The Training Of Teachers And Other Educational Papers

Reprint of the original, first published in 1882.

Excerpt from The Training of Teachers and Other Educational Papers The following papers, having been written on different occasions, contain inevitably some repetitions and do not offer a continuous or adequate treatment of anyone Educational topic. They are also somewhat polemical in tone - a defect for which I would apologize were not the questions with which they deal still subjects of debate. In truth, it is simply because the various addresses and papers refer to. still vexed questions that I have thought it desirable to reprint them. P.S. - I have to thank the Messrs. Longman for permission to reprint the paper on Montaigne and the article entitled "The House of Lord's and Popular Education" which originally appeared in "Eraser's Magazine."
