"The purpose of this series is to present in compact and convenient form, a reasonably comprehensive and thorough teacher\'s training classics which are very rare and difficult to obtain. Having been written by some of the best known experts in the art of education and teacher training methods, this series will be welcomed not only by teachers or those looking forward to teaching in schools, it will also be of immense value for all teacher training schools and colleges, administrators, supervisors, and research workers in the area. The reason for such a series is only one--to present the essential art of teaching in a collection of volumes which are easily assessable and readily understandable.

The obvious advantage of the titles included in the series lies in the treatment of teaching methods from a thoroughly practical and experience-born perspective, presenting the fundamental principles of teaching in the light of best practical experience of the authors. Special care has been taken to point out the functions and limitations of special methods, and this with a view of guarding teachers against the error of accepting them as general methods.

It has been the publisher\'s earnest attempt to present in this series volumes which have been known classics in the presentation of teaching in a clear, practical and helpful manner." (jacket)
