Great Inventions
 
PAPER – invented about 100 BC in China, paper has been indispensible 
in allowing us to write down and share our ideas. 
GUNPOWDER – this chemical explosive, invented in China in the 9th 
century, has been a major factor in military technology (and, by 
extension, in wars that changed the course of human history). 
PRINTING PRESS – invented in 1439 by the German Johannes 
Gutenberg, this device in many ways laid the foundation for our modern 
age. It allowed ink to be transferred from the movable type to paper in a 
mechanized way. This revolutionized the spread of knowledge and 
religion as previously books were generally hand-written (often by 
monks). ELECTRICITY – utilization of electricity is a process to which 
a number of bright minds have contributed over thousands of years, 
going all the way back to Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece, when 
Thales of Miletus conducted the earliest research into the phenomenon. 
The 18th-century American Renaissance man Benjamin Franklin is 
generally credited with significantly furthering our understanding of 
electricity, if not its discovery. It’s hard to overestimate how important 
electricity has become to humanity as it runs the majority of our 
gadgetry and shapes our way of life. The invention of the light bulb, 
although a separate contribution, attributed to Thomas Edison in 1879, is 
certainly a major extension of the ability to harness electricity. It has 
profoundly changed the way we live, work as well as the look and 
functioning of our cities

Who is the Greatest Teacher in History?
 
William McGuffey 
Another teacher, who, like Montessori, was able to develop his theories about child 
education into a workable practical system, was William Holmes McGuffey. His 
series of readers would have a profound impact on education in America and on 
educational books in general. William McGuffey was born in 1800 and was a 
precocious child. He was such an adept student, in fact, that he began to teach 
classes himself at the age of 14. Putting in long hours at country school houses in 
Ohio and Kentucky, McGuffey saw that there was no standard method to teach 
students how to read; in most cases, the Bible was the only book available. 
McGuffey paused his teaching career to attend college himself, and by age 26, he 
had been appointed Professor of Languages at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. 
His ideas about language teaching were much admired by his colleagues, and in 
1835, through the intercession of his friend Harriet Beecher Stowe, he was asked to 
write a series of readers for the publisher Truman and Smith. 
McGuffey’s readers, more correctly known as Eclectic Readers, set a template for 
textbooks that we still follow today. They followed a steady progression from the 
first reader through the fourth, beginning with teaching of the alphabet and phonics 
alongside simple sentences, and progressing all of the way up to poems and stories. 
Vocabulary was often taught in context rather than as lists of words, and questions 
after the stories, as well as read-alouds, encouraged students to interact with what 
they read. The content was lively and the presentation crisp.
