Description

Improvements in Education: As It Respects The Industrious Classes Of The Community is a book written by Joseph Lancaster in 1805. The book focuses on the importance of education for the working class and the ways in which it can be improved. Lancaster was a pioneer in the field of education and his methods were widely adopted in England and America. In this book, he argues that education should be accessible to all, regardless of social class or wealth. He also proposes a system of education that is based on the use of monitors, which are students who are trained to teach their peers. This system was known as the Lancasterian method and was widely used in schools throughout the 19th century. The book also discusses the importance of discipline and order in the classroom, as well as the role of the teacher in guiding and supporting students. Overall, Improvements in Education is an important historical text that sheds light on the early development of modern education systems and the efforts to make education accessible to all members of society.Containing, Among Other Important Particulars, An Account Of The Institution For The Education Of One Thousand Poor Children.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
