The Francis W. Parker School Year Book, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Francis W. Parker School Year Book, Vol. 2 There has been a morning exercise every day during the twelve years of the existence of the Francis W. Parker School, and although stenographic notes have been made of many of these exercises, it has proved difficult to select from this mass of material the best examples for publication. We have confined the choice to those which have seemed typical in subject-matter and plan of presentation and have included only those in which the idea expressed has seemed adaptable for use in any school trying such an experiment. A large portion of the book consists of verbatim reports of exercises, with only explana tory notes by the teachers.
