By the safe path of experience and in the light of modern psychology the
ELEMENTS OF PEDAGOGY points out the limitations of the ordinary systems
of school education and shows how their methods may be harmonized and
cooerdinated. The fundamental principles of teaching are expounded in a
manner which is both logical and convincing, and such a variety and
wealth of pedagogical principles are presented as are seldom to be found
in a single text-book.
¶ SCHOOL MANAGEMENT discusses school government and moral training from
the standpoint of experience, observation, and study. Avoiding
dogmatism, the author carefully states the grounds of his views and
suggestions, and freely uses the fundamental facts of mental and moral
science. So practical are the applications of principles, and so apt are
the concrete illustrations that the book can not fail to be of interest
and profit to all teachers, whether experienced or inexperienced.
¶ In the ART OF TEACHING the fundamental principles are presented in a
clear and helpful manner, and afterwards applied in methods of teaching
that are generic and comprehensive. Great pains has been taken to show
the true functions of special methods and to point out their
limitations, with a view to prevent teachers from accepting them as
general methods and making them hobbies. The book throws a clear light,
not only on fundamental methods and processes, but also on oral
illustrations, book study, class instruction and management, written
examinations and promotions of pupils, and other problems of great
importance.
