Excerpt from The Art of Teaching: A Manual for Teachers, Superintendents, Teachers" Reading Circles, Normal Schools, Training Classes, and Other Persons Interested in the Right Training of the Young
But the treatise is not a manual of methods and devices. It is increasingly clear that what is needed to attain higher success in teaching is not the copying of pattern methods, but a clear grasp by teachers of the fundamental principles of their art, and a more intelligent and conscientious application of these guiding principles in practice. The vital need of school training is to be grounded. To this end it has been the author"s earnest endeavor to present what is fundamental in the art of teaching in a clear, practical, and helpful manner.
The present volume supplements the author"s earlier treatise, the Elements of Pedagogy, which has been so widely useful in establishing sound principles of teaching. It is also the complement of the author"s School Management, chiefly devoted to school organization and discipline and moral training; and it is hoped that it may be at least equally useful in the improvement of school training. The two volumes present the two most important elements in school education.
