“It should be said at once that no teacher can hope to get out of the programmes and the methods all that can be got, unless he reads and re-reads what Miss Mason herself has said about them. As I have said before, a copy of School Education or Home Education should be in every school, and should be in constant use. There should be no member of the staff who has not read it. Where I see wrong methods being employed-excessive explanation, excessive questioning, interruption of reading or narration–it is almost always found that the teacher does not know what Miss Mason taught, and has therefore no grasp of the principles that underlie the method that he is supposed to be employing.” (Mr. Household, Parents’ Review, Volume 36, p. 757)
