Excerpt from Handwork as an Educational Medium
The doctor's patients have a much stronger belief in the efficacy of drugs than the doctor himself, and the average parent has profounder confidence in the educative value of books than the teacher himself. And, as the 'modern physician tends more and more to recognize that it is Nature that cures, so does the modern educator tend more and more to recognize that it is Nature that teaches, that learning is a spontaneous process which no lack of schooling can stop, and no extent of schooling can do more than modify. The study of this process provides the soundest basis for a theory Of edu cation, and of this process muscular activities are inseverably a part.

Excerpt from Handwork as an Educational Medium
Those who are familiar with the first edition of this book will have some difficulty in recognizing it in its new guise. Indeed it is only by putting a violent strain on the notion of identity that it can be called the same book. The essays not strictly bearing on handwork have been omitted; the other essays have been cut down, rewritten and rearranged; and at least one-half of the subject-matter is entirely new. So drastic a treatment of a book which has found some favour with the public calls for explanation. It lies in the change that has taken place during recent years in professional opinion and practice. The first edition has in fact virtually served its purpose, consisting as it mainly did of lectures delivered when the need for convincing teachers of the educational value of handwork was much greater than it is now. Now the profession may be said to be converted, and the laity almost persuaded.
