Summary "The Elements of General Method, Based on the Principles of Herbart" by Charles A. McMurry is an educational treatise written in the late 19th century. The work explores pedagogical concepts grounded in the Herbartian principles, highlighting the importance of moral character development within education. It aims to guide educators in effectively integrating these principles into their teaching methodologies. The beginning of the text introduces the Herbart School of Pedagogy, detailing its influence in Germany and the enthusiasm it has generated among American educators. McMurry emphasizes the need for education to transcend mere knowledge acquisition, advocating for an educational aim centered on moral character-building. He sets the stage for discussing various educational challenges and the alignment of curricula with the moral objectives of teaching. The opening chapters raise pressing questions regarding the true purpose of education, encouraging reflective thought about the methodologies employed in schools.
