Thirty Third Annual Report Of The Board Of Education Of The City And County Of New York For The Official Year Ending December 31 1874 PDF Download

Excerpt from Forty-Third Annual Report of the Board of Education of the City of New York: For the Year Ending December 31, 1884 The course of studies has, accordingly, been determined by what the Board believes to be the requirements of the best pedagogical methods, and is based upon the theory that they must necessarily provide a medium and means for the general and harmonious development of all the faculties of the scholar so as to best prepare him for the performance of the duties of life, and that they must exclude everything which has not a well determined educational value. In the Primary Department the course for the Sixth and Fifth Grades, which are the lowest two, consists of Language and Reading, Number, Slate Writing, Drawing, Vocal Music, and Physical Training. In the Fourth Grade Arithmetic is taken up. In the Third Grade Penmanship is added to Slate Writing, and Sewing is taught in the girls' classes; and to these studies no new ones are added in either the Second or First Grade except Geography as an added element in the Language Lessons of the First Grade. The items enumerated constitute the entire course of the Primary Schools. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
