Excerpt from The Curriculum of the Horace Mann Elementary School The curriculum of the Horace Mann Elementary School, as published in five numbers of the teachers college record in 1906 and 1907, has long since been out of date as well as out of print. In response to many requests, therefore, this revision of the course of study is published. The changes from the former curriculum, while they are numer ous, have been the result of a gradual growth during the past six years. The administration of the school leaves the principal and the teachers peculiarly free to modify their methods of teaching and the subject matter of instruction whenever it seems best to do so in View of the best interests of the pupils and in accordance with the best accepted educational practice. The specific changes that have been made are noted in the introductory statements under each subject. The Study of New York City, which is outlined in Chapter IV, is an organized attempt to prepare our pupils to take a more intelligent and enthusiastic interest in civic betterment. As they become better acquainted with local history and tradition and with our best artistic possessions, as they come to realize the great social problems growing out of the industrial life of their city and the organizations of good citizens that are working to solve such problems, we hope that they themselves will soon develop a high type of civic responsibility.

Excerpt from The Teaching of Science in the Elementary School The part that science plays in modern life is so vital that science teaching must inevitably have an important place in the school curriculum. There has been some confusion regarding the term to be used to cover the work in science in the elementary school Nature-study' has been the word in most common usage. But there is considerable misunderstanding as to what is included under this term. In recent years it has been used in an ever-broadening sense till now the word is used by many educators to include all phases of science adapted to the elementary school. But among people in general the common notion still prevails that nature-study includes only the study of Wild plants and animals. So that, considering all sides of the matter, it has seemed better to the author to adopt the word science instead of nature-study, as tending to involve less mis understanding and as helping to establish an appropriate and standard term.

Excerpt from The Organization of Instruction Materials: With Special Relation to the Elementary School Curriculum For a number of years the writer has been engaged in training teachers for elementary and secondary schools. During this time he has had excellent opportunities to observe the struggle of beginning teachers in their attempts to interpret courses of study. He has frequently had occasion to listen to expressions of discouragement from teachers of experience, both trained and untrained, who were attempting to follow courses of study that failed to give a clear statement of the subject matter to be taught and the method of teaching it. Often he has found such teachers to have recourse to courses of study of other systems in spite of the fact that the fundamental plan of such courses might not be in harmony with that of the system to which it was being adapted. The present study is an attempt to show how such courses of study may be made of greater service to teachers in their task of making instruction materials meaningful, of bringing about organization of knowledge on part of children. The assumptions in the discussion of this problem are as follows, (1) The course of study of a school system is a plan of action for the teachers of the system; it must therefore indicate clearly what is to be taught and how such materials are to be made real experiences on part of children. (2) The object of teaching must be the organization of experiences by children with a view of making them available for further use and, for this reason, helps given teachers on "how to teach" must concern themselves largely with the problem of how children's experiences are to become organized. I am greatly indebted to Professor Frank M. McMurry for helpful suggestions and criticisms in making the study; to the works of Professors Dewey and I. E. Miller for a statement of the psychology of thinking; to Dr. William H. Kilpatrick for suggesting the final arrangement of chapters; to the critic teachers of the William McGuffey School of Miami University for supplying some of the illustrations of children's organizations of the third chapter and for trying out the concrete plans of the fifth chapter. The bibliography indicates those books most frequently used in connection with the various phases of the discussion.
