Excerpt from Outlines of the History of Education: For Teachers' Training Classes and All Who Desire an Elementary Knowledge of the Subject
When called upon to instruct a class in the history of education in a New York State training class, I could find no book covering all requirements in the subject by the Department of Public Instruction. I found many books which contain satisfactory information on many topics in the training class syllabus, while some topics could be found discussed in the largest encyclopedias, only.
When the pupil prepared his lessons from these numerous and exhaustive treatises, he often wasted time by reading much not essential and often failed to understand what he read. After three years of careful reading, I have succeeded in compiling notes on the subject for my class. These notes were dictated to my last class. The final examination was readily passed. Believing from this experience and from the expressions of other teachers of training classes that these notes may be of service to other pupils, I venture to have the notes published.
It is the wish of the author that this volume may be received in the spirit in which it is sent out. The book is intended to be a guide, only, to the study of the history of education.
I find that a pupil comprehends a subject very much more easily and readily, if he begins the study of its outlines, such as this volume is intended to be on the History of Education.
