PA BOOK OF "WAYS" FOR TEACHERS...
Teaching is an art; there are " ways to do it." This book
is made to point out "ways," and to help by suggestions.
1. It gives " ways" for teaching Language, Grammar, Reading, Spelling, Geography, etc. These are in many cases
novel; they are designed to help attract the attention of the
pupil.
2. The " ways" given are not the questionable " ways so
often seen practiced in school-rooms, but are in accord with
the spirit of modern educational ideas.
3. This book will afford practical assistance to teachers who
wish to keep their work from degenerating into mere routine.
It gives them, in convenient form for constant use at the
desk, a multitude of new ways in which to present old truths.
The great enemy of the teacher is want of interest. Their
methods do not attract attention. There is no teaching
unless there is attention. The teacher is too apt to think
there is but one " way " of teaching spelling; he thus falls
into a rut. Now there are many " ways " of teaching spelling, and some " ways" are better than others. Variety must
exist in the school-room; the authors of this volume deserve
the thanks of the teachers for pointing out methods of obtaining variety without sacrificing the great end sought-scholarship. New "ways" induce greater effort, and renewal of
activity.
4. The book gives tLhe result of large actual experience in
the school-room, and will meet the needs of thousands of
teachers, by placing at their comm:and that for which visits
to other schools are made, institutes and associations
attended, viz., new ideas and fresh and forceful ways of
teaching. The devices given under Drawing and Physiology
are of an eminently practical nature, and cannot fail to
invest these subjects with new interest. The attempt has
been made to present only devices of a practical character.
5. The book suggests " ways " to make teaching effective; it
is not simply a book of new " ways," but of " ways " that wig
produce good reults.
