PREFACE.

THE following outline of a special phase of development in the history of education is not only incomplete, but also, in a measure, fragmentary. Inadequate as it is, however, the author issues it in the belief that it enters a territory in educational literature not yet fully explored. It seems to him that this territory must be thoroughly known before the present questions in education can be wholly understood, and he hopes that his sketch may lead to an abler study and treatment of this field of human growth.

He begs to acknowledge the valuable assistance and advice given by President Walker of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, by Dr. Dickinson, late Secretary of the Massachusetts State Board of Education, and especially by Professor Hinsdale of the University of Michigan, who has reviewed and criticised the manuscript and proof of the entire book.
