Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lectures on Pedagogy: Theoretical and Practical In recent years the literature of education has been enriched by no contributions superior to Compayre´s "Histoire de la Pedagogie" and "Cours de Pedagogie, Theorique et Pratique." The qualities that are so conspicuous in the first, - wise selection of material, absolute clearness of statement, judicial fairness in the treatment of open questions, critical insight, width of intellectual perspective, elegance of diction, - also characterize the second; and these two volumes may be accepted as the best resume yet made of the history, the theory, and the practice of education. M. Compayre is too wise, too catholic, and too honest to be an extremist, and his familiarity with the history of education has preserved his respect for the thinkers and teachers of the past, and has saved hint from the illusion that a revolution in doctrines and methods is imminent. As the reader proceeds from chapter to chapter he is affected by the words of a judge whose sole preoccupation is the truth, and not of an attorney who is addressing a jury-box. In the wide and wise economy of things, partisans and extremists doubtless have their uses; but the habit of mind that is most worthy of cultivation is temperance, candor, and judicial fairness in dealing with a question so complex and difficult as that of education. This is the prevailing spirit of every volume which has proceeded from the pen of M. Compayre. These lectures will commend themselves to that class of teachers, now happily growing in numbers, who are looking to psychology as the rational basis of their art. They will discover, perchance to their surprise and delight, that psychology is not an occult science, but that the main laws and essential facts of the intellectual life can be expressed in intelligible terms.
