Excerpt from Principles of Secondary Education, Vol. 2: A Text-Book

It is to the New Method of Bacon, refined, corrected, and supplemented by the older method first fully described by Aristotle, that the world owes its present condition and rate of progress. By whatever path he may prefer, the teacher must go back to these primal sources of thought and efficiency for his teaching models, because there are no others. This volume seeks in due measure to accomplish for the young teacher what Mill and Jevons and Mach have done for the man of science; namely, to impress upon him the few but vital mental processes that alone lead to enduring results.

Whatever function vicariousness may have to perform in the ethical world, it has none whatever in that of intellect, for in education no man is invested with the right to think for another; to do so is to negate at once the chief end for which we educate. If, as we are told, the immortal gods laugh with inextinguishable laughter at the follies of men, their glee must indeed be great when they behold a teacher trying to educate his students by doing their thinking for them. But perhaps the gods do not laugh; it may be they weep.
