Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outline of a Course in the Philosophy of Education: Philosophy 181-182 The present outline is a revision and extension of a syllabus in the philosophy of education for some time in use in a class in Teachers College, Columbia University. In it is embodied a paper on the principles of education submitted to a meeting in Louisville, February, 1906, of The National Society of College Teachers of Education. The outline was prepared primarily for the use of my classes: its publication in its present form was an afterthought. The nature of its origin and preparation will explain in part, perhaps, much of its unevenness and many of the lacunæ in its make-up. It is an attempt to indicate some of the important lines along which educational reconstruction at the present time seems to be converging, and to suggest a method for the organization of educational ideas.
