asks her class this question:"If I can buy 6 marbles with 1 penny, how many marbles can I buy with 5 pennies?"

31067How is the teacher to know whether you are talking about the lesson, or about the last cricket- match?

31067Of what use were parents or teachers, in instructing a child which required proof for every statement that father, mother, or teacher gives?

22251Now, does the sun, in going round the earth, pass over the Rocky Mountains, or over us, first?
22251Quarter round?
22251Right,said the master,"but would not the boys know this, and so all agree to let the little chestnuts stay, and not eat them while they were small?"

22251Was it real robbery?
22251Was that of the nature of stealing or robbery?
22251Was there any thing on it?
22251Well, now, what do you think I ought to do next?

22251Why sir?
22251Why, do n''t you remember that you got me a new baize?
22251Why, sir?
22251Why? 22251 Will the sun go towards, or from, the Rocky Mountains, after leaving us?"
22251Would that be about right?
22251Yes; and the fourth?
22251''Miss A.,''said a teacher,''how many kinds of magnitude are there?''
22251*****"Is it not right to allow prejudice, to have influence over our minds as far as this?
22251A child comes to you, for example, and says,"Will you tell me, sir, where the next lesson is?"
22251A fourth began,''Are you acquainted with that new scholar?''
22251After he had finished his narrative, he said,"Now should you like to know who this boy was?"
22251After speaking of several individuals, who were among their former acquaintances, one asked,''Do you remember Miss W.?''
22251Am I right in my supposition?"
22251And why?
22251Another teacher looks calmly at the scene, and says to himself,"What shall I do to remove effectually these evils?

22251Are you willing to adopt this plan?"
22251Are you willing to do it?"
22251But at any rate, it showed my good wishes for him,--it showed that I was his friend, and what return do you think he made me for it?
22251But do you suppose that it will be enough for you merely to resolve here, that you will reform?"
22251But how shall he secure greater pains?
22251But that is not the greatest difficulty; can any of you think of any other?"
22251But to proceed:"When the sun is exactly opposite to us, in the south, at the highest point to which he rises, what o''clock is it?"
22251But what are you making this formidable club for?"
22251By stern commands and threats?
22251Can any of you think what they are?
22251Can any one tell what it is?"
22251Can not we have another place?"
22251Can you do it as well as not?''
22251Can you tell me of any other fruits which are preserved in this way?"
22251Cases of deliberate, intentional wrong will occur, and the question will rise, what is the duty of the teacher in such an emergency?
22251Did I ask for pencils?"
22251Did it?"

22251Do you remember my speaking on this subject, in school the other day?"
22251Do you think it does depend upon that?"
22251Do you think it would be possible for us to have as good an exercise every day?"

22251Do you understand how I mean?"
22251Do you understand so far?"
22251Do you, or not, experience these inconveniences from our present plans?"
22251Do you?"
22251Does he notice a child''s ringing a door bell in play?
22251Eight times six?--Eight_ and_ six?

22251I never thought of any thing but giving him trouble and pain.--I wonder who told him I could make whistles?"
22251If so, how extensively?"
22251If so, the step is too long, and may be subdivided thus:"When it is noon here, is the sun going towards the Mississippi, or has he passed it?"

22251Is any body aggrieved or injured?
22251Is it considered so now?"
22251Is that what I ought to do?"
22251Is there a question before the community, on the subject of the location of a new school- house?
22251Is there any other harm?"
22251Is there discontent in the school?
22251It will be dreadfully dark by and by, wo n''t it?
22251James have you a Bible in your desk?"
22251Must every thing in education go on in a uniform and monotonous manner; and while all else is advancing, shall our cause alone stand still?
22251Nine times seven?--Nine_ and_ seven?"
22251Now am I not compelled to conclude that this latter is the case?"
22251Now should you rather have me talk with you or not?"
22251Now suppose a stranger should come in, and seeing them all busy, should say to me,"''What are all these boys doing?''
22251Now the point which I wish to bring before you is this; do you know in what order, I mean on what principles, the books are arranged?"
22251Now what can the gardener do?
22251Now what is the duty of the teacher in such a case?
22251Now, how long does it take the sun to pass round the earth?"
22251Shall the government of school be a_ monarchy_ or a_ republic_?
22251Shall the practice of prompting in the classes be any longer continued?
22251Should you like to adopt the plan?"
22251Should you not suppose it would?"
22251Suppose then the Rocky Mountains were half round the globe, how long would it take the sun to go to them?"
22251The question is asked a thousand times,"How shall I ever learn to keep my resolutions?"
22251The reader will perhaps ask, shall we make no efforts at improvement?
22251The teacher may, perhaps, say to those in their seats,"Do you not know any thing of this subject?
22251The teacher then makes a memorandum of this, and then inquires;"And what lesson came after this?"
22251Unit figure?"
