“The present volume is a rewriting of manuscript which the writer has used for some time as part of his lectures to students in educational psychology. The aim is especially to show how the results of general psychology and experimental psychology and of allied sciences can be put into use by the teacher and the student in the problems of learning and of study.” (Preface) The author takes the point of view that “the forming, modifying and remaking of habits, habitudes, dispositions, tendencies, etc., under the guidance of ideals set up by society, seems to be the fundamental work of education.” Among the chapters are: Fundamental principles of education; Neurology and the basis of education; The fundamental work of education; Learning and habit formation; Acquisition which involves study; Attention and sustained effort; Feeling habits and moral education; Supervised study and the school curriculum. The book is provided with questions, chapter references, select bibliography and index.
