| Abstract: | Abstract This essay examines the use of object lessons as a component of 19th century Ontario educational practice, and demonstrates their development to interactive lessons in moral and cultural observation. It is demonstrated that the laws of nature and society were perceived as parallel systems of order. The essay then demonstrates the use of these pedagogical forms in the management of classroom situations. |
