About this title

Synopsis

This book by the author explores the philosophy behind developing primary education and provides a practical guide for teachers and parents to follow. The author argues that education should begin with actual inspection, not with verbal descriptions of things, and that children should be taught to observe, to do, and to tell. The author's system of mental development, based on the principles taught by John Amos Comenius and Pestalozzi, provides a natural, simple, and philosophical approach to early childhood education. The book contains a series of lessons in natural history, drawing, color, number, size, sound, the human body, and moral ideas, and includes outlines and programs for implementing these lessons into primary school instruction. The book's insights and practical advice will help teachers and parents alike to foster a lifelong love of learning in children.
