Excerpt from The Kindergarten in Japan Its Effect Upon the Physical, Mental, and Moral Traits of Japanese School Children
In how far are the assumed virtues and promises of educational theories and doctrines actually realized when these theories and doctrines are put into operation? This question is typical of the most important problems that educational science is today resolutely facing and attempting to solve. Just as no educational doctrine is so old or so well established as to be immune to unbiased investigation, so no proposal for reform should be looked upon as so plausible as to claim immunity to the acid-test of measured results. The ultimate effects of certain proposals may be difficult to predict; the immediate effects may be difficult to determine and evaluate; but these are assumptions neither to be made lightly nor to be used as a cloak for mental inertia. The very difficulty should rather be a spur to the devising of means toward accurate prediction, exact measurement; and just evaluation.
Mr. Mizuno"s book records the results of an investigation into the influences of the educational theories and doctrines underlying the kindergarten.
