John Milton Gregory's clear and concise presentation of the laws of teaching has been studied and applied in a variety of educational situations, from church schools to in-service programs of prestigious businesses. Teachers from several generations have found solid, basic advice in this book by Baptist minister and educator, John Milton Gregory. 

The frequent reprinting of this classic work, first published in 1884, testify to the timelessness of its contents. Educational fads come and go, but the basic principals of teaching and learning, those discussed in this book, are not subject to the winds of change.
