Excerpt from History of Education: A Survey of the Development of Educational Theory and Practice in Ancient, Medieval and Modern Times The Catholic University Pedagogical Series as now projected Will include separate volumes on the history of ancient, medieval, and modern education respectively. This book is intended to be an introduction to the Series, and, as such, aims to present a survey of the development of educational theory and practice from ancient times to the present. It aspires to be a practical text-book in the history of education, and While necessarily brief, it is, the author hopes, sufficiently expansive on important movements and details to afford that general View of educational advance and development Which is imperative for an understanding of current problems. Its Special aim is to meet the needs of the Catholic teacher or student, to give him along With a knowledge of educational history that sympathy With Christian institutions and men, especially in the hfiddle Ages, which a common faith and spiritual heritage demand, and Which contemporary histories of education in English do not tend to foster, and also to enable him properly to estimate those educators and schools Whose theological and philosophical tenets are at variance With the teachings of the Church. A general bibliography and Special bibliographies for each chapter have been provided, so that, in addition to the references accompanying the text, there will be afforded ample material for collateral reading.
