Excerpt from The Massachusetts Teacher, Vol. 5The profits of the concern are as yet only nominal, and it was found necessary to draw from the funds of the Association to carry it through the first year of its life.The practical question which we would now put to the teachers of this State is this, Will you give the Massachusetts Teacher a more liberal support, and thus make it more worthy of your patronage, and more worthy of the great interests to which it is devoted? Its future character and history must of course depend in a great measure upon the support you give to it. It is your paper, and we wish you so to consider it. If you do not sustain it by subscriptions, it must languish. If you do not send your contributions to its columns, who will? That it has imperfections we do not doubt. What periodical has not? But let every teacher in Massachusetts lend a hand to improve it, and it will become, if it is not now, the pride of the profession.We hold that it is the duty of every teacher in Massachusetts to take and read an educational paper, and when we find a per son in a permanent situation as a. Teacher, without such a publi cation, if we do not conclude there is something rotten in Den mar we do feel pained. If any have arrived at such an enviable degree of perfection in the science and art of teaching that they can glean no new ideas from such a source, we con gratulate them on their good fortune, and since they do not need a paper for themselves, we can only ask them to help sus tain one for the sake of their less fortunate brethren.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Massachusetts Teacher, Vol. 13: October 1860 He gave several amusing illustrations, contrasting the ancient and modern Greek, and the changes that have occurred, comparing it with. Some of the changes in the English language since the time of Chaucer.

Excerpt from The Massachusetts Teacher, 1850, Vol. 3 The study of the natural methods of classification and more extensive investigations of complicated phenomena, the use of the microscope and dissecting apparatus, may be introduced at a later period; but, unless children be prepared for this higher study, unless they acquire a certain familiarity with the exter nal relations of Minerals, Plants and Animals, it will be as im podble to instruct them further in the higher branches of these Sciences, as it would be to teach mathematical astronomy or nat ural philosophy to those who had never learned to add and sub tract figures, or to obtain the simplest written statement from those who had never learned their A B C. This elementary study should be substantial, and should consist in the illustration of material objects, the properties, forms and characters of which, might be explained, even by those who are not yet familiar with the subject, but who, from a more mature development of their intelligence should always be prepared to describe correctly, what is brought before them. The facility with which we can call the attention of children to phenomena with which we ourselves are but slightly familiar, without giving full explanations of what is seen, shows the ease with which such elementary instruction in Natural History might be introduced in all schools by every intelligent teacher. There can be, there fore, no objection to such a plan, on the ground of the difficulty of the subject; and perhaps some details about the plan to be pursued, will convince the most incredulous.

Excerpt from The Massachusetts Teacher, 1855, Vol. 8 But it is worthy of note that the activity of the circulatory app. And that of relation should be harmonious. They must therefore be connected, as is represented by the sympathetic ganglia and nerves. AS all these kinds of apparatus serve to organize the body and preserve it, they may be properly grouped, and called the grand apparatus of Organic Life, which, added to that of Rela tion, form the body. Thus by a glance of the e e, the use, relation, and dependence of all parts are seen, an the Italics give hygienic hints, to wit: Properly 1. Educate the Mind. 2. Exercise and repose app. Of R. 3. Rub and clothe the body. 4. Pay attention to. 5. Air. 6. Water and food. 7. Cleanliness and regularity of habits. Of course, each nucleus of the above tableau might be expanded and form a tableau by itself, but the object in this case was, instead of expanding, to condense to the utmost pos sible degree, and present to the mature mind the whole matter in, as it were, a nutshell, so that each word should be a chap ter, and the half a page an entire volume.

Excerpt from The Massachusetts Teacher, 1849, Vol. 2 The profession demand it from the nature and object of their employment. The direct object of the teacher's labor is the mind: to de velop and educate the intellect, to awaken its faculties, direct and discipline them, is the office and nature of his profession. A considerable portion of the time and labor which are now de voted to teaching are expended in experiment; in ascertaining and then testing the best modes of communicating knowledge. Could his energy and exertion be employed in accordance with the rules of a perfect and complete system of teaching, in which he might safely confide, much greater and more satisfactory results would be accomplished; much time would be saved and the cause of infinite perplexities removed. But such a complete system does not exist. There is no established system of mental philosophy, even; in no other department of knowledge have great minds differed so widely in their speculations, or arrived at results so startlingly opposed. And the principles of teach ing and governing in schools must be learned at the present day, as they always have been, by experience. Eminent teachers have lived who taught with wonderful success, and they have been rendered immortal by the fame of their scholars: but of their peculiar modes of instruction, of the causes and sources of their success, we are almost wholly ignorant: the fruit of their experience has been buried with them.
