Excerpt from Personality in Education
The essays in this book are the observations of a workman, recorded from time to time amid the noise and business of the shop. For this reason they should be worth reading. A review of the collection has disclosed a certain amount of repetition arising from the fact that the different subjects were treated at different times as complete in themselves and not parts of a whole; but this review has also disclosed a theme throughout which the writer has ventured to call "Personality in Education."
An apology is certainly due to so great a subject for dragging it into the atmosphere of machinery and oil which pervades these pages. Therefore, the writer doffs his cap while he points to his overalls and says, "Please let me have my hour of play without a change of clothes." A little playfulness in the shop is prime oil for the machinery of the school.