22251Vernon School?
22251Was a building burnt by lightning in the neighborhood?
22251Was n''t it a bear?
22251What are you making, Joseph?"
22251What could the teacher mean?
22251What is it her duty to do?"
22251What shall this contain?"
22251What should you say to such a company as that?"
22251What useful practice has not its dangers?
22251What were you doing?"
22251What would, in ordinary cases, be the effect?
22251Which do you think you should rather do?"
22251Which now do you think is the worst?"
22251Which of these teachers understood human nature best?
22251Which way are they from us?"
22251Who could it be?
22251Who ever heard of such a thing?
22251Whose sled was it that Richard took away?"
22251Why did n''t you know bears were stronger than men?
22251Why, is there any peculiar depravity in them which you could not have foreseen?"
22251Will you all think, and answer together?
22251Will you see whether it is longer than any that come after it?"
22251Will you try the moral one?
22251Will you try the physical one?
22251Would it be just?"
22251Would it be the same with the other?"
22251You do not want her to be punished; do you?"
22251You will ask,"Can not we obtain permission of you or of the teachers to leave our seats or to whisper, if it is necessary?"
22251You will then say, are we never on any occasion whatever to leave our seats in study hours?
22251_ Charles._ Have we?
22251_ Emily._ But if we ca n''t find our way back, what shall we do?
22251_ Emily._ O Charles, do you believe we shall ever find the way out of this dreadful long wood?
22251_ Emily._ Where do you think they are?
22251_ Miss X._ How do you like the looks of Miss A., who entered school to- day?
22251_ Miss X._ She does not strike me very pleasantly; did you ever see such a face?
22251_ Miss Y._ I wonder if she has a taste for Arithmetic?
22251_ Never_, do I say?
22251_ T._"Hundreds?"
22251_ Teacher._"Can any one of the boys inform me what was the first lesson that the former master used to hear in the morning?"
22251_ Teacher._"Did he hear_ any_ recitation immediately after school began?"
22251_ Teacher._"How long was it before he began to hear lessons?"
22251_ Teacher._"Tens?"
22251_ Teacher._''Will you try to speak a little louder, Miss A.?''
22251did n''t you hear that dreadful noise just now?
22251five, six,& c.''Should you call that reciting well?"
22251she continued,"what shall I do?
12291''But why not? 12291 ''Do you see that boy in the back seat?
12291''I see,''the stranger might say by this time,''that there is a great difference among these boys; have you told me about them all?'' 12291 ''What are they writing?''
12291''Why?'' 12291 And what is one third of forty- five?"
12291And what were you doing with it?
12291Are there any other scholars in the school who think it would be well for them to join this class?
12291Are you willing to pledge yourselves to adopt it?
12291Boys,said he,"do you know what this is?"
12291But I can not tell you his name; for what return do you think he made to me? 12291 But what is this rough, prickly covering for?"
12291But why,asked one of the boys,"do not apples grow so?"
12291Can any body answer that question?
12291Can any one propose a plan which will remedy the difficulty?
12291Can it be noon here and at a place ten miles west of us at the same time?
12291Can it be noon, then,continues the teacher,"here and at a place fifteen degrees west of us at the same time?"
12291Can you name any of them?
12291Can you say the Multiplication Table?
12291Did you all recite together?
12291Did you hear that noise?
12291Do n''t you know any thing about it?
12291Do you know what books are between the Acts and the book of Revelation?
12291Do you know what it is for?
12291Do you know what it is?
12291Do you mean that you will be honest, or that you would like to have a committee appointed?
12291Do you mean you would like to have the inquiry made?
12291Do you prefer sitting together, or are you willing to have me separate you?
12291Do you see now, boys, what I mean to teach you by this long supposition?
12291Do you stand easily in that position?
12291Do you suppose that you will perfectly keep this rule from this time?
12291Do you think it would be a good plan,I inquired,"to have it a common amusement in the recess for the girls to hunt each other among the desks?"
12291Do you think of any other common motive of action besides love of money and friendship?
12291Do you think that these written excuses are, after all, a fair test of the real reasons for tardiness? 12291 Does any body here know?"
12291Does he get opposite to the Rocky Mountains before or after he is opposite to us?
12291Does he go toward the west or toward the east from us?
12291Does this fault,he would say to himself,"prevail among my pupils?
12291Eight times six? 12291 George, what did you have in your hand?"
12291Have I ever treated any boy or girl in this school unjustly or unkindly?
12291Have these boys done right or wrong?
12291How can I tell?
12291How did you like the discourse?
12291How large a part of that, then, will he pass in one hour?
12291How long did you say it takes the sun to go round the globe and come to us again?
12291How long does it take the meat to grow?
12291How long to go half round?
12291How long will it take him to go to the Rocky Mountains?
12291How many degrees will the sun pass over in three hours?
