Description: Originally published in 1920, this is a later printing. From the foreword: ''This book is offered as practical help to teachers, supervisors, principals, and superintendents in the improvement of the elementary school curriculum. The extended discussion of questions concerning the elimination of undesirable material and the introduction of much desirable new material has created a genuine need for a thoroughgoing constructive revision of the curriculum. Such a revision requires the development of fundamental principles of selection, related vitally on the one hand to the aims and activities of life, and on the other to the nature and needs of children. The first eight chapters of this book are devoted to the development of such principles. The second part of the book makes application of these principles in offering a suggestive curriculum.''
