Excerpt from Practical Lessons in Psychology
Within the past year the author has, at various institutes and other gatherings of teachers, delivered lectures on Psychology, chiefly on those phases that must, and do come in for a large share of consideration on the part of every successful teacher. The speculative form which Psychology sometimes assumes found no place in those discussions, but only such features as Are quite in touch with the ordinary experience of the average teacher in our common schools. The writer was surprised, and at the same time very much gratified, at the intense interest they evoked. At the solicitation of a large number of these same teachers, the lectures have accordingly been gathered together, and, with slight modifications and the advantage of much additional material, are now presented in book form.
The style has not been changed from that employed in the lectures, viz., simple, direct discourse, because the author desires that the teachers whom he has already addressed will feel that he had them in mind in preparing this book, as he had when writing the original lectures, and also that the friendly acquaintance which was thereby established shall in no wise be dampened by the high-sounding phrases that are sometimes manufactured into book language.
The terms "Mental Science" and "Psychology" are vague to the person who has not been schooled in the discussions of the purely speculative branches. But here we shall dispense with all metaphysical language and get along without technical terms.
