Extract

The American Herbartian movement was, of course, more than merely the activities of the people connected with it. It was a body of ideas and practices. Obviously the Herbartians would not have borrowed and promulgated the doctrine with such success as they achieved had not these ideas appeared useful to the educators of the time. Necessarily the success of the movement was in large part a function of the virtue of the ideas as well as the skill and devotion with which they were expounded.
