Excerpt from The Old Grammar Schools Winchester (1393 ad.) is our Oldest Public School of the Mediaeval type. Stratford m School 'refounded' 1553, St Paul's 1509, Grantham Grammar School 'refounded' 1553 are representative old grammar schools and typify the close connexion of these schools with the best national life, as the schools to which William Shakespeare, John Milton, and Sir Isaac Newton went, as school-boys.

Excerpt from Grammar School Book This Grammar School Arithmetic is noteworthy for the topics which it omits, as well as for the new topics which it introduces. A dominant fea ture is the emphasis upon vocational problems. These problems are of wide range, drawn from life on a farm, in the home, in the carpenter's shop, the manufacturing establishment, and the clerk's office in the city. It is hoped that these vocational problems will be of genuine value to the pupil after he leaves the school and enters into one or another of the various fields of activity.

Excerpt from The Old Order Book of Hartlebury Grammar School: 1556-1752 This old Minute and Account Book of Hartlebury Grammar School was found in the iron chest belonging to the Governors which stands in the Vestry of the Parish Church, along with the original Charter granted to the School by Queen Elizabeth, the Seal of the Corporation of Governors, and many old documents. The Book it may be said is only an old account book, and therefore of little interest. But it is more than that - it contains the history of one of the oldest Grammar Schools in England, from the days of Queen Mary (1556) to those of George II. (1750). It tells us how our ancestors managed or mismanaged village education 300 years ago - without the aid of Inspectors or County Councils or Boards of Education. No one knows the age of the School. The Bishops of Worcester have resided at Hartlebury Castle for 800 years. It is more than likely, therefore, that one of them was the founder of the School. It may have been Bishop Carpenter (1444), who lived for 35 years at Hartlebury and was one of the most munificent of the Bishops; or Bishop Alcock (1477), the Founder of Jesus College, Cambridge. We cannot say for certain, but one of the title-deeds dates from 1480 and the Charter of 1558 speaks of the School as having existed "for the space of divers years, although for default of necessary foundation good government, it hath brought but small commodity." Queen Elizabeth did not therefore found the School, she only remodelled it, and, at the advice of Edwin Sandys, Bishop of Worcester, gave it Statutes and a Charter. The titles of the property of the School throw some light on the matter. A large portion of the land is named "Virgin Marys," and another portion "Chaunters Medowe."

Excerpt from English Grammar for Common Schools Grammar should be taught inductively. Pupils should be led, first, in the light of their own experience, to study the simple facts of language, and then to investigate the more difficult matters of construction and inflection until they arrive at the general laws' which govern its structure. In other words, pupils should be helped to help themselves. And yet it is next to impossible to present inductive lessons throughout a text-book. Lessons must be prepared for classes of pupils; and no one but the teacher can know to What extent each child needs illustrative exercises, or when he is prepared to take the next step. This book is prepared on a plan somewhat different from that followed in most Grammars for schools. There are certain facts of grammar which must be learned before the mastery of other facts becomes possible. But although it is necessary, for example, to know something of the nature of nouns and verbs before beginning to analyze a sentence.

Excerpt from The Modern Grammar-School Reader (Illustrated) The elements of good reading are found in these principles, and every teacher is earnestly recommended to make them subjects of special attention. Let the drill on the elementary sounds be so thorough that every pupil can utter each sound distinctly, and can give the letter and mark which represent it. The work on emphasis, inflection, etc., is only suggestive. Only enough exor cises are given on these subjects to furnish a brief exposition of the principles, and it is the business of the teacher to see that the pupil makes an application of these principles in the daily recita tion.

Excerpt from New American History for Grammar Schools: In Three Parts, I. From the Old World to the New; II. The Birth of the Nation; III. The Nation's Life and Progress But you must remember that so great a thing as the discovery of a new world was not accomplished by one man alone, nor was it accomplished in the single day when Columbus first saw land after his long voyage. Sometimes we' think of it as if a great curtain had been rolled away from before the eyes of Columbus, disclosing the whole continent of America; so that he had only to go home and tell the king of Spain that the New World was discovered. This is a very wrong idea. We must look back many years before the time of Columbus to find the beginning of the great work, and we must study on to a time many years after his death before we can say that Europe had really found America. Years of toil, great sums of money, the suffering and death of many brave men, were necessary before the work was done. And even then it took centuries more to find What the new continent was like, to settle it with white people, and to make it useful to the world.
