About this book
Learning reaches beyond the classroom in George S. Boutwell's essays and addresses on education. Published in 1859 and dedicated to the teachers of Massachusetts, the collection considers how schools, homes, workplaces and public institutions shape knowledge. Its opening lecture argues for a broad understanding of learning that includes observation, experience and practical judgment, alongside languages, science and literature. Boutwell also describes farmers, mechanics and merchants as teachers who continue to be students themselves.
The contents range from elementary teaching and teacher training to girls' education, agricultural education and the Massachusetts School Fund. A later discussion distinguishes a public school from a privately founded academy by examining who establishes and controls it, using Boston Latin School and Dartmouth College as examples.
