Methods Of Teaching Patriotism In The Public Schools: Being An Extract From An Address Delivered Before The Teachers Of The Children's Aid Society Of - Paperback

""Methods of Teaching Patriotism in the Public Schools"" is a book written by George Thacher Balch and published in 1890. The book is an extract from an address that the author delivered before the teachers of the Children's Aid Society of the City of New York. The main focus of the book is to provide guidance on how to teach patriotism in public schools. Balch argues that it is the responsibility of educators to instill a love for one's country in their students, and he provides practical methods for achieving this goal. The book covers a range of topics, including the importance of teaching history, the use of patriotic songs and symbols, and the role of civic education in promoting patriotism. Balch's ideas are rooted in the belief that a strong sense of patriotism is essential for the well-being of a nation, and that public schools have a crucial role to play in fostering this sentiment. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the educational philosophy of the late 19th century, and it remains a valuable resource for educators and historians interested in the history of American education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
