Abstract
JOHANN HEINRICH PESTALOZZI died at Brugg, Switzerland, on Feb. 17, 1827; and in the hundred years which have passed since then, a great change has taken place in educational thought and practice. Especially is this so in the province of school science, a growth almost entirely of the latter part of the nineteenth century. But as with all growths, we must search for the roots in the history of a far earlier period than this; and then we discover what science teachers owe to the pioneers of old, one of whom, Pestalozzi, will always hold an honoured place.
