Excerpt from Nineteenth Yearbook of the National Society for the Study of Education: Part I, New Materials of Instruction Prepared by the Society's Committee on New Materials of Instruction
Teachers very seldom think of it as part of their duty to find and prepare for use in class work new materials for instruction. They are for the most part mere distributors of the knowledge which they themselves were taught in school or of such knowledge as they can easily find in standard textbooks.
Indeed, it is possible to find cases in which a teacher limits the work of pupils to a study of what is contained in a single text. Even the order of presentation of topics and the method of presenting material sometimes follow strictly the suggestions of the textbook so that the teacher becomes a mere imitation.
