Excerpt from The Recapitulation Theory and Human Infancy This uncertainty with regard to a principle with important implications for the theory of infancy and psychogenesis, is hardly excusable or necessary. For recourse to the science from which the principle was derived is Open, and no obvious reason exists why its real standing there should not be known. If education is to be spared the humiliation which comes in evitably from building on the sand, it must earnestly endeavor solidly to ground its doctrine. Especially is this true when this doctrine is drawn from the pure sciences, for a thorough knowledge of these on the part of outsiders is not easy of attain ment and a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Moreover, the position of education is peculiarly difficult, for as an art its practice is not only dependent upon science as such; more than one science is implicated. Education is none the less in duty bound either to acquaint itself with the true value of these borrowed principles or to leave them alone.
