Teachers Manual For The Public Schools Of Puerto Rico Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Teachers Manual For The Public Schools Of Puerto Rico The purpose of this Manual is to place in the hands of the teachers and school officials of this Island a brief account in Spanish of the educational thought and literature and of the system of school organization at present prevailing in the United States. Investigation showed that this could be done more economically through a publication issued by this office than by the translation of several already existing educational works. Of course such a compendium cannot be exhaustive. Many chapters are largely compilations. The educational literature and the official reports of the States and, to some extent, of Europe, have been drawn upon so far as they were available in the library hastily gathered together by this department during the last few months. Our indebtedness to these works is too broad to make practicable a special acknowledgment in each individual instance. Defects, omissions, and repetitions will doubtless appear even to the cursory reader. The book has been dictated with many interruptions, in the midst of the multitude of other office duties attending the reorganization of the school system of this Island. The publication of the book in New York city has rendered it impossible for us to revise the proofs. Literary features and finish have been subordinated to the urgent practical demands of the situation here.
