Présentation de l'éditeur
This volume has been prepared at the request of many teachers and Inspectors that I should publish some of my lectures on the Psychology, Principles and Practice of Education, which have been given from time to time before Teachers A ssociations. It was urged that though there are many excellent books on general Psychology, there is still room for one which more directly meets the needs of the teacher. Some of these works are too abstract and deal with philosophical questions that very remotely concern the science of education; others are too superficial, i.e., in their attempts to make psychology easy, they have made it worthless for the educator as well as for the student of philosophy. Most writers on psychology declare that a knowledge of that subject is indispensable in the training of the teacher; but it must be confessed that the ordinary teacher, even after reading psychologies that claim to be specially prepared for teachers, fails to see the direct bearing of the subject on the work of instruction. What is wanted, say the teachers who have the worth of psychology so often dinned in their ears, is a more practical work, that is, one that will show explicitly the relation of psychology to education, and give the teacher a clearer and more thorough knowledge of the principles which underlie true methods of instruction.
