Description

Volume III explores the basic units in the educational system: student, teacher, and school. It examines the aims of education, historically and philosophically, and describes the development of various types of schools. The book provides an analysis of the use of educational media, a description of school buildings and equipment, among many other topics. An important part of the volume is a description of the evolution of the curriculum from the nineteenth century, with a detailed analysis of the changes made in such areas as science, the social sciences, and French.

Editorial Reviews

"This scrupulous concern for accuracy coupled with the range of subjects treated explains why Ontario's Educative Society is at the very least an indispensable reference work ... [It] is a monumental study and no one seriously interested in Ontario or Canadian education can afford not to be familiar with the riches it contains."

University of Toronto Quarterly

"Fleming's volumes are without equal, not only in Ontario but across the nation, in their analysis and synthesis of a province's educational development. For all who are interested in any facet of Ontario education, broadly defined, this series will be a ready and authoritative reference."

Education Canada

"... the very weight of the research and its literature and well laid-out presentation makes these volumes invaluable as reference material."
