Excerpt from The Teaching of History

Since the beginning of the present century a great deal has been written on the subject of the teaching of history in schools. This volume is intended to provide the teacher with some information as to the directions in which improvements in method have been suggested by various authorities, and to indicate the points where recent experiments have accomplished an acknowledged advance on previous practice.

A practical teacher cannot avoid developing a certain bias in favour of some ideas and against others, but it has been attempted in this volume to present the case for each school of method with as much fairness as possible. No attempt has been made to produce a stereotyped syllabus or universal code of rules of method, as it is far too early to decide what will be the ultimate product of the very conspicuous reform movement which is at present in course of development among teachers of history.
