“The printing of a new edition of the ‘Methods of teaching in high schools’ has given the author an opportunity to make a number of slight but important revisions. Some of these are necessitated by new scientific investigations, while others are merely improvements in the examples or the phrasing. References have also been inserted to the supplementary volume, ‘Exercises for “Methods of teaching in high schools.”’... The fundamental organization, however, has nowhere been changed.” (Preface to revised edition)

“All that is written is interesting and often it is amusing; but the wit is never biting, the story never cuts in the telling, and when all is told we really have gained a very agreeable idea of our English cousins.”
