About This Item
text is clean and unmarked. in a square and tight binding. Volume appears unused. Black and white illustrations throughout. "An analysis of the school textbooks used in the past reveals a truer history of what was taught in the earliest schools than does a study of past educational theories alone. This is particularly true for the early American schools. The teachers in the early days of our country were so meagerly trained and educated that they depended strongly on the textbooks for what to teach and how to teach." p.1.
