Excerpt from The Instructor's Manual: Or Lectures on School-Keeping

The rising generation, like clay in the hand of the potter, are readily moulded into almost any Shape, and will certainly take the form, adopt the principles, and fall into the habits which the all fashioning power of education comprehending under that term whatever in the world around Operates on the mind or heart Shall give them. Of the direct and overwhelming interest which all have in this subject, it is not easy to imagine, much less to speak. The whole future condition of the rising generations, in all their mental, social, and moral interests, their present and future joys and sorrows, is involved in it. Even those of us who are now on the stage, are scarcely less inter ested in it for in a few years more, if alive, we must be thrown upon them for every enlightened and kind attention which the debilities Of growing age will make necessary and comforting to us. Nor will it stop with us. It reaches forward to gen erations still to come, whose mental acquirements, whose social feelings, whose moral principles, whose religious institutions, literary advantages, and civil rights, to a very important extent, must be handed down by those who came before them.

On a subject whose influence is so deep, wide, and stirring, it is not possible we should feel too absorbing an interest, or direct our thoughts and inquiries too frequently to it. And I cannot help considering it among the most encouraging circum stances of the present day, that there has been called up so general and Operative attention to this subject.

Excerpt from The Instructor's Manual: Or Lectures on School-Keeping

Young Ladies and Gentlemen:

You have assumed, or expect soon to assume, the responsibilities of superintending the education of children and youth in the various schools demanding your services. As you direct your thoughts to that field of labor, nothing is more natural than an inquiry, What are the duties, what the trials and difficulties, what the pleasures and awards, of our vocation?

In the following Lectures, it has been my purpose, in a very familiar manner, to discuss all these and kindred topics. Permit the remark here, that for what I attempt to impart to you, I am myself indebted principally to experience. When I entered the same field of labor, in 1816, there was scarcely a paragraph in the weekly newspaper, and not a single book or even tract within my knowledge, intended to aid the teacher, in knowing how to instruct and govern a school. Nor was there at that time a Teacher's Institute or Normal School within the United States, or even Europe.
