"I am not concerned that the things presented in this little constructive endeavor will not find bodily incorporation in schools; for it is cross-fertilization and not grafting that has given us our richest varieties of fruits and flowers. This work is an attempt at spirit, not letter; at principle, not method."--_From the Author's Preface_.
"A book I wish I could have written myself; and I can think of no single educational volume in the world-wide range of literature in this field that I believe so well calculated to do so much good at the present time, and which I could so heartily advise every teacher in the land, of whatever grade, to read and ponder."--_Pres. G. Stanley Hall, Clark University_.
"It is to my mind the most stimulating book that has appeared for a long time. The conception here set forth of the function of the school is, I believe, the broadest and best that has been formulated. The chapter on Illustrative Methods is worth more than all the books on 'Method' that I know of. The diagrams and tables are very convincing. I am satisfied that the author has given us an epoch-making book."--_Henry H. Goddard, Ph.D., State Normal School, West Chester, Pa_.
"I received a copy of 'An Ideal School,' and I am satisfied that I made no mistake when I, with the other two members of the book committee, recommended the book to the 310 teachers in our county."--_J.G. Dundore, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania_.
"Certainly one of the most notable books on education published in many years"--_P.P. Claxton, Editor Atlantic Educational Journal_.
"You have done the cause of real education an important service. This book is, in my opinion, one of the most useful in the International Education Series."--_Albert Leonard, Editor of the Journals of Pedagogy_.
