Excerpt from Common Sense: In Education and Teaching; An Introduction to Practice
Leonato - Neighbours, you are tedious.
Dogberry - It pleases your worship to say so, but we are the poor duke's officers ; but truly, for mine own part, if I were as tedious as a king, I could find it in my heart to bestow it all on your worship. - (Much Ado About Nothing).
The basis of this book is a series of lectures, delivered during the winter session of 1898, on the practice of education. It would hardly, however, have been written, it would certainly not have been published, but for the welcome extended by both critics and general readers to the volume edited by me and published in 1897 under the title of Teaching and Organisation, which was an attempt to cover the whole of the ordinary field of education in chapters written by specialists who are also experts, teachers as well as teachers of special subjects.
When Teaching and Organisation first appeared, the value of the several chapters was acknowledged generously, but some critics of unquestionable authority thought that the book suffered somewhat, in spite of the Editor's efforts, from lack of a common point of view, of organic interconnexion.
Common Sense in Education does not presume to take the place of Teaching and Organisation.
