Abstract
WHATEVER criticism Prof. Welton's book may excite, it is undeniably interesting-the most interesting book dealing with its particular problems that has been produced in recent years. With great ability and clearness, the author has drawn a map of life, not as the adult lives it, but as it develops in form and complexity from infancy to manhood. The teacher and the situations with which he deals are in his mind all through. His book is therefore not a treatise on psychology, yet the psychologist's point of view is so dominant that neither does it set forth a theory of education. This Prof. Welton makes clear in his preface. His concern is with the connections between the two-psychology and education-and especially to give a psychological explanation of educational procedure.
