Record Of Mr. Alcott's School: Exemplifying The Principles And Methods Of Moral Culture by Elizabeth Palmer Peabody is a detailed archival study of a Boston school founded by Amos Bronson Alcott in the 1830s, focusing on moral, intellectual, and spiritual education for children under ten. The book compiles Preface material, journal entries, and sections such as Plans, Journal of the School, Self-Analysis, and a concluding Explanatory. It records Alcott's approach: a deliberately aesthetic, discipline-forward classroom where busts of Socrates, Shakespeare, Milton, and Scott adorn the room to cultivate imagination; the children learn through conversation, guided reading, careful attention, and self-government rather than punishment. The pedagogy emphasizes imagination, expression, and the inner life—employing parables, emblems, and allegory from Krummacher, Pilgrim’s Progress, Edgeworth, and Plato. The Journal documents day-by-day routines, spelling, reading, grammar, geography, Latin, and geometry; the Self-Analysis section shows how students examine conscience, faith, love, and aspiration. The work is both a historical account and a philosophical defense of a spiritual, self-directed educational philosophy.
