Let the main object of this, our Didactic, be as follows: To seek and to find a method of instruction, by which teachers may teach less, but learners may learn more; by which schools may be the scene of less noise, aversion, and useless labour, but of more leisure, enjoyment, and solid progress; and through which the Christian community may have less darkness, perplexity, and dissension, but on the other hand more light, orderliness, peace, and rest.
God be merciful unto us and bless us, and cause his face tos shine upon us;
That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.—Psalm lxvii. 1, 2.
