notes: label: Description
content: School Management was designed for use both as a text and as a reference for teachers, parents, and school officers. Among the topics covered are: hygiene, grading, study aids, ethics, and punishments. It is purportedly based on the successful experience of teachers in the United States and other countries. The recommendations conform to the conventional wisdom of the late 19th Century, some of which is sadly outdated. For example, the chapter on School Government states: "When disobedience is willful the punishment should be severe. Where pupils openly disregard and defy authority corporal punishment is justifiable, and it may be applied if the teacher possess the necessary physical strength."
