He never deals with them in a narrow or so-called 'practical' way." _The Boston Transcript_: "Two of his conspicuous merits characterize these papers, the peculiar power he possessed of enlisting and retaining the attention for what are commonly supposed to be dry and difficult subjects, and the capacity he had for controversy, sharp and incisive, but so candid and generous that it left no festering wound." _The Review of Reviews_: "A strong presentation of the scope and dignity of technological education, and its relations to other forms of culture." _The School Review_: "The scope and power of the contents make the work a permanent contribution to the development of educational thought and principle."
