| Summary | "Report of the Committee of Fifteen" by W. T. Harris, A. S. Draper, and H. S. Tarbell is a detailed educational report written in the late 19th century. This work discusses the principles and methodologies of correlating studies in elementary education, emphasizing the need for a structured curriculum that reflects the natural progression of a child's learning. The committee focuses on various subjects such as language, mathematics, geography, and history, advocating for a holistic educational approach. The opening of this report outlines the committee's views on the correlation of studies, asserting that an effective educational program must consider the logical arrangement of topics and the psychological development of students. The authors introduce their understanding of the correlation between different branches of studies, suggesting that each subject should not only stand alone but also relate to a child's experiences and the world around them. They argue that education should train students in practical skills and civic duties while also fostering a comprehensive understanding of human knowledge and cultural heritage. The report sets the stage for a deeper examination of the specific educational practices and subjects that contribute to a balanced and enriching curriculum.
