Excerpt from The Art of Teaching
A firm conviction that all the essentials pertaining to Education as a Science, and to Teaching as an Art, can be formulated into a system suited to the needs and conveniences of normal-school and private learners, has led to the preparation of this volume.
It deals exclusively with those questions and duties that relate to the teacher's work, such as organization, study, recitation, government, etc. of schools of various grades, together with some special methods of teaching the branches themselves.
It is the author's opinion, formed and strengthened through a quarter of a century's almost exclusive labor in normal schools and teachers' institutes, that by far the greater number of mistakes and failures in teaching is attributable to the want of a consistent system, and of a practical knowledge of the duties involved, rather than to any essential lack of the knowledge to be imparted, however great, in general, that want may be. More depends upon the manner of imparting and enforcing truth, than upon the mere possession of it, as such.
Hence the very great importance of professional training, to supplement, and to classify and make vital, the mere acquisition of knowledge in the several branches of science.
