Excerpt from Quarterly Journal of Microscopical Science, Vol. 12 At the present time there is much discussion regarding the manner in which Practical Physiology should be taught to medical students. Perceiving the difficulties which physiological teachers have to encounter in carrying out the new regulations of the College of Surgeons, the Editor of this Journal has asked me to give a resume of my course of Practical Histology. I do not regard my course as perfect, nevertheless I have found it work successfully through several years, and, after having ascertained the modes of tuition adopted elsewhere in this country and in Germany, I have come to the conclusion that on no other system does the student accomplish so much in so short a time. The system of teaching is essentially that adopted by my old master, Professor Bennett, of Edinburgh, the gentleman who first taught Practical Histology in this country. Under Professor Bennett's direction I taught the subject in a manner differing somewhat from that which I now adopt. In Edinburgh, the students of my ordinary class merely examined the tissues. I now find no difficulty in providing every pupil with the means for making for himself a little cabinet of microscopic specimens of the various tissues. This involves little trouble, and greatly increases the interest with which the student follows the class. It is not advisable to teach more than five-and-twenty or, at the outside, thirty students at a time. To teach even this number satisfactorily requires three skilled assistants - senior students who have been through the course, and can assist the uninitiated. The whole of Histology may be gone through in twenty-four lessons, each lesson lasting from an hour and a half to two hours.
