Excerpt from Suggestion in Education
I can scarcely allow this book to o into a second edition without making some allusion to the criticism of its doctrines which has been reiterated by Dr. F. H. Hayward on every second page of his recently published volumes, Education and the Heredity Spectre (1908) and Day and Evening Schools (1910). It is difficult to be angry with Dr. Hayward even with the greatest wish to indulge one's passions. Indeed, when he refers to the state of English opinion upon education in the following words, "There is not even a single healthy and honest controversy being fought out at the present day. In any country that was educationally awake, Mr. Keatinge's important and arrestive doctrine of 'contrariance' would, during the past two years, have awakened animated discussion," it is impossible for me not to feel that he is a sympathetic critic, and that a reply to his criticism almost smacks of discourtesy. His remarks, however, embody such a misapprehension of the proper use of terms, that in the interest of educational theory I cannot let them pass unchallenged.
