MR. Cooke and his Critics.
To the Editor.
Sir, - the crackle of thorns under the pot, the noise of the school captains and the shouting’s – all because Mr. Cooke has announced himself a disciple of the celebrated philosopher of Goober Valley. McGuphin’s teachings are not yet stale with age. Mr. Calderon, in his valuable life of D.V Green the Oxford scholar, tells how the Goober doctrines were recently promulgated in Oxford itself, with what result we may gather from Mr. Cooke’s lectures. The very Dons are beginning to learn that you cannot get upstairs by sliding down the bannisters. Fortunately, the reform required is easy of achievement. Reverse the present methods, and all will be right. Dr. McGuphin has shaken existing scholastic establishments. They now totter to their fall. His “Outline of Mindology” marked an era, and in Mr. Cooke the learned author seems to have found a ready, able, and eloquent apostle. I cannot do better than to make a running summery of the Goober principles. The study of mind is essential to the teacher, for Education is the development of mind. Contrary to conventional ideas, the youthful mind deals with the general, not the particular. The humdrum teacher attempts to store the mind of his victims with isolated, non-correlated facts. The child’s first impressions are of space and time, quality and quantity, existence and non-existence. It is to the study of these things that the youthful mind must be directed. Dr. McGuphin deals with those ideas under the general title of Exitology. Later when the child is about ten, we come to Scientology, or a general view of science. The child readily digests the doctrines of Positivism in the writings of Mather Whitting, and those of his school, in which Herbert Spencer is included. From science in general to the particular sciences is now an easy step, chemistry, biology, astronomy – culminating in the greatest study of all, man. Man must be studied in all his relations, his history, and his language, commencing at the present day. Modern languages must be mastered before the dead past be ransacked. We must commence with the known, and work back as far as we have power towards the unknown. “We must begin with today, and work back through yesterday to the commencement.” I have put within the quote marks the remark of the great philosopher, which in my judgment, has the most cogent relation to the present discussion. If Oxford deigns to listen to such modern doctrine, might not our local teachers turn an attentive ear?
Yours, etc,
