Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Making of Our Middle Schools: An Account of the Development of Secondary Education in the United States Back of these definitions, however, lie theoretical consider etions. There is a stage in. Mental development, above the empirical stage and below the philosophical, which may be called the scientific. The grade of education correspond ing to this intermediate stage may, quite naturally, be called secondary, that below it being called primary, and that above it, higher. The primary or elementary division deals mainly with things in their unessential relationships, their resemblances and differences, their collocation in space, and their orderly arrangement in temporal series. It rises, to be sure, to general ideas, but hardly arrives at logical definition of its ideas. The secondary division deals with [ideas more clearly defined; and it comes to an understand ing of things as organized into coherent systems through the operation of such principles as those of mechanical causation and human imitation.\ These principles have already become familiar, to be sure, in the earlier stage, but not in their larger Significance. Higher education seeks, finally, in the study of philosophy, to attain to a complete comprehension of the world, viewing it in the light of ultimate principles.

Elmer Ellsworth Brown (1861-1934) was an American educator. Born at Kiantone in Chautauqua County, New York, he studied at New York University (NYU), graduated from Illinois State Normal University in 1881 and at the University of Michigan (A.B., 1889); then he studied in Germany and received a Ph.D. from the University of Halle in 1890. He was principal of public schools in Belvidere, Illinois, in 1881-84, assistant state secretary of the Y. M. C. A. of Illinois (1884-87), and principal of the high school at Jackson, Michigan, in 1890-91. He taught education at the University of Michigan (1891-93) and at the University of California, Berkeley (1893-1906). After directing the reorganization of the Bureau of Education as U.S. Commissioner of Education (1906-11), he became chancellor of New York University, where he founded NYU Press in 1916 "to publish contributions to higher learning by eminent scholars." He was made fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and vice president of the education section in 1907. He led the Andiron Club from 1916 to 1922 and was associated with the Eucleian Society. Brown retired from NYU in 1933 and died in 1934 in New York.
