Synopsis

A historical high school curriculum shows how psychology, music, and history were taught together to build focused, disciplined learners.

This edition outlines a comprehensive approach to secondary education from the early 20th century. It combines classroom psychology with practical drills, course outlines, and recommended reading to guide teachers in shaping attention, habit, memory, and will alongside core subjects such as music and history. The material emphasizes experiments, structured practice, and hands‑on exercises to connect theory with everyday school life.

Readers will encounter concrete guidance on organizing lessons, conducting drills, and evaluating progress. The book also presents detailed outlines for music study and a broad American history program, including suggested references and teaching methods. It reflects a curriculum meant to train both the mind and the habits of students through disciplined study and purposeful activity.

• How attention, will, and habit are addressed in classroom practice and student development.


• Practical laboratory-style exercises and demonstrations to accompany text learning.


• Subject outlines for music, history, bookkeeping, stenography, and other commercial branches.


• Methods for organizing lessons, drills, and assessment to build consistent study habits.

Ideal for teachers, curriculum planners, and researchers interested in historic approaches to secondary education and classroom methods.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Section 1of chapter 387, Session Laws of 1905, reads in part as follows: The State Board of Education shall prescribe the course of study for the normal institutes, and for the public schools of the state, and shall revise the same when the interests of the schools require it. The State Board of Education, acting under authority of the law as quoted above, has attempted to prepare courses of study that shall, in some degree at least, meet the needs of the high schools of Kansas. We believe that these courses are sufficiently elastic to serve the purpose of practically every high school in the state. Recognizing the ideal held before the young people of the state by our institutions of higher learning we have outlined the college preparatory course, following very closely the work heretofore outlined in the University High School Manual. But we believe that the high schools are essentially the schools of the people, and not primarily preparatory schools for institutions of higher grade. We have therefore thought it feasible to so differentiate the courses that our young people may have in our high schools the greatest opportunity possible to fit themselves for the work they must do when they leave the high school. With this thought in mind we have outlined the general and normal courses. Let us, so far as possible, fit for college and university. Let us give the young men and the young women who must enter the business world immediately upon graduation from the high school the best preparation possible. Let us also train the still greater number of young men and young women who will teach school immediately upon graduation in the art and science of school management. We have thus sought to meet the need, as far as possible, of the great throng of young people who are crowding into our high schools.
