In the first place, I saw the whole training of a great educational institution, worked upon a clear and firmly-settled plan of teaching. I still possess the "teaching-plan" of Pestalozzi's institution in use at that time. This teaching-plan contains, in my opinion, much that is excellent, somewhat also that is prejudicial.
Here also the arbitrary and non-productive style of teaching ran strongly counter to me at every step. Singing was taught from figures. Reading was taught from Pestalozzi's well-known "A.B.C." All this lay dark within me, its value unrecognised even by myself. But my intellectual position tended to become more settled by passing through these experiences.
Oral instruction came into use elsewhere than at mothers' knees; and amid some gross abuses, "the Pestalozzian system" began to work great good. There is almost always some dreary chapter in the history of these representative men. In Pestalozzi's there were several; but the dreariest of all was the last.
