The lecture which will be given this evening by Professor Channing on Methods of Teaching History, is evidence that the college is trying to answer the call for more instruction in science of pedagogy. Last year, it will be remembered, in the columns of one or two well known periodicals, as well as in our own, attention was called to the lack of opportunity for men who intend to teach to get the benefit of the experience of college instructors. It was shown that a man may understand a subject thoroughly and yet be unable to impart his knowledge to others, simply because he does not know how to do it. Assuming, as one has a right to do, that a large number of college graduates will become instructors, it appeared that a department of pedagogy, or, if a smaller scale is more desirable, a series of lectures on the subject would be of great value. The lecture this evening indicates that the demand is recognized; it would be appropriate for the other departments to supplement the work begun by the History department.