12291How many desks do you think will be found to be disorderly when we come to make the examination?
12291How many motives have I got now? 12291 How many of you think you need better accommodations?"
12291How many of you think, and are willing to avow your opinion, that I have_ not_ been fully informed of the case?
12291How many plead guilty to it?
12291How many,I then asked,"have ever been put to the trouble to go to the door when the bell has thus been rung?
12291How may we overcome prejudice? 12291 How much is four times five?
12291How much is seven times nine? 12291 How much of the chestnut is good to eat, William?"
12291In going quarter round?
12291Is he ever exactly south of us?
12291Is it not right to allow prejudice to have influence over our minds as far as this? 12291 Is it twelve o''clock here, then, before or after it is twelve o''clock there?"
12291Is not this the fact?
12291Lucy,said the master to a bright- eyed little girl near him,"what is this?"
12291May I speak to one of the class to ask about it?
12291More than once?
12291More than twice?
12291Mr. Abbott, will you have the goodness to explain to us what is meant by the Veto Message?
12291Mr. B., is this right?
12291Nine times seven? 12291 Now does the sun, in going round the earth, pass over the Rocky Mountains, or over us, first?"
12291Now what do you think I ought to do with such a boy?
12291Now, boys,continued the master,"will you assist me in making arrangements to prevent the recurrence of all temptations of this kind hereafter?
12291Quarter round?
12291Right,said the master;"but would not the boys know this, and so all agree to let the little chestnuts stay, and not eat them while they were small?"
12291Roger,said the master( for this boy''s name was Roger),"can you get me a chestnut burr?"
12291Should you not think it would take a minute apiece?
12291Should you think_ that_ is more or less than an inch?
12291Sir,we might say to him,"what is the matter?"
12291Suppose a thief were to go into a man''s store in the daytime, and take away something secretly, would it be stealing or robbery?
12291Suppose he should meet him in the road, and take it away by force?
12291Suppose it was his own hat, would he have been right? 12291 Suppose the River Mississippi is fifteen degrees from us, how long is it twelve o''clock here before it is twelve o''clock there?"
12291Suppose they were quarter round?
12291Suppose, now, I were to make one more experiment, and let you try to be good boys in your present seat, would you really try?
12291Suppose, then, it takes the sun one hour to go from us to the River Mississippi, how many degrees west of us would the river be?
12291The fifth?
12291The next?
12291The next?
12291The next?
12291The next?
12291The second?
12291The third?
12291Then has noon gone by at that river, or has it not yet come?
12291Then why should any boy or girl wish to give me trouble or pain?
12291Then will it be eleven or one?
12291Then will it be one hour before or one hour after noon?
12291Then,asked they,"did we do wrong?"
12291There are two classes, then?
12291This is not expressed very well; the phrases''_ to Jericho?_''and''_ dreadful ugly_''are vulgar, and not in good taste. 12291 Was it real robbery?"
12291Was that of the nature of stealing or robbery? 12291 Was there any thing on it?"
12291Well, Mr. B.,she continued,"what shall I do?
12291Well, now, what do you think I ought to do next?
12291Well, what harm would there be in that? 12291 Well, what would that motive be?"
12291Were it not for their misconduct? 12291 Were you not in the class at the time?"
12291What comes next?
12291What comes next?
12291What did he do at this time?
12291What do you suppose a prophet is?
12291What harm does it do?
12291What is the first book of the New Testament?
12291What is this?
12291What shall I do?
12291What shall I do?
12291What was the other?
12291What?
12291When he is opposite to the Rocky Mountains, what o''clock is it there?
12291When it is twelve o''clock here, then, what time will it be there?
12291When the sun is exactly opposite to us, can he be opposite to the Rocky Mountains?
12291When will vacation commence?
12291Which way,asks the teacher,"are the Rocky Mountains from us?"
12291Why is it that so many of our countrymen_ are_, or seem to be, prejudiced against the unfortunate children of Africa? 12291 Why not?
12291Why not? 12291 Why, do n''t you remember that you got me a new baize?"
12291Why, sir?
12291Why, sir?
12291Will the sun go toward or from the Rocky Mountains after leaving us?
12291Will you turn to 1 Samuel, xvi., 7, and then rise and read it? 12291 Would_ that_ be about right?"
12291Yes; and the fourth?
12291_ Miss Y._ I wonder if she has a taste for Arithmetic? 12291 ''Do you see that boy?'' 12291 ''Miss A.,''said a teacher,''how many kinds of magnitude are there?'' 12291 ''What are they thinking of?'' 12291 ''What is the next boy to him thinking of?'' 12291 A child comes to you, for example, and says,Will you tell me, sir, where the next lesson is?"
12291A fourth began,''Are you acquainted with that new scholar?''
12291After he had finished his narrative, he said,"Now should you like to know who this boy was?"
12291After speaking of several individuals who were among their former acquaintances, one asked,''Do you remember Miss W.?
