Excerpt from Report on Industrial Education, 1884 On the other hand, what do experienced educators now claim as a satisfactory course of elementary studies for the country schools? We will simply enumerate the studies in the report of a competent committee of the National Council of Education made last summer upon this subject. The Committee divides the pupils' school life into three stages or periods of development, with corresponding studies. For the first, or period of observation and sensation reading, spelling, elementary composition, numbers, linear drawing, singing, gymnastics, and simple lessons on the properties of things. For the second, or period of memory and imagina tion: a continuation of the studies of the first course, but more advanced, with the facts of history, elements of geography, and elementary lessons on plants, ani mals, minerals, chemistry, and physics.
