Excerpt from Psychology for Teachers On the comments of another critic I may be allowed to say a few words, since they may serve to elucidate my point of View. The child when he comes under the discipline of the teacher, even in the kindergarten, has already reached a certain level of mental develop ment; he has gained some experience; he behaves in more or less appropriate ways under given circum stances; he already possesses a good deal of intelligence although he has but little systematic knowledge. Why not start with him as he then stands? Why trouble to inquire how this practical and serviceable experience had its origin in the early months or years of life? The teacher, as such, it may be said, has little concern with it. He may take its existence for granted. Such is the contention of my critic. I think it not im probable that others may, in some degree, share his views. They may feel some impatience with my genetic treatment of the initial stages of the dawn of child consciousness, and the very beginnings of the mental life. But it must be remembered that the process of develop ment is one and continuous. It is impossible adequately to understand its later phases if the earlier stages are merely taken for granted. If once the principle of taking things for granted is admitted, we, so far, depart from the more rational principle of explaining matters. In every branch of inquiry which deals with continuity of process it has been found that the initial stages cannot be disregarded if the develop ment as a whole is to be rendered clear. If we just accept the child as he is when he comes to school, without inquiring how he came to be what he already is, we shall not be in a position to understand how best to graft the systematic knowledge with which we are chie y concerned on the naive experience with which it should be in vital touch.

Excerpt from Child Mind: An Introduction to Psychology for Teachers This book treats in a simpler and more abbreviated form the same matter as that dealt with in the larger work entitled The Fundamentals of Psychology. It is intended for use by students in training colleges, by candidates preparing for such professional examinations as the Board of Education Teacher's Certificate, and by young teachers generally. It is intended to be merely an introduction to the subject Of Educational Psychology, and, it is hoped, will serve as an inducement to a further study of the subject. Chapters VIII, IX., and XI. Of this book have been specially added with a view to covering more completely the Syllabus of the Board Of Education for candidates for the Teacher's Certificate. The book should prove specially helpful in training colleges, where the amount of time devoted to Psychology, as well as other considerations, makes the use Of a larger and more detailed work impossible. Many minor matters have had to be omitted, and much Of what is expounded has had to be treated in popular and summary form. But, in spite of its brevity, the book will be found to give a clear account of the nature and development of child mind, so far as it is understood.

Excerpt from The New Psychology, and the Teacher In the second place, the existence of these differences is the very obvious justification of a detached and critical attitude. It is a mat ter for regret, though not for surprise, that this justification is not recognized by the founders of either school, and that they follow the example of most pioneers in resisting com promise and criticism alike.

Excerpt from Everyday Psychology for Teachers During the last decade a marked interest in the scientific study of education has developed. One of the results Of this increased interest and more intensive study is the addi tional requirement of educational psychology in all teacher training courses. Many laymen, indeed, have become inter ested in educational processes to a degree greater than ever before. Much that may be legitimately treated in a course in general psychology is Of purely academic interest and has no value for education. Therefore some topics that appear in works on general psychology are not included here. This book has been written for this ever-widening public the young teachers who wish to get a right start in their pro fession by becoming acquainted with the principles of the subject; the Older teachers who wish to have the results of experiment and research that have met with most favor; and that great number of persons interested in the subject of edu cation who have faith in the boys and girls of to-day and wish to have a part in making them the worthy Citizens of to-morrow.

Excerpt from Introductory Psychology for Teachers: Revised Certain principles have been established as fundamental to good teaching. Theoretically, all psychologists are agreed that a course of study should proceed from the known to the unknown and from the concrete to the general; that students should learn by doing; that the problem or project method of teaching is superior to memorization of a textbook; that functional not faculty psychology should be taught; that individual differences in students should be taken into account; that a beginning course should be designed for the benefit of the great majority who never go farther; etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Principles of Teaching The book demands of students knowledge of the ele ments of psychology, particularly of dynamic psychology. The references entitled 'preparatory' (or their equivalent) will fulfill this prerequisite. These references are to the author's Elements of Psychology, which is in a sense an introduction to the present volume, but any standard course in psychology which gives due emphasis to the laws of mental connections will supply the preparation needed.

Excerpt from How to Teach The art of teaching is based primarily upon the science of psychology. In this book the authors have sought to make clear the principles of psychology which are involved in teach ing, and to show definitely their application in'the work of the classroom. The book has been written. In language as free from technical terms as is possible. In a discussion of the methods of teaching it is necessary to consider the ends or aims involved, as well as the process. The authors have, on this account, included a chapter on the work of the teacher, in which is discussed the aims of educa tion. The success or failure of the work of a teacher is deter mined by the changes which are brought to pass in the children who are being taught. This book, therefore, includes a chapter on the measurement of the achievements of children. Through out the book, the discussion of the art of teaching is always modified by an acceptance upon the part of the writers of the social purpose of education. The treatment of each topic will be found to be based upon investigations and researches in the fields of psychology and education which involve the measure ment of the achievements of children and of adults under vary ing conditions. Wherever possible, the relation between the principle of teaching laid down and the scientific inquiry upon which it is based is indicated.

Excerpt from The Teacher's Handbook of Psychology IN the present edition the Handbook has been revised throughout, and to a large extent re-written. It is now between one-sixth and one-fifth larger than it was in the fourth edition. The additions include some chapters which are wholly new, namely, i., xv., xvi., xvii. And xx. Other chapters - more particularly, iv., vi., vii., viii., ix., x., xii., xiii., xiv., xviii. And xix. - have undergone so much alteration as to be largely new. In making these changes I have sought, while keeping to the original form and mode of treatment of the book, as well as to its original intention - as an introduction to psychology - to make it more adequately representative of the present state of psychology and of educational thought. As a result of the changes the work will be found somewhat more advanced in parts. Any difficulties thus introduced, however, may be considerably lessened by a study of the book under the guidance of a competent lecturer, who may probably advise the student to omit certain portions on a first reading: e.g., on the theory of Development, and on Perception. In this way, I trust, a work which has so long kept its place in the department of educational psychology may continue to be a useful introduction to the subject - primarily for teachers, and secondarily for others who in the past have found it serviceable.
