HOW SHALL MY CHILD BE TAUGHT?

Practical Pedagogy or the Science of Teaching Illustrated By LOUISA PARSONS HOPKINS Supervisor in Boston Public Schools Cloth $1.20 net

“The Boston Herald” says: “Mrs. Louisa Parsons Hopkins has made a careful study of the science of teaching, and her book will be of the greatest service to those who are engaged in the tasks of primary teaching. She is less didactic than experimental in her methods; but the points which she makes are those that lead to success, because they have been proved in the schoolroom, and have the authority of the great schoolmasters of modern times.”

TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE

Original spelling and grammar have been generally retained, with some exceptions noted below. Original printed page numbers are shown like this: {p52}. Footnotes have been relabeled 1–7, and moved from within paragraphs to nearby locations between paragraphs. I produced the cover image and hereby assign it to the public domain. Original page images are available from archive.org—search for “penstypes00drew”.

The turned comma in ‹MʻDonough› on page [119] is a glyph (Unicode character [‹ʻ› U+02BB; modifier let­ter turned com­ma]) that is not well sup­port­ed in cur­rent brow­sers. It is retained in the simple text edition, but an image is substituted in the html, epub, and mobi editions. On page [122], the x with combining cedilla has been rendered as an image in all but the text edition. Other Unicode characters rendered as images include: Arabic semi­colon, double high-reversed-9 quo­ta­tion mark, single high-reversed-9 quo­ta­tion mark, as­ter­ism, double ver­ti­cal line, and white right point­ing index. Many glyphs that are not included in the Unicode system are represented as ‹[Symbol]› in the text edition, and as images in the other editions.
