About the author
Born in Pleasant Hill, Ohio, in 1892, Ray Coppock Beery became known as an educator and writer on teaching and parenting. Library and public-domain records connect him with books including Practical School Discipline and Practical Child Training, works that were aimed at teachers and families looking for concrete advice.
Beery's writing is practical and instructional rather than literary. In Practical School Discipline, first published in the 1910s and now available through Project Gutenberg and library archives, he focuses on classroom management, the teacher's influence, and the shaping of habits and character in school life.
He died in 1979. Today, his books are mainly read as historical documents of American educational thinking, offering a clear window into how discipline, obedience, and child development were discussed in the early twentieth century.
