Excerpt from Basedow His Educational Work and Principles

In giving a sketch of Basedow's life and work, the writer has confined himself to what appeared to him the most valuable and characteristic ideas of the great school-reformer. The main object of this monograph is to interest the teachers in the study of the Basedovian system of education.

It cannot be said that Basedow discovered new foundation principles of education. He based his educational system on those principles of Comenius, Locke, and other great thinkers before him, which his own experience and the careful observation and investigation of the nature of the child and of the studies had found to be fundamental truths. Through the rational and persistent application of these principles, he succeeded in bringing about a complete change in the whole state of education and instruction.

The effects of this famous revolution can be traced through the whole era of progress that the science of education has made since his time.
