Excerpt from Studies: Introductory to a Theory of Education
The writer of short and fragmentary studies such as make up this volume may well lay himself open to a charge of arrogant pretension if he gives a long list of authors to whom he acknowledges a debt. If no list of this kind is provided here, I think I have two reasons for the omission: first, that my obligations, neither few nor slight, are almost all of them sufficiently patent; and second, that the rest, if I were to re-trace them, would lead through winding by-ways, of interest to me since I have often preferred these to high-roads, but not likely to be of interest to my readers.
The studies form parts of long series of lectures given to my own pupils in the University, students who propose to enter what is called the profession of teaching. I seem to myself to have been able to tell them very little; my counsels, heard with unfailing patience and a courtesy touched, I have suspected, with a pleasant humour, have amounted to no more than they might quite well have offered to themselves; but I have given and repeated them in the belief that students fresh from their degrees or still awaiting them, are apt, for all their wealth of curious knowledge, to miss some commonplaces of reflection.
