Excerpt from Métodos de Instruccion
LA instruccion, como ciencia, comprende las leyes referentes a la constitucion física y mental del hombre, y á sus relaciones con aquellos medios por los cuales puede recibir enseñanza y cultura.
La Instruccion, como arte, consiste en escoger y aplicar los medios para comunicar los conocimientos.
Lo mismo que otras ciencias, la instruccion puede estudiarse; y, como en las demas artes, la habilidad adquirida y la aptitud natural son indispensables para lograr buen éxito. Si se ha de conocer la ciencia y po scerse el arte de enseñar, es desde luego evidente, que se necesita preparacion especial pero como esto se ha puesto en duda, parece del caso hacer la presentacion de esta obra por medio de algunas consideraciones á su favor.

Excerpt from Spanish Pastoral Drama
IN the belief that a fairly intensive study must be made of the various types of Spanish dramatic literature of the six teenth century before we can properly appreciate the import ance of Lope de Vega and his contemporaries, I have here attempted to treat in some detail the development of the pas toral drama in Spain. I have included in the first chapter only the material which seemed necessary in order to show the sources from which the early plays of Enzina were derived and I have disregarded the comic scenes found in so many plays in which shepherds take part, since these belong, in my opinion, to the history of the farce. In the last chapter, I have merely tried to study pastoral themes up to the time when they were fused into the mythological and lyrical drama by Calderc'm de la Barca. I gratefully acknowledge my indebted ness to my friend and colleague, Dr. Hugo Albert Rennert, for valuable suggestions and criticisms.

Excerpt from A History of Education in Pennsylvania: Private and Public, Elementary and Higher, From the Time the Swedes Settled on the Delaware to the Present Day
The present History was begun many years ago, and has cost a vast amount of labor. That it is correct in all its details, covering as they do a history of two hundred and fifty years, is not to be expected, the sins of omission in particular must be numerous, and some of them may appear inexcusable; but it is believed that the narrative presents, as a whole, a fair picture of what has been done in Pennsylvania to educate the people. At least an honest, patient effort has been made to accomplish that end.

James Pyle Wickersham was an American educator and author in the state of Pennsylvania .
Background
James Pyle Wickersham was born on March 5, 1825 in Newlin Township, Chester County, Pa. , the son of Caleb and Abigail Swayne (Pyle) Wickersham, and a descendant of Thomas Wickersham who settled in Chester County in 1701. He grew up on his father's farm.
Education
He attended the local district school and Unionville Academy.
Career
To earn the expenses of his tuition at the academy, he taught school in the winter of 1841-42 at Brandywine Manor and in 1843 near Paoli. From 1843 to 1845 he was an assistant teacher at the academy. Abandoning his plan to prepare for the practice of law in deference to the religious views of his parents, who were Friends, he accepted an appointment in 1845 as headmaster of the academy at Marietta, Pa. , and within a few years became the principal owner. In 1854 he was elected first county superintendent of schools in Lancaster County. Later in that year he organized the first state convention of county superintendents and presented his plan of developing a uniform system of school administration. He was chiefly instrumental in the enactment of the school laws of 1854, which provided for the appointment of county superintendents. A county teachers' institute at Millersville Academy, which he established in the spring of 1855, was incorporated in the fall as the Lancaster County Normal School, and in the following year Wickersham resigned the county superintendency to become principal. He urged the establishment of a system of state normal schools and assisted in framing the normal school law of 1857. Under his administration the institution at Millersville became the first state normal school in Pennsylvania (1859) and was a noted center for the training of teachers. During the Civil War Wickersham raised a regiment, which included more than one hundred students and instructors of the Millersville State Normal School. Commissioned colonel of the 47th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Emergency Militia, July 9, 1863, he served until his command was mustered out, August 14, 1863. He was one of the organizers of the Lancaster County Educational Association (1851), the Pennsylvania State Teachers' Association (1852), and the National Teachers' Association (later the National Education Association), all of which he served as president. In 1870 and 1879 he served as president of the department of school superintendence of the National Education Association. In 1866 he was appointed state superintendent of common schools. During his administration, he effected a classification of all the educational institutions in the state and a closer union among them, better grading of schools, more complete supervision, and increased provision for improving the qualifications of teachers. By 1874 he had succeeded in having a school established in every district in Pennsylvania. He wrote the educational provisions of the state constitution of 1874, and established the school department as one of the five constitutional departments of the state government. In 1864 he brought about the establishment of the Soldiers' Orphans Schools, which provided homes and education for children orphaned by the Civil War. He was editor and part owner of the Pennsylvania School Journal from 1870 to 1881. In 1878, at the request of the governor, he visited various European schools, and was awarded a medal at the Paris Exposition for his exhibit of state school reports, laws, and other documents. On resigning the state superintendency in 1881, he devoted himself to writing, and to the management of the Inquirer Printing and Publishing Company, Lancaster, Pa. , of which he had been president since its organization in 1873. His publications include School Economy (1864), Methods of Instruction (1865), and A History of Education in Pennsylvania (1886). He was appointed chargé d'affaires of the United States to Denmark on May 1, 1882, and minister resident and consul general on July 13, 1882. He resigned, August 21, 1882, because of his wife's ill health. He died in Lancaster.
