| Summary: | "All our lives we are learning. The main concern of the early part of life is learning. The public school has as its purpose the direction and guidance of the learning of children. All people--teachers and parents in particular--should know as much as possible about the nature of the learning process and the laws of learning. If it is worth while to have laboratory courses in physics, chemistry, and the biological sciences, it must also be worth while to have laboratory courses in the psychology of learning. Only to a limited extent can any science be learned from books and lectures. Sciences dealing with human nature have been too vague and general both as to facts and their application. They must get closer to the facts. They must rely upon the laboratory. No amount of book-study about human nature can take the place of even a few carefully devised and executed experiments. This manual is published in the hope of furthering and facilitating experiments in educational psychology, and is the outcome of fourteen years of experimentation"--Preface.
