‘... it will be seen that the plan of the work is remarkably comprehensive and almost every page not only gives evidence of exceptionally wide reading, but also of a long and close acquaintance with the practical problems both of the school and of the training college. Unlike so many modern-books on psychology, the volume is remarkably eclectic and impartial… The theories are all there; but they come to life. Students' own problems-the conflicts and difficulties which we each of us encounter-are themselves introduced to throw light on fundamental issues and their treatment. . . . One of the greatest merits of the work is the constant clarity . . . It will, I imagine, at once become the standard textbook for all students of child psychology or education.'
