Excerpt from Systematic Methodology: Designed to Rationalize and Harmonize Teaching Processes

To render this entire discussion more complete and systematic, we must see to it that terms are used throughout with consistency we must be careful that no recommendations are given in one connection and vio lated in another; and we must make Clear to the reader that, instead of geography, reading, grammar, arithmetic, etc., being taught by methods peculiar to each and totally different from eaob otb'éif,' they all Obey certain well defined fundamental laws applicable to truth in general. They are, therefore, taught alike, their seeming differ ences being due merely to variations in the application Of the law made necessary by the detailed differences in the matters with which we deal. Only when the last named truth is comprehended can our teaching be made masterful and our appreciation of method become thorough. Till then the highest plane we can reach in school work is that of successful imitators, without a reasonable ground for the acceptance or rejection of any method or device that may be thrust upon our atten tion. He who teaches well because he was born with a capacity for doing things in this department well, may become a successful teacher, but he alone can become an artistic teacher who comprehends the rationale of his art, and then learns how to perform skillfully the things he knows.

Excerpt from Systematic Methodology: Designed to Rationalize and Harmonize Teaching Processes

This book is intended for that great and growing body of earnest teachers and students of education who believe that there is an underlying philosophy of teaching. It contains little that will interest such as are in search of ready-made materials and attractive devices for use in the class-room, to relieve the teacher from the labor of thoughtful preparation.

The author has aimed to furnish a systematic treatment of the problems of teaching. He does not claim that it is an exhaustive treatment, but he believes it to be one without contradictions, and with sufficient emphasis upon essentials to make those who master it, and who possess the elements of a proper personality, able to teach with an intelligent regard for the rationale of their art.

To those who are not inclined to pursue the study of the problems of teaching into the realm of their application, but who are striving to master the various phases of the philosophy of education, from the standpoint both of the learner and of the truth to be employed, Parts I and II are commended.

Those who desire to turn aside from a consideration of the mind, as treated in the various psychologies, and to devote their time to a more direct study of the problems that arise in presenting the different branches of the curriculum, will find these dealt with, in both their broader and their more specific aspects, in Parts II and III.
