Description
Excerpt from Herbart and the Herbartians
The purpose of this volume is to give a. Bird''s-eye view of Herbart and his doctrines of education, both as presented by himself, and as developed by his suc cessors. In English-speaking countries his system of educational thought is for most teachers still in the stage of exposition; furthermore, the beginner in every well-organized, far-reaching system is always in need of an introduction. To the teacher, therefore, who inquires for the leadingpurposes of this school, and the methods whereby it is sought to realize them, this book attempts an intelligible answer. It concerns itself but little with Herbart''s metaphysics, and rigorously refrains from introducing confusing refine ments of doctrine. It confines its attention strictly to essentials. Only epoch-making men and their chief contributions are considered at all. If, therefore, amon''g so many men worthy of mention, so few are treated, and even with these the discussion confined to essentials, the reason must be sought in the pur pose to make clear to the inquiring teacher what the Herbartians are trying to do and how they are trying to do it.
