Ebook Readings in the History of Education

The Readings which this volume reproduces have been collected, from time to time, by the author in connection with the instruc tion of university classes in the general history of education, and have been used with students as reading supplemental to a lecture course on the subject. They are now gathered together and organized into the present volume, and made to run parallel with and to supplement the author's textbook on the H is tory of Education, published at this same time. The chapter arrangement of the two books is the same, and the different Readings are referred to by cross-reference (r. 172, etc.) through out the History volume. At the same time the Selections are of such a general nature, have been so organized and arranged, and their importance and significance are so explained in the chapter introductions, that the volume of Readings may be used as a reference volume of sources by instructors using other texts on the history of education.
