[COMPLETE] In The School Room by John S Hart - tg

In The School Room by John S. Hart (1810 - 1877).

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: http://librivox.org/in-the-school-room-by-john-s-hart/

In the first place, teaching is not simply telling. A class may be told a thing twenty times over, and yet not know it. Talking to a class is not necessarily teaching. I have known many teachers who were brimful of information, and were good talkers, and who discoursed to their classes with ready utterance a large part of the time allotted to instruction; yet an examination of their classes showed little advancement in knowledge. ( Summary by John S Hart )

1. How to claim a part, and "how it all works" here To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you would like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
2. New to recording? Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
3. Is there a deadline? We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen.Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline.
4. Where do I find the text? Source text (please only read from this text!): http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/31067
5. Please claim sections (the numbers in the first column below)! If this is your first recording, please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog.
  
  Prospective Prooflisteners: Please read the Listeners Wanted FAQ before listening! Level of prooflistening requested: standard
  
  Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

    "End of In The School Room, by John S. Hart. "
  There should be 5 seconds silence at the end of the recording, or 10 seconds for files longer than 30 minutes.
  
  Please remember to check this thread frequently for updates!
8. AFTER recording
  Need noise-cleaning?
  Listen to your file through headphones. If you can hear some constant background noise (hiss/buzz), you may want to clean it up a bit. The new (free) version 1.3.3. of Audacity has much improved noise-cleaning. See this LibriVox wiki page for a complete guide.

Hi this is an abandoned project which I have decided to bring back to life. Please could you move over the original MW thanks.

I will be DPL on this project thanks.

This is set up. A few comments:

- The files are NOT yet available. Carolin (the former MC) had downloaded them to her computer to get them out of her old uploader folder. She'll be along soon to upload them to my folder.

- Here is the summary from the old project, if you want to use it:

In the first place, teaching is not simply telling. A class may be told a thing twenty times over, and yet not know it. Talking to a class is not necessarily teaching. I have known many teachers who were brimful of information, and were good talkers, and who discoursed to their classes with ready utterance a large part of the time allotted to instruction; yet an examination of their classes showed little advancement in knowledge. (Summary by John S. Hart)

- Here are the PL notes from sections 1 and 2. The word substitutions probably cannot be fixed, but the pauses/silences can be:

PL section 01:
00:32 - I hear 'teachers', the text says 'talkers'
03:40 - for me this pause between sentences is on the long side
12:30 - I hear 'thoughts freely of for' instead of 'thoughts freely for'
and the end pause is very long

PL section 02:
08:22 - I hear 'readings' instead of 'readiness'
at the end there is not 5 seconds of silence, only 1-2

Thanks Tricia for MC ing I can sort out the silences but will listen to them to see what can be done. thanks

Michele, I would be interested in reading sections

10 - The Study of Language

but only if they are not too long

Could you please add a wordcount to the sections when you have the time?
