Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ohio University Bulletin, Vol. 1: November, 1903 A Method of study may be defined as a way by which the mind approaches and masters a given subject; a method of instruction, as a way in which the subject is presented. It is clear that the method must be determined largely by a proper understanding of the two main elements involved, namely, the active mind and the subjects of instruction, and while it is true, and probably well that it is true, that most practice remains unanalyzed in the mind of him who practices, and while it is equally true that sound practice is unerringly associated with sound living and thinking, nevertheless the basis of strength and source of progress rest in the well-reasoned demonstration of truth. A good method is susceptible of defense, a process strengthening to the intellect as well as to the will. It is our purpose, briefly, to set forth the two elements referred to, out of whose mutual relationships springs method, by which it may be explained, and in which it finds its justification. All human life is built upon the same general pattern and proceeds to the realization of its destiny by the same general paths. The soul finds itself dwelling in a wondrous piece of clay. This mechanism needs no description for the present purpose beyond saying that it serves the double function of affording communication with a world as wonderful as itself, of light and shade, of color and form, of sound and sense, of heat and cold, streaming in from every side, and of serving as a fulcrum for the operations of its inhabitant. But of this inner being a fuller account must be given. Its entrance upon life is attended with an apparently almost complete identification with the body. The process of its separation from this connection until at the last it becomes almost complete, is as interesting a story as has ever been written.
