There are no two nations on exactly the same road, politically or educationally. Hence it is important for the director of schools to clearly understand its national point of view before he attempts to pass judgment on the fitness of a school system or proposes to transplant it to his own country. England stands in the world-history for the originator of the political system of local self-government. It is a historic growth, and not a theoretical invention hatched in the minds of statesmen or political philosophers. Each of the constituent peoples in the combination - Celt, Roman, Angle, Saxon, Dane, and Norman - was so stubborn as to be invincible within some last citadel of its own, and the struggle for dominion had to end in a compromise. In a compromise two wills are united and victorious; each respects the other and adopts it as its own to a certain extent. In an absolute conquest only one will remains dominant, while one is destroyed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Report on the Study of English Language and Literature in Elementary and Secondary Schools, 1904 At first the children may be inclined to give the exact words of the author in their reproduction. This need not give the teacher any uneasiness. By selecting a new lesson and direct ing the children to read it silently and then look on their books while she tells what she has read, the teacher may in a short time help the children to reproduce fluently and partly in their own language the story read.

Excerpt from The Teaching of English in the Secondary School The present is beyond doubt a period of significant change in the field of secondary education. Under perfect conditions, gradual and continuous readjust ment to the changing demands of -a dynamic society should be characteristic of education at all times. In the past, however, perfect conditions have never obtained and in all probability the future will fail to provide them. The history of education shows clearly that the school does not promptly react to changes in social demands, that educational readjustment is seldom gradual, and that desirable changes in education, neglected for the time, gradually increase in number and importance until by the pressure of accumulated force they compel extensive and' radical reorganization at irregular intervals. There is every evidence that the present is one of those periods when the accumulation of long-needed changes is compel ling radical readjustment in the secondary school as well as in other departments of the system of educa tion.
