Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Supervised Study as a Means of Providing Supplementary Individual Instruction
A defect of this system was the tendency to spend too much effort upon class organization and to overlook the individual. However, it brought about a radical improvement in the methods of school manage ment. During the nineteenth century the individual method was replaced by the class method. Being not only superior to the common methods of instruction in its effectiveness, but being also a very economical system, the monitorial form of the class method was adopted in the United States in 1806 by the Free School Society of New York City, and was used in other large cities during the first quarter of the nineteenth century.
