This book embodies in a compact form the results of the wide experience and careful reflection of an enthusiastic teacher and school supervisor. James Johonnot was a power in teachers institutes to arouse professional aspiration and kindle zeal for improvement. He advocated the new education as based on the methods of Pestalozzi and as finding its material of instruction not merely in the traditional three Rs but also in natural science. The chapters in this book on the Objective Course of I nstruction, Object-T eaching, Systems of Education Compared, all develop the Pestalozzian method of interesting the pupil in the study of real things. A gain, the chapters on the Eelative Value of the Different Branches of I nstruction, A gassiz, and Science in its Relations to Education, all lay emphasis on the doctrine that natural science should lead in this course of study. Mr. Johonnot ranked himself on the side of the educational reformers, and this his book belongs under the division which we have described as criticisms of education.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental principles of education, challenging traditional practices and advocating for a more holistic approach to learning. The author, drawing upon insights from psychology and the interdependence of various sciences, argues that education must adapt to the changing needs of society. The book critiques the outdated notion of rigid discipline preceding knowledge acquisition, instead emphasizing the importance of knowledge as the essential nourishment for mental growth. Through a comprehensive analysis of the mental faculties, the book explores how knowledge is acquired, retained, and applied. It highlights the crucial role of the senses as the gateway to understanding and the need for their careful training. The author emphasizes the importance of developing both intellectual growth and strength through engaging exercises and the practical application of knowledge. The book further examines the significance of moral education, arguing that a true education must cultivate a sense of responsibility towards others and a commitment to ethical conduct. The author ultimately presents a vision of education as a force for positive change, shaping individuals who are capable of contributing to societal progress. This book offers valuable insights into the science of teaching, empowering educators to understand the true nature of learning and unlock the potential of their students.
