Excerpt from The Evolution of the Educational Ideal With the passing away of tribal life the old simplicity was lost, and customs and habits became more complex. But the primitive mind, so long subjected to the authority of the tribal leader, failed to respond to the opportunity for greater individual develop ment, and became an inert mass, blindly and dully obeying the dictates of a despotic ruler. The birthplace of human history was in the East. The march of progress has been toward the West. New and higher forms of civiliza tion enlarged the content of the educational ideal. The old order changeth, yielding place to new, said King Arthur to his sor rowing knight, and so it is with the old ideals.

Excerpt from The Educational Ideal: An Outline of Its Growth in Modern Times A natural education is not one, as is too often supposed, in which the child is left to grow up, as he may, subject to the chances of his environment, a prey to his own inclina tions. It is not one in which he is kept aloof from man, in a forced communion with non-human things. Neither is it one unwisely trusted to the instincts of a natural, but un trained affection. Still less is it one in which the old ped agogic drill in formal studies is thrown aside to give place to a pseudo-scientific playing, a vague and formless potter ing with objective phenomena. The real natural educa tion is that aimed at in the best endeavor of to-day, in which the child, from the moment of his birth, is steadily, rationally, and intelligently developed, by trained and sym pathetic minds, towards the best manhood possible to him. Such an education is not simply mental; it is physical; above all, it is moral. In it, the child's individuality is preserved, but is pruned and guided; he himself furnishes the impulse towards his own development, but the channels in which this force acts, the ends towards which it directs itself, are determined for him. A natural education is one in which the subject taught is secondary to the manner of teaching; in which the task done is subsidiary to the effect of doing it; in which the question to be asked at the com pletion of an educational step is not, What has the child learned? But, What has the child become? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Evolution of Educational Theory The first and the most natural consequence of a historical survey of philosophic thought is to induce despair of philosophy. It presents us with the spectacle of the human mind endeavouring to understand the central facts of experience, and failing, in every age and every country, to give an indisputable or final explanation of any one of them. The only reward of historical research in this department seems to be a collection of inconclusive and mutually inconsistent opinions Inflated into theories of a reality which exceeds mans utmost powers to comprehend.

Excerpt from The History of Ancient Education: An Account of the Course of Educational Opinion and Practice From the Earliest Periods of Which We Have Reliable Records to the Revival of Learning I propose to discuss the history of educational efforts and educational ideas among those peoples with which our own progress is most intimately connected, from the earliest periods of which we have any reliable records, down to the times in which we ourselves are actors. This is a most interesting and suggestive branch of historic study, since it not only reveals to us the efforts of the historic races at various epochs to fit their offspring to fill successfully the places they were destined in the course of nature to occupy in society and in the State, but also brings us into the most vital contact with the controlling ideas of these races, - with their ideals of life and conduct, with their views of human progress, human perfection, and human destiny.

Excerpt from A Student's History of Education There is a growing conviction among those engaged in training teachers that the History of Education must justify itself. It is believed that, if this subject is to con tribute to the professional equipment of the teacher, its material must be selected with reference to his specific needs. Antiquarian interests and encyclopaedic complete ness are alluring and may in their place prove praise Worthy and valuable, but they do not in themselves supply any definite demand in the training of teachers. The greatest services that the History of Education can perform for the teacher are to impel him to analyze his problems more completely and to throw light upon the school practices with which he is himself concerned. By presenting a series of clear-cut views of past conditions, often in marked contrast to his own, it should make him conscious that the present educational situation has to a large degree been traditionally received, and it should at the same time especially help him to understand the origin and significance of current practices. In this way a study of the History of Education will disrupt the teacher's complacent acceptance of the pres ent, and will enable him to reconstruct his ideas in the light of the peculiar conditions out of which the educa tion of his times has sprung. Whenever historical records do not assist in such an analysis and synthesis of present day problems, they may be frankly dismissed from dis cassion. This conception of the subject, I have myself.

Excerpt from Outlines of Educational History Probably the most comprehensive idea of what correct education should do was expressed by Bishop Temple, who said that, It is the power whereby the present ever gathers into itself the results of the past, and trans forms the human race into a colossal man whose life reaches from the creation to the Day of Judgment. The successive generations of men are days in this man's life The discovery of inventions which characterized the different epochs of the world's history are his works. The creeds and doctrines, the opinions and principles of the successive ages, are his thoughts. The state of so ciety at different times forms his manners. He grows in knowledge, in self-control, in visible size, just as we do, and his education is in the same way, and for the same reason, precisely similar to ours. Pascal expressed the same thought when he said, The entire succession of man through the whole course of ages must be regarded as one man, always living and incessantly learning. These broad conceptions of educational processes are essentially modern, and the more they take possession of the minds of the people, the more and more will it be realized that education does not consist in following dogmatic courses of study, memorizing little understood statements, or mastering set tasks, but rather the joyous and free exercise of all the human powers in the search for truth.

Excerpt from The Democratic Ideal in Education IN our land there is to-day considerable discussion upon educational matters. Appeals are made sometimes to our reason, and sometimes to our prejudices, and considerable bitterness of feeling is aroused and displayed, and generally much pother is created upon matters that are only incidentally educational. Let us trust that out of this evil good may come. Let us hope that what is at present an interest produced artificially, and with much labour, may become perennial and natural. Let us seize this golden opportunity to make our people permanently interested in this fateful problem of national education, so that the popular apathy, which in the past has been our curse, may develop into a popular vigilance, without which no truly national system is possible. But popular vigilance needs popular intelligence. Until our people can be made to see the true inwardness of their own instinctive faith, until they can be made to realise what national training means, and to understand why we need a better system of education - not, indeed, to beat the German, but to beat the devil - only when these matters have become part of our common faith may we look for the regeneration of this land.
