Eclectic
Education
Series
The Eclectic Education
Series (EES) is a set of textbooks which from roughly 1865 to
1915 WAS education in the United
States, almost
exclusively. They were the standard textbooks in many
states and were chosen independently by over 10,000 school
boards as their standard textbooks.
The EES covered every topic. Some of the series are
still household names almost a hundred years after they ceased
being used. These include McGuffey's Readers and Ray's Arithmetics. There were many other
extraordinary series in the EES such as Pinneo's Grammars,Thalheimer's Histories and Norton's Sciences that were used by
countless students.
The books provided schools with a brand they could trust -
the EES. The authors commissioned to do the various line of
textbooks were at the top of their fields. No
expenses were spared in preparing these incredible
textbooks. Original art was
commissioned for them, they were typeset with extraordinary
care. They were refined and honed through multiple revisions
over decades. And they all taught using the same basic
principles. As an added bonus, they were often keyed off the
cornerstone of the series, the McGuffey Readers, so that a book
might say "Use with the 3rd Reader" to give some indication of
its intended proficiency level.
The result? A
hundred million students in one-room schoolhouses got
first-rate educations using the EES - and went on to build and
shape America. People like Theodore Roosevelt, who once
made the public statement that he did not propose to become a
"Meddlesome Matty." This allusion was perfectly clear to the
millions of people who used the McGuffey Readers at any time
after 1853.
So why did the United States stop using them? It is a
sad story: After WWII, John Dewey, the head of the Teachers
College at Columbia University launched an all-out campaign to
"reform" education. Dewey was a humanist, a socialist, and an
atheist. He saw the McGuffey Readers and the entire EES as
threats - they
emphasize patriotism, traditional values, and the
Bible. Dewey believed, in his own
words, that public schools should be the "State established
church." Dewey viciously attacked the textbooks of the day as
"antiquated" and he was able to successfully bring
about their demise, as well as the demise of quality public
education.
