Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from On Teaching Physiology: And Its Applications in Common Schools Chairman, and that the constitutional course of action for those persons who may disapprove, is to leave the room during the reading, or to listen, and, at the close, state their objections. Unless this be recognised as a fundamental law of the Association, and firmly carried into effect, the Preliminary Committee, with its right of judgment and powers of rejection, will become a snare; and every contributor will be liable to have his paper rejected by a tribunal of persons who absolutely can know nothing of what it contains! The Association is said to be instituted for the "Promotion of Social Science;" but promotion means "moving forward," - yet the reception given to my communication indicates that new suggestions will not have much chance of encouragement. It is right and indispensable to have a Preliminary Committee, armed with powers of rejection; but if it consist of enlightened men, it will not exclude propositions merely because they are not yet popular; and every friend to progress and co-operation will, without feeling injured, bow to its authority. But the case is widely different, when the Chairman of a Section allows their decision to be trampled under foot. At the same time, I acquit Sir John Pakington of intentional discourtesy towards me personally; and only regret that he - the leader of a national movement in favour of education - should have failed to see the important bearing of the subject of my paper on education of every kind, and the consequent propriety of placing it in the "Education Section" of the National Association for the Promotion of Social Science. I have now only to appeal to the General Committee and to the public, as the tribunal of the last resort; and if they shall consider the proceedings now described as calculated to promote the objects of the Association, I shall bow to their decision, and retire from the field.
