Excerpt from Educational Problems, Vol. 1
Let us look at the two extremes of good and bad and then ask which we are nearest. I. I deal teaching focuses in suggestion. The more interest on the child's part, the nearer the nascent period for the topic, the more genius and ability, the lighter may the suggestion be and the less method is necessary to touch off the innate springs, the less repetition is necessary and the more sure and permanent the acquisi tion. Such teaching at the right psychological moment is, like a hint to the wise, sufficient. Biographies and religion abound with instances where a chance word or event, or per haps the unconscious influence of a single teacher or acquaint ance, has changed the whole current of life. This is the right.

Excerpt from Educational Problems, Vol. 1
In looking over the past twenty-five years, it seems hardly too much to say that educational thought has broadened more in the past five, and certainly ten, years than in the twenty that preceded. At the beginning of the period the schools were stagnant, the teachers complacent, and the work formal and mechanical. The great movement started by Horace Mann had spent its force. Pedagogy was despised in academic circles (the word suggesting pettifogging to one don in an Atlantic Monthly contribution). Child study was unknown. Psychology of all kinds had no recognition. The philosophy of education consisted chiefly of a few sonorous metaphysical platitudes which mystified far more than they enlightened. Those who brought lessons from abroad were told that American schools must be kept American, and their voice was almost like that of those who cry in the wilderness. Superintendent Philbrick publicly challenged all comers to find any essential imperfection in the schools of Boston, and State Superintendent Dickinson had a philosophy that was remarkably complete, defining everything needful in four blackboards full, on which every large question which teachers had a right to ask was answered by carefully worded formula. Dr. W. T. Harris was rapidly acquiring the almost papal authority which he later wielded among the leaders, now the "old guard." Educational journals of that period were timid, provincial, and are now utterly unreadable. The N. E. A. under the Bicknell regime was being very rapidly pushed to its later prominence as a pedagogic sanhedrin.
