Excerpt from Children's Perceptions, Vol. 12: An Experimental Study of Observations and Reports in School Children

One hopes that, in education as in other arts, there will never be a lack of persons to come forward with new ideas. The believer in experimental pedagogy will accord, both to them and to their ideas, a most hearty welcome. But, he will say, let us see how your proposals work through the teachers in the schools before we accept them. Science must become the handmaid of art in education as in other professions. To talk of a science of education before this experimental verification has been done is to use inflated language which has little reference to reality. But for educational ideas securely based on actual knowledge, gathered under school conditions with the help of teachers, there has never been, I believe, throughout the whole history of education, so favor able an opportunity of realization as at present.
