Excerpt from Studies in American Education
The six essays which make up this volume have been prepared at various times and deal with a variety of subjects. Nevertheless there is between them a thread of connection and relation. They all are based upon two fundamental ideas: that education is substantially one from beginning to end, so that the same or similar methods may be applied throughout; and that teachers of every grade and subject have a common interest and may learn from each other. They are the outcome of a desire to make some small contribution to the great common fund of experience.
That so many of these essays deal with the problems of the primary and secondary schools needs no apology. Every American must feel an interest in the systems which reach the greatest number of pupils, and lay the foundations for later study. A short service in the Cambridge School Committee has taught something of the aims and practical difficulties of primary and secondary education.
