Excerpt from The Humor of the School Child
The significance of investigations such as that of Mr. Tarrant lies in the fact that they are likely by degrees to lay the foundation of a genuine science of education. At present one opinion is answered by another Opinion; and there is no finality. For two thousand years opinions have differed as to whether young children should be hardened by small privatio'ns, but the problem is capable of scientific solution. Instances may be multiplied of educational problems which can be solved by the application of scientific method. For example, does practice in the memorisation of texts train the memory Is a child who is above the average in mathematical ability usually above the average in the history class? DO kinema entertainments injure the eyesight of children? At what age is perception quickest? What do children laugh at? It is not by epideictic speeches, but by patient devotion to the examination of facts, that the path from Opinion to truth may be foundand traversed.
