Excerpt from Motor Work and Formal Studies: A Provisional Syllabus for the First Three Primary Grades

Among the research problems that have been undertaken by the advanced students of the Department Of Education, University Of Maine, an investigation of the suitable content of instruction for the first three primary grades when motor activities are given precedence in the course, has proved very suggestive, and no apology seems meces sary for giving it the wider Circulation Of print. Our studies in psychology clearly indicated that the young child develops through activity, particularly through motor activity, and that the facts Of instruction aid in his development only so far as they suggest, or contribute, material for various ordered activities. The correlation Of these activities with the instruction necessary in pri mary grades presented so many problems that a careful analysis of the desired activities and of the subjects Of formal instruction was undertaken. With this analysis as our guide, it seemed practicable so to combine the two that each should reinforce the other in the daily program of the school. The syllabus here offered is the product of our effort to secure such a combination that the motor work shall reveal to the child the significance of the facts learned, and the instruction shall unfold to him continuously the possible advances in his activities.
