Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Two Views of Education: With Other Papers Chiefly, on the Study of Literature It will be found that these pages contain many, and some long, illustrative quotations, and frequent citations of opinion on questions that in recent years have been the subject of controversy. One entire paper, The Function of the Leader in Scholarship, is, of set purpose, largely made up of quotations. There and elsewhere, it has been my fortune to side with the few rather than the multitude, in respect to the solution of problems concerning which nearly every one has fairly definite opinions. In fact, I have more than once, after reading a paper at an educational gathering, experienced an attack upon what were called my ´ideas,´ when I had taken pains to let Milton, or Wordsworth, or Plato, or a number of such men of weight, say for me what seemed to be unquestionable truth. A great deal of the truth concerning education is unpalatable to any crowd, and I am aware of no field where the truth is less palatable to the generality than in the teaching of literature. I must therefore beg the indulgence of the reader for a method of presentation by which I am enabled to set forth, not my ideas - as if ideas ever could be the property of an individual - but permanent human ideas, expressed with the skill and force of men whose utterances are likely to win assent, or at least to receive attention.
