Excerpt from Supervised Study a Discussion of the Study Lesson, in High School Interest in supervised study has become so general within the last few years that the time seems ripe for the appearance of a discussion that seeks to define this new method of teaching. The following chapters aim (1) to formulate a tentative conception of supervised study; (2) to indicate what should be included in a course on teaching the high school pupil how to study; (3) to describe in detail the various schemes of organization by which the supervision of study is administered in a large number of schools; (4) to apply the principles and methods of supervised study to some of the subjects in the high school program;(5) to summarize the results of the more significant investigations aiming to prove the effectiveness of supervised study; (6) to collect the data on supervised study that have appeared in several periodicals within the last five years and which may not have been accessible to the majority of teachers. I have sought to avoid theory as much as possible. Wherever theoretical discussions are introduced I have been guided by observations made in a number of high schools where this method is well established. The book aims to be practical. It is a reflection of things as they now are. It may seem to many teachers that some of the discussions are really treatments of the well-known recitation.
