Excerpt from The Essentials of Method: A Discussion of the Essential Form of Right Methods in Teaching

Analogies play an important rôle in all explanations of mental phenomena. This is true because nearly all our terms for mental processes and products are borrowed from sense. Among the many analogical theories of mind, and hence of education, two are particularly prominent: (1) That which regards the soul as a germ, containing by involution that which it is to become by evolution, - a self-active power which seizes upon its surroundings, appropriating what is useful for the development of its predetermined form and content; and (2) that theory which regards the mind at any given stage of its development as the resultant of the manifold forces of its environment, as a product more externally than internally produced.

The first of these views may be called the germ theory of education; the second, the architectural theory. According to the first notion, the mind is a self-producer of a predetermined product. According to the second, it is the result produced by the educational architect. The first conception makes the teacher merely a gardener; the second makes him an architect of mind.
