FOREWORD
Among the exhibits at the St. Louis and Portland Expositions was one from the Stockton Schools. It was so arranged as to show in the smallest possible compass as complete a picture of the development of the course of study as could be presented in written form. The work in all bound volumes was shown in the following sequence:
1. A typewritten monograph, or method sheet, treating of the subject illustrated in the volume.
2. The course of study in the subject in printed form.
3. The teacher's daily program.
4. Work from the pupils, showing all the written lessons given in the subject from the first lesson in September to the last lesson in June.
Under this arrangement the methods followed, the course of study to be carried out, the time value of every subject, the results secured, were shown in every volume. There were ninety-two monographs, or method sheets, illustrating fully the methods followed in the different subjects taught. In all cases these monographs were written by the principals or teachers.
These volumes of method sheets, illustrated as they were with the results secured from pupils, met with a generous commendation from the teachers of America. Since the close of the Expositions hundreds of letters have been received asking if the Stockton methods could be secured in printed form. To meet what seemed to be a real demand, it was decided to issue " The Book of Stockton Methods."
The labor of editing the monographs was committed to Mrs. Rosa V. Winterburn, under whose skillful direction as Supervisor of the Primary and Grammar Schools of Stockton much of the work has been developed. From this proposed editing of teachers' and pupils' work the present more ambitious book has grown, in which are given many experiences and suggestions that were not embodied in the original plan. In the use of the teachers' monographs repetition has been avoided and in many cases the methods have been condensed, but the thought and the wording have been preserved in so far as practicable.
The book does not pretend to be an answer to the question, " What are the best methods of teaching?" It does seek to show what is being actually done by teachers under working conditions when they strive intelligently to make their methods rational and useful. No claim is made that the methods given in this book are models for others to follow; but it is claimed that they are methods of practice rather than of theory. As such they are submitted to the teachers of America.
JAS. A. BARR, City Superintendent of Schools. STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA, June 1, 1906.
