"The Coming School."

WHAT ELSE IS TO MOLD

THE COMING MAN?

A lively picture of the "New Education," with:

An earnest exposition of its aims;

An animated argument for its encouragement;

A popular treatment of its philosophy;

An explanation of the failures of formal education; in short,

A HUMAN VIEW OF TEACHING

Is set forth in a little volume, entitled "The Coming School."
Authorized by sixteen years of experience in public school teaching.
The result of an extended observation of all sorts and conditions of
schools.

Inspired by the very evident possibilities in the future development of
American schools,

Prompted by an interior view of the causes that retard school progress.

ISSUED IN THE SPRING OF '89:

During the following Summer the Newspapers rang with it.

From the New York World.

"Packed full of common sense and practical suggestions with regard to the proper methods of teaching children."

From the New York Tribune.

"We can recommend the perusal of Miss Kenyon's brochure very cordially, There is no danger that there will be too much of this kind of literature, but a good deal of danger that the truth of the situation will be overlooked.'
