Synopsis

This book proposes a preliminary course of study for elementary schools, highlighting subjects, time allocation, presentation and review order, and the distribution of subjects in a manner which promotes both a correlation of studies and effective teaching. Crafted by the Massachusetts State Board of Education and informed by various national surveys, this resource aims to provide guidance to educators. The author discusses the value of including foreign languages, algebra, geometry, and manual training in the grammar school curriculum, citing examples of successful implementation in Boston and elsewhere. The report underscores the importance of considering children's developmental needs and mental growth when selecting subjects and allocating time, advocating for an approach that balances depth and breadth of knowledge. The book offers detailed time schedules and percentage breakdowns of study groups from ten leading courses, revealing a consensus on the relative importance of language, mathematics, science, and literature-history. It concludes that the proposed course of study will enhance the quality of elementary education, enriching the curriculum and preparing students for further academic pursuits.
