Excerpt from Teachers Manual of Primary Methods The social and economic changes of the last few decades have weakened the home and placed a new burden upon the school. In the industrial home of the past the child received a sensory-motor training which formed the basis of his education. The school was called upon to add the formal elements only. In the olden days the child was called upon to contribute through his industry in many home occupations to the support of the family, to-day, he is deprived, for the most part, of the opportunity to grow in usefulness and independence. The school must meet these new needs of the children: and the burden in this respect falls heaviest on the primary grades. The food material for the minds and hearts of the children that was formerly supplied by the home must now be furnished in the school. Old methods no longer suffice. The scientific achievements which have so profoundly changed the adult world must also be made to furnish forth the means whereby the school will be enabled to adjust the child to his new environment. It is a mistake to suppose that the teacher is the only factor in the educative process affected by these changes. Her methods must be transformed so as to meet the present needs, but it is still more important that the text-book which is placed in the hands of the children should conform strictly to the same requirements of method.
