Product Information

Excerpt from The Three R's: Improvement in Them Place in Present Course of Study; Cleveland Public Schools To the Horable Board of Education: - Changes in the social, industrial, and commercial life of our city suggest that certain adjustments might be made in our elementary schools, to the end of adapting their work still further to the needs of the whole community. Whatever modifications might be made in the character of the elementary instruction given the youth of the community, whether they be destined for higher academic institutions or for early entrance upon life-pursuit, must take into account that there are certain studies essential in the education of all. These branches are reading, spelling, writing, and arithmetic - the so-called three Rs, and their place in the school must be guaranteed and must be made secure against all other claims. That changes which it may seem advisable to make in the present course of study might in way endanger the rightful position of the three Rs and particularly in view of the fact that the work of the Cleveland schools in these subjects is sometimes criticized, it was deemed wise to make clear the position w occupied in the program of studies by these branches and to make sure of the efficiency of our children in them. To this end certain investigations were undertaken, the results of which, report is herewith respectfully made: During Colonial times and the first years of our national existence, industrial and social conditions were simple. Agriculture was the chief occupation; a few followed hand trades; of business there was little, and there were only the beginnings of manufacture and of commerce. The people as a whole lived on farms or in rural groups, and mingled on terms of relative equality. Of the professions there were but the lawyer and the minister, all others were, in broad terms, laborers. Under these conditions, the work of the elementary school was grasped in a simple and definite way. The school existed to teach reading, spelling, writing, and arithmetic. These branches were viewed as the essentials, as they t only supplied the keys to learning, but served the practical purposes of the parent and the citizen.
