Excerpt from The Principles and Practice of Continuation Teaching: A Manual of Principles and Teaching Methods Specially Adapted to the Requirements of Teachers in Commercial and Continuation Schools

IN writing this book I have been conscious of two main purposes - to give inspiration and to give help. I have particularly remem bered the reader for whom the text is primarily intended, and I have accordingly refrained from plunging too deeply into peda gogical theory and speculation, preferring that those who are inter ested should pursue their studies farther afield. At the same time I have endeavoured to offer some definite body of theoretical principles to those whose reading will, of choice or of necessity, be confined to the limits of these pages. Throughout, I have been mindful of things as they are - of the teacher as he is, and of the student as he is. As between What is and what might be I have felt that this book Should primarily consider what is that it should look thingsvsquarely in the face, and, as far as possible, give those who consult it a present help - help straightway directed to their immediate needs and circumstances. At the same time I cannot expect that the very definite expressions of opinion which I have allowed myself upon a very wide range of matters, will escape challenge or controversy: my justification is that I hope thereby to have stimulated in my readers an active, as dis tinguished from a merely passive, interest in educational questions. If I have in measure done this, I feel that to that extent, at least, my efforts will have proved successful.
