OF SCHOOL MANAGEMENT BY ARNOLD TOMPKINS AUTHOR OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF TEACHING" AND "THE SCIENCE OF DISCOURSE” The School is an organic, spiritual unity. — W. A. JONES GINN & COMPANY BOSTON NEW YORK CHICAGO. LONDON 1 PREFACE. THE nucleus of the following discussion appeared as a chapter in the first edition of "The Philosophy of Teaching." It is now expanded into a companion volume, with a more fundamental setting than at first given; and thus with a scope extended to include management from the kindergarten to the university. Those who wish the easier and the more practical discussion will find it beginning on page 67. It is thought, however, that a patient development from the first will be most satisfactory in the end. The spirit of the book is clearly traceable to contact with W. A. JONES, first president of the Indiana State Normal School. Had it not been for the influence of his class work and his daily practice in management, this book would, perhaps, not have been written; and I can but wish it were a more worthy monument to the memory of the man whose potent ideas stimulated so many to earnest effort in planting fundamental educational doctrines. For wise counsel in the general treatment of the subject I am ever grateful to L. H. JONES, Superintendent of Schools, Cleveland, Ohio. ARNOLD TOMPKINS.
