Excerpt from Changes Needed in American Secondary Education
A survey of the programmes of the existing American secondary schools - public, private, and endowed - would show that as a rule they pay little attention to the training of the senses, and provide small opportunities for acquiring any skill of eye, ear, or hand, or any acquaintance with the accurate recording and cautious reason ing which modern science prescribes. To make, or read, a complete survey of these programmes would be a dull and heavy task; but the demonstration needed for the purpose of the present essay can be readily given by analyzing the programmes of a few typical schools and academies. Such an analysis of the programmes and regulations of twelve different schools and one group of kindred schools is given in the Appendix, the general result being that the secondary schools are giving not more than from one tenth to one sixth of their force to observational, sense-training subjects. Any school superintendent, teacher, or committeeman can verify the results of this analysis in any secondary schools with which he is acquainted.
