Summary:

"Many students have little difficulty in mastering the general principles of the Science of Psychology, but experience considerable difficulty in applying those principles to the Art of Teaching; and it is because special attention has been paid to the application of the subject that it is hoped that this book will be of some service, not only to the student and young teacher, but also to teachers generally. It has been thought advisable to exclude polemical discussions, since they are believed to be out of place in this elementary book, which is an attempt to apply the laws of Mental and Moral Science to school work--to take the elements of Psychology into the Schoolroom"--Preface.
