Excerpt from Great Teachers of Four Centuries: An Outline History of the Great Movements and Masters of the Past Four Hundred Years, That Have Shaped the Theory and Practice of the Education of the Present The object of this volume is to present as clear an account of the historical development of educational thought as is possible within the limits of fifty pages. The aim has been to adapt it to the needs of the great body of busy teachers who have neither the time nor the means to make a comprehensive study, but are earnestly striving to be informed regarding the facts that are indispensable for an understanding of the theory and practice of modern education. The material here offered originally appeared in Educational Foundations, a monthly magazine planned to aid young teachers who want to advance in professional studies. The text has been carefully revised. Among the additions that have been deemed desirable are outlines of the lives and educational ideas of Ascham, Mulcaster, and Herbart, and a sketch of Fr bel's kindergarten plan. The portraits that adorn the pages have been selected from authentic sources. The sketch of the development of American pedagogics that is added to this volume contains several interesting facts that are not to be found in any other work on the general history of education.
