Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Introduction to the Herbartian Principles of Teaching
Our educational text-books, in the past, have ftc quently been full of practical details, but lacking in guiding principles.
We are beginning to atone for our past neglect of educational theory, and to recognise that a study of principles and ideals of education is of greater import ance than a study of the external devices employed by the teacher to make the child acquire knowledge. The subject taught is secondary to the manner of teaching, and the question for the teacher is not, What does the child know but, What is his moral worth?