12291Also, do you think it is right to tell untruths to very little children, as many persons do, or to people who are sick?
12291Also, whether it would be right to tell a falsehood to an insane man in order to manage him?"
12291Am I right in my supposition?"
12291And why?
12291Another teacher looks calmly at the scene, and says to himself,"What shall I do to remove effectually these evils?
12291Are you both willing to leave it just where it is till to- morrow, and try to forget all about it till then?
12291Are you not satisfied that it is?"
12291Are you willing to adopt this plan?"
12291Are you willing to do it?"
12291But do you suppose that it will be enough for you merely to resolve here that you will reform?"
12291But how shall he secure greater pains?
12291But if we ca n''t find our way back, what shall we do?
12291But that is not the greatest difficulty; can any of you think of any other?"
12291But to proceed:"When the sun is exactly opposite to us, in the south, at the highest point to which he rises, what o''clock is it?"
12291But what are you making this formidable club for?"
12291But, at any rate, it showed my good wishes for him; it showed that I was his friend; and what return do you think he made me for it?
12291By stern commands and threats?
12291Can any of you think what they are?
12291Can any one of the boys inform me what was the first lesson that the former master used to hear in the morning?
12291Can any one tell me what it is?"
12291Can not we have another place?"
12291Can you do it for me?''
12291Can you tell me of any other fruits which are preserved in this way?"
12291Cases of deliberate, intentional wrong will occur, and the question will rise, What is the duty of the teacher in such an emergency?
12291Charles, did n''t you hear that dreadful noise just now?
12291Did I ask for pencils?"
12291Did he hear_ any_ recitation immediately after school began?
12291Did it?"
12291Did you ever see such a face?
12291Do any of you think of any plan?"
12291Do you know what is the last book of the New Testament?"
12291Do you know who wrote the letters?"
12291Do you like this plan?"
12291Do you not think it would be so?"
12291Do you not think so yourselves?"
12291Do you not think you will find this the best course?"
12291Do you now understand the principle of the arrangement of the epistles?"
12291Do you remember my speaking on this subject in school the other day?"
12291Do you suppose it would be safe to leave the decision of important questions to the scholars in this school?"
12291Do you think I shall succeed?"
12291Do you think it does depend upon that?"
12291Do you think it would be possible for us to have as good an exercise every day?"
12291Do you think that the girls who rang the bell might have known this by proper reflection?"
12291Do you think they would be safe?"
12291Do you think this was wrong or not?"
12291Do you think you can remember?"
12291Do you understand how I mean?"
12291Do you understand so far?"
12291Do you, or not, experience these inconveniences from our present plans?"
12291Do you?"
12291Does He notice a child''s ringing a door- bell in play?
12291Eight_ and_ six?
12291For example, suppose I should say to a fifth boy,''Will you copy this piece of poetry?
12291Four_ and_ five?
12291Had he discovered the trick?
12291Has a boy a right to do what he pleases with his own hat?"
12291Has any one any plan to propose?"
12291Have I ever had to speak to you before for playing together in school?"
12291Have I_ done_ well?
12291Have we?
12291Have you any objection to the indictment?"
12291Have you any particular preference for that seat?"
12291Have you neither seen nor heard of alabaster, and had no means of ascertaining any thing in regard to it?
12291Have you not observed it?"
12291Her mother was always moved by her tears, and would not her aunt relent?
12291How do they all read?
12291How do they all write?
12291How do they calculate?
12291How long was it before he began to hear lessons?
12291How many are in favor of having shorter lessons, and having them read but once?
12291How many are in favor of requesting William Jones to perform this duty?"
12291How many find this the case with their work?"
12291How many had I made?"
12291How many plead guilty to this?"
12291How many prefer longer lessons, and having them read twice?"
12291How many suppose so?"
12291How many will the sun pass in going half round?"
12291How shall I write it?
12291I can not say any thing about_ civil_ in it, can I?"
12291I wonder who told him I could make whistles?"
12291If so, how extensively?
12291If so, the step is too long, and may be subdivided thus:"When it is noon here, is the sun going toward the Mississippi, or has he passed it?"
12291If you now sincerely determine never more to use a profane word, will you not easily avoid it?"
12291In concluding what he said, he addressed the boys as follows:"Now, boys, the question is, do you wish to abandon this habit or not?
12291In one hour, then, how many degrees will the sun pass over?"
12291In other words, What are the punishments which are resorted to in the Mount Vernon School?
12291In parsing nouns, what is the first particular to be named?"
12291Is any body aggrieved or injured?
12291Is it considered so now?"
12291Is it not, boys?"
12291Is that what I ought to do?"
12291Is the erection of a public building going forward in the neighborhood of your school?
12291Is there a question before the community on the subject of the location of a new school- house?
12291Is there any other harm?"
12291Is there discontent in the school?
