Excerpt from The Principles of Education
This book is the outgrowth of twelve years of class room instruction, supplemented by other work in the train ing of teachers. It is an attempt to present with logical cogency a simple and definite system of principles for guiding educational thought and practice. Elaboration useless for this practical purpose has been avoided.
Attention should be called especially to two character istics of this discussion of the principles of education. (1) Man is here regarded as a person who seeks to attain purposes through means of control and also as a psycho physical organism in a process of adjustment to environ ment through stimuli and responses; but these two points of View, the confusion of which has led to much erratic thinking in the field of education, have been kept distinct. (2) The importance in the educative process of the appreciation of values is here emphasized as much as is the importance of the knowledge of facts, by which appreciated values may be attained. In this connection, the essential nature and function of history and of liter ature and the other fine arts are explained, and the methods in accordance with which this subject matter should be taught are definitely presented.
