The field of education is carefully divided, and the total discussion is devoted to the philosophy of education, in distinction from its history, science, and art.
The Psychological Principles of Education
By HERMAN HARRELL HORNE, Ph.D.
Cloth, 12mo, xiii + 435 pages, $1.75
The relationship of this book to the author’s “Philosophy of Education” is that, whereas the first was mostly theory with some practice, this is mostly practice with some theory. This volume lays the scientific foundations for the art of teaching so far as those foundations are concerned with psychology. The author is the “middleman” between the psychologist and the teacher, taking the theoretical descriptions of pure psychology and transforming them into educational principles for the teacher. In the Introduction the reader gets his bearings in the field of the science of education. The remainder of the book sketches this science from the standpoint of psychology, the four parts of the work, Intellectual Education, Emotional Education, Moral Education, and Religious Education, being suggested by the nature of man, the subject of education. A special feature is the attention paid to the education of the emotions and of the will.
