Excerpt from Object Teaching: A Lecture

E ngland after were no object lessons at all. In those 1839. Parochial schools that were started during the past century all over England, they thought nothing whatever about science; and indeed, at the commencement of the operations of the Na tional Society, and of the British and Foreign School Society, little was cared about natural knowledge. In the training colleges it was not taught. The Home and Colonial Training College paid a good deal of attention, even in its earlier years, to natural history; and in their Model School they sought through visible objects and questions to cultivate the senses of the children, and to give a practical tend ency to all they acquired. This was in 1839. After wards the Home and Colonial Society produced va rious works on the subject, and obtained a pre-emi nence for this kind of teaching through the senses.
