The Education of Karl Witte: Or the Training of the Child (Classic Reprint)

When, less than six months ago, I suggested in the course of an article contributed to The Outlook, the great desirability of an English translation of that remarkable book, Karl Witte: Oder Erziehungsund Bildungsgeschichte Desselben. Ein Buch fur Eltern und Erziehende, I had no idea that the opportunity would so soon be afforded of assisting to carry out this suggestion myself. There are few tasks I have undertaken that have appealed to me so strongly, for the reason that Pastor Witte saccount of the early home training of his son must unquestionably be regarded as one of the most inspiring and helpful contributions ever made to the literature of education. I say this with full appreciation of the fact that nearly a hundred years have passed since it was written, and that in the meantime it has dropped so completely out of sight that few even among the most erudite exponents of the modern science of pedagogy have any acquaintance with it.
