Excerpt from Write Your Own Political Economy, Exercises for Colleges, High-Schools, and Independent Students The title of this book indicates the method pursued. It does not indicate the method of thought but the method of instruction, it indicates further that the instruction is intended to be self-instruction. Since, moreover, there can be no instruction which is not essentially self-instruction, a certain form of endeavor is here esteemed best to accomplish self-instruction of the beginner. This is a form which will call forth his activities and thus illustrate at the outset the principle that man's activity, even more than his wants, is calculated to further his progress. The stimulation of mental effort is sought to be promoted by written exercises. These exercises consist, so far as the contribution of the teacher is concerned, in titles suggestive of crucial economic topics, and also in some dozen suggestions for the treatment of each exercise. The primary intention is that the exercises be, on the part of the student, an original analysis of the situation suggested. Whether he be encouraged to read the text-writers for assistance in his analysis, or be discouraged in seeking for aid outside of his own consciousness, or, at most, outside of discussion with parents and comrades, will depend upon his stage of advancement.
