Excerpt from The Teacher's Encyclopaedia of the Theory, Method, Practice, History and Development of Education at Home and Abroad, Vol. 3 of 7 The articles in Vol. IV. complete the general scheme of the "Teacher's Encyclopedia" as laid down in the Introduction to Vol. I., so far as relates to the specific subjects of instruction in both primary and secondary schools. They also include valuable contributions dealing with the relationship of the Child to the Law, and with the efforts being made for the welfare of the children who leave school at an early age. The comprehensive list of books attached to the article on School Libraries will make the selection of suitable home reading an easy matter. The articles do not readily lend themselves to pictorial illustration, and the list of illustrations therefore is shorter than those in previous volumes.

Excerpt from The Teacher's Encyclopaedia of the Theory, Method, Practice, History and Development of Education at Home and Abroad, Vol. 6 of 7 This volume begins with an article on the teaching of the Blind and Deaf, thus completing the articles on special schools. The rest of the volume is devoted to articles on the organisation of education in various countries, beginning with Organisation and Finance in England and Scotland, and in Ireland, and then dealing with the leading countries on the Continent, America, and our Colonies. In addition, there are some illustrations in this volume which deal with another subject. In Volumes I. and II. the Infant School and Nature Study were both considered, and these drawings may be regarded as an addition to those articles and as illustrating the methods of teaching Nature Study adopted by Miss von Wyss, the principles adopted being that the child is to be trained to make drawings and coloured representations of objects direct from nature, that as far as possible it is allowed to find out for itself as it grows older the various details necessary for a complete representation, and that the examples be chosen so that the child is dealing with one object alone in the first instance. The gradual changes in the development of a plant, and the relations of the organism to its environment are handled at later stages. The selected drawings illustrate a few such points, but the attention of the reader is directed to them for a further reason. Miss von Wyss has succeeded in combining in one study an accurate representation suitable for a scientific text-book with an artistic treatment. We have here, therefore, the combination of the exact training in observation with an aesthetic atmosphere, and it is largely with a view to enabling teachers to realise how much can be done in this direction that these illustrations have been reproduced.

Excerpt from The Teacher's Encyclopaedia of the Theory, Method, Practice, History and Development of Education at Home and Abroad, Vol. 7 of 7 Both historically and educationally the characteristics of Greek education which are most significant for modern Civilisation may be summed up under two heads: I. In the first place Greek education is significant for the light which it throws on the relation of the individual to the State, and more especially because of its emphasis on individual develop ment and individual freedom under circumstances and conditions which make the phenomenon unique in human history.

Excerpt from The Teacher's Encyclopaedia of the Theory, Method, Practice, History and Development of Education at Home and Abroad, Vol. 1 of 7 The word Encyclopaedia has become associated in our minds with a special form of publication in which the subjects are arranged in alphabetical order, and in which something like an exhaustive treatment is expected. Such a meaning, however, need not necessarily be attached to the word, as after all it merely signifies the completion of the circle in the treatment of a subject and therefore in this publication we have ventured to depart from the already familiar form and thus to avoid repetition of educa tional encyclopaedias that already exist in Germany and France. The aim has rather been to select for handling such subjects as are of vital interest to the modern teacher, and in each case to ask a leading expert to write upon the particular subject. In this way we have tried to bring together, for the help and instruction of all those who are interested in education, the leading thought of the day on all the most vital problems in the life and training of the child. In order, therefore, to make our object clear, and to show the main lines of development which we have followed, the subjects have been arranged in groups instead of in alphabetical order. The child, for instance, may be regarded merely as an animal, and from this point of view all that bears upon its physical health becomes of primary importance. The opening door to this department of applied science is the physiology of the child, as distinct from the physiology of the aduAbout the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.
