McMurry McMurry was an American educator, and pioneer in American Herbartianism. Herbartianism is an educational philosophy, movement, and method loosely based on the educational and pedagogical thought of Johann Friedrich Herbart. This method states that maintaining the integrity of a student's individuality for as long as possible during the education process as well as an emphasis on moral training is a main education goal. This text breaks down McMurry's thoughts and his explanation for these alternative educational and child-rearing systems.
