Excerpt from Herbart and Froebel: An Attempt at SynthesisThe notion of a synthesis of Herbart and Froebel was first suggested to the writer by Professor John Adams, of London University, in 1905. Already the outline of a synthesis has appeared in an article in the Educational Review, written by Professor Welton, and entitled A Synthesis of Herbart and Froebel.l Dr. F. H. Hayward, himself an able Herbartian writer, has admitted that this phrase suggests the vision of a third educational Secret, beyond the secrets that seem to him to have been disclosed in the respective works of Froebel and of Herbart.2 The article by Professor Welton is suggestive, and only too slight. A more inclusive comparative study has been made by Professor macvannel, of Columbia University. With the work of Professor Welton and of Professor macvannel the present attempt at a synthesis is in general accord. Like both of these, it assumes the practical value of a philosophy of edu cation. It is, however, widely differentiated, as to its aims, from the former by its scope, and from the latter by a less his torical mode of approach. The writer is deeply indebted to Professor macvannel, as well for his aid in the present under taking as for his invaluable contributions to a philosophy of education.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
