| dc.description | Education is at present obviously in a transition state. The public mind has of
late become alive to the importance of the subject; and all persons are beginning
to feel awake to the truth, that something is yet wanting to insure efficiency and
permanence to the labours of the teacher. The public will not be satisfied till
some decided change has taken place; and many are endeavouring to grope their
way to something better. It is with an earnest desire to help forward this great
movement, that the writer of the following pages has been induced to publish the
result of much study, and upwards of thirty years' experience, in the hope that it
may afford at least some assistance in directing the enquiries of those who are
prosecuting the same object. | en_US |
