The History of Educational Theories and Practices.
3. Course primarily for graduates:
(a) Organization of Public Schools and Academies.
(b) The Theory of Teaching.
These courses are, however, but short, and intended to be taken at the same time as other subjects. There is as yet no attempt to arrange for a complete course of training, but every prospect that from the beginning already made there may develop a graduate school for the training of teachers.
Harvard has already realized its responsibility in respect to the inspection and supervision of schools, for which I was given to understand very special arrangements are being made, and it will be but a step further for it to provide such training for the teachers it sends out to these schools as shall fit them duly for their work.
There are certain elective courses allowed in the philosophy course, at the University of Cornell, which really constitute a pedagogical department. They include the following:
1. Institutes of Education (Lectures).
2. School Systems and Organizations (Lectures).
3. Pedagogic Conference, Discussions and Essays on Educational topics, and reports on visits to schools.
