Excerpt from The Practice of Instruction: A Manual of Method General and Special

The present work is designed in the first place to be a tool for the craftsman, for the teacher, or the novice who is learning to teach in primary or in secondary schools; but it is hoped that certain features of the book will also possess value for the layman who is interested in the practical tasks of the schoolroom. It will be found, for example, that a large place is accorded in Part I. to the consideration of foreign ideas concerning method and curriculum, while in Part II. the contributors on method in its application to the different branches of study frequently appeal to foreign practice in both Parts the short bibliographies which conclude the several sections contain references to German, French, and American works, as well as to writings by our fellow-countrymen. The presence of this foreign feature is not to be accounted for by any blindness to native excellences nor to a merely wanton admiration for whatever is foreign; it is due to the conviction that practice is the more intelligent the more extended is the practitioner's horizon and the greater the field within which 'trial and error' operate.
