LECTURES ON TEACHING
DELIVERED IN THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE
By J. G. FITCH, M.A.
WITH AN INTRODUCTORY PREFACE BY
THOMAS HUNTER, Ph.D., President of the Normal College, New York
16mo. Cloth. $1.00
“This is eminently the work of a man of wisdom and experience. He takes a broad and comprehensive view of the work of the teacher, and his suggestions on all topics are worthy of the most careful consideration.”—New England Journal of Education.
“The lectures will be found most interesting, and deserve to be carefully studied, not only by persons directly concerned with instruction, but by parents who wish to be able to exercise an intelligent judgment in the choice of schools and teachers for their children. For ourselves, we could almost wish to be of school age again, to learn history and geography from some one who could teach them after the pattern set by Mr. Fitch to his audience. But perhaps Mr. Fitch’s observations on the general conditions of school work are even more important than what he says on this or that branch of study.”—Saturday Review.
NOTES ON AMERICAN SCHOOLS AND TRAINING COLLEGES
BY THE SAME AUTHOR
16mo. Cloth. 60 cents
“Mr. Fitch is a wise and enthusiastic student of pedagogy, the author of some specially excellent Lectures on Teaching delivered in the University of Cambridge, and a rarely good observer of new facts.... The book is a treasure of clever description, shrewd comment, and instructive comparison of the English system and our own.”—The Churchman.
