Excerpt from The Journal of Proceedings and Addresses of the National Educational Association: Session of the Year 1882, at Saratoga We must further understand all sciences, everything comprehended under the heads Of the known and even Of the knowable. We must under stand what class Of studies will best develop this or that class Of faculties, the order Of the development Of the faculties themselves, and the fittest mental pabulum at the different stages Of development. We must not Only know the human faculties and the branches Of knowl edge best suited to their development, but we must know all that can be known Of methods. Is this method Of presenting a subject better than that? IS there, indeed, any method Of presenting a given subject which is in itself the Only true and natural method Or are we so constituted that I can do better with this method and you with that? And, again, is not one method better adapted to one pupil and another to another? These questions and many others in relation to modes Of work must come up for solution before we know all that must be known about methods.
