Excerpt from Normal Methods of Teaching
The primary idea of education, as Shown by the origin of the term, seems to be the developing or drawing out of the powers of the mind; and it has been supposed that this was its earliest use. It is said to be doubtful, however, whether the Romans ever used the word in this sense, though most modern writers have so understood it. The term has, at the present day, SO broadened its meaning as to embrace both the development Of man's powers and the furnishing of his mind with knowledge.

-
first edition 1879 - used as a textbook in teacher education classes. Interesting reading about teaching methods of 140 years ago, much of which has not changed.
