Education -- History
Graves, _During the Transition_ (Macmillan, 1910), chap. XV-XVI;
Monroe, _Text-book_ (Macmillan, 1905), chap. VII. An excellent
interpretative account of the Reformation is that in Adams, G. B.,
_Civilization during the Middle Ages_ (Scribner, 1894), chaps. XVI and
XVII. Painter, F. V. N., furnishes a good translation of _Luther on
Education_ (Lutheran Publication Society, Philadelphia). Richard, J.
W., gives a good account of _Melanchthon, the Protestant Preceptor of
Germany_ (Putnam, 1898), especially chaps. II-IV and VII; Watson, F.,
of _Maturinus Corderius, the Schoolmaster of Calvin_ (School Review,
vol. XII, nos. 4, 7, and 9); Graves, F. P., _Ramus and the Educational
Reformation of the Sixteenth Century_ (Macmillan, 1912) of conditions
in France; and Leach, A. F., of the dissolution acts of Henry VIII and
Edward VI in _English Schools at the Reformation_ (Constable, London,
1896), pp. 58-122. On the side of Catholic education, one should read
Schwickerath, R., _Jesuit Education_ (Herder, St. Louis), chaps.
III-VIII and XV-XVIII; Cadet, F., _Port Royal Education_ (Bardeen,
Syracuse, 1899; George Allen and Co., London) pp. 9-119; and Wilson,
Mrs. R. F., _Christian Brothers_ (London, 1883), which gives an epitome
of Ravelet, A., _Life of La Salle_. The influence of the Reformation
upon the German schools and universities, both Protestant and Catholic,
is shown in Nohle E., _History of the German School System_ (Report
of the United States Commissioner of Education, 1897-98, vol. I), pp.
30-40; and Paulsen, F., _German Education_ (Scribner, 1908), pp. 79-85.
CHAPTER XIV
EARLY REALISM AND THE INNOVATORS
OUTLINE
The intellectual awakening that appeared in the Renaissance and the
Reformation found another avenue for expression in early realism.
This movement had two phases: (1) humanistic realism, which
emphasized the content of classical literature; and (2) social
realism, which strove to adapt education to actual life. But the
two phases generally occurred together, and the classification
of a treatise under one head or the other is largely a matter of
emphasis.
The influence of the two phases was mostly indirect, but through
social realism a special training arose in the _Ritterakademien_
in Germany, while Milton’s humanistic realism was embodied in the
‘academies’ of England, and afterward of America.
