Excerpt from The Elements of Mental and Moral Science: As Applied to Teaching<br><br>The design of this booklet is to familiarize teachers with the idea of the close relationship subsisting between Science of Mind in general and Science of Education in particular. In so brief a treatment there is no pretence, of course, of surveying the entire field; in fact, I have merely written a short essay, calling attention, in my own way, to certain aspects of the subject, in the hope of leading some with elevated conceptions of the scholastic profession to engage in a thorough study of the Science and Philosophy of Education.<br><br>The Theory of Education is a subject of vast scope. If any danger awaits it in the near future it will come from a desire to narrow its range too strictly. The Theory cannot afford to decline aid from very many quarters; and the experimental psychologist, the moralist, the sociologist, even the philosopher proper, may further its development.<br><br>For an expanded introduction and manual the student need be at no loss, Dr. Sully's Teacher's Handbook of Psychology being an excellent guide, by a lecturer of considerable experience. A verification of the references contained in the same work will afford material for mature reflection.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
