Excerpt from Progress of Education in the Century Among the many wonderful evolutions of the nineteenth century none are more remarkable, or more full of hope, than the universal interest in the extension of educational privileges to all classes of society, and the progressive reform made in teaching and training children. The century will be known as the child's century. The "New Education" is really more of a revolution than an evolution. New organisation, new aims, new methods, new principles have been substituted for the old, where the "New Education" is understood. If all the work of all the great educators of the past were destroyed, all that is vital in modern education would be found in the writings of Pestalozzi, Froebel, Mann, and Barnard. Pestalozzi and Froebel revolutionized the aims, methods, and principles of education; Mann and Barnard gave the world America's most important contribution to civilisation, - a system of well organised schools conducted and maintained by the state.
