Modern practices in the elementary school

This book was written to be of practical help to teachers in their daily work, and to prospective teachers who seek to understand the how and why of modern education. Theory and practice have been woven together throughout the book, so that the justification and application of educational principles are presented simultaneously. Learning is an organic process, and teaching the process of stimulating and guiding the activities of children so that rich and varied experiences result. Through living such a school life day by day and year by year, children develop into personalities interested in, and capable of, living the good life as long as they live.
