Book Description
Excerpt from A School History of Tennessee This book is written from the modern point of view with reference to the proper interpretation of history. Much of our history is almost exclusively political history. It is little more than an account of public officials and a description of battles. History, as properly construed, is an interpretation of the whole life of a people. It is as much the duty of a historian to interpret the industrial life, the educational life, the social life, and the religions life of a people, as it is to interpret their political life. Certainly children should not get the idea that wars and politics constitute the whole of history. Much of the material herein used is original. It has been obtained through original investigation and research, and has never before been published. Many facts used were gotten from histories of Tennessee by Ramsay, Haywood, and Garrett and Goodpasture. These splendid books contain a veritable storehouse of valuable historical material and will hold an important place in the history of the state.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of Tennessee, Its People and Its Institutions The competent teacher of history demands of the text-book two essential qualities: Firsf. The text-book must contain a clear statement of all mate rial facts, and an adequate discussion of all important topics, arranged in such consecutive order as to cover the subject completely, and to connect all the parts in logical sequence. There must be no missing link in the chain of events. The author of the text-book does not share in the licen>e accorded to the general writer. He has no right to dilate on favorite or sensational topics to the omission or exclusion of essential links in the chain of history. In order to cover the subject in all its parts, it is necessary that the style be concise and the scope be comprehensive. If the text-book be defective in this first essential quality, no rhetorical excellence or charm of style can cure the defect. Second. In connection with the statement of each important fact, and the discussion of each important topic, the text-book must supply carefully selected page references to the sources of information, and to the best authorities in which the subject is treated more in detail than the restrictions of a school-book will permit. The skillful teacher makes this demand of the text-book, because he needs it as an aid to himself and a guide to the pupil, in order to accomplish the best results. He knows that the limitations of the school-term will not permit him to do more than lay the foundation upon which the pupil, himself, in future years must build the superstructure. If the teacher is ambitious that his teaching shall live in the future lives of his pupils, he looks beyond the school-room, and is not content to prepare his pupils only for the next recitation, or the next examination. If he aims to train lovers Of history, or readers of history, or writers of history, he must give his pupils, at least, a glimpse of the rich and varied field of historical literature, with some training towards forming the habit of historical research, and some practice in the methods of historical investigation. The text-book should aid in this work by supplying references. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from History and Prospectus: Tennessee School for the Blind This introduction to the History and Prospectus of the Tennessee School for the Blind may contain little that is not found in the body of the work, and the most that its author hopes for it is that it may serve to direct attention to the wise observations of Professor Armstrong and to the data which he presents. If it should help to secure for Professor Armstrong's able presentation of a most interesting subject the attention and sympathy of thoughtful people, the motive that inspired it will have been fully satisfied. Its records show how, from a small beginning, the Tennessee School for the Blind has grown to vast proportions. Its history illustrates what such a beginning, inaugurated by one who was bereft of sight but who inspired his cause, may become in time, by intelligent, unselfish, and continuous attention, and by the generous support of public-spirited citizens and of the law makers of a great State as well. Much more might have been done with more ample means at the disposal of the Trustees and the Superintendents, but all this can be made good by more generous aid from the State Legislature in the future. The intelligent citizens of Tennessee, no less than the law-makers of the State, will read with profit and satisfaction the contents of this volume, and, having read it with the care and attention it deserves, they will give to an institution which has done so much in the past for a sadly afflicted class of our fellow beings the means with which to accomplish even greater results in the future. Let this volume, prepared with so much care, displaying so much thought and study, and presenting an array of facts and figures of such engaging interest as to make the reader forget almost that this is not a work of fiction, find its way silently into every heart and home in Tennessee. And let it be remem bered that Professor Armstrong, Superintendent of the School for the Blind, who is himself deprived of the blessing of sight.

Excerpt from Tennessee Historical Magazine, Vol. 2: March December, 1916 The purpose of this paper is to sketch the history of public schools in Tennessee during the most important period of their existence before the Civil War, to follow their varying fortunes, and to determine if possible to what extent they met the need which called them into existence. Only a brief sum mary of events before 1834 is necessary to give a background for the period under discussion.

Excerpt from Course of Study: Elementary Grades, Public Schools of Tennessee, 1921 In preparing this bulletin many courses of study and authorities on education have been consulted and an effort has been made to adapt the best that could be found to the needs of the schools. Principals and teachers from various counties have been consulted. Valuable aid has been given by members of the faculty of George Peabody College for Teachers, the University of Tennessee, the State Normal Schools and by the supervisors of Davidson, Hamilton and Shelby counties. The aim has been to outline a course of study exible enough to meet the needs of the schools of the State. Much suggestive material is included and it is our hope that the teachers of the State will adapt it to the needs of their schools.
