Excerpt from The Psychology of Thinking I cannot send this little book out without recognizing my obligation to Prof. John Dewey for the large number of seed thoughts which have come from his lectures on Logic, Ethics, and Education. But the particular applica tions, developments, and formulations of these ideas, as well as the underlying movement of thought, are my own; and I alone must be subject to whatever criticism they may deserve on account of their defects. I am indebted for valuable sug gestions to my colleagues, President Charles mckenny and Professor Herman C. Henderson, of the Milwaukee State Normal School, and also to Professor W. W. Charters, phd, of the University of Missouri, who were kind enough to read my manuscript before its final revision.
