Horne, Herman Harrell. Psychological principles of education: a study in the science of education. *$1.75. Macmillan.
A five part work dealing with the subject as follows: Part 1 is concerned with the general presuppositions of the science of education, being a revision of the author’s discussion of this topic at the World’s congress of arts and sciences at St. Louis; Part 2 treats of intellectual education; Part 3 is concerned exclusively with what pertains to ‘educating the mind to feel’; Part 4 deals with the function, importance, nature and development of the will; Part 5, the concluding division of the book, deals with the problem of the religious consciousness, and the legitimate and practical means for its development.
“The features which do most distinguish its subject matter from that of the earlier books are its emphasis upon emotional education and the inclusion of a separate section, Part 5, on Religious education, or Educating the spirit in man. In this latter the author has given the most helpful discussion of the topic within brief compass that has so far been written.”
