Excerpt from Via Nova: Or the Application of the Direct Method to Latin and Greek

Recent years have witnessed a remarkable activity in the educational world, and everywhere we meet with a great effort to make our schools more efficient. Not the least active of the various bodies who are working to achieve this greater efficiency are the teachers themselves. In all the various schools we find teachers eager to keep abreast with the times and striving hard to make themselves more perfect in their particular work. The teaching of the various subjects in the curriculum is engaging the attention of various specialist-teachers, and, as a result, great changes both in curriculum and in methods of teaching are taking place. The self-complacency of the old schoolmaster is vanishing. The place of each separate subject in the curriculum has to be justified. Attempts are being made to find more rational and more scientific reasons than mere tradition for the order in which, and the methods by which, the various parts of a subject should be taught, what parts should be included or omitted and the grounds for their inclusion or omission.
