Excerpt from Systematic Methodology: Designed to Rationalize and Harmonize Teaching Processes To render this entire discussion more complete and systematic, we must see to it that terms are used throughout with consistency we must be careful that no recommendations are given in one connection and vio lated in another; and we must make Clear to the reader that, instead of geography, reading, grammar, arithmetic, etc., being taught by methods peculiar to each and totally different from eaob otb'eif, ' they all Obey certain well defined fundamental laws applicable to truth in general. They are, therefore, taught alike, their seeming differ ences being due merely to variations in the application Of the law made necessary by the detailed differences in the matters with which we deal. Only when the last named truth is comprehended can our teaching be made masterful and our appreciation of method become thorough. Till then the highest plane we can reach in school work is that of successful imitators, without a reasonable ground for the acceptance or rejection of any method or device that may be thrust upon our atten tion. He who teaches well because he was born with a capacity for doing things in this department well, may become a successful teacher, but he alone can become an artistic teacher who comprehends the rationale of his art, and then learns how to perform skillfully the things he knows.
