About this Item

9x6", 15pp. Self wrappers. On describing this pamphlet in the "American Journal of Education", Boston, vol III, 1828: "The.report is one of the most valuable documents connected with improvement in education that we have as yet had opportunity to communicate It regards the most important of all the stages of instruction and the most important of all our various classes of schools It reports an experiment made on schools hitherto well taught and deservedly perhaps considered as models of tuition in other places. There is besides a peculiar value in this report as containing the results of an extensive trial of the merits of the system of mutual instruction in numerous schools of young children and while a candid statement of every difficulty and disadvantage is given the experiment seems to indicate the monitorial method as on several accounts preferable for public schools of the primary order in which it is peculiarly desirable to combine all the benefits of economical expeditious and thorough instruction."
