First published in 1884, this template for teaching continues to cut accurate patterns. Though the book promises "a clear and simple statement of the important factors governing the art of teaching," it delivers much more. Here is teaching tonic to be taken in strong doses by those who want to rejuvenate their teaching. This classic work by John Milton Gregory should be part of the curriculum for all schools training teachers. That "The Seven Laws of Teaching" is still being reprinted is a testimony to the timeless value of the author's wisdom contained within its pages. There are times when the old ways are the best ways and this book is one of those. Public schools, the failures that they are, would do well to scrap modern pedagogy and practice The Seven Laws of Teaching. John Milton Gregory's clear and concise presentation of the fundamental laws of teaching has been studied and applied in a variety of educational situations, from church schools to in-service programs of prestigious businesses. Educational fads come and go, but the basic principles of teaching and learning, those discussed in this book, are not subject to the winds of change.
