Excerpt from Modes of Instruction in Common Schools: Adapted Particularly to Summer Schools
The exercise of singing is not mentioned, but it has already been introduced into some of our schools, and the effect has been such that we are persuaded no long time will elapse before its introduction becomes general.
It will be perceived that some apparatus is necessary for conducting a school on the plan which the following article recommends. Parents should aid the teacher in this respect, furnishing the necessary slates and pencils, letter-blocks, reading-frames, pictures, reading-cards, and whatever the teacher may find occasion to use.
Our school-houses, it is true, are not all so constructed as to afford the best facilities for the exercises proposed; but in the worst house that can be found, these exercises will be far better than the old ones.