12291It is useless to resist, thought she; indeed, why should I wish to?
12291It will be dreadfully dark by- and- by, wo n''t it?
12291James, have you a Bible in your desk?"
12291Must every thing in education go on in a uniform and monotonous manner, and, while all else is advancing, shall our cause alone stand still?
12291Nine_ and_ seven?"
12291Now I did not tell you to make the margins_ exactly_ an inch and half an inch, but only as near as you could judge?"
12291Now I wish to know, at the outset, whether you do or do not wish to help me?"
12291Now am I not compelled to conclude that this latter is the case?"
12291Now have you never noticed any objection to it?"
12291Now how long does it take the sun to pass round the earth?"
12291Now suppose a stranger should come in, and, seeing them all busy, should say to me,"''What are all these boys doing?''
12291Now the point which I wish to bring before you is this; do you know in what order, I mean on what principles, the books are arranged?"
12291Now what can the gardener do?
12291Now what is the duty of the teacher in such a case?
12291Now will you look into your desks, and tell me whether they are, on these three principles, well arranged?"
12291Now, should you rather have me talk with you or not?"
12291Oh, Charles, do you believe we shall ever find the way out of this dreadful long wood?
12291On the walk the teacher thus accosted the criminal:"Do you like frank, open dealing, James?"
12291Seven_ and_ nine?
12291Shall the practice of prompting in the classes be any longer continued?
12291Should you like to adopt the plan?"
12291Should you not suppose it would?"
12291Suppose, hereafter, when you are about to take a journey, you reach the pier five minutes after the steamer has gone, what good will excuses do you?
12291Suppose, then, the Rocky Mountains were half round the globe, how long would it take the sun to go to them?"
12291The question is asked a thousand times,"How shall I ever learn to keep my resolutions?"
12291The reader will perhaps ask, Shall we make no efforts at improvement?
12291The teacher makes a memorandum of this, and then inquires,"And what lesson came after this?"
12291The teacher may perhaps say to those in their seats,"Do you not know any thing of this subject?
12291Unit figure?"
12291Was a building burned by lightning in the neighborhood?
12291Was n''t it a bear?
12291What are you making, Joseph?"
12291What could the teacher mean?
12291What is it her duty to do?"
12291What is your objection to her?''
12291What should you say to such a company as that?"
12291What useful practice has not its dangers?
12291What were you doing?"
12291What would, in ordinary cases, be the effect?
12291Where do you think they are?
12291Which do you think you should rather do?"
12291Which of these teachers understood human nature best?
12291Which way are they from us?"
12291Which, now, do you think is the worst?"
12291Who could it be?
12291Who would have conceived of it?
12291Whose sled was it that Richard took away?"
12291Why did not these reasons prevent your doing it?"
12291Why, did n''t you know bears were stronger than men?
12291Why, is there any peculiar depravity in them which you could not have foreseen?"
12291Will you all now look into your desks, and see whether you consider them in good order?
12291Will you all think and answer together?
12291Will you see whether it is longer than any that come after it?
12291Will you try the moral one?
12291Will you try the physical one?
12291Would it be just?"
12291Would it be the same with the other?"
12291Would it not be as well to have the chestnuts early in the summer as to have them in the fall?"
12291You do not want her to be punished, do you?"
12291You will ask,"Can not we obtain permission of you or of the teachers to leave our seats or to whisper if it is necessary?"
12291You will then say,"Are we never, on any occasion whatever, to leave our seats in study hours?"
12291_ Never_, do I say?
12291_ Now is there any rule in this school against selfishness?"
12291_ T._"Hundreds?"
12291_ Teacher._"Tens?"
12291_ Teacher._''Will you try to speak a little louder, Miss A.?"
12291and, if so, what was he going to do?
12291five, six,''& c. Should you call that reciting well?"
12291should always be the question, not, Have I managed to_ appear_ well?
12291you and Joseph are particular friends, then, I suppose?"
17588= Environment.=--In what measure is a man the product of his environment?
17588= Machinery.=--She must challenge every piece of machinery that meets her gaze with the question"Whence camest thou?"
17588= Story of a boy.=--A seven- year- old boy who was lying on his back on the floor asked his father the question,"How long since the world was born?"
17588And while their eyes are weeping their hearts are saying:"Wha will be a traitor knave?
17588Are such affairs as are described in the beginning of the chapter peculiar to democracies?
17588Are the pupils( and perhaps the teacher) likely to overestimate what is done in the socialized recitation?
17588As corroborating evidence or as a final proof of competence?
17588By what means may public schools assist in the transformation of illiterate foreigners into"intelligent American citizens"?
17588Can a teacher lead pupils to regard work as a privilege rather than as a task, unless she has that attitude herself?
17588Can enthusiasm result if there is a lack of joy in one''s work?

6109Does the same hold for the young student?
