Excerpt from Analytical Psychology: A Practical Manual for Colleges and Normal Schools, Presenting the Facts and Principles of Mental Analysis in the Form of Simple Illustrations and Experiments, With 42 Figures in the Text and 39 Experimental Charts The experiments are not intended primarily to constitute a manual of experimental psychology. Their purpose is to illustrate the facts and principles of psychology by leading the student, Whether a beginner or an advanced student, to dis cover for himself the psychological facts upon which are based the principles of the science. The formation of correct habits of inductive reasoning, through training in psychological methods of thought, is of no small importance to any student; it is indis pensable to students of pedagogy in normal schools, who require not only a knowledge of the fundamental principles of psy chology, but also some training in independence-of thought and action, before entering upon the more extended field of psy chological experimentation in the schoolroom. This Manual can render no more gratifying service than that of diverting those who are destined to become teachers from an unwhole some subservience to psychological and pedagogical authorities toward a confident self-dependence upon their own powers of observation and reflection. The exercise of sound judgment in dealing with psychological facts is essential to any measure of success in teaching, Whether such success proceed from a nat ural tact or gift, or from the intelligent employment of the acquired facts and methods of pedagogy and psychology.
