Critical Commentary

American educator/administrator and education philosopher William Bagley's advice to novice teachers in 1911. The monograph illustrates key problems of the time: theorizing education as an experimental science, encouraging teachers to be interpreters of students' experiences, and the qualities of an ideal teacher. Though in his entry in the Encyclopedia Brittanica, he is described as an "essentialist" opposed to progressive education; a dissertation done at UT Austin by Wesley Null describes him as a "disciplined progressive", someone who did not fall easily into traditionalism, essentialism, or progressive education movements of the time in the United States.
