Excerpt from Lectures on Teaching: Delivered in the University of Cambridge, During the Lent Term, 1880
Although eminent writers in both hemispheres have produced works on teaching of superior merit, it must be submitted that the literature of pedagogy is still in its infancy. There is no standard authority, as in law or medicine, to which all teachers can refer and on which they can rely. Herbert Spencer and Alexander Bain have written excellent books on the theory of teaching; but they have said little or nothing on the practice of teaching - hardly one word that would aid the young beginner in organizing and managing a school. Many able instructors in the United States, among whom may be mentioned Wickersham and Payne, have done good service in the cause of education by writing works of great value, - works more practical than any produced on the other side of the Atlantic except the work entitled Lectures on Teaching by J. G. Fitch.
Teachers everywhere among the English-speaking people have hailed Mr. Fitch"s work as an invaluable aid for almost every kind of instruction and school organization.
