We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
Education Without Effort
All of this and more they wanted to see and the teacher realized that seeing is the only means by which many subjects can be successfully taught. Modern science and invention have made this possible. Even the smallest and poorest schools can now take the child into every part of the world and show him real life in action of almost everything that exists, or that can be seen with the eye.
"What a man does not see, what he does not live, he will not know." — Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Essay on History."
Even With Visual Aids Attention and Interest Are First Essentials
Every teacher knows that in order to show the most satisfactory results in the education of the children under her care she must be able to secure their whole attention, which can only be brought about by making the subjects to be taught so attractive that the children will voluntarily and unconsciously become interested. This is often a difficult problem and not infrequently exhausts the teacher's store of tactful methods without bringing about the desired results. The subject, "how to arouse and hold the pupil's interest," has probably consumed more time at teachers' institutes and educational gatherings than all other subjects combined, confirming our statement that "To teach successfully you must get the pupil's interest."
Nothing interests the pupil so much as real life. He cares very little about the tiger skin on the parlor floor or the picture of the roaring lion hanging in father's den, but the morning the circus comes to town he is the first to awaken. Long before the street lights are out you will find him watching eagerly the hustle and bustle of transferring the circus from the trains to the big tents. You find him carrying bucket after bucket of water and running hundreds of errands for the privilege of seeing a real live tiger and a real live lion.
