May 4, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "The Prussian Elementary School," by Thomas Alexander. This book is the record of an exhaustive study of the Prussian elementary schools made during a year and a half prior to the outbreak of the world war to secure data for the improvement of the educational system. In a series of chapters the author has grouped his story of the development, the administration, the organization, and the management of these schools. It is a striking revelation of unflinching, unwavering continuity of purpose. It is the underlying doctrine of Prussian elementary education today, as the extensive quotations from the utterances of Prussian monarchs, statesmen, and school administrators show.
