Excerpt from Principles and Practice of Teaching
This book embodies in a compact form the results of the wide experience and careful reflection of an enthusiastic teacher and school supervisor.
James Johonnot was a power in teachers' institutes to arouse professional aspiration and kindle zeal for improvement. He advocated the new education as based on the methods of Pestalozzi and as finding its material of instruction not merely in the traditional three R's but also in natural science. The chapters in this book on the Objective Course of Instruction, Object-Teaching, Systems of Education Compared, all develop the Pestalozzian method of interesting the pupil in the study of real things. Again, the chapters on the Relative Value of the Different Branches of Instruction, Agassiz, and Science in its Relations to Education, all lay emphasis on the doctrine that natural science should lead in this course of study.
Mr. Johonnot ranked himself on the side of the educational reformers, and this his book belongs under the division which we have described as criticisms of education.
