Présentation de l'éditeur

In no progressive school are the natural sciences now taught without the use of plants, animals, apparatus and experiments. It is believed that the abstract and deductive study of those subjects fails in giving students the real knowledge and power and interest that may be gained by concrete and inductive study. This little volume is prepared in the belief that the same thing is true in an even greater degree in the study of psychology. The study of abstract psychology and of the thoroughly dried specimens of mental phenomena given for illustration by psychologists leads the pupil to accept on faith classifications, principles, and laws that he can neither observe, verify, nor apply, and not only fails to give him the knowledge and power he should gain from the study, but is often useless and even worse than useless. To gain real knowledge and power, the pupil must observe and analyze the actual processes of his own mind and those of others, instead of taking for granted what the author tells him about imaginary mental processes; and he must be led to observe, judge, and think for himself. With the teacher this is especially important.
