Excerpt from Education in Modern Times: Up From Rousseau
The following pages are frankly intended as a personal answer to a personal need. As a collegiate pedagogue, dealing in the history of education, I have for some years been faced with the formidable task of teaching within the confines of one brief semester the main landmarks in the vast pedagogical acres that stretch fromsthe days of the French Revolution down to the present era. The available texts in the field, I confess, weren't of much help. Most of them plunge into their narrative with a recitation of the doings of the Ancient Greeks and Romans, and haul up to a stop. When they reach the days that just preceded the blood-letting of the late war. Such studies that handle the modern scene with all its postwar trappings are, in the very nature of things, specialized jobs, and hence they don't waste much time on the prewar details ex cept in so far as these actually color the postwar situation. Such opera, obviously, are not for the general student. N 0 single work, as far as I know, covers the area which has been traversed in the present study. The usual final chapter of the aver age tome dealing with modern educational trends, I have omitted. W hy? Well, primarily because I can't convince myself that the contemporary peda gogical stream can be bottled and stored away in a single chapter. Present trends, I am inclined to feel, need more space, and hence I have consecrated the whole second volume of this study to their depiction.
