Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The "Quincy Methods" Illustrated: Pen Photographs From the Quincy Schools
In the preparation of this volume aid has been obtained from many sources. No words can express the value of the inspiration and instruction derived from many years' study of Col. Parker's matchless work. He has ever seemed the greatest of living teachers. The superintendent and teachers of Quincy* have rendered the author indispensable aid, and to them grateful thanks are rendered. The advice and suggestions of. Prof. Thomas W. Balliet and Miss Mary A. Spear, of the Cook County Normal School - the latter for merly of Quincy - have been invaluable.
The writer has had before her continually that vast number of teachers who believe that education is the realization of the highest possibilities of the child, and who are working unceasingly to make it such to them she dedicates this book.
Only five of those whose lessons are reported in this book are left in Quincy.
