To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He adopts certain methods early in his career, and afterwards rarely at all thinks about them. He gets into a groove and his teaching is apt to become mechanical and dead. A teacher may know all the rules, written and THE FORMAL STEPS IN TEACHING 147 unwritten ; but the wise teacher is he who knows when to free himself from their bondage and to allow his own initiative free range. The great thing is to keep an open mind — not to become thirled to any unchanging method. Do not, at any rate, make... a fetish of method. Perhaps the attitude most conducive to a healthy buoyancy and elasticity of spirit is that of the heretic. Refuse to accept any methods as final, even when proposed with all the prestige of authority, until they have passed before the bar of your own judgment. See as many good teachers at their work as you can. Adopt from their methods what you think is good or what will suit your own circumstances or tastes or individuahty. But remember that your own methods, carefully thought out and backed by the whole force of your personality, will serve you better than any borrowed ideals.
