Excerpt from The Teaching of Education Method and Other Papers on Education
In reprinting these essays, I have done little more than make a few verbal corrections, besides adding a prefatory essay and two articles, Nos. 25 and 26.
It is an agreeable surprise to me that a new edition is called for. I-trust that this issue may not be without influence on the spread of scientific teaching in schools. I must confess to feeling much disappointment that our cause has not made more progress of late years - indeed that it has suffered repression rather than encouragement. It is unfortunate that more has not been done to impress on teachers the importance of developing the right attitude of mind in their pupils, that inspectors will insist on so much being learnt and show so little appreciation of the value of method. If boys and girls left school properly aware what an experiment is, what is involved in making one, how very far from easy it is to make a real experiment; if they acquired a true sense of exactness in work and in argument: the teaching given in schools would be of great value in after-life, as life is one big never-ending experiment. I see no reason why there should be school laboratories if the main purpose of these be. not to give training in the art of inquiry.
