Excerpt from Educational Aims and Methods: Lectures and Addresses
The lectures and addresses collected in this volume have been given at various times within the last few years before different academic audiences in England or America, including the University of Cambridge, the Col lege Association of Pennsylvania, the American Institute of Instruction, the Oxford Conference on University Ex tension, the College of Preceptors, the Teachers' Guild, and other bodies interested in educational questions.
In my former volume, 'lectures on Teaching,' an attempt was made to discuss in succession the principles which should be borne in mind in connexion with each of the subjects of ordinary school instruction, and with the methods of teaching and discipline generally. The present volume is more miscellaneous and less systematic in its character. But it deals with some aspects of edu cational work to which my own attention, during a long official life, has been specially directed, and which, though not usually dealt with in formal treatises on pedagogy, deserve and often demand the consideration of those who as teachers, school trustees, or legislators possess influence in determining the goal to be attained in public education, and the processes by which that goal can best be reached.
