Gilbert, Charles Benajah. School and its life. $1.25. Silver.
“This volume, the fruit of wide experience both as a teacher and school superintendent, deals with life rather than the mechanism of schools. It conceives of teaching as a spiritual process, of education as the wholesome development and adaptation of life to its environment, and finds the conditions of successful teaching in conforming to the common laws of life and growth. Its aim is to secure to children the educative influence of a natural, sane, and wholesome school life as a part of the larger world-life. Its successive chapters discuss the vital problems arising in the management and organization of schools and school systems.”—Outlook.
“A sane, practical, and comprehensive work on school management.”
