| Summary: | "It might seem that teachers, familiar with the theory and practice of modern education, could derive little profit from the study of a book on education written nearly 200 years ago by an author who, however eminent as a philosopher, was not a schoolmaster by profession, and had had only a very limited experience as a private tutor. But, while the methods of education, during these two hundred years, have undoubtedly greatly advanced, the principles upon which they ultimately rest, and which are to be sought in the nature of the child and the destiny of the man, remain unaltered. It is for the light which Locke throws upon these fundamental questions that his essay continues to deserve the attention of teachers and parents"--Introduction.
