Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Basis of Practical Teaching: A Book in Pedagogy
There was a time when the branches taught seemed to be the center and end of education. From this extreme view of the subject there has been a gradual transition toward the opposite view, that the child is the center and end of education. This is pre sumably the most advanced view generally held at the present time. Yet, while it is recognized that the child is the center and end Of education, I think we are not resting upon this as an abstract or isolated thought. As the transition from the first view to the second and opposite one has been slow and gradual, so the present movement from the child, as such, to the child in his entire setting will be neither rapid nor always encouraging.
