Political Economy for High Schools and Academies (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from Political Economy for High Schools and Academies

In using the book teachers will deal with the Notes in small print according to their judgment. They contain matters which I thought the student should know oi, but which it is not necessary for him to study. I would suggest that in no case should the words printed in Italics be passed, until it is known that the class has a clear sense of their meaning.

Excerpt from Political Economy for High Schools and Academies

This work is the result of twenty-five years of experience in teaching the subject in the University of Pennsylvania, in the Ogontz School for Young Ladies, in the Central High School of Philadelphia, and in University Extension courses delivered in Philadelphia and the adjacent towns and cities. In this prolonged practice I have aimed at acquiring clearness and conciseness, without coming down to twaddle and commonplace. My experience at Ogontz has been of especial value to me in this respect, as it was there that I learned to adjust teaching to the understanding of younger students, without insulting their intelligence by "talking down" to them. That lesson I found just as useful in addressing the more miscellaneous audiences, young and old, trained and untrained, which University Extension work brings together.

The book presents the views of Political Economy which are held by the American or National School of List and Carey. I leave it to be judged whether these or the rival doctrines of the English or Orthodox School - whether as originally taught, or as modified by what is called the Historical School - are most in harmony with the experience of mankind and the needs of our own country.
