Education Of The Pueblo Child: A Study In Arrested Development is a book written by Frank Clarence Spencer and originally published in 1899. The book is a study of the education of Pueblo Indian children in New Mexico during the late 19th century. The author was a teacher who spent several years living among the Pueblo people and observing their educational practices. The book examines the ways in which the Pueblo children were educated, including their traditional methods of learning and the ways in which they were taught by the American government. Spencer argues that the American educational system was not well-suited to the needs of the Pueblo children and that it often led to a state of ''arrested development'' in which the children were unable to fully engage with their own culture or to adapt to American society. Spencer also discusses the role of religion in Pueblo education, including the importance of the kiva, a sacred space where children were taught traditional beliefs and practices. He argues that the American government’s attempts to suppress Pueblo religion and culture were harmful to the children’s development and ultimately counterproductive. Overall, Education Of The Pueblo Child: A Study In Arrested Development provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of education among the Pueblo people and raises important questions about the relationship between education, culture, and identity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
