Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Culture by Conversation
The great teachers of modern times, too - those men who became masters in their art, like Arnold Of Rug by, Thring of Uppingham, and Horace Mann of Massachusetts - were men who knew the value of con versation as an educational factor; men who, by familiar talks with their teachers and scholars, im pressed new and vital truths on their minds, and in spired them to high thinking and noble living. The conversation of these men formed a protest against the rule-mongering, machine-teaching of their time, and it was they who introduced those new views and better methods in the art of teaching which, though Old as the time of Socrates, have since been called the new education.
