Excerpt from Educational Problems, Vol. 1
Let us look at the two extremes of good and bad and then ask which we are nearest. I. Ideal teaching focuses in suggestion. The more interest on the child's part, the nearer the nascent period for the topic, the more genius and ability, the lighter may the suggestion be and the less method is necessary to touch off the innate springs, the less repetition is necessary and the more sure and permanent the acquisi tion. Such teaching at the right psychological moment is, like a hint to the wise, sufficient. Biographies and religion abound with instances where a chance word or event, or per haps the unconscious influence of a single teacher or acquaint ance, has changed the whole current of life. This is the right.
