THIS book reproduces the chief contributions which Prof. Armstrong has made to the literature of education from 1884 to the present time, with the addition of a parody by another hand of that most parodied of music hall lyrics, “The Absent Minded Beggar.” I have been so constantly in touch with Prof. Armstrong, and occasionally so closely associated with him, that the book comes to me in no degree as a new work, and I have perforce read it from the point of view of one who regards the mode of presentation of the case rather than the merits of the case itself. Though the work is entitled “The Teaching of Scientific Method,” its scope is much wider, for it is an indictment of our educational system from top to bottom, and an indication of how education is to be set right in its relation to all the arts of peace and war.
