Excerpt from Learning by DoingBut the end is not yet; it is probable, indeed, that the principal work of improvement in teaching proc esses is still ahead of us. Surely there has never been a time, in any age or place, when educational curricula and methods have been studied by such precise methods as are being employed right now, both at home and abroad. It is becoming clearer every day that the whole business of teaching is so complex that the practical teacher can not solve the problems of the schoolroom, because his time and energy must be expended in doing the best he can according to the prevailing and generally accepted views of instruction. The practitioner needs the assistance of the investigator, who will delve deeply into one or another of the problems arising out of the necessity of leading the young to master a great many things in such a way that they can make use of them in bettering their adjustment to the world of pe0p1e and of things environing them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
