Publisher's Synopsis
Suggestive Hints Towards Improved Secular Instruction: Making It Bear Upon Practical Life is a book written by Richard Dawes and first published in 1857. The book is a guide for educators and parents on how to improve secular education by making it more practical and applicable to everyday life. Dawes argues that traditional methods of education, which focus solely on academic subjects, are insufficient in preparing children for the challenges of the real world. He suggests that educators should incorporate practical skills, such as budgeting, cooking, and basic home repairs, into the curriculum to better equip students for adult life. The book is divided into chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of practical education. Dawes provides detailed suggestions and examples for how to incorporate these skills into the classroom or home environment. Overall, Suggestive Hints Towards Improved Secular Instruction is a pioneering work in the field of practical education and remains relevant today for those interested in improving the way we teach children.Intended For The Use Of Schoolmasters And Teachers In Our Elementary Schools.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
