Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from First Report of the Cook County Schools, 1862
It is not my purpose, in this Report, to present elaborate theories or lengthy philosophical discussions, but merely to give a few practical hints to teachers and school officers. In my official connection with the schools of the county for the last three years, I have observed some hindrances to good teaching, and what I conceive to be errors in modes of conducting schools. It will be my aim to correct some of these. This Report will therefore necessarily consist mostly of suggestions, which I have tried to make plain, brief, and pointed.
For the convenience of reference and use, I have divided it into topics.
At the close is added a carefully prepared statistical table of the schools of the county.