6109Even though the above discussions reveal the main factors in the study of adults, what light does it throw upon the work of children?
6109Failing, however, he impatiently asked,"Why did n''t you tell about so and so"?
6109For example: How large should the tile be made?
6109Granted that there are numerous very important factors in study, what should be done about them?
6109Has the young student any proper basis for carrying that responsibility?
6109Have we, then, put off corruption and become perfect?
6109Have you found any of these statements questionable?
6109Have you heard the story about the Bishop of Bingen in his Mouse- Tower on the Rhine River?
6109He should form the habit of often asking himself,"What is my point?"
6109How about the methods of study among teachers themselves?
6109How about the texts used in the elementary school?
6109How can any one find time for the exercise of so much wisdom?
6109How can such confidence be cultivated?
6109How can these plants be raised?
6109How can they be protected against burning?
6109How do people about us often resemble the elder son?
6109How do the fruits raised there compare with those further east in quality and appearance?
6109How do these statements remind you of others that you already know?
6109How does this differ from a spelling list, so far as equality of values is concerned?
6109How does this one compare in beauty with"Rock- a- bye- baby"?
6109How far, then, should the supplementing be carried?
6109How get them out without burning one''s self?
6109How is farming differently conducted there?
6109How is the United States Government reclaiming the arid lands, and in what sections?
6109How is the situation changed?
6109How make sure of the dimensions?
6109How much time is necessary for the baking?
6109How must the clay be worked into the desired shape?
6109How tell when they are done?
6109How was the establishment of a firm Union made especially difficult by the want of certain modern inventions?
6109How would the older son have had the father act?
6109How would we plan to dramatize this poem?
6109How, then, can habits become best established?
6109How, then, has she escaped a close acquaintance with the principal factors in study?
6109How, then, is he to know what are the important details and what are the unimportant?
6109How, then, should the customary recitation be modified?
6109How, then, was I in a position to do anything more than to follow your exact directions?"
6109How?
6109How?
6109I asked the class,"What is the color of the Indians?"
6109I once asked a fifth- year class in history,"Who discovered America?"
6109If so, how?
6109If so, what is their nature?
6109If so, why?
6109If, however, children can study, to what extent can they do it, and at how early an age should they begin to try?
6109If, then, the student has not found out what the leading ideas are, what basis of selection has he?
6109Imagining that some one has just crossed a desert, what dangers do you think he has encountered, and how may he have escaped from them?
6109In particular, how prominent in study should be the effort to memorize?
6109In response to the next question,"In what direction does each[ highland] extend?"
6109In that case, which is of the former kind, and which is of the latter?
6109In the East?
6109In the East?"
6109In the case of any person whose judgment is really deserving of confidence, how has it become so?
6109In what direction does each extend?
6109In what respects, if any, is the West more promising than the East to a young man starting in life?
6109In which direction do educational institutions, in particular, exert their influence?
6109In which direction does human nature most tend?
6109Indeed, they knew that they could not think, so what was the use of wasting more than two minutes for the sake of appearances?
6109Instead of either condemning or accepting authors, is it his duty merely to understand and remember what they say?
6109Is all our knowledge more or less doubtful, so that we should hold ourselves ready to modify our ideas at any time?
6109Is he then through with a topic, or is more work to be done?
6109Is it best to allow them to lie long in water?
6109Is it desirable to have sunshine all the time?
6109Is it even highly unsafe for the latter to assume the responsibility of judging relative values?
6109Is it necessary to take them out and strike them with the palm of the hand, breaking them slightly?
6109Is not the curriculum already full enough, indeed full to completion?
6109Is not this, on account of the immaturity of children, necessarily so written as to make such supplementing unnecessary?
6109Is one then through with it?
6109Is such a contrast justified?
6109Is that an entirely passive attitude?
6109Is that desirable?
6109Is that true, however, of literature for children?
6109Is the father shown to be at fault in any respect in the training of his sons?
6109Is the weather particularly enjoyable there, or not?
6109Is their study to contain these factors also?
6109Is there a cradle of some sort?
6109Is there a similarly definite end to be reached in the study process?
6109Is there any proof that these were especially attractive children?
6109Is there any tenderness indicated on the part of the mother?
6109Is this standard met when the child understands and can reproduce in substance the definition of desert?
6109Is this story told as a warning or as a comfort?
6109Must we, then, pass upon everything; and is no person to be fully trusted?
6109Now, how much, if anything, must he add to what is directly presented to him by others?
6109Numerous other questions were considered, as follows:-- What is the best way to clean them?
6109Of a level surface?
6109Of square corners?
6109Oh sir, she smiled, no doubt, Whene''er I passed her; but who passed without Much the same smile?
6109Once more I said,"Four hundred and thirteen years since what?"
6109One day I asked them,"When has a book been read properly?"
6109One girl soon inquired,"Do you think that she would like to know how I am training my bird to sing?"
