_Extract from Preface._

"Experience is beginning to show that teaching, like every
other department of human thought and activity, must
change with the changing conditions of society, or it will
fall in the rear of civilization, and become an obstacle
to improvement.... In this volume an endeavor has been
made to examine education from the standpoint of modern
thought, and to contribute something to the solution of
the problems that are forcing themselves upon the
attention of educators. To these ends, a concise statement
of the well-settled principles of psychology has been
made, and a connected view of the interdependence of the
sciences given, to serve as a guide to methods of
instruction, and to determine the subject-matter best
adapted to each stage of development. The systems of
several of the great educational reformers have been
analyzed, with a view to ascertain precisely what each has
contributed to the science of teaching, and how far their
ideas conform to psychological laws; and an endeavor has
been made to combine the principles derived from both
experience and philosophy into one coherent system."
