on New Materials of Instruction, Society's Committee Society's Committee on New Materials of Instruction - 1921 The work of the kindergarten must be comtantly new if the present-day conception of education as a meeting of children's needs at the successive stages of their development is kept clearly in mind. Having grasped this principle, the kindergartner sees that children's interests and activities must serve as the starting point in their education and that these interests must be so guided as to create problems for them to solve. The approach to subject matter is made by the meeting of play situations and the solving of play problems. It cannot, therefore, be stereotyped, but must be brought afresh to each individual or group. Society's Committee on New Materials of Instruction - 1921 The materials assembled by the sub-committee on the primary grades are presented in this chapter in three sections, according as they are designed for use in the first, the second, or the third grade. The project materials for the third grade naturally fell under classification of school subjects, as: history, geography, arithmetic. Those for the first and second grades, because each project involved several of the tools of learning, were more difficult of organization, therefore more inclusive terms were used as: seasonable, special occasions. The chairman regrets that much valuable material came too late to be used. Readers may find it of interest to refer also to the "Reading Exercises Based on Children's Experiences" presented as Chapter I of the earlier report in the Nineteenth Year-book, Part I, of the Society. Society's Committee on New Materials of Instruction - 1921 There are grouped in this chapter materials, mostly of the type now frequently referred to as ''projects,'' which have been actually used in the fourth, fiith, and sixth grades. Many of them will be found useful in more than one grade, but they have been arranged within the chapter as projects for the fourth, the fifth, or the sixth grade according to the grade in which they were originally developed. Within each grade they are also grouped roughly to bring together those that feature a given aspect of school work, like geography, nature study, composition, etc. Society's Committee on New Materials of Instruction - 1921 On the whole the following brief records of projects deserve high commendation. They indicate the beginnings of a new and vitalized course of study and improved methods of procedure in junior-high-school instruction. Society's Committee on New Materials of Instruction - 1921 The purpose of the special class work is to teach pupils to become useful members of society. This type of child usually leaves school early. He should then have had proper health habits established and should then know what kind of work he can do as well as where he can get a job. Society's Committee on New Materials of Instruction - 1921 Society's Committee on New Materials of Instruction - 1920 Primary teachers have long recognized the necessity of supplementing the reading material of the printed primers by exercises made up directly from the experiences of the pupils. The exercises based on actual experiences have the advantage of drawing on a familiar but relatively diversified oral vocabulary and at the same time the pupils, recognizing the sentences as the results of their owri authorship, pass readily from oral speech to reading. Society's Committee on New Materials of Instruction - 1920 The reading material supplied in the ordinary American primers are not. adapted in most cases to the experience of children who grow up in homes where the English language is not spoken and where American customs are unfamiliar. The city of Rochester, N.Y., has recognized the problem of providing proper primer materials for these children as one which must be dealt with by teachers familiar with the simple surroundings of such children. Society's Committee on New Materials of Instruction - 1920 As one important branch of the Americanization Movement, there have been prepared lessons for the teaching of English to adults. The Army encountered the fact that well-meaning persons who attempted to teach illiterate recruits how to read were seriously handicapped for lack ofsuitable reading lessons. Society's Committee on New Materials of Instruction - 1920 The City of Los Angeles is trying under the direction of A. H. Sutherland, Psychologist of the City School District, a unique series of experiments in reading. These experiments are at present limited to the special rooms where work is going on with ungraded pupils. They comprise a series of tests which are used following each reading exercise. Society's Committee on New Materials of Instruction - 1920 The importance of teaching older people how to read effectively, especially when they read silently, has been fully discussed in the recent literature of education. There is no large body of material, however, on the methods of teaching silent reading, though some high-school teachers and even some college teachers are taking steps in their classrooms to meet this deficiency. Society's Committee on New Materials of Instruction - 1920 The written work which pupils prepare is often of such little interest to them and to their teachers that it is thrown away after it has been corrected as to its spelling and punctuation. There is no reason why pupils should riot write on subjects which have permanent value. The results of their efforts can in such cases be accumulated to furnish some of the most interesting materials for subsequent reading. Society's Committee on New Materials of Instruction - 1920 Another example of book-malring which uses materials collected in part by pupils and in part by teachers is the volume entitled "Real Stories From Ealtimore County History," published by Warwick and York, of Baltimore, and edited by Miss Isabel Davidson. Society's Committee on New Materials of Instruction - 1920 The local environment of the school, both physical and social, is sure to yield abundant material if teachers will only follow the examples given in the last two sections, where it was shown that whole books can be compiled. That there is not enough for a book need not discourage anyone. Single lessons added to the material in ordinary textbooks will always helpto enliven instruction. In this section some examples will be given of such single lessons dealing with local environment. Society's Committee on New Materials of Instruction - 1920 The extension of investigations beyond the local environment is fully justified when one considers on the one hand the meager statements of the ordinary textbooks on geography and on the other hand
the overwhelming mass of material which is available in government reports, in magazines, and interesting books on travel. Society's Committee on New Materials of Instruction - 1920 There is a widespread demand for examples which shall vary the monotony, the abstractness and the lack of contact with practical life of the usual textbooks. All the newer books are including examples which suggest attention to the daily interests of pupils. This demand has been followed in many localities by the collection of examples from tradespeople and store keepers in the neighborhood. During the war there was a large amount of material made with a view to promoting general thrift or support for the loans or purchase of war saving stamps. Society's Committee on New Materials of Instruction - 1920 Nature Study is one of the lines in which it is possible and even necessary to draw a great deal of material from the immediate environment of the school. It is quite impossible in textbooks to present the local problems of physics and zoology and botany which will come up if pupils are alert to understand their surroundings. From the large body of materials which came to the Committee. One example was selected. Society's Committee on New Materials of Instruction - 1920 The field in which there has been in recent years the greatest amount of productive writing by teachers and pupils, is that which is commonly known as civics. As indicated in the title of this section a somewhat broader title is more serviceable because it includes aspects of social study which are not directly related to government and the formal civic organization of the community.
