By Randall Neefus Saunders

Book Overview

The Teacher And The Times is a book written by Randall Neefus Saunders and first published in 1911. The book is a collection of essays that reflect on the state of education in America during the early 20th century. Saunders, who was a teacher and educational administrator, offers his thoughts on various topics related to education, including the role of the teacher, the importance of discipline, the need for vocational training, and the challenges facing rural schools. In the book, Saunders argues that teachers have a crucial role to play in shaping the future of America, and that they should be respected and supported in their work. He also emphasizes the importance of discipline and order in the classroom, and suggests that teachers should be trained to be effective disciplinarians. Saunders also addresses the issue of vocational education, arguing that it is essential for students to receive training in practical skills that will prepare them for the workforce. He suggests that schools should offer courses in agriculture, manual arts, and home economics, among other subjects. Finally, Saunders discusses the challenges facing rural schools, which often lack the resources and funding of their urban counterparts. He suggests that the government should provide more support to rural schools, and that teachers should be trained to work in these environments. Overall, The Teacher And The Times is a thought-provoking book that offers insights into the state of education in America during the early 20th century.
