This work by Alexander Darroch explores the Herbartian theory of education, a pedagogical approach that emphasizes the importance of the individual student's mind and the role of the teacher in shaping it. Focusing on the work of Johann Friedrich Herbart, one of the most important education theorists of the 19th century, this book offers a comprehensive critique of the Herbartian approach and its limitations. An essential read for educators and scholars of education alike.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.

"The problems as to the end or ends at which our educational agencies should aim in the training and instruction of the children of the nation, and of the right methods of attaining these ends once they have been definitely and clearly recognised, are at the present day receiving greater and greater attention not only from professed educationalists, but also from statesmen and the public generally. For, in spite of all that has been done during the past thirty years to increase the facilities for education and to improve the means of instruction, there is a deep-seated and widely spread feeling that, somehow or other, matters educationally are not well with us, as a nation, and that in this particular line of social development other countries have pushed forward, whilst we have been content to lag behind in the educational rear."
