Excerpt from The Purpose of Education: An Examination of the Education Problem, in the Light of Recent Psychological Research

Experimental psychology has made considerable progress in recent years. Fresh knowledge as to the facts relating to the working of the human mind has been discovered; and a new terminology has been evolved.

It is the object of the present work to apply this knowledge to the elucidation of educational problems, in the hopes that some of the confusions and difficulties which prevail, both in the public mind and that of experts, may, to some extent at any rate, be cleared up. Much of the ground covered will naturally be familiar to teachers and students of the subject; but the explanations offered of the psychical processes involved in the art of pedagogy may be helpful in the endeavour of reformers to improve and systematise the somewhat chaotic methods at present in vogue.
