ALL BIGHTS RESERVED. MEAE FILIOLAB CARISSIMAE, CORDELIAE BARTLETTO. PREFACE This little Suggestion Note-Book was prepared by the author for his own use in England and on the Continent as the representative of the Cincinnati High Schools on the trip so carefully and generously ar- ranged by The National Civic Federation, The Table of Contents was examined and approved by the other Cin- cinnati representatives and at their request carbon copies were made for them. Others who saw these original type-written copies urged the author to have the work published. Hence this modest effort. A brief bibliography of good books — twenty-five titles — upon the educational systems of England, France, and Germany is subjoined. Especial attention might well be given to the first two or three of each list. ENGLAND.

MISCELLANEOUS 236-250 XXVI INTRODUCTION Since the object of note-taking is to secure a correct record of new and valuable information, it is not sur- prising that the practice is of ancient origin. Even shorthand, the most helpful hand-maid to note-taking, ante-dates the Christian era by many centuries. The Greeks regarded Xenophon as the inventor of it, and there is good reason to suppose that his Memorabilia owed much to its use. The Romans probably derived it, as they did many other things, from the Greeks, though some Roman writers give Cicero's freedman. Tiro, the credit of inventing it. At any rate, for centuries after him practically the only system in use was the Tironian. In a somewhat modified form it was employed by Julius Caesar, Augustus, Vespasian, and others. Seneca, the philosopher, and Pliny, the naturalist, are said to have used it extensively. Shorthand simplifies note-taking and is, on the whole, much easier, for through its use every word in a lec- ture or a recitation may be recorded, whereas in note- taking in longhand only essentials can be taken down — to determine which is often quite a difficult task. In fact, note-taking is an art and ought to receive more attention in the last years of the high school or at least in the first year of college. So defective, indeed, did the Superintendent and Board of Examiners of the City of New York find the note-taking of teachers, that they issued a special circular, which is given here with some modifications for the benefit of teachers using this book. A well-constructed note-book, says the circular, ex- xxvii INTRODUCTION. hibits, above all, the characteristics of (i) selection, (2) subordination, (3) condensation and (4) original- ity. First, selection. There are many things in a reci- tation or a lecture, or in connection with the more ma- terial sides of educational institutions, that have no place in a note-book; as, for example, the introductory or explanatory matter of lectures or the number of bricks or feet of lumber in a building. These are matters of concern to the lecturer or to the builder but are of little interest to the average teacher. . Sec- ond, subordination. In any exposition, there are main heads and subordinate heads. These must be care- fully discriminated. In this work the author has tried to afford some help along this line. Third, condensa- tion. A note-book must in the nature of the case be an epitome. The best notes are taken by those who pos- sess the ability to see the salient points of a statement or of a process, or the distinguishing features of a building, and make the briefest possible records that will enable them to recall these at any time in the future. Fourth, originality. The best note-books do not contain the exact words of the speaker or writer or too minute a description of anything, but are the records of the note-taker's reflections upon the ob- served facts. The value of this process depends upon the value and accuracy of his knowledge and previous experience. The main thing is to avoid servile imi- tation. It is the object of this note-book to make the note-taker's task somewhat easier. Over five hundred topics have been suggested. It is not expected that each topic will be written upon in the case of every school, but it is hoped that there will be found a place in it for anything of which any teacher may wish to make a note. If it fulfills this end, the author will be repaid for the work he has put upon it. Although suggestions have been received from many teachers, special thanks are due to Dr. Elmer Ellsworth xxviii INTRODUCTION. Brown, U. S. Commissioner of Education, Dr. Henry W. Holmes, of the Division of Education, Harvard College, Dr. Nathaniel Butler, Dean of the College of Education, University of Chicago, Professor W. P. Burris, Dean of the College for Teachers, University of Cincinnati, and to my publishers, Messrs. Johnson & Hardin, whose care and patience have won my un- qualified admiration, for help in many different ways. Most of the topics under Headings XV. and XVI. were suggested by Professor Herman Schneider, Dean of the Engineering College of the University of Cincinnati and inventor of what is known as the Cincinnati Co-operative Plan of Education.
