The American Secondary School and Some of Its Problems (Classic Reprint)
(Excerpt from The American Secondary School and Some of It...)
Excerpt from The American Secondary School and Some of Its Problems As for the present treatise, its title speaks for itself. It has been realized by the author that it is wiser to concentrate attention upon some of the problems of the secondary school and indicate their significance rather fully, than to compass all, or even a majority, of the questions that attach themselves to our system of middle schools. He has subordinated all questions of method. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Syllabus of a General Course on the Theory and Practice of Teaching in the Secondary School (Classic Reprint)
(The accompanying syllabus indicates the series of topics ...)
The accompanying syllabus indicates the series of topics treated in a General Course on Secondary Education. It does not profess to cover every question that may be legitimately related to the field of inquiry; and the outline here offered is to be considered primarily suggestive of the trend pursued. The references to the literature of the subject make no claim to completeness ;the books and articles quoted have helped in a positive and negative sense to mold the views set forth in the lectures; if to some readers there appears more than the usual attention to works in foreign languages, it may at least remind students of education, how valuable an acquisition to them the mastery of German and French is likely to be. At the same time a valuable opportunity for comparison of foreign and American methods of investigation is afforded which will enable us to appreciate a number of careful recent American studies. In the second half of the course several of the leading subjects taught in Secondary Schools are taken up individually; and the various tendencies reflected in the teaching of them are brought to the notice of students, together with a survey of the methods that have been and are now applied by prominent teachers. In the actual conduct of the course similar outlines are offered for the Mathematics, the Natural Sciences, Manual Training, etc. From the many articles on method that constantly appear in educational journals, and from the more comprehensive treatises, it was necessary to make a restricted choice which naturally reflects personal judgments. :CONGRESS Two Cotps Received JUN 2d WW n Copynent Entry CLASS A AX cN (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

Julius Sachs
Edit ProfileEducation
After studying in Germany at the universities of Worzburg, Berlin, Gottingen, and Rostock from 1867 to 1871, he returned to America with the degree of Ph. D. from Rostock.
Career
In 1871, in a deliberate attempt to raise the standard of secondary education in the United States, he established a preparatory school in New York City, the Sachs Collegiate Institute School of Boys.
His "Observations on Plato's Cratylus" (Transactions of the American Philological Association, 1878) was the first of a long series of learned articles, the most notable being "Observations on Lucian" (Ibid. , 1880), "Notes on Homeric Zoology" (Ibid. , 1886), and "Echoes of Greek Epic Poetry in Vase Paintings" (a lecture delivered before the New York Society of the Archaeological Institute of America, Mar. 6, 1893). He also contributed many articles on educational subjects to the Educational Review from 1905 to 1918.
In 1912 he published a very complete study, The American Secondary School and Some of Its Problems. His career seems almost consciously to have been shaped on that of Hermann Sauppe of Gottingen, under whose influence he had come in 1869. Throughout the years his leadership as a teacher and scholar was clearly recognized by his election to head the Schoolmasters' Association of New York, 1889, the American Philological Association, 1890-91, the Headmasters' Association of the United States, 1899, and the New York Society of the Archaeological Institute of America, 1900-03.
In 1902 he was invited to join the faculty of Teachers College in Columbia University as professor of secondary education, an opportunity greatly to extend his influence. His success in this work until his retirement in 1917 is amply attested by numbers of mature students and especially by very sincere tributes at the time of his death from President Nicholas Murray Butler, Dean Frederick J. E. Woodbridge, and others.
Achievements
-
He founded Sachs Collegiate Institute, of which he remained the head for more than thirty years. His institute had a widespread influence on American educational standards and methods. It was not only a model school for boys but also a training school for teachers under wise and considerate leadership. There was no paltering with educational nostrums, no attempt merely to interest a student, but a sincere belief that the only durable satisfaction for the student is proportional to his own thoughtful labor. Sachs's own scholarly investigations were not made impossible by his other activities. Besides, he was appointed Professor of Education at Teachers College, Columbia University. His famous works: The American Secondary School and Some of Its Problems, History of Botany.
