Abstract
THE sub-title of this small volume sufficiently describes its purpose. Experimental psychology is extending year by year our knowledge of the working of the human mind, and the attempt is made here to apply the results of recent psychological research to the solution of educational difficulties. The book may be commended to ordinary readers interested in education but unacquainted with psychology.
