About this book
The Elements of General Method is based on the principles of Herbart, by Charles A. McMurry. The preface says the Herbart School of Pedagogy has created much stir in Germany in the last thirty years and numbers a thousand or more positive disciples among the energetic teachers of Germany.
The text says moral education is not germane to the avowed purposes of the public school, and that if it gets in at all it is by the back door. A kind of concentration known as the concentric circles has long been practiced in Germany and to a considerable extent in our own schools, and is illustrated by the treatment of geography, grammar, and history. The text says that a child's, and eventually a man's will, is to be guided largely by his feelings, and that whether any care is taken in education or not, feeling, good or bad, is destined to guide the will.
