Book excerpt: Excerpt from Supervised Study a Discussion of the Study Lesson, in High School Supervised study, I hold, is concerned not so much with hearing lessons as with learning lessons. The teacher who is trying to teach her pupils how to study is not interested in memory feats. Recitation periods we must have, of course, for reviews are essential and summaries are indispensable. But with a thoroughly organized supervision of study the teacher will hnd less need of the old-time recitation. She will find in the study-period ample ground for class marks. From one angle, supervised study is simply an elaborate and cooperative assignment. The next lesson is made so clear and so much time is given each pupil to grasp its details that every one has a maximum chance to learn the lesson. This is fair to the pupil. Nothing is gained by an austere and autocratic attitude on the part of the teacher. Knowledge is not esoteric or aristocratic. It belongs to everybody and every one ought to have an opportunity to get as much of it as possible. Teaching is not telling or testing it is guiding and helping others to get knowledge.
