Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Schools and Colleges A quarter of a century ago a distinguished Writer on education exclaimed, Educational science is yet in all the rubbish and disorder of discovery. Locke, in his generation, had exposed some of its humbugs in England Rousseau did his part in France but before Pestalozzi's day, and long after, education in Europe was a sort of quackery. The monitorial systems of Bell and Lancaster had to be carried out in baskets full and buried the Gradgrinds and Ichabod Cranes ceased to be our ideal school masters the three R.'s failed to complete the school curriculum; and an ability to translate in the class-room a well-conned passage from Cicero or Homer ceased to be the acme of the college course. But, although much has been accomplished, a great deal remains to be done. The rubbish has been only partially removed; and we have but just reached the foundations on which education, as a science, rests.