6109One might ask,"Are not all the statements in a valuable book that one happens to be reading worthy of careful consideration?"
6109One of the common questions in the combination of forms and colors, even in the kindergarten, is,"How do you like that?"
6109Or at least would such attempts seem to be normal for them?
6109Or by constructive work?
6109Or by paintings?
6109Or can it be that there are two kinds of knowledge?
6109Or could the children help much to bring it about?
6109Or did it happen only once?
6109Or do all facts have much the same value, so that they should receive about equal attention, as is the case with the multiplication tables?
6109Or do you always''go on''and''keep going on''?"
6109Or does he become subordinated to these, even submerged by them?
6109Or has the study then hardly begun?
6109Or is knowledge something apart from the active world, ending rather in self?
6109Or is that particularly what recitations and marks are for?
6109Or shall he assume a view- point of his own?
6109Or shall he avoid doing either, preserving an inactive mind?
6109Or shall he do neither?
6109Or shall he take all statements literally?
6109Or should extensive instruction be imparted to them, as well as to adults, on this subject?
6109Or should he learn to depreciate himself, to deplore those qualities that distinguish him from others?
6109Or the most beautiful?
6109Or was it rather an unpleasant time for him?
6109Or were other men equally or more prominent?
6109Or will it vary?
6109Or would such a critical attitude on his part toward a high authority be impertinent?
6109Or would such uncertainty too easily undermine his self- confidence and render him vacillating in action?
6109Or would that be the height of presumption on his part?
6109Or would that be too narrow, indeed, exactly the wrong way?
6109Or, do authors-- at least the greatest of them-- say most, or all, that they wish, and make their meaning plain?
6109Or, finally, is neither of these attitudes correct?
6109Or, if guests are not prompt, is there any way of keeping them in good condition?
6109Selection and reorganization of the profitable portion of these materials._"What am I getting from this author?"
6109Shall he assume the position of a mere receiver and collector?
6109Shall the student of either of these periods adopt the views of the author that he happens to be reading?
6109Shall the student recognize exaggeration as such?
6109Shall we, then, even while making these eliminations, make additions that may more than equal them?
6109Should anything be done with them while baking?
6109Should he learn even to ascribe whatever merit he may possess to the qualities that are peculiar to him?
6109Should he rather be a collector of facts at large, endeavoring to develop an interest in whatever is true, simply because it is true?
6109Should he smother his own desires and opinions in the attempt to satisfy his teacher?
6109Should memorizing constitute the main part of study-- as it so often does-- or only a minor part?
6109Should the oven be very hot, or is a slow heat preferable?
6109Should the statements that he receives be put into order by him?
6109Should the student, therefore, be taught to believe in and trust himself, holding his own powers and tendencies in high esteem?
6109Should the use of ideas be their goal?
6109Should they be prominent, or only a minor part of study?
6109Should they be served immediately?
6109Since one cookbook says that we want"dry and mealy"potatoes and another states that they should be"moist and sweet,"which is right?
6109Still not being satisfied, I went to a hardware store and asked,"Have you a man who can solder a thin metal plate over a small hole in a lead pipe?
6109That becomes very important as they mature; for how otherwise will they learn to study alone?
6109That is the reason that they so often inquire,"What is the use of it?"
6109That some facts are true for all time, and can be learned as absolutely true; and that others are only probabilities and must be treated as such?
6109The boy who was called upon for the third question,"Which is the broader and higher?"
6109The crucial question in this connection, therefore, is not,"Can children memorize?"
6109The fact that many fathers would be bored by such an hour suggests the query,"Did this father really enjoy it?"
6109The fact that the custom is so uncommon raises the further inquiry,"Was there any special merit among these children that led to it?"
6109The fact that we know this to be a very rare thing prompts the questions,"Was it customary in this family, or did it happen only once?"
6109The first of these two questions, therefore, is, Can children from six to fourteen years of age really be expected to study?
6109The great question of method, then, becomes, How shall one learn?
6109The important question now is, Is this, in general, the way in which the ordinary student should work?
6109The questions now arise, Are other kinds of supplementing also generally necessary?
6109The spirit of the teacher''s usual general question should be, How have you associated or related these facts?
6109These two questions, however, Can children study?
6109This can be further seen from the following topics in Biology: What household plants are most desirable?
6109To this end one should avoid putting mainly memory questions, such as, Who was it--?
6109To what extent must he be a producer in that sense?
6109To what extent shall this apply to children?
6109To what extent should other branches of knowledge resemble the useful arts in their combination of knowledge with the use of knowledge?
6109Under these circumstances, could it be expected that these children, in their teacher''s absence, would exhibit these same qualities?
6109Was it in place to argue much about such a matter?
6109Was n''t he probably right?
6109Was there ever a more vain, heartless, haughty, selfish, bartering gentleman- wretch?
