Excerpt from The Art of Teaching
The following lectures were given by the late Sir Joshua Fitch over forty years ago in connection with the Sunday School Union classes for teachers. So far back as this, and even earlier, teacher-training was recognized by the Union to be the supreme need of the Sunday school, and it is a tribute to the leaders of that day that their pioneer efforts have flowered so abundantly, and that so much of the counsel then given and published has proved of permanent worth.
None who knew anything of Sir Joshua Fitch will be surprised to find any serious utterance of his on religious education in this category. He was a great educationist, adding to theoretical knowledge and wide experience of teaching in elementary schools a practical acquaintance with Sunday school work. Further, the charm of his personality communicated itself to his words. There is nothing arid and pedantic about these lectures. They are popular in the best sense of the term - sound in principle, wide in outlook, simple and picturesque in treatment. More than this, the tone and standpoint are those of a man taking the spiritual view of life.
