Excerpt from Standards of Teaching of Foreign Codes Relating to Elementary Education
In submitting to my readers the few Courses of Teaching and Standards of Examination which I have at short notice, been able to collect, I must crave indulgence for any marks of haste betrayed in this work. I was pressed for time. Between its first conception and its actual appearance, little more than six weeks have elapsed, and only a portion of this short period could I devote to the task I had undertaken.
I also owe some explanation to my readers. The work is necessarily fragmentary, but it is a fragment of a fragment. I have only selected for publication a few subjects from the Standards of a few localities. A work containing all the Standards of all Europe, and also an exhaustive comparison of the provisions of the different Codes, would assume the dimensions of a cyclop?dia. Still I hope this little volume will prove of some service to the ever-increasing number of those who are interested in our Elementary Education. I am also anxious to state that I by no means would advise rigorously to follow the footsteps of even the best of these Standards. I am convinced that the energy of intelligence possessed by English children justifies us in making larger strides than some other nations can venture on; but the spirit that dictated these Standards is worthy of our careful study.
I must also point out that the Belgian Standards can be regarded as no more than an aspiration.