6109Was this the custom each day?
6109What about noises of various kinds?
6109What about the advisability of baking them with butter, sugar, and salt?
6109What about the effect of strong winds on the sand?
6109What advice should have been given?

6109What are the most important ideas here?
6109What are their principal enemies, and how can these best be overcome?
6109What attitude shall the adult student assume toward such contradictory and faulty statements?
6109What better proof is needed of common laxness of attention?
6109What changes does the heat effect in the potato?
6109What classes of invalids resort to the West, and to what parts?
6109What dangers might cause uneasiness?
6109What duty has the less mature student in regard to organization?
6109What great highland do you find in the West?
6109What great highland do you find in the West?
6109What have you to say, Eddie?"
6109What indication of the father''s character is given in the fact that he saw his son while yet"a great way off"?
6109What is said about--?
6109What is the right use?
6109What is this minimum limit?
6109What is to be done with all these?
6109What kind of home must that be?
6109What kind of surface must it have?
6109What literature or history is there for children that omits the passing of moral judgments?
6109What lullabies of our childhood does this recall?
6109What marked contrast is there between the two, in the latter part?
6109What more remained to be done?
6109What pictures of his former life does he call to mind when starving?
6109What plants that are common here are not found there?
6109What pleasure might a sportsman expect there?
6109What recognition is there of varying values of facts in such teaching?
6109What sections would be of most interest to the sight- seer?
6109What should be its shape?
6109What should be the attitude of the young student toward the authorities that he studies?
6109What statements here need filling out, and how have you done it?
6109What success, then, can come to children when they are sent off to study their lessons in private?
6109What suggestions, if any, can be made about the retaining of facts?
6109What test has the ordinary student for knowing when he knows a thing well enough to leave it?
6109What various thoughts probably induced the young man to leave home?
6109What were his thoughts and actions as he approached his father; those also of his father?
6109What were the routes of travel, by land, to the Indies?
6109What would be some of the pleasures of a walk in the desert?
6109What, then, are the best, and why?
6109What, then, is the proper attitude for the reader?
6109When was it--?
6109When you come to a good book, you must ask yourself,''Am I inclined to work as an Australian miner would?
6109Where did the Turks live; and what reasons had they for preventing this trade?
6109Where is the lowest land between these two highlands?
6109Which are they?
6109Which is least pleasing?
6109Which is perhaps the most interesting scene?
6109Which is the best part of the last three stanzas, in which he tells how much he loves them?
6109Which is the broader and higher?
6109Which is the most beautiful part?
6109Which of the two is the better?
6109While they are an essential part of knowledge, do they themselves vary indefinitely in worth?
6109Who is to pass judgment upon their quality?
6109Who will assert that such lack of initiative is natural?
6109Who''d stoop to blame This sort of trifling?
6109Why are there not more?
6109Why could not the first Portuguese captain sail directly to the southern end of Africa?
6109Why did he hesitate about returning?
6109Why is it necessary to emphasize this matter so much, particularly with reference to young people?
6109Why not, if there is anything in habit?
6109Why should not the text- book in history and geography lie open in class, just as that in literature, if_ thinking_ is the principal object?
6109Why should she, if she has never been conscious of any particular weakness in that respect?
6109Why should they?
6109Why was it--?
6109Why, then, should he receive anything?"
6109Why, then, should they be taught to look past this period, to their distant future as the harvest time for their knowledge and powers?
6109Why?
6109Will''t please you rise?
6109Will''t please you sit and look at her?
6109Would it be narrowly utilitarian and even foolish to expect that one''s learning shall necessarily function in practical life?
6109Would not a class in a normal school or a college show greater capacity for leadership?
6109Yet even these may be only ideas; what means has he for knowing when they have been attained?
6109Yet is this true?
6109Yet no one asked any one else"Why?"
6109Yet what better state can be conceived?
6109Yet, should his method be the same?
6109_ Do children need the help of specific aims?_ The first question to consider is, Do children seriously need the help of such aims?
6109_ Do children need the help of specific aims?_ The first question to consider is, Do children seriously need the help of such aims?
6109_ Is the spirit of induction here opposed?_ It is pertinent to ask whether this method of study does not oppose the spirit of induction.
6109_ Reasons for such prominence._ If the work of memorizing is so uninteresting and even injurious, why is it made so prominent?
6109_ Relation of the critical attitude to sympathy and respect._ What is the relation of this critical attitude to sympathy for an author?
6109_ The proper attitude toward knowledge._ What, then, is the proper attitude toward knowledge?
6109_( 3) Reasons for such neglect._ Why, then, did they so neglect their past?
6109also,"What facts have I offered for its support, and have I massed them all as I should?"
6109and If so, how can they be taught to do it?
6109but rather,"Are they capable of more than mechanical memorizing, or learning by rote?
6109or"What profit is this material bringing me?"
