Excerpt from The Teacher as Artist: An Essay in Education as an ?sthetic Process
In the following pages the first essay raises the question whether the art of teaching may in a measure become one of the fine arts, and answers in the affirmative, under certain conditions. What these conditions are the second essay attempts to set forth. Though the ?sthetic experience is complex and difficult to analyze, I have endeavored to be as intelligible as the subject itself allows, having in mind busy teachers who have neither the time nor the inclination to puzzle over unnecessary difficulties.
That the standard here set up for the teaching process is high, perhaps too high for general attainment yet awhile, is admitted; yet we may steer by the stars. My idealistic writings on education have been criticized for lifting the standards too high, "putting the teacher on a pedestal," and seeing philosophical significance in "mere pedagogy."
