Présentation de l'éditeur

The suggestions made in this pamphlet, respecting modes of instruction, were first published in the Connecticut Common School Journal. They were afterwards inserted in the Common School Journal, edited by the Hon. Horace Mann, who introduced them with the following commendation: Let no one be deterred from reading this article on account of its length. We could not spare ft sentence without losing an excellent suggestion. The recommendation respecting the use of slates, should be every where followed, furnishing long pencils to the scholars instead of short- ones, because short pencils lay the foundation of bad habits in holding a pen But especially to every teacher of a summer school, we say, read the article and practice upon its advice, and a five months school will do as much as has usually been accomplished, in the old way, in. Few of our summer schools, in the country, are kept for a longer term than three months, and many not more than two months. But the modes of instruction here recommended may be successfully put in practice in the shortest school no matter whether it continue fiva weeks or five months, consist of ten scholars or a hundred, more will be accomplished in a given time, not fifty times as much perhaps, but far more than by pursuing the old routine.
