Summary:

"This book is designed to meet the wants of students in normal schools, in high schools, and in other institutions of a secondary character, and also to be of service for private reading, especially to teachers in elementary and intermediate schools. When properly taught, psychology has a very high practical value for parents, teachers, and for persons of all professions and employments concerned with human character and the forces and conditions which give direction to human conduct. This is especially true of the psychology of the feelings, of volition, and of the moral powers. The teaching should be made as practical as possible. In the use of this work the teacher should remember that it professes to be only a text-book. And while it contains as much matter as can be thoroughly mastered by ordinary classes in the time usually allotted to the subject in the schools, yet supplementary instruction should be added, when time and circumstances permit, to topics selected according to the judgment and taste of the instructor. The subjects of attention and interest have been treated in Chapter III., out of deference to the most common order of arrangement. They may, however, be studied with fully equal advantage after Chapter IV., or possibly even later. Some suggestions in relation to apparatus and experiments for illustration have been reserved for an appendix"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).
