A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Special Methods of Historical Study AS PUBSUED AT THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY AND AT SMITH COLLEGE. The main principle of historical training at the Johns Hopkins University is to encourage independent thought and research. Little heed is given to text-books, or the mere phraseology of history, but all stress is laid upon clear and original statements of fact and opinion, whether the students own or the opinion of a consulted author. The comparative method of reading and study is followed by means of assigning to individual members of the class separate topics, with references to various standard works. These topics are duly reported upon by the appointees, either ex tempore, with the aid of a few notes, or in formal papers, which are discussed This article contains extracts from a paper on History: I ts Place in American Colleges, originally contributed in October, 1879, to The Alumnu Sya literary and educational quarterly then published in Philadelphia, but now suspended and entirely out of print. A few extracts have also been made from an article on Co-operation in University work, in the second number of The Johns Hopkins University Studies in Historical and Political Science, But the body of the article is new, and was written at the request of Dr. G. Stanley Hall, as a contribution to the Methods of History, Vol. I. of the Pedagogical.L ibrary, Boston: Ginn, Heath Co., 1883. By the kind permission of the publishers, the chapter is here reproduced in connection with a paper on New Methods of Study in History, which is now for the first time printed, but which is the natural outgrowth of the original paper and, like that, suggested by Dr. G. Stanley Hall, for pedagogical purposes.
