Excerpt from The Psychology of Auto-Education: Based on the Interpretation of Intellect Given by Henri Bergson in His "Creative Evolution;" Illustrated in the Work of Maria Montessori
The material of this book is presented from the stand-point of a practical teacher, not from that of a psychologist.
For many years, the question of training teachers has claimed my most serious thought and effort.
While principal of the training school of Scranton, Pa., where I personally conducted both the theoretical and the practical phases of the work, I demonstrated the possibility of so training teachers that their first attempts at teaching children would be pedagogical. However, this work was largely intuitional for while it was possible to so train the teachers, I could not tell how I did it. The past two years have been spent in reducing my practice to principles.
In this work, I have been greatly aided by Henri Bergson.

This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
