Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Outlines of Educational Doctrine
I. The plasticity, or educability, of the pupil is the fundamental postulate of pedagogics.
The concept plasticity, or capacity for being moulded, extends far beyond the confines of pedagogics. It takes in even the primary components of matter. It has been traced as far as the elementary substances entering into the chemical changes of organic bodies. Signs of plasticity of will are found in the souls of the higher animals. Only man, however, exhibits plas ticity of will in the direction of moral conduct.
