BEST METHODS OF TEACHING IN COUNTRY SCHOOLS

G. DALLAS LIND

Preface

• This book was written for country teachers, by a country teacher, and though doubtless possessing imperfections, the author hopes that by a careful perusal of its contents the reader may learn many things which he has learned in the school of experience, that dearest of teachers.

Captious critics may find much to worry over, but the writer can assure them that they will not find anything which he has not worried over before them.

A strictly logical arrangement of the subject has not been attempted. It was thought that a familiar conversational style was better adapted to the purpose in hand.

It will be observed that frequent references are made from one part of the book to another. This was done to avoid repetition, and it is hoped the reader will follow them out. G. Dallas Lind.

Preface To The New Edition

The book has been thoroughly revised by the author of ''Mistakes in Teaching (Preston Papers)." New chapters on the best methods of teaching Literature, Penmanship and Manual Work have been added.

The publishers feel confident that the new edition, printed from brand new electrotype plates, will be of inestimable value to the ambitious country school teacher who is earnestly striving to raise the standard of her school.
