Excerpt from Chapters on the Aims and Practice of Teaching

The publication of these Chapters has been suggested by that widespread interest in education which characterises the Wales of to-day and promises so well for the Wales of the future. But the degree in which they may prove helpfully suggestive to the teachers of Wales is also the measure of their claim to the attention of teachers generally. Contributed, in response to the Editor"s invitation, by writers whose knowledge and experience entitle them to speak with authority on the teaching of the several subjects of which they treat, and whose sphere of educational activity lies for the most part outside the Principality, they include few, if any, details of purely local interest. Both in England, where so much is said about the organisation of secondary education and so little done, and in America where so much is said and done in the matter of education generally, the issue of an inexpensive volume dealing with the efficient teaching of most of the respective subjects of an ordinary school curriculum will, there is reason to believe, be welcomed as an endeavour to meet a want which is increasingly felt. No attempt is here made to appraise the relative claims of conflicting subjects to a place in the curricula of the schools.
