ABSTRACT
We stated in the introduction that almost all the conversations afford pedagogically a certain additional yield, although only a few conversations were carried on with a definitely pedagogical intention. As may be estimated from the results to be displayed here, they have at least this advantage over many other pedagogical investigations, that they were not thought out and constructed far removed from practice in the study, but possess the greatest degree of approximation to reality. Those people who have had the responsibility of training children and have moulded the innumerable collisions between theory and practice into an elastic educational front, will have little time for the advice of those pedagogues of the study who cling tightly to principles. What we attempt to give here is a piece of empirical pedagogy, small though it be, i.e. we reveal how instruction, information, and will formation towards certain goals is and can be realized.
