Excerpt from Herbart and Education by Instruction
We desire to call attention to a thinker who is worthy of being placed in the very first rank of educationists, both as theorist and practical teacher.
Rousseau was a romance writer; Herbert Spencer, a brilliant essayist in the field of education. Herbart was at once a schoolmaster and a profound philosopher; and if it could be said of him that he was "the father of modem psychology," he has no less a claim to be considered the founder of a scientific pedagogy, with psychology as Its basis.
Pestalozzi, a man of admirable natural gifts, but gifts which lacked the support of a sound psychology, had only dim perceptions and " partial intuitions "; and, also, his theory concerned almost entirely the education of little children and elementary instruction.
