Excerpt from Principles of Teaching High School Pupils: By Means of the High School Subjects The use of the term method in the broad general sense that is usually employed confuses it with the problems of device, technique, motivation, etc. On the other hand, the use Of the term in the restricted sense suggested above sets method off very clearly from device, technique, motivation, and the other phases of the teaching performance. The terms device, tech nique, motivation, etc., likewise need to be defined with carefully restricted meanings in order to render them Of the greatest practical value to the teacher. The more carefully the meanings Of these pedagogical terms are restricted, the clearer the thinking of the student Of education will be in regard to the individual aspects of the teaching performance and also in regard to the teaching situation as a whole. Therefore, notwith standing the fact that some eminent writers of peda gogical literature advocate the use of these terms in the broadest possible sense, the writer urges that simplicity and narrowness Of meanings in the use of pedagogical terms is the only way to make them valu able tools of teaching.
